The next day, Elizabeth woke up with a pounding in the head. Aside from the headache, her mood was dampen as well. Never has she felt so depressed and miserable all at the same time before. The memories of the previous day filtered through her mind as she dragged herself into a seating position on the bed.

To her surprise, Asher was still sleeping on the bed. In a brief moment, Elizabeth wished she could just strangle him and end everything right there and then. But as quick as the thought came, it also disappeared as well.

Despite everything that has happened, She knew she wasn’t a cold hearted killer like him and she would never succumb to strangling someone just to be free of him but that didn’t stop her eyes from glaring at him though as she stared at him, sleeping right next to her.

Asher looked very handsome as he slept, so peaceful like a new born but Beth doubt if his heart was nothing close to being blameless. His heart was made of stone and there was nothing she could do

    “And what will that change?” Asher asked with raised brow.“I don’t know but it’s a great way to start”“And if she doesn’t accept my apology?”Alex gave a half shoulder shrug, “If she doesn’t then you will have to be patient and keep apologizing till she does” “You don’t fucking get it do you?” Asher growled out in frustration. “it’s not about apologizing to her. This is far deeper and a lot more complicated. The execution is fast approaching and I don’t know if I can stop it and I don’t want to give her hope and then quash it because that would be worst”“No, worst would be going through with the damn execution and you know it” Alex yelled right back before he could get a grip on himself. “Look, Asher. I know you are the Alpha and has every right to do whatever but I’m just saying, maybe a death sentence is too big a punishment for someone who has nothing to do with what happened to Macy”At the sound of that name, Asher heard a ringing in his ears prompting him to shove his Beta h

    Asher had no idea how long he was asleep for but was jolted awake when he heard Elizabeth crying out in her sleep. At first he thought she was having one of those dreams where she would call out his name but turns out it wasn’t and she was somewhat in pain and calling out at him. “Fuck!, what’s happening to you” He asked breathlessly as he jerked into a seating position and stared back at her pained expression. “I can’t…I can’t_help me please, oh crap!” She cursed out before grabbing his arm tightly with nails digging into his flesh just as much. Asher was startled by her sudden reaction but the way her face scrunched up in agony told him it was serious as she kept on thrashing on the bed. His eyes moved from her and settle on the wall clock and realized it was just past midnight. Asher was beyond frustrated on what to do next as he watched helplessly while she groaned into his chest over and over again. “Elizabeth? What is it. Is it the baby?” She only whimpered in response be

    Beth's POV She stirred awake the next morning and found Asher lying next to her, a little frown cresting his face as he slept. Memories from last night start to flood her mind as lay trying to recall what happened. She lifted her hand to placed gently against her growing bump with a deep sigh. Last night ache was the worst she had ever felt before. Everything felt as though her stomach wanted to tear open. She shuttered slightly recalling the anguish she felt as she rolled into a seating position and made to stand up so she could empty her bladder when Asher shot upright and turned to face her. “Are you okay?” he asked suddenly, his voice still raspy from sleep not to mention the wild mess seating on top his head. “I’m fine. I just want to use the bathroom”“Okay” He said and then struggled back on his feet before reaching back down to carry her. She arched a brow at him, “What are you doing?” “You said you wanted to use the bathroom right? So c'mon” He said once again and made

    Beth sat there with hands placed against her laps while Asher continued to shuffle through his clothes for something to wear. She couldn’t help but glance back at him. The urge to do so especially having him so close and bare on the chest was unbearable as she let her eyes wandered across his back and down to his well structured buttocks. Beth could imagine herself spanking those bottom for real and having him growl in excitement but she was also aware it could only happen in her dreams. Asher was just not the one for her. He was only good to look at. Asher on the other hand had caught her staring and chuckled. Elizabeth gulped, looking away as she tried to control the fast rhythm of her heart. She didn’t intend for him to caught her staring but somehow she got carried away. Thankfully, Asher made no comment on it as she heard him ruffling through his closet, no doubt looking for some shirt and pant to put on. “You can look now” Asher told her with a smile and she caught herself r

    The next morning, Elizabeth woke up a lot better than she was the previous day. She hated to admit it but the treatment Asher had given her yesterday helped her a lot. She couldn’t help but think about how gentle he was which was a far cry from how he behaved normally, reminding her that he was only following Eva's instructions. “You’re awake” Asher said, walking out of the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around his narrow waist while he uses another to towel his hair dry. Elizabeth sat up despite the plans she had in mind to make him carry her to the bathroom. Thinking about it alone was enough to make her smile. Asher saw the smile on her face and wonder what’s about. “What’s with the smile?” “Nothing” she said with a shrug before scooting towards the edge of the bed even further. “It’s a good day, I will like to go out. I have been stuck in this room for days now” She quickly added. Asher stopped in death in his tracks at her mention of the out doors. He said nothing to re

    Alex waved at her goodbye once he was done talking to Asher and she waved right back. “C’mon, we have to get inside now” Asher said sternly and she knew better than to argue when he is in that mood. “Okay” she said and grab her basket of fruit. She too was staring to feel more than watched actually but telling Asher about it might mean she would never see outside again as he was ready acting insecure about her safety. He led her towards his chambers, hands in hands while she tries to make small talks with the man. Asher couldn’t help but smile at some of her jokes as they walk past a few pack members who kept throwing weird glances at her but couldn’t dare to make it obvious due to fear of how their Alpha might react. “Honestly?’’ Elizabeth asked just as they stepped into the room. Asher was telling her a story about when he was a little boy and how much he loved going to the stream during winter to bath in ice. She had no reason to doubt him. He is that harden, bathing in ice do

    Asher POV. After their little conversation that night. Asher went to sleep but couldn’t sleep. His mind was troubled and it was all thanks to what Alex had come to relay to him while he was at the garden with Elizabeth. It seems the elders are trying to move against him. Asher knew if he didn’t come up with a way out soon, he will have more than the elders to contend with. He could have ask his brother for help but knowing him and all he stands for, he'd be his last go to person. Try as he may. He just couldn’t get his mind to relax and allow sleep to lure him in. He glanced at the woman sleeping beside him and found Elizabeth to be fast asleep. He reached out a hand and brush some hair away from her face. She stirred in her sleep and crawl into his chest and he sighed in deeply and just lay still. The last thing he needed is to wake her up. Once she fell back into her sleeping rhythm once again, Asher continued to toss until he finally found sleep only to jerk awake and found th

    Beth's POV.Beth watched with hitched breath as Eva continued to check his pulse before she let out a sigh and turned to face them.“He seem more stable than before so I’m guessing the dose I gave him is working for him. So all we have to do now is watch him and see how he react, I mean, if at all he does”“Okay” Beth agreed with a nod before sniffing back her tears.“I have to go now but I will be back to check on him” “Okay. Thank you”While Alex walked Eva to the door, Beth stood beside Asher with fresh tears pooling at her eyes. She just couldn’t help but feel all this was her fault. If she hadn’t come out alone, Asher would have never been hurt.He got hurt because of her stubbornness and if he eventually survives this which she knew he would, he would never let her out ever again. That she was well aware of.She lifted a shaky hand to brush across the bandage on his arms gently. What if he didn’t arrived at the moment he did.

    It has been a month since the shooting incident with Bradley Lincoln. How everyone survived that day was a miracle.

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.
