" Excuse me?"" Let me rephrase that " Asher sighed, even to his ears his words sounded harsh. He wished he didn't have to do this, but he knew that this secret relationship couldn't continue any longer. If he wanted to keep his mate by his side, then he needed to eliminate any threats that might affect their relationship in the future. " I think it would be best for us both if we get a divorce "" Is this a joke?" Elsa was finding it very hard to believe Asher's words. She looked around the room, hoping that despite his seriousness she might see clues that might give away that all this was just a prank. " This has to be a joke. "" I assure you, this is no joke. I care about you Elsa, and I always will. But I think going our separate ways is the best option at this point. Don't worry, I plan to fully compensate you for the time we have spent together "Asher hoped the idea of her gaining a small fortune out of their separation might make things a bit easier for Elsa. But the tears we
Gaining entrance into Asher's multimillion-dollar Firm was a lot easier than she had thought. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that she was now officially a family member of his, the hefty security guards didn't stop her, and even the secretary gave her directions on where she would find Asher. She took an elevator to the top floor of the buildingAsher's office was more of an apartment than a workplace. Sure there was an expensive oak desk by the side of the room, it was right next to a ceiling of floor glass window that gave a perfect view of the city below. What caught Lisa's attention the most was how homely the space was, a TV, couch, a small kitchen, and a door which she knew must lead to a bathroom. If Lisa had paid much attention ( She had, but she would rather pretend she didn't ), she would have noticed a few belongings of her mom around the room. It was a clear indication that this was the place Elsa had spent most of her time with Asher.Speaking of the devil, Lisa glare
" No " She snapped " Don't call me that, don't ever call me that! I'm not going to ask you to not divorce my mom, you are free to do whatever you want. However, don't think that just because you do that it would mean we are ending up together. I have a boyfriend, and I'm moving in with him very soon. Hopefully, I won't have to see you as often anymore "Asher's fist clenched by his side. His grip was so tight that his blunt nails had started shaping into claws, he didn't feel the pain as they dug harshly into the soft skin of his palm. Lisa's words repeated over and over in his head, his Wolf was tearing at him and he had to do his very best to keep the wild beast at bay. " Boyfriend?" Despite the sharp tone, a smile that wasn't kind by any means made it's way across his lips. " You mean to say that you choose to be with this human?"Lisa frowned slightly at the use of the word human, but she assumed Asher was only trying to be dramatic in his approach. " Yes "" And whether I divorce
Lisa didn't go back home after leaving Asher's company. Instead, she took a taxi to Adonis's house, she would rather deal with him than her mom. Plus, in her desperation to end things with Asher, she had mentioned some bullshit about moving in with Adonis. She knew he had an apartment somewhere, but most of the time Adonis stayed in his parent's mansion. They were both into business and very often they were off on trips.This was like a second home to her, now she felt anxious being back here. She hadn't picked up Adonis's calls since they had separated earlier that day. She had already asked him to give her time to think, and thankfully she had reached a decision that would be beneficial to them all. She would stay away from Asher, if she didn't see him often then her feelings for him might fade. Besides, if she chose to live with Adonis then they would only get closer. Their relationship might actually work out after all. It took Adonis a rather long time to open the door, his anno
" What?" Lisa's words caught him off guard, he hadn't expected them. Adonis had almost been 100% sure that this whole visit was the last one they would ever have, he had expected a hasty break and then he would probably never see her again.Lisa smiled, though it didn't quite reach her eyes. " I said, I forgive you "" So easily?"" What do you mean so easily? You did say that you hadn't done it on purpose, you were drunk. And although it made me very...sad, I realized none of it was your fault. I still love you, and I want us to be together, I want this relationship to work "Her words were sincere, but Adonis felt that there was something she wasn't telling him. He should be happy that she loved him enough to give him a second chance, but there was something about all this that felt off. A dark part of his mind echoed that if Lisa really loved him as much as she claimed to do, then the forgiveness shouldn't have come so easily. He had expected her to at least take time to think thin
Asher didn't regret killing his family, he believed that they deserved it. If his father had gotten the opportunity he would have gotten rid of him as well. He remembers the feeling of pleasure he had as he watched the light fade from his father's eye, the man had tried to convince him to at least spare his mate, and he went on to say how he was the one who had planted the seed of hatred in his Luna's heart, that was what had caused her to take the drastic decision of killing Asher's mother. Asher had laughed, really, he hadn't hated his father as much as he despised his stepmother. Seeing his father doing his best to protect his mate even at the point of death, made Asher crave that connection so badly. He wanted a mate, someone who would love him with all her heart and choose him above everyone else.His hand had been dyed with his father's blood even as he shot the bullet that had ended the wretched woman's life. She hadn't even tried to run, she had remained curled up against her
The Blood Moon pack was located on the very outskirts of the city, it was in the middle of the forest which gave the pack enough freedom from civilization. They all preferred it this way since they believed that their only purpose was to serve the Moon Goddess and protect the laws she stood for. There were a total of six main packs in the world, each pack had multiple smaller ones that were under it, and they were all governed by the Lycan King.When Asher became the Alpha of his pack, the Lycan king demanded to see him. He was to be brought before the council and punished for the murders he had committed. It was forbidden for Werewolves to attack their own unless it was asked of them by the King himself, or if it was inself-defensee. Those who broke these rules were banished from their packs, they were to spend their lives living alone, away from both the human and werewolf populations. Many years ago, the Wolves who faced this punishment had come together and formed a dangerous orga
Damien's grin widened at Asher's words. The men behind him exchanged looks at the clear disrespect towards their king. Even though Asher was one of the strongest Alphas in the world, he was still under the King and so calling his Majesty by his name was like indirectly implying that they were equal. They were all expecting the King to be angry at Asher's actions, but Damien merely shrugged it off." You have such a beautiful home " Damien's gaze shifted to the building behind Asher. It was the pack house of the Blood Moon pack and the place Asher spent his time whenever he came to the pack. It was nothing compared to the grand mansions Asher owned, nor the castle Damien had lived all his life. The young king was simply trying to be polite, and that meant he was trying to leave a good first impression on Asher. Even though Damien's father was a legendary Sentinel, one of the most powerful wolves to have ever existed, Damien was nowhere compared to him. If he wasn't the Lycan King, he m
Asher delays long enough to have Lisa reconsidering her boldness. She wondered if it was too much of her asking him for sexual favours at a time like this, would he think she was a teenager being ruled by her desires? Lisa was about to appologize to him and hopefully he would forget all this. But Asher was going after her before she realized it, he hurried his head between her legs, he didn't break eye contact with her as his tongue darts out to lick her through her panties. Lisa moans, though she does her best to hold it back. She didn't want to seem desperate for him, even though she was. For nearly an hour, Asher brings her to one climax after another. His tongue worked skillfully against her clit, twirling, sucking and nibbling ontil she was yelling at the very top of her lungs. He doesn't stop even when she cums, he merely gave her a few minutes to catch her breath before diving in once again. He is like a man starved, he can't believe how much he missed the taste of his mate on
Asher signs the fucking contract and he tolerates Damien long enough ontil the king was satisfied with alliance. He offered to give them a ride back home but Asher turned it down, if possible he would like to spend some time alone with his mate. There was a lot they needed to talk about, and knowing Lisa she would probably throw a fuss about the whole situation, they needed privacy, which was why even his Beta chose to drive back on his own to give them some space.After Damien did his best to apologise to Lisa, which only got him a slap across the face by the human girl ( Asher found himself falling a bit deeper for her due to how feisty she was ), they were sent on their way. The first hour was tense, he did try to start a conversation with her to ease the air, but all he received was a one word response, or she would ignore him completely. So he decided that he was going to let her start the conversation, only then would she open up to him. Afterall there was a lot of time ahead of
" Even if I don't agree,it's not like you can do shit about it " Asher says with all the arrogance he could muster. This had Damien's eyes narrowing down on him. They both know the king wouldn't dare do anything harmful to Lisa, apart from the first time he hit her and tying her up, her had treated her just like a guest in his palace. It wasn't because of hospitality, but simply because he knew what the consequences would be if he acted rashly towards her.But still, Asher saying that he couldn't do anything now just went to prove that he thought so little of him, and he had even said it in from of the little human bitch. Damien's fist clenched by his side as thoughts of what the hell he was to do nearly sent him on edge. ' You are letting him talk to us like this?!'' Be calm Callisto, he is simply worried for the human, when he relaxes, we would have a much better conversation '' He has become too insolent 'Damien smiles, well, he couldn't argue with his wolf over that part. Ashe
Asher's gaze went from Damien's gleeful expression to Lisa's terrified gaze, and he decided that If he acted rashly now, Lisa might end up getting hurt. So he followed down his anger and gave a nod. Damien was glad to lead them to the dining room which had already been set, he had truly anticipated Asher being here.They sat down, Lisa beside Damien because the king wouldn't let her stay far, and Asher kept moderately close to him mate, yet not too close to make her feel even more uncomfortable than she already did. He felt terrible, she looked like she might pass out from fear everytime Damien addressed her or his hand brushed up against her own. Asher watched them with fist clenched under the table, he wondered about what Damien must have done to his mate to make her so damn afraid of him.Damien was the sort of bastard who liked to walk around an important topic. He knew the reason shy Asher was here, but he would rather indulge in worthless conversations than to address it. Asher
Asher didn't think there'd ever be a time he would go to the Lycan Empire. He hated that place. It was where all those who assumed they were at the top of the food chain lived. All Alphas of the powerful pack were there. Asher had received an invitation long ago to move to the Empire's capital, but he had turned it down.He hated it when others assumed that just because he was alpha to his pack, that he would become a tool to the king. Everything he was and would ever be was for himself and his pack, it had nothing to do with the Lycan King. He hated Damien almost as much as he hated his father, almost, it was a very thin line and if Asher finds out that Damien had done anything to his mate, then he was going to fuck the man up so badly.This was what he had wanted to avoid all along. He didn't want any fucking Alpha getting involved in his shit, which was why he never stayed in his pack for too long and had a different identity in the human world. But it seemed all his efforts had be
Lisa can't stop thinking. Every fucking thing makes sense now! She had always wondered why Asher had changed his mind suddenly about wanting to be with her, he had been so adamant and convinced that her mother was the love of his life, but then after what happened in the forest, it was like all that mattered to him was her. It was hard to believe, but she had seen the evidence herself and there was no denying it.As a teenager, she used to read all those cheesy online fics, a werewolf falls in love with a human, and though he faces criticism and challenges, he sticks to the woman because she is his " Mate ", specially given to him by the moon goddess. She used to find stories like that romantic, and then her stupid brain would always wonder if there was someone out there for her as well, her soulmate.She had stopped reading shit like that in High School, she'd seen the awful thing that was relationships, lovers who claimed they would always be together cheating on each other, some of
Asher is seated in his office, his phone is clenched so tightly in his hand that the screen has cracks on it. He was awaiting his Beta to report to him. Since Lisa had left yesterday, she hadn't returned. And although he knew she was probably taking some time away from him, he was worried. He had called her but her phone wasn't going, and he couldn't go back to his ex wife's house because he knew he wouldn't be welcome there. Emily had ensured to give him the cold shoulder, she had gone as far as threatening to tell the media about his cheating if he didn't stay away from her mother.Asher didn't necessarily give a fuck what the media thought of him. What did bother him was the fact that his mate would no doubt get involved in the scandal if news got out. She already blamed herself, she might just lose her mind if the world starts blaming her as well. He didn't regret what he did, he knew it was the only way to get his mate to stay with him, he hated having to hide her from
Lisa wakes up with a headache, her hands are bound to the headboard. The bed she woke up on was soft and covered with expensive bed sheets. The room is luxurious, it was the size of three average bedrooms, the ground was covered in expensive carpet, there were dark red curtains blocking out any light from filtering into the room, there was a chair by her side, a cupboard, and then two doors by the left. The room wasn't familiar to her.The memory comes back slowly to her. She remembers that weird guy, Damien, had physically assaulted her and had kidnapped her. Lisa was finding it hard to believe that someone like Damien could do something like this. And what reason would he have to do this? It's not like she had offended him in any way, apart from some sassy replies, she hadn't even been rude to him.Lisa didn't have to think for long because a few minutes after she woke up, the door of the room was pushed open and Damien came stalking in. " Ah, you are awake " He says, even though th
Lisa's heart raced as she stepped into the graveyard, her senses heightened by the eerie atmosphere. The air felt heavy with an unexplained restlessness, as if unseen eyes were watching her every move. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the silence, sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease, as if the spirits of the departed were whispering secrets in her ear. When she was younger, she used to tell her mom how she saw shadows lingering around the trees that formed a canopy above. She would often get nightmares from themAnd so her mother had stopped bringing her. No matter how much she cried and begged to be allowed to visit her dad's resting place, she was always left at home. Slowly, Even her mom stopped visiting the cemetery. Lisa thinks that her mother never quite got over her dad's death, because after his passing she had never gone through any serious relationship. One of her mom's exes had even proposed to her, but Elsa had turned him down,
