"You need to rethink Hrolf," Gasper advised him while they were walking down the hallway leading to the dressing room where his robe was kept. Hrolf stopped in his step and turned to look at Gasper. "You should know that you are in my pack and I get to rule the way I want," He answered Gasper. " But still, you said that Ashina might be friends with the spy, wouldn't you think about her feelings?" Gasper asked Hrolf turned around, and pulled Gasper by the collar of his shirt, gazing blankly into his eyes. "I do not care about anyone's feelings, people should know what awaits them when they step on my toes," he said to Gasper. " You have always been known as a good leader, do not spoil the reputation that you have built all this while,'' he said to Hrolf. Hrolf released his tight grip on the collar and walked away. He didn't have time for all of these. He needed to prepare for the execution of Orwella. Gasper trailed behind Hrolf wanting to change his mind. He needed to do somet
Gasper ran as fast as he could with Ashina in his arms in the passageway. "Where is her room?'' he questioned one of the maids who was walking by. "Come with me," she responded.Gasper walked as fast as he could with Ashina in his arms. When the door creaked open he rushed in with Ashina and placed her gently on the bed. "You are going to be alright, yes you will," He kept on muttering, reassuring himself and reassuring her even when he knew she wouldn't be able to hear him. He ran a hand through his hand frustrated, he had warned Hrolf but instead of Hrolf listening to him, he had done the one he pleased. He bent down and placed a finger on Ashina's neck. He exhaled when he found out she was still breathing soundly. It must have been traumatizing for her, watching her friend's head roll to the ground. Gasper turned his head to the door when he heard it creaking. Hrolf walked in followed by a woman who was fully clothed in white. "Examine her," Hrolf ordered. Gasper gritted his
"Gael, where are you going?" Hrolf questioned. He got up from the marble tiles he had been kneeling on and walked toward the door.Gael turned to face him with teary eyes. Hrolf felt his heart stop when he saw his son's eyes. "Why are you crying?" He asked. His voice was low and filled with emotions Gael sniffed while rubbing his hands on his snort. "You didn't answer me, dad, don't you like me anymore? Is that why you don't want to?" He asked. " Noo, noo, you know I love you too much to deny you of anything all you have to do is say it and I will get it for you," Hrolf uttered. " Then why aren't you answering my questions about my mother? Did you lock her up again?" He asked. Hrolf palmed his forehead. Raising a toddler wasn't easy. He had been doing a great job all this while and it seemed like all of that bad changed since Ashina came into Gael's life. Gael had not only liked her, but he had also taken her as his mother. "Your mother is fine. She will be here soon," he answe
Hrolf's grip tightened on the door when he saw how tight Gasper hugged Ashina to himself. There was hardly a gap between them and he could see her Jewel pressing against Gasper's chest. "What are you doing?" He questioned with an angry tone. Ashina was enraged when she saw who it was, she was about to lash out at him when she saw his little cutie."Mother, why are you crying?" Gael asked innocently. He pulled off his hand which was wrapped tightly against Hrolf's wrist and walked swiftly toward Ashina. He stared at Gasper who had been hugging Ashina tightly and glared at him. "Why did you hurt my mother?" He questioned angrily. "Gael," Ashina called out his name softly."Mother, he hurt you didn't he?" Gael questioned with an infuriated look on his face. Ashina shook her head at him with a smile on her face. She stared at Hrolf whose eyes had never left hers and bit into her lips. "Come here Gael," Gael walked toward her with a pout on his lips. He sat on the bed, giving Gaspe
Ashina ran a hand through her hair as she stared at Gasper who was making his way to the door. She had thought that he would be keeping her company but instead, he had confessed his feelings to her and waved her goodnight. "Coward," she spat out harshly hoping he would hear what she had just said. Gasper halted in his steps and turned around walking toward Ashina with a stern look on his face. "Do you want to try repeating what you have just said and see what I will do?" He asked, his face arched closer to hers Ashina gulped when she felt his hot glares at her. She felt naked under his gaze and tried averting her gaze but she couldn't. Gasper's hands held her face. "I didn't say anything wrong, I barely know you, what do you want from me because I know you don't love me," Ashina said to him. She wasn't a fool not to see beyond the facade he had on. She could see that he wanted something else and she wondered what it was. Gasper who had been seen inhaled sharply before getting o
Ashina walked down the hallway leading toward Hrolf's quarter. She averted her gaze to the ground as the heavy weight of the documents she was carrying made her stumble to the ground causing the parchment of paper to scatter on the ground. "Ugggh," Ashina grunted as she bent down to pick up the parchment which had fallen on the ground. She never knew it was this hard-working for the pack, being appointed by Hrolf as his assistant had its perks and she enjoyed it to a certain level although she missed spending time with Gael more. "You shouldn't take all of this alone when I am here for you," Gasper said with a smile on his face. " Where have you been?" She asked him with a smile on her face. "Searching for the angel in my life," Gasper answered. Ashina burst into laughter smiling at Gasper. She couldn't stop smiling no matter how hard she tried not to. Gasper has a way of making her smile. "Sooo, have you seen her yet?" "Yes, I have," Gasper answered. He crouched down to
Ashina stared at Hrolf with tears gliding down her eyes. Hrolf felt his heart prick him when he watched the tears slide down her eyes. "I am sorry" he apologized, losing his grip on her neck. Ashina placed a hand around her neck, shivering and gasping for breath. "I hate you, I do, you keep bullying and making me unhappy, why are you hurting me? Why do you hate me? You dislike everything about me don't you?" " I.. I... I don't… get out," " What? " Ashina asked, looking surprised, her hands still rubbing her neck. "You can't just send me away," she pointed that out to him.Hrolf ran his hands through his hair, Ashina was driving him crazy with all of her movement. Her hands on her neck looked appealing to him and he wondered if he was alright. "You should take a rest today, come back tomorrow and continue arranging all of these," he pointed at the parchments on the table. "You will be attending the pack meeting with me later on tomorrow so I will need you to get all of this wor
"You look astonishing," Gasper whispered to Ashina. Ashina had changed into a green flowery gown with a cloak and had paired them with shoes he had gifted her. She hoped that he would see it and compliment how nice they look on her feet also. "Thank you," Ashina said shyly, she had a smile on her face and raised her hand to tuck back the hair that fell in front of her face but Gasper beat her to it. "You shouldn't be doing that when a gentleman like me is here for you," He bent down and whispered into her ear causing goosebumps to form on her skin. "Thenn, I will make sure I leave all of this to you next time when we are together," Ashina blurted out. She placed a hand on her mouth when she thought of what she had just said."Ahaha, you know you are cute, don't you? I think that is one thing about you that caught my fantasy,'' Gasper said softly to her. Ashina bit into her lips while thinking of what to answer. She was at a loss for something to say and she knew she had to be car
