Lahat ng Kabanata ng My mate at summer camp : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

ASHLEY'S POV I walked all round camp and was left in awe by the groups of princes practicing all manner of skill in preparation for the competition. Their circles from the outside looked impenetrable. The princes also displayed tremendous skill, from speed to strength to their ability to morph partially into their wolves and control things with their minds. As a princess, none of these was anything I had to do. I was taught courtesy and how to make visitors feel extremely welcome. My father's skills had always amazed me, but I assumed he was born with them as a superior breed, nothing prepared me for how intensely they had to train to be called Alphas. ‘If ever there's a time to leave, Ashley, now is,’ I thought to myself. I stood at the door of my apartment and was a little hesitant. I took one more look at the camp’s scope that was within my sight range. ‘Goodbye, royal academy,’ I whispered. My plan was simple –go in, pack up and return to tell the commander that I could no long

XAVIER'S POV I couldn't stand how much Vance was around him, always protecting him. Time and again, I convinced myself that I didn't care, but I couldn't wipe from my memory the good times we shared. Every time I tried to talk to Asher, Vance would not let me get in more than two sentences. “Dad?” I was just about to give up hope when they walked past me, but his father showed up. Asher did not seem very excited by his father's presence, but his excitement was a little less disturbing as compared to his father walking right past him, like he wasn't standing there. “Aren't you going to talk to him?” I asked Asher, after his father walked by, but Asher, without a word, dashed to his apartment. I was greatly confused. I knew about the rumors of Asher being adopted, but it still didn't justify his father acting like he was non-existent in public. If not for anything else, he was out here representing the entire Crystal pack and he was doing a great job at it. He rose from the last on

ASHLEY'S POV My heart was racing. I knew my world was going to come crashing and my lie be exposed, but when it didn't in the first few weeks, I got overly comfortable. I found a way to spend time with Vance without losing it close to him and only a few days before leaving camp, it all came down. My father and I had been arguing since he found out I was here as Asher and the argument did not stop. “What do you mean you told him everything?” He yelled in my face. I was too worried about Vance to be invested in my father's query, but I couldn't help the thoughts that ran through my mind about how we got here. I had never heard my father yell, but it seemed from the night he announced my wedding to a stranger to now, it had become our new normal. “He found some things and quite frankly, I couldn't bear to lie to him anymore,” I told my father, avoiding his eyes that were blazing red with fury. “You've come this far, Ash. You came this far,” he drove his words with emphasis, “Only b

ASHLEY'S POV “Vance,” I pushed the door and searched every little corner of the room that was there to search, but Vance was neither heard nor seen. I searched everywhere for him, yelling his name as I strolled every area of camp, but got no positive feedback. We only had a few hours to leave camp. The night was to crown me leader and first thing in the morning, we were all to dispatch to our various packs. “Not again!” I said in a voice tone slightly above a whisper and collapsed into the bed. My mind went straight to when he disappeared after taking my strikes. “Asher, we only have a few minutes to be there,” I heard a loud call from the other side of the door. Suddenly, I had become a very big deal. Everyone had a reason to talk to me, or was desperately looking for one. The stories circulating the camp was the rise of the smallest, most feeble Alpha Prince to top of the board. I showered and stared at all the things I had to put on–the disguise. ‘For how much further will I n

ASHLEY'S POV “You sent for me, father,” I said, walking to him very sluggishly. “I did. Seat!” I rolled my eyes at his response. I already knew how this was going to end, or I thought I did. It was either another meeting, or another public appearance. “Your coronation is in six weeks,” my father began. I nodded affirmatively, “and as promised, you have a mate,” for a second, I thought I misheard, but I remained quiet, “The good thing about being first female Alpha, is that you get your pick of mates,” his statement pinched my heart. ‘So being the first female Alpha isn't good enough?’ I thought. “There were a lot of interested persons, but I managed to streamline your options to these two,” he made a gesture with his hand and the big doors immediately flung open. I was forced out of my seat with my jaw dropping to my waistline, when Xavier and Vance walked into the room. “They are the most credible, and the closest in ranking…”“Excuse me,” I dashed out of the room, while my fa
