Dear reader, this is my first book. I really hope you love the story. Enjoy!🥰
Hrolf sighed reluctantly, he turned to the guards. "Unlock her." He said and they opened the cell, unlocking Ashina from the chains that held her. "Thank you for the opportunity." Ashina said, though she knew that her appreciation will mean nothing to him. Hrolf walked out and Ashina followed him, she looked around the Pack as they kept walking and realized how big it was. It was bigger than what she heard, and from what she knew, this wasn't the whole Pack, this was the area the Alpha showed her, she couldn't wait to explore everywhere, once he allowed her to be part of the Pack. She hoped she was able to heal his son or it would give him an upper hand over her. For her sake and for his son's, she hoped she was able to. Hrolf stopped before the door that led to his son's room. He glared at Ashina once more, wondering if he was making the right decision by letting her near his son. He decided to take his chances, somehow he had little hope that she could help him. Ashina watched
Ashina couldn't stop her beating heart. She moistened her lips and swallowed back audibly. She knew he wouldn't let her in his Pack just like that, after all they were enemies but she didn't expect being asked to duel. She still felt weak after using her energy to heal Gael but even at that, did she have any hope against him? She hoped she could still have the energy to fight him. He was a strong warrior and from the news she had heard, he never lost when fighting. For some reason, she was scared. Ashina sat back on the bed, biting her nails and hitting her head on the wall while thinking of ways she could win him. She knew it was somehow impossible to win Alpha Hrolf, if the stories about him were true she didn't stand a chance. She may be have been strong enough to fight the warriors in her Pack,but she wasn't sure it was enough to beat the Alpha. She had almost forgotten she wasn't alone in the room when the tall guard who had come to announce Gael's sickness cleared his throa
The arena was so big, it had large seats that could hold upwards to twenty thousand people at once, and it could hold up to thirty thousand or even more. It was a dome-like structure made of marble that was painted a dark gray color. There were several entrances and it was beautiful. It had several tiers and there was an open space near the middle which was used for free entertainment during fights and other activities. The crowd quieted when she walked in with the guard. She realized this pack had lots of challenges and that's why they had a place for fighting. She could hear sneers and boos. Ashina realised how loyal they were to their Alpha, she hoped it didn't unnerve her. She heard cheers and realized that Alpha Hrolf walked in. She turned around and swallowed. Her heart pounded hard in her. He stood in the ring facing her, ready to battle. Just one look at Gael had Ashina's nervousness floating away. He smiled at her waving and she waved back. She saw a young lady dr
Hrolf walked around his office, thinking of ways to stall this announcement. He didn't want her here and he didn't want to announce it, but somehow he knew he had to. He blamed himself for letting her get the best of him during the duel, he couldn't believe she had the strength to push him to the ground and was also smart enough to outsmart him. It ticked him off because he was much stronger than her and it made him believe that she really had a motive for being here. What made him upset was how Gael had approached the night before to plead with him to accept her in the Pack. For some reason, he felt like she won over his son who wasn't impressed easily and didn't talk to everyone much. He was just polite, but he disliked associating. Frustrated and tired of vain thinking, he sighed and accepted the fact that she would be part of his Pack, but he decided to make sure her life was a living hell. He would ensure that she regretted coming here. He concluded that he would keep tormen
Ashina couldn't believe her luck, she was so happy. But she knew she would love spending time with Gael more. As long as she wasn't sent out of this Pack, working as a nanny and housekeeper was better than being caught by Zeeb. She smiled at Gael as he bounced to her side. He flashed a wide smile at her as she threaded her hand through his hair. "I'm so happy, my father decided that you stay here. I knew he would never reject me." Gael propped his chin on his hand, staring at her with a smile. "Sweet boy." Ashina chuckled. Gael linked his hand with Ashina's and tugged at it. "Where are we going?" Ashina asked him. "To my dad's mansion, the place you saw me in when you came earlier, that was my room." Gael said. "I figured." Ashina replied. "You know almost everything and you haven't spent a week here." Gael unlinked his arms and kept hopping from left to right. "You're really smart, you know, you talk like an adult at times." Ashina chuckled. She felt connected to him. He w
She had stayed here for over three weeks now and with each passing day, she enjoyed it except for Hrolf's cold attitude towards her. Ashina's routine was to make breakfast and coffee for an Alpha who took it without glancing at her. Ashina ignored his behavior and continued her work in the house. "Ashina." Gael ran inside the house. "How are you, sweet boy?" Ashina asked, ruffling his hair. "I'm very excited and happy." Gael hopped around. "You didn't have to tell me, I can see that." Ashina said. "I wanted you to know." He said. "So what's making you happy?" Ashina asked. "I was just excited that I was coming home to meet you." Gael said. He was exhausted from the training he got from his father and hadn't even waited. "I was bored and tired. I also missed you." Gael confessed. "You missed me huh?" Ashina asked with a smile as she watched him nod. "Yes, I missed you." He affirmed. "You saw me this morning, Gael." Ashina reminded him. "Yes, but I missed you." Gael look
Ashina swallowed realised it was Alpha Hrolf She felt intense eyes on her immediately she woke up but hadn't known he was the one, she felt someone staring at her. She sat up immediately. She wasn't able to sleep well in the cell as it was worse than the one they put her in before. Her neck itched and she felt sweaty coupled with the whiny mosquitoes who had decided to disturb her. n Hrolf moved closer to Ashina, his eyes shooting daggers at her. He realised that he was right all along. She wasn't to be trusted, in fact, anyone with the Tala name wasn't to be trusted. He was so sure she healed Gael at first to be free, then she allowed him to get hurt again and pretended to not have the ability to heal again. He didn't have a healer in his Pack, yet he knew healing powers didn't disappear that easily. Their powers didn't just stop unless something was wrong. Was it a physical problem? He thought as he studied her through the illumination of the golden lamp. It didn't seem like
Ashina prayed for the ground to open and swallow her when she found out she couldn't heal Gael. She didn't understand what was happening, she could heal herself but didn't know why she couldn't heal Gael."I thought as much." Hrolf's hard voice dripped with sarcasm which chilled her to her bones.Anyone with the Tala name was always vengeful and he guessed Ashina Tala wasn't any different from her father. He was sure she was doing this to torment him just like her father.Hrolf smiled bitterly as he watched Ashina try harder to heal Gael. "I think we shouldn't keep on wasting our time here. Are you done?" Hrolf asked."I don't know why I can't do it, I've really tried and it's not working." Ashina admitted defeat."Sure you have." Hrolf scoffed.If she thought that pity face would work on him, she was wrong, he wouldn't fall for it anymore. She was just like what he knew she'd be, she had been disguising at first, pretending to be different from her father, but everything that happe
