LIA.He dropped me daintily on the bed like I was an egg that shouldn't be cracked, causing tingly feelings to flush through me.Never had I imagined that a day would come when a girl like me would be treated like royalty, would be cared for. . . Not even in my craziest dreams."Lia please be careful," he spoke the exact moment I felt the bed dip, indicating that he sat on it.He held my leg, inspecting the bruise on me knee, his finger grazing it slightly, causing me to wince at the contact."It's not that bad," he stated, lifting his head to meet my gaze, causing a beautiful warm candle to light up within me."What were you looking at when she fell?" He turned to the maids who had their heads bowed, fury flames burning in his eyes that I was scared he'd hurt them."It-it's okay Asher, it's nothing serious. I'll be fine in a few days," I said in a bit to calm his fury."It could have been worse," he retorted, his voice low and hoarse, anger clearly still seeping through."I am fine
Lia.The car galloped into the streets and I pulled my head out of the window, letting the breeze take control of my hair.It's been ages since I journeyed in a car, I mostly take the walkways while sometimes I take the bus. There's never been a time I rode in a car, not once.And here I am, luxury knocking at my feets with maids at my neck and calling, the goddess finally shone her lights upon me.I exhaled deeply and pushed my head back into the car."You okay?" Pedro asked absentmindedly."Yeah" I mused a reply."How long have you been schooling here?" He asked as he made a quick swerve into the school compound."A year and half," he spared me a glance, "my uncle sent me here to monitor something for him." I revealed the ugly truth.He snatched his eyes from the road and stared at me, his eyes piercing deep into my skin."He really benefited from it huh, I see you're the reason why he knows our every move." His words sliced through my ears like a sharp edged knife.What does he me
Asher."Just calm down a bit Asher, you're rushing things!" Williams shouted, causing me to huff.I turned to glare at him, "calm down you say? How am I supposed to do that, eh?" I smirked and pushed him off my way."Search all the rooms, corners, make sure nowhere is left unsearched." I shouted out to the guards."Yes my Alpha!!" They bowed in unison and ran out of my sight.We were outside the Lalunga pack, we've searched the entire district and if she's not found I will take the search to Moon pack, I strongly believe Alpha Lucian has something to do with this.Lia can't just disappear into thin air, she barely knows this place and the guards at the gates confirmed not letting any woman out so how then did she vanish.I threw my fingers into my hair and groaned in frustration. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to know who it was.It was Williams, he walked to me with dropped shoulders and held my face closer to his."Use the mate thing" he whispered coozily and I shot my eyes
*•~•* Moon pack *•~•*.Lia."Uhhh… huhhhh"Screeches… groans ..Snaps…."Hahh!" A loud gasp brushed past my lips as my eyes snapped open.Where am I? I threw my head everywhere, trying to capture any sound or object but the room was so dark.All I could see was black and white, I placed my palm on my eye and wriggle it softly and slowly I could see a light.It was so dim that you'd seldom notice there was a lamp there. My throat started to itch and I tried to get up but I couldn't.My legs were heavy, I was definitely binded to something cause the more I wriggle to get free the more pains and heavy my legs get.I couldn't see clearly so I snaked my hands to them and found out I was chained. As my hands moved around looking for a trace to the keypad a liquid fell on the back of my palm.It was blood, I knew that because I smelt it. My legs were bleeding due to the heavy chains on them. How long have I been here?All I could remember was fainting after hearing Asher's wolf called my n
Laura.Williams has long gone and he hasn't returned yet, hasn't he found Asher yet? What do I do if he isn't found?I bit hard on my nails pacing to and fro the basement of my room. The clock ticked and my eyes connected to where it lay in a swift movement.Shit! It's just 30 minutes and I'm this panicked already, just come already Williams!!I stepped out to receive some fresh air as I was already dying of panic, I walked some length away from my room when I heard murmurs coming from the other side.I walked closer so I could hear them clearly and found out it was the maids. "I heard he is nowhere to be found, then what becomes of our pack?" One said in panic and that didn't go down well with me."Goddess forbids any of that, shh, how can you say such I'll words." The other maid said in surprise, signaling her to lower her voice.I stood at the brick of all this, muffling in my fears. What if they were right? What if something bad has happened and Williams is scared to tell me, jus
Lia.The cell gate started creaking and my pale body jumped to life, Is that Asher finally coming to rescue me?My limbs barely moved, as I released a breath I felt pains. They have become so pale that I fear they will tear if I cry or shout.A shadow appeared before my eyes, it was the shadow of a man whom I have great disgust for but unfortunately have developed so much dread for.Ryan. He has become so tall and giant since the day he pushed a slap across my face. I managed to pull myself up, balancing my weight on my right arm. My chained feets were starting to hurt.A bright light shone on me, almost rendering me blind. I was weak due to the coldness of the room, I couldn't even lift a finger, I just stared into the light wishing he would put it away soon."How are you coping in this frozen room? Do you want me to light a fire?" He frowned softly, sarcasm hovering over his words."Are you mocking me now, light a fire? Pfft.." I scoffed, "you can as well get me something to eat."
Laura.My joy knew no bounds when I saw Asher moving his fingers, I never expected him to wake up soon and he did. What a miracle."He's awake!!" The words came out in a scream, totally escaping me.Williams and Pedro rushed to check on him at once and the faces they wore was a sign of relief.Though Asher was awake but he barely kept his eyes open, his lips started to form words and we pulled close to him to hear what he had to say."Williams, Pedro.. Lia?" He said slowly, as if counting his words and who was he calling Lia?"Lia?" He said again this time with uncertainty written all over his face. I exchanged puzzled glances with the guys and stared at him again to be sure he wasn't seeing things and was actually referring to me.Seeing the happy smile on his face irrespective of his wounds, I moved my hand to his face and held his cheeks in a tender way, grazing it softly, "yes Asher, it's me, Lia." I almost smiled out my eyes as I gave him a reply.Yes, I shouldn't lie but it fee
Lia.It was the dawn of a new morning and my feets were like stone. I had slept in a very awkward position and now moving them is becoming so painful.My neck hurts, my body hurts. Can somebody come to rescue me please? My throat was so dry and my stomach won't stop grumbling for food.Is it until I die that Ryan would give me food, I'm merely a living corpse here.My body was hurting so much, I needed to move, else I would die. At least let me enjoy my last meal before leaving this cruel world.With this thought in mind I started to crawl, using all the remaining strength in me to pull myself forward. I continued crawling until the heavy chains around my legs clicked.I looked back beadily to see what was holding me back and found out it was the chains tied to my legs, I can't move away too much due to how short they were.Dammit!"I need something to eat, anybody!" I shouted suddenly, hoping within me that the guards outside would hear me."I need water, I'm dying of thirst here!"
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
