Asher was on his way to see Alex but met him on the way, him too was heading to see his Alpha and give him a proper welcome than the one they had earlier.Somehow, Asher had come to the conclusion that the pictures Kara sent to him a few hours ago were just planned. With how Alex and Beth behaved, he is pretty sure nothing was going on between them unless they were pretending.Alex approached his Alpha with a boyish grin on his face and Asher pulled him into a quick shoulder hug chuckling."Welcome backing, Alpha" Alex chuckled, hugging him back with the same energy."Thank you. Let's look for some place and talk" Asher said after they pulled away and he turned and began to lead him away towards the field.They made it to the field and sat down and Alex felt uncomfortable and nervous and Asher couldn’t help but noticed it."Is anything the problem?" "Yes, I am sorry for not being competent. Beth almost got killed earlier and if you hadn’t showed up at the moment you did, I don
Back at the room, Beth felt restless after Eva had left her with Izzy and returned back to her clinic. She sat wondering what Asher and Alex were up to. She hasn't seen both for the past two hours and she wondered if something had happened.She hasn't seen Alex since the incident that happened a few hours ago. She was expecting to see him at least and know how he was faring since he was also attacked as well.Somehow she has gotten used to his presence. She really wants to say thanks to him for being by her side all through Asher's absence. "I hope you're happy that your man is back." Izzy broke the silence once she had laid sleeping Sam on his bed. She has been with Beth all through, not wanting to leave anytime soon. "Stop trying to tease me because it is not going to work." "Says a girl who missed Asher's presence badly all through his absence. I’m happy he is back to take care of you and your son, at least, the stumbling blocks are all gone so you just need to relax Ashe
“What?”“ I asked if you have any feelings for Alex” He questioned once more and Beth's countenance changed immediately."Well, I heard you the first time but I do not understand your question." “What the fuck do you not understand huh?” Asher let out, his voice louder than he intended and Beth was forced to take a step away from him.“Don’t make me ask you again, Elizabeth. Have you fallen in love with my Beta and wants to be with him or not”“No, of course not” Beth said as she broke down in tears, a feeling of frustration starting to take over. "You think your tears would sway me? I never should have trusted you. How cheap of you to go whoring yourself to Alex enough to charm him." Asher said without thinking and Beth's heart shredded into pieces. She couldn't take his words anymore as it stunk her ears and she slapped Asher so hard on his right cheek. The latter turned his face holding the affected area and Beth slapped the other even harder."I can tolerate and endur
“ I only went to Alex because I thought I could convince him to back off from the fight but I was wrong. He is just as bull headed as you are and it h_” She was cut off mid sentence as Asher’s lips came crashing against hers, shutting her up completely.Elizabeth was shocked at first as she only tensed up against him. His hands moved in behind her neck, pulling her closer as he deepen the kiss some more. His tongue tuck at her lips impatiently and she let him in and both their tongue met and danced in her mouth, leaving her breathless and melting up against him.Another minute passed before he finally brought their kiss to a stop but not before pecking her lips a little bit more before leaning back to stare into her still haze eyes.“So you love me?”Her hands quickly darted out to hide the embarrassed blush that had appeared on her cheek at the sudden question.She gave a curt nod."Why did you get mad when you saw I and Alex together, was it because you were jealous?" "Bec
Beth couldn't help but think about how life in the city would be like after being away for almost a year. Somehow, she has gotten used to staying in the pack and returning to the city only felt like a distance dream to her.She arrived there with nothing and bonded with a few people who genuinely cared for her in the mist of people who wanted her blood to be spilled.Even though it has been her dream to return, she still can’t help but feel sad about leaving. Especially now that things were starting to look good for her."Asher, what if we choose to stay" Beth asked quietly, staring back at him and Asher was surprised and he arched a brow at her."Are you going to stay?" Asher asked excitedly but his face fell when Beth gave him no answer. He really wished and prayed she would stay back, he wants her by his side. He also wishes for both of them to raise their son together. After some minutes of no reply said, he simply let out a sigh before allowing himself to sleep off. B
Izzy's face fell immediately."Why? Are you still scared? But, Asher is back to protect you and also the baby.""It's none of that. Asher has agreed to let me go home”“ Oh?”Izzy said sadly before nodding her head slightly.“ I guess that’s fine right? I mean, if it’s okay with Alpha Asher then I guess it’s fine”"Please don't go, I will miss you badly." Izzy pleaded and Beth sighed. "I have to Izzy, I spent all my life in the city, I am used to city life already so I think I should go back." Izzy said once more, trying to sound okay even though she was failing."But you have been with us for almost a year now. And it's your choice and I wish you good luck." "Thanks Izzy, I will miss you the most." Beth said and Izzy hugged her."I have something to tell you." Beth said and breaking the hug and Izzy wondered what she wanted to tell her."What?" "It's about Alex, I would feel guilty if I don't tell you." Izzy became curious at the mention of Alex, she thought it must be interesti
The day passes by daily and Beth got more worried as the fight day drew nearer. Beth was scared and continued to blame herself for everything. She couldn't help but feel guilty even though Asher has told her countless time that it wasn't her fault."Thinking about them?" Izzy asked as she dropped baby Sam in his cot.She has been by Beth's side for the past few days now and knows exactly when her mind is troubled by something."Yeah, I am just scared of what might happen if they get to fight. I won't forgive myself if anything happens to both or if any of them gets hurt." Beth said referring to Asher and Alex.Izzy sat beside her on the chair and patted her shoulders."You should worry less, they chose to fight over you and it was never your fault. Stop getting worked up and hope for the best because there's nothing you can do to stop them." Izzy advised and Beth placed her chin on her palm with worries written all over her face."I wish I can put and end to all these, the fight is a
The two wolves began running around the woods, one up ahead and the other catching up pretty well before racing side by side. Asher felt whole again. His burden was light and all his pain nearly forgotten as he was caught up in the moment.Things were suddenly starting to come together just like before he lost it all. They was a feeling of satisfaction that accompanied that very moment.They stopped in front of a lake and Beth was the first to transformed into her human form, Asher did the same.Beth felt vulnerable standing before him without any clothing on but before she could turn away, Asher quickly took her by the hand and Beth let out a surprised gasp."Mind if we have a wash in the water?" Asher asked and Beth thought for a while before giving a reply."It's been long I…" Asher jumped into the water before Beth could complete her statement."I wanted to tell you that it's been long I swam so I don't know what will happen if I try swimming again." Beth explained but got no repl
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
