Asher"I'll take my leave," Lucas said as he dropped some files on the table. I nodded my head in approval, and he walked out of my office. I let out an exasperated sigh and threw my head backward. For the past three hours, I have been working non-stop so I was exhausted. I closed the laptop and dropped the pen on the table. I looked up as the door creaked open. A smile appeared on my lips as my amazing and annoying brother, Derek, walked into my office. I stood up from the chair as he rushed toward me. I opened my arms and pulled him into a tight hug. I ruffled his hair as he pulled away from the hug. "Why didn't you inform me when you were coming?" I asked and punched his shoulder playfully. He whined, and I scoffed. "That's because I wanted to surprise you but unfortunately I helped your mate and you misunderstood the situation," he said and rolled his eyes at me. I knew he was going to bring that issue up. "Whatever," I scoffed and rolled up my sleeves. We were the best
XavierArgh!I grunted out with an angry look as I stared at my brother, Asher, who stepped on my legs. His next action annoyed me. He carried Alessia into her arms and walked her out of the restaurant. "Asher!" I called angrily but he didn't turn or spare me a glance. I slammed my fist against the table with an angry look. The table broke, and the contents on it spilled on the floor. I was angry at my brother for pulling such a stunt on me. Not only did he sabotage my plan of becoming close to his sexy mate, but he also took her away. Why did he always have the upper hand? He had two beautiful ladies who were considered to be beauty goddesses to himself. Even though I hate it, I have to admit that I was jealous of him. He had always been lucky with good things. I clenched my fist with an angry look. I stood up from the chair and ignored the look that was thrown at me by the customers in the restaurant. They looked at me as though I was a mad person. When I was about to leave,
Jessica"Asher!" I stomped my feet with an angry look on my face as he pulled his hand away from my waist and climbed down the stairs. He didn't spare me a glance. He looked cold and unapproachable. I bit on my lower lips until it bled. I licked the blood on my lips and clenched the hem of my clothes tightly. My gaze darkened as I watched Asher walk close to Alessia. He was angry at me because of his mate. That b*tch. I snorted beneath my breath as he pulled her closer to his body. He sniffed her body. I felt a sting of pain in my heart as I watched him become possessive because of Alessia. He was angry because she was close to another man. He had never overacted that way because of me. This action made me angry and jealous. They were giving me enough reason to get rid of Alessia. She had stolen my man. Even though I hate to admit it, she had taken him away from her. Unable to contain my anger, I climbed down the stairs and walked close to them. I stopped when I felt a grasp on m
AsherI let out an exasperated sigh as I rounded up the paperwork that I was working on. I gathered the paperwork and dropped it into the cabinet that was made of steel. I picked up my suit and hung it around my shoulder. I walked out of the office and slammed the door with a loud bang. "Take care of the office," I ordered, and the guards bowed their heads respectfully. I passed through the silent and lonely hallway that leads to my chamber. I stopped midway as a thought crossed my mind. It was about Jessica. I thought it was high time I let her know her place. She didn't have the right to be close to me even if she was the Luna of the pack. I have been ignoring her for a few days but she kept coming regardless of my warning. I returned to my office and took the black briefcase that I had forgotten at the office. I walked out of the office and went to Jessica's chamber. I walked into her chamber but I didn't find her there. "Where is Jessica?" I asked in a cold tone as I turned
AlessiaI looked up as a knock landed at the door. I stood up from the chair and rushed toward the door. A smile broke out on my lips as I stared at the man before me. He looked so handsome and hot. He was my mate, Alessia. I ran into his arms and hugged him. I sniffed the scent that I had been craving. I stared at him with a confused look. It was quite strange that he didn't hug me back when I hugged him. I knew there was something wrong with him because he doesn't behave that way."What's wrong with you?" I asked with a confused look. "Nothing. I'm fine,""But you don't look good to me," I replied and followed him behind. He pulled off his suit and threw it away to the floor. He sat down on the bed, and I sat down beside him. "I just said I'm fine. I'm not in a good mood to talk," he said, his voice filled with pain and sadness. He thought that I was going to leave him, but I couldn't. How could I leave him in such a state? I knew something was bothering him but I couldn't tel
XavierEven though I was cracking jokes with her to keep her entertained, I was lost in my thoughts. I was so carried away and mesmerized by her beauty that I couldn't stop staring at her. She looked so hot and sexy. How could one be beautiful and still have such wonderful shapes? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. My brother was so lucky to have someone sexy and beautiful like her."Haha. You're so funny," she laughed wholeheartedly but I wasn't listening to her. I leaned closer to her and slammed my lips against her lips. She looked at me with a shocked look on her face. She stood up from the bench in an instant. She looked around to be sure if there was anyone around. Her face looked angry and flushed. She felt embarrassed. I swallowed hard as she threw a deadly glare at me. If only look could kill, I would have died by then. "How dare you kiss me, huh?" She asked, her voice was filled with shame and anger. "I'm…" I stopped abruptly as she slapped me across my
Asher"What's wrong with you?" I asked with a confused look. I stared at my mate, Alessia, who looked weak and sad. She didn't look happy so I decided to ask her what was wrong with her. She took a deep breath and looked away. It was as if she was trying to avoid making eye contact with me. I sat down on the bed and leaned closer to her. I held her arms and asked her again. "What's wrong with you? You can tell me,"She turned to me and stared at me hesitantly. She shook her head and looked away. It seemed there was something she wanted to tell me but she didn't know how to present it to me. What could that thing be? And why was she hesitant to talk about it? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me," she said but I wasn't convinced."Are you sure?" I persisted, and she groaned. "I said I'm fine so I'm fine. Please I'm not in a mood to talk," she snapped at me, and I kept quiet. I didn't bother her even though I was surprised
AsherI gulped down into nothing as I watched my brother and my mate kiss each other passionately. They were so engrossed in it that they failed to notice my presence at the hall entrance. I clenched my fist with an angry look on my face. Argh! My mate and my brother! My body trembled with anger. I was shocked and heartbroken. I wasn't expecting to see my brother and my mate kissing. "How could you do this to me, Alessia?" I wanted to blurt out but I couldn't bring myself to. I felt ashamed of myself. It would be a shameful thing if I showed myself before them. I was heartbroken and sad that she didn't respect me or our relationship.Why did she ditch me for my brother? Pain clenched my heart as these thoughts crossed my mind. For the first time in my life, I felt the urge to cry. I tightened my knuckles as I fought back the tears that threatened to pour down from my eyes.I was heartbroken and sad but I couldn't attack them. Silently, I left the hall the same way I arrived ther
EPILOGUEThird POV“It's time,” Asher said and kissed Alessia on her forehead. She looked away and wished for a flushed face before kissing him back. She wiped the beads of tears that rolled down from my eyes as she watched her twin sister being dragged to the execution ground. Maybe triplet sister. Not long after her parents returned, she found out that Alyssa whom she used to hate but protect was her sister and they were triplets. She thought she would be glad to watch her wicked sister die but she couldn't bear it. But her sister still deserved it. She tried to kill her and made her lose her first pregnancy. Asher's supposed heir. “You'll be fine,” Asher muttered and stroked her hair. Of course, they tried to forgive Amelia and redeem her but she claimed to be irredeemable. She wanted to die and pass on to the other side to meet her mate, Xavier. “I'm sorry,” he muttered and hugged her as she watched her sister's head roll down on the execution ground. Finally, everywhere wa
Alessia"When I opened my eyes, I was confused. Everything was blurry and I felt disoriented. I didn't know where I was or what had happened. I tried to sit up, but my body felt weak and sluggish. As my vision began to clear, I realized that I was in a hospital room. There were beeping machines and tubes and wires attached to me. The last thing I remembered was my sister stabbing me, but I couldn't recall anything after that.That's true. How did I manage to come back to life? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I couldn't forget the unbearable pain that I felt when she stabbed me with the silver dagger on her right palm. I couldn't forget how blood rushed out of my vagina and stomach. Just as I was wondering how long I'd been in the hospital room, the door creaked open and Asher walked in. “Alessia,” he called out with a surprised look on his face and rushed toward me with his face filled with concerns. “You're finally awake. Wonderful,” he hurled out with exciteme
AlessiaI grunted out as I woke up from my slumber. I opened my eyes and rubbed my hand on my eyes as the rays of the sun pierced into my eyes. I whined as my head ached in pain. I arched my eyebrows and looked around with a confused look as I met myself in a different place and room. Without a second thought, I knew where I was. I was back to his pack, the place where I ran away after I found out that he killed my parents, the people I loved sincerely. “You're awake.”“How are you?” I looked up as I heard his calm yet cute voice in the background. I swallowed hard and bit on my lower lips as my gaze landed on him.“Why do you care to know? And why are you here?” I asked in a cold tone and he shook his head.“I care because you're my mate. This is my room, mate,” he said and I growled. Somehow, the word 'Mate' hit a vulnerable spot in my heart even though I wouldn't admit it. “And maybe I should just leave,” I said and tried to stand up from the bed. I whined in pain and fell on
Alessia“You're not allowed to go out, my lady,” I arched my eyebrows as I glared at the guards, who stood in my way. He was assigned to keep me at bay so I wouldn't be able to leave the house. And for the past few minutes, I have been asking why but he wouldn't give me a sincere reason. “But why?” I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. I decided to force the answer out of him because I feel something bad is about to end. And whatever that happens, it wouldn't be good. “I need your help,” I said as I mind-linked to my mystical wolf, Kai. “What's that?” He asked even though he could read my mind and know what I was thinking. “I want you to help me compel the question out of him,” I said and he smiled. “It's simple. I belong to you and you belong to me so just do it without disturbing me,” he said and the connection went off. I grunted and stood up from the chair. I whined in pain and pretended to fall on the floor with a heavy thud so I could lure him inside. “What
Asher“How may we help you, Alpha?” I looked up as the door creaked open and the Blood Triplets walked in with their suppressing auras. Dean, Damon, and David. I stood up from the chair and stroked my chin gently as I raised my face to look up at them. “I want you to track my mate down. She's in the Red Moon pack,” I said. “The Red Moon pack?”I squeezed out a smile as I watched them hesitate for a second. “Yes, I'll do it if all of you are scared to,” I said and they shook their heads negatively. “No, we'll do it, Alpha. What's the plan?” Dean, who seemed to be the bolder one, asked, and I smirked discreetly. “That's a good question. Once you know where she is hiding, let me know. Don't let her know you're spying on her because I think she's hiding her identity,” I said and they nodded their heads in response. “You'll get a report from us in the next three hours,” David said and I agreed to his statement. “I'll be waiting. Good luck,” I said and they left the chamber. I looked
AsherI closed my eyes as I tried to open my eyes which were heavy and red. I managed to open my eyes after much trial. I was surprised to find myself in a little room that looked like a cell with no Illumination. It was dark and void. What happened to me? That was the first question that came to my mind after I regained consciousness and discovered that I was no longer with Lennox. It was then I realized that I was backstabbed by my childhood. How could he do this to me? Why? Maybe I shouldn't have trusted him. Although he didn't seem to be a bad person when he was young, it seemed he'd become fierce and ruthless just like me, or more than that. But why did he lock me up? He should have killed me. Maybe he needed something from me. I would make sure he doesn't get whatever he needs easily. “Hey. Bring me your Alpha. Tell him that I'm awake,” I yelled and shook the cell vigorously but I got no response. “What's wrong?” I asked myself. “No one is going to hear you so you'd bette
Xavier“Where is she?” I asked and the guard looked up instantly. “She's in the Crystal River,” he responded and I bit on my lower lips. I clenched my fist with an angry look on my face. How dare she leave our pack to our sworn enemy pack? I asked myself but I couldn't get an answer to it. For the past decade, the Red Moon pack has had a blood feud with the Crystal River pack.It came as a surprise that she could go to such a place despite knowing that her life could be endangered. Maybe because she thinks I wouldn't be able to go there to attack them.Well, she's right. I'll do anything even if it's to break down the mountains to bring her back. I wouldn't hesitate to eliminate their family members. “You know what? Bring the Alpha and beta troops to the battlefield. We're heading to the Crystal River pack to bring back my mate,” I ordered the commander, who hurriedly left my throne room. I stood up from the throne room and walked into my chamber. I pulled the wardrobe open and c
AlessiaWhat!A soft gasp escaped from my lips immediately after he uttered the word ‘Strip’. Stripping for him? No, that's not possible. I couldn't imagine myself having sex with the man who stripped me of everything.Not only did he humiliate me in the presence of the pack members but he also wanted to have sex with me. I wouldn't let that happen even if I had to lose my life to it in the process. I won't let him have his way with me. “Pervert,” I wanted to reveal myself badly as I thrust a sword into his heart but I knew it would be too reckless. He had become more powerful than I could think. What am I going to do? If I want to succeed with my mission, I would have to let him have his way with me because there's no way I can sneak attack him. But that's not a good thing. Am I ready to sacrifice myself to have sex with me? Wouldn't it be worth it? I have come a long way and I wouldn't want to lose everything that I'd worked for. “Alyssa,” he called and I looked up. “Why ha
Xavier“What!” A soft gasp left my lips after I heard the revelation. It came as a huge shock to me that I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. However, I didn't believe them. “How is that possible? And what woman were you talking about?” I asked with a cold look on my face. “Don't tell me that you don't know that woman you betrayed, Alpha,” I looked up with a cold look as I heard the voice of the pack witch. She walked into the house with a creepy smile beaming on her face. The room fell silent as she walked in with her powerful auras. “Good day, Alpha,” she greeted me and I nodded my head. “Can you explain what's happening?” I asked and she nodded her head. “Yes. The oracle said that you offended and betrayed a beautiful young lady a few months ago. She's supposed to be your soulmate but you pushed her away with your betrayal.”“Read my lips, Alpha. You won't be able to impregnate any lady apart from her. She's the only one who's capable of giving birth to you,” she said and
