Esther’s ears perked up at that, and she sat down beside Asher. Because of the intoxicant in her body, she was bolder and more energetic than usual, showing an array of emotions on her face as a result.

“What is it?” She blinked her eyes at him.

A playful glint appeared in his eyes at that. He licked his lower lip and brought up, “Simply conquer ten fears of yours.”

That made Esther blink her eyes, trying to process the situation. Surely, she knew Asher wouldn’t make it easy on her, but wasn’t this too much?

Noticing the reluctance in those eyes of hers, he voiced out, “Or could it be that your love for me is nothing compared to your fears? How am I supposed to trust you then?”

Asher’s tone was softer than usual, and this was enough to hypnotize Esther into agreeing to anything. Asher never acted in this friendly manner with her, and that’s why, before she control herself, she respon

    Once the list was made, Esther raised the paper in her hand and showed it to him. Those eyes of hers held anticipation as she watched him go over them.The corner of Asher’s lips twitched. This girl was really a coward.Then, he pointed out, “What about dogs?”This made Esther nervously fidget her fingers and turn to look the other way. A sudden guilt overcame her at his tone, and she mumbled, “Dogs are too scary.”“Aren’t you being too insincere then? Are you meaning to tell me that you will abandon me for a dog?”The teasing tone in his voice made Esther’s heart flutter. This moment felt very much wholesome to her, and she wanted for this to continue.She stared at him straight and confessed, “I really like you a lot. I would never abandon you, but the dogs are a bit, uhm… Don’t worry! Whenever I see a dog, I will run away, taking you along with me.”He s

    Asher looked at his phone screen and wondered whether or not should he call. She should have been here half an hour ago yet there were no signs of Esther. From what he could feel, she wasn’t in distress.“Asher, going for another round?” one of the men asked carefully, getting on his motorbike.As Asher glanced at him, he could clearly feel the pressure emanating from him. This made the man gulp and add, “Never mind then.”At that instant, as though Asher’s concerns were telepathically conveyed, his phone started to ring, and Asher’s lips hooked up subconsciously when he saw that name being displayed on the screen.He received the call after waiting for couple seconds.The voice came from the other side.“Hello, Asher. I am here, but I can’t find you.”“Where are you?” asked Asher.“Me? At the location you sent me. There is a lighthouse here and also

    Staring at him with those anticipation filled eyes and waiting for his approval, Esther reminded Asher of a puppy looking at its owner in fondness. It was funny how the same animal scared the living daylights out of her. “Edible,” Asher said. This made Esther beam. She might not know the boy for a long time but understood the hidden annotations behind his words well. “Then, should I bake more for you? What do you like? I can bake anything. Hold on a minute. Let me take out a notebook,” Esther voiced out about to reach for her bag when Asher felt a little incredulous about the situation. “You brought along a notebook?” Esther nodded her head and responded, “Yeah! As the old saying goes, the way to man’s heart is through is stomach, and I am totally confident in that.” Asher silently stared at her. That look in his eyes felt indescribable to Esther yet it gave her the illusion that she was precious. Her cheeks heated up and were

    “So, how did it go with Asher?” asked Louis once they met at the school hallway, and they walked towards the class together.“Surprisingly well,” she responded. Esther was still in disbelief yet over the moon on how easily Asher went along with her.She then added, “I thought he would at least make me desperately chase after him for two weeks.”Louis chuckled.“He wouldn’t be able to bear that,” Louis commented before questioning, “What did the two of you do?”“We spent the night together.”Just as she said that, Louis choked and stared at her with widened eyes. Seeing how he misunderstood made Esther shake her head and explain, “We just laid down beside each other. Nothing more.”She then carried on, “We then went on a date by the ocean, had desserts, talked, and he taught me how to drive the car. Romantic, isn’t it?”Lo

    Esther’s chest throbbed painfully. Asher showed no signs of pushing Janice away. In fact, he maintained the eye contact as he brought the girl closer to him, and Esther froze. Her expression was blank. It was as though the time stood still until Louis interrupted it. “Shit, Esther,” Louis said, giving her a little shake. Esther’s eyes teared up. Of course, she never expected Asher to solely direct his attention or affection towards her, but this still pained her. Her bottom lip quivered. Probably because of how happy she had been yesterday, this hit hard. Esther lowered her head and could feel the eyes on her. Few were probably making comments, and she couldn’t process it all properly. All Esther wanted to do was escape, but funnily enough, her feet remained rooted to the position. She must look pathetic. Breathing was getting harder for her. Because of being happy earlier, she ignored the scorching gazes, but now, as her mood

    “Not going to punch me?” asked Asher.Amy stepped out from behind the wall and leaned against the tree. She folded her arms over chest. The aggravation was clear in those orbs of hers. She wanted to tear the man before her.“Feel lucky that I am holding myself back,” Amy said. Then, her eyes fell on the paper box on the ground, and her scowl got deeper. She then spat, “A lucky bastard indeed.”In a bitter tone, she added, “she doesn’t even bake for us.”Asher didn’t understand the reason behind the pang in his chest or the overflowing happiness inside him. The emotions were quite contradictory and made more of a mess out of him.“She shouldn’t have,” Asher responded, not liking it felt wrong to say that.Amy sucked in a deep breath.“Esther is foolish, no doubt about that or else she would have never chosen you.

    “Hello,” Esther greeted. Then, releasing a sheepish giggle, she responded, “I wanted to give you space, but then I got greedy. That’s why, I called you.”For someone who had a hard time holding up a conversation in the beginning, Esther really spoke well. She maintained a careful attitude, and her tone was soft and loving, which tickled one’s heart.“There might be a storm tonight.”“Really? It shouldn’t get that bad,” Esther expressed.Asher remained silent. He wanted to badly scold her for her reckless behavior. The man wasn’t dense. He could see her reasoning for doing so. But it was as though something was stuck in his throat. No words left his mouth.Funnily enough, he felt overwhelmed.Esther, on the other side, remained silent. He didn’t hung up the call neither did Esther take the initiative to. While Asher was wrapped up in his twisted thoughts, Esther fou

    “Was your love for me a lie?” Esther cried out.Asher pressed on to his forehead and expressed, “Quit being so dramatic.”“Men are really heartless creatures or else how can you push me to the execution ground. Yesterday you were hugging me and loving me, and now, you want me dead?”“Esther.”Asher stared at her sternly.This made her pout and deflate, almost falling off to the ground in the process. Asher grabbed on to her collar to prevent that from happening.“Why have you only grown to become more and more childish?” Asher pinched her nose while staring at her with adoration in his eyes.She scrunched up her nose.“Alright. Your family is waiting outside of the door. I will go and open it.”Esther showed a helpless expression. Whatever, sooner or later, she will have to face her family. It doesn’t matter if she gets beaten up. Just a little painful and a whole lot embarrassing.Taking in a deep breath, she steeled herself and gestured to Asher to open the door.“Alright. I am read

    Asher sounded disappointed.“That’s all? Because I hardly looked at you for few days, you thought I had no feelings for you? Even after I opened about everything to you? I told you over and over again that breaking the bond wouldn’t change anything. You couldn’t trust me?”“How am I supposed to read your mind!? You are always blowing hot and cold. It’s tiresome. What about you? You weren’t any less insensitive! Didn’t you think it would hurt me if you avoided me?Don’t you have common sense? Or was it a game you played to torture me because I wanted to break the bond with you? That’s your favorite hobby, right!?”“My hobby? Yeah, you are right. I am paranoid. I enjoy testing people at every turn and don’t trust anyone. But I wanted to do that with you. Fuck! If it wasn’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have ignored you.Do you know what I felt like every time I looked at you? Tortured. Do you understand how empty I felt without the bond? Unable to read your emotions, it was all too foreign

    Asher stared at her in disbelief.“I am in last stage of stomach cancer. That’s why, I will be content to get to see you married, and it’s sad that I won’t have the luxury to see your children. Nonetheless, I hope you will be happy in the future.”“You are lying,” Asher responded.Esther sighed.“I wish I was too. There’s a lot I wanted to do, but too bad, my life is short.”At this, Esther saw Asher taking out his phone, and alert, she grabbed on to his hand, asking, “What are you doing?”“Arranging for the tests. You will be done for if you are lying.”This made Esther nervous.“Can you not? I am exhausted of having to go to doctors, getting poked, and having to take medicine. I won’t stop you from doing whatever you want, but please, don’t force me to see a doctor. There’s no hope already. I just want to spend my last days peacefully.”“Shut up,” he ordered, “there’s no way that’s the case, and you will be seeing a doctor whether you like it or not.”“I was sad, thinking that you w

    A chill travelled down Esther’s spine. At the sane time, she felt indignant. What right did he have to accuse her in this manner as though she cheated behind his back?Back then, it was him who fervently ignored her, and these years, she suffered badly. She was all alone with strangers. And it’s not like she wanted to be away; she had to be away.“I-uh, it’s none of your business. It’s been five years, Asher. Weren’t we just childish high school students back then? What happened back then shouldn’t even matter?”Asher’s eyes darkened further.“Say that again.”Esther was about to repeat those words when she got intimidated by his eyes. Her senses could easily perceive the danger, and she silently turned to face the window. She wasn’t foolish enough to provoke the beast.And then, they stopped in front of a mansion. It was grand. Esther stared at it in amazement and wondered how much Asher actually made in a month. Asher then got down of the car and ordered her to follow behind him. A

    “Dad’s home. Yikes! I am going to bed, Esther. Good night.”Before Esther could say anything, the child rushed off to her room, and she laughed at her antics. Despite Dylan’s repeated warnings, Lily still got into a fight in school and got injuries. Not wanting to be scolded by her father again, she hid.Esther shook her head.The main door opened, and Dylan stepped in. She raised her eyebrow at the signs of joy seen on his face. Work made him exhausted usually, so this was new.“What happened?” she questioned as the man removed his blazer and placed it on the couch.“I met with an old friend from the council today, and it seemed that Stephen was caught, five years ago at that. It’s sad we lost connection for long.”Stephen and Esther did lay low for these five long years. Esther had no connection with the werewolf council, and Stephen didn’t have complete trust in them. He was afraid getting involved would result in him being caught.“You sure?” Esther asked.Dylan nodded.“Confirmed

    Esther bent down and fixed the hair of the child in front of her. No older than five, the girl had doe brown eyes, brown hair pulled into two ponytails, and chubby cheeks that made one want to pinch them.In other words, she was adorable.“Now, take care of yourself, and don’t get into fights.”“Yes, Mom! Are you coming to pick me up?”Esther pretended to think about it for a while.“I am not too sure about it.”“I will give you a kiss, Mom.”With that, the tiny girl plastered her lips on to Esther’s cheeks, leaving behind a small kiss before stepping back with sparkling eyes, blinking at Esther in expectation.Esther laughed. She hated leaving her apartment, but she could do anything for her adorable baby.“Sure.”The child grinned widely.“Then, make sure to bring enough money with you. I want to buy this big dollhouse. Dad scolded me, saying it’s a waste of money, and I will break it. What would he know? The dollhouse is so pretty. I want it.”The girl scoffed, folding her hands ov

    Before he passed out, he growled at Esther. Although he tried to resist, the drug was too potent for his self will.Stephen was a cautious being, but due to his arrogance, Esther had the upper hand in this. He thought he figured her out entirely, and due to this, he felt she would be helpless. Esther was after all like an open book.Esther’s acting skills surprised even herself. When push came to shove, even Esther can adapt and act accordingly. She was proud of herself for staying calm under the situation and not breaking down.Of course, Esther did not have the time to celebrate for long. What was way more tasking for her had to be when she moved the man to the shotgun seat, so that she could take the driver’s one.With all the rough handling, she was almost scared he would wake up. His weight felt nearly impossible for her to handle, but her willpower made sure she carried on.Following so, she drove the car following the GPS.

    Asher made her frustrated, incredibly at that.Because he believed Esther fell in love with someone, he kept an eye on her the entire time, and once the day at school was over, he dragged her to his apartment. She couldn’t even resist because he was ready to start a fight with her siblings over her.Esther too held on to her will and didn’t talk to Asher unless it was regarding breaking the bond. That only got him to be more aggressive, and he threatened about marking her.Just when Esther thought one bond was too much.Marking is the werewolf version of being tied until death. At least it was too harsh to force it upon someone else. But the way Esther kept on challenging Asher’s bottom line, she distinctly saw it as a future possibility.That’s why, she had to do something drastic.She tried a lot of techniques. She cried and begged him, screamed at him and tried to provoke him, threw a hunger strike, and attempted to come out of her shell to act ambiguous with another man which ende

    “Was that what upset you these days?” Asher asked.Over this period of time, he noticed that Esther was unusually tense and spent lesser amount of time with him. He didn’t push it, thinking it was due to exams coming up. She should be stressed over it.“Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Esther asked.At first, she thought that she would have to act sad, but now, the reality of everything hit her, making her emotionally unstable. Asher didn’t want to do anything with her.When it was an unrequited love on her part, she wasn’t saddened by this because for her, it was impossible for Asher to like her back then. But now that she got to taste his sweet affections, everything was painful.Asher sighed.“It didn’t matter,” he responded, “that’s why, don’t let it create an issue.”This made Esther’s heart sink.“Your mate, it could have been someone else, and you would have treated her the same.” Esther voice was low. Her eyes were on the floor, and tears started to well up in them.At this,
