Beth POV.It was already dark into the night and Asher was still yet to return to the room. Beth sat by the sofa wondering if the Alpha was going to avoid her forever or return eventually. Even though she wanted him gone, she still couldn’t help but crave his presence in the room. She glance at the clock and sighed before getting up on her feet before making her way over to the bed.She crawled into bed and lay under the sheet, his scent immediately hitting her nose hard. She took a deep breath of it before exhaling slowly. She doesn’t know why but his aroma tend to calm the child within her whenever it was feeling restless.Minutes turned into hours as she lay there awake before she closed her eyes and was lured into a sound sleep with his pillow tucked into her arms.The next morning, She woke up and realized that Asher didn’t show up that night as the room was still the same way she last saw it last night and more so, his side of bed was still empty.She was saddened by this and ha
“And what do we have here?” She ask with that irritation in her voice still.Beth said nothing while her companion quickly relied the shewolf.“Hello, Kara” Izzy said respectfully.Elizabeth remained quiet, not bothering to say anything to reply her. If there was one person she detested with a passion, it was Kara.She noticed her presence really close and she was forced to look up and face her. “Hey hunter’s girl” She said with a chuckled before correcting herself. “pardon me, I mean, Elizabeth. The Alpha told me personally to call you that”Beth doesn’t know if she was telling the truth or not but the fact that she was calling her by that name then the chances of it coming from Asher is right there.And that usual look of hatred in her eyes is now replaced with something devious and Beth couldn’t help but feel that there was something Kara knew that she didn’t and that left her feeling somewhat uncomfortable especially if it has to do with Asher.She doesn’t know why the thought bo
Asher’s POV. Asher pushed the door to his room open, steeping in to find Elizabeth and Izzy talking before they went absolutely silent when they saw him. Without being told, he knew he was their topic of discussion. Asher could clearly see the pain and sadness in her eyes even though she was barely making eye contact with him. “Hello” Asher said to Elizabeth before turning to acknowledge Izzy with a nod. “Greeting Alpha” Izzy said respectfully before rising up to her feet with a slight bow at his direction. “Beth, I'll see you tomorrow. Please take care of yourself” Izzy said, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. “Thank you” Elizabeth smiled. She shut the door gently behind her, leaving the duo. Elizabeth sighed, getting up on her feet before walking towards her closet to change and probably shower as well. Asher watched her try to shrug her jacket off and decided to help when it got entangled with her hair but before he could reach out a hand to touch her, she yelled at him. “
Beth POV. Beth woke up with a gasp, heaving with sweat dripping down her face. She had just had a bad dream, a very bad one at that. At first, Everything was just a jumbled mess of memories and images that made little or no sense to her. Just then, as if struck by a thunderbolt, Elizabeth remembered what she had dreamt about as she yelp even more in panic. Asher had tried to kill she and her unborn child. In the dream, he has a dagger with him and was going to kill her and her child with it. Elizabeth shivered as she recalled his every move and even the look of hatred in his eyes. It was all so real, so real that she thought it was really the end. She had never seen Asher look at her that way before. The look in his eyes was one of pure loath and hatred, one so strong she knew if it had been real, he would have probably killed her. But then again, it was just a dream. Just then, she let out a deep sigh and glanced at his side of the bed, only to find it empty. Asher wasn’t ther
Asher was furious within himself as he continued to head towards his room. Kara really has some nerve going against him like that. He clearly gave her an order and she did the exact opposite.A smile tugged at the corner of his lip when he recalled Kara’s words some more. Elizabeth had really hit her on the face? Whoa, looks like his little miss wasn’t exactly as helpless after all.Hitting Kara that way is risky and at the same time brave but he still got to hand it to her. She didn’t allow herself get intimidated by the fact that Kara could hurt her really bad.Asher has always seen the fire in her eyes and know she is a fierce one. Being through a lot yet still tough on the inside like little crackless nut.The Alpha caught himself smiling even though as he thought about the hunter's daughter now under his care. He really can’t believe he was thinking in that direction but Elizabeth was starting to affect him too much. So much so that he can’t help but protect her at every second
Elizabeth woke up the next morning with a start. She lay still, trying to slow her erratic breathing to a halt while memories from last night flood into her mind just as slowly. She blinked once then twice. If she was breathing right at that moment then it means, She wasn’t death yet. Elizabeth continued to blink, now trying to adjust her eyes to the ray of sunlight filtering into the room. When she did, she was quite surprised to see Eva, the pack doctor beside her. She smiled down at Elizabeth whose face was masked in confusion. Asher stood beside her with a deep frown on his face, he avoided her eyes and Elizabeth could tell that he was feeling somewhat guilty. He should be, that was the reaction she expected from him. She gulped, looking away from him. There was a numb feeling within her and it stemmed from the fact that she was still having a slight pain in her stomach. “Hello, Elizabeth, how do you feel?” Eva asked. She gave Elizabeth’s hands a gentle squeeze, smiling ligh
“I’m worried about Elizabeth’s health” Asher muttered. He was seated by the high rocks, overseeing their lands with his Beta by his side who only turned to stare back at him, wishing he could elaborate further. “I don’t know if the medication Eva have her is working but the attack keeps getting worst” “Maybe you should take her to the city for a proper check up” Alex suggested and Asher’s head snapped at his direction. “No will do. It’s not like she is sick but the baby is trying to get used to her, hence the pain” Alex shrug, “Well then, I guess it’s no big a deal. Eva will make sure she doesn’t have anymore complications” Asher sighed, before speaking again. “I think too much stress is adding to her issue as well” Alex gave him a knowing look, “Whose fault is that?” “I had sex with Kara and Elizabeth got jealous and hit her on the face” Asher blurted. “Wait, what now?” Alex shirked and Asher simply shrug. “Yes she did and boy, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I was kin
Morning came quicker than expected with Beth waking up to find Asher still holding on to her just as tightly. She tried to untangle from him but he only snuggled even closer with incoherent words erupting his parted mouth. She let out a deep sigh and tried again but he held on even tighter. “Come on, Asher. I need to pee right now” She grumbled and heard him groan but still did not let go. “Let me go right now or I’m going to freaking pee on the bed” She threatened before letting go and even jumped off the bed she quickly struggled back on her feet. “You really have no chills” He murmured. Beth snorted at him and kept looking for her slippers. She sighed in relief when she finally found it and slipped her feet into it. “Hold on” Asher called at her, halting her as well. Asher stride over to where she stood with furrowed brow before sweeping her into his arms and began matching towards the bathroom. Instead of protesting, she clung onto his chest with another sigh. Her bladder
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
