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: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
ASHER'S POVAs I lead my men towards the boundary, my mind is racing with thoughts of what could be waiting for us on the other side. I know that this is a risky move, but I am determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. As we approach their boundary, I can see the guards of the Blackmoon Pack standing on the other side, their eyes locked on us. I raise my hand in greeting, trying to exude an air of calm and confidence, even though my heart is pounding in my chest.As we come to a stop in front of the guards, I can see the scrutiny in their eyes. They are sizing us up, trying to determine if we are a threat or not. I take a deep breath and begin to speak, introducing myself and my men. I explain that we have come to investigate the attack on our Pack and that we have been granted access by their Alpha.The guards exchange a look before one of them steps forward. He tells me that they have been expecting us and that they will escort us to their Alpha. I nod, relieved that they hav
ASHER'S POVI was told by one of Alpha Enzo's guards to join him at dinner. I left my room and met my guards outside the door. Together, we walked towards the dining room.As we entered the dining room, my eyes were immediately drawn to the large, ornate table that stood at its center. The table was made of dark, polished wood and was surrounded by high-backed chairs upholstered in rich, red velvet. The room was dimly lit by candelabra that hung from the ceiling, casting a warm, golden glow over the entire space.The maids were busy serving the food, moving gracefully between the table and the kitchen. They wore simple, black dresses and white aprons, their hair pulled back in tight buns. They were efficient and silent, their movements almost choreographed as they placed plates of steaming food in front of each guest.I could smell the delicious aroma of the food as I walked towards my seat, my mouth starting to water in anticipation. There was a variety of dishes on the table, includ
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I opened my eyes and let out a contented sigh as I stretched my arms and legs, relishing in the comfort of my bed. As I sat up, I could feel the sunlight filtering in through the window, bathing the room in a warm golden glow. I took a deep breath, taking in the crisp, clean scent of the forest that surrounded his home.With a smile on my face, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. Getting inside, I splashed some cold water on my face, feeling the chill awaken my senses. I looked at myself in the mirror, taking note of the slight dark circles under my eyes. I decided immediately that I needed a good run through the woods to shake off the grogginess.I made my way out of the room, relishing the cold weather outside. The sun was slowly rising but the Pack was still quiet and asleep.I stripped down, my clothes falling to the floor in a heap. Embracing the sensation of being unencumbered and free, I closed my eyes and le
ALPHA ASHER'S POVI shifted into my wolf form, my senses heightened as I followed the trail. My nose led me through the woods, past trees and underbrush, as I slowly and cautiously approached the figure moving in the distance. I crept closer, my body tense as I prepared for the worst.As I got closer, I could see that it was a wolf, just like me. I tensed, ready to pounce if necessary.I continued to tread carefully as I approached the wolf. I took in its scent, and my heart raced with excitement as I realized this was the wolf I had been searching for. The culprit was right in front of me.As I continued to advance, I noticed the scars across its body, marking its struggles and battles. I gazed into its eyes, trying to make out any familiarities. But, there was something that nagged at me, something familiar about this wolf that I couldn't place.And then it hit me. The wolf's scent was familiar, so familiar that it felt like I had known it all my life. I was sure I had seen this wol
