2024-11-19 16:08:33Asher’s POV
I startled awake, feeling the presence of someone prodding my mind .
“You had better have a valid reason for waking me this early and disturbing from my sleep with my mate”
“Asher you have to come down here now” Derek spoke with a hint of urgency in his tone.
This had me sitting up immediately, this movement made Raven grumble under her breath, but continued sleeping.
“What’s going on?” I asked
“Isla is right here in your office, destroying everything and hurling abuses at the staff trying to stop her. She’s being hysterical and demanding to see you.”
“I’ve tried holding her off but she’s holding a blade and threatening to paint your office with her blood if anyone tries to touch her”
“Shit!”
“Yeah, shit it is”
“I’m sure you don’t want your mate to wake up to this, so i suggest you head downstairs and come deal with this”
“On my way there now”. Putting on my clothes, I kissed the top of Raven’s head before heading downstairs.
I’ve known Isla since we were kids and I know the kinds of tantrums she throws if she wants something or things don't go her way.
Raven’s presence here must have caused her to behave this way. It’s time I set things straight once and for all.
I met Derek at the entrance of the door, the office door was closed
“She’s your problem, deal with it before it gets out of hand”. He said looking tired and cranky, doubt he has had his morning coffee yet.
The office was a mess, papers littered the floor, pieces of broken glass scattered around, spilled ink all over my desk.
Furious couldn’t describe what I was feeling seeing all this mess. My wolf was seething with rage. How dare she make a mess of my office?
She hasn’t even noticed my presence yet. She picked up a mug and was about to throw it somewhere else…
“Enough!” I bark out loud, voice booming over the walls of the office. She tensed up immediately, fear clouding her eyes as she dropped the mug gently on the desk.
“Ash… Asher” she calls out stammering, eyes glistening with unshed tears, lips shaking, a sly attempt to try to get to me.
I couldn’t help the growl that came out next “What’s the meaning of all this? How dare you turn my office into your personal venting ground”.
Whimpering, she steps towards me, tears glistening in her eyes.
Placing a hand on my chest, something my wolf seems to despise. Ripping her hands off me aggressively I said
“Don’t touch me”
“Asher, Asher, why? Why are you ignoring me now? What is all this I hear, that you found your mate.
I’m your mate Asher, we are meant to be together” she says before pausing and sniffing me
“Why can I smell a feminine scent on you? Is she the one Asher” she questions with a bite in her tone.
“You heard right Isla, I've found my mate, the one destined for me and my wolf. Moreover my wolf likes her already”. With a look of anger and disgust she says
“Your mate, that thing, I heard she is a latent, how can your wolf fancy that.
She’s not worthy of you Asher, she’s not someone the pack will ever agree to be the Luna”
Seething with rage at her words, I held her by her neck, her hands crawling at me, attempting to break free of my hold, but she couldn’t.
She was so furious and my wolf wanted to rip out her heart with her words.
“You will not disrespect my mate like that ever again. You won’t look at her, speak to her or make snide remarks at her, or I'll have your tongue ripped out. Am I clear?”
Whimpering she answered “Yes Asher”
“It’s Alpha to you not Asher”
“Yes Alp… Alpha” she strained to answer with my hands still on her neck. I finally let go of her, seeing the look of fear in her eyes seemed to calm my wolf.
“Now get out of my office” I growled out
Scramping out of my office, she got to the door and finally turned back to me with a look of defiance
“I’m going now, but this isn’t over, we are not done Asher. You are mine” she says before walking out back.
“You can come in now Raven, I know you’re there”. I’ve sensed the presence of my mate for a while during my argument with Isla.
I knew she was standing behind the pillar, listening in on our conversation.
Her presence helped calm my wolf a little or it would have ripped out Isla's heart a moment ago.

Something was up and I could tell from the way he tensed up suddenly beside me.I quickly showered, putting on one of Asher’s shirts and shorts. I went in search of my mate.I had no idea where he could be and the house was so huge I didn't know where to start from. Asher is yet to give me the tour he promised.“Good morning miss Raven” a voice said from behind me, startling me“Holy shit!” placing a hand on my chest, i turned around to see who it was.“Sorry Miss Raven, didn’t mean to scare you”. A woman who looked to be in her early fifties dressed in a chef outfit gently apologized, bowing her head. She must be the cook.“Oh no, it’s fine, I guess I'm not used to such a big house and I assumed no one was here,” I say , smiling at her.“Do you want anything? Breakfast will be served in a bit” she said“No, I don’t need anything, but could you point me in the direction of the A

I’ll have someone come clean up this mess”. Taking my hand, he leads me out of his office.“Hello there” said a voice, coming towards us. From a distance I could make out a figure, tall and huge. As he neared us, I could see the carbon copy of beta Derek standing in front of us.He must be his twin, I had seen this face on the day Asher came to claim me at my pack. Asher sighed in response to him.“Dale where have you been?” he asked himWith a look of resignation he replied “sorry Asher, my dead beat ass was so drunk last night”. I could detect a hint of sadness in his voice. Nodoub

Asher's POV Raven was at peace here, I could see her let go of all her worries and enjoy the peacefulness of the garden. I also come here to clear my head, it’s peaceful and quiet.I know she has some questions to ask me about what happened this morning in the office and who Isla was to me. I saved her the trouble of having to ask me and brought it up myself“The woman who left this morning was Isla, she’s a beta wolf, a member of my pack. We used to date before I met you” I could feel at tense at that, but she didn’t move away or say anything, so I continued“She heard I had gotten a mate and came to throw a tantrum. Isla had always believed we were mates, and I’ve always told her no, my wolf barely tolerates her, but she refuses to believe that”“But why though? A mate bond is not something you can control, why does she believe she’s your mate?” Raven asks me sitting up “We all grew up together, Isla, Derek, Dale and I. since we were kids she had always had a crush on me and sin

Father allowed us ride his wolf”“And your mother” he asked“She?” a sad smile appeared on my face. “She was never present in our lives, more like a vessel that gave birth to us. She cared more about her appearance than her children”“She’s my father’s mate but there’s no love between them. Things started getting bad with my father’s thirst for power. His greed deepened and he lost all love and affection he had for us”“I remember Axton’s 18th birthday, father was overjoyed, his first fruit was finally going to embrace his wolf and be a part of his pack. After the shift, I never saw my brother again”Asher turned to face me fully “why? What happened to Axton?”Taking a deep breath,
