The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 54
Elena watched him closely, something nagging at the back of her mind. His posture was tense, his eyes stormy, but there was something else—something off. Then, it hit her. His scent. It was still Asher, still the mix of pine and warmth that had become familiar, but now… there was something bitter laced within it. Alcohol. Elena stiffened. "You’re drunk." Asher flinched, his expression darkening. "I’m not." "You smell like it." A muscle in his jaw twitched. "I had a drink. That’s it." "Why?" He exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck. "Because I’m an idiot." Elena didn’t respond. Because you scared yourself, she thought but didn’t say. Asher stepped closer, his voice dropping. "I don’t expect you to forgive me overnight. I know words aren’t enough. I just—" He hesitated, his hands clenching at his sides. "I need you to know that I’m sorry. And that I’ll prove it to you." She believed him in spite of what happened. She is hold onto the man who had mad

The moment Elena stepped into the pack house, an eerie silence fell over the room.Every conversation halted. Every pair of eyes turned toward them.Elena felt it instantly—the weight of their stares, the tension thick in the air. It wasn’t just curiosity. It was something more.Judgment.Whispers started, hushed but sharp."That’s her.""Did you hear what happened?""I can’t believe she’s still here after—"Elena's fingers twitched, her breath hitching. The walls felt like they were closing in, the air too thick to breathe.Then—She felt warmth.Strong. Steady. Unwavering.Asher’s hand.Before she even realized it, she had reached for him, her fingers tangling with his.He didn’t hesitate.His grip tightened around hers, solid and protective.Then he growled.A low, dangerous sound that rumbled through his chest, reverberating through the room.The whispers died instantly.Every gaze dropped.The pack knew better than to challenge their Alpha.Elena swallowed, forcing herself to bre

"Elena." She flinched at the sound of her name, her fingers tightening around the blanket draped over her lap. The room was dimly lit, the soft glow of the bedside lamp casting shadows along the walls. Asher stood in the doorway, his presence overwhelming, even when he wasn’t trying to be. His voice was softer than usual, careful, as if he was afraid that speaking too loudly would shatter her. "Can I come in?" Elena swallowed, forcing herself to look up at him. She wanted to say no. She wanted to tell him that she needed space, that she wasn’t ready to face him yet. But the words wouldn’t come. She nodded once. Asher stepped inside, closing the door behind him. The room suddenly felt smaller, the air charged with an unspoken tension. For a while, neither of them spoke. Elena dropped her gaze to her hands, her mind racing. Finally, Asher sighed. "I know you're scared of me." Her head snapped up, eyes widening. "I—" "You don't have to lie." His voice was gent

Elena sat up, rubbing her face. Her mind was a mess, her emotions tangled in ways she couldn’t begin to sort out. She needed a distraction. Reaching for the sketchbook at the foot of her bed, she flipped to a fresh page. The charcoal felt familiar in her fingers, grounding her as she let the lines form without thinking. Soft strokes, careful shading—her mother’s face slowly took shape. It had been years since she had seen her mother, but she still remembered the gentle curve of her smile, the kindness in her eyes. Would she even recognize me now? A lump formed in Elena’s throat. Her mother had left. Not by choice, but that didn’t change the fact that Elena had been alone ever since. She exhaled, forcing herself to focus on the sketch. Outside, the pack house was eerily silent. It wasn’t normal. Usually, there were voices, footsteps, movement. But tonight, it was as if the entire house had gone still. Were they afraid? Elena’s stomach twisted. Are they afr

With trembling fingers, she turned the handle and cracked it open. A man stood there, taller than Asher but with a more relaxed posture. He had dark brown hair, neatly trimmed, and warm hazel eyes that held no threat. Still, her body screamed at her to run. Grayson seemed to notice her hesitation because he took a step back, giving her space. "Sorry if I startled you," he said, his tone gentle. "I just wanted to check in." Elena’s fingers tightened on the doorframe. "Why?" Grayson blinked, clearly caught off guard by the question. "Because you’re our future Luna," he said simply. The words hit her like a slap. She stiffened, her throat going dry. "I’m not—" "You are," Grayson cut in, but his voice remained calm. "Whether you believe it or not." Elena dropped her gaze, unsure how to respond. --- Grayson’s Kindness Grayson shifted, rubbing the back of his neck. "Listen, I get it. You don’t know me. You don’t trust me. But I want you to know that I’m h

Guilt and Self-Punishment :"This isn't going to solve anything, Asher."The voice barely registered over the sound of his fists slamming into the punching bag. His knuckles burned, his muscles ached, but none of it was enough. The pain wasn’t enough."You’re bleeding," his mother said, stepping closer.Asher ignored her. He threw another punch, his vision blurring as the weight of everything crashed down on him. Rachel. Elena. The way Elena had flinched when he growled. The casual way she had forgiven him, like she hadn’t really meant it.His mother sighed. "You think punishing yourself will change what happened?""Leave it alone, Mom," he muttered, his voice rough."No, I won’t. Because this isn’t just about you."He clenched his jaw, stepping back, breathing heavily. Sweat dripped down his forehead, mixing with the blood on his knuckles."Hurting Rachel was wrong," she continued. "Even if she deserved it, even if you were protecting Elena, you lost control. And Elena saw that."Th

"This isn’t about making peace with Rachel," his mother continued, stepping closer. "It’s about showing Elena that you are in control of yourself. That you are the man she can trust, not the man she fears." Asher clenched his jaw so hard it ached. He didn’t want to do this. Every instinct in him rebelled against it. But the image of Elena—hesitant, afraid, unsure—flashed through his mind. If this was what it took to mend the cracks between them… "Fine." The word was forced, bitter, but final. His mother nodded approvingly. "Rachel is still at the pack doctor’s office. Go now." --- The scent of antiseptic burned Asher’s nose the moment he stepped inside the infirmary. The place was eerily quiet, save for the faint sound of pages turning at the front desk. The nurse looked up, startled to see him. Her eyes widened slightly, but she quickly composed herself and gestured toward the back. "She’s in the second room on the left." He nodded, pushing forward. His footsteps

Elena’s breath hitched, and her fingers curled into the fabric of her shirt. "No! He—he just brought me food, that’s all." Asher’s fists unclenched slightly, but his wolf was still restless, still clawing to the surface. "Why didn’t you call me?" His voice was rougher than he intended. Elena hesitated. "I didn’t think it mattered." A sharp pang of something unfamiliar struck his chest. "It matters," he growled. "It always matters." Silence stretched between them, thick and suffocating. Then, finally, Elena sighed, stepping aside. "Do you… want to come in?" Asher didn’t hesitate. He stepped past her, inhaling her scent deeply, allowing it to drown out the traces of Grayson. It wasn’t enough. Nothing ever would be. And that terrified him."Why are you acting like this?" Elena’s voice was quiet, but there was an edge to it—a mixture of frustration and something else Asher couldn’t quite place. His jaw tightened. "You know why." "No, I don’t." She crossed her a

The world outside their little cocoon faded into nothing but heartbeats and whispered breaths.Asher's fingers brushed slow, teasing circles along Elena’s bare hip, drawing a soft gasp from her lips. His touch grew bolder, more deliberate, tracing the sensitive line of her waist, then venturing lower, making her body arch into him instinctively."Asher..." she whispered, breathless, her nails digging lightly into his shoulders.He chuckled against her skin, low and teasing. "What is it, beautiful?" he murmured, nipping playfully at the curve of her neck."You’re... you're teasing me," she said, half-laughing, half-whimpering, the sound laced with undeniable need.He lifted his head, eyes dark and full of wicked affection. "Maybe I am," he said, his voice rough with desire. "You drive me crazy... it’s only fair."Elena whined softly, bucking her hips up to him. "Please," she whispered, her voice cracking with longing.The simple word made Asher growl low in his throat, his restraint cr

A Love That Feels Like Home:"Asher, stop squirming," Elena giggled, trying to peel his shirt over his head as he wrestled with it like it was some wild animal."I'm trying!" he laughed, arms trapped above his head. "This thing’s possessed, I swear."She tugged harder, finally yanking it off with a victorious huff. His hair was a mess, cheeks flushed, eyes crinkling at the corners from laughter. Elena burst out laughing, dropping the shirt to the floor."You look ridiculous," she teased, running her fingers through his tousled hair, smoothing it down."You love it," he said, grinning crookedly, catching her wrists and pulling her closer."Maybe," she whispered, just as he ducked his head to kiss her neck. His lips brushed her mark tenderly, sending a shiver racing down her spine."You definitely do," he murmured against her skin, his voice low and teasing.Elena hummed, threading her fingers into his hair again, tugging playfully as he trailed slow kisses up her jawline. The air betwe

The door creaked open again.Elena turned, expecting Genevieve or maybe Dawn—but it wasn’t either.It was Asher.And he froze in the doorway.Time, breath, and sound—all of it stilled.He didn’t move.Didn’t speak.Just… stared.His eyes drank her in from head to toe. The white dress that floated around her like morning mist. The soft fall of her hair. The quiet strength in her posture. The way her lips curved just barely, nervous but glowing.“Elena,” he finally whispered, voice low and awestruck.Her heart stuttered.He stepped in slowly, reverently, like approaching something sacred. His gaze never left her face, as though he was afraid she’d vanish if he blinked.“Say something,” she breathed, voice barely above a whisper.“I would,” he said, his throat tight, “if I could remember how to speak.”That made her laugh, soft and breathy.He reached her then, his hands lifting but not yet touching—as if still trying to believe she was real. “You look like a dream I’ve had my whole life
The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 130
Elena stood in front of the mirror, still and breathless. The ceremony was just hours away, but her stomach churned like she’d swallowed a storm.The room was quiet now. Genevieve had left to help with final touches. Dawn had skipped off with her flower crown. Even the hum of chatter downstairs felt far away.It was just her and the mirror.And fear.Her fingers trembled as she traced the edge of the white dress—soft chiffon with intricate embroidery along the neckline. The fabric hugged her lightly, flowing around her like mist. She should have felt like a vision.Instead, all she could see were memories pressing through the glass.The echoes of bruises that had once marred her skin. The hollow eyes she used to avoid in her reflection. The voice in her head that still whispered: You’re not enough. You never were.Her breath hitched.What if they see the truth beneath the silk? What if they see the scared girl still hiding under the skin of a Luna?She turned from the mirror, pressing

Elena stirred the next morning to the soft chirping of birds and the golden warmth pouring through the trees. Asher had wrapped himself around her during the night, their bodies curled together beneath a blanket of moss and dappled sunlight. For the first time in her life, she didn’t wake up flinching.Instead, she smiled.“Morning, Luna,” Asher whispered against her shoulder, his voice still thick with sleep.Her heart flipped. That title… it used to scare her. Now it sounded like a crown placed gently on her head, not one she had to earn by pain—but by love.Asher kissed her cheek before pulling himself up. “We should head back soon. Your ceremony's tonight.”Her breath caught. Nerves fluttered in her chest. Ceremony. People. Attention. Things she’d never felt comfortable with.And yet—she wanted it. For herself. For them.By the time they returned to the house, the buzz had already begun. Pack members moved in and out, carrying decorations, trays of food, and fabric-draped poles fo

"I think this is my favorite kind of silence," Elena whispered, her voice barely louder than the breeze.Asher turned his head slowly, his eyes glowing amber in the waning light. “The kind where we don’t have to say anything… but everything’s already understood?”She smiled faintly, eyes fixed on the sunset bleeding across the sky. “Exactly that.”The horizon was a watercolor of gold and soft lavender, bleeding into a dusky crimson that painted the clouds with fire. The lake mirrored it all—still, soft, endless. A hush had fallen over the world, as if nature itself paused to breathe beside them.“I used to hate sunsets,” Elena confessed, her fingers playing with a blade of grass. “They reminded me the day was over, and it meant going back into a night I couldn’t escape.”Asher’s brows furrowed, but he didn’t interrupt.“But now,” she continued, “I love them. Because I know what the night holds. You.”He reached for her hand gently, threading his fingers between hers. “The night belong

The forest began to thin, the trees spreading wider apart as the scent of water drifted to him—fresh, clear, kissed by wind. Asher slowed his stride, dark paws sinking into moss and damp soil as he followed the trail of delicate pawprints that shimmered faintly in the sunlight.Then he saw it.The lake.Still. Silent. Sacred.The water lay like glass, mirroring the golden sky overhead. Morning mist curled above its surface like a soft veil, and tall reeds swayed at the edges where dragonflies danced between blades.It hit him like a memory. One he hadn’t thought about in years.This lake—this exact lake—was where his father used to take him as a pup. Before the war. Before the loss. They would lie beneath the oaks and count the stars. His father had called it the heart of the forest, a place where the world stood still, where the bond between wolf and nature hummed the loudest.Now it whispered something else.Peace.And at its center—was her.Elena.She stood at the water’s edge, one
The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 126
Elena clung to him, her hands sliding through his hair, and her lips parting with soft gasps as Asher kissed her deeper, rougher—no longer gentle. Something was shifting.And it wasn't just the hunger in their kisses.“I feel… different,” Elena whispered breathlessly against his lips, her nails curling against his shoulders.“I know,” Asher murmured, panting as his forehead pressed to hers. “It’s the bond.”“No… not just the bond.” Her pupils flared golden, and her voice came out lower—more layered, like two voices overlapping. “It’s her. She’s waking up.”A growl curled in Asher’s chest. Deep. Possessive. “Leo’s awake too.”As if summoned, their wolves surged forward—raw, primal instincts crashing through their consciousness like a tidal wave. A heat swept over them, curling in their bellies, wild and unrelenting.Lena growled through Elena’s lips. The sound was soft but primal. Her golden eyes narrowed, and she gripped Asher’s jaw, kissing him with such fire he nearly buckled.Their

Elena finished the last bite of her eggs in silence, her fingers idly circling the edge of the plate while her thoughts lingered somewhere far beyond the small kitchen. Asher watched her, his hand resting lightly over hers, thumb rubbing soft, steady circles along her knuckles.“Do you think…” she started, hesitating, “that Genevieve ever regretted helping me?”He frowned, scooting his stool closer until their knees brushed. “No. Not for a second.”“She lost everything, Asher.”“And gained something far more valuable,” he said firmly. “Self-respect. Integrity. You.”Elena looked up, her eyes shining with quiet pain. “But I didn’t protect her.”“You were a kid,” he said gently. “You didn’t have the power to protect anyone—not even yourself. That’s not on you.”Her lip trembled. “But if she hadn’t stepped in... I don’t know who I would’ve become. Or if I would’ve made it at all.”“Then she changed your life. And I promise you, Elena, she knows that. People like her? They don’t act out o
