Ashley POV
The word SHE rings a bell in my head . ” She ! ” Me and my mate said together .
” You can both go now . ” I said to both ladies who came to report to me .
” Call all the officials, we have an emergency meeting . ”
I said to my twin sister, Betal and third in command which is her mate .
I helped Shiela as we proceed to my office . . .
I opened the second door that link to the conference room .
Settling Shiela on the head chair that belongs to me, I started rubbing her swollen feet .
At the same time, rubbing her body like n whole especially her feet .
” Are you okay now ? ” I asked looking into her once tired eyes .
” Yes just hungry . ” She said pouting while I stomach groaned making us laugh .
” Will you take popcorn and cola ? ” I asked and she nodded .
Placing her feet on the floor, I went to my popcorn making machine .
After making sure there is still corn in the machine, I made three popcorn .
Because I don’t know if her stomach can accommodate only 1 with the way she is eating now a days .
I went to the cola making machine and grab two cup, I poured cola into it .
” There you go, ” I said placing the popcorn and cola in front of her .
She started eating hers while I await my officials arrival . . . .
Not long, they started trooping in one by one while I pass them their own cup of cola .
” You all know why I called you here ? ” I asked moving my eyes all around them while they hummed in response .
” I was attacked when I and my mate was heading to the hospital . ”
I paused a little for them to process the information .
” In the city or where ? ” One of them asked .
” No in the woods . We were attacked by more than 200 rogues . ” I paused again .
” I summon the help of my Betal and third in command when the fight was getting out of hands . ”
” I was able to kill their leader and they all started running away . ” I said
” And you all know that the power of retreat is to chase . ” I said and the all nodded in agreement .
” We were able to chase and kill all of them before they come into the city . ”
” But, there’s this guy who said she is coming for us even if she kill all those she has sent . ”
I said making them jott down what I have just said especially my last sentence .
” Yes, that true . ” My mate added making everyone look at her .
” When I killed Max the other day, he also said the same thing . ”
” He said even if I kill him, she is coming for us . ” Elle said while everyone was awed .
” Why didn’t you tell us on Time ? I mean before now ? ” I asked looking at .
But making sure I didn’t yell at her even if I wanted to do so badly .
” I was in coma for two weeks and I woke up, I didn’t remember . ” She said .
” Why did you remember now ? ” Chief in charge of human resources asked .
” When the first and the second said she, I remember instantly . ”
She defended and the officials murmured in-between themselves .
” Now that she already said these, and it just like what I just said same as the person killing people . ”
” That means it’s a Lady that it’s killing them . ” I said and there all hummed in-between themselves .
” Due to the Dead body that was brought to the pack hospital, what’s your out come result ? ”
I asked looking at the head of doctors who was about slipping his cola but dropped it .
” They were injected with MALAGABI leaf . ”
” The same leaf that weaken our Luna and the third in command assistant which makes them on able to react fast . ”
The head of doctors explained . Which was true .
Because for the past one month, Elle was unable to summon her power until this month .
” Who uses the leaf and who make the injection ? ” I asked .
” The leaf and dark magic is usually mixed together inorder to turn it to injection . ” He answered .
” That still not answer my question ! , And how many minutes dose the fliud uses in ones body before it stops the heart ? ” I asked .
” We don’t know yet but we have sent all our questions to the chief priest . ” He answered .
” Can I answer the questions ? ” My mate asked . ” Of course yes Luna . ” They all said .
” The leaf is grown in the witches territory . ” My mate answered .
Making my head do some research in my brain about witches .
” It uses an hour before it fully kills a werewolf but those who has supernatural power will be weaken . ”
” But kills human in just 30 minutes . ” She said making me question through our mind link where she got her knowledge from .
” Who can the lady be then ? ” I asked aloud .
” Who else can it be then if not Athena ? ” My mate asked .
But I know her too well that it’s not a question but a fact and answer .
Everyone one pop the word ” why ? ” ” How ? ” Even me myself asked the question .
” Who else knows how to enter and exit this pack ? ” She asked .
” Spies can be every where . ” I answered .
” Can you hear yourself ? Spies can be every where ? ”
” Athena is a witch and she is an ex member of this pack, I mean a well respected ex member of this pack and she is a lady . ” She said .
” Who else won’t come back for revenge when she was stone chase out of this pack ? ” She asked .
I wanted to say something but she cut me off .
” Even after you have allowed her to behave like she is the Luna and your mate ! ” Elle yelled .
Her emotions is getting out of control again . I tried calming her down with my touch .
” Don’t f**king touch me ! ” She yelled running out of the conference room .
I don’t know what I can do to her changing of emotions .
I shouldn’t have taken Athena sides, I should have taken hers .
But I want her to elaborate the more so that the officials could understand .
I watch her run away while I mind link Glinda to stay with her since I need to finish this meeting .
” Sorry about what Elle did, you all know how pregnant women do . ”
I said and everyone started their congratulation Alpha, congratulation Ashley .
” Well, with what she had said . What do you think ? ” I asked .
” She is right, ” the number one official said .
” She is right, ” number two official said .
” She is right, ” the third official said .
Like that like that, everyone on the table said the same thing .
” It’s only a lady that can understand what another lady thinks . ” Aurora added .
” Meaning ? ” I asked giving her my full attention .
” With how Evil Athena is and how stoned hearted she is . ”
” She would never leave what she want or own till it fully become hers . ”
” And if she didn’t get it, she would always resolve to destroying the thing so that no one will have it since she didn’t have it . ”
Aurora said making me surprised at how wicked she could be .
Don’t you know ? When it’s that you would be f**king her how will you know ?
My wolf said making me roll my eyes .
Thank you but you don’t have to remind me ! I yelled hissing at him .
” That’s true, even when I thought she was my sister, she always act like that . ”
Stoll added rolling his eyes like a dog .
” But why don’t you correct her ? ” I asked looking from Stoll to Aurora .
” Well, I do leave her saying whenever she find her mate, she will change . ” Stoll said
” Not knowing she cannot be mated because she is not a werewolf but a witch . ” Aurora added .
” How can we catch her ? ” I spoke up when I see no one have something to add up .
” I will suggest we put guards to each entering that leads into our pack . ”
The head of warriors suggested and other nodded in agreement .
” Even if it’s desert, forest, mountains or the river side . ” Head warriors added .
” Even those enterings that have guards before should be doubled in the sum of 4 . ” my Betal said .
” So shall it be . ” I said stamping it . ” Right away Alpha . ” All the officials said and stood up .
After paying their respect, they left leaving me with Stoll .
” Ashley , ” Stoll called making me look up from the now warm cola am slipping .
” How do you know she is pregnant ? ”
He asked making me raise my eyebrows in question of what he meant .
” Not that, I thought you were going to the hospital earlier today . ” He asked and I hummed in response .
” Don’t you see how she has been eating and sleeping for the past two months now ? ” I asked .
” Even her morning sickness in unbearable again . ”
I added frowning at the memories of her having her morning sickness into my head .
” She don’t even have control over her emotions this days . ” I said .
” That’s true, I have been noticing but I don’t want to jump in conclusion that why I didn’t say anything to you . ” Stoll said .
” Can you please help me to check the heart beat of the child because we can’t go for scan today . ”
I said sitting up .
” No I can’t do that . ” He replied . ” Why ? I asked looking at him .
” It’s just two months, I can’t hear their hear their heart beat untill third month . ”
He replied and I nodded in realisation .
” Why were you shouting at your bedroom this afternoon ? ” Stoll asked .
” Where you spying on us ? ” I asked and we both started laughing .
” Hell no, who knows you were doing this and she isn’t allowing you . ” Stoll said squeezing his face .
” You are too bad minded . ” I said knocking his head .
” I was coming to tell you about the new arrivals when I heard you shouting . ”
He said rubbing the part I had knocked him .
” So what do you hear ? ” I asked looking at him .
” Nothing because I don’t want you to burn my precious soul so I left . ” He answered making me laugh .
” Well, Shiela was not accepting the fact that she is pregnant . ” I said pausing .
” I was frustrated so I lash out my anger on her . ” I said looking away from him .
” That how ladies do especially in her age . ” Stoll answered .
” How do you expect her to react when she knows there is something living and growing in her at her age ? ”
” How do you think she would react when she knows she would soon put to bed ? ”
Stoll asked making me sign .
” All you have to do is take it easy with her and understand her . ” Stoll added .
” Good night, bro, it’s almost 1am . ” Stoll said patting my back .
I stayed in the conference room thinking before I finally left for bed . . . .
Two days later
Shiela has been avoiding me . Even if she sleep besides me at night, she uses pillows to divide us .
It’s been two days and the killings of my pack members increase every day .
Without them catching that bitch called Athena .
Right now, am in a meeting with my official because of what she has been doing .
” It seems we need to involve magic . ”
I said hitting the table with my eyes turning different shades of reds, making waters boiled .

TWO YEARS AGO
Ashley POV
Shiela has been avoiding me because of me taking Athena side .
The more I explain to her the reason why I took Athena side, the more she cry .
Even if she sleep besides me at night, she uses pillows to divide us .
It’s been two days and the killings of my pack members increase every day .
The more we try, the more death increase in number of four .
Without them catching that bitch called Athena .
Right now, am in a meeting with my official because of what she has been doing .
” It seems we need to involve magic . ”
I said hitting the table with my eyes turning different shades of reds, making waters boil .
Suddenly, I heard a loud howl which belongs to no one except Shiela .
Tracing the sound, I got to know it’s coming from the garden .
We all ran there and behold, what I saw made my wolf go crazy .
” I will end you Athena today so that I can rest from ear ! ” I rored .
Shiela’s POV
I walk into the garden holding the wetting can and wetting all the flowers I come across .
Just like the way I have been doing for the past two days to avoid Ashley .
I kept humming my favorite song which is three stattion by Niki minag feat Cardib and Asian doll .
I wonder why he kept on siding that whorn of a child .
Even after I have given him my trust, heart, soul and body .
Still, I didn’t know how he prefer siding that bitch than listen to me .
After getting pregnant for him, this is what I get in return .
But did you accept that you are pregnant in the first place ? My wolf asked .
” Yes, I didn’t in the first place . But now, I know there’s something growing inside of me .
Some precious that I will bring to life and cherish like my gem .
Someone beautiful or handsome that will call me mum just like I have call mine mum .
Someone who will call Ashley dad just like he do call his .
Someone I will start having mom and daughter talk with .
Or even someone Ashley will start having dad and son talk with .
I started hearing different running steps but didn’t bother looking because it might be those children playing in the garden .
Maybe the are chasing themselves again, not until I smelt this scent I never pray to smell again .
” How many heart beat is that ? ” I heard Athena asked .
” As much as possible if you can make use of your phone, ask Google . ” I answered with my back facing he .
” I can hear three different heart beat alongside yours making it four . ”
Athena said making me shock . Am carrying three human ! ! ! I screamed in my head smiling .
” Who owns it ? ” Stoll asked making laugh at her stupidity .
” Who else if not my darling husband and mate, it’s Ashley of course . ” I said smirking .
” It can never be my Ashley ! ” She yelled near my ear .
My instinct started working making me Doge whatever it’s in her hand that she wants to use on me .
Holding her wrist, I opened her hand and found an injection .
” Ashley will never and can never be yours, he is mine and mine alone ! ! ”
I yelled twisting he hand making the injection drop to the floor .
I marched in it not once not twice making it break into pieces and the floor absolve the content .
I stepped away from her and returned to my flowers trying to cool down myself .
The wetting can I carried freezed same as the water in it .
I turned around using the already freezed wetting can to stop the arrow Athena released .
” I have always known that you love come backs . ”
I said throwing wetting can at her making it break into pieces in the process .
Fight broke out, I doged the arrows till her arrows finished .
Using ice to make barrier between us, I pushed my hands to the front .
Summoning wind, water and ice, I used all to push her off making her craah into the wall .
Thank God I did summon the three who knows if she would have fall if I used one like she did .
Flying in the air, she pulled her hands together releasing pins .
Bending, I made a barrier with my ice making the pins drop unto my feet .
She splitted herself into three making me wonder what she is about to do .
Suddenly, I heard a loud cry coming from my left side .
Turning around, I saw third Athena holding knife to one of the Park members child neck .
A small five years old girl to say . How can she kill this small child for what she didn’t have hand in ?
” Luna help ! Please help me ! I don’t want to die yet ! ” The girl screamed crying .
Every part of me shook as I attacked the third Athena ripping off it’s head .
Then I created a ice barrier keeping off all other things except me and Athena .
The second Athena charge towards me angrily with red in her eyes .
After so much battling, I finally rip off it’s head . To turn around, a knife was push into my stomach .
I let out a loud howl letting my tears fall . That’s my baby she just use knife on .
Not an ordinary knife because this knife in my stomach is draining my power .
The last thing I heard was the crashing of the barrier I made and Athena torn into pieces by my Ashley .
The last thing I said before I blacked out was: ” Ashley our babies . ”
Then I dropped to the ground with my White hair scartted around my face .
Ashley POV
I marched towards Athena with anger boiling in my body, soul, heart and brain .
All I hear is the drum of death of Athena . I tore her into pieces throwing her body part everywhere .
My mate cried out to me saying: ” Ashley our babies . ”
Before she dropped, I took her into my arms with her white hair scartted around her face .
With that, I raced down to the pack hospital begging her not to die .
” Please stay because of me, our child and your friends . ” I said into her ears .
