All Chapters of A Marriage of Alphas: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Harper's POVAnother pack is here? Surely Asher would've known if there was a pack planning to visit to conduct trading or other orders of business. But the look on his face reveals that he really doesn't know who is here.Asher moves to stand in front of me, blocking my view of Julius and Dean."Which pack is here?" His voice is firm."All I know is it's the Lunar Pack from the North," Julius says, placing his hands behind his back, "The Alpha wants to engage in some trading with you."I stare at Asher's back, unable to see his expression. I'm sure he's just as confused as I am."I wasn't informed of another pack coming here for trading purposes." Asher sounds annoyed.I peak around Asher's back to see Julius shrug, "That's all the information I have. They're waiting on the back porch."I hear Julius and Dean walk away, closing the door behind them. Asher sighs, turning to face me."Sorry about the interruption," he says, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.I smile, "Do

Asher's POVHarper returns to the table a short while later. I saw Zoey leave not long after; I hope they didn't run into each other in the hallway. I know Harper doesn't like Zoey, so them speaking alone could be bad.When Harper is seated, I lean over and whisper in her ear, "Did you happen to see Zoey in the hallway?"Drake had stepped outside to talk to a member of his pack just before Harper returned.Harper smiles, sipping on her wine, "And what if I did?"The way she is smiling indicates to me that she probably said some strong words to Zoey in the hallway. I know she won't tell me what she said but seeing her act this protective over me has my insides fluttering with excitement."You know I can handle myself, right?" I whisper back, placing my hand on her thigh.She turns to face me, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes, "I'm just making it clear to everyone that you're my husband."Drake and Zoey come back into the room; they look between Harper and I as they sit back d

Harper's POVFor some reason Drake and Zoey are still here. It's been three days since they arrived, and I still see some members of their pack floating around the compound when they're meant to be out in the woods looking for whatever materials they need.I just find it odd that despite Asher being blunt about them leaving immediately, they continue to walk around and take their sweet a** time getting what they need. Asher hasn't noticed it as much as I have. He's been busy with meetings and training, so most of his day is taken up. Whereas, I'm constantly moving around helping members with issues or having play time with the children, so I notice it more.When I brought the issue up with Asher, he assured me they'll be gone as soon as they get what they came for. I want to believe him, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the Lunar Pack came for something other than materials and supplies.I've been wanting to bring up the conversation Asher had with Zoey the other morning, but

Harper's POVThe next morning feels different. I wake up in Asher's arms, but my mind and body feel different. Everything has changed. We've slept together and said, 'I love you.' I don't know what this means for us or our fake marriage, but we'll have to take it day by day.Asher groans, letting go of me to roll to the other side of the bed. He stretches out his body, smiling when he sees me watching him."You look happy this morning," He says, turning to face me.I smile, "I am, especially when I get to wake up next to you."He reaches over to grab my hand, "You're so beautiful."I blush, turning away from him."What are your plans for the day?" Asher asks, changing the subject.I shrug, "I think Amaris wants to go for a walk in the woods.""That should be fun. I think Jack said he wants to spar together and then grab a beer afterwards," he says, playing with my fingers."Can we have dinner together afterwards in the backyard?" I ask, hoping he will say yes.We haven't b

Harper's POVAsher comes storming into the bedroom, slamming the door shut with such force it echoes throughout the room. He's running his hands through his hair, a sign that he is stressed and angry. He paces the room, not saying a single word to me.I move from my spot at the desk to sit on the edge of the bed. I don't say anything to him either; I'll wait until he's ready to talk. Judging by the way he's acting, I'm unable to tell if the conversation with Julius went well or not. I know he went to find him to talk about what's been happening, but I don't know exactly what they talked about."I can't f*cking believe him," Asher huffs, stopping to stare at me, "He had the audacity to say he won't cross me again, when I know he's lying.""Did you call him out on his lies?" I quiz, hoping my question doesn't set him off further.He shakes his head, "I know he'll plan something else anyway so why bother wasting even more of my breath on him."I shrug, "I agree. We can ignore him
