Alpha Asher’s POVI swallowed hard. My blood was next?... What did he mean?I turned around quickly, only to be greeted by the sight of nothing. “Hello… is someone there?” the little pup that I was whispering to.The woods I was in were so silent that I could hear myself. My whisper had turned to a loud echo. It frightened me.A cold wind blew through where I was. It came too suddenly and slowly. Along with it, came music. I was sure I had heard a woman sing, or maybe it was a figment of my imagination, I just couldn’t tell.“Helloo…” Again. No one. I turned away from the old haunted hut and began to walk back through the path I had come from. With everything I had seen so far, I didn’t feel the need to be adventurous anymore. I just wanted to go home.My steps were fast and orderly. I tried to calm my young self for as long as I could, yet, my mind was chaotic.My feet arched in pa
Arabella's POV I opened my eyes to see myself being carried somewhere. The bright lights lit up the hallway and I could see the bulbs moving as they dragged the wheelchair I was in. "Get ready to have everything laid out. We'll be moving in, in five" was what I heard someone say beside me. I slowly turned to see what was happening. "Who.. who .. are.. you?"I stammered. "What's going on?" The man in a white coat asked me to take it easy. He hushed me and then asked me to take a deep breath. "It's going to be alright, you just need rest. We'll take care of the rest, Luna". I could not understand a thing. "Take care of what?!" My lips felt heavy but I was still trying to talk. "Someone get me some shots. I need to administer them now!" The man yelled. Someone pushed me forward while he left me alone and grabbed a couple of white gloves presented to him by another woman in blue scrubs. Getting information from him was exhausting so I decided to make a mental picture of what was
Alpha Asher's POV The rogue still had me in his hand. My drowsy eyes tried their best to still open while he sucked my blood but they were almost failing. I remembered it like yesterday.I was losing my little self and fast too. My chest rose and fell slowly. I wanted to struggle but the little I knew already, if I fought more, I would lose more blood. What was disheartening was that the creature had my father's face.It made contact with my eyes and smiled at me as it drained me of my energy. He even gave me a mean grin and a wink. "Get off my son".My eyes raised themselves to see my father pushing him off my body.The rogue nearly tore my arm off my body as he had a mean grip on me with his teeth.Father did not relent, he went further to attack."You have no right to try that!" He pushed further and banged the rogue with his foot, on his face. A little more nudge and the rogue's teeth left me.He peeled his lips off me and forcefully turned to attack my father.Father evaded
Asher's POV:I was still deep in thought when my phone rang. I pulled it out of my back pocket, while I tried to wipe my eyes. The memory of everything I had done and how much my mother hated me for that left me a little sour and teary.I looked at the dark screen which lightened up in my face."Beta"My second in command was calling."Whatsapp?" I pressed the cell phone to my left ear while I used my right hand to continue wiping my eyes."What is going on?""The Luna is having a baby. You need to come as soon as possible" he said. He sounded like he was nearly out of breath by the way he was speaking."Calm down, what hospital is she in?" I asked again.He explained it and told me he would send it over text again. "Alright. I'll be there in a few minutes".I hung up and turned to look at the men who were already inside the room I was in."My mate and the daughter of the alpha of this pack is on her way to welcoming a child. I must go there." I stood up and dusted myself."I heard
Arabella's POV"Where am I?" I moaned, trying to stretch but it was like I was tied down to wherever I was. Using all my strength to push out the triplets only made it fucking worse."Anyone there?" I whimpered, like a pained little wolf but no one answered. Just the silence."Asher? Ava? Claire? Mary? Anyone?" I called over and over again. "Did I not make it?""You did my love," I heard a familiar voice behind me but I couldn't see him."Father?" I whispered into the air and I felt his scent envelope me. "Are you there, dad?""Yes, love. I'm always with you," he answered. "I've missed you." He said and one by one I felt the restraints being cut. "You can't succumb to death, my daughter," I heard his voice but when I turned around he wasn't there. "You have three children waiting to see their mother. It's not your time yet.""They're alive?" I sobbed, as I already thought I died in labor. "Yes, dear. And don't worry, I'll come visit you soon.""Visit me soon?" I mumbled then asked.
Jeremy's POV"What happened?" I growled, massaging my head. I looked around but I was surrounded by darkness. "Is this the afterlife? Or am I still in the mortal realm?" I questioned myself, now sitting on the stone bed on which I once laid."There's only one way to find out," I grumbled and placed my feet on the cold floor. Although I was a bit wobbly at first, I got the hang of it and headed to what I thought was the entrance. After using my fingers to examine, I figured I was in a tomb so I summoned all the strength I had to push the stone away. The brightness of daylight made me close my eyes and run back in. Shielding my eyes from the intense sunlight, I stumbled out of the tomb, my vision gradually adjusting to the bright surroundings. The air was crisp, and the warmth of the sun felt soothing on my skin after what seemed like an eternity in that dark enclosure.I stretched my arms overhead, relishing the freedom of movement. "Well, that was an unexpected awakening," I mumble
Alpha Asher's POVAfter deciding on a name, we decided to let Arabella rest for a few days before the celebration. Although she healed within twenty-four hours, I didn't want to face that again, seeing her pale and cold in my hands. I told her to stay on bed rest for a week.Now that she's healed and fine, it was time for the feast, and now I was walking down the stairs with my Luna, ready to announce the name of our heirs to the whole pack gathered outside.The moon hung high in the night sky, casting a silvery glow over the clearing where the pack had gathered. The air was filled with a mix of anticipation and joy, the scent of grilled meats and the crackling of a large bonfire enhancing the festive atmosphere.As Arabella and I descended the stairs, the pack members hushed in respectful silence. The flickering torches illuminated their faces, revealing a sea of expectant expressions. Mary, her sister, and the rest of the coven standing on the side, exchanged knowing glances, hintin
Alpha Asher's POV"Come out!" I ordered ready to attack but a lady emerged from the shadows, a basket of clothes in her arms."Alpha Asher," she greeted with a nod, her voice carrying a mix of respect and wariness. "I was just heading to the stream. Is everything alright?"I studied her carefully, the recent discovery of the gruesome scene still fresh in my mind. "Yeah, it's fine. You just startled me a bit," I answered and she just stared at the ground."Have you noticed anything unusual or weird happening around here lately?"Her brow furrowed slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face. "No, Alpha. Everything seemed normal to me. Why? Is something wrong?"I sighed my instincts on high alert. "It's nothing. Was just confirming."Her eyes widened in concern. "Is something coming, Alpha? Should we be worried?""No. But be cautious, but for now, continue with what you were doing," I advised, not wanting to incite panic. "As the royal family hasn't moved in yet, other packs might want
