Asher is the book where it all truly began for me, and I cannot thank all of you enough for reading. Through the high's and low's, so many of you have remained by my side as I've improved and navigated my way through the world I created. I couldn't have gotten this far without all of you. The comments of encouragement and even the one's with constructive criticism have helped me immensely. I hope to see all of you again, but perhaps in a different world, with different characters. Violet and Hael, whose intertwined past has left them both scarred and in the dark. Lilac and Nox, where revenge and love make war in a wounded heart.
I can tell you the exact moment my life began to fall apart. The moment where everything came tumbling down and I no longer knew what my place was in the world. The familiar instantly became foreign and I was left with nowhere to go.It all started when my boyfriend had found his mate.
I didn't stop running until I was deep into the forest, my lungs burning from being deprived of oxygen.My wolf, Maya, was furious.
The drive back to my old pack was only five hours. While I remembered Tyler finding his mate like it was yesterday, the run to my grandma's house had been hazy."You ran five hours?" I asked Maya, somewhat shocked.
I woke to the sound of banging. Startled from my sleep, I jumped out of bed just in time for my bedroom door to open."sh*t Lola, what're you still doing here?" My Dad exclaimed, his eyes darting around at my restless appearance.
I stayed on the couch wallowing in my pain until the smell of dinner lifted my spirits. My grandma was cooking again and as much as my Dad protested I could tell he had missed her cooking.We sat around the table eating dinner and exchanging stories. Dad wanted to know all about what I had gotten into while I was gone.
I gulped the fresh air and let the breeze cool my heated skin."What the hell was that about?" Maya murmured, referring to my uncontrollable body parts.
I rolled over in bed with a sleepy moan. I was having the most wonderful dream that involved several under dressed men, one of which may or may not have resembled Alpha Asher. I didn't care about the details.My eyes fluttered open and a my sleepy yawn filled the air. That had been the best night of sleep I had in a long while.
I walked down the street, wondering if the smirk I had was permanently etched onto my face. At least Alpha Asher now knew that I acted this way all of the time.Even with a new Alpha in charge, things in this small town remained the same. Only a handful of people had actually changed. Unfortunately, none of the assholes had changed.
