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

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.

LIA'S POV:As we stepped out of the elevator, my heart was pounding with fear and anxiety. I couldn't believe that someone had broken into the lab and stolen my medical reports. I knew that this was a serious matter and that Asher was doing everything he could to protect me and our pack.As we made our way back to the Packhouse, Asher was deep in thought. He seemed to be piecing together a plan in his mind, and I could see the determination etched on his face.As we walked back to the Packhouse, I could see the tension in Asher's shoulders. He was clearly worried about something, but I didn't know what it was. We walked inside and he immediately turned to William."William, I need you to get me two guards. We're leaving the Pack immediately."William looked at him in shock. "What? But Asher, we haven't haven't sent a message that we are on our way. How do you expect the guards to react if we encroach their Pack unannounced? That will only pose greater trouble. I think you should recon
