LISA/KIARA POV

I didn't know if it was just me, but Asher had been gone for a while, and I started to think it wasn't just a bathroom break as he had mentioned earlier. Silas kept hovering around me like a nosy fly, and I couldn't help but think he was trying to prevent me from leaving.

I scanned the room, my eyes searching for Asher's familiar face, but he was nowhere to be found. I tried to shake off the feeling of unease, telling myself he was probably just stepping out for some fresh air or answering a call of nature. But as the minutes ticked by, my anxiety grew.

"Have you seen Asher?" I asked Silas, trying to keep my voice casual.

Silas shrugged, his eyes darting around the room. "He said he needed a quick break in the bathroom. I'm sure he'll be back soon."

I nodded, but the unease gnawed at me. After a while, I excused myself from the group I was chatting with and made my way through the crowds, searching for any sign of Asher. But he was nowhere to be seen.

His slow, steady breathing matched the calm of the early morning.I watched him, a swell of love and gratitude washing over me. He was perfect even in his sleep. I could feel the depth of our connection in that quiet moment. I reached out, tracing the outline of his brow. He stirred slightly and cuddled closer to my side.My lips pulled up in a smile as I continued to watch him. Carefully, I untangled myself from his embrace, trying not to disturb him. The warmth of his arms lingered as I slipped out of bed and headed to the bathroom to start my day.After washing my face and changing into a comfortable outfit, I pulled my hair into a ponytail and made my way to the door. I paused, glancing back at Asher’s still-sleeping form. He looked so serene, so untroubled. I smiled softly, feeling

    KIARA'S POVAs Asher led me through the dimly lit hallway, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. My skin prickled with unease, and I glanced over my shoulder, half-expecting to see someone lurking in the shadows. Whoever it was, they were still out there, watching me like prey.The moment we entered the room, Asher turned me around to face him, his eyes searching mine with concern. "Are you really okay?" he asked, his voice soft but insistent.I forced a smile and nodded. "I'm fine, Asher. But I swear, I saw something out there. I need you to believe me.”He nodded, his expression serious. "I believe you. I'll check the parameters and make sure everything is safe."As he turned to leave, I grabbed his arm. "Be safe, okay?"He nodded again, giving me a reassuring smile. "I will. I'll be back soon." With that, he left me alone in the room.I took a deep breath, trying to shake off the heaviness that clung to my mind. I headed to the bathroom, eager to wash away the tension. I s

    ASHER’S POVI stormed out of the pack house, my heart racing with anger and determination. I had to know what was happening to Kiara, and I knew Jonas was the key. I had my suspicions, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions just yet. I arrived at the pack prison, my presence causing the guards to scramble to attention."Welcome, Alpha!" one of the guards greeted. I nodded curtly, my eyes fixed on the cell holding my brother."Open it," I ordered. As I entered the cell, the stench of sweat and dirt hit me like a punch to the gut. Jonas looked up, his eyes sunken and hollow. He was a shadow of his former self, and for a moment, I felt a pang of regret. But it was quickly extinguished by my anger towards him. The only reason he was still breathing was because I hadn’t thought of a suitable punishment for him yet."Jonas," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "We need to talk."Jonas looked away, his silence a challenge. I took a step closer, my fists clenched. "I don't have time for y

    Asher’s POVI felt a chill run down my spine as I processed Jonas's words. Tacha, the witch who had been a thorn in our side for so long, was behind the attacks. I should have known. Her obsession with me and her desire for power were legendary."What does she want with Kiara?" I asked Jonas, my voice cold and detached.Jonas shrugged. "Like I said, she believes that by taking Kiara out of the picture, she can finally take her place beside you. She's been manipulating events from behind the scenes, using her magic to fuel Kiara's rage and make her more susceptible to attack."I growled, my anger simmering just below the surface. "And what about the blood? Why does she need Kiara's blood?"Jonas hesitated, looking around the room nervously. "I don't know, Asher. But I think it's connected to an ancient ritual. One that will grant Tacha immense power and control over the pack."I snarled, my mind racing with possibilities. I had to stop Tacha, no matter what it took. I turned to leave,

"But he has information we need. If we’re going to stop Tacha, we need to know everything he knows. I’ll make sure he doesn’t cause any more harm."Kiara shook her head, frustration evident in her eyes. "I can’t believe you trusted him. What if he’s doing all this just to lead us into another trap?""I don’t trust him," I clarified. "But I need him. We need him. And I’ll be watching him closely."Kiara sighed, her expression softening slightly. "Alright, Asher. I trust you. But please, be careful.""I will," I promised, squeezing her hand. "We’ll get through this together."Kiara nodded, though worry still lingered in her eyes. "What’s the plan?""I’m going to meet with Jonas again," I said.

Jonas, you're with me. We'll sneak in through the back and grab her. Kiara, you're our ace in the hole. Once we've got her, you'll take care of the rest."I turned to Jonas, who stood with his arms crossed, his face completely expressionless. His demeanor was suspicious, and I clenched my hands into fists."Jonas, I mean it," I warned. "I don't want to see even a hint of betrayal. You're with us, or you're against us. And if you're against us, I won't hesitate to end you."Jonas didn’t flinch; his expression remained bland and relaxed, almost as if he was bored."I'm with you, Asher," he said flatly. "Don't worry about me."I narrowed my eyes, trying to read him. But there was nothing to read. He was a blank slate, making it even more irritating to look at him."Good," I said finally. "

It was like trying to break free from chains, but I gritted my teeth and focused on Asher’s face. Slowly, agonizingly slowly, I felt Tacha’s grip on my mind loosen. I took a step back, the dagger slipping from my fingers. “Asher,” I whispered, my voice shaking. I dropped to my knees beside him, cradling his head in my lap. His eyes flickered open again, and he gazed up at me, pain and confusion etched on his face. “Kiara?” he whispered. I nodded, tears streaming down my face. “I’m so sorry, Asher.

I was the Alpha, after all. My pack needed me to be strong, to lead them without showing any form of weakness. Yet, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Jonas’s lifeless face, felt the weight of the decision I’d made.One evening, after everyone had left and the clinic was quiet, Kiara curled up beside me on the bed, her head resting on my chest. I could feel the steady rise and fall of her breathing, the warmth of her body against mine. It was comforting, a reminder that I wasn’t alone, even if it felt that way sometimes.“Asher,” she whispered into the darkness, her voice barely above a breath. “You kn

Her presence was an anchor, keeping me grounded in the world of the living. I could feel her hand in mine, warm and steady, as if she were pouring her strength into me, willing me to stay with her. I fought to open my eyes, to see her, to reassure her that I was still here. When I finally managed to crack them open, the first thing I saw was her face, close to mine, her expression a mixture of exhaustion and fierce determination. Even in her weariness, she was beautiful—more beautiful than I could have ever imagined."Kiara," I whispered, my voice barely audible, but she heard me. She always did.
