Ash X Lana 소설 & 이야기

Olivia said, feeling a mix of concern and hope for her friend. *** Luna Camilla paced back and forth in her office, the rhythmic click of her heels echoing against the cold, sleek walls. Her brow furrowed in agitation, hands clenching at her sides as she replayed Marcus’s report in her mind. "A woman. Asher was seen with a woman," she muttered under her breath, her sharp eyes flicking towards Marcus, who stood by the door, looking unusually tense. "And what else? Do we know anything about her?"

Lola asked, inserting herself into the conversation. Jax closed his eyes and tried to slow his heavy breathing. Ash peeked around his cousin and locked eyes on the naive human girl who was about to step into the unknown in a way she couldn’t imagine. “Lavina Sandon.” Her name rolled off his tongue as a soft melody. His eyes flared up as they looked back at Lola. “Jax’s ex-girlfriend,” Ash said, looking smug as Lola’s jaw dropped.

Lana's Pov The door to the lab shut behind us, cutting off the happy sounds of the boys eating. I turned on Asher immediately. My hands were shaking, and my chest felt tight. "What is wrong with you?" I whispered. I wanted to scream, but I didn't want the kids to hear. "You were going to tell them. Right there at the breakfast table, are you thinking what will happen to them?" Asher didn't look sorry. He leaned against a table and looked at me. His blue eyes were dark and full of a stubborn fire. "They have a right to know, Lana. Every second I spend acting like a stranger is a lie. I am tired of lying."

Andy clarified angrily. Ash let out a bitter laugh and he withdrew his hands from Ava’s to stand up to his feet. “In the end, it's those two you want right?.” He questioned, referring to Noah and Xena. Their present denial of him was a huge blow to Ash’s ego. He had been prepared to do anything for them. He had been ready to get rid of the children who had replaced him in their life, he had been ready to kill Noah and Xena Sanchez to have his parents back.

Elena pushed the door open. Liora sat on the edge of her bed, still in the light armor she had worn in the arena. Her nose was swollen, crusted with dried blood, one eye already purpling. She looked up as Elena entered, expression hollow. “Close the door,” Elena said. Liora obeyed without speaking. Elena crossed the room and sat beside her on the bed. For a moment neither woman spoke. “They’re calling her the Luna of Ashes,” Liora said at last, voice flat. “They’re saying she’s… something ancient. Something we can’t fight.”

Asher shakes his head and walks out of the hall. “Are you okay?” Liana’s other maid asks me. “I think I need a minute.” I say tightly. “Luna, it seems Alexa is feeling unwell.” She tells Liana. “You may go and rest.” Liana says. I say nothing and leave the hall, trying to calm myself down but I doesn’t work. I spot Asher leaning on the wall, watching me silently. “Where are you going?” “Where does it look like I’m going?” I snap. “You look like you’re on your way to do something stupid.” I say nothing but start to walk away but he grabs my arm and pulls me back to him. “Don’t do it.” “Who’s going to stop me?” Asher’s eyes don’t leave mine and I don’t look away either. My body suddenly feels

His strength surpasses theirs tenfold; a direct confrontation would be suicide. Lana has a plan for that. Have you sorted out how many men will stay to fight alongside us? I’ve put Shitta on it. He will report back with the numbers soon. Asher clicked his tongue. Good. Lana will be the one to take him on. I frowned. Is she a trained combatant?

“Cut her some slack, sis. I mean, look at who she was with. I can see why she hasn’t been home for the past two nights. He’s hot as hell, girl!” My mouth quirks at her honest assessment. With a smirk on my face, I tilt my head to the side and give her an arrogant wink. “Thank you, luv. I’m Azazel, by the way.” Her smile widens. “Oh, you’re British! Oh, Zoe, you’re a lucky girl. I’m Lana, and this is my sister Bree. And we’re both single.” She says comically as she waggles her eyebrows. The little minx is trouble. I pity the bloke who gets the brilliant idea of falling for her. He’s going to need all of the help he can get.

She quickly calmed down and realized she had made a fool of herself. Lana collected herself and said jokingly, "Sure! Don't forget to bring your money and assets and come to me." Xander was taken aback by Lana's words. Then, his gaze became intense, and he asked, "Really?" Lana laughed and said, "Of course!" Xander smiled. Lana proceeded to teach Xander everything she knew about making pasta. When the finished product came out, Xander was so shocked by its taste he was at a loss for words.

This was not the Ashley who had teased me about the hot male matrix, or who had gotten drunk and farted and laughed until she fell over. This was Luna Ashley Rivers. She was deathly calm. And out for blood.
