Asher povI walked into the big hall, but behold I saw something that shock me, i was Aurora As I watched her approach me with so much confidence, all I could do was just stand there like an ice-cold structure, not even a reply from me as I heard my name. What I could keep doing was to stand there as I wallow in my imagination.In a matter of seconds, so many thoughts came to my head, and different types of flashbacks of us together. As I kept on lost in different thoughts, I felt a touch that brought me back to reality, a cold, soft, and gentle palm that I haven't felt in a very long time.And behold, she stood in front of me with her good loving blonde hair, her cute-looking blue eyebows match with her eyebrows, and her gorgeous dress with her high heels, and with all that, I began to wonder what a transformation she has really made for herself, because this is not the Aurora I knew years ago, she has had so much confidence in her. she waved with constant repetition. "Like, is th
Asher povShe sitting all alone on a lounge chair in an eye-catching terrace, with her beauty still glowing even more than when I met her earlier.As I looked from a distance and kept on admiring her beauty with so many thoughts, I was absent-minded with one of my hands lying on a pole. I stood there for some minutes, then gained some courage to go talk to her."At least, what is the worst that might happen? And again, I just want to apologize about what happened earlier with Sophia. Even if the two of them are feeling so proud to apologize to each other, it's the best I could do after all, because of me, they both quarreled earlier," as I said to myself.As I walked towards her, I could still sense some kind of fear in me."Good day, Aurora," I greeted with a deep breath. she nooded as she looked so confused and kind of angry."No! Please, I didn't come here for that. I am not here for that same drama again," I said to her.She brought out her notepad from her bag.With a deep breat
Asher pov I stood there with a pen, waiting for her to write. She could not talk, since she was mute, but her notepad served as her way to communicate.But it stayed shut, and her pen was tight in her grip."Come on, write something," I said, looking at the notepad. "Tell me if you agree."Yet she just stood still, not moving, as the wind softly rustled the leaves."Alright, I'll wait," I said, reaching for her hands, which she pulled away.Taking a deep breath, she turned and walked off, her head lowered. I was left with many thoughts racing in my mind.After she had walked some way, she glanced back at me, her face showing irritation.The event started, and a speaker went up to the front. "Good evening, everyone. Now, for the final but most important presentation tonight, let's welcome this young woman, who, even though she does not speak, has amazed everyone with her incredible success. She grew her company from nothing to one of the best in the field. Ladies and gentlemen, please
Asher povMy eyes widened in astonishment as I beheld Sophia standing in front of me."Have you been drinking?" she asked when she noticed the broken bottles on the floor."What do you want?" I snarled.Sophia's words were not true. "I'm not going to sit around and let everything we've ever struggled for slip away," she warned, pushing me into the room.She strode over to me, eyes burning with purpose; I retreated from her, backward in the direction of the bed.I could feel the intensity in her eyes as she walked up to me. She was out to have it with me over something, and from the look in her eyes, it was not going to be pretty. "Sophia, what is wrong?" I tried to stall.But she would have none of that. "Don't play dumb with me, asher," she said in a low, even tone. "I know all about your little infatuation with Aurora."Saying that, my guiltiness surged into my feelings, but I did the best to hold myself poised. "I have no idea what you are talking about," I lied, trying to sound a
Asher povMorning light crept inside the room, the passion of the previous night still fresh. I woke with a pounding headache-the remnants of the hangover still there. Lying beside me was Sophia, and a sly smile grew on her lips."Good morning, my alpha," she whispered, very low and seductive.I rubbed my temples, trying to ease the pain. "What was last night all about?" I asked, my voice filled with confusion and curiosity.Sophia took a deep breath before responding. "I'm the luna, and I know what my alpha needs at any given time."I raised an eyebrow, incredulous. "Sophia, I know that, but your behavior last night was unlike you. You didn't use protection or your pregnancy prevention pills. What's your game in all of this?"Sophia's smile never wavered. "Don't start this morning, asher. I know you enjoyed the passion, and I did too. Let's not spoil the moment. And if you're not satisfied, we have plenty of time this morning."I caught her hand, which was reaching to touch my chest.
Asher povI stood there, dumbfounded, my eyes scanning in every direction for the minutest trace of the mysterious figure; he had vanished into nowhere.I shook my head, trying to put together what was happening. First were the revelations of what Sophia had been into-the stuff sent my head reeling-and then, all of a sudden, here is this figure who just materialized and then in almost a single instant, poof.I looked down at the folder still clutched in my hand, the documents inside showing some real shockers about Sophia's actions. I knew I needed to confront her, but some part of me just wouldn't take action.Maybe it was just some kind of setup. Maybe Sophia was totally innocent, and this phantom figure wanted me to think otherwise?Shrugging off my doubts, I went up to my hotel room with my mind swimming in questions and doubts. The minute I stepped into that room, there sat Sophia upon the bed, more innocent than one human mind can fathom.But I knew a thing or two about her inno
Asher povOn the way to my mansion, my assistant was informing me about what had taken place. Explaining it in detail, she said Sophia had been brooding in quietness, just to solidify her support among the ranks in members to bring me down.I growled with building growing anger: How could Sophia do this to our pack? Where does she place the interest of our people?The air grew thick with tension as I approached headquarters. Pack members were huddled together, speaking among themselves.I steeled myself for the coming fight and took a deep breath. I wasn't going to let Sophia's actions tear our pack apart.I got out of the car and began to walk towards headquarters with my assistant. The curious and hostile gazes turned to me as we entered the building.I tuned them out-mentally set my focus on what lay ahead of me. I needed to get in, speak with the pack, reassure them as to my position, reassure them that I remained pack leader and the commitment within remained strong.But before r
Asher povThe elders looked at each other and nodded. "All right, Alpha. We shall take you to her."I followed the elders, my heart beating, ready for anything yet knowing full well that I had to face Sophia and bring the truth to the fore.Tension wells up inside of me as I approach Sophia's quarters, the anger boiling over, the confusion, but above all, the hurt which was how could Sophia do this to me? How can she lie to me and manipulate the elders?By this time, we were at Sophia's quarters. I pushed the door open and stepped in. She lay on the bed; white, almost weakened. But then I knew how great an actor she was; one way or another, anyone would yield for her. "Sophia," I rasped, sounding low and forbidding. "We gotta talk."She looked up at me, a weak smile on her face. "Asher," she whispered. "I'm so glad you're here. I have been feeling so unwell."I snarled; all my anger boiled then. "Don't play games with me, Sophia," I spat. "I know about your little scheme, the way you
Asher povIt was raining. I was standing in front of the window, at the window, looking outside, as my heart shuddered to every boom of the rainstorms. I was standing with the twins. I was looking away from outside, at something, to looking at them, and their eyes were distorted in fear. They were afraid of the rain. I breathed as I moved towards them."Hello, children, don't fear. I am here with you," I whispered, stooping down to their level."We want our mummy," responded one of the twins, his voice shaking and pathetic."Don't fear, you will meet your mummy soon, and we will stay together," I said, trying to smile."We don't know you, sir. We want our mummy!" both of them shrieked at the same time."Shut up you two, okay? You're driving me crazy here," I shouted back, banging my head. But shouting didn't appear to be doing any good, for they persisted, but louder. Their din, combined with the anger of the thunderstorm, was tightening the whole atmosphere in the room.Suddenly, and
Aurora povMy guard, who was sitting beside me, seemed to sense my unease. He placed a reassuring hand on my arm. "We'll find them, Aurora," he said, his voice low and steady.I nodded, taking a deep breath. I had to stay focused. For the twins' sake, I had to stay strong.Before long, the plane began its descent into the alpha's city. I felt a flutter in my chest as I gazed out the window at the unfamiliar landscape below.As we touched down on the runway, I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was one step closer to finding my twins. And I wouldn't rest until they were safely back in my arms.The flight was smooth, and I spent the time going over everything that had happened so far, trying to piece together the puzzle.I could feel a sense of anticipation building up inside me. What would the alpha tell me? Would he have any news about my twins?We were greeted by one of the alpha's guards, who escorted us to the alpha's mansion. As we arrived, the alpha himself came out to
Aurora povAll my efforts to threaten Asher, to see if he was the one who kidnapped my twins, had been in vain. My patience was fading away, and I needed to find a way to get them back. With each passing day without my twins, my frustration grew.As I dwelled in my misery, my phone rang. I was surprised to hear the voice on the other end. "Hello, Aurora. It's been a while," he said, his voice loud and clear."Yes, it has," my guard replied, coughing after speaking. "Aurora, I heard what happened to you. I know it's been hard for you these past few days," the alpha said, his voice low and sympathetic."Thank you," my guard said, reading the words I wrote on my notepad. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you. I had a lot on my mind.""I understand," the alpha replied. "Who would blame you? I was paid a visit by Alpha Asher. He was the one who told me about the kidnapping of your twins. That was the main reason he came here.""Asher was in your city?" my guard asked, sounding surprised. "And he
Asher povI decided to close the paper, not wanting to know what was on it. I stormed out of the house, driving out as if I was like a thief. We went straight to where I hide my twins, and with every turn I made, I looked at my rearview mirror on my car to check if I was being followed.As I drove, my heart was racing with anticipation and fear. I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched, and the thought of being followed sent a chill down my spine. I glanced at my rearview mirror again, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Still, I couldn't relax, my senses on high alert as I navigated the winding roads. Finally, I arrived at the safe house, a nondescript building nestled in a secluded area. I breathed a sigh of relief as I pulled into the driveway, feeling a sense of security wash over me.I turned off the engine and sat for a moment, collecting my thoughts. I had been hiding my twins here for days now, and it was starting to feel like a permanent solution. But I knew it
Asher povI spent the rest of the day with Sofia, trying to reassure her that everything would be okay. But the guilt was eating away at me, making it harder and harder to keep up the act.As the sun began to set, I knew I had to get out of there before I cracked under the pressure. I made an excuse about needing to check on some pack business, and Sofia nodded understandingly."I'll be fine," she said. "I'm just going to rest for a bit."I nodded and smiled, feeling like a traitor. As I left the guard's quarters, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was walking further and further down a path from which I might never return.I made my way back to my own quarters, my mind racing with thoughts of Sofia, the baby, and Aurora. I knew I had to come up with a plan to deal with Aurora once and for all, but I was running out of time.As I entered my quarters, I was greeted by the sound of my phone buzzing. I picked it up, hoping for a distraction from my thoughts. But my heart sank as I saw t
Asher povThis was all coming down on me like a hammer, and I didn't know how to handle it. I had to be patient until Sofia gave birth, and also avoid Aurora. I would try my best not to meet her.I took a deep breath and tried to clear my head. I had to think clearly and come up with a plan. I couldn't let Aurora get to me, and I couldn't let Sofia's pregnancy complicate things further.I decided to focus on one thing at a time. First, I had to make sure Sofia was safe and healthy until she gave birth. Then, I could deal with Aurora and figure out what to do about the twins.I felt a sense of determination wash over me. I was going to get through this, no matter what it took. I was going to protect Sofia, the twins, and myself, no matter what dangers lay ahead.With newfound resolve, I headed back to my car, ready to face whatever challenges came my way.As I drove away, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was being watched. I glanced in the rearview mirror, but saw nothing out of the
Asher pov I waited for a few moments, my senses on high alert, but there was no further noise. I let out a slow breath and relaxed slightly, thinking that maybe I had just imagined it.But then, I heard it again. This time, it was louder and closer. It sounded like footsteps, crunching through the underbrush outside the cabin.I motioned to my pack members to get into position, and we all moved quietly to the windows and doors, ready to defend ourselves if necessary.The footsteps got closer and closer, and then, suddenly, a figure appeared at the window. It was a woman, and she looked frantic."Alpha Asher," she whispered urgently. "I need to talk to you."I recognized the woman as one of Aurora's office personnel, and my instincts told me to be cautious. But there was something in her eyes that made me trust her, at least for the moment.I nodded, and motioned for her to come inside. She slipped in quietly, and I could see that she was shaking with fear."What is it?" I asked her,
Asher povMy mother nodded, tears streaming down her face. "I understand, Asher. I'm so sorry for what I did. I promise to never interfere in your life again."I looked at her, searching for any sign of deception. But all I saw was genuine remorse."I want you to leave the pack, Mother," I said, my voice firm. "I want you to go somewhere and reflect on your actions. Maybe then you'll understand why what you did was so wrong."My mother nodded again, this time with a hint of sadness. "I'll go, Asher. I'll leave the pack and give you the space you need."I watched as she turned and walked away, feeling a mix of emotions. I was relieved that the truth was finally out, but I was also sad that my mother had sunk so low.As I stood there, holding my twins close, I knew that I had to move forward. I had to focus on rebuilding my relationship with my children and making sure they were safe and know me.I looked down at my twins, who were looking up at me with big, curious eyes. "Let's go home
Asher povMy mother's expression changed, and she looked at me with a mixture of sadness and desperation. "I was trying to protect you, Asher. I was trying to protect our family's reputation.""By kidnapping innocent children?" I asked, my voice rising in anger.My mother took a step forward, her hands clasped together. "I know it was wrong, but I didn't know what else to do. Sofia is getting suspicious, and I knew it was only a matter of time before she found out about your children with Aurora."I shook my head, feeling a wave of disgust wash over me. "You should have trusted me to handle it, Mother. You should have trusted me to protect my own family."My mother's eyes filled with tears, and she fell to her knees. "I'm sorry, Asher. I'm so sorry. I was blinded by my own fears and doubts."I stood there, looking at my mother, feeling a mix of emotions: anger, disappointment, and sadness. I didn't know what to do, or how to process what had just happened.As I stood there, trying to
