Bryan drove his car at full speed and he was sure that he broke all the traffic rules. He was sure of it as he drove to his house and once he reached his house; he ran inside.
The servants who were there looked at him worriedly as well as he ran upstairs to a room, once inside the room he saw a man who looked just like him, like an exact copy, lying on the bed clutching his chest and groaning with pain.
"Aaron!" Bryan said as he rushed to Aaron and got on the bed, hiding his identical twin brother in his arms, Aaron was breathing heavily and was in so much pain that his mind blocked out everything.
Aaron was not able to hear Bryan, and neither he was able to feel Bryan's warm embrace, Bryan held him tightly and closed his eyes, "it will be okay, it will be okay." Bryan said and after some time Aaron stopped groaning. His face was covered with sweat and his eyes were heavy as he looked at Bryan.
"Bryan..."
Bryan was trembling as he squeezed his eyes shut, he seemed to be in pain a lot of pain. However he didn't dare to make a single sound as he hugged his brother.
"Bryan..." Aaron called out to him again and this time Bryan opened his eyes, and they looked so tired before he smiled to hide his pain, Bryan gulped, and before he spoke his voice came out as heavy and weak, "are you alright?"
Aaron nodded, "yeah I feel much better, you can let go."
Bryan slowly let Aaron go before he touched his forehead and said, "you are having a fever."
Aaron closed his eyes as he was breathing heavily, "it's not a new thing. You don't have to rush back home every damn time I get sick."
Bryan looked at him with a smile, "don't talk nonsense of course I have to come back to the only family I have when he is sick."
Aaron looked at him and smiled, however, it was weak, "you can't keep this up forever."
Brya did not reply to this and looked back at a maid who bought a tub with cold water and a towel, Bryan properly sat on the bed and put the cold wet towel on Aaron's head.
"You will be fine Aaron." Bryan said, "one day..."
"That day will never come to Bryan," Aaron said with a stiff voice as he stared at the ceiling and Bryan said nothing. After that, he just took another towel and wiped Aaron's hands and neck, and then face.
After Aaron's fever went down, Bryan held his hand tightly as he sat beside him.
"I will heal you Aaron." that was what Bryan thought.
~~~
Ashley waited and waited but Bryan did not come back. She waited for five hours before Bryan's secretary told her that Bryan won't be coming back.
So she sighed and decided to go back to her pack.
However, she had actually forgotten that today the alpha of those five packs would be coming to meet her as well, so when she reached home she was informed about it, Rafael.
"I will meet them after I take a bath and eat something," Ashley said to Rafael, who smiled and nodded.
And Ashley took her time to get ready. After all she was sad and heartbroken today and didn't feel like doing anything.
So she spent a good time in the bathtub.
While the five alphas were slowly losing their temper.
"Where is she!" one of them said he could not take it anymore.
There were two female alphas as well and one of them whose name was Carol, "what kind of behavior is this? We are alphas as well. How can she make us wait!"
The other female alpha name Mia spoke as well, "We are her guests, and when an alpha visits as a guest, isn't it a common courtesy to give them priority?"
Alpha Aval also stood up with rage, "that's it I am so done with this behavior."
At the same time, the door opened and two women walked in with some food and drinks and placed it before them, "please eat something. Our alpha will be here anytime."
Aval was so angry that he kicked the table and the food and drinks fell to the ground while the women gasped, "we have been hearing this shit over and over again, is she even here! If she is not, then just tell us we don't have to waste for that bitch!"
One of the maids clenched her fist and yelled back, "hey! don't you dare to say anything insulting about our alpha?"
The other also added, "yes! you lowly alphas the fact that you expect someone like her to give you priority is funny! The fact that she is even allowing filth like you in her pack should be enough for you to be grateful!"
Aval was so mad that he grabbed the collar of that maid and slapped her and the other alphas also stood up and glared at the two maids with so much anger that they were going to rip them to shreds.
"How dare a lowly bitch talk to me like that?!" Aval said and walked towards the maid and they stood up and glared at them with not an ounce of fear in their eyes and that made the alpha's even angrier.
Alpha demands respect and submissiveness and these maids who didn't even hold a rank in the pack were defying him and even dare to insult him.
"I will kill you!" Aval said and was about to grab the maid by the hair again however this time before he can even touch the maid his hand was grabbed by someone else who was none other Ashley glared at Aval and the other alphas stepped back.
Ashley just smirked and crushed Aval's hand, making him scream with agony before throwing him out of the window literally out of the room, and saying, "Aval Black smith your pack is the enemy of Gealach's Ahren starting today! You dared to harm one of my pack members and I won't spare you!"
Aval's face paled, and the other alphas shivered while the maids and Rafael smirked.
"Now let's talk," Ashley said once she settled down on the sofa with a sigh as she sat on the sofa. Her mood was still very bad because Bryan had left her and she was not able to contact him. Yeah being stood up by her dear mate really made her mad and angry and frustrated. Ashley was used to getting whatever she wanted without putting in any effort. She was a damn princess after all the true alpha treated her like a god for all her life And now she has to work hard for a damn human. A human who was her mate. The other alphas sighed as they were about to sit down. However, Ashely glared at them, "I do not remember asking you all to sit down." The four of them stopped in the middle and looked at her while she picked an apple and rubbed it against her clothes before she looked at them with her sharp eyes that were glaring daggers at them and making them feel that she was the boss, she was the superior. Her aura was that o
Rafael did as he was told, and he was glad to put those people in their places. It was about time that they all figured out who they were messing with. And after Ashley was done dealing with those people, she went back to her room and started working a little. She had asked her mother to give her files and books so that she can learn about business. Ashely actually had basic knowledge about business but it was all theoretical knowledge and nothing practical, so she had to get some experience before she can surpass Sophy and reach to her mother's level. However, she was still very pissed at Bryan for leaving her all alone, was it revenge on her for now showing up yesterday even if it was, she was pissed? She a true blood alpha, was being stood up by a human! How humiliating, but this human was not an ordinary human. This damn human was her mate. The next morning Bryan checked up on his brother, Aaron looked fine now and he was sleeping peacefully. Bryan looked at his phone angri
Bryan was pissed like really pissed. If only he can find a way to save Aaron and free him from the agony that he was experiencing. If only he can heal Aaron he would have done that. He would have gotten rid of this pest a long time ago. Killed her and ripped her to shreds. He sat on the table with his head in his hands, all of his ways are blocked. It seemed he needs to find a way to cure Aaron and kill this bitch. But how? Till now Bryan had tried everything in his power to help Aaron. Ashley was in her seat working on the files that Bryan had sent her. She nearly cried when she saw all the work, it was so much work! She had her head in her hands as she stared at the files. If only she had made an effort in her last life. It’s not like she wasn’t understanding anything, it was just her laziness taking over and she was trying very hard to get rid of it. She was already feeling sleepy as she stared at the files. But she cracked her fingers and finally started to work and j
Ashley knocked on Bryan’s office door and heard a stern, “come in.” from inside.So she walked inside the room and saw Bryan sitting on his seat going through the files and doing work.Bryan gave her a glance and looked back down, Ashley pressed her lips together. When will the day come when her mate will only have eyes for her?She sighed internally and went ahead, her mate’s ignorance was really hurting her, “Mr. Shaw, I have done everything you had asked me to.”She said and Bryan looked at her and said, “alright keep the files here and then you can leave.”Ashley smiled and nodded, she kept the file on the table before walking out of the room but not before giving a glance to Bryan.And her sharp noticed that something was wrong.Bryan’s shoulders were stiff, and he looked really tensed and worried.She clenched her fist as she was tempted to ask Bryan what was wrong.She wished that she can help Bryan with whatever was going on with him,However, she couldn’t and she hated that.
“Council’s notice huh.”Ashley said as she leaned back in her seat with a cup of red wine in her hand and Rafael and Amber sitting there as well in front of her.The third in command, Jason, was there as well.Amber said, “it has been a while since the council has made contact with us, when dad was alive, the council often came to us for help.”Ashley took a sip from her wine, “of course, they would because dad was a kind soul who was always ready to help them no matter what.Whenever they want wherever they want.”Rafael said, ‘but they stopped ever since the previous Alpha died and you were never active so-”“So they thought that I was of no use,” Ashley spoke.Amber spoke,” the news of what you have done with those five packs has reached everywhere just as you wanted.”Ashley smiled, “that’s good then.”Rafael smiled and said, “people are talking about you, you really messed up those packs and their alphas’ the other packs and coven who were looking down at us are behaving now.I h
After the meeting was over Rafael was walking back to his room and was about to prepare a letter.Now that Ashley had pointed it out he also noticed that the council really treated the pack like their lap dog.He also remembered that before Ashley’s father had died he had agreed to protect several other packs and coven but he died before that and the covens were attacked and the council blamed it on Ashley’s father’s death.Rafael clenched his fist.Now that he thinks the council is actually stupid, people run after it because it is considered prestigious and all-powerful and whatnot.But in reality, the council depended on Ashley’s father for many things.And the reason why the council was considered so powerful was that it’s competitors that being the royal pure-blood alpha, refused to fight for power.So Ashley’s this move will show the council who needs who.This may invite conflict but this has to be doneRafael smiled as he thought about this. Ashley had really changed.“Rafael.
“We have a meeting today.” Bryan said to Ashley, “and I think you should attend it.”Ashley gave him a nod, “I will, but may I know what is the meeting about?”Bryan looked at her and smiled, “Well the meeting is important and it is with a client.”Ashley gave him a nod and walked ahead.The meeting was boring as always.But Ashley was paying attention to every detail, she saw the client who was an old bald man.Bryan had told her about him, he was a senior and highly respected person to be around and Bryan was trying hard to get a deal with him. His name was Vlad Nelson.Everyone was seated there and Sophy and her team were not there since they were not needed there.Ashley was here just to observe. Just to learn some things.But she felt someone’s gaze on her, and she turned to look at Vlad, the old man was staring at her.Ashley glared back at him.Vlad was looking at her with lust and sensuous gaze while Ashley was looking at him with anger and disgust.She was not someone who was
“ASHLEY!” Ava yelled as she barged into Ashley’s room.Ava looked mad, really mad, her eyes were red with rage and the way she yelled Ashley’s name almost the entire pack heard that.“What is it?” Ashley spoke to her, she still wasn’t calm and was still angry so her voice came out as rather cold and stern and Ava hated that Ashley was talking to her in such a ride way so she started to yell at her.“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU! HOW CAN YOU BEHAVE LIKE THAT WITH BRYAN! DO YOU KNOW HOW ANGRY HE WAS!I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR SUCH A CALM AND COMPOSED HUMAN TALKING LIKE THAT! HE TOLD YOU THAT THE CLIENT WAS IMPORTANT AND YET YOU FOUGHT WITH HIM!”Ashley sighed, “Will you just listen to me?”“SHUT UP! ARE YOU STILL GOING TO GIVE EXCUSES TO ME! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EMBARASSED I WAS?!! WHY DO YOU LOVE TO MAKE ME FEEL SO ASHAMED WHY DO YOU MAKE MY LIFE SO TOUGH ASHLEY!I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE GOING TO CHANGE BUT NO YOU ARE STILL THE SAME OLD LITTLE BRAT! IT WAS MY FAULT THT I EVEN TRIED T
