Ash And Lillie Novels & Stories

“Magister, why do we let garbage through the gates? Let me throw her to the stone giant and save us the paperwork.” I ignored him, but my left hand squeezed into a tight fist. My nails pressed hard into an old, ugly scar that hid my forbidden blood seal. It kept my real, dangerous ash-magic buried deep inside me. In this empire, that kind of magic meant death. It was the same power the lost Ash King used when he nearly burned the whole world a hundred years ago. “Put your hand on the stone,” Vane ordered. I stepped forward. My boots hit the hard ground, and I felt cold eyes burning into the back of my neck.

“We just killed her right?” Kira grimaced and sent the image back to the director’s terminal. “Yeah, we did. Something’s not right with your intel.” “You sure about that?” Rodrigo asked flatly. “Her name was Lilia Baudin. I watched her head explode in my scope two years ago in Prague. Yeah, I’m pretty damn sure.” “A highly possibility that she's an Awakaned too?” Knight asked in the tense silence that followed. Kira managed to contain his flinch, but just barely.

I look down at my scruffy appearance, catching sight of my ruffled self. “You’re a star, I swear. If they left it to me alone, we’d never get going today,” Ash jokes while standing up, “-right, I’ll catch you over there soon. Say good morning to Lillie while you’re down there for me, will you? And ask if she wants to lend a hand as well. I haven’t bumped into her up here yet,” he calls out while walking away, allowing the red scar branding his shoulder to fall into view—a reminder of the sacrifice he made all those months ago.

Lily thought about not picking, but before she could even dwell on that thought, she picked up. “I have been calling your damn phone, Ash!” Hedge sounded frantic and desperate on the phone, making Lily wonder what could have happened again. With Ashley Grander, there was always something terrible lurking around. All her life, Lily had never met someone whose life was filled with so much drama, secrets, and ugly skeletons, and that was the same person that Ashley had been forced to impersonate. “What happened?” Lily asked.

I get dressed and throw my hair into a messy bun and walk back out to the loungeroom; Sharna and Lilly are sitting on the rug by the fire talking to Skyla; they look up as I say, “Go and have a shower while we wait for Xavier.” Lilly stands and takes Asher of Skyla, then looks at Sharna, “Go have your shower. I will bath Asher in the sink.” Skyla giggles as she says, “I can get one of the servants to bring a baby’s bath up for you.” Lilly smiles and replies, “No, it's alright; he can have a proper bath in the morning.” Skyla stands beside Lilly, watching as she undresses Asher. He kicks his chubby little legs once they are free from the confines of his clothes and smiles gummily at her. Skyl

Unanswered questions it seems. "Alaya, wait." I feel Asher's hand on my arm. He's wearing satin gloves. Typical, he's a male either keeping to fashion trends, or he's not looking to find his mate tonight. At least I don't think I have a Luna yet. "I don't want to hear it. I'm done. I want to go home and pretend like none of this ever happened, because I'm going to get more information doing that, then standing around you for another second. Also, I'm pretty sure this is all some strange part of my imagination, after drinking those ridiculous drinks inside. What are they made of anyway?"

the girl grumbled. Ash patted the girl's arm and said, "I'ts enough, Lyla." he said softly. Her name is Lyla. Lyla Justice. The only girl friend Ash and Gabe have. The three of them have been friends since they were both in fifth grade of Elementary School. Lyla is already considered a part of their family, just like Archie.

I said. "Indeed you are..." she yelled. "Get to work now!" She ordered. I moved over to the shelf close-by and started cleaning it. Nothing looked dirty to me in the chamber including the shelf I was cleaning, I just couldn't help but wonder if the prince was a god. "Don't mind her, she can be annoying atimes" a maiden whispered to me who was equally cleaning the shelf. I sighed "it is fine...." My eyes caught a picture sitting at the opposite side of the shelf.

“Maddie is visiting today. My father is in Baltimore for the day. He’ll be picking her up on his way back.” The little girl ran forward in a fluffy skirt made of rainbow silk. “I’m a princess.” She had a sparkly purple magic wand in her hand. Ashley watched her daughter with a smile, the first true smile he’d seen on her. It dazzled him more than it should have, so he turned to the kid. “Hi, Princess Maddie.” He scrambled for something to say. “Uh… How is Princess Lillian?” “She had a fight with Prince William. She wants to get earrings, and Prince William won’t let her. And all her friends have them already.”

She simply picked up the milkshake and took a slow sip. “Who was that guy, Lila?” Asher asked at last. Lila exhaled softly and reached across the table to gently take his hand. “I’ve agreed to be your girlfriend, Asher. I’ll try to love you as much as you say you love me,” she said, offering a quiet smile that gradually brought his own back. “But there are some things I’d like to keep to myself for now. Things like who that man was… and how I ended up here in Hemlock Lane. I hope you can understand.”
