Semua Bab Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret: Bab 91 - Bab 98

Ashley’s P.O.V.Huffing like an offended prince, Vincenzo accused me, though the amused curl of his lips betrayed his false outrage. I let out a laugh and poked his nose with the tip of my finger.“You can’t call it spousal abuse just because I have missed your mouth. It was a genuine mistake, Your Highness.”“Mistake?”He scoffed, leaning closer.“That porridge was weaponized.”The heat in his eyes melted my heart into a puddle, captivating my attention. I found myself drawn towards him like a moth to a fire. But at that very moment, Vincenzo’s husky whisper echoed in my mind.“If this goes further, we are going to complete our mating ritual.”No!!!I couldn’t be selfish and put his life in danger only for my pleasure. My mate had a serious heart problem, and any strenuous activity could make it worse. So, I quickly composed myself and dodged his attempt to steal a kiss.“Eat!”I said, ruffling his already messy hair.“Finish your breakfast and take medicine. Then we wi

Vincenzo’s P.O.V.I swear I forgot to breathe when Carson wheeled me into the room. Gone were the sterile white walls, the cold hum of hospital machinery, and that impersonal, pungent scent of disinfectants.In their place?A soft golden glow from the fairy lights draped across the ceiling, changing the entire atmosphere with fresh roses and soft music. It didn’t look like a hospital room anymore, but a home. Our home!My jaw slacked tightly as my eyes scanned the space and then found my Luna gazing at me with a nervous hope in his eyes that I had never expected from her. She did this?She did this all for me?I blinked slowly, stunned into silence for a second too long. Carson gave me a shove forward with a chuckle.“Guess the patient is cured now, huh?”Ashley looked down as if she felt suddenly shy, then lifted her gaze to mine with a soft smile. “It’s not much. Just … an evening for us.”Not much?I looked around again, my chest tightening. After everything, war, b

Ashley’s P.O.V.The sun dipped low, casting a golden hue across the pack’s internal ground as the final ribbons were tied. The last prayer candles were placed. The entire pack moved like a tide of grief and reverence, preparing for the Moon and Honor ceremony, a sacred event to remember the fallen. And I … I wore the sorrow like silk, my face was solemn. My eyes were red, rimmed from the ‘lack of sleep’. I murmured words of respect as I moved between the grieving families, warriors, and the council members. But underneath the somber mask, my heart was dancing in glee. I was patient because of Vincenzo’s illness, suppressing my desires for the sake of his health. The moment I discovered his full recovery, the fire in my chest became unbearable. The bond was restrained and rogue, pulling me towards Vincenzo with full force, urging me to take the rejection back ASAP.If it wasn’t for the pack’s link connection and the revelation of Vincenzo’s recovery, I would never waste a sec

Ashley’s P.O.V. “T-Together?” I stuttered, my heart stumbling over its rhythm. I had dreamt of this night for long but such a start was truly uncalled-for. My cheeks burned as I barely restrained my feelings and slowly turned to face Vincenzo. “That sounds like a great idea, but …” “But what?” He cut me off impatiently. “Let me warn you, Kitten. I won’t listen to any excuses tonight. You had three days to prepare for it!” His grumpy tone brought a smile to my face. I poked his nose playfully. “I am not saying ‘no’ to anything, Vincenzo. But you said ‘like a couple.’ It crossed my mind that we are missing something.” He raised his brow, totally confused. I could feel his wolf crossing everything off his list for our special night. But it wasn’t something he had to do! This was my turn to show my love! Without wasting a second, I cleared my throat and cupped his face, my gaze locking onto his. “I, warrior Ashley Miller, of the Eastern Gardens Pack, take my rejection b
