Ashley's POVI stood looking at a disaster unfolding before me, my gaze fixed on the scene even as terror roiled in my stomach. “What happened after that?" I gasped, my voice trembling, barely level.David's eyes pierced me where I stood, his cold and cutting stare. "They did a DNA test, Ashley. The test results were...the boy was Liam's and not Jayden's."I stopped him with a hand held out, palm facing him. "Wait," I told him, voice calm, although my mind reeled under the impact of it.David's grin wavered, and he leaned back slightly. "A lot happened while you were away, huh?"I didn't speak, my body acting independently as I jumped up and began pacing back and forth in the room, scratching my boots on the wood. Back and forth, back and forth, fighting to get it."Let me get this straight," I said, halting and glaring into David's eyes. "Jayden thought the boy was his heir, but he was his brother Liam's son?"David nodded, relaxing into his stance as he clasped his arms over his che

Ashley’s POVTwo days had passed, and the Oakwood Pack slowly returned to its normal routine. The fear caused by Liam’s threats had eased away. I continued my usual checkups with Zane and the rest of the pack members, feeling more connected to them each day. I was finally starting to feel like part of the family.As time moved on, my excitement for the mating ceremony only grew. One afternoon, as I stood in front of the mirror, I quietly planned my next move after bonding with Jayden. I was going to return to the human world and speak to John. But first, I’d get a DNA test done on the kids to prove who their real father was.I knew John wouldn’t accept this plan easily, but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. What I felt for Jayden was far stronger than anything I had with him, and that was what truly mattered.“Time to get ready for tonight,” I said to myself as I left the room. I could feel the excitement in the air and the energy of the pack flowing through me.While walking down t

Ashley’s POVI inhaled deeply, my chest tight with nerves. I had to be smart about this, but I was set on finding out the truth. Glancing at the door, I remembered the maid would be back soon. I didn’t have much time to act.The room was silent except for the sound of my breathing. Everything felt still, like the world was holding its breath, waiting for me to make a move. I exhaled slowly, trying to gather courage for what I was about to do.In one swift decision, I chose to go after those strangers, using the window as my escape.It was definitely a reckless choice, one I’d later struggle to believe I actually made, but it happened.Peeking out of the window, I realized just how high up I was. The height almost pushed me to pull back. The ground seemed far away, and my heart jumped as I looked down.But I didn’t let fear stop me. I pushed it aside, grabbed the edges of the window frame, and began to climb out, using the wall for grip.As soon as I was outside, the weight of what I’d

Ashley’s POV“Where have you been, Ashley?” Jayden asked as he moved away from Ella and came over to me. I didn’t waste time as I ran straight to him.“Jayden… David…” I tried to say, but Zane’s voice in the background kept drawing my attention away.“Tonight, we celebrate the joining of two strong and loyal mates. Two who have passed through storms and trials...”“David...” I said again. “He needs your help!!” I managed to force out with urgency.“My help? What do you mean by that?” Jayden asked, looking right into my eyes with a sharp gaze.My lips parted to say more, but my eyes moved past Jayden’s shoulder and landed on Zane. I frowned, confused by how strange he looked. His posture was shaky, and his hands trembled visibly.“...Two who have passed through storms and trials,” he repeated, his speech slurred and unclear. His bright eyes were now dull, and a strange look took over his face.“What’s going on with David?” Jayden asked, walking toward me slowly. “I haven’t seen him aro

Ashley’s POV“Fall back!” he yelled to his warriors, quickly spinning around and rushing toward the door. His men ran after him, panic and fear plain on their faces. The sudden arrival of Zane’s fighters had flipped the battle completely, and Liam knew there was no way he could win now.As they dashed out of the hall, the rest of the pack let out sighs of relief. The chaos had faded, and everything grew quiet again. Jayden stood upright, his chest rising and falling fast from the exertion, his eyes glued to the door.But deep down, he knew there was a bigger problem. His people were dying!“Ashley!!” he called, turning around and coming toward me. I lifted my face to meet his gaze.“Gather the number of the fallen and submit the report to the Council by tomorrow,” he instructed, his look firm and unwavering.The Council? I instantly recalled how badly things had gone the last time I stood before them. Still, I gave him a nod.“I’ll handle it, Jayden… Alpha Jayden,” I said softly, real
