My skin was already heated and I broke out into a cold sweat as I heard his quiet, almost silent, footsteps thud on the floor as he walked into the Conference room/Palace. I turned around and walked up to the b*tch who was still cradling her bleeding face on the corner of the bed.I felt like inflicting more injuries on her before Asher would come here, since the guards would definitely be no match for him. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was captured. That would even be the best thing that had happened in years. If that happened by any chance, I would make sure I turned him into his worst nightmare.My mind was already making up the evil that would proceed his capture, but I didn't have to be too sure. I still had to wait to see how things would turn out. I could still hear his every move and every harsh sniff he made to catch the scent of his mate.Wolfsbane had been used on her, so it would take some doing before he would be able to find her using her scent. "Ryan, stop!" She mut
LIA.I did not believe it but here it was. Happening before my very eyes. She ran into the arms of her mate whose eyes were transfixed on me, he refused to stop staring at me and I didn't stop staring back. A taunting smirk was spread across my face as I watched him move about restlessly, obviously pained by the whole thing he was seeing. No sane man wouldn't be pained by that kind of thing though. I decided to keep my cool and see what he would do. He turned to look at his mate again and his heart sank. I knew it from the way he looked. He wasn't pleased a bit and I guessed he was looking for the perfect way to retaliate. I couldn't stop wishing for my father, perhaps things wouldn't have been this hard if he was here. They seemed to be equally matched as none of them were able to defeat the other. It always ended with both sides receiving the same amount of injuries. But the present situation was a whole thing altogether. Breaking into a cold sweat when I saw his chest rise in
LIA.He looked down at me murderously before turning towards her. He grabbed her hands and they walked out of the room together, hand in hand. But he soon carried her up and began to rush out of the Packhouse. I was sprawled in my room, still recovering from his strangle. My senses were slowly returning but I still felt dazed. There was an immediate rush of blood down my throat the moment he left me. I closed my eyes and took in large gulps of air while I heard their footsteps retreating from the Packhouse. I slowly opened my eyes, still noting the pulsating feeling in my forehead. The vein in the center of my head was beating very loudly so that I wondered what I was really going through within the few minutes Alpha Asher grabbed my neck like I was a criminal. I stayed in that position for a while and nobody came to attend to me, since I didn't want them to come help me. Perhaps Alpha Asher had warned me not to, or I'd be forced to face a bigger problem if I did. Thankfully I'd l
ASHER’S POVThe both of us left immediately after I had given him the lesson of his life. In that way he and his father would think twice about doing anything to attack my woman or something of that sort. Perhaps that would keep them away for a while but there was every possibility that they would attack or send warriors tomorrow, so the best thing was to make sure we were equipped.The best thing was to make sure that everyone didn't rest until it was over. Alpha Lance was a very Unforgiving and radical person, and anyone could know what he intended to do next. If we hadn't done it that way with his son, he wouldn't still have any respect for me and would jump at every chance to hurt and steal Lia from me whenever he got the chance.Alpha Lance could have been given a good lesson on that as well but he wasn't in the Pack when the whole thing was going on, so I guessed he would be back soon. I was pretty sure that the news had already reached him that we attacked the Pack, killed plen
ASHER’S POVThat was when my eyes caught something from a distance. A figure jumped down from one of the trees and began to come towards me. I wondered if something had gone wrong and they all had been taken captive. I hoped not, because they were the strongest warriors I had.William's scent continued to get closer and stronger than ever, and the fact that he hadn't responded to me through the mind link pissed me and scared me at the same time. It scared me because they might have been attacked, which was perhaps the trap Alpha Ryan was talking about when I met him in his room.I turned around impatiently, waiting to catch his aura that was now fading slowly. My eyes began to flit and observe every part of the woods. I remained in my position, my confidence unwavering. Shutting off every source of panic I continued to scan the area in anticipation of my Beta who seemed to be playing tricks on me.The figure continued to approach me, making me grow more and more confused. Then he sudd
Alpha Lance was restless on his car as they approached the car. He was simmering, more than ever, as he wondered if something else had happened since his son phoned him. He had already smashed the windows of one of his cars out of anger which was taking it stoll on him. He wasn't angry that Lia had been taken back to her mate's Pack.What angered him most was the fact that her mate, Alpha Asher was involved and also his actions which made it look like the Pack was weak. It was the first time he was beginning beginning react why he had brought up his son to become a tyrant and a sadist who couldn't put up a fight to protect himself if the need arrived, especially against his fellow Alphas.He only had the authority and the guards who would do anything he commanded, his personal strength was just regular, like that of evrry normal wolf and that was why he couldn't put up a fight when Alpha Asher invaded the Pack with his Pack of beasts and criminals, he thought.After a while, he looked
The next day was a very busy one as it was spent exposing most of the secrets about Lia and the things she had passed through while being held captive under Alpha Lance. She was more than a slave to him, or even worse. He used her like a laboratory experiment to achieve certain things he was after.Nobody knew what the specific things he wanted to do with her were, but it wasn't a good thing no matter what it was. We gave up trying to know what he might be using her for but we gave up, because we had other pressing issues to attend to before thinking about that. We had just received information that Alpha Lance had not been in the Pack the night we went to rescue my mate.And they said he was back, seeking revenge more than anything else. I couldn't have guessed any better. He was a violent man who always wanted blood to be shed, so I wasn't expecting anything less than that reaction when they said he had attended a bonding ceremony and that he would be back after he heard what we did
ALPHA ASHER’S POVThat was when I grew very concerned about her condition. The doctor had assured she would be OK and that she would heal faster once he applied medications on her, and that had been done last night.But with the look from the nurses and those who were on our way while rushing to the ICU, I knew something was definitely wrong. I did not stop to acknowledge the family that came to see me.They had informed me earlier that they were coming to join my Pack but this wasn't the time to stop and talk to anybody. I would be done for if anything happened to Lia, and I prayed that nothing had happened to her. She was the consolation I had left, and Ryan and his father would pay with their lives if her condition was life threatening.I was so worried that I couldn't think of anything else. I continued to pray fervently on our way, asking the Moon Goddess to help me overcome whatever it was. The best I could do for the family was to ask the Beta to take them where they would wait
