Asher“Do you need anything Alpha Bl- Alpha Blackwell?”I looked up to see Ambrose's stare. How had I gotten here?‘Ah right.’ I thought to myself as I remembered everything. The pain and regret. The drinking. Wandering around empty hallways.And now I was here.Ambrose for the first time didn't look indifferent. Instead, his expression clearly showed his confusion and worry.It didn't matter to me when all I felt was numb.I trailed away from his gaze to the side, where an empty desk sat.I had never found the time to remove it. At first, it was because I was too embroiled with Ariezel to do so, but after what had happened, I had hidden myself away, blind to every struggle but my own.The place was evidently dusty, the sheen of dust standing against the dark wood the desk was made of. Any papers or files were non-existent, though the stationery stayed.The image of Ariezel there materialized in my mind. On the rare occasions before my travels, I would pass by Ambrose for a mundane ta

AsherMy heart could have stopped at that moment and I wouldn’t have cared. All the particles in the air felt like they had frozen, and they might as well have with the sight I saw.I stood dumbstruck at the sight of her figure for the first time in weeks. She sat down beneath a shade, little children all around her and a book in her hand.She looked beautiful.The vision of her brought me back to our time in the gardens, the time I dreamed of.Her long red hair, flowing in curls and waves as she laughed, eyes brighter than the sky, cheeks rosy with her flesh as she looked at me.I stepped forward towards that vision, the urge to embrace it, to take her into my arms and never let go overwhelmed me.But then the haze of her past had left me and I faced the present with startling contrast.She was thinner. It wasn’t the sickeningly, sallow thin I had first seen on her that brought rage to my doorstep, but it was something. She looked smaller, and I didn’t know how to feel about her.T

Ariezel“what?” I sputtered out.I processed his words slowly, a wave of incredulity coming upon me.It was already a shock to hear him appear out of nowhere. But now what he said was even worse.Asher looked pleadingly at me“it is the truth Ariezel.” he said “You were adopted by him when you were very little.”He took a step forward “Just think about it. Did you two share any similar features? Did he ever let you see your mother’s face?I swallowed the lump that grew in my throat, looking down to the green grass.‘No.’ I had never questioned how different he looked from me with dark hair and brown eyes, the same way I never questioned why I never played with anybody but Derek, nor met any of my fellow pack members. I had justified it in light of my treatment, panning it up to gaining my mother’s features.He had never shown me any of my mothers pictures. I remembered when I was younger, anytime I asked for her pictures or what she was like, he always gave me a look that chilled my

AriezelHe flinched at my words, and I took the opportunity to push him away.He stumbled like a leaf, and I finally realized how different he looked.Asher was thinner than I had ever seen him. His cheeks were slightly gaunt and his beard more unkempt. I didn't realize how different he was until now. That was when I noticed something else.From the air, I realized I could smell the harsh sting of alcohol coming from his breath.He shook his head as he moved towards me, but I took steps back. I wasn't going to be so weak for him anymore.“Ariezel-” he tried to talk to me, but I couldn't bear it.“Leave. You're drunk." I said, making me leave.His hands stopped mine and I turned back to him.“You of all people know that a little alcohol can't make me drunk." He said.The images it brought to my head made me flush. One of the days where he brought wine for us to drink together, I had teased him over being lightweight. That night, he finished most of the entire bottle and carried me away

Ariezel“Let's start with the day you left, shall we?” I asked.He was obviously shocked at my newfound confidence. The way I approached him rather than retreated. This time I wasn't going to retreat. I was going to give him exactly what he wanted.“That was where it all began. She took me straight from Alys, and do you know what she said?” I asked, answering the question moments later.“That now I was under her control. Now, she was going to make me pay.”The sardonic smile never left my lips as I looked at his face.“Are you familiar with wax burns? Oh, they hurt, like one is truly being scalded with fire for a moment. But then it cools down, hardening within your skin, pinching every bit of the burns you suffered and you figure out it's much worse.”“I went through that, every single day." I said.“What about my room? Did you ever wonder why that room was empty? Why were none of my belongings were there? Did you ever wonder where I slept for the past few months?”The regret became

Asher Crunch. Crunch.One foot after the other. I wandered the area I called my pack without direction.The sky's orange hues were slowly turning a night blue hue. It might have been a blessing that nobody was in sight as I walked. I couldn't bear seeing another person within my turmoil.Every memory of Ariezel's words replayed in my mind. What Serena had made her do, the injuries she suffered, the suffering I had ignored.The moment I remembered that day, self loathing filled me to the brim. How could I not have seen her suffering? Why had I not helped her then?She had faced humiliation, faced Serena's sadistic act in the forest to protect her friends. How could I have ever believed that she would ever be involved in my parents murder. How was I foolish enough to ever think of her as capable of any wicked act?But I was foolish wasn't I? I had let Serena back into my life despite knowing of her own actions. She was capable of such cruelty, and still I let her into my life. She had

AriezelI woke up to the sound of birds chirping and an exhaustion that hadn't fully gone away.My first few moments of waking up was bliss, stretching without a care in the world, oblivious to the reasons for the strange feeling in my belly.It wasn't meant to last however, as in no time the memories came rushing in. The sunlight I woke up to dulled into its morning glow, and I stared listlessly at my room wall that faced me.It was a light green, like an apple. I had chosen it due to its color I loved. When my friends had asked me back then I had told them that it was my favorite color- something I never had the freedom of having before I came to this pack. The green reminded me of the forest I had crossed in my escape. It reminded me of life, of hope. I told them all of that sincerely.A part of me wasn't fully honest then, because as I looked at the wall now, all I saw were the broken glistening eyes of my mate.‘No. Not my mate.’ I inwardly shook my head to reject. There was far

AriezelAfter that day, Alys became even more withdrawn. Despite her claims to not accept him and to be unaffected by meeting Ambrose, she completely looked even more miserable as time went on.Harriet and I eyed her as she came in, looking worn. Her eyes bore dark shadows that weren't there before from lack of sleep. Most times, Harriet and I constantly made brews for her to take to ensure her a night's rest, and too often tried to convince her to rest. It was only a few times that she accepted either.Now, she looked so worn out. Her brunette hair that was normally packed in a bun was let down revealing the length. And was now also haggard with tiny hairs sticking out.“Food is ready.” Harriet said tentatively. Only the day before she had dyed her hair again a more natural raven black that framed her face perfectly. Yet now, the color seemed to further accentuate the anxiousness in her expression as she looked at Alys.Passing my glance back out to the brunette, I felt nothing but sy

Ariezel “Look out there! It's a pretty bird!"I looked in command, spotting the bird Camilla spoke of.Rubbing her hair gently, I shifted my gaze to face her.“Yes. It is a lovely bird." I said, smiling at her giggle.She turned back, her red curls bouncing along with her.She was the youngest out of the two of my half sisters, nine years old, although she continuously argues that she was turning ten.After getting to know Florian, he introduced me to both of them with joy. Although for now they only saw me as an aunt and the future Luna, in spite of our resemblance.It hadn't taken long for her to grow used to me, although Jolene, the older one, was more reserved.I turned to look at her in the hall we were staying in. She lounged in a chair, short blonde tresses resting on the couch as she read a book. She was the sole outlier out of us, and she was mostly quiet, always analyzing whenever I was present.It was okay, I didn't mind staying for as long as it took for her to get used t

143: AriezelIn the end, Alys and Harriet left us alone in the room. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages.I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. It seemed more like a dream as I looked at him over.I felt him doing the same to me, awe and surprise written over his face.But we couldn't stay in silence for long. Not as it stretched to the point of awkwardness. Finally regaining a bit of my senses, I parted my lips to speak.“Hello." Both our voices chorused.I blinked in surprise. As it seemed we had both spoken at the same time.The single word seemed to sway through the tension that was presented. I cracked my lips in a small smile.“Please sit down." I said, gesturing to the chair which Alys once sat in.I was sure Alys must have been grilling Harriet by now. After all, she hadn't kept this from just me but from her as well.I waved the thought away easily. Alys and Harriet were the last thing on my mind as he sat down.It was even more uncan

Ariezel“So one of the members said that she insulted her butt, so the other- her name was…Amber I think? Proceeded to shiver her own butt in my face just for comparison.”My stomach hurt badly solely from the amount of times I laughed. It was so difficult to catch my breath from the words Alys was saying.Thankfully, she waited till I was done before she spoke again.“In the end," Alys sighed despondently “The fight turned into a butt comparing contest with people as the audience and I being the judge. All I could think of at the moment was that this wasn't what I had prepared for."I howled again in laughter, the humor of her deadpan words further aggravated by the resigned, almost haunted look on her face. In my laughter I vaguely heard Alys laughter follow as minutes passed.My breaths heaving for air I looked at Alys to find an amused look on her face.“I glad that my misery could make you a little bit happy.” she said.I shook my head quickly in response .“I'm so sorry." I apo

AriezelI was weightless, swimming in darkness without a care in the world. It felt like there was nothing holding me back. It might as well have been true.Like wisps of smoke, memories and voices came to me, only to fade away the moment I tried reaching out for them. In the end, I remained floating.I didn't know how much time I had spent, but soon, everything began to fade. The weightless darkness I floated in materialized until a firmament grew below, carrying me. The weightless darkness faded into something else. Something more material.Like a disk, I was drawn out of my water and the peaceful darkness, into something more material.And slowly but surely, I opened my heavy eyelids to see blinding light.It took me time to adjust, squinting and blinking against the harsh brightness. Once I finally did, all my other senses came back.A soft but firm surface below me, the scent of comfort that wafted over and ceiling I felt familiar in.Where was I?My memories then came back and

AsherI focused on her, taking her hand in mine in spite of everything in me that resisted.“Hello Serena." I said in a gratingly low voice, looking into her eyes.She sighed, looking awestruck as she looked at me.She, just like all the others who had once fought and scrambled to force me to mate with them, only saw what I was from the outside. A ruthless alpha and a powerful one.There was only one who didn't.Thoughts hammered in my head, coaxing me to go back and fix what I had done. I stayed firm however and brought the blonde woman closer.It was only a matter of time.“Let's go inside Serena.” coaxing her away, I led her inside, eyeing the rest of her guards who moved away, paving the path for us.Together, we moved through the forest with her and I at the forefront whilst the rest of my soldiers and hers followed from behind. Our arms were linked as we walked while she spoke ravingly. She kept on rambling about how she knew that I was going to come back to her and all her :sac

Ariezel My breath caught as those words reverberated through my brain long after they had gone.‘What?'My heart stuttered the moment I heard them, confusion filling my senses as I looked at him.It wasn't an illusion. Those were the words that came out of his mouth.‘Why?’What was he thinking? Why would he say that?I tried to look at him, praying that he would look at me and tell me that it was a hoax or something. Anything.But he kept his eyes away, focusing on Serena.“Asher." I cried out. I struggled against their grip, uncaring at that moment. It was only when I felt the threatening cool metal pressing against me in warning that I stopped.I didn't stop looking at him however, hoping that my call would finally make him focus on me.To my relief, it did.When he looked at me, I didn't expect to see his gaze so cold and shuttered.I was thrown aback by the sudden stare. This wasn't my Asher. The distance in his stare reminded me of back then, when he suddenly left me.My blood t

Ariezel “Relax. He'll be back in no time.” Alys said.I smiled at her in turn, yet I couldn't focus properly.Under the protection of soldiers within my room, Alys and Harriet stayed to keep me company throughout. Hours had passed, yet with no news, we stayed in place with more worries than not.Alys had left the hospital and held the same worried gaze in spite of her constant assurance. It was especially more of a necessity for her considering that Ambrose had gone along with Asher. Now we were both waiting and hoping that all went well for the sake of our mates.“I…I actually have something to tell you guys." Harriet spoke hesitantly.I was grateful for any distraction that could take away the churning anxiety.I had never expected what she would say next.“I found my mate."My jaw dropped.“Oh my…oh Goddess." Alys was the first to move forward, taking Harriet's hands in hers.“That's so good. I'm happy for you.” Alys gushed out.I knew that in spite of her carefree attitude, she

Asher The night was still, without so much as a cricket sound.My gaze swept the place. As I had expected, the security was lax.‘How foolish of them.’We had left the pack by evening, marching and moving until we hid close to the border of the Pack.When I told Ariezel of the sped up plans, she was worried, kissing me goodbye on the forehead.“Be safe." She whispered.My heart skipped a beat for her, knowing that she was out of my reach, filling me with anxiety.But there was no reason for me to be so worried about her this time. I had placed several guards under her to watch.Now? It was already midnight. We had trailed the path, waiting inconspicuously for hours. Whether or not Derek was here, at least I would be able to finish off one thing.It was soon time. My instincts were on overdrive, pumped with adrenaline. I could feel the weight of the celrescent moon above us.They wouldn't see this coming.I rose my hand to signal them all.This was the same thing they had done to us.

Asher “199…200.” I grunted out, pushing my body up.Only a day was left before the attack was launched. Until them, I had to continuously put myself in prime condition for certain victory.That involved constantly working out day by day, straining myself to the limits within the span of time I had.My days had only been limited to those two things; training and Ariezel. I wasn't shy to say that the majority of my time was spent with Ariezel, whether it was from taking walks with her to watching over her in the nights till early in the morning. I remained constantly by her side.Nothing was going to happen overnight, much less after two days. She was still reeling from my acceptance and remained hesitant. My heart still ached as she woke up with nightmares.But unlike before, she never faked a smile like before. She spoke openly about her nightmares before she slipped back into sleep. Even when she stiffened at the mention of her condition, whenever I was there, she relaxed. This tim
