Lola’s P.o.v
We had finally stopped training some time in the afternoon. I was exhausted and sore, but I could tell Alpha Asher had been holding back. I’m sure he didn’t want to sap all my strength, leaving me tired and sore come tomorrow.
I swallowed any bubbling fear and strolled over to the bathtub. The water was hot against my skin, lapping at my legs hungrily. The steaming water soothed my sore muscles, and I relaxed against the other side of the bathtub.Alpha Asher wasted no time. The second my bottom hit the water; he had lunged forward.

I hadn’t won on my own, something had helped me. If I tried to picture the source, I could see smoky tendrils of darkness pulsing at the edge of the forest. They blended in with the shadows, nearly invisible to the nak*d eye. If I focused hard enough, I swore I could see them moving.
I was pulled from the packhouse, floating just outside the second-floor window. I could still see Alpha Asher and I in bed, his arm wrapped lazily around my waist.Looking down at my own hands, I noticed the shimmery and almost dream-like quality they had taken on. My skin was nearly translucent, showing the ground beneath me. I held my arms out in the air, trying to move myself to
