Semua Bab After I Died, My Ex-mate Beg for My Mercy: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Were you the girl who came to me weeks ago? The girl with the blood rot disease?”I chewed on my bottom lip, staring down at my fingers.“Ashley,”Breathing in and out, I stared back at him. There was no use hiding it from him. He had already guessed. Besides, he was the only person in a position to help me with my disease.So, I saw no reason why I shouldn't be confessing to him right away.“I am,” I murmured, taking a peek at him. He didn't look shocked; perhaps he was already when he guessed, and the shock factor had worn off.“I had to give my blood to my sister to fight off the effects of the wolfsbane in her system. Only my blood is compatible with hers.” So the doctor said,“Is her condition that grave that you need to go to that extreme measure for her? It's been months now, and as a doctor, I don't think werewolves can last that long under the effect of wolfsbane.” Kael said.My brows furrowed. He was right, but each time I saw Maria, she was always pale and lying on the bed

JASONThe pack house arena was full with barely any space left for members to be seated as I saw from where I was seated, more members kept pouring in.I didn't care one bit about the people coming into the arena and I couldn't care less if they had anywhere to sit or not. My focus was on Ashley who was standing inside the arena.She should be on her knees right now, pleading with me to rethink my decision. At least, that was what I thought she'd be doing, instead, she hadn't pleaded with me or even spared me a glance after when our eyes locked for the first time since her arrival.“I believe there's something going on between Kael and Ashley because it's not normal for both of them to be that close. Also, don't you think they're standing a little bit too close for comfort?” Maria whispered.She was sitting beside me.I looked at where Ashley was and truly, Kael was there. When did he arrive without me noticing? I must have been too lost in thoughts.He leaned into Ashley, his lips cl

ASHLEYA marriage proposal? Who the hell makes such an announcement without flinching?From what I gathered during their conversation, his name was Zane. And he was the only son of the neighbouring pack house alpha.Also, his purpose here today wasn't just to watch the event but to discuss alliances—through marriage, I guess—because he had proposed that. Without even a second thought, he seemed overly serious about it.“A marriage proposal?” Jason snorted, taking the words right out of my thoughts. His voice was filled with disdain, and I was trash that no one in the first place should even consider. “It's appalling you'd stoop so low, and I thought you had great taste. Besides, I don't think she's a fit for you. Her status is too low to be your mate. You should go for someone a little higher.”Why was he speaking for me? It wasn't as if I had intended to accept the proposal to begin with.“I think whoever wins her will be lucky, regardless of her status.” He answered, then he turned

ASHLEYThe afternoon sun burned low in the sky, casting long shadows over the flower field. Gold-tipped grass swayed between patches of wild heather and foxglove.The flower field was one of the largest areas in the Black River pack house. It contained a special spot for a burial ground, marked only by blooms, especially for fallen pack house members. In addition, medicinal herbs and blooms could be found here, used in the clinic, and sold to others. This was one of the main legitimate sources of income of the pack house, as the flowers were used for different purposes.Amongst other things, the flower field provided a secret meeting place for lovers, as there were hidden spots.“What are you thinking about?”I jolted as Zane touched my shoulder.“I'm sorry, I was lost in thought,” I apologized, wincing while reminding myself to be attentive since I wasn't alone.“You don't need to apologize,” he offered me a brief smile, and the silence continued.Until he broke it again.“I have a

ASHLEY“Maria,” my father called as she continued to scream like her precious candy had been taken away from her.I thought she wouldn't stop because I believed she was about to set the candle down and began to yank on her hair to make her tears come out more.Since that would make her feel pain and enable her to cry freely.“Father,” her lips wobbled as she turned to him, and more tears streamed down her cheeks.“Tell us what happened.” He said.Heaving a breath, she turned to me, her eyes burning with anger and hatred. Her free hand, which wasn't holding the candle, balled into fists, and she marched towards me.“You dirty lying whore!”My father pulled her back before she could get to me. I knew that wasn't to save me from the onslaught of attack she was about to unleash on me, but that was to hear speak because they still seemed incredibly confused.“S-she, Ashley,” Maria trembled violently, the candle almost falling out of her hand.My mother took it from her and rubbed her back
