ELYSIA'S POVI asked Asher why there was so much company when we were just going shopping."Because I want you to have as much help as you can get, we don't want to take any chances," Asher said.Asher's driver took the wheel while Asher stayed with me at the back. All through the drive, he kept being overprotective of me. Occasionally, he would turn and ask if I was okay. Whenever we met a gallop, he would take me in his arms and hold my stomach, he would run it occasionally to make sure I was okay.We arrived at the store where we were to shop for paints to paint the nursery. While the guards were asked to stay back in the car, the maids were asked to come into the store with us so they could lend a hand if there was a lot to carry.There was a bit of a conflict about the colour of the paint to buy since we weren't sure of the sex of the baby yet. We finally concluded on getting the two colours after a while of deliberation.We returned to the palace after shopping, Asher asked if I
ELYSIA'S POV"How could they?" Asher groaned and tightened his fists against the wheel. I watched all the veins in his hands and neck start to pop while at it to the point that I got scared that he may lose control of the wheel and we could run into a crash."Calm down, Asher." I tried to calm him down, but he tightened his fist even more, I was scared that if he held on further, he might end up ripping the wheel apart."Who are they to think that they can order me around?" Asher groaned louder under his breath. "Do they think you are some kind of toy or something?" His angry voice filled the car.We were on the way home after the meeting with the Alpha on the border and Alpha had been furious ever since then. He could not control his anger at the fact that they didn't just try order him around, but they also dared to treat me like a toy which they would hold a meeting to determine what happened to me.I tried to calm him but he wasn't having any of it."I'd go for the meeting, but I'
ELYSIA'S POVAt first, it felt like I was floating in a cluster of clouds since I could no longer feel my body touching the ground, instead, I felt strong arms around me and holding me closely to a soft body.My eyes fluttered open to see Asher carrying me securely in his arms.I blinked my eyes open and looked into his face."Asher," I mumbled.He looked a little bit upset and didn't even spare me even the slightest smile."What were you doing falling asleep in the nursery where you could have gone to bed?" He asked me crossly.I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and hugged him."I was trying to put it in order since you were out with Nikolai, you didn't come back on time so I thought I should do something to pass the time," I said, pouting."But, you shouldn't have fallen asleep there, you know sleeping like that on the ground could be dangerous for our child." He said and used one of his hands to push the room door open.I had considered that earlier, but I didn't realize whe
ASHER'S POVWe got ready and packed up that night, and the next morning, we set off for the place where the meeting was to be held.We went with two cars because we needed to take along with us the other people who were in the field the other day and some of my men.I kept having a hitch in my breath all through the morning even while we packed up the things we would be needing for the duration of the meeting into the car."Are you ready?" Elysia turned to me once we were done and I swallowed hard."Yes,"I did not seem to be able to get my heart to be at peace all through the drive there because I was worried. I could not just shake off the feelings that something was going to go wrong.I felt the strong urge to suddenly turn the car around and return to my pack, but I knew I could not do that because whether I liked it or not, I would eventually have to answer to the call of the other Alphas and I realized that the earlier I did that, the better for both I and Elysia.I knew Elysia
ASHER'S POVI woke up before Elysia the next morning and I lay beside her till she woke up.She stretched herself and her eyes fluttered open to see me leaning over her and looking at her with a smile on my face.She looked around the room in confusion at first, and it took a while before I realized that she was confused as to where she was. It was equally soothing to note that despite her confusion, Elysia was calm seeing my face there.She blinked rapidly for a while and sat up before she finally recalled where we were."For how long have you been awake?" She asked me."I woke up not long ago," I told her even while knowing that I actually didn't get much sleep because I was worried that the Alphas were going to try something while we were asleep."The meeting is scheduled to be held later today," I told her. "After that, we would go back home where it's peaceful, okay," I assured her.She snuggled closer to me and I put my arms around her protectively and rubbed her back. I heard h
ELYSIA'S POVThe Alphas insisted that I should showcase my powers in front of them in order for them to determine if I would remain as Luna or not.A scoff escaped my lips as I watched him spit out the words with so much authority like they were in their rights.I was infuriated with the audacity of the Alphas to make such a request of me. I considered it a direct insult to both I and Asher.Who gave them the right to make such a request of me? Did they think I was some sort of show dog or something that they could push around the way they liked and use for their entertainment?My jaw tightened and my fists clenched with every single word that left the lips of the Alpha who was addressing us.I burst out when I couldn't take it anymore because they were trying to treat me like a show dog instead of a Luna."What exactly do you take me for?" I lashed out at them. "A puppet? That you can order around the way you like? "Stay away from me, all of you and stop trying to control me." I bark
ELYSIA'S POVI woke up after a while to see Asher hovering over me and looking into my face.He had a knot on his forehead which immediately began to fade as soon as he noticed that I was awake. He let out a deep breath and leaned in to hug me.I was lying on the bed while Asher was sitting down and hovering over me. I had no idea for how long we had been like that."Thank God you are awake." He whispered to me."For how long have I been asleep?" I asked him and sat up on the bed."For as long as possible," he teased and felt my temperature with the back of his palm. "We are leaving this evening, and I just want to be sure that I have everything right."I nodded, it was about time we went back home after all."What happened at the meeting? How did it end?" I asked him because I could not remember anything that had happened after I made to storm out of the meeting.He explained to me everything that happened after the goddess took over my body the previous day and how she had warned th
ASHER'S POVWhen I got back from the errand I had to run, I went straight into the room to find Elysia. All through my drive back home, my mind had been on Elysia, I could not just wait for the evening so that we would go back to our pack and enjoy the peace which we had missed for the past few months.There was a smile on my face when I pushed the door open because I had gotten Elysia one of her favourite snacks and I was anticipating the look on her face when I handed it over to her.The smile on my face immediately faded when I pushed the door open and noticed that Elysia was not in the room, and from the look of things, it looked like she had been gone for a long.I got a little apprehensive but didn't think much of it. I brushed it off because I had left her under the care of Nikolai. If anything had gone wrong, he would have called immediately to inform me.I thought they had probably gone out for a walk and would be back soon, so I decided to take that chance and pack up our st
