2024-11-20 14:00:00Asher's POV
After listening to Raven’s story, I just want to rip out her father’s neck and all the people involved in torturing my mate.
My wolf was furious and blood thirsty, it’s taking a lot for me to control the blood lust.
The pain in her voice broke something in me, she suffered a lot at my pack, the feeling of betrayal from people you hold as family is heartbreaking.
Raven tried so hard to shield her pain, but I could feel it, so raw and bone wrenching.
The gasps in her breath, trying so hard to breath with the pain only served to fuel my anger.
Losing control now won’t help either of us and the council will just see more reason to bring me down.
I’ll get my revenge from Nicholas, he better watch out, no one hurts my mate and goes scott free.
Sending a message to my betas through the mindlink, telling them of the things Raven told me. Dale was the first to reply

She laughs “oh no, it's fine miss Raven, I must be getting old now” she says, waving me off.“Oh please drop the title, just call me Raven”“Okay Raven. What did you ask earlier”“I asked what song you were humming”“It's a popular song back in my pack.

Asher's out for a business meeting with Derek and Dale.I'm here sitting in the garden and wondering how everything is all going to go. The last time a ceremony was held for me was my 18th birthday, the night I was meant to shift but I didn't and that night didn't end well.What if something happens again? What if it all goes wrong during the mating ceremony?All these questions I keep asking myself. My wolf growls silently within, her way of saying she's always with me.Sometimes I feel like I can hear her speak to me, like I can hear her voice in my head, like she's protecting me.After a while, I get up and go to the kitchen to get something to snack on.Matilda clearing some dishes away and humming that same song I heard from her before.“Morning Matilda” I say as I enter the kitchen so I don't startle her again.“Morning Raven, did you sleep well?” She asks, turning to me.“I didn't, was res

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

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.
