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
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI arrived at the cabin, but to my disappointment, there was nobody there. The cabin was empty, and the only sound that filled the air was the howling of the wind. I felt a pang of disappointment in my chest, as if my hope had been dashed into a million pieces.I slowly walked towards the door, and as I put my hand on the doorknob, I felt a shiver run down my spine. I pushed the door open and stepped inside, and the cold air hit me like a slap in the face. The cabin was completely barren, and it looked like it hadn't been occupied for years.My heart sank as I scanned the room, hoping to find some clue that could lead me to Lia. But there was nothing, just an empty room with a few old chairs and a wooden table.I felt a sudden urge to scream, to let out all the anger and frustration that was bubbling inside me. I fell on my knees and let out a loud cry, my head hung low as perspiration streamed down my face. I felt lost and helpless, like I had failed Lia.The cabin w
LIA'S POV.I wake up groggy, my mind still cloudy from the effects of the sedative. My head hurts, and I struggle to focus my eyes on the surroundings. As I try to move, I realize my wrists and ankles are bound, the restraints cutting into my skin.Panic sets in as I frantically try to free myself. The fear is overwhelming, and I feel the familiar tightness in my chest as I remember where I am. I'm in the hands of Alpha Lance, my captor, and my mate's lifelong enemy.I try to call for help, but my voice is weak, barely a whisper. No one comes to my aid, and the silence only adds to my fear. I feel helpless and vulnerable, my fate uncertain.My heart races as I struggle to free myself, but the restraints hold me in place. I'm trapped, with no escape in sight. My mind races, trying to come up with a plan, but I feel so powerless.As I try to calm myself down, I realize that I'm no longer feeling the effects of the sedative. Instead, I feel a surge of energy coursing through my veins, an
LIA'S POV.As I was being wheeled out of the laboratory, I could feel the weight of my body increasing, and I couldn't move a muscle. It was as though every drop of energy had been drained from my body. The white tiles on the wall and ceiling above me seemed to move in a blur, as my eyes refused to focus. My heartbeat was the only sound I could hear, and it sounded so weak.The wheels of the gurney screeched loudly on the smooth tiled floor, and I couldn't help but wonder where they were taking me. The machines attached to my body beeped rhythmically, and I tried to focus on the sound, hoping that it would calm me down.As we moved further down the hallway, I could see the silhouettes of several people in white coats walking around, and I couldn't help but wonder if they knew what was going on. I tried to call out to them, but my voice was nothing but a weak whisper. Nobody paid me any attention, and we continued down the hall.We finally reached a large steel door, and Alpha Lance an
ASHER'S POV.As I was about to embark on my mission to rescue Lia, I was interrupted by one of my guards. He informed me that a very dangerous woman had just entered the Pack. My mind immediately went to Raya, Lia's sister. I was filled with anger and worry at the same time. I rushed towards the boundary, hoping to intercept her before she could cause any harm.But to my surprise, Raya was already coming towards me with a taunting chuckle. I growled at her, my anger boiling inside of me. How dare she show up here after what she did to Lia? I glared hard at her, trying to suppress my urge to pounce on her.As I look over Raya, I can see that she is dressed just as I would have expected an assassin to be. She's wearing a tight-fitting black bodysuit that clings to her every curve, making her look even more dangerous and deadly. The suit seems to be made of some kind of synthetic material that almost shimmers in the light, giving her an almost ethereal quality.The bodysuit is designed t
LIA'S POV.I open my eyes and see a group of people standing around me. My head feels heavy and my body feels numb. I try to speak, but my voice is weak and barely audible. Am I dead? Is this the afterlife?Then I see Alpha Ryan, and I'm filled with a sudden rage. How dare he kidnap me and bring me to this place? I try to scream at him, but my throat is dry and it hurts to even make a sound. I glare at him with all the anger I can muster.One of the doctors says something about it working, and I wonder what they're talking about. What's working on me? I force myself to remain calm and try to observe my surroundings.The room is sterile and bright, with machines beeping and whirring in the background. Wires and tubes are attached to my body, leading to machines and monitors that I don't understand. I see the doctors watching me, their expressions intense and focused.I start to feel extremely tired, like my body is being pulled into a deep sleep. I try to fight it, but the exhaustion i
LIA'S POV.I wake up to the sound of chaos. There are people running everywhere, shouting orders and commands. Confusion overwhelms me as I try to get my bearings, but it's hard to focus with so much commotion going on around me.I'm lying on a table, surrounded by strange machines and equipment. And then, as my eyes finally adjust to the bright lights, I see Alpha Lance standing over me, a murderous look on his face.Before I can even process what's happening, a guard runs in and delivers the news that the Pack is being approached by a hostile group, and they appear to be preparing for war.My heart races as I realize that this could be my chance to escape. But before I can even move, Lance barks orders at the scientists to finish their experiment.I hear the sound of wheels and machinery as they rush to get me out of the room. I know that I must fight, that I can't let them restrain me again.I try to struggle, but the restraints are too strong. Panic sets in as I realize that time
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
