Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Alex

“What is the problem?” I asked Ashley who has been looking like she was pissed off by someone while I was away.

Since I came into the room, she has been folding herself up on one side of the bed sulking.

Two packs under my command have been invaded with their alphas killed, my men and I have been making preparations on how to go there and restore peace.

It's been a very hectic day for me and honestly coming back to see her in such a moody state is not exactly how I picture my evening to end.

“Ashley you need to talk to me, please,” I said calmly as I moved closer to her side of the bed and squatted so she can see my face.

The room was dimly lighted, but enough to see that despite the duvet part of her body, she was already in her baby pink silky nightwear.

I love how she makes the nightie look so good and sexy.

“Why is she staying here with us?” She asked coldly.

I blinked my eyelids as I tried to think about who she was talking about as I was honestly blank about reality at that moment.

“Who are you talking about,” I asked after trying to ransack my juggled-up brain.

“I am talking about Your mistress, your ex-girlfriend that you deliberately told to come to live with us just because you feel I'm not good enough for you,” she vented out in anger.

“My mistress? Are we talking about Janet?” I asked, surprised at her outburst.

“I'm glad you remember her now,” she said sighing.

“Ashley, why do you want to do this to yourself,  why do you belittle yourself in this manner. Do you honestly think that I will pick a whore over you?” I said calmly, wishing she could understand from the tone of my voice just how much I adore her.

“You tell me, you were the one that went to her on our first night as mate,”

“And I said I was sorry about that, I honestly am, I know what I did is irrevocable, but can we at least try to move past it,”

“She needs to leave,” she said bluntly.

“Ok, she will, but can you at least be patient till I come back from my trip?” I said.

My words seem to fix her angry mood immediately as she sits on the to look at me. I knew my words would come as a surprise especially since we have never had any prior discussion of me traveling.

“You are traveling?” she questioned furrowing her brows together.

“Yes, thank you for asking why I came back late,” I said as I stood up from where I have been squatting to sit on the bed.

“Where are you going, is it a peaceful trip or you are going to fight?” she asked with her voice laced in concern.

“It's a bit of both, we are going to restore peace to two of the packs under my command, in other to do that, we have to fight off the rogue packs that are currently running the affairs of the pack,” I said to her tiredly.

Before now I have never really been scared of going into any battle, but now I have my reservations and it mostly has to do with Ashley.

I don't know how I would feel should anything happen to her. I love her so much and yet she does not even have a clue.

“I am coming with you,” she said, making attempts to stand up from the bed.

“No, you are not. I can't risk having you with me, it's going to be dangerous out there, I will be going with Jessica, she is trained in battle,”

“Will you be alright?” She asked, I can see fear and uncertainty in her eyes.

She has every right to be scared, rogues are very difficult to fight, especially when they come in a pack.

They fight with nothing to lose.

I used to be like that, but not anymore, if I fight now it's only because I want to stay alive for my Ashley.

“With your blessings, I will be,” I said standing up to go meet her where she stood.

“When are you leaving,” she asked folding her hands across her chest.

“Three days,” I said to her.

I wrapped my hands around her for a warm cuddle and I could feel my wolf going crazy with desire.

“Ashley,” I called out gently

“Yes,”

“I love you,” I said in a whisper to her ears, while my hands toured her backline.

There was a rush of emotion going through my veins just by holding her. I knew it would be difficult to sleep by her side through this night and not fucking mate her.

I could tell she was also ready for me as I could scent her arousal. The rod between my legs was already starting to get in the mood as I could feel it hardened with each second that passes by.

Just then there was a knock on the door, I took in deep breaths and kissed her softly on the lips before heading out to see who it was.

I opened the door and saw that it was Janet, she wasn't so happy to bring the envelope I had requested for.

I had earlier asked her to go to the hospital uptown for a general test as I was getting tired of not being able to mate Ashley.

Even though I have been told the real results of the test, I wanted her to bring it in other to test her.

The Janet that I know maybe a whore, but deep within her crazy lifestyle is a peaceful personality.

“I can't believe you asked me to do this,” she said calmly before handling the envelope and walking off before I could say something else.

“What's that?” Ashley asked directing my attention to the envelope I was holding.

“It's a result to confirm that she didn't infect me with any sort of STDs,” I said opening the envelope.

My words seem to soften Ashley's heart as she sat down calmly in the bed.

I walked to her and sat by her side, and she rested her head on my shoulders.

“Ashley, I know it's difficult what I am making you go through. I know you hate the fact that I am allowing an ex of mine to live in the same apartment with us and that is very uncomfortable for you. Especially since I allowed myself to mess up in the first place, but trust me, Janet is a very peaceful person. She may be crazy but she has a pure heart,” I said to her.

“im sorry, I just can't bear the fact that I am competing with someone over you,” she said quietly,

“You do not compete with anyone, only a stupid person would want to compete with an alpha's mate. The goddess didn't make a mistake by matching us together, because we are perfect for each other” I said to her in a sift and gentle manner that had her smiling in no time.

I could tell from her countenance that she is a bit relaxed now and not feeling threatened.

You smile beautifully, you should always keep your face this way,” I said taking her hand to place kisses on it.

“What does the result say,” she asked after some moment of silence.

“She is clean,” I said with a deep sigh of relief.

“So that means we can....”

“Only if you are ready,” I said cutting her words short.

The truth is that I was just trying to be modest, as I would do whatever it takes to get her in the mood.

“I'm not ready,” she said playfully while hiding the smile of happiness at the side of her lips.

“Well, the good thing about that is I can put you in the mood,” I said flirting with her, by touching her wet glossy lips tenderly.

“I will see how you get to do that,” she said, laughing while attempting to run away but I was quick to stop her as I folded her into my hands once more.

“What makes you think I will let you go so easily?” I mumbled to her ears while nipping on it softly.

“You are so beautiful,” I said as I took away the first layer of her nightie.

I was about to lift her out off the floor when we heard another knock on the door.

I was seriously getting pissed as I was not expecting anyone at that odd hour. I wonder who the fuck it was that was interrupting such a moment in my happily ever after.

My dick was seriously throbbing by now because it had doubled in size. At one glance anyone coming to see me could tell the state I was in before they interrupted.

What made the whole situation even worst was how Ashley was laughing at me uncontrollably, I wonder what was so funny.

She is super cute though with her cute happy face, would love to see her expression when I am deep inside her moist folds.

Knock on the door again.

I should probably just kill that person and have their soul sent to oblivion for such wrong timing.

“Please go see who is there,” I said to Ashley irritated by the whole interruption.

She noticed how pissed off I was and couldn't hide her teasing face, which resulted in her still laughing when she opened the door.

Then I heard of my favorite voices in the world, the voice I heard completely killed the mood I was in.

“Good evening ma, who are you?” Olivia questioned Ashley who was looking rather too stunned to respond to the little angel standing before her.

“Olivia,” I said coming out of the room to hug my eighth year's old niece who ran to me as soon as she heard me call her name.

“Uncle Alexander,” she screamed as she ran into my open arms with happiness.

“How is my big niece doing,” I said lifting her off the ground for a big hug.

“I am fine, I have been telling dad to allow me to come over but he refused so I sneaked out after I noticed he was sleeping,” she said proudly.

“Oh, really what time did you arrive,” I questioned as I set her back on the ground.

“This afternoon, my mom is traveling with her new boyfriend and asked me to come to spend some time with my dad,” she said excitedly.

“Oh, I see, meet Ashley. Ashley, Olivia, Derrick's daughter” I said to clear her confusion.

“Nice to meet you, Olivia,” Ashley said with a smile.

“Same here, you are very pretty, and I like you already,” Olivia said cheerfully.

“Oh thank you,” Ashley said while her cheeks turned a bit pinker.

“I am hungry, do you mind asking the maids to get me something to eat,” Olivia asked, directing her attention to me.

It's no need to ask if her father had given her anything to eat because the Derrick I know doesn't give a fuck about her.

One of the reasons he hated my dad, even more, was because my dad accepted to train Olivia to the highest level of education before his death.

He thinks my dad only accepted to do that because he felt guilty about impregnating my mother.

“Sure, what would you like to eat?” I asked her.

“Anything would do just fine,” she said happily.

“Okay, how about we go to the kitchen ourselves and see what they have left,” Ashley asked Olivia who was super excited about the offer.

“That sounds great!” she said with a wide smile plastered across her face.

As soon as Olivia saw Ashley was busy dressing dressed up to go outside, she quickly tapped me so she could whisper “ I like her” to my ears before running outside the room.

Ashley was about to go after her when I pulled her close and kissed her passionately.

“You just got saved from getting this fine ass of yours been whipped hard and nice tonight, trust me, you won't be so lucky in the morning” I whispered to her ears before letting her go.
