Ashley The next morning came quicker than I anticipated, even though I was up most of the night thinking about what Alpha Alexander told me. The question that kept bugging me was, "Why me?" He could have easily picked any other girl of his choice. There are over a thousand and one prettier girls that he could pick from, and they would be more than happy to oblige. Who would dare refuse an Alpha? A good-looking one at that. I did not just say that. Yup! It is what it is. Alpha Alexander has that look that will make you stop in your tracks at first glance. His beautiful grey eyes are like a gleam of delight. He has defined cheekbones and concrete jaws, combined with his devil may care outlook. I have a terrible feeling that this is going to end badly, they are going to find out that we lied and have me punished. I am particularly terrible at lying. What if I give myself away? I don't understand why life has to be so cruel and to think that I was starting to feel at home here. W
AlexanderThe ride to the shopping mall was very quiet; only the sound of the sweet, cool romantic songs I had on the car stereo filled our ears.Inside, the car was very cold and I had the air conditioning on. I turned to look at her from time to time. I could feel her insecurities, her trembling fingers, and her deafening silence.From one glance, you could tell she was not comfortable as she sat down like someone afraid to move or touch anything for the fear of being scolded.I wish I could assure her that she had absolutely nothing to be scared about and that I would protect her come what may. I don't know, but I do have this huge feeling that we can both fool everybody into believing that we are mates.She knows how much her very presence affects me. Her after-rainfall smell combined with the sunflower scent drives me nuts.She has the most aphrodisiac scent I have ever perceived in my life, and it's so fucking hard to concentrate on driving when all I want is to devour her innoc
Ashley Have you ever felt like something is too good to be true like you are in a beautiful dream where everything seems extraordinary and out of this world? That's exactly how I feel right now, even though I know that this arrangement between Alexander and me is fake. I still can't believe that a day will come when I will live and dress expensively. After we got home from the mall, Alex took me to his room. Well, not technically his room. There is a secret door from his room that leads to another room. The room is big, though not as big as his. There is a moderate-sized bed and a wardrobe. He said he mainly used the room in the past for just relaxation. There is no other door leading outside except through his bedroom door. According to him, he wants me to have the privacy I want, but I don't see how possible that is, as there is no bathroom in the room. There is only one bathroom, and it is in his room. So I guess I will have to always wait for him to go out before I take my ba
AshleyI woke up early the next morning with a headache, a terrible one. It had my eyes spinning, and my stomach was rumbling due to hunger. I can't seem to remember much about last night. I don't even know how I fell asleep. I sighed deeply, trying to keep my eyes open. The room was illuminated by a lamp by the bed. I can't seem to remember if I was the one that turned it on. I tried to remember what happened last night. The drinks, the chatting, and what I imagined to be kissing. I can't tell for sure if we kissed or not, as that part seems very blurry in my head. Maybe it was a dream. But damn this headache.I struggled to get up from the bed as I felt pressed and needed to use the bathroom urgently. As I walked towards the door and was about to open it, I heard someone moaning, and it was a girl's voice. I pressed my ear to the door to make certain of what I was hearing. I soon caught another voice, though it was subtle. The other voice belonged to Alex. "Mmmm!" "Yes!" "Oh, h
Jessica"You still have not told me what the problem is?" I said to Derrick, who was busy wrapping a towel around his waist.We had just finished another round of sex, and I was still seated on the bed, using a duvet to cover parts of my body.He called me earlier to tell me that Alex had come to see him with the slave girl.Which I don't see any issue with, especially since it is customary and the right move from Alex.But, before we could talk about what his worries were, we were fighting to take each other's clothes off.Sex with Derrick is not all that interesting, but it's not boring either. I will rather admit that sex is a good distraction from what's going on around me lately.He walked across to his window, looking bothered as his face drew lines that made him look way older than he was.Yes, I know I am fucking an old man, old enough to be my father. But I don't mind. I have worked hard and trained for the Luna position, and I will do whatever it takes to make sure I am the
AshleyYou can do this, you can do this, you can do this. I kept murmuring to myself as the day we have all been waiting for finally arrives. I was still packing my backpack for the trip and a little part of me was advising me to run away.It's been two weeks still since I started living with Alex and today had been set aside as the start of the initiation process.Alex has so far taught me how to defend myself, how to use a bow and arrow, and how to survive on my own should in case anything happens out there.I honestly feel I do not have what it takes to pull this through but with encouragement from Grace and Alex, I am willing to give it a try.Alex had assured me that I should not be scared of anything as his best friend would be going with me on the journey.Now that is where another of my fear creeps from, everyone here knows that Jessica wants to be Luna and that she is not happy that Alex didn't pick her for the position. How am I supposed to feel protected by someone who fe
AshleyMy face was hurting badly from the slap I just received from Jessica and hot tears gather up in my eyes. But I was quick to blink the tears away because I didn't want her to see me as a weak girl, even though, I was at that moment. I was yet to fully recover after I had donated two pints of blood at the pack's clinic yesterday night. I didn't want them to be short of the healing tonic before I return.I have not had an opportunity to do so since I started living with Alex. Grace was already out of the blood and needed to make the healing portions for a few soldiers that were attacked by rogues.Alex was always with me whenever I visited the clinic ever since I started living with him. But, yesterday he left me with Grace for some hours and that is how I was able to donate the blood.Even though Grace had kicked against it because I was going on this journey, I insisted as I was not so sure that I was going to come back to the pack alive.And secondly, someone important to me
AshleyThe rogues were super fast and if I were to give in to their super speed capability, I will be probably dead by now.But if they think they are going to get a free meal without first working for it then, they are in for a shocker.The rogues were gaining fast on me which made me start pushing my arms back and forth, jumping over fallen trees, dodging insects, and pumping my legs as fast as they could go.I guess the saying it's true that no matter how much you think you have failed, when faced with death, then the will to survive becomes even stronger.I ran and kept running till the trees passed me as flashes, and the steady galloping sound of the rogues is heard around me.It was almost as if they were everywhere.My backpack was seriously weighing me down and at some point, I wanted to take it off, but when I thought of how stranded I will be, I changed my mind and continued running with my bag still strapped to my back.I knew I had to try to get as far away from them as I
