I knew that Lia had been worried about her health, and it's a relief to know that she's okay. I thank the doctor for his quick action before taking her hand.She was healthy and strong, and I knew that she would make a great Luna for our pack. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a tight embrace, feeling a sense of joy and contentment. The people around us watched admirably, and I could see the pride and happiness in their eyes.As I take Lia's hand in mine, I can feel the energy of the pack members around us. They watch us admiringly, their eyes filled with pride and excitement. I can see the happiness on their faces as they see us together, united as Alpha and Luna.

ALPHA ASHER’S POVAs I open my eyes, I am immediately enveloped by the warmth and comfort of the room. The large king-sized bed I am lying on is dressed in crisp white sheets, the soft fabric caressing my skin as I stretch out. The room is decorated with a minimalist style, with a neutral color palette and simple, elegant furnishings. The large windows let in the morning sunlight, casting a soft glow over the room. The hardwood floor is covered with a plush white rug, adding a sense of warmth and coziness to the space. I can't help but feel a sense of contentment as I take in my surroundings.The sheets are soft against my skin, and I can feel the warmth emanating from her body as she sleeps peacefully beside me. My eyes can't help but be drawn to her curves. The satin fabric hugs her body in all the right places, highlighting her hourglass figure. The lace detailing is delicate and feminine, adding a touch of elegance to the overall look. She catches me staring and gives me a playful
LIA'S POVAs I lay there, pretending to still be asleep, I couldn't help but wonder what was going on. I could feel something was off and I knew that Asher was keeping something from me. As soon as he left the room, I got up and walked over to the window. I looked down and saw him talking with William, his Beta. I couldn't hear their conversation from where I was, but I could tell that it was serious.I quickly got dressed and left Asher's chambers, making my way to my own. I took a quick brush up, and then I set out to find Asher and find out what was going on. As I walked through the packhouse, I couldn't help but notice the worried expressions on the faces of the pack members I passed. Something was definitely wrong, and I was determined to find out what this thing was going to be, knowing fully well Asher wouldn't want me out in this weather.As I walk out of Asher's room, I can't shake off the feeling that something is wrong. I quickly make my way back to my own chambers, my mind
ALPHA ASHER'S POV.I turned to Lia. "Hey, I need you to go back to our chambers. I can't have you out here, it's not safe," I said, my voice firm but gentle.She looked up at me with a determined expression, "I want to help. I want to be here for you," she replied.I placed a hand on her shoulder, "I know you do, but I need you to be safe. I can't focus on finding the attackers if I'm worried about your safety."She hesitated for a moment, her eyes scanning my face before she finally relented. "Fine, I'll go back," she said, a hint of disappointment in her voice.I leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead. "I'll come find you as soon as I can," I promised.As she walked away with one of the guards, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for sending her away. But I knew it was for the best. I had to protect my mate at all costs, and that meant keeping her out of harm's way.As I walked into the infirmary, my heart was heavy with dread. My pack, my family, had been atta
LIA'S POVI did not leave after Asher had asked me to. I decided to hang on for a few minutes.As I walked deeper into the hospital, my nose was on high alert, picking up on every scent that crossed my path. I couldn't help but be surprised by how familiar the scent seemed. It was almost like mine, but not quite. I couldn't help but wonder if I had turned into a beast overnight, the thought made me chuckle to myself.I sniffed around, trying to figure out where the familiar scent was coming from. I walked through the hospital rooms, each one more cluttered and destroyed than the last. The doctors were all injured, some more severely than others. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for not being there to help, for not being able to protect them. But there was nothing I could do now.As I walked down the hall, I noticed a door that was slightly ajar. I pushed it open and was met with the most intense version of the scent I had been following. Was this the scent that Asher couldn'
Alpha Asher.As I received the message through the mind link, my heart skipped a beat. My guard had just informed me that Lia had escaped her room. I couldn't believe it, I had specifically told them to watch over her and keep her safe. I immediately ordered the guard to go back and check on her, but to my surprise, she had vanished. My mind raced with worry and concern as I wondered where she could have gone and if she was safe.As I received the message through the mind link, I immediately informed William about Lia's escape. "She's changed after the doctor treated her, I can't help but worry about her," I said to him, as we walked through the woods, following the trail.William looked at me with understanding in his eyes. "She's a grown woman, Asher. You can't force her to do things she doesn't want to do. She's probably just exploring, or maybe she wanted to help out with the investigation."I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. "But what if something happens to her? What i
LIA'S POVI slip into the doctor's office, my heart pounding in my chest. The room is dimly lit, and the drawers are scattered all over the place. I can't help but feel a twinge of unease as I begin to look around, searching for anything unusual.The office is small and cramped, with a desk in the center of the room and a few filing cabinets pushed up against the walls. The walls are a pale yellow, and the floor is made of scuffed linoleum. The desk is cluttered with papers and medical equipment, and there's a small computer on one corner. The drawers of the filing cabinets are metal, and they are labeled with different categories such as "Patient Records" and "Lab Results." They are slightly ajar and papers are sticking out of them. Some of the drawers are open, and the contents are scattered on the floor.As I enter the doctor's office, I can't help but notice how dimly lit the room is. The lights flicker, casting eerie shadows across the room, and I can't shake the feeling that I'm
LIA'S POV:As I approach Asher and his Beta, I can feel his eyes on me, taking in every detail of my appearance. I try to hide my discomfort as he wraps his arms around me in a tight embrace, asking if I'm alright. I nod, trying to push away the feeling of suffocation that his embrace brings. He starts to berate me for not listening to him and staying back at my chambers, but I push him away. I can't help but feel frustrated, I know he's only worried about me but I can't shake off the feeling that he doesn't trust me.ASHER'S POVI receive a message through the mind link from one of my guards, informing me that Lia has been seen sneaking around the pack infirmary. I immediately order for her to be brought to me outside the hospital. I can't help but worry for her safety, especially after the recent attack on the infirmary and her own personal involvement in the incident. I wait anxiously outside the hospital, pacing back and forth as I await her arrival.As I stand there discussing wi
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
