Ashley

The next and final meeting with the representatives came all too soon. I still didn't feel ready for it, but it was necessary if I really wanted to be with Zane without any objections from the Lycan Tribe.

An odd tension still hung in the air, which we owed to the fresh death that occurred right in that very room.

Jacinta, who now sat in the chair belonging to her father, went straight for the bull’s horns. “We got reports that you were attacked at night.”

Hands on my neck, choking me to death…The memory gripped me like a vise, sucking the strength out of my bones. Pulling me lower and lower into an abyss…

“Yes, I was,” I replied simply, curling my hands into fists so that no one could see how terribly my fingers trembled.

“And where is that person now?”

“Dead.”

She lifted a brow, looking a little surprised to hear that. “By your hands?”

“You make it sound like I wasn't merely trying to defend myself. If I didn't stop him, I would have died,” I said gently, wishing that Zane w

    JaceI got fed up with being indoors all the time, and I had to bring myself to ask for assistance to be carried outdoors. The healers who had been working on me told me that my recovery was going to be slow, but I didn't expect it to be as slow as it was. It drove me crazy on some days. One of my guards stood by my side, but I pointedly ignored him and tried to get to my feet on my own. One foot. The other…My knee buckled from discuse, but luckily, I caught myself right on time against the wall. The guard jad grabbed on to my other hand. Sweat clung to the skin of his forehead, reminding me that people were indeed scared of who I was and what I had accomplished by essentially battling death.Many other packs were still unaware that I lived, and I liked it that way. I needed as little people to be aware of my existence as possible. Even the people around me were under strict orders to keep hush about me, because while many still speculated if I was still alive, many more remained f

    Ashley In the days that followed, Zane couldn't stop boasting about my achievements as a healer. Every chance he got, he expressed with so much fervour just how much he respected and adored me. To the point that even his Betas, Clara and Bryce, seemed to have gotten sick of it. “You know, the more you boast about me, the more expectations the public has for me. And I don't think I want to step into places where people already have a prior notion about who I am or what I can do,” I said to him one afternoon days after our wedding. At that point I had comfortably moved into his own wing of the villa. I gently turned him around on his seat, so that I could get better access to his hair and snip my scissors at the correct angle. Over the past couple of weeks, his hair has grown out, becoming even longer than usual, and he had been complaining about how it made him look too different. Of course, I initially objected because I had grown to love the length, but I couldn't force him to ke

    Ashley “I refuse it! This marriage cannot hold,” Thea said, walking out of her rowand stepping forward so that we all got a good view of her. Her face was red with anger, and fists were pressed to her side, her whole body entirely tight with rage. “Can all of you not see the madness in this?”“Oh yes, I do see madness, but it is neither from the groom or his bride,” Clara intervened, coming to stand between us and Thea with her arms folded. “You can return to your seat or I'll have you thrown out of here.”Thea scoffed, rolling her eyes. “Oh, you'd love that, wouldn't you? You've always been looking for a way to humiliate me, so I reckon this would be how you plan on carrying that out. But I'm not here for you, General. I'm simply voicing out my thoughts, or since when did doing that become a crime in this tribe?”Clara shook her head, remaining standing between us. “What is this nonsense, Thea? Are you merely here to disrupt this event?” asked Zane, stepping forward slightly. The h

    Ashley Peace reigned in the days leading up my coronation.Yes, coronation. What I had initially seen as merely a joining with Zane, also meant my joining with the Lycan Tribe officially. Once I took up the mantle of Queen, every other tie I had with Moonlit Silver pack would be completely broken. Every time the feeling of unease tried to creep up on me, I would squish it underneath my heel and refocus. Thoughs were powerful, and if I truly wanted to enjoy the season, I had to do so completely, and without fear.I had to be courageous.On the morning of my marriage and coronation, two servants had been assigned to get me ready for it all. One specialised in preparing my body for all that the ceremony would entail, from bathing me, to prepping my skin with the finest fragrances and creams. The other worked on my hair and makeup, filling in my lips with the reddest lip stain I'd ever set eyes upon, and piling my hair so elegantly out of my face that my neck shone as graceful as a swa

    JaceFour weeks of silence. Four weeks of painstaking work to get myself back in shape. Four weeks of having to depend on others for basic things.Torture.Lucas was away on business, carrying out the plans I had given him, and I could see his progress. Word traveled fast among us werewolves, and it was very clear that the Lycans’ discord had become even more pronounced in recent times. Music to my ears. When I finished with them, they would all understand what it meant to know only pain. Carina remained by my side, hanging on to my sleeves like a defenseless puppy. Her status had been lost the moment it was discovered that she wasn't the person in the prophecy we were looking for. She was just an unfortunate girl that didn't have a wolf. Weak.But I had to admit, she did have her uses. Her doting made things easy for me, because she was so eager to please, and desperate to remain in my good graces. She cooked, she cleaned, every single thing she felt would get me to be a little kin
