The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 56
"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

"I never wanted to see you like that." Elena’s voice trembled, raw and exposed. She could barely force the words out, her throat tight with the weight of everything she had been holding back. Across from her, Asher stood frozen, his expression a mixture of frustration, regret, and something deeper—pain. "Elena," he started, his voice low and careful. She shook her head, wrapping her arms around herself like she was trying to hold herself together. "You don’t understand." Asher stepped forward, just a fraction, but she instinctively took a step back. That small movement nearly broke him. His wolf howled in agony at the sight of his mate recoiling from him. "I would never hurt you," he said, his voice desperate now. "Not you. Never." Elena’s breath hitched. "It’s not just about me, Asher." He clenched his jaw, his hands balling into fists at his sides. "Then what is it about? Because all I did was punish someone who hurt you—who deserved it." Elena’s head snapped u

His brows pulled together. “What’s not?” “That you have to be so patient with me. That you have to keep proving yourself when you *shouldn’t* have to.” She shook her head, frustration and guilt tangling inside her. “I *know* you’re not him, Asher. I know that. But sometimes, it’s like my body doesn’t. It reacts before I can stop it.” His jaw clenched. “That’s not your fault.” She laughed bitterly. “It feels like it is.” “It’s not.” His voice was firm now, unwavering. “Elena, none of this is your fault. Not how you feel. Not what he did to you. And definitely not the way your body reacts to certain things. You don’t owe me anything—not your trust, not your comfort, *nothing*.” He paused, his eyes searching hers. “But I want to be here. If you’ll let me.” *Her chest ached at his words. How could he say things like that? How could he be so patient, so steady, when she felt like a storm barely contained in fragile glass?* She exhaled shakily. “I don’t know how to do this.” “

Elena watched Asher disappear down the stairs, the warmth of his body still lingering on her skin. But something gnawed at her chest—a flicker of unease. The moment he’d sat up, she’d seen it in his face. That storm behind his eyes. And now, alone in the quiet room, that image refused to leave her.She sat up slowly, wrapping the blanket around herself tighter. Her fingers brushed the mark on her shoulder, still tingling faintly from his touch, but her thoughts were no longer anchored in the bliss of their morning.___________ Elena’s Concern“Asher?” she had murmured earlier, when his expression had shifted—when the relaxed man she woke up with suddenly seemed a thousand miles away.“I’m fine,” he’d said too quickly. Too flatly.She’d reached for his hand then, but he’d gently pulled away, avoiding her gaze.“I’ll go make breakfast,” he’d mumbled, already halfway off the bed before she could press further.Elena wasn’t naive. Something had rattled him. And she hated the distance it

Awakening in Love:“Asher,” Elena whispered groggily, her voice a soft rasp in the quiet morning air. “Are you staring at me again?”Asher smirked, brushing a strand of hair away from her cheek. “Guilty. You make it hard not to.”She peeked one eye open, still nestled against his chest. “That’s creepy, you know.”“Is it creepy if I’m admiring the woman I love?” he murmured, pressing a light kiss to her forehead.Elena’s eyes fluttered open fully this time. She smiled—lazy, content. “You’re lucky I love you back.”“I know,” he said, grinning. His hand slid down to trace the outline of her mark, his thumb moving gently over the sensitive skin. “I’m really damn lucky.”She sighed and nuzzled into his chest. “It’s cold.”Without hesitation, Asher tugged her even closer, wrapping his arms around her bare body. “Better?”“Mmm,” she hummed, her eyes closing again.He chuckled softly, the vibrations rumbling through his chest. "You always do this."Elena peeked up at him, brow arched. "Do wh

Without a word, he turned, grabbed his discarded shirt from the riverbank, and draped it over her shoulders. The fabric was still warm from his body, carrying his scent. “Mine,” he murmured, voice deep and possessive. Elena shivered, though not from the cool night air. A flicker of amusement danced in her eyes as she looked up at him. “Possessive, aren’t you?” Asher smirked but didn’t deny it. Instead, he ran his fingers along the edge of the shirt, adjusting it so it covered more of her. “Damn right,” he said, voice husky. “And you love it.” Elena flushed, but she couldn’t deny the way her heart raced at his words. He reached down, grabbing her pants from where she had left them on the rock. Before she could protest, he crouched slightly and helped her step into them, his fingers grazing her thighs as he pulled them up.The simple act sent a thrill through her—not from lust, but from the intimacy of it.Once she was dressed, Asher cupped her face, running his thumb alon

Then, suddenly, he lowered her onto a smooth, flat rock near the water’s edge. Elena barely had a second to process before Asher leaned over her, his hazel eyes dark with something unreadable. “I’ve never wanted anything the way I want you,” he murmured, his hand brushing along her jaw. Her breath caught. “Asher…” His lips hovered over hers, their breaths mingling. “Tell me to stop,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “And I will.” But Elena didn’t want him to stop. Instead, she reached up, her fingers tracing the sharp lines of his jaw. “Don’t stop.” That was all he needed. Asher kissed her again, slow and deep, his hands roaming her body with reverence. Elena knew she was lost. But for once, she didn’t want to be found. For once, she wanted to let herself drown in him.Elena gasped as Asher’s lips trailed down her neck, his warm breath sending shivers through her. His kisses slowed, lingering on the sensitive spot where his mark should one day be. Her body tense

A Love Confession Under MoonlightThe Confession“Elena.”She heard her name through the soft ripples of water, but she wasn’t sure if she had imagined it. The moonlight shimmered on the river’s surface, casting a glow over Asher’s face, highlighting the intensity in his hazel eyes.“What?” she breathed, her heart hammering against her ribs.“I love you.” His voice was steady, unwavering.Elena froze. The words hit her like a tidal wave, knocking the air from her lungs. She stared at him, sure she had misheard, blaming the gentle rush of water distorting his words.“You… what?” she whispered, her pulse roaring in her ears.Asher didn’t hesitate. He cupped her face, his wet fingers grazing her cheeks. “I love you, Elena. I’ve loved you for longer than I even realized. And I don’t want to wait anymore.”Her breath hitched. This was unreal—impossible. No one had ever said those words to her. No one had ever meant them.“Asher…” she started, but she had no idea what to say. She could only

Elena splashed water at him, and he let out a dramatic gasp before retaliating, sending droplets flying around them. Their laughter echoed through the quiet woods, blending with the gentle ripple of the river. When they finally stilled, Asher cupped her face, his thumbs brushing over her cheekbones. "Elena," he murmured, his voice lower, more serious. "Hm?" "You’re everything," he whispered, his forehead pressing against hers. "Everything I didn’t know I needed." Elena swallowed the lump in her throat, overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of his gaze. For once, she didn’t shy away. Instead, she smiled, letting the warmth of his words settle deep inside her. Maybe—just maybe—she could let herself believe it.Asher smirked, brushing a stray droplet of water from Elena’s cheek. “You’re staring.” Elena blinked, feeling heat rise to her already flushed face. “I am not.” He raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. “Oh? So you weren’t just admiring me?” Elena scoffed, trying to fig

"Asher, I don’t have anything to wear," Elena said, crossing her arms over her chest. Asher smirked, the mischief in his eyes undeniable. "You’re wearing something now, aren’t you?" He gestured to her shorts and tank top. Elena’s lips pressed together, contemplating. The river was beautiful, its cyan surface shimmering under the afternoon sun, but the idea of undressing, even partially, made her hesitate. Asher noticed her apprehension and took a step closer, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "You trust me, don’t you?" His voice was soft, patient. "Of course, I do," she said without hesitation. "Then come in," he said simply. Elena bit her lip, the internal war raging inside her. She was tired of letting her past dictate her present. She had come so far. This was just another step. Asher, seeing her uncertainty, reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head in one smooth motion, tossing it onto the riverbank. Elena’s breath hitched as she to

Chapter: A Moment of Vulnerability and IntimacyA Sudden Surprise:“Elena.”Her name barely left Asher’s lips before he closed the distance between them, his hands framing her face as his lips met hers. The kiss was slow, deliberate—filled with an unspoken emotion that sent a shiver down her spine. It wasn’t rushed, nor desperate. It was something deeper. Something she wasn’t sure she could put into words.She sighed into the kiss, letting herself melt into his embrace. His warmth, his presence, it was intoxicating. But just as she was beginning to steady herself, he pulled away.Her lips parted slightly, confused by the sudden loss of contact. “Asher?”And then, to her complete shock, he reached down and pulled off his shirt in one fluid motion.Elena’s breath caught in her throat.She wasn’t sure what she expected, but seeing him like this—shirtless, the golden glow of the setting sun casting shadows over his well-defined torso—made her pulse quicken. She could see every ridge of mu

Elena tightened her grip on Asher’s hand, her thumb tracing small circles against his skin.“Your father… he sounds like an incredible man.”Asher’s gaze softened as he studied her, his hazel eyes reflecting something warm, something deep. “He would’ve loved you.”Elena’s breath hitched at his words. “You think so?”He nodded, brushing a stray curl from her face. “He always said strength wasn’t about how hard you could hit or how many battles you won. It was about how much you could endure.” He paused, his fingers ghosting along her jaw. “And, Elena, you’ve endured more than anyone I know.”Her throat tightened, emotion swelling inside her. She had spent so much of her life feeling weak, feeling like she was constantly struggling to stay afloat. But Asher—he saw her differently. Not as broken, not as fragile, but as someone strong. Someone resilient.Her eyes burned, tears threatening to spill. “Asher…” She swallowed, shaking her head. “I don’t even know what to say.”A gentle smile t
