ALPHA ASHER’S POVWar was coming, and everyone knew it. It was in the air, I could sense it. It was very close, although it wasn’t happening yet. My father had been pissed when he heard about the death of the guards at the Pack boundary but he wasn't bothered so much about them.But he lost it when he was informed about the guards who Alpha Asher had killed in the Palace. Those were his best warriors and there was no speculation as to when he would get guards like that from this Pack. The only thing we had to do at the moment was to train the men we have while making arrangements to buy a large army, half of which will storm Alpha Asher’s Pack and retaliate.I don't know what my father had up his sleeve this time, he wouldn't let me know what he was planning but it was a very big, bad thing. And Alpha Asher surely wouldn't be able to defeat him once he was fully prepared. He was already making arrangements to complete everything during the day, have them reject their Packs and join ou
ALPHA ASHER’S POVAs soon as we were done taking care of the old men, their bodies were taken to where they would be buried. Their graves had already been dug before I even brought them for questioning. Their death was already certain even before now.They were nto gojgnto be cremated, as usual, because because had died on a very bad note. It was the rule, only honourable deaths like dying at war deserved burning at the pyre. People who didn't die honourably were either buried or their bodies thrown away or fed to beasts or birds.But I wouldn't do the others because the men had done many things for the Pack doctor during their time. So they still had a bit of my respect for me even though I hated them so much now. There was nothing that could be done to change what they had done and I was not willing to take a risk by accepting their pleas and giving them back their positions or allowing them to join the Pack.The deed had already been done and there was no going back now. They all d
ALPHA ASHER’S POVThere were at least sixteen men sitting in the room. A skull filled with ink was also right in front of me, on top of the table. Five empty chairs were at the other end of the long table while the rest were filled.The empty chairs would have contained the council wjo had just been killed and I could see the perplexity on their faces faces they sae that the seats meant for the council men were empty. We started the meeting anyway another having having explain to them what had happened.They would soon discover what had happened themselves. I began to talk to them about the several threats we had faced since I had made it known to them that there would be a war and haow we had faced some infiltration in the Pack border lately.They nodded their heads in approbation ad I explained every single thing to them. After that I had to thank them for the cooperation so far, how how had dedicated the week to training the new recruits while making sure themselves themselves the
ASHER.I jerked up immediately when the alarm clock went off. I jerked up, my eyes snapping open immediately as I looked around for the alarm. I reach towards it to grab it and put it off but I knock it over the table and it falls to the other side, I curse silently silently and try to stretch my hand and it doesn't reach. I got out of bed immediately and went to grab it, only to discover I had shattered the glass.I grabbed it and showed it back to the floor before walking to my wardrobe. I stood there for a while, not knowing what I would do exactly. I was lost in thought but I turned and went towards the bathroom as soon as I came back to my senses. After a wash up and a change of clothes, I put on some cologne and decided to take a walk around the Pack but that's that's a knock came sounding on my door.I prick my ears towards the spend while wondering who my guards could have granted access to come to my Chambers at this time of the morning. Besides, it was very early so I wasn'
LIA'S POV.My senses seemed to return at full force, I jerked up from my bed and began to breathe furiously with my heart pounding in my chest. Memories began to flash in my mind. I remembered everything that had happened to me, everything Alpha Ryan and his cruel father had done to me.How he had tied me to that post with my legs spread wide how he had raped me mercilessly and made sure Alpha Ashe caught us in the act. I was still surprised that Asher had been merciful enough enough listen to me and still love me. I thought he would have disposed of me immediately or that he would have even allowed me to stay back at the Pack with him since he deified me.I knew that if he hurt Ryan, Alpha Lance would do practically anything to get back at him and that was why I needed him not to touch Ryan. He was a spoilt brat who was always fought for. He couldn't even defend himself against an ordinary Psck guard, I wonder how he would be able to lead the Pack even though he had such a large arm
ASHER’S POVThe only sound in the room was the constant tick of the clock and the chirp of the birds outside. Her face was filled with beads of sweat, covered in perspiration. I took a magazine right beside me and began to fan her beautiful face. Ever since the Pack doctor discovered the chip and had taken it out, she had been getting better since then.Everything about her was changing for the better and I couldn't wait to have her restored to a better condition. My thoughts were broken when she stirred. Her face looked a bit troubled as if she was having one of her nightmares about Alpha Lance and his son, her tormentors.Anytime I saw her in that condition reminded me why I should do everything to make sure that I avenged her, that I should catch them alive and as soon as the war was over and make their life a living hell, in such a way that nobody would forget. My jaws clenched with hatred hatred as I stared into space. Inwas snapped out of my thoughts again when she stirred a sec
LIA'S POV"Sure, of course. I can, at least I am no longer afraid of them. Everything feels pretty much better now, even though I still get those recurring dreams." I said, glancing at him. I was very surprised at the way my body had responded to treatments lately, despite the nagging pain that I felt in my neck.It felt like it had been opened and a part of me had been taken out. I wondered if I had undergone some kind of surgery but I kept it to myself. Asher probably wouldn't be happy if I asked too many questions considering my present condition. He had been through a lot because of me, and he was even willing to do more because of me.Nobody had ever lived me that way. And I never envisaged that my mate would be an Alpha, talk more of being this protective. I concluded at the end that I was very lucky. Where I got baffled was that he still did all this 4ven after what Alpha Ryan made him see when he had come to rescue me.I was surprised as well when he opened up to me, telling t
LIA'S POVJust then the door opened and the priest sauntered into the room, flanked by two other guards. He was carrying what looked like an old scribe. I wondered how old the book was and what it contained. They walked towards us and he stopped just right in front of Asher."You sent for me, Alpha." He said, lowering his head in reverence. "Yes, you are needed right now." He replied before gesturing to him to come after us while asking me to walk in front of him."So you were telling me about the conditions I am expected to keep to get better. When are you going going let me know what they are?" I asked him but he was quiet for a few seconds before he answered."This is not the right time, Lia. You should be thinking about what's about to happen. That will come later when you have recovered from the rejection." He explained. "Recovered? Is there something you're telling me? Is this very bad or am I going to be used like some lab experiment?" I asked, looking at him incredulously."No
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
