The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 10
Elena's breath hitched. "You… want to stay?" Asher nodded, his expression unreadable. "Only if you’re okay with it." She hesitated. No one had ever stayed with her before. Her room had always been her sanctuary—her one place of solitude, away from the world. "Why?" she asked quietly. Asher exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Because I don’t want you to be alone tonight." Her fingers tightened around the blanket. He wasn’t demanding. He wasn’t forcing his presence on her. He was… asking. That, more than anything, made her chest ache. She swallowed. "I don’t—" She stopped herself, not even sure what she was about to say. Asher must have sensed her turmoil because he stepped closer, his voice soft but firm. "I won’t do anything you don’t want, Elena. I just… want to hold you. That’s all." Hold her? The thought sent warmth curling through her, foreign and unfamiliar. She shouldn’t want this. She shouldn’t let him in. And yet, against every instinct screaming

“You’re flinching from me.” Asher’s voice was low, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.Elena forced herself to meet his gaze, but the way his brows pulled together, the way his jaw clenched, made her stomach twist.“I’m not,” she lied.His sharp exhale told her he didn’t believe her.“Elena.” His voice dropped to something softer—something dangerously close to pleading. “Tell me who did this to you.”She shook her head, refusing to answer.Asher’s hands clenched into fists at his sides. He was losing patience, she could tell. But what was she supposed to say? That the people who were supposed to be her family had spent years making her feel worthless? That her own pack had treated her as nothing more than a punching bag?She had spent so long pretending her pain didn’t exist. Saying it out loud would make it real.“Elena,” Asher said again, this time stepping closer.She tensed before she could stop herself.And he noticed.His entire body went rigid, his eyes darkening. “You th

The air in the dungeon was thick with the stench of blood and sweat, the damp stone walls trapping the scent of suffering. Asher’s boots echoed against the cold floor as he descended the steps, his rage simmering just beneath the surface. He had left Elena reluctantly, forcing himself to walk away before his own emotions overwhelmed her. But every second since he had seen the way she flinched, the way she recoiled as if expecting a blow, had been eating away at him. Someone had broken her—had shattered her in a way that made her expect pain instead of protection. And Asher was going to make them pay. Nathan lay crumpled against the farthest wall of the cell, barely conscious, his once-arrogant expression replaced by swollen bruises and dried blood. His arms hung limply in the restraints, his body slumped in defeat. But as soon as he heard footsteps, his head lolled up, and a smirk pulled at his split lip. “Come to check on your little prize, Alpha?” His voice was hoarse, barel

Nathan let out a weak laugh, shaking his head. “And you call me the monster.” Asher didn’t answer. He just watched as the guards yanked Nathan back into position, shackling him once more. This wasn’t about vengeance. It was about justice. Nathan would never hurt her again. And if Asher had his way, neither would anyone else. --- The guards responded immediately, dragging Nathan back into position as Asher turned away. His rage hadn’t subsided. If anything, it burned hotter, searing through his veins as he stalked toward the next prisoner. Connor. Unlike Nathan, Connor had been spared no mercy. He had been beaten within an inch of his life, his wrists bound tightly with silver restraints that seared into his skin. His breaths were shallow, his body barely able to hold itself upright. But when Asher entered, Connor forced himself to look up, a twisted grin forming despite the blood caking his face. “Did she tell you?” His voice was barely a rasp, but the cruelty in i

“Elena! Where are you hiding?”Her mother’s playful voice rang through the house, filled with warmth and laughter.Elena stifled a giggle, pressing herself further into the small space between the couch and the wall. She was five years old, her heart racing with excitement as she peeked through the tiny gap, watching her mother’s feet move closer.“Hmm… maybe she’s in the kitchen,” her mother mused dramatically. “Or maybe…”Elena squealed as hands suddenly reached around, pulling her out of her hiding spot. Laughter bubbled up from her chest as her mother tackled her onto the soft carpet, fingers dancing against her sides in a merciless tickle attack.“No! No! I surrender!” Elena shrieked between gasps of laughter.Her mother grinned, finally relenting, and brushed a few strands of hair from Elena’s face. “Gotcha.”Elena beamed up at her, chest heaving. “You always find me.”Her mother’s expression softened, her hand cradling Elena’s cheek. “Of course I do, my love. I’ll always find y

Asher’s arms around her were strong, steady—so unlike anything she’d known. His warmth surrounded her, grounding her in the present. Not in the past, not in the fear, just here. Just him. Elena should have pulled away. She should have put space between them before she did something reckless—before she allowed herself to believe this moment was real. But her body refused to move. She exhaled shakily, pressing her forehead against his chest. He smelled like the woods after rain, fresh and calming, and she hated how much she wanted to stay wrapped in his scent. She hadn’t been held like this in years. Maybe ever. Asher’s hand moved slowly, carefully, until his fingers brushed against her wrist. The simple touch sent a spark racing up her arm, and she flinched instinctively. His entire body went still. She felt it the moment his muscles tensed, the second his breathing changed. He pulled back just enough to look down at her, his dark eyes scanning her face with something unr

The kitchen smelled like burnt toast and old grease, the fluorescent lights buzzing faintly overhead. Elena stood by the doorway, her stomach twisting as she looked toward the group gathered near the counter. Connor leaned against it, arms crossed, a smirk pulling at his lips. Nathan was beside him, laughing about something, his voice loud and obnoxious. She didn’t want to be here. She wanted to turn around, to leave, to pretend she hadn’t heard Connor call her name. But she didn’t. Because ignoring him would only make things worse. Taking a steadying breath, she stepped forward. “You needed something?” Her voice was even, though her pulse pounded in her ears. Connor barely spared her a glance. “Grab me a drink.” She clenched her jaw. Not ‘please.’ Not ‘can you.’ Just an order. Still, she moved toward the fridge. She never saw Nathan’s foot extend. One second she was walking, the next— Pain shot up her knees as she hit the floor, her hands slamming against the

Elena’s Pain Agony—just one word captured the overwhelming feelings that had consumed Elena ever since her parents abandoned her in this place. No one showed her kindness, and it seemed as if no one ever wanted to. But what hurt the most wasn’t just the isolation—it was the painful realization of being unwanted, insignificant. A voice echoed in her ears, calling her name over and over. Yet, all she could see was Connor approaching, causing her breath to hitch in terror. Panic surged through her, and she instinctively clapped her hands over her ears, desperate to block out his voice. Tears spilled down her cheeks, burning her skin as they fell. The world around her blurred into nothingness, leaving only Connor and the suffocating weight of fear. Trapped in a spiral of panic, she found herself lost in a realm she knew too well—a place where terror ruled, and escape felt impossible. Suddenly, warmth pressed against her skin, snapping her back to reality. Asher’s hands cradled her

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

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

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

Asher pressed a gentle kiss to her temple, his fingers softly threading through her hair.“You really have no idea what you do to me,” he whispered, lips brushing her skin.Elena smiled, eyes closed, basking in the warmth of his touch. “And you’re dramatic first thing in the morning. Do I need to start rationing your compliments?”He chuckled, a sound that vibrated against her. “No. But I’ll take your blushes as payment.”“I’m not blushing,” she lied, the heat on her cheeks betraying her.Asher shifted to hover over her slightly, one hand sliding across the curve of her waist to cup her face. “Yes, you are. And it’s adorable.”His thumb stroked across her cheek, the softest touch, and his gaze locked with hers — intense, open, reverent.“I meant what I said. You’re beyond beautiful, Elena. I don’t even have the words.”Elena bit her lip, her heart fluttering. “Good thing you’re pretty. Makes up for the cheesy lines.”“You love my cheesy lines,” he grinned.“I tolerate them.”“Mm-hmm.”

Chapter Title: “The Morning After”"I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful," Asher murmured, his voice thick with sleep and awe.Elena stirred slightly beside him, still tucked into the warm cocoon of blankets, her face half-hidden against his chest. “You’re staring,” she whispered, voice raspy and adorably accusing.“I’ve earned the right,” he replied softly, brushing a thumb along her cheekbone. “You’re my mate.”Her eyes fluttered open, pupils still lazy from sleep. “You’re such a sap in the morning.”He chuckled, deep and low, the sound rumbling through her. “Only for you.”Elena let out a small laugh, cheeks coloring. “You really didn’t sleep much, did you?”“Didn’t want to,” Asher admitted, fingers gently tracing idle circles along her bare shoulder. “I kept watching you. I kept thinking... no words could describe you. And that’s coming from someone who speaks seven languages.”She blinked up at him, shy but smiling. “You’re really saying that after what we did last
