Asher's POVThat request from Devlin was a bit too much but I had no choice but to concede, I had been the one solely responsible for the situation we had found ourselves in. She was innocent, her only crime was falling in love with me. She did nothing wrong by being a good wife, a fantastic person and if this was what she demanded as a consolation, then that was exactly what I was going to give to her.She knew that the marriage would be helpful to both of our packs but she also knew that if she wanted to divorce me, a lot of people would take her side she had been nothing but a good wife, i had been the treacherous, cheating husband who busied himself staring at another woman who wasn't his wife and of course, I would get many bashes. Many people would be against me, calling me names and many other things and it would reflect poorly on my back but Devlin would be pitied and a lot of people would praise her for taking the step to obliterate such a marriage.In other words, she didn't
Asher's POVI couldn't believe Devlin's words. It was too hard to match Tristan and the possibility of him eating a human being up. It was disgusting and very nerve wracking. I didn't know if her words were true because I know Devlin can sometimes be prone to lying. I wasn't just going to believe her with no proof whatsoever."That cannot be true," I said to her.However, the expression on her face seemed to convey the fact that she wasn't exactly expecting me to believe her words. She looked so unfazed and very uninterested in whether I believed her or not. It was like she had other things to worry about and I wasn't one of them.She just adjusted her position before saying to me: "before I left, I had informed my mother about where i was headed. She told me to be careful and all that mothers usually say and I tried to wave it off as her being too much but then she pulled me down and told me everything".I scoffed, it didn't sound a bit believable to the ears, "what are you even sayi
Lyra's POVAfter telling Asher about what I had been told by Philip, I decided to return to the room. Staying in that environment with Asher looking like that was too much for me to handle. All through the conversation, I was trying hard to not look at his body, his bare body was such a temptation.I bolted out the door the minute I could.When I returned to the room, I saw that Philip was not awake yet. The words he had said to me resurfaced in my head. I couldn't believe that he allowed himself to be so vulnerable to me. He easily admitted the things that were plaguing him and his fear of Tristan.I had succeeded in planting in his head the idea that Tristan was coming after him.and he had by himself, calculated the things that Tristan stood to gain from such an action. I knew Asher would be doing the same, he would be trying to convince Tristan to actually attempt to kill Philip or me.It was the plan and we were going to do everything possible to save Philip if Tristan did make su
Lyra's POV"What?" Philip asked bewildered.He had somehow changed his mind about hearing from Asher. I also didn't know when I had gotten to my feet and made my way over to the front of the door where the both of them stood talking.I couldn't believe the words Asher just said, in many ways, it seemed to be untrue but at the same time, it was the perfect reason anyone can have to obliterate a whole pack filled with families and children."Where did you hear such absurdity?" Philip asked. He was getting angry, angrier than usual. It was only because those words were coming from Asher against his best friend. He couldn't smile and nod his head and say Asher was right.Something in me told me that in a way, Philip knew of this if it were true."I was told by the silver moon pack". Asher said.In other words, Devlin had told him.Ohilio shook his head, his reaction was what anyone could have expected. Thus had to do with his best friend, this accusation was too bizarre. Even though Tris
Lyra's POVA part of me broke when I heard those words. I have always known that he loved me unconditionally and I really appreciated it. However, for him saying that he trusts me in such a way and for him to be willing to stand beside Asher because I was also beside Asher made my heart hurt a little. It felt like I was doing something bad when I wasn't.Well, I was.I was harboring feelings for someone that wasn't him. He loved me, he was willing to take care of me and he had proved countless times that he would always take my word, that he would trust me without any proof and I couldn't help but feel I was cheating on him. I had made excuses for myself before that the reason why i never told him that the father of my baby was Asher was because he hated Asher. But the truth was I just didn't want him to come to know that I held Asher in my heart in such a way. I didn't want him to look at Asher and see the man I loved. I didn't want to break him.I know that there were a lot of thin
Asher's POVWhen I stormed into the room, I had no idea what to expect but i sure as hell did not expect to see Philip and Lyra sucking each other's faces. I was stunned, unable to form a single thought. I just stared at Lyra's eyes that were on mine. I knew I shouldn't be angry about seeing the two of them but I couldn't help it. I was angry and at the same time, I felt a stab of regret. For that moment, I began to wish that I hadn't been a jerk to her. I wish I had been a proper person, rejected her calmly and not made a show out of it. I was angry and also very hurt.I saw Philip hop off the bed and he made his way towards me. There was an understanding between us, I knew he hated me, he didn't need a reason to but I just knew it and he was staring at me with the rage from having his quiet time disrupted by an unwelcome guest.He walked up to me, saying something, well, yelling something but my head couldn't wrap around what he was saying. I was disoriented, I was staring at Lyra
Asher's POVLyra looked me in the eyes. I saw the look of hesitation in her eyes. I knew a part of her was scared of walking into the room with me. I knew that I had the same effect on her that she had on me. I was lost in how she smelled like, how she tasted and how she felt wrapped around me. The feeling was second to none and was very addicting.Sbe was saying something and it seemed that I was also answering her, but I couldn't even begin to guess what was going on or what we were talking about.I saw that she looked at my body and I suddenly realized that i had been standing in the way. She should've been able to walk into the room since, but I was standing in the way preventing her from walking in. I didn't realize I was so lost and if I hadn't realized such a thing, maybe Tristan would've seen us.She walked into the room by walking past me. I heard the small sniff she took, I knew she had taken in the Smell that exuded from me. I didn't know how to feel about that but I felt i
Lyra's POV.I didn't know what came over me in there, but I did know that whatever it was was actually still very present. I was standing in front of his room, heaving heavily. I had these desires that I knew only he could satiate. I don't know what was going on with me nor why I was suddenly feeling this way. I had these cravings for him that were too carnal.When i was in his room, i had been willing myself to not look at him, to not touch him, to noy allow him touch me because I knew i was too weak to refuse him, i knew i was without any form of self control and even after walking away from him, i still couldn't help it. I was weak against him. I was weak against everything he was doing tk me.He had power over me like no other and it was too much. And I knew he knew. I saw how he too was affected. It bothered me how he was still excited about me but still he had not realized that we were more than what he thought.Things between us were considered to be more natural. There were no
