Alex and Beth walked towards the grand hall with her emotions spilling all over the place. She didn’t know what to expect especially when it came down to the elders. Those bunch always have a way of leaving her stomach in a twist. It’s even worst that Asher is not there but Alex had assured her of his protection and all she could do at that point was trust that things would turn out well. It has to turn out well. For the sake of her baby, she has to get through their interrogation alive and go home. It took more than convincing for her to actually agreed for Izzy to watch him while they left. It was either that or carry the baby along and bringing her child anywhere close to those bloody monsters is something she would never do, instead, she had to trust Izzy to watch him with the full assurance that nothing would happened to her son while she is away. Just as they were about to walk in, Alex stopped abruptly. Beth has no idea what he was doing but she could tell he was sniffing t
Alex and Beth were both shocked to hear the Elders offer. She could only stare in disbelief at the faces before her.Elizabeth knew they were desperate but she never thought it would reach this extent of dethroning Asher as Alpha all in a bit to get to her.Was that how tasty they are for her blood? She wondered in her mind as she continued to wait anxiously to hear Alex response.So far, he hasn’t said a word causing her to wonder if he would even say no. Anyone in his shoes will want to become the Alpha of such a big and great pack.She continued to wonder in silence as she peered up at Alex as though she wanted to force words out of his mouth already."Think about it Alexandra, close your eyes and imagine seating on the throne, you don't have to wait for anyone's order, you can make whatever you want and whatever you say stands, all the people will be bowing down to you, think about such huge offer Alexandra." He said again."Why are you not saying anything, just hand her over to u
“I will leave if you want me to but I just need you to know how I truly feels. I do love you and that’s no jokes” Alex said once again with desperation.Elizabeth only stared at him in shock as memory from their conversation start to flood back to her mind. Alex had hinted about being in love with someone else, hence his reason for not considering Izzy.Not once did she imagined the person he was in love with to be her. It’s true he had always being nice and caring towards her but never did it occur to her that she was the one he wanted to claim.The thought of being claimed by him simply gives her the chills as she couldn’t help but put more distance between them.“Please say something, Beth. Would you give me a chance?” He asked quietly. His eyes filled with hope as he stares back at her.“I’m sorry but i only see you as a friend and a brother, nothing more." Elizabeth said, shaking her head."please listen to me, I know, all of these might sounds awkward but I don't care. I’ve alwa
The next day came sooner than expected and it was another glorious morning.Beth's eyelids decided to part ways as they flutter open. She let out a yawn and sat up on the bed. Her eyes went to her baby that lay beside her sleeping peacefully. She smiled at the little infant before placing a gentle kiss to his cheek affectionately. Her eyes beheld so much affection for him. Each day that passes she falls deeper in love with him. So much so that it hurt her to think she couldn’t get them both out of there.Elizabeth dream of a better life for her son. A life that was free of all the hate and pain that came with the being in a pack as such as that."I cherish you a lot, Sam. I promise not to let anyone hurt you. Not even your father when he comes back" She thought silently stroking his hair. Even though she hates to admit it, she still can’t help but think about Asher. There was something about having him around that she misses. Was it his sheer dominance or the fact that she can easi
Beth was on her way back to her room with her baby in arm when she notice someone standing in her way. It was Kara blocking her way.She tried by passing her but Kara blocked her again causing her to groan in annoyance."What do you want now? Why are you blocking my path?" Beth asked trying to be as calm as possible."What do I want you say? Are you really that naïve or just plain stupid" Kara retorted and Beth was shocked. "You know? I can tell you are having a really bad day and probably looking for who to vent to but I’m sorry to announce it to you but you are talking to the wrong person, Kara. So leave me alone and get out of my way" Beth said, trying to control herself. Her baby was very much asleep and doesn’t have the strength to wait around and waste time with someone like Kara."Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Beth looked at her with confusion written all over her face. What in the world is she up about right now?"What are you talking about? What should I be ashamed of
°° Somewhere in the city °°Asher is seated at his hotel room back in the city, shirtless. Only his dark ripped jean hanging around his waist when he got a call from one of his informant and he picked up at the first ring."Any new updates?" Alpha Asher asked the caller."I’m sorry Alpha but the guy trailing Bradley lost him and right now, he seem to have disappeared." His jaw only clenched tightly at those words. This is the second time Bradley is escaping and it’s to feel too common to be random. Someone must be ticking him off or he won’t be a step ahead each time."Aside from you and the rest, who else knew we were after his tracks?" Asher asked coldly, trying to keep his anger under control.“Just us, no one else” "Well, that might be the truth but Bradley escaping again is already fishy. You have a mole in your mist, so fucking fish him out or I will have your heads. Am I clear?” He asked darkly, his fingers clenching the device in his grasp tightly."Yes Alpha, I assure you I
°°Later that night °°Beth sat all alone in her room on her bed. Baby Sam was sleeping peacefully in his Cot. She had just finished breastfeeding him and lures him into sleep with sweet lullabies.She was in deep thoughts about the things that happened earlier that day like her wound drying up by itself without any treatment.She has been disturbed greatly. She asked herself so many questions but there was no one to give answers to them.Baby Sam made some noises and she rushed to his cot and saw him sucking his lips. She realized he wasn't deep in his sleep yet and had to pet him some more.She caressed his back gently for some minutes and went back to her bed after making sure he was sleeping peacefully.Her thought drifted to Asher for a moment and wondered if he was okay and wishes for him to be back already. Her cravings for him was getting worst by the day as she pulled a pillow with his scent into her chest tightly. A mental picture of the last moment they had shared together
"It's okay, you would be fine. I think you need to get treated immediately" Alex suggested and turned to Izzy."Please get the pack's doctor for me Izzy" Alex told her and Izzy did as she was told. Alex got more worried and wondered about the cause of her sudden sickness, there were no signs or symptoms which was really strange.He needs to ensure her safety and well-being. He promised to keep her safe and he can’t let anything happen to her Doctor Eva walked in with her tools while Izzy followed behind closely. Izzy rushed to baby's Sam cot and carried him. She began rubbing his back slowly and he stopped crying."What's wrong with her?" Eva asked as she hurried over to her side."I don't know, she has a high temperature but her body is shaking all over" Alex replied.Doctor Eva faced Beth and began asking some more questions."When did she start feeling this way?"Just some minutes ago," Izzy replied in a low tone."Minutes ago? It's weird. Please can you both excuse us?" Doctor
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
