"Alexander, I believed I gave you an order" Asher growled at his Beta using his Alpha voice as they both jumped apart before looking back to face him."I'm sorry Alpha but I was just making sure the girl is okay and wasn't harm in any way" He said firmly not breaking a sweat under his Alpha's scrutiny.Asher's made a noise under his breath before his eyes darted away from his Beta's face for a moment and settled back at Beth's stiff posture on the sofa whose cheek was still red from all the tears, forcing his rigid stance to relax a little bit.Looking away from her, he turned to his Beta and spoke once again"Go and make sure everywhere is locked down. No one leaves the camp without my permission. I have a feeling we still have more of Luca left in my pack and I need to make an example of them just in case they have forgotten who they are dealing with. Now go"Alex bow slightly then stole a little glanced back at Beth over his shoulder before slipping out the door and leaving her with
"Please Izzy, I just want to know how it's happened. I have been taunted enough not to know how it really happened" Beth voice begged once again and the young girl let out a sigh before turning away from her."I don't know how the Luna die. We only know she was out in the wood one day before the Alpha got news that she was being hunted by that man that turned out to be your father and he went out to find her only to return with her death body in his arms. It was really a sad day for all of us here in the pack and a lost we couldn't forget. Our Luna was such a kind soul and always helpful to everyone. Why anyone would kill her in cold blood is still not clear to me but like my mother use to say, no one can understand a heart that is filled with evil because it's always seeking to destroy everything good within its radar"Izzy words hung heavy on her chest as fresh tears start to stink her eyes. Even though she never met the woman in question, Beth could tell from the way Izzy spoke abo
Beth awoke in darkness and pulled herself into a seating position. Though she was still half dazed, her subconscious mind was pulling at her to do something. She pushed herself from the floor and back to her feet slowly, her eyes still closed while she walked as though something was tugging her forward.She stopped before the large bed, before peering down at a sleeping Asher who lay shirtless and wearing only a pair of pajamas pant. Whatever was tugging her from within seem to grow even more powerful as she took a step closer and then paused before taking another hesitant step forward and then reached out a hand to comb through his hair carefully before moving lower to trace those slender fingers across his board chest under the dim room.A satisfied sigh slipped out her parted lips at the cool electrifying pulse that surge through her body, urging her to go even further as her hand caressed gently across his chiseled abs and slowly towards his torso.Asher stirred in his sleep befor
Asher's POVAsher rolled over the next morning with a sigh, his arms crossing his face to keep out ray of sunlight from attacking his eyes through the curtains. Birds were chirping outside his window, obviously announcing the start of a new day yet the Alpha felt reluctant to leave the comfort of his bed just yet.He looked like he didn't had much of a sleep last night. The thought of Elizabeth had hunted his sleep down to his awakening moment. Her scent still clung to him like his damn shadow and the way his own wolf has reacted was something he still couldn't shake off so darn easily.There was something deeply confusing about the way she had reacted to him as though she was being controlled by an unseen force that was hellbent on deciding the course of that very moment. Asher had a look of irritation in his eyes as he shifted uncomfortably in bed, her scent and memory from last night having a sudden physical effect on his body as he recalled everything that happened.And no matter
Beth's POV.Beth let out a relief breath the moment she made it into the bathroom and settled against the toilet seat, her cheeks still burning with sheer embarrassment. Waking up to that man scrutiny has to be the last thing she was expecting that morning. It's crazy that he was in her dreams doing things to her and even more crazier that she woke up to find him just a breath away from her face and even more? asking about it.What was he planning, to make her die of embarrassment? because she sure as hell felt like she had forgotten how to breathe properly under those questioning gaze of his. Beth was petrified and at the same time giddy. Her body had reacted in a manner that both told her she had enjoyed his presence in her dreams as much as the attention she has gotten even though she hated to admit it.She let out another breath and began to ease the tension in her bladder into the toilet before she made to grab some tissue and wipe herself clean with it. Once she was done, she p
Her lips parted slightly but no word made it out before she swallowed hard once again.Did she loose the baby? She wondered with her eyes darting between Asher's passive gaze to the lady rather calm ones.Not sure of what to say, she decided to ask question instead, "Did I loose the baby?"With raised brow, Asher leaned over her on the bed. "You would really love to loose it won't you?" He said accusingly."What??"He pushed himself away from her and then gave a careless shrug, "I don't know but you sounded like you wanted to hear something in the line of 'I'm sorry but you lost the baby', correct?" He said rather sarcastically, causing an irritating deep growl to erupt from her mouth but before she could retort with a comeback, The lady spoke up and forcing her to swallow back whatever remark she had coming up."You didn't lose the baby but I would advise that you eat well and healthy and also look after yourself and stop stressing too much because it's not good for you or the foetus
After a long peaceful night resting against the soft mattress and snuggling up against a warm body at some point in the night and even talking in her dreams, Beth woke up the next morning to an empty bed. Asher was gone but his presence still lingers on the bed. She let out a loud yawn before sliding out of bed and towards the bathroom to pee and get ready. It was still very early and Izzy is likely not to show up until later so giving herself a bath seem like something she would love to do without getting any more help unless it's to brush out her tangles.Grabbing the hair champion from the toiletry, she slipped into the bathtub after heating the water. Her whole body seem to hum in appreciation at the warm embrace of water against her skin as she let herself get soaked even more with a sigh.Izzy was surprised to find her ready and just waiting around for breakfast when she arrived at the Alpha bedchamber at her usual time."You didn't need my help I see" She said simply as she pr
Asher's POV.Sweaty, tired and relieved to be free from the kids, Asher returned to his room. All he wanted to do at that moment was to have a cold shower and just fall into bed, forgetting everything and everyone around him.To say his day was busy would be an understatement, it was packed. The surprise at seeing Beth on the fields with his Beta was still on his mind. He never expected to see her and what’s worse, she saw him playing with the kids.He could vividly remember the look of surprise on her face which quickly turned into a look of tenderness before it was replaced by her usual look of boredom. Now she would think him to be weak. He grumbled, walking along the hallways leading to his room.It was pretty late for anyone to still be up by this time. Asher glanced at the wall clock ticking at a far corner of the hallway. It was almost ten p.m which was considered late in the camp. Lights out were by nine p.m which was an hour ago.Asher got to his room soon, standing still at
It has been a month since the shooting incident with Bradley Lincoln. How everyone survived that day was a miracle. A miracle that got Asher’s men arriving on time and saving them both before they were ridden with silver bullet from his gun.For a moment, Elizabeth thought they were really going to die as she saw her life flashed before her very eyes but after all the shot were fired out and she was still safely wrapped in Asher's embrace, she knew she was still breathing and alive so she cried.She cried so hard, firstly because the man she thought was her father even though he had showed her too many times that he wasn’t had killed her mother and was going to kill her too. Nothing could be more messed up than that.As she stood beside his unconscious body that night and coughing out blood, she saw no remorse in the eyes of the dying man still. Even his last words still echo in her head."I will never forgive…" he couldn't complete his statement as he died on the spot and choking on
Beth opened her eyes slowly and groaned. A sudden migraine starting to hit her. She tried to make use of her hands but she was unable to move them. She opened her eyes fully and noticed she was now in a much darker room.She tried to wriggled her hands again but it seemed something was holding it back, prompting her to glance back at the new set of chains holding her to two pillars.“Damn that monster” She snarled under her breath in utter realization. It was none other than Bradley’s doing.She was about to yell for him when she noticed she was not the only one in the room as she could hear pain whimper coming from the corner."Is anyone here?" Beth asked but as usual, her echo replied to her instead but it didn’t stop her as she was certain she wasn’t alone.From the cracked walls, she could see another being had also been chained beside her and from all indication, it was a male being.His head was hanging low and she was unable to get a glimpse of his face but something tells he
“What did he ever did to you? Just what! You fucking killed his pregnant mate and you stand here to talk about the pain he ever caused you? Are you ducks insane?” Elizabeth couldn’t help but yelled at him." You're the real monster and I hate to think that at some point in my life I ever called you father!" Beth yelled angrily and Bradley let out a chuckle.“You are no daughter of mine, Elizabeth. And what I did to that monster was nothing compared to what his uncle did to me” Her eyes narrowed at his out burst.*What are you talking about?”The older man took a few steps closer, his eyes now fixed at the one seated before him but he made no attempt to touch her, instead he came to a pause before her, his head slightly tilted to the side to stare at the fading scar around her neck.“You got marked already?”She gave a shrug, “Asher is my mate so yes, we were going to make it official before you showed up and ruin it all so I’m warning you to take me back before its too late”"You’re
Elizabeth's eyelids parted ways rather slowly before she let out a yawn and tried to turn or stretch but she noticed she found difficulty in doing that. Her hands and feet were bind together in an uncomfortable way, restricting her from doing so.With her eyes darting around in panic, she noticed she was no longer in the ceremonial room but someplace strange and unfamiliar. The room itself small and completely dim. Only a ray of light was filtering in through the glass window."Where the hell am I? Where is Asher and every other person?" Beth asked herself as she tried pulling herself into a sitting position on the wooden bed she was placed on."What happened to me?" Beth asked confusingly and just then, memories from the previous night start to floor back into her mind and she let out a gasp.The last thing she could remember was kicking Asher out of her room before the ceremony only to be confronted by his presence again, at least that was what she thought when she heard shuffling
“He took her. He fucking took her from me”"What is the problem? Did anything happen to Beth?" Alex asked as he watched Asher squeezed the piece of paper between his palm."Oh my God! I knew it. I knew something terrible has happened" Izzy let out in panic as she continued to gasp with tears in her eyes. Alex quickly gathered her into his arms before she could crumble to the floor.“Asher will get her back so put yourself together, Izzy. We will get her back” Alex assured her and she nodded even though she was still far from putting herself together."where were you when Beth was taken away? I thought I asked you to stay by her side at all times?" "I’m sorry Alpha but I didn’t mean to leave her even for a second but she wanted me to make sure the baby was fine and I just left” Izzy said as her tears began trickling down her cheeks."Where is my Son?" Asher suddenly asked as he turned to face them, his dark eyes even darker as he stared at both his Beta and Izzy."What?” She croaked o
Asher moved closer but Beth stepped backwards then paused, her lips twisting slightly."What's the matter? Is everything okay with you?" Asher asked softly, studying Beth closely as he continued to advance towards her."Don't tell me you broke in through the window?" "Yes I did, I missed you badly and decided to come and check on you." Asher said and Beth released a breath she never knew she had been holding in."You're so unbelievable Asher, I got scared and thought it was some intruder." Beth said.Asher filled up the space between them and pulled her into his arms with a sigh escaping his own mouth."Even if it was the intruder, I will come to your rescue.?" Asher said with a chuckle before pulling away slightly to stare at Beth's cute face."I am okay, just missing you and Sam. Have you seen him?" "Yeah, Izzy is really taking good care of him." "I am relieved seeing you. I can't still come to believe that we are finally getting married." Beth said smiling widely and Asher kiss
"Just give me the chance to see her and ask for forgiveness, I have really wronged her and I would be at ease if she forgives me." "Okay, you can see her. Alex will go with you," he said with a nod and Alex obeyed immediately. "She must have decided to change as Beth guessed." Asher thought as he watched them leave his sight. Alex had a grime look in his eyes as he took her to Beth's room and left so they could have space to talk freely. Kara knocked softly on the door,"Who is it?" "It's me Kara" She replied hesitantly and there was total silence after that before she heard footsteps heading towards the door and she took a step back and waited.Beth opened the door slowly and was surprised to see Kara with a few of her bags. "Can I come in?" Kara asked politely and Beth couldn't help but narrowed her eyes further at her .At the back of her mind, she wondered why Kara of all people is being polite to her? "Sure… sure you can," Beth stuttered and Kara walked in."I know you're
°°later that Night °°Beth lay in between Asher’s arm, her face buried into his side as he wrapped a protective arm around her small frame, holding her to his large body."So what happened next?" Beth asked, enjoying the story Asher was telling her about his late wife, Macy.Asher let out a sigh, not sure if he wanted to continue telling her about his late wife but somehow talking about everything that had happened had somehow gotten them close."Macy didn’t deserve to die the way she did. She was the sweetest and most selfless I have never met and your father took that from me." Asher said and Beth sighed before peering into his face."Why haven't you gotten him all these while? Is he really that invisible?" Beth asked curiously."Your father is a wise and cunning man, he can't keep running away from me forever. I will surely get to his hideout one day." Asher said and exhaled."Let's stop talking about him, I get sick hearing about matters related to him. Let us talk about us and ou
“You can do anything you put your mind into, Elizabeth. Just remember everything I have told you and you are a step to winning” Asher said and offered her his hand and she took hold of it. Without much as a warning, she pulled him back down and Asher landed on the floor beside her.Asher let out a chuckle at the unexpected reaction.“I guess you were paying attention”“You bet I was. Now let spar once more” Beth suggested, getting back on her feet and Asher did same while she quickly got into position.°° Day of the fight °°The arena of the fight was already crowded when she walked in with Izzy by her side, her eyes met with Asher's and the latter nodded positively. "I didn’t think you would come but since you are already here, I have an offer for you so it's better to grab this opportunity now before it's too late. Withdraw from the fight right now and I will give you a chance to become Asher's mistress." Kara whispered behind Beth and the latter smiled.“How about you take that sa
