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
ALPHA RYAN."Besides he's an old man already. We have two generals and I'm sure both of you can take care of that. Am i right?" I asked, glaring at him."Of course your grace, the both of us can take care of the boys." He said, which made me smile. He would have made the biggest stake of its life by saying no.Turning around, I began to walk back towards the Packhouse, my strength utterly drained. I do not understand why things were going on this way but one thing I knew for sure was that it was happening for a good reason. I couldn't get myself to understand why my father was taking the decision he had already made.It came out of nowhere and it was drastically going to change everything but there was no problem with it since everything was happening a day before they would leave, so I'm guessing they had already received the training they needed and he must have thought them everything everything everything needed to now about the Pack we were going to besiege tomorrow.If things go
ALPHA RYAN.The blare of my alarm had be jumping up from the bed. I looked around frantically as I wondered what was going on. Despite the blare from my alarm, there was still another blare downstairs.Something that sounded like the trumpet of war. I tried understand what was happening but I couldn't see anything. I wondered if we had been attacked by Alpha Asher, has the war already began?Had my men been killed? I thought as I frantically wedged myself out of the bed. I shut my alarm immediately before I walked towards the window side to see what was happening. I looked down only to discover that the men were already lined up on the terrain, and they were doing their final training.I smiled, before turning around to walk inside the room. I was very impressed with the way things were going on, my father would be utterly disappointed when they did what he thought they couldn't. Only till dawn and all this would be over, and Alpha Asher’s case would be treated once and for all.I w
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
