Asher’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.

    Raven's POV The moment Asher stood up from bed this morning, I was awake, feeling the loss of his warmth. 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

There are broken glasses everywhere, don’t want you hurting yourself” he says, moving towards me to where i stood by the door.He pulled me into a hug, sniffing me in, i could feel some of the tension leaving him before whispering to me“Let’s take that tour I promised now. 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

    Raven’s POVTwiddling my fingers in my lap, I couldn't look up at Asher as I told my story. Breathing in deeply and inhaling his scent gave me the courage to tell him“It wasn’t always bad. Growing up as the middle child and only girl was fun. We played around together, got into trouble and had lots of fun. 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,

Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I did promise you a tour” he says“I just love the serenity of this place. But that tour is needed.”“I need to familiarize myself with this mansion”. I say standing up and taking his hand in mine.Asher just chuckled at my words and let me pull him up.He gently removes his hand from mine and places it on my waist, leading me out of the garden.We got to the library, and I was again left astonished by how huge it was.If not for the peace that comes with the garden, the library would have been my favorite place.It's so huge.

You need to take your bath now.” I chuckled as Matilda chased Bryon round the house.At two, he was a force to reckon with, always full of mischief and trouble.He was really a handful, thanks to his godfathers and godmother who kept spoiling him and teaching him all the mischievous things he does, most especially Dale.Asher walked in with Dale behind him.“Da.” Bryon screamed, running towards him. Asher bent down and scooped him up.“Hey my little Alpha. How are you doing?” He asked and Bryon blew bubbles on his face and giggled.“Your boy is really a handful.” Matilda said to Asher, putting her hands on her waist.“Is that true? Have you been giving Matilda a tough time now, hmm?” He asked Bryon who just pouted back.Bryon turns to Derek. “Der.” He says, pointing at Matilda. He's reporting her to him. Derek just laughed, stroking his hair.“Play, play, play.” He chants, trying to wiggle down from Asher's arms.“Okay, o

That's so thoughtful of him. I mean, Bryon was your little brother who Isla killed and he was the only member of your family that truly loved and cared about you.Asher did a good thing naming your son after him.” Maya said with a smile on her face.“Yeah, I wasn't expecting him to name our son after my brother but he did it for me and I'm so happy.For every time I look into my son's eyes, I'll always remember my little brother.” I said with a sad smile.Maya turned to my sleeping son in the cradle. “Hello little Bryon. You're so cute.” She says, rubbing his chubby cheeks.I smiled at them. “Dale's going to blow a fuse when he learns of the baby's name.” Maya said, happy with the decision made.I burst out laughing. “He will get over it, after all I'm already making him and Derek his godfathers

It was just me, Maya, Matilda, Arianna and king here with Raven.Maya is bent on her other side, wiping away the sweat from entering her eyes and encouraging her.Raven kept pushing.

Don't give up now, you're doing it, darling and I'm so proud of you.” I said, smoothing her hair away from her face.“I know you're tired, but you're doing a great job.

What was it for, hmm?” She asked, sitting on the floor with her legs folded under her butt.“I was just tired last night and asked Asher to take me back to the house, that's all.” I said.

That's why I'm the best.” I said with a smug look.“Yeah, yeah, you're the best, we know it. No need to sound so smug about it.” She said, rolling her eyes at me.I gestured to her orange juice by her side, she still hadn't finished it yet.“Finish your juice, at least for now.” I said.“But I'm stuffed already, I don't want to.” She whined.I cocked my brow at her and inclined my head, an expression that screamed you have to.With a huff, she picked up the glass and downed the entire juice like it was a shot of tequila.“There.

    Asher’s POVI stopped dead in my tracks taking in the sight of Raven.She stood there in the white sleeved dress, flowing down to her ankle.She stood there looking like a Greek goddess, with those little gold trimmings accentuating the design of the dress.Her white creamy skin tanned to match with her blond hair and gave her skin a healthy glow.She had her hair bunched up in some kind of elegant updo that looked tousled with a few strands falling down the sides.She was breathtakingly beautiful and even my wolf growled in appreciation.She stared at me with that heated look in her eyes that made me want to claim her right here.If not for the audience we have, I would have had her bent over and fucked her thoroughly.I crossed to her with a smile on my face, sliding my arm around her.“You are sensationally beautiful, your beauty shines in the dark and radiates all around us. Sorry, I'm a bit late.” I whispered into her ear.She looked up at me with a smile on her face. “Thank you.

We were both sitting in the garden, admiring the view.The house has been buzzing with activities, with different people coming and going in preparation for tomorrow. I've got to face a lot of people tomorrow.I sighed heavily. “I can’t wait for it to come and go. A part of me is dreading tomorrow. I've got to face a lot of people tomorrow.”“Of course you will. You are now the Luna, you will always have to face people, you need to start getting used to that, okay? And I know tomorrow will be fun and epic. With all the preparations I've seen in place, Asher really went all out to make tomorrow a special day for you.It shows how much he loves you.” Maya says, smiling at me.“I know that. I’ll just have to suck it up and deal with it like a big girl.” I said with a smile.“That’s the spirit, you can do this, I believe in you.” she said, admiring the beautiful flowers all around us.“So, have you seen your dress ye

I understand, no need to apologize.” He assured me in a soothing tone.“How's my baby boy doing today? I didn't get to talk to him this morning before I left.” He asked and I smiled.“He's doing fine, at least he has made his presence known to me today so many times with the force of his kicks. I wonder where he gets so much strength from. I mean he's just a little kid, and it hurts a lot.” I said, wincing again as he kicked me.“Sorry, baby. It proves that our boy will be very strong and capable just like his mother.”“Me? Nope. I'm not that strong. He takes after you in strength. You're the one who's strong.” “Fine then.
