Cirilla's Point Of ViewI shuffled under the warm covers for a few seconds before my eyes pulled open. I was in Asher's room, on the bed, covered by the warm sheets while little of the sun's rays stubbornly flickered in from the velvet curtains.I was up to a sitting position, running my fingers through the thickness of my long blonde hair. I had a blasting ache in my skull that almost made me groan for a second while my gaze dropped to the gray tee that I was wearing.I pulled off the covers, moving to the edge of the bed with my bare feet now touching the stainless marble floors. My eyes are still on the tee. It was unmistakably Asher's. It smells just like him. I couldn't remember at what point I had put this on last night. When I tried to recall, I was greeted by a merciless pain in my head.The bathroom door pulled open, and involuntarily my blue gaze lifted and caught Asher's, stepping out, almost naked with only a blue short cladding around his waist. It was hanging so dangerou
Cirilla's Point Of ViewIt was past noon, and my day so far has been uneventful. I didn't go to the gym today. Like Vince said, I took the day off.The morning had started with video games at the gaming parlor after breakfast with Lyra and the guys. Asher didn't return until a few hours ago. But he was currently in his office, together with Stefan, Wren, and Dorian. The men in uniform that came with him had left an hour ago.I was standing with Lyra and the guys and some pack members. I couldn't even hide my excitement seeing them back. I had no idea what mission they had gone for, but from the little conversation I had with Lyra it seemed they didn't find whatever they went in search of. I didn't press further.Rather, I buried my attention on the screen, just watching them play after I had had my ass handed to me repeatedly by Dorian and Andy during our rounds. I kept getting distracted by my thoughts.I felt uneasy. It started right from the second I woke up and Asher filled my hea
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI crashed into something hard, stumbling on the ground and taking a bite of the dust. The crowd grew quiet, and I didn't have to look to see the smile of triumph on Melinda's face.I spit out the blood that was in my mouth, feeling my sore jaw. Fuck, these wolves really do hit hard.I grabbed the metal chain next to me, getting up from the ground. My eyes narrowed on her as I wrapped the metal chain around my right fist, and I waited for her to come at me again.I breathed in, and the instant she swung her hands at me, I blocked swiftly, punching her in her ribs with my metal hands.She staggered back and composed herself before she attacked me again. I kicked her hard in the jaw, and before she got a chance to heal up, I pounced on her, pinning her to the ground while I kept smashing her face and those bloody lips of hers that wouldn't shut up earlier.She pushed off her with her nonhuman strength, causing my back to hit the ground hard.Fuck, that was cheatin
Asher's Point Of ViewI could only inhale her sweet scent until she fell asleep next to me. I pulled my eyes open, and they landed on her sleeping state.Gently, I pulled her into my arms, pulling up the sheets to cover us. My hand got lost in her long silky blonde hair and I began stroking it. She adjusted in my arms, relaxing in my warmth. It made me smile.I had had an exhausting long day and my lack of sleep for the last few days made it worse. But I felt a little bit relaxed just by being in my room, breathing in my mate's intoxicating scent.Even without being around, I could still smell her presence. It was nice. Slowly, every inch of the room had begun to carry her scent. There was so much going on. So much to deal with.It crushed me more than anything when I had informed Aunt Davi of the result of my team's search in Lakewood town, outskirts of Oregon. She had informed me there were new leads regarding the princess's whereabouts in a few places. So I sent Stefan and a few wa
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI followed him out to the parking lot, after messaging Niko. I had to raincheck on our meeting.Instead of taking his bike, we took one of the cars in the lot.I turned to him, asking. "Okay, where to?""You'll see," He drove out. We were still on the road when Asher got a call. He connected his airpods, "Joe," He said, pausing. "What?" There was silence again as he listened. His green eyes glanced at me briefly, before adding in an annoyed gruff. "I'll be there," He disconnected."Something wrong?" I asked and he nodded."Yeah,"After a few minutes, Asher pulled up in front of a station and got out. I leaned into my seat, and surprisingly, he pulled my door open."I can wait here, just go in," I looked up at his towering height."No, you won't. Come with me," He stretched a hand to me. "Please,"I sighed, taking his hand and ignoring the sparks flying.Shockingly, he didn't let go. We walked inside the station, hands linked together. Asher walked around like h
Asher's Point Of ViewI sipped from my can of beer, ignoring the sea of bodies that danced around, the loud music, the deafening gossip, and chatter that almost bled my ears, and the blazing fire that burned right in the middle of the meadow opposite the mansion. I ignored it all and focussed my undivided attention on Cirilla Bane.She was seated on one of the outstretched armchairs, right opposite me, across the meadow. Her thoughts had no doubt drifted far away, even though her eyes were glued to the burning fire. Only the goddess knew how I wished I knew what had consumed her thoughts.Abruptly, she stood up from her chair and wandered into the woods in her blue jeans shorts and white striped singlet. I gulped down the final content of my drink, and pulled up from my chair, grabbing my jacket.I left the bonfire party that was thrown in honor of Kayla and Carl before they left for New Orleans tomorrow and I trailed behind my mate into the woods, quietly. She kept walking, under th
Cirilla's Point Of ViewI was waiting for Lyra and Dorian outside the mansion the next morning. We had just had breakfast, and I was all dressed up for school. Asher, Stefan, and Wren were not coming with us, they had something else to do, after seeing Kayla and Carl off today. They were returning to New Orleans.Since morning I had been trying desperately to hide my smile, but for some reason, I was failing to. It was all because of the weird feeling in my chest called happiness. And just remembering last night makes me want to scream. I know it's crazy right? I honestly didn't get myself last night either. And it was like every feeling for Asher I had been repressing escaped in full force and I couldn't win against them. I didn't want to. I loved this feeling. And it was all because of Asher.If someone had told me I would become so addicted and crazed for a guy I had met like a month ago, I would have laughed and said, "No way in hell,"I felt Asher behind me. "I'll see you later,
Asher's Point Of ViewI held the syringe tight. "That she isn't human? Yes. They fucking knew," I answered Stef's question.At first, I thought these rogues were after her because of me. That somehow they found out she was my mate and wanted to harm her to get to me. That was usually how things like these worked. But with this syringe, it was obvious they were after her for another reason.The warriors grabbed the unconscious rogue, and we headed back home in our trucks.The prisoner was taken to the pack's cell and forced awake. I was eager to get him talking. I called for the pack's doctor and wanted to leave Cirilla with her and Lyra but she demanded she wanted to be present for the interrogation.I couldn't argue. After tonight, she made me realize she isn't one to take orders or do what she's told. And I loved that about her. It was a fucking turn on for me.I guess we both were just as crazy as the other. Imperfectly perfect.I smiled to myself. I liked that.We were at the cell,
