Semua Bab MATED TO HER BULLY STEPBROTHERS: Bab 211 - Bab 220

ASHLEYThe scent of damp earth filled the air as I wandered through the forest. My wolf was restless. She pushed against the thin strength of my human control.I had always followed my mates around. We were seen together, especially during lunch breaks. But now, I was alone. I did not even know where they were and I did not want to know. I had felt their presence when I walked towards the cafeteria. I decided then to turn around and spend my break elsewhere.As I strolled into the forest at the back of the school, their scent grew fainter with each passing minute.My heart ached with loneliness. I missed my alpha princes, their laughter, their touch. But I knew that I had made the right decision. Their rivalry was tearing the family apart and it would soon start to affect the entire pack. I could no longer allow myself to be caught in the centre of their war.I sat on a fallen log, my eyes fixed on a huge tree in a distance. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows across th

ASHLEYI woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. My body was covered in heat, making me restless. I turned my table clock to see what time it was.I hissed, “Why am I awake by 2 am?”I stretched and rubbed the back of my hand over my eyes and yawned. Then I got off my bed and headed straight for the bathroom. Whatever this heat was about, I wasn’t going to let it ruin my sleep.I was done showering and I still felt uncomfortable. My wolf would not stop purring and writhing.When my attempt to induce sleep failed for the umpteenth time, I got off my bed and headed for the kitchen. If I laid my hand on a glass of chilled wine, I would gulp it so that sleep would come right away.This thought paraded my mind as I walked down the stairs to the living room. For some funny reason, my eyes darted to the prince’s side of the house. My heart skipped as I recalled how I ran up those stairs every minute. I thought of my unending visits to the triplets.I was either going to give them someth

JASMINEI was restless. That had become my default state lately, ever since the coach announced the unique cheer routine thing. I had tried to come up with my unique idea but my brain would not cooperate.I watched videos from different websites to get inspiration. But everything there had been performed by the club already. I got up from the balcony and walked to a spacious part of the compound.My mum had tried all she could to encourage me. Now, she just stared at me. I tried to imagine what she was thinking. She probably felt that I should give up, maybe I was not good for the club. I recall how she had reacted when I told her I had become the president of the club.“Jasmine? I'm happy for you but becoming president of the club is not the right thing to do now. Your grades are suffering! Besides, you have never liked cheer clubs. You keep complaining about the routines and how you wish you had never joined. Now this?”She was right but I wasn't one to accept defeat.I am Jasmine a

ASHLEYIt was finally the day of the unique cheer routine display and I was pumped. I was so sure of my moves, and I could bet it would be the best. I wished at that moment that I was on good terms with the triplets. I was sure that Carson would go out of his way to spend time with me and cheer me on before my performance.His kiss on my forehead would go a long way.My heart was pumping with anticipation as the performances started. I watched every display with glee. The other performances impressed me. It soon got to Jasmine's turn. I did not know exactly what to expect. When I suggested she showed me her routine, she said she had to hurry off to meet someone.I looked on with anticipation, waiting to see what she had in store. Her first move got me shifting in my seat. It was so like my first move, but I passed it off as a coincidence. Then she did the second and the third, which were almost the same as mine. I sprang up from my seat when she began her attempt on my super move.Wha

ASHLEYI waited patiently until Axel joined us outside. I knew I had to approach the issue wisely or have things blow up in my face.I was silent for the first few seconds. I just stared at them, from one to another. I could see how uncomfortable they were sitting so close.“I must say the past few days have been crazy for me. I'm losing my mind.”“How's that?” Axel asked.“I usually come home eager to see you all. I look forward to spending time with you and all those sweet things like that. But now, to be honest, I don't even want to return home.”I had no intention of playing it calm with them. I needed to let them know exactly how I felt. I clasped my hands and kept a straight face.“I have been thinking of leaving the palace. I mean, running away completely.”“What!” They all chorused.Thankfully, I had their attention. They looked shocked and confused. For the first time since we sat to talk, they exchanged glances.“Ashley, you can't talk like that. How can you leave?” Brody's
