I looked at my screen, letting out a sigh. “What does Asher want now?” I said aloud, standing from the beanbag chair, and headed out the door.
As I came out the patio door, I found Asher already there, seated on the chair. He stood when he heard the door shut. “You came,” He muttered with a slight smile.
I lifted a brow. “Why am I here, Asher?” I questioned, perplexed. He pointed to the chair for me to sit. When I moved to the couch, he sat in the chair across from me.
He took a breath. “I will tell you what I can,” He said.
I stared at him with narrowed eyes. “Fine, spill,” I replied, cr
We stood in the hall waiting for the principal to tell us who is missing, and in my head, I’m praying it’s not Asher. “Please, if you have any information about Asher Beckner’s whereabouts, come to the office immediately. Thank you and have a good day” The intercom went silent.Instantly my hand went to my chest while my breathing became heavy and heart palpitations began. My entire body burned as if they threw me into hell itself. “AH!” I screamed so intensely the entire school turned their attention on me, and my voice echoed the halls as the pain rushed through my senses, and I shook, falling to the floor.Stephanie and Elaina hurried to my side. “Paisley, what is happening?” They asked.“Call my mom,” I said with my teeth chattering together, and
I woke up super early to the bustling of caterers and pack members organizing the dining room. I walked in to see Finn and Eric bringing in all the chairs. Eric turned to me. “Morning Paisley,” He said, giving me an excited smile, and I returned it with a slight one.“Morning guys, have you seen my dad?” I asked, and they both pointed across the room where I spotted him talking with someone. “Thanks,” I muttered and trailed past them to my father’s side.Eric has been like that creepy Uncle you avoided at all family functions. I think he had a thing for my mom. Since I look like her, he has a thing for me, which creeped me out a bit, but I also feel sorry for him since he never found his mate, which I could be in the same situation, so I’m sympathetic.As I approached
I am still in pain on the floor, and the voice I hear I’ve realized it’s in my head. For a moment, I thought I’m crazy, but then I remembered my mom telling me that when you go through the phase, your wolf will speak to you in a mind-link. “How are you talking to me already? I’m not eighteen yet.” I asked my wolf.She hummed with excitement. Like she has been waiting to tell me forever. “You are mated, but when he left, your pains started from his absence.” She told me. I sat on the floor perplexed, but before I could ask more questions, my mom and dad rushed to my side.“Paisley!” They both shouted with frantic looks as they kneeled next to me. My mother wrapped her arms ar
I stood there with my mouth gaped open in surprise. “What do you mean Asher accepted the Alpha position in Cody?” I asked, facing Asher with anxiety building in the pit of my stomach at the thought of him leaving again.Asher stared at me blankly, which showed he was not ready to tell me about this news just yet. “I have not accepted the title yet. I told them I needed time to talk with you,” He explained while he glared towards his father and brought his glance back to me, reaching for my hand, but I pulled away.“Why would you even consider accepting it? This is your pack and has been your home since you were born. Why would you choose a pack you barely know?” I questioned showing my resentment.He placed the palm of his hand on my rosy cheek. “Please, can we talk about th
AsherThe ball was in full swing, and I had talked to my mother, telling her what happened. She forgave me easily and made me promise never to do it again.Chloe came over with a smile. “I always knew,” She said, pulling me into a hug as she pulled back. “Congratulations,” She added.Eliana ran over, out of breath. “Hey, where is Paisley? I have been calling her and texting for over an hour, and no answer,” She explained, concern in her tone.I narrowed my eyes, confused. “She was outside on the patio. I know she has her phone. That seems odd that she wouldn’t answer,” I replied, searching the crowd but no sign of her.Chloe searched the room for Malachi when she spotted him near the bar talkin
After trying for an hour, I gave up on calling my wolf. I slumped down on the floor, placing my head in my hands when the floor upstairs creaked. The steps moved quickly, and the sound disappeared, but then the door clicked, and I jumped. What am I going to do?I had no time to react because the door swung open, and a large man about 7 feet tall walked in sporting a douchebag smirk.I hurried to my feet because I had no chance of fighting him off on the floor. He came towards me. “Stop! stay away from me, you goofy-looking bastard!” I shouted. He obviously took offense to the bastard or goofy looking, not sure which offended him more, but that was not important right now.The man rushed at me. I tried to run, but there was no escape. He grabbed me by the ha
After dinner, Zade walked me back to the room. I was still in shock from what Nico told me. This man is sick. He was my dad’s age and wanted to keep a seventeen-year-old for his pleasure. Ugh, gross. I gagged.When we came to the door, Zade opened it, and I just stood there. “Well, go in,” he said, annoyed.I faced him and rolled my eyes. “You know your boss is a child molester?” I asked, and he narrowed his eyes.“And?” He laughed.“That doesn’t bother you?” I countered.Zade shrugged. “Not my business. He pays me to keep my mouth shut and do my job.”
I locked myself in the restroom, hoping Zade would leave me alone, but he stayed there for hours. I didn’t understand why he would care if I am mad or think he was a monster. He was the right-hand man to a mafia douche bag.“Come on, Pais, unlock the door,” Zade begged.“GO AWAY!” I shouted back. “And you don’t get to give me a nickname,” I added.“Nope, not going anywhere, and I can do this all day,” He returned.I rolled my eyes, clearly tired of his games. “Don’t you have someone else to torture like people that owe you money or something?” I asked, annoyed.I heard him chuckle through the door. “Nah, Nico had some business to attend to and
