Sophie's POV

I got inside exhausted; the whole house was empty, and for the first time in a while, I didn't feel burnt out from cigarettes and alcohol; I was taken for that.

Maybe he had gone out drinking and came home drunk when the cops came to pick him up. I sighed and walked up to my room, exhausted. I pushed the door open and stripped my clothes. I got into the shower and soaked there for what felt like hours before I finally got out.

I wondered if I had done the right thing by reporting Dad to the cops. He looked so furious and disappointed.

I packed my hair into a bun and put on baggy clothes. I picked up my phone and remembered about Charlotte. Maybe talking to her about everything would make me feel a little better.

I dialed her number, which rang for a while before I heard her answer.

"Hey, Sophie," I heard her voice from the other end. She sounded sleepy, and I knew you must have woken her up as it wasn't even noon yet. I felt guilty for bothering her as I bit on my lower l

    "Wait!" Charlotte heard as she ran out of the pack house to meet Sophie, who sounded like she was crying. Charlotte turned back to see Asher walking towards her and pouted."I will be back before you know it, Asher. I really have to be there for Sophie. She sounded real. I don't know how.to explain, but she needs me. I have to meet her, please understand. And I'm not saying she's more important to me than you are, but now I have to be a good friend and make sure she's alright. I know it makes you mad, but I just have to""It's fine, Charlotte," Asher cut her off as she ranted, thinking he would prevent her from leaving. Asher had an amused expression on his face as he stared at her. His lips were pulled up to a smile, and he heaved heavily."I'm not stopping you from leaving Charlotte," He said, and Charlotte had a surprised expression on her face."You're not?" She asked to be sure she heard right, and he nodded."Yes, I'm not stopping you from leaving. As much as I don't want you to

    Third person povAs Asher drove down the silent, lonely, narrow path, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong and something terrible would happen. The trees towered above him, casting deep shadows that made it difficult to see. He had been driving for what felt like hours, and the GPS on his phone insisted that he was still miles away from the pack house.Suddenly, without warning, the black sedan that had been following him appeared out of nowhere, speeding down the road with a screech of tires. Asher's heart raced as the sedan swerved into his lane, heading straight for him.Asher tried to swerve out of the way, but it was too late. The sedan slammed into his car with a loud crash, sending him careening off the road and into a nearby tree. The impact was immense, and Asher's head hit the steering wheel with a sickening thud.The windscreen shattered, sending shards of glass flying everywhere, and the airbag deployed with a loud pop. Asher's world went dark as he f

I decided to call Asher to inform him that I would be at the pack house a little later than I planned. Sophie was finally cheering up; I didn't want to leave until I confirmed she was okay.I took out my phone and dialed Asher's number. I waited while it rang for a while before he finally answered. "Hey, Asher, I think I might come around later than I planned today," I said, biting my lower lip in guilt. I had promised to return to the pack house soon, but Sophie needed me, and I couldn't just leave her without making sure she was going to be fine first.There was a few seconds of silence, and I wondered if he was taking in my words or thinking of what to say to me. Or perhaps he was annoyed and didn't want to talk.I parted my lips to speak again, but I heard a voice that made me pause."Hello Charlotte, it's not Asher, it's Tyler. I'm sure you remember me," I heard him speak and

    Charlotte's POVThe doctor, Bell, paused for a while, and then her expression softened, and she offered a small smile. "Asher is fine. He needs a few days to heal, but he is going to be okay," Doctor Bell announced, and everyone simultaneously let out a breath of relief.I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, and my heart swelled with gratitude. We had all been on edge, awaiting news of Asher's condition.And now, the doctor was out with a smile on her face and was assuring us that Asher would be fine and would recover quickly.Luna Jasmine gasped and ran to her husband, who hugged her back. He stroked her hair softly, and I heard him number something along the lines of, "I told you not to worry, Love. Doctor Bell is here, and she'll make sure Asher recovers quickly," He said, and Luna only nodded quietly.But then, the doctor dropped a bombshell. "Asher is now conscious, which is abnormal, given the severity of his injuries. However, as the Alpha's son, he's stronger than most."Luna

"I will be out now," I said, and she nodded and left. I turned to Asher and kissed his forehead. "I have to leave now; I'll be back tomorrow, promise, I said to him, and he smirked back at me. "You don't have to worry about me; I'll be fine," He said, trying to act strong, and I rolled my eyes at him. "I know," I said and got up; I waved at him and left the room. Sophie and Tyler were still sitting where I had left them. They were having a conversation, and Sophie had a little smile on her face. I frowned; although Tyler was close friends with Asher, I still didn't like or want him around me. He was my bully, and that would never change. From how he reacted at the dance night, I knew he wasn't too happy to learn Asher and I were together, not that I cared about what he liked and didn't. "Come on, Sophie, let's go," I said, and she

Could it be.. the same Humphrey?I shook my head; no, it couldn't be. Why would he? How could he.. was he stupid?Being popular in school made everyone want me as their friend and boyfriend. And as many friends as the popularity brought me, it also gathered enemies for me.I knew there were some boys who didn't like me, with that idea that every girl around was fawning over me, and even their crushes and girlfriends shamelessly threw themselves at me.However, since I was not only popular but also came from an influential family, they didn't dare to face me. I was the only son and heir of the Alphas and Luna; I knew every parent wanted their children to be acquainted with the son of the Alphas.And even though they didn't like me, they would put on fake smiles around me and try to make me notice them, not just the boys, but the desperate gir

    Asher's POV "That's all, Master Asher, you're healing so well and fast; it's very impressive!" The nurse said with a slight blush on her face."When do I get to leave here?" I asked her coldly, and she remained silent for a while before checking her note."Well, according to the hospital policies, you'll still have to stay for about a week until we are sure you're okay and fit to leave," She said, and I scoffed. A week? I was going to be couped up in this room for a week. "A week?" I hissed at her. "I'm healing just fine. I don't feel weak or tired; there's only a little scratch on my head that has stopped bleeding, and I will probably leave there by tomorrow. I don't need to stay here all couped up in this room for another week, all in the name of healing," I said, and she flinched at how harsh my tone was, not that I cared about her."W.. well, you can't leave, according to the hospital -""I am the son of the Alphas; I'm not just some regular patient here; you all should be grate

A lady has to take her time to dress," She said, and I rolled my eyes."That should be my line," I huffed at her, and she just smiled. We got out of the house and got into the cab that was waiting outside the door.I gave him the address of Mom's hospital, and we set off. On the way to the hospital, I texted Asher to make sure he was okay, and I was surprised when he informed me that he was going to be discharged today. Wasn't it too early?It's barely been three days since the accident and since he was rushed there. I sighed, thinking about how fast his injuries must have healed; he was the Alpha's son, after all, and was stronger than the bunch. The hospital probably only helped speed up his recovery and monitored him. Knowing Asher, I knew he was kind enough to nag and complain about everything, including not staying in the hospital for so lon

I growled to the phone and hung up.Someone knocked on my door, and I mumbled for the person to enter. A blonde maid entered with a tray; I was a bit surprised, that was fast from the chef.The tray had a bowl containing some kind of soup in it. I watched her drop the tray on the table, and she bent in front of me, making her white lacy underwear visible. I knew what she was trying to do, so I pulled her by the skirt. She landed on my thigh and made a soft moan-like sound."Master Asher," she whispered seductively, and her eyes blinked in fake innocence. I stared at her for a moment, wondering if I should throw her on the bed and fuck the life out of her, but for some reason, I couldn't. Charlotte's sweet face appeared in my head, and I couldn't imagine touching some other girl that wasn't her. I was suddenly irritated by the girl in my arms, and I growled at h
