Asher hurried off to Eva's house not exactly sure what could be wrong. Though he felt it in his bones, he just couldn’t place his hand on what could have gone wrong. Has she ran away? He wondered with a little frown but decided against that very thought as he practically forced his feet to hurry along. It wasn’t long before he arrived at the doctor's place and found everything to be the same, the only thing amiss was the sight before him as he stood at a safe distance and overlooking the occupied balcony.Asher couldn’t understand why his wolf felt threatened but before his gaze was Elizabeth and Alex laughing about God knows what. There was really nothing odd other than they were seating way too close for comfort.He wasn’t exactly bothered until Alex reached out a hand and brush her hair behind her left ear. Something stroke the Alpha at that moment. It wasn’t jealousy, it was a moment of confusion for him. Asher didn’t Just know how to feel about that very gesture as he continued
Beth was really glad that Alex came to see her. She was quite surprised that he came with lot of gifts, something she wasn’t expecting. What he brought were mostly food and a pillow for her aching.“How very wonderful, Alex” She muttered with a sigh before relaxing against the soft surface tucked in between her back.Beth imagined what her life would have been like if her fate had gotten entangled with Alex instead of Asher. She truly doubt he would have been looking for revenge and neither of them would be in that situation either.Even though she would have really loved for things to be different, she knew it would be and she is probably stuck with Asher until her fate is decided by him and his council members.Her thought wandered some more before her gaze settled back on the things Alex had brought her and couldn’t help but smile at how thoughtful he really was. Deep down, she secretly wished that it was Asher who had come to see her and brought her these giftsHe was the father
As the weeks went by, one after the other, Elizabeth’s friends went into labor. Now, she had seen first hand how they went into labor and it was scary to think she would undergo the same pain as well. She didn’t know what to expect before but now she does. She wished with all her heart that when it came to her turn, it would be painless but then again, she can only truly wish. The first friend she had made, Alana fell into labor the previous day. It was a long one and Beth feared that her friend wouldn’t be able to pull through but she did and when she did, she brought along a beautiful baby girl. Her name was Sally and she asked if she could hold her and she said yes and so she did. Holding Sally in her arms was the most beautiful feeling she could have ever imagined of having. She was so fragile and precious and at that moment, she knew she and her unborn child must leave there alive and it doesn’t matter who she would have to put down but she will. She desperately wished she co
Asher pulled her closer and she eagerly wrapped her hands around his neck, bringing her lips to his but Asher could never let himself lock lips with her. It was her body he needed and he was going to have it but on his own terms as usual. He quickly pushed her against the sofa and she let out a chuckle. This was all she wanted. His roughness and cock between her core. He may not be gentle but it was still worth the stress, she was happy. Asher completed her like no man had ever done and no matter what happens, she would never give up on him. She knew she’d be a fool to let the hunter's daughter have the last laugh. Kara didn’t care if Elizabeth was carrying his child. He doesn’t love her and that’s all the mattered and once she put to birth, she would be gotten rid of and she would be around to occupy her space at his life like she should. He pulled down the straps of her bra, freeing her breasts from the cup. The full mold filled his hands and he couldn’t help but squeeze at it.
Pain. Lot of pain was the first thing that hit Elizabeth as soon as she went into labor. It was a deep searing pain that left her gasping for breath. The sensation she was feeling now was something she had never felt before. It just felt like her stomach was about to rupture, as she lay twisting on the floor in her room. No matter how much she tried to find a comfortable position on the floor, she could never adjust to the new feeling that always seemed to leave her breathless at every five minutes intervals. “Eva” Elizabeth cried into her hands. Elizabeth knew that labor would be very painful. She has seen other women go through it before but she didn’t expect it to hurt this much. Her whole body was cracking form every single joint, starting from her hip down to her legs. “Crap! Oh crap!” Elizabeth cried even more. Another minute past before the door burst open and Eva hurried inside with two more guards trailing her from behind. “Eva?” Beth called and Eva quickly knelt bes
Asher wished there was something he could do to ease the pain Beth was feeling. She felt weak, tired and spent. He glanced at Eva, hoping for some sort of explanation on why this delivery was taking longer than expected. He couldn’t catch her eye because she was so focused on making sure Elizabeth delivers the baby all well and good. What he wanted to say was something he couldn’t voice out because he didn’t want Elizabeth to hear it. Asher couldn’t deny the fact that he was getting scared. He wasn’t expecting any of this and he really wished that there was no problem. This was getting too long and even though he had no knowledge about birth deliveries and all, he knew that this was getting too damn long. For the first time since his wife died, he was feeling scared. That gut feeling fear that makes him want to scream into the night. He hadn’t felt this scared in a very long time. It just seemed like a cloak of fear covered every part of him and took a strong hold in his heart. As
“it’s a boy…oh my God, Asher. It’s a boy. You have a son” Eva cried even more as he took hold of the crying infant before wrapping him up in a towel before handing him to Asher.While Asher took hold of the baby, Elizabeth dozed off with exhaustion. Everything that took place right after that moment she gave birth, she had no idea as she was completely passed out.More minutes went by before Elizabeth fluttered her eyes open as she tried to get used to the bright light that filled the room. Even from where she lay, she realized she had been transferred to another room. A much bigger room than the one she had delivered in.Beth closed her eyes for another minute, just breathing in the warm, fresh air that cascaded around the open windows. She noticed her pain was gone and she could finally breathe again and then it hit her.Her child.She hasn’t seen her child yet.“My child” She croaked out loud as she struggled to get out of bed and go in search of him, thinking the very worst only t
Asher continued to watch the exchange between mother and son with hitched breath. That moment was something he never imagined. The Alpha couldn’t believe how much fate had played with him, up until that point. The children he had always wanted was with his late wife. Lot of them and they were really going to have them. Not once did he ever imagined it would be with someone else, much less a Lincoln bloodline. And now he does and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The way Elizabeth held him protectively against her chest, just seemed like the baby was the only thing that mattered to her and he could totally understand it. Even before she delivered, she had told him times without number that she would protect the child with everything she had and so far, Asher had seen the look of determination and devotion in her eyes which could only be found in a mother that truly loves her child. Elizabeth was a fierce woman with an air of energy around her that was easily noticeab
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
