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
ALPHA ASHER’S POV"I was just wondering if anything could be done about her condition. Is there anything that can help her recover from the chip thing after she must have been out of the hospital? I want to know if there is something that could be done to help her get back her wolf?" I asked, looking up at him, desperate for an answer, wishing as well that it would be a positive one.He nodded instantly, a knowing look flashing across his face."Of course Ryan, of course. We have taken the first step which is removing the chip from her body. In fact with this done, she has already started to regain her wolf. But it will take some time depending on what happens after she is back." My brows slanted inquisitively."What do you mean?" He responded almost immediately. "What I mean is that she has to be relieved of many duties. Anything that will put her into stress. Anything that will make her tipsy emotionally, anything that will cause her pain, make her cry, make her remember a bad memor
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
