LIA'S POVThe bed and the sheets dipped the kkemnt he stood up to leave. Also, the feeling of warmth that had surrounded me suddenly seemed to disappear even though the room had grown quite hot at the moment. I turned immediately towards him and asked."Where are you going?" I pouted as he was smiling."Got some things to take care of about the war." His raspy voice said before he looked back at the door."But you said that things were already OK Because I had rejected his Pack. Isn't that what you said to me?" I asked him while introspection if that's what he had actually said. And it was. There was nothing else he had said to me back then. He soon began to explain himself, which made me breathe out a frustrated sigh."Yes you have rejected him Pack but we still have to make sure that the Pack is protected. We won't be as strict as before, so there won't be much work. Just a few things that would lure them and that's all." He said, slowly walking back to the bed. He sat gently beside
⁸ASHER'S POVLia didn't seem to want any human interaction when I got out. The locking of the door immediately I got out signified that she wanted to be left alone. William and I ambled down the stairs on the way to the Packhouse. Lia's Chambers and that of the servants preceded the Packhouse, so it was a long walk.As soon as we got there, we sat down to discuss where we would meet that morning. At this time, nobody was still up. The Pack was still silent and the moon was slowly giving way to say. The merry chirp of the birds was the only thing that could be heard outside, and of course the banners of warriors as they went about, preparing to go into training."So where do you suggest the meeting takes place? It's very important that we get this done now so we won't have to worry about strategies and all that again." I asked William as I was feeling a bit disinterested about the whole thing.I needed to get myself out of the feeling of weakness that had already formed within the shor
ALPHA ASHER’S POV"What do you think William, how long do you think this is going to go because I would have to calm Lia down before she goes out of her fucking mind." I asked him, gazing at the activity down in in sidewalk. There were a few men there, moving something towards their camps shouting after one another. One man was at the edge, commanding them with yells. "What did she say this time around?" He asked, looking at me steadily. "She thought her rejecting Lance would bring the war war an immediate end, but I told her it wouldn't. And somehow somehow she flared, so I'm guessing she is upset at the moment" I replied him, gazing back at him. A smile crossed his features as turned back to look at the movement downstairs. "Under normal circumstances, it should. But you know Alpha Lance is not the kind of person who will bend to any man. He will make sure he does everything possible possible to back his pound of flesh. Bit anything is possible though, he should be devastated at
ALPHA ASHER’S POV "I guess that's the end of our gathering. I want to thank each and everyone of you for making this a success. Please do not hesitate to get to me if you have any idea about what we can do to salvage the situation. I will be very happy to listen to what you have to say by then. With that I hereby bring the meeting to a close. For those who are manning different camps, make sure you instruct your men about everything we just discussed here. Make sure you repeat it again and again to get it into their heads. With everything that we discussed here, we should be able to get everything done without wasting too much time. The war shouldn't shouldn't for long because we know everything they would probably do. We can't afford to make any stupid mistakes, any mistake we make would factor greatly in our loss. And losing is not an option. Nobody wants to lose to anyone, especially to people who have treated us like shit. Anyone who has the mind to keep my mate away from me,
ALPHA ASHER’S POV "Good" I said before walking out of the room. There was no other place to go apart from Lia's Chambers. I needed to be with her every now and then to make sure that she was OK. Each time I remembered what those bastards had done to her, my heart clenched with hate. And the thought of killing the both of them never left my head. From there I trudged towards where my mate was, I knew she wouldn't be up by now but I still went. When I got there the guards were still standing guard. Acknowledging a second time again, I walked into the room. The warmth wrapped around my body immediately, exterminating every atom of coldness on my body. I shivered at the feeling and walked to the seat in front of her where I sat down and began to watch her. She was fast asleep. After a few minutes I got bored and felt like leaving but there was no other place to go apart from here. I tried my best to ignore the sick mate bond that has been disturbing me ever since she got up from the ho
ALPHA RYAN'S POV"F*ck! F*ck!! F*ck!!!" My father screamed as he kicked the furniture. I was trying trying get his attention to know why he was very livid with himself but he wasn't talking to me, instead he was venting his spleen on an innocent chaise-lounge. I kept standing at the entrance of his room, gazing steadily at him and he went about damaging things in his room. "You need to be very careful with that thing dad, if you destroy any important document we might be done for." I said but he ignored me and began to pace the room like a caged beast. Every now and then he kicked and punched something before walking around again. I had been standing here for more than 10 minutes, trying to understand why he was this livid with himself bjt he wasn't saying at all so I was guessing what his problem was. I was wondering why he was very angry and decided to ask him again. "Father please talk to me, you can't keep hiding things away from me. Talk to me about what is troubling you, mayb
ALPHA RYAN'S POV'So what do you want to do, huh? You want to go there. You can take your army there, but I won't forgive you when they bring back your ashes. Things could have been easier and soft if not because of your foolish decision to keep her. Now they are already step ahead of us. What do you want me to do?" He thundered at me before walking back to his bed. He sat there, glaring into.the distance before glancing at me.I would have been dead if looks could kill. The kind of power his look carried could bore through a person's soul. I swallowed and answered."All this went wrong the moment you chose to keep everything to yourself, you would not tell anyone about your next plan. You never consulted me or told me anything about how you were preparing for the war. You kept everything to yourself and you are now blaming me in the end. What do you want me to do about it?" I returned, feeling a bit tense about his next response. I was expecting him to hit me again considering the am
ALPHA RYAN'S POVHe did not like what I had said but I did not have any other choice than to return his sarcastic remarks so he would thread carefully when he talked to me."You see why I say you are foolish. How long did it take you before you got the hint that I am no longer part of your cause you can go on and do whatever you want. But don't involve me in any of it. Want you to leave right now and I don't want you to return to my Chambers again unless I need you here. Meet the generals, they will tell you everything you need to know. But I want to promise you one thing, I won't forgive you if those warriors die tomorrow. I will make sure of it.""That's all I needed to hear father" I said before walking out of the room. I took a deep breath once I was out of his Chambers. Why was he always enraged?These days he was angry most of the time, and the news that Lia had rejected our Pack added to that anger, now it looked like he was getting mentally deranged. I sighed, shaking my head
