2024-11-06 14:27:06Asher's POV
The pack enforcers and some other members of his pack are all gathered at the clearing, all to witness the exchange and serve as a witness to our deal.
I could hear the murmuring and whispering of the pack members, no doubt in fear of what might happen if things don’t go smoothly. After all, I'm known as the Cruel Alpha and my reputation precedes me.
Moving forward, I catch a scent so sweet and pure, a scent of bliss. My wolf purred within, urging me to trace where the scent is from and from who.
Standing right at the center of the crowd was a petite female, looking so meek and gentle. Slowly, cautiously, I allowed my gaze to drift to her. Studying her blond hair, highlighted with silver strands, cascading around her shoulders in loose waves.
Her dark eyebrows arch over her midnight dark eyes that ensnare me. She wears a simple pair of blue jeans that hug her curves and show the swell of her ass and a pink sweater that accentuates the swell of her breasts.
This woman’s sweet scent of vanilla and roses cocoons me in a rippling blanket of fire, engulfing me in heat. Mine. My wolf growls in the back of my head. A wave of possessiveness hits me at once, making me wince.
How can this be after years of searching for my mate and here she is standing right in front of me, looking so scared and anxious, a feeling my wolf doesn’t like, because he snarls.
Every fiber of my being wants to claim her right here in front of everyone and declare her as my own. Mine. Mine. Mine. Everything about her calls to me not only the wolf inside but the man as well.
She’s perfection personified and I’ve never wanted a woman as badly as I want her. I could sense my betas trying to communicate with me through our mind link, no doubt they could feel the change in my emotions and knew something was up.
“Asher, you good?” Derek asks
“Is something wrong Alpha, we could sense the change. Is there a problem with the female standing before you? Everyone is starting to stare” Dale says, scanning the environment.
“I found my mate, guys. My mate is standing right in front of me now”
“What” from Dale
“Shit! What’s going to happen with the deal” Derek asked
I want to know why my mate is bound with chains on her hands and feet like a fucking slave.
My wolf seems so furious at that and I agree with him on that. No one gets to treat our mate like that.
My expression turns murderous, wanting to tear apart those who bound her with chains.
I turned to face her father, the look of murder in my gaze wanting to tear him apart.
He looked so shocked and confused, probably wondering why I had such an expression on my face.
“Asher you need to calm down, I can feel the anger radiating from you” Derrk tells me but I can't seem to do that now, I'm hanging on by a thread.
“Shit! It's the chains. Someone get it off her, the chains are fueling his anger” Dale says
He moves towards our direction, slowly not to trigger my anger. With his hands raised up gently
“I'm just going to take this off her that's all” he says as he near us, I growl in return
I understand he doesn't mean any harm, just wants to help get rid of the chains, but my wolf seem to see him as a threat right now.
Dale stops as he sees I'm still very much furious right now
“Asher, come on now, I know you can hear me, just let me take the chains off her”
“Asher, Asher, calm it” says Derek. After some minutes, I finally took control from my wolf.
Dale notices the change in my demeanor, so he uses the opportunity to quickly get the chains off Raven.
I appreciate his efforts in doing that, now Nicholas is going to hear it from me.

Raven’s POVFrom the expression and look on Asher’s face, I could feel him trying to make sense of the situation, the wheels turning in his head.His eyes seem to grow distant for a while like he’s communicating something to his betas through the mind link.Suddenly, his expression changes from longing and want to that of fury.Anger radiating from him, even the pack could feel it too, from the way they seem to scurry back away from him. Scared of him.My father seemed tense and shocked. Sweat trickled down my back.Have I done something wrong? What could suddenly be wrong? I thought, from my side eye I could see my mother glaring at me as if this was all my fault.“What’s the meaning of this”. Asher asks in a booming voice “How dare you tie her up like a slave! Let her go”. He directs his words to my father, who seem to flinch at his anger .My father looked so scared right now, if not for the situation we are in i’d be laughing right now at the look on his face.I didn’t think Asher

Asher's POVThe little woman in my arms looks so tense. I could understand, giving the situation of things and with the kind of reputation I had. I mean, I clearly just threatened her father with death not quite long. I really wonder why her wolf seems so quiet and doesn’t want to show herself. I could clearly see she was strong. Perhaps there's more to it and I'm going to have to figure it out.I had mind linked to Derek to inform the staff at home on our arrival and get everything set and coordinated when we arrive.The drive back to the pack didn’t take more than 30 minutes. Stepping out of the car, I could see her in awe of her surroundings. My pack is no small pack, no doubt bigger than the Shadow pack.We have worked hard to build all that we have now from scratch. My mansion is the biggest building in the pack, standing out amongst the others.“Come in, this is your home from now on”. I said ushering her inside the house. She shivered a little as I placed my hand on the base

Are we sleeping on the same bed” i asked him“Yes Raven, i can’t allow my mate stay far from me” he says “But in my pack, my mother never stays in the same room with my father ever” I say looking up at him.“Well, maybe that’s your pack’s way of doing things. But, we don’t do that here in Shadow pack.I want you close to me, it helps calm my wolf and me”. He says with a hint of want and desire in her eyes.“Okay, I understand. I also feel the same way. What I mean is that my wolf totally agrees with you on that”. I said and I could see him trying to hide his smile.“Well then, let me leave you to change so you can come down for dinner”. He says, kissing my forehead before striding out of the room, closing the door behind.It all felt so surreal, with Asher out of the room I could fina

Asher’s POVThe scent of vanilla and roses wafted from the staircase to the dinning, indicating the Raven is on her way down. Raven came down and walked towards the dinning looking all radiant and beautiful in the dress I picked out for her.My wolf purred at her sight. The short yellow dress stopping at her knees, was stunning on her, guess I picked out the right size. The neckline and waist had thin strips of delicate lace with floral pattern emphasizing the deep-v neckline, showing a hint of cleavage, more fitted around her curves.The color was a perfect match to her blond hair, accentuating the color of her eyes. Her curves were enticing to touch. She rocked the dress so well my wolf wanted to claim her here and now in the presence of all our staff to show that she belongs to us.“Absolutely perfect” I murmured, standing up to meet her by the landing. I could feel the tension rolling off her as I neared. Too scared to look up at me, instead stared at her feet.I raised my hand

Yes, yes, I know that. I’m just teasing you, calm down” He said laughing“I’m on my way”Leaving Raven is difficult but it’s necessary, given the situation of things. My wolf urged me to go deal with the threat and return back to our mate.“I have something urgent to take care of, I'll be back soon. Don’t wait up, I might stay long, "I inform her.“Alright, I'll change and go to bed then”.Stepping outside the house, I met Derek on his way in.“I should come with

Raven’s POVMust have dozed off at some point, woke up and saw Asher leaning on the door frame, wearing all black, looking like an avenging angel.I could smell the scent of blood on him, but the shadows hid his face so I couldn't make out his expression, just his outline. He seemed to be staring right at me, a look of hunger and want.I sat up, fear and something else brewing inside of me. A wave of arousal hit me, my wolf was up and active and she liked the feral emotions rolling off our mate.Unable to say a word, but just kept staring at him, hoping he would move or say something. After a while, Asher stepped into the room, within the dominance of an Alpha.“Ash…Asher, what’s going on?” I asked him as he approached the bed.“Mine” was all he said. His wolf was so close to the surface, I could sense it. The tension in the room seemed to grow, my stomach clench in excitement at his closeness. The feeling of want encapsule me.“Tell me to stop now Raven” he says, trying hard to rai

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”.

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
