Chapter 2: mistake 

Elena's pov

My heart seized. Completely stopped working, I froze. His voice had entirely penetrated and cut off the haze of pleasure we were in. This voice belonged to my best friend Asher. 

I had been riding on my best friend all along, I freakout I didn't know what to do.

Asher.

Asher!

I tried to wrap my head around the situation as I felt something heavy dropped in my stomach. Was it fear? Dread? Regret? I wasn't sure. 

With trembling hands I pushed myself off him. My face heated up, the sinking feeling in my stomach growing. "Oh Goddess," I muttered, tears of shame pricking the corners of my eyes. 

“This can't be happening, no I didn't sleep with my best friend. I did not just give him my first. I did not just get rammed by Asher freaking Asher. What have I done? What have i done? I caused this!” I whispered as I felt on the floor.

There was no going back now after this. The line was already blurred. My face was so hot I knew I was so beet red. 

"Ele?" Asher softly called out and his dk twitched. I felt so embarrassed I was naked in front of my best friend. 

"I'm sorry," I found my voice and clenched my eyes tightly as it came out filled with shame and regret. "I thought I was in Jason's room, it was dark . I-”

I choked up, my chest heaving as I fought the bubble of urge to cry. How humiliating. If I had just come with a touch light or my phone I would have noticed it wasn't Jason and this wouldn't have happened. 

I trembled and in the blink of an eye Asher was in front of me holding and hugging me as I cried with silent sobs. 

"Shhh it's okay Elena, I'm sorry." He lifted his hands and soothed my hair. “It's alright.” He said and kissed my head.

It was not okay. We slept together, I mistook him for my boyfriend who was his good friend. And not only that but he and Mel had a thing going on too. The line was more than blurred right now it was trashed. 

I was so fucked up.

I screwed up. 

"I didn't mean-”

I stammered sobbing and burying my face in my hands. All I wanted at that moment was for the ground to open and swallow me whole to avoid this situation. 

"I am so s-orry Asher-," I croaked out, I didn't want to lose him. I definitely didn't want this to come between us. How would I face both Maggie and Jason too? Oh my. 

I winced. Now that the haze of desire had evaporated, the pain of my muscles being pounded and used was very present. It feels like I had been rammed by a truck.  

I winced. Maggie...

How was I so stupid to not have noticed? The mango scent, only Asher would used the shampoo I made them even if he didn't like it. 

And those sounds that had fluttered beside my ear, the grunts of pleasure- was he wolf he was going to be the next alpha.

My face was so hot I scramble pulling myself off his hug picked up my clothes and started dressing.

 Asher reaches out for me, his arms wrapping around my wrist to stop me. I sucked in a breath at the burning feeling his hands left on my skin. 

I had always felt it, but tonight it was way hotter. Almost like a scorching tingling fire, I didn't know why but at this point I didn't care.

"Wait," he said, his voice hoarse. My heart rams against my chest. Don't say anything to embarrass me any further please. I didn't know what more to tell him. Tears burned my vision. 

"We don't have to say anything," his voice is a whisper in the dark, caressing me. I hated the feeling. 

"What?" I frowned, my heart kicking up a notch. 

"We don't have to let anyone know," his thumb brush against my wrist as if trying to soothe me, maybe. "This can stay between us." 

My heart leaped in my throat. Is he saying that we should pretend this never happened? Would it save our friendship and our relationships?

"Like it never happened?" I whispered, searching for his eyes but it was so dark I couldn't see anything.

 It takes a good while for him to answer.  

"Yes," he replied, his voice hoarse and thick. "Like it never happened. You thought I was Jason and I thought you were Maggie. This was a huge mistake." 

His words feel like a punch in the gut even though they were nothing but the truth. However, he was giving us a way out of this shameful incident and how could I not take it? We could

go back to how things were right? I will be able to face him tomorrow?
