Asher already knew that Lisa was approaching him the moment Ethan hurried off. Her scent might be bland but it was still easily picked up by him, only because he had interacted with her a lot in the past. He turns to face the girl who is regarding him with those suspicious eyes of her's. " Are you alright? " Lisa asked him. Asher was taken aback slightly, he hadn't expected her to ask that kind of question rather he had thought she would interrogate him. She likes to do this thing where she tries to pick up every single information about him, and then she uses her mother as an excuse to cover up the fact that she has an unhealthy obsession. Asher didn't really care much about her, he could blur her into the background when necessary. He would tolerate her, much more than he had ever tolerated anyone else, but only because her mother was his Luna, so she still counted as his daughter now. If only he hadn't slept with her, he would have actively played the role of a good father to her
A Honeymoon didn't follow after the wedding. Elsa said she didn't mind, because she knew how busy Asher was, she even joked about how surprising it had been that he even showed up at the wedding at all considering his busy schedule. But Lisa knew her mom, and she could read the disappointment coming off her in waves. She didn't blame her mom for being clingy, even though the insult was right on the tip of her tongue. Who would want to miss their Honeymoon because their husband was too busy with work to take a few days off? But still, she reminded herself time and time again that none of it was her business. Besides, her mom wasn't complaining. In fact, she was barely at home, she always went off to Asher's Mansion in the city to be with him while he worked. So Lisa was at least grateful that she didn't have to deal with them very often. Now she could fully focus on her blooming relationship with Adonis. They had been on two dates already and she was actually starting to believe he mig
" What's wrong?"" Nothing "" It's not nothing when you have that look on her face " Lisa sometimes hated how easily he could read her, even when she was trying not to show her emotions. " What's on your mind? We can't fix this if you don't talk to me "" Is this a hookup for you? Or maybe friends with benefits?"" What makes you think that?"" The whole not taking clothes off thing! It feels like a hookup to me! I've been trying to get you to fucking make love to me, but every time I try you always brush me off. I don't want a hookup with you Adonis, I want this to be official. I want to be your girlfriend but that won't work if you..."" Baby, hush " He pulls her closer against him. Lisa feels herself breathing hard as she tries to control her emotions. She could feel tears burning in her eyes, and she hoped more than anything that she didn't end up breaking down in a sob. " You got it all wrong. The only reason why I didn't want us to take our clothes off was because I was afraid I
" You promised you would come " Elsa wasn't looking too happy with her husband as she glared at him over the breakfast table. She had spent the night over at his place yesterday and for the past week. Only when waking up this morning did she realize what date it was? And she felt so much guilt that it threatened to overwhelm her. She hadn't been spending enough time with her girls. Sure it was her Honeymoon and she deserved some quality time with the love of her life. But it didn't sit well with her being away from Lisa and Emily for so long. She wished Asher would come over to her house more often, the reason she had moved in with him was because she was getting vibes that he wasn't very comfortable staying with her.She wouldn't have minded if they were still dating. But they were married now and whether he liked it or not, Lisa and Emily were as much his daughters as they are hers. Spending quality time with them was the best way to build a good bond. She hoped that he would get alo
Elthon Woods was known for its breathtaking scenery, it was a tourist sight, and most of the time it was always filled with either people who came to enjoy nature and beauty, or couples who thought it was a great idea to have their first date in a forest with nothing but trees for Company. But for some reason the place was empty, Lisa just knew Asher had something to do with it. Of course, he would think he was above sharing the same thing with average people so he probably paid a lot to have it cleared up. " It's so beautiful here," Emily said, taking what felt like the thousandth picture that day. Lisa only rolled her eyes and glanced at her mom who was standing a small distance away from them with Asher. She was whispering something to him, Lisa wasn't sure what it was but seeing the urgent look on her Mother's face, she knew that Elsa was probably trying to persuade Asher to do her another favor. Asher was frowning, clearly, he didn't want to be part of any of this, which further
Lisa ran as fast as she could, at one point she thought something was chasing her, but she was too scared to look back, all she could do was run faster and hope she could get to safety before those vicious wolves sank their claws and teeth into her. Just like they might have done to Asher. Just the thought of his fate brought tears to her eyes. She found a small space between a rock where she crawled into, and now as she sat inside the small space with her arms wrapped around herself, she finally let the tears fall down her face. She felt nothing but guilt and worry for Asher. He had saved her life, and even though they had been at the point of an argument when they were attacked, he hadn't hesitated to throw his life in the Lind in order to protect her.And to think all this time she had felt nothing but hatred towards him. Sure she had wished countless times that something bad happened to him, but she never meant it. She loved him as much as her mom did. And that was what hurt her th
A wolf lunged from the side, catching Asher off guard. He felt the sting of teeth on his forearm, but adrenaline surged, allowing him to retaliate. With a swift knee to the wolf's flank, he sent it whimpering into the darkness. The battle raged on, Asher was determined to get this over with as quickly as possible. He blocked and struck with calculated precision. The wolves, sensing his resilience, began to retreat one by one. As the last wolf ran away, Asher caught his breath, a few scratches marring his skin.It was nothing serious and the injuries had already started healing. Asher gritted his teeth as he walked down the path his stepdaughter had taken, he hoped that no harm had come to her. The Rogues had clearly been too cocky to think they could handle him in such a small number. He was an Alpha of Alphas for a reason, he was revered and feared all over his pack and even the neighboring packs. He was going to find the person behind this attack and make them pay.He had to give it
Elsa and Emily had gotten worried when after nearly an hour neither Asher nor Lisa showed up. The older woman was almost tempted to go looking for them, but the thought of them having a moment together and actually getting to talk stopped her, it could be that they had just stayed back by themselves. The Woods was harmless as far as she knew and there weren't any wild animals around. Her worries grew however when her daughter finally returned, Lisa was disheveled, her hair was messy, her clothes had torn in places that had gotten caught in some thorny bushes while she was running, her eyes were red from crying and she was breathing heavily. " What happened?" Elsa asked anxiously, she looked behind Lisa but there was no sign of her beloved husband." We..we got attacked by Wolves "" What?!"" But there are no Wolves in Elthon forest " Emily chipped in, she was finding it hard to believe what her sister had said, though her appearance gave away the fact that something indeed had happe
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,
