LIA'S POVI was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling when I heard the shouts outside. I frowned, wondering what was going on. I got up from my bed and walked to the window aide. I peeked outside and saw the guards running up and down the Packhouse. My heart started racing as I wondered what was happening.I wanted to leave my room to find out what was going on, but I knew it wasn't a good idea. Some guards were stationed outside my room, and Asher had asked me not to come out of my room for any reason. I sighed and leaned against the window, watching as the chaos outside continued.I could feel frustration building up inside me as I wondered when all this would end. It felt like we were constantly under attack, and I didn't know how much longer I could take it. I closed my eyes, taking deep breaths to calm myself down.But the shouts and screams outside only grew louder, and my anxiety grew. I couldn't just stay in my room and wait for it all to end. I needed to know what was happe
Lia's POV.I sat on my bed, my heart racing as I watched the chaos outside my window. The guards were running around, trying to contain the situation. I knew what it meant, the Pack had been attacked by rogues. The thought alone was enough to make me shiver with fear.I heard shouting coming from the passageway, and I knew that the situation had escalated. The guards were being killed, and I could hear their screams. My mind raced with thoughts of what was happening outside. Were the rogues going to make their way to my room? Was Alpha Lance and Alpha Ryan coming to abduct me again? I couldn't take it anymore. I had to do something.I paced in my room, my thoughts running wild. Fear engulfed me, and I couldn't help but wonder if I would survive the night. I had to stay strong. I had to be brave. I had to fight.But how could I fight? I was just a human, and these were werewolves. They were faster and stronger than me. They could kill me in seconds. I had to think of a plan, and I had
LIA'S POVThe Alphas roughly pulled me out of the underbrush and dragged me into the woods. The night air was cold and damp, and the sound of rustling leaves and snapping twigs filled my ears as we ran deeper into the darkness.I stumbled and tripped, my feet tangled in roots and fallen branches, but the Alphas didn't slow down. They pulled me roughly to my feet and dragged me onward, their grip unyielding and relentless.I could hear the sound of footsteps crunching on the forest floor, and I knew that we were not alone. My heart pounded in my chest as I scanned the darkness, searching for any sign of help.But before I could call out, we were surrounded by a group of guards, their weapons at the ready. "Let her go!" one of them shouted, his voice filled with determination.But the Alphas merely laughed, their grip on me tightening as they prepared to fight. I screamed for help, my voice raw with terror, but the guards were no match for the Alphas and their brute strength.In a ma
LIA'S POVWith renewed determination, I kicked out at Ryan with all my strength, hitting him squarely in the face. He staggered backwards, clutching his bleeding nose, and I scrambled to my feet and took off running again.But this time, I was out of breath and my legs felt like lead. I stumbled over fallen branches and tree roots, my chest heaving with exertion. I could hear Ryan's heavy footsteps behind me, getting closer with every passing second.I didn't know how much longer I could keep going, how much longer I could fight. But I refused to give up, to let them win. I would keep fighting, keep running, for as long as I could. Because that was all I had left.I kicked and punched with all the strength I had left, determined to keep fighting. Ryan was strong, but I was fast and agile. I dodged his punches and countered with my own. I could feel the exhaustion taking over my body, but I refused to let it get the best of me.With a swift kick to the stomach, I managed to knock Ryan
ALPHA ASHER'S POV.I gritted my teeth as I continued on, my senses on high alert as I searched for any sign of Lia or her captors. The thought of her being in the hands of these ruthless rogues made my blood boil, and I vowed to stop at nothing to bring her back safely.As I emerged from the passageway and into the woods, I could feel the weight of the situation bearing down on me. The chaos and destruction around me were overwhelming, and I knew that we had a long and difficult road ahead if we were going to defeat these rogues and rescue Lia.LIA'S POVI felt the throbbing pain as I slowly opened my eyes. Every muscle in my body felt sore, and a pounding headache was pulsing through my head. My eyes struggled to focus as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. It took me a few moments to realize that I was lying on a hard, cold surface. I struggled to sit up, but the pain in my body was too much to bear.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts. T
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI trudged through the thick underbrush, my eyes scanning the ground for any sign of Lia. My heart was pounding in my chest as I called out her name, hoping to hear her voice in response. But there was only the sound of the wind and the rustling of leaves.I couldn't believe that she was gone, that someone could have taken her from right under our noses. As the Alpha of the pack, it was my responsibility to protect every member of the pack, especially my mate. But I had failed her.The warriors around me were also searching, their eyes darting back and forth as they searched for any clues. We checked every corner of the woods, every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of her.I couldn't help but think of all the worst-case scenarios. What if she was hurt or injured? What if she was being held captive by rogues? The thought of losing her made my chest tighten with anxiety.We searched until the sun began to set, but we still couldn't find her.The rain started as a
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI tossed and turned in my bed all night, unable to find a comfortable position. My mind was filled with thoughts of Lia and the danger she was in. I knew I had to come up with a plan to rescue her, but my mind was blank.Before I knew it, the sun had begun to rise, and I realized that I had only gotten an hour of sleep. I dragged myself out of bed, feeling exhausted and drained. I knew I had a long day ahead of me, and I needed to be alert and focused if I was going to find Lia.I took a deep breath and tried to clear my mind. I couldn't afford to let my emotions cloud my judgment. I needed to be strategic and level-headed if I was going to lead my warriors into battle.The first light of dawn slowly crept over the horizon, casting long shadows across the ground. The sky was painted in beautiful shades of orange, pink, and purple, and the air was still and peaceful. As I looked out over the horizon, I felt a sense of hope and determination wash over me.The birds beg
ALPHA ASHER'S POVMy blood boiled as I realized that the perpetrators behind Lia's abduction were none other than Alpha Lance and Ryan. The same two men who had kidnapped her before and now they had the audacity to do it again. My lifelong enemies had not only violated the sanctity of our Pack, but they had taken the most important person in my life.My fists clenched and my body shook with rage. I felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and frustration at not being able to protect the one person who mattered most to me. My mind raced with thoughts of revenge and justice.How could they do this to us? What had we ever done to deserve this? I swore to myself that I would make them pay for what they had done. They had crossed a line that could never be uncrossed.I felt a deep ache in my heart as I thought of Lia's pain and suffering. The thought of her being at the mercy of my enemies made me feel sick to my stomach. I wanted to wrap her in my arms and protect her from the world.B
LIA'S POV.I was lying on my bed, reading a book when I heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. My heart began to race as I sat up and tried to listen for any other sounds. As I stood up to leave the room, I felt something strange in my throat. It was like a lump that wouldn't go away, and it made me feel sick.I stumbled towards the door, but my legs were shaking so much that I couldn't walk properly. I knew that something was wrong, and I needed to get downstairs to find out what was happening. As I made my way down the stairs, the feeling in my throat intensified, and I began to feel dizzy.Suddenly, I knew that I was going to throw up. I tried to hold it back, but it was too late. I ran towards the restroom and barely made it in time to throw up into the toilet. The taste in my mouth was disgusting, and I felt like I was going to be sick again.After a few minutes, I managed to compose myself and rinse my mouth with water. I knew that I had to get back downstairs to find out w
ASHER'S POV.I feel like I've been carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. The exhaustion of the past few weeks has finally caught up with me, leaving me feeling like a shadow of my former self. My mind is foggy and my thoughts are jumbled, making even the simplest tasks feel like a Herculean effort.I used to enjoy the simple things in life - a good meal, a warm shower, a book by the fire. But now, even these small pleasures have lost their appeal. My taste buds have dulled, and I can barely distinguish between flavors. The warmth of the water in the shower does little to soothe my aching muscles, and I find myself wanting to crawl back into bed instead.The world seems to be moving in slow motion, while I am stuck in quicksand. My mind is constantly racing, yet I feel like I am not making any progress. I can barely remember the last time I felt truly rested, truly at peace.I try to shake off these feelings and focus on the task at hand - the rebuilding of our Pack. But th
RAYA'S POV.I walked towards my Packhouse, my senses heightened and my heart beating with excitement. The guards all parted ways for me, as if they knew I was coming. I could sense the air of respect around me, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.As I walked through the Packhouse, I saw the Alpha King seated on his throne. He looked up at me, a sly smile on her face. "Well, well, well," he said. "If it isn't the prodigal daughter returning home."I walked up to him, trying my best to maintain my composure. "Hello, Your Majesty," I said. "It's good to be back."The Alpha King raised an eyebrow. "Is it?" he said. "You've been gone a very long time, Raya. Do you know how much trouble you've caused?"I felt a shiver go down my spine. I knew that the he was just teasing me, but there was always a hint of truth to his jokes. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty," I said. "I had to take care of some things."He leaned forward. "Well, now that you're back, you'll have to make it up to us," she
RAYA'S POV.As I walked through the ruins of Lance's Pack, my heart felt heavy with satisfaction and anger of still dealing with Lance. The destruction was palpable, and it seemed to seep into every pore of my being. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and ash, and the ground beneath my feet was littered with debris.The once-beautiful buildings were now nothing but a pile of rubble and broken concrete. The walls that had once stood tall and proud were now crumbled, like a stack of cards that had been knocked down by a gust of wind. The roofs that had once protected the inhabitants of the pack were now gone, leaving only the sky above.The silence was deafening. The only sound was the gentle rustling of the leaves as the wind blew through the trees. It was as if the Pack had been frozen in time, and I was the only one left to bear witness to the destruction.I walked through the ruins, my eyes scanning the scene in front of me. The buildings that were once the center of life in
ASHER'S POV.We were met with resistance, but we fought back with all our might. The sound of shattering glass and the smell of smoke filled the air as we made our way deeper into the facility.I saw Raya's deadly accuracy with her throwing knives as she took down an enemy guard. Raya's fighting skills were impressive as she dodged a punch and kicked her opponent in the gut. The rest of our warriors were equally skilled, and it was clear that we were a formidable force.I led the charge, taking down any guard that came in our way. We made our way to the center of the lab, where Lance had kept his most powerful anomalies. They were kept in cages, and it was clear that they had been mistreated and abused.I felt my anger and disgust boil inside of me. These creatures were innocent, and they had been used as weapons by Lance. We had to put an end to it. Without hesitation, we destroyed the cages, freeing the anomalies from their captivity.As we made our way out of the lab, I could hear
ASHER'S POV.As I walked into the quarters where the warriors Raya had brought were staying, I was immediately struck by the flurry of activity. There were people everywhere, rushing around and preparing for the mission ahead. Weapons were being sharpened and polished, gear was being packed and checked, and there was a general sense of excitement and anticipation in the air.I walked through the crowds, taking in the scenery and the way the warriors were scattered in groups, talking and laughing and preparing for battle. It was clear that these were experienced fighters, each one ready and willing to do whatever it took to ensure the success of our mission.As I made my way through the bustling crowds, I eventually found myself outside of Raya's room. I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should interrupt her, but ultimately decided that it was important to talk to her.As I opened the door, I was surprised to see Raya engaged in a passionate embrace with a man I didn't recognize. The
ASHER'S POV.As I stood on my balcony, overlooking the courtyard below, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in Raya. She had just returned from a meeting with the Alpha King, and she had brought back a large group of warriors with her. They were all gathered in the courtyard, discussing their plans to destroy the lab where Alpha Lance was breeding anomalies.I watched as Raya moved among them, her hair streaming behind her in the breeze. She looked fierce and determined, and I couldn't help but feel a swell of admiration for her. She had always been strong-willed and independent, and seeing her take charge like this was a sight to behold.The last mission was not any different from this one because Lance could be restructuring and regathering new warriors. It had been a dangerous mission, but we had succeeded in getting Lia back safely.Now, we were going back to Lance's Pack to destroy the lab where Lia's gene could have been used to perfect the anomalies. It was a risky plan,
ASHER'S POV.I wake up to the sound of Lia's breathing. Her eyes are still closed, but her lips are curled up in a small smile, making my heart skip a beat. I gently brush her hair away from her face and place a soft kiss on her forehead. She stirs slightly, but doesn't wake up. I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom.The warm water from the shower is soothing as it cascades down my body, washing away the sweat and dirt from last night's battle and lovemaking. My mind wanders to Lia and the way she moaned my name as we made love. The thought alone makes me hard again. I quickly finish my shower and wrap a towel around my waist before heading back to the bedroom.Lia is still asleep, but her breathing is more peaceful. I kiss her forehead again before getting dressed. As I walk out of the room, I feel a sense of excitement in my chest. I know what I want to do, and I'm eager to do it. I head down to the packhouse and meet with William, my beta, who greets me with a smile."Good morn
ASHER'S POV.As I leaned in for a kiss, I could feel the passion and desire burning inside of me. My lips met hers and the world disappeared around us. Lia kissed me back with an intensity that I had never felt before. Her lips were soft and warm, and I couldn't get enough of them.Our tongues entwined, exploring each other's mouths. I pulled her closer to me, my hands roaming over her body. Lia moaned softly, her hands gripping my shoulders. I could feel the electricity sparking between us, the chemistry palpable.As we kissed, I felt like I was finally home. Lia was my mate, my soulmate, and being with her was everything I had ever wanted. We pulled away from each other, panting and breathless.As I leaned in for the kiss, I felt a surge of electricity between us. Lia's lips were soft and warm, and her tongue danced around mine. I couldn't get enough of her. My hands roamed her body, feeling the curves and contours that I knew so well.Her body was mine, and I wanted to explore ever
