Scorned Ex Wife : Queen Of Ashes Novels & Stories

But what made my heart stop was the child holding her hand. Ashley. Three years old. Blonde hair like Vivian's. The daughter who should have been mine. "I'm Vivian Romano," she said, walking into my office uninvited. "Jaxon's wife." "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Romano." I kept my voice neutral. Professional. Gave nothing away. But Vivian was staring at me. Like really staring. Her face going pale. The moment stretched. Seconds felt like hours. Then she gasped.

He shouted back. “You earned nothing,” the Queen said, her voice hard. “You’re nothing but a reckless child, Asher.” She whispered coldly. “Her wolf is mine, to make the rogues unstoppable.” She said. “No,” Asher said, shaking his head. “I’ll find another way, a witch, a sorceress. You don’t get to claim it.” He said. “You’ll find death,” the Queen said. “You’re sentenced to liquid silver, Asher. You’re nothing.” She added.

She explained and Ashley smiled. “Can you hear yourself? You said your daughter’s supposed mate which means they were never meant to be.” She said and laughed. “You make me sick, you are as annoying as your fucking demon, he is tearing the castle apart and killing everyone he sees, does he think he is going ti find you that way?” The Queen scoffed and Ashley smiled. “When he finds out you are the one behind all this he is going to make you suffer and beg for your life.” “Awwwn, that is such a cute thing to say.” The Queen said sarcastically and laughed.

I sighed out, trying to seem relaxed. “What's going on, Ashley?” she finally asked. “Okay, there you go with that name again,” I faceplamed. “I thought it was a typo when you sent me that message.” Even though I tried to sound calm, I could hear the slight tremble in my voice. “Ashley Smith was Adam's ex-wife and Karen's sister,” she began. “Okay… So what does that have to do with me?” I cut in. Maybe I sounded a bit defensive. Maybe I should have let her finish. Can she tell that I'm lying?

King Edward was the chosen man that the moon goddess had given me but because of his weird rules in his pack, I had a lot of rivals in his heart. I didn't want to be like the same Ashianna who would fight just to get his attention. I wasn't the Ashianna they used to know, I'm the Alpha Queen. “Oh, now you're acting as if I'm the one who's wrong here. Ashianna, you're a woman, so isn't it a little bit disgusting you've been fucking my soon-to-be husband? It seems the Luna doesn't even teach you well.” she sarcastically said. As she mentioned my mother, my eyes turned daggers before her cheek met my palm.

“Stop worrying. They’re not going to find you.” “Oh really? It seems you don’t know how dangerous Lucas and Simon are, despite living with them. Just get to the point.” “Fine. The elders' council just passed a verdict that’s very difficult for me.” “What is it?” “They stripped me of my title as Queen, all because of that wretched Ashley.” “Who’s Ashley?” “Have you forgotten? The slave that Simon and Lucas brought into the house back then.” “Oh, the beautiful slave who threatened to take the kings away from you back then.”

Ashley looked at her hand that I had removed from mine and she glared at me the very personification of hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. "Remember that I tried this the easy way first. You will regret making an enemy out of me." Her threat was almost cute. Almost. She had forgotten who she was talking to. I was Prince Dorian of the Black Wolf Pack. I would not be threatened by her. "You forget yourself. You are a nobody, Ashly. Just the daughter of a traitor." I enjoyed seeing the slight surprise on her face. Yes, I had done my homework. I had found out exactly who I had gotten mated to.

But a force field had formed around her, the Lycan Queen and the seal, so Kailin was jolted to the other side of the room. “No!” His scream was all she heard at some point. She closed her eyes for a moment and listened. “No! Aspen! No!” With a faint smile, Aspen made peace with that moment. Then she opened her eyes, looked away from Kailin, who was rushing towards them again, and stabbed the dagger into the sparkle of dark light that left her sister’s body. That sparkle was the Lycan Queen’s spirit, and with the strength given to her by the goddess, Aspen used her dagger to end the life of the wicked Queen.

Jace said, his voice lowering slightly, “is Alan. He’s… inside Dominic’s company, our mole.” “You’ve been… assembling a team.” I whispered. “You can say that again." Rubbing his nape, he gestured at a couch for me to sit but I couldn't move my feet. “Can we get to know you?” Maren asked, tilting her head to the side. "I’m Lisa King.” I replied. "Dominic's ex wife, former owner of Starlink, heir of…” Joel was still running his mouth when Alan poked his side. "Boss said you shouldn't look her up.” He huffed only to give me an apologetic smile.

"Not here. Not like this." Ethan moved. He was across the room before he had consciously decided to move, and he stopped in front of her, between her and the door, and he was not certain what he intended to do but his body had put him there and he was not going to move. "Put it down," he said. She looked at him. Her eyes were steady and entirely unintimidated. He said it again, quieter. "Those ashes belong to my wife." The words came out of him and he heard them in the air of that room and the silence that followed them was different from all the silences that had come before it. This one had weight to it. The particular weight of something said too late and said anyway.
