Asher's POVI froze from those words he had just said.I had never thought a day would come where I would see Tristan say such a thing about Lyra. They hated each other, it was a fact known to everyone who knew the two of them and for him to suddenly say that, it could mean that underneath that anger he had towards Lyra, there was some sort of feelings?I didn't want to assume, it could be that he was only trying to pull my legs and so I chuckled, "that's not true, just like you said, you cannot stand Lyra ''.He nodded his head, "she can be very annoying and all shades of stupid, but I do like it when she argues with me. She doesn't look at me as if I'm the alpha of a pack, she doesn't seem fazed about a lot of things most people concern themselves with and it feels really weird".I nodded my head, "do not confuse weird for feelings, it feels good to see something different, doesn't mean you should put a ring on it."He laughed, "I do not think she would make a bad partner, she surel
Lyra's POVThe question made my heart beat faster. Maybe it was better to go back to Philip. He loved me and I cares about him. He didn't bother to demand that I love him as much as I loved Asher. He was content with what I was offering, I was giving him half of me and he wasn't questioning it. He was the perfect man for me.Asher had made it clear that he and I would never be together, he had told me that he didn't love me, and expressed his desires for Devlin. There was no two way about it. For me to stand here still begging for his love was just stupid . It was better for everyone and for myself if I just go back to Philip.I would have preferred to stay in the dungeon but that was me being selfish. J was going to have a baby soon, when my water broke, and I'm here in the dungeon, I believe that Tristan would not be too amazed to decide to send me to a hospital. He would rather have me deliver the baby here, where I may very well lose the child.And then what happens after the chil
Asher's POVI shook my head."That's not true, there's no way that her daughter isn't hers. How did you find out?"Tristan shrugged, "I have sources, Asher. I don't have the strongest pack just for show"."Prove it," I said, "prove that her daughter isn't her daughter".He shook his head like he was tired, his hands finding comfort on his waist, "you want me to prove a lot of things Asher, why don't you make a decision. What exactly do you want me to prove?""What?""You wanted me to prove that the Luna of the silver moon pack, had destroyed my pack because she is a fucking evil person and now you want me to prove that her daughter isn't her daughter? Make a decision, Asher. What do you really want?"He could have just effortlessly made the decision to tell me the two things I was inquiring about, however, Tristan would never just be so easy. He wanted to stress me, he wanted me to work for that answer. I had no clue what he was standing to gain from inflicting such on me but even if
Asher's POVI frowned at his words. Minutes ago he was hell bent on killing Luna and now he suddenly knew what he wanted. I had no idea what was going on through his mind but I was well aware that it obviously couldn't be anything good. There was no way that Tristan had good intentions, probably he was off to do something that was almost as bad as murder or maybe even worse than that."What do you mean?" I asked him, "what do you want?"He shook his head, "the only thing i'm granting you davide is the proof that the Luna of the silver moon pack is a vile woman and other than that, you do not possess the luxury".I nodded my head, somehow, I planned to find out myself. Tristan would obviously refuse to tell me all that I needed to know and so I vowed that in any way possible, I was going to find out about all that I needed to know. I really want to know if he had been telling the truth, that Devlin wasn't the real heir, I wanted to know if he had any idea who the real heir was. And kno
Asher's POVWhether or not I wanted to stay, she didn't want me to stay. She wanted nothing more to do with me and I so I was inclined to do what she wanted.I walked out of the dungeon and made my way to Philip. However I didn't know what to say nor how to say it. Tristan's desire for revenge may not be as unreasonable as we thought. I didn't know how to tell him we could've been wrong that he was actually right to feel this way.I didn't know how to tell him that he had betrayed his best friend for nothing.It was my fault. I was the one that recruited him without any hard proof to support my claim, and because he was in love with Lyra, he agreed to the rubbish I was saying that I had said to him."Fuck!" I said."Fuck!""Fuck it!"I grabbed hair and kicked at the earth like it was what had propelled me to have done something so unreasonable.I didn't know why I was acting this way. I felt conflicted.There was the possibility that Tristan was saying the truth and that would mean th
Asher's POVI saw the confusion in his frown, he was looking at me like I was speaking Japanese and, like I was some sort of weirdo.No one could blame me, I couldn't understand why he wasn't getting angry. He was weird, normally, he was supposed to be angry, he was supposed to blame me and scream and yell that I was being stupid, that i ruined his life, I ruined the friendship he had with Tristan just because of some sort of words from a woman who would soon turn out to be a victim of Tristan's, of course she would want to save herself. Of course she had been lying.But he wasn't saying those things.He looked like he understood me, like he understood me, he understood that I had been led astray as well. He understood that as long as there was any form of hope to save the silver moon pack from Tristan's wrath, I was gonna take it.He looked at me like he trusted me blindly."Why am I like what?" He asked."Nice," I demonstrated by gesturing to his person, "you blindly trust me, a man
Lyra's POVI had no clue if it was how his voice sounded or how his eyes looked when he came into the light, but there was something very compelling in his features when his eyes met mine. He was looking at me like he was trying to convince me that his words were true and that he wasn't in any way playing with me."As you are mine".It kept replaying over and over again in m head kike a melody stuck in my brain. Coming from him, it could be regarded as the sweetest melody. However, I was now deaf.I was too familiar with the lifestyle of this man, I was so familiar with the way he talked and how he moved that I can no longer trust that his words were true. This could be another tactic of his to want to use me. I had no idea what he wished to use me for, how I am benefiting him but he kept on making it very obvious that he really wants me in his bed.Of course, I'm only useful for sex and nothing more.I shook my head.I cannot allow him to deceive me any further, one time was a mistak
Asher's POVMy heart was beating fast against my chest. There was literally only one word echoing in my head. However, there wasn't a direct order to it. My head was aching towards it like it was the truth but my heart was stubborn, finding loopholes, trying not to believe what my head was telling me.It was improbable that what I was thinking was the reality because of the time span.Still, I opened my mouth and asked him:"Are you the father?"What he did was to simply laugh like i just cracked a joke. He laughed so heartily and mockingly that I wanted the ground to open up an swallow me. It felt as if I had been stupid for making such an assumption when in reality, it was the only assumption I could make.He was willing to accept the child, he was sort of happy even and I wasn't. I was the total opposite and she was my mate. It was totally rational lf me to not be able to accept it. But he did, he chose to accept her like it was something so casual."What would make you think in su
