Ahs Shelby And Bestie Novels & Stories

Selyna’s POV I got Ashe home, teleporting us directly into Ashe’s bedroom. I guide them to their bed and help them slide their shoes and suit jacket off. “Do you want to talk, love?” Ashe shakes their head and I prepare for a long night of silently trying to soothe someone who won’t speak. I unbuckle the straps on my shoes and slide them off, curling into my best friend’s back as we lay on their bed together. “He’s too sweet,” they sob. “Too sweet and too kind, so accepting and I don’t think I can be everything he wants or needs.”

Beth replied hesitantly. “Good. That’s good.” Beth and I exchanged looks. “On the hot male matrix,” Ashley continued, almost as though she was talking to herself, “his doctor status bumps him up a few steps… which then again, makes him that much more likely to be an a&&hole… but who cares if he makes it worth your while.” She turned back to Beth. “So, Beth, I ask again, why aren’t you humping him?” Beth’s jaw dropped. She wasn’t used to Ashley.

“Would you come with me to get the things? I’d feel better not doing it alone.” She says with a small smile and I nod my head, smiling at her. “I would love to. I have tomorrow free, so if we get the list early, we have all day to go shopping. .” I say and her smile widens. “Great. Thank you.” We continue talking, nothing heavy, just plans, routines, Aiden explaining in great detail why dinosaurs are superior to all animals. Then Scott suddenly clears his throat. “Asher called today.” He says quietly and my fork pauses midair.

Owen explained quickly while pointing at me. "It wasn't me. It was Owen's group!" I couldn't allow myself to be wrongly accused just like that. This time, I definitely wasn't going to take the fall again. Just as Owen continued to shift the blame, a loud "click" drew everyone's attention. A female student, Kaley Homby, was taking photos with her phone. When she realized we had noticed her, she bit her lip in fright. Owen's eyes lit up with joy when he saw her.

“But the bond is the oldest cage of all.” The room trembled. A new presence pressed down on everything—heavy, ancient, not Hollow King, not tracker, not Selah. The Moon. Even here, inside the bond, it arrived like gravity. A voice—not in my ears, but in my bones—spoke once, low and vast: ASHBOUND. The word shook the nursery walls. Selah’s smile faltered. The shadow inside Kieran went still. Kieran’s blue eyes widened in desperate hope. “Aria,” he whispered. “It’s you. It’s calling you.”

For a while afterward, Rachel and I crafted excuses, claiming we had our periods to avoid being intimate. Perhaps because they still intended to use us—or perhaps out of lingering guilt—Robbie and Ned played the role of attentive husbands. When Scarlett came calling, the four of us were tending the vegetable patch together. Robbie was carefully tucking back the loose strands of my hair, while Ned, grinning, fanned the sweat from Rachel's brow. The moment Scarlett saw this scene, the smile on her face froze. Fortunately, both men quickly jumped to their feet and stepped away from us, and only then did her expression smooth back into place.

He glanced up and motioned her in. “What’s with him?” she asked, jerking her head over her shoulder in Ash’s direction. “He’s been weird lately.” Brock gave her one of those puzzled male looks that suggested he didn’t have a clue what she was talking about. She rolled her eyes. Ash had been walking around in a fog, which wasn’t typical. He was usually on top of everything and everyone. Celia had overheard Shelby talking about a falling out with a girlfriend, but then she hadn’t even known Ash had been seeing anyone. Not that he would have confided in her.

All Benita knew how to do best was shop for the most expensive brands of clothes, accessories, and shoes. What shocked Anthony the most was seeing Lerisa with Remy. His blood boiled as he questioned himself, "Didn't I warn Lerisa not to date Remy? Is that why she quit working for my company?" Anthony continued watching Lerisa and Remy, who were walking together, as it seemed Remy had brought Lerisa shopping. Anthony quickly looked away as they walked up to enter the same shopping complex Benita had entered. Anthony stared at Lerisa's back as she finally walked into the feminine shopping boutique with Remy, who was hugging her slim, curvy waist.

Asher hissed. Asher is my best friend, and he is like a brother to me, but I swear he does not get sarcasm. Nash said that with so much sarcasm you could practically see the puddle of it on the damn floor. I still had a fair amount of adrenaline flowing through my veins. I am not sure how we deal with this. Between Kaleb and his ADD and Asher with his damn tism, as the girls call it, not to mention that he also has ADD it is like living with two five year olds sometimes. How these two function and help run a damn pack on a daily basis is beyond me.

" I smiled back. "Only the boys call me Cbug. My Dad calls me Celly Bug, the boys shortened it." I scooted closer and sat down. I inhaled deeply, reveling in Celia's scent. Ashley climbed into my lap and smiled up at me. Kyle turned and looked at me intently, "Ashley is my favorite. She is going to be my best friend forever." Ashley smiled and said, "Yes Kyle. Besties forever!" She turned to me and said, "Kyle is going to be my mate when we grow up."
