Hrolf stared at Gasper with hands akimbo, he was trying as hard as he could not punch him in the face. He had stood in the door for quite some time now and had held himself trying to stop himself not to barge into the room. He had clenched his fist tightly when he had held Ashina yelped out in pain and was hoping that Gasper will have the heart to stop hurting her. "Why are you here?" He asked Gasper who had just walked out of Ashina's room with a stern look on his face. "Hrolf, are you the one?" Gasper questioned. Hrolf glanced at Gasper, wondering what he meant by what he had just said. "You told me you do not like her, you told me I was joking when I insisted that you did but now you went behind me and you asked her out didn't you? Was that the reason why you didn't want me with you?" He asked furiously.Gasper was hurt, he had believed Hrolf when Hrolf had said he had nothing to do with Ashina. He had taken his word seriously because the Hrolf he knew wasn't one to lie but yet
Ashina stared at Hrolf, shaking her head. She wasn't ready to go with him at least not now. She had heard all that Gasper had said and she knew that she was never going to give him a second chance, at least not after her new mission in the pack. She was going to make sure that Hrolf got his punishment. "Don't you have anything else to do at the moment?" She asked Hrolf who shook his head but she didn't believe what he had just said. "I do not want you to leave your work just because of me, you know that isn't the right thing to do," she said to him. Hrolf inhaled sharply, taking in deep breaths at intervals; he had a pile of work waiting for him. He had documents that needed his signature but still, he wanted to spend some time with her. "Come with me then," he said to Ashina who stood up abruptly, walking behind him. She inhaled sharply as she thought of Gasper. "Stop this," she cautioned herself. "Did you talk to me? " Hrolf questioned turning his head to look at her for a se
She walked with hastened footsteps toward the room she had been told to come to whenever she had any information to give. She tried as hard as she could to fight back the tears that threatened to drop before pushing the door open and stepping inside.Today was going to make it the second time that she was here to pass out information that she had gotten and she was loving the work with each day that passes. Although, she was hurt that Ashina still clung to Hrolf after all that she had done for him she knew it was going to be her turn soon. All she had to do was remove all the stumbling blocks before her, then she would tell Hrolf all that she had done for him and he would welcome her back with open arms.She chuckled out loud when she thought of how joyful the moment was going to be for her and Hrolf.To her, there was nothing that couldn't be solved and she was going to use whatever she had in getting all that she wanted. Cassie was just a stepping block for her soon she was going to
Cassie stared at the door wide-eyed when she heard the name that had just been called. Erik seems to be on her trail lately and it got her wondering if Hrolf was suspecting her already, her mind flashed back to the word Hrolf had whispered in her ear and it made her shiver. She couldn't risk being caught by Hrolf, Hrolf wasn't going to be lenient with her if he caught her. "How are you doing?" Erik asked, staring at the person before him. It was ironic how Hrolf had forgotten totally about her and it had him wondering if he knew that she was still in the palace. "Gamma Erik, I am okay," she answered with her gaze averted to the ground, trying as hard as possible not to meet his gaze while clutching onto the bag of coins that she had been given. "Why are you here, you aren't supposed to be here so what are you doing here?" Erik asked, staring straight at her. " Raise your head and meet my gaze," Erik ordered.She bit her lips nervously before raising her gaze to meet with Erik as h
Ashina stared at Cassie wondering what she was doing around here, if there was something that she had come to know about Cassie, it was the fact that she didn't do anything without a meaning attached to it and most of the time the result could be hurting.She frowned slightly when Hrolf refused to release her hand which he had insisted on interlocking with hers. He was beginning to annoy her with how clingy he was beginning to be but she couldn't say a word about that to him.She puffed out her lips staring straight at Cassie who looked disgusted with her but she didn't care about whatever she thought at the moment. If she could withstand the ogling of the maids whom Hrolf stared drove away, then she knew that she would be able to withstand whatever life threw her way. "Where are you coming from?" Hrolf asked Cassie, staring straight at her. Cassie bit into her lower lips wondering where this question was coming from. It wasn't like he needed her to do something at his office so why
Untainted joy was all Ashina felt when she carried Gael in her arms. She had decided to live in that moment and let him hug her tight, she had missed him so much that the thought of seeing him once more caused a ripple in her heart. She couldn't describe how she felt at the moment but she knew that she felt bliss at the moment."Mother," Gael called excitedly, running his hands on her face. He was so happy to see her and he couldn't contain the joy that he felt in his heart at the moment. "How have you been?" Ashina asked, peering into his eyes. He seemed so grown in less than two days since she had seen him last and she missed him so much. Hrolf stood in a corner watching the interaction between Gael and Ashina, he knew at that moment that he had made the right choice, he hadn't just fallen in love with the right person, he had managed to give Gael a mother who he deserves also."What are you thinking about, father?" Gael's cute voice interrupted his thoughts and he blinked several
Ashina rolled her eyes at Hrolf wondering why he was talking in such a manner, was that jealousy? She wondered."It is just friendly advice, nothing more," she answered, before walking away. Hrolf sneered at her before walking behind her. " You have better things to do than walking behind me, don't you?" Ashina asked when he stood by her side.Hrolf was so in love with her that it made her worried. She didn't know that it was possible to fall that deeply in love with someone this early and it got her a little bit worried. Hrolf was good at pretending and she was going to let him know that she was better at the game than he was. "Ashina,'' Hrolf called out again trying to get her attention, he had been trying to for a while but she seemed to be lost in her sea of thought that he had no other option than to let her be but when he wasn't getting any response from her, he had to try again. "What were you thinking about?" Hrolf asked a smirk on his lips. Ashina shook her head trying to
Ashina halted trying to walk back but her feet refused to bulge, they refused to listen to her. "You are here," Gasper said excitedly to her, making Ashina roll her eyes at him. She was here to watch Gael and not talk to him, she wasn't even expecting him here and she wondered what he was doing here. "You," he answered as though he could read her mind, making Ashina tilt her head to the side. "Me?" She pointed at herself and Gasper nodded. " You should know that you are the reason I am here, you heard what Hrolf said, didn't you?" Gasper asked. " You are the only reason I am here and I am telling you now that I wouldn't ever let you go, not in this life, not in another, you are mine and mine alone," Gasper said to her. Ashina gazed at him like he had lost his mind, Gasper was talking about her like she was some kind of property which is owned by the highest bidder and that wasn't who she was. She was Ashina, the true Alpha of the Sussex pack and she wasn't some object that would
