All Chapters of Fated bonds: Her Cure, His Regret: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Ashley’s P.O.V. As a daughter, I could understand how difficult it was to pick someone else over your father. It was impossible to put others before your parents, the ones who raised you. But Cassidy’s case was different! She caught me off guard with her swift response. “Do you really need to ask this, Ashley?” She walked slowly towards the bars, resting her hands on them. “I will pick Vincenzo over everyone every single time. This isn’t even a question.” Then she raised her brow. “You tell me, Ashley. Are you willing to trust me?” Crossing my arms over my chest, I responded coldly. “Nope! I don’t trust you at all, Cassidy.” Her brows frowned in confusion as countless question marks popped up around her head. She blurted out. “Then why?” “Because you can be beneficial for the pack.” I replied to her, stating facts. “As Alpha’s mate, I have to put aside my personal hatred and distrust to think about the pack’s welfare. And right now, Vincenzo needs help. Then

Ashley’s P.O.V.Hearing about my wolf, I looked away, the weight of her name made my chest constrict. I sighed dejectedly.“She is gone!Since I woke up after marking … She is just … not there.”My throat tightened with pain.“There’s no sign of her presence, only darkness. It’s like the bond has taken her from me, as Dr. Alex warned us.”Jenna’s expressions softened with concern. She spoke softly.“You have been through hell, Ashley. You nearly died bringing Alpha back. So, it can be nothing. Perhaps your wolf is in deep healing.”“I feel like a ghost!”My grip tightened on the pillow as I expressed my unease. “My body is too weak and I can’t walk a few steps without panting hard. There is an invisible strain on my skin, making me feel restless. And pain …”A wave of agony coursed through my body as I shuddered, biting down a whimper. “It’s unbearable.”However, Jenna disregarded my condition, clinging to her former point.“Sounds like your first heat to me, Ash. It

Ashley’s P.O.V.Luna’s eyes were filled with fear; her voice cracked in a way that shattered me. “I have been calling him. But he isn’t waking up. He isn’t …”My stomach twisted painfully. “What?”I rushed forward, heart thundering in my chest again. Fear swallowed me as a whole as I followed Dr. Alex and Luna Rose back into the room. Vincenzo was lying peacefully just as I left him earlier.His head was turned slightly towards the pillow, lashes resting against his pale cheeks, lips parted with steady breath.“Vincenzo!” I whispered, my voice rose as I moved to his side. “Alpha … Please answer me!”Dr. Alex placed his hand on my shoulder and spoke.“Step back, Ashley. Let me examine him!”He checked Vincenzo’s vitals swiftly: monitors, heartbeat, pulse, pupils’ dilation. I stood there frozen, the seconds dragging like centuries. Luna Rose clasped her hands together, begging for the goddess’s mercy. We both were desperately waiting for some good news when finally, the doctor straig

Ashley’s P.O.V.My response hung heavily in the air, creating an invisible wall between us. Vincenzo’s entire body stilled as he gasped in disbelief.“No?”The pain in his voice cut through my heart, urging me to clarify the situation. I paused, struggling to find the suitable words to convey my message. “I didn’t say never, Vincenzo. Just not yet. It’s too early.”“But why?”Alpha asked at once. His voice was laced with more confusion than hurt, but I could see countless questions rising in his eyes.“You have marked me, Ashley. You said you forgave me. Then why?Why are you not willing to take that cursed rejection back when it’s the only thing that’s keeping us apart?”He began to cough after speaking nonstop, hitching my heart to my throat. I got up and fed him water, caressing his back. “It’s not about forgiveness, Vincenzo.”I spoke softly, hoping that these words would settle the tension in his chest. But they didn’t!Vincenzo knitted his brows, his eyes observed

Vincenzo’s P.O.V.I still couldn’t believe it, even as I lay here, listening to the steady beeping of the monitor and the muffled sounds of nurses outside. My eyes refused to look away from her, Ashley, my Luna. She was adjusting the blinds now, letting in just a sliver of golden afternoon sun. Her movements were quite efficient, almost too graceful for a war-torn Alpha’s room. Her scent floated in the air, wildflowers and vanilla with a trace of pinewood, my scent had mingled with hers now. It wasn’t a dream. She had marked me!My fingers brushed the sensitive part of my neck habitually, the place her canines had touched. The mark pulsed softly with the bond, and every time I reached for it, I felt it.Goddess, she chose me!But how?I had spent so many nights believing that moment would ever come. Not after what I did. I thought she would never look at me with anything but loathing again. And now …Ashley sat beside my bed, head bent over some paperwork, brows furrowed
