Cassie stood still watching Erik and Hrolf talk about what she assumed was important but wasn't supposed to be heard by her. She stared at the sun which was shining brightly and announcing the break of a new day. "Hrolf," she murmured. Hrolf was relegating her to the background and that was something she wasn't going to condone. She couldn't understand why she had to walk away while leaving him alone with Erik. She was the next in power after him since Gael was too small to rule so if anything happens to him she would assume the role but still, he couldn't consider her and how she would feel before dismissing her. She felt relieved at the fact that she wasn't caught by him, at least Ashina hadn't said anything yet and she hoped that she wouldn't. She was ready to do anything that was requested of her by Ashina as long as it was within her power. She walked away toward her room pondering on what to do to remain relevant. She wasn't expecting Hrolf to have suspicion toward her after
Ashina smirked at Cassie. She didn't intend to eavesdrop on the conversation she was having but somehow she heard all she had said to the guard. "I was waiting for you," Ashina answered while tapping her hands on the bed with a smile on her face. Cassie bit into her lips wondering why this was happening to her. She regretted coming in contact with Ramon in the first place and worse she regretted being a part of all that had been happening. "What do you want?" She questioned while hoping Ashina wouldn't ask for something awkward just like the guard had. It was easy getting to dismiss the guard and although she had plans of killing him. She knew doing so with Ashina wouldn't be possible because Hrolf had his eyes on her at all times. "You know as ladies, we should always support each other no matter the situation in which we find ourselves," Ashina said. Cassie squinted her eyes at Ashina wondering what she was saying. "Yes, what do you mean by that?" She questioned. " You aren't t
" What are you doing here?" Hrolf questioned Ashina who looked speechless. "What are you doing here?" She asked while biting on her nails. Hrolf frowned at Ashina and shoved her aside to stare at Cassie who was staring back at him. "What were you both doing together?" Hrolf questioned. He had come looking for Cassie and was astonished to see Ashina with her. "When did you both become friends?" He questioned in shock. "Umm…you know umm…I was," Ashina was trying to find the right word to say but she couldn't make a complete sentence no matter how hard she tried to. She averted her gaze to the floor waiting for Hrolf to caution her but still, he didn't. Hrolf walked close to Ashina and used his finger to raise her head. "I was thinking you would start apologizing for leaving my son alone, why do you keep disobeying my orders?" Hrolf asked. He peered into Ashina's ocean-blue orbs, getting lost in them for a while. Cassie clenched her fist tightly watching the interaction between Hro
Hrolf walked out of the white wolf's estate deep in thought. He had been told not to touch her after she collapsed and he had watched her attendant carry her into the inner chamber. "Alpha," Erik called out to him when he walked close. It was the dawn of another day and his eyelids were heavy. He hadn't shut his eyes throughout the night before and he needed to rest. "Erik, you are here, I thought you would have been gone already,'' Hrolf said. All that the white wolf had said kept running through his mind and he inhaled sharply. "You said I should wait for you Alpha," Erik answered. Hrolf nodded at him. He had told Erik to wait for him till he was back and he did."What did the white wolf say?" Erik asked as they walked out of the white wolf estate. Hrolf inhaled sharply while contemplating what to answer. The white wolf had told him never to let go of Ashina and hearing that her wolf when merged with his would birth an ultimate wolf, he was going to risk it all. He was ready to p
"Ugggggh," she screamed out in anger as she swept her hands on her dressing table, throwing down everything that was on top of it.Dhe gnashed her teeth in anger as she thought of all that had happened. She had prepared everything, she had made all preparations but instead, that useless girl had spoilt her plan. Why now? Why this time when he was finally looking at her? She wondered.She inhaled sharply as she walked out of her room. She had made plans. Plans that needed to be executed. Plans that needed her time. She looked around her surroundings before stepping on the passageway. She needed to make sure she wasn't tailed before stepping out of the pack. "Hey," someone jumped out of the passageway and her heart almost jumped out of her body. She placed a hand on her chest to calm down her racing heart."You scared me," she muttered, punching the person who had jumped out suddenly in the chest. "Ouch," the person feign hurt even when he knew he wasn't in pain. He placed a hand on h
"Alpha," Ashina muttered in shock.Her gaze ran from him to Gael before her chest and she gasped out in shock. "What is happening here?" She blurted out.She needed to know what was happening. Hrolf stood upright and walked back to the bed holding Gael close to himself. "Why were you still asleep by this time? Can't you see how late it is?" Hrolf asked.Ashina took a look at the wall clock and stared at Hrolf in shock. She never knew she had slept that far. "Alpha Hrolf, I am sorry, I was tired and…." "You keep making excuses, petty excuses when it isn't needed," Hrolf said to her. He was glad that she had forgotten about what had happened earlier on."I will be going to bed, take good care of Gael, I do not want to hear any story from you," Hrolf said. Ashina nodded her head at him. Hrolf kissed Gael on the forehead before walking away. He turned to look at Ashina who was staring at him innocently. Her huge orbs stared at him piercing through him and he remembered what the white
Hrolf stared at the dagger while scrutinizing the symbol which was on it. It had the crest of the Sussex pack on it and he clinched on the handle of the dagger. He was hurt. He was. What had prompted all of this? "You were ordered to kill me?" Hrolf growled at the girl who kept shaking her head. " I wasn't ordered to kill you, I would never do that, I wouldn't, please listen to what I have to say," she pleaded. Hrolf stared at her with disappointment. "You lie still," he said to her with a smirk on his lips. He was enraged but he was trying to keep his cool. He couldn't afford to let it slide, he had been lenient enough and now everyone must pay. Anyone who made him angry would pay. The girl averted her gaze to the ground with tears streaming down her eyes."How did this happen?" She wondered. She had mapped out the plan properly.Hrolf wasn't supposed to be here. She had prepared to flee through the window if she heard him approaching but she couldn't. She hadn't heard him approa
Ashina walked as fast as she could down the hallway leading to the dungeon. She couldn't forget how pitiful Orwella looked while she was being taken away. She needed to know what had prompted her to be here. She half ran and half walked in the hallway hoping she could at least catch up with them. "You should be careful when running, young lady," a young man cautioned her. She frowned slightly as he gripped her arm tightly. "I am Gasper," he introduced himself.Ashina muttered a word of insult at the man who had introduced himself as Gasper inwardly. She had somewhere to be and he was interrupting her. She inhaled and exhaled deeply before turning to stare at the man who had introduced himself as Gasper. Her heart missed a beat as she stared into those gray eyes of his. "Ashina," she introduced herself with her mouth still agape. "Ashina, Ashina, why does your name seem familiar?" Gasper asked. He shook his head while trying to recall where he had heard the name from. "I am Gael's
