Semua Bab Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret: Bab 91 - Bab 100

Ashley’s P.O.V.I had barely stepped into my house when Jenna’s voice sing-song from the kitchen. She was helping my mom there, but her sharp nose caught a whiff of my changed scent.“Well, well, well!Someone smells like Alpha Vincenzo in this house!”I froze, instinctively touching the side of my neck. Even though I knew there was only a bite mark there. It would turn into a visible mating mark after the mating ritual.But the wolves like Jenna! Oh, they always knew it. She walked over with a mug of coffee as I strode inside, smiling smugly.“So, did you two … you know?”She wiggled her brows suggestively, disregarding the fact that we were in the living room where literally everyone in my family could hear us clearly. I gasped, my face heating instantly.“Jenna! No!How can you even say that?Vincenzo is sick and …”My voice trailed off as my mind betrayed me, playing that kiss on repeat like a favorite scene from a forbidden movie. The way his lips moved with a desper

Ashley’s P.O.V.The sun hadn’t reached its peak, and I was already halfway through the prayer ceremony’s arrangements, working my ass off. The Moon Hall needed to be purified. The silver altar clothes had to be changed, elders needed invitations, and every ranked wolf had to be informed with just the right amount of urgency, not panic. It took me hours to finalize the venue with Luna Rose.Then I arrived at my office in the hospital, the temporary set up to work on pack matters without disturbing Vincenzo’s rest. I was scribbling a note for Gamma Carson in there when I paused, a strange feeling creeping over me. Something was definitely off!The hallway was too quiet, for the kind of chaos I usually left behind when I wasn’t around to micromanage Alpha Vincenzo’s moods. I turned around and caught one of the nurses passing by. “Hey, Ava!How is Alpha today?”Ava shifted awkwardly, her eyes darting like she had been caught red-handed doing something wrong.“Uh … fine. I thin

Ashley’s P.O.V.I barely reached the parking lot when I realized that I had left my cell phone on the side table. With a groan, I turned around and went back to Vincenzo’s room, half worried that he would have already buried it under a pile of reports and files. Only the Moon Goddess knew how many things that man could lose under the mess of paperwork!However, as I pushed open the door without knocking, a startling sight was waiting for me, throwing my world into chaos. Vincenzo was standing!Yes! Casually stretching his arms, his shirt rode slightly up as he rotated his shoulders like he hadn’t had a heart surgery a few days ago. My widened eyes darted towards Carson, who had a tab in his hand, blinking at me like a beer caught in headlights. I gasped.“What the hell is going on here?”Vincenzo flinched, but a slow, guilty smile curled up his lips, churning my stomach. I instinctively took a step back as he moved towards me.“Kitten, I can explain!”Well, I wasn’t in th

Ashley’s P.O.V.Jenna, my best friend, my sister in everything but blood, was dragged into the clearing before the stage, dropping my heart to my stomach. A chill ran down my spine as I gasped.“No! It can’t be!”She looked disheveled, her wrists bound, eyes widened, and terrified. She raised her head and looked at me with such unreadable expressions that twisted my guts. I took a step forward, grabbing Vincenzo’s arm.“What the hell is going on here?”My voice trembled with disbelief. “Why is Jenna being arrested?”Alpha turned to me slowly, the ache in his eyes almost too much to bear. “Ashley, I wanted to tell you. I truly did. But if I did that, she would have disappeared before we could confront her in front of the entire pack.”“No!!!” My lips parted in denial.“That’s my friend, Jenna. There has to be a mistake. She would never do this.”“Ashley!” Jenna’s voice cracked with emotions, loud and shaking over the stunned silence of the crowd. “You and I have spent five

Ashley’s P.O.V.The world around me disappeared as I couldn’t think straight, drunk by the warmth of my mate. His embrace was like the first rain after decades of drought, calming the yearning of my soul. Vincenzo’s arms went around me, lifting my legs. I circled my arms around his neck, balancing my weight as he shoved my legs wide open, settling them behind his back. My core throbbed with need as I raised my eyes to meet his stormy gaze. Vincenzo’s golden eyes sent ripples down my spine as he growled.“Mine!”His hand moved behind my neck and fisted my hair, forcing me to stay angled up so that my eyes stayed on him, as he began to make small, rhythmic thru*sts, rocking his steel erection against my core. The fabric of our undergarments was the only barrier against our desires.A moan rippled through me, but Vincenzo stole it before it had a chance to leave my mouth. His tongue pushed past my lips and took over, engulfing me in a passionate kiss. It was like he wanted me to forget
