All Chapters of The Alpha Who Betrayed Me: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Asher POV: Her skin felt soft under my grasp. It seems like I was touching a pillow. I longed to grab it and kiss her. "Arabella, do you trust me?" I whispered in her ears. Arabella seemed stiff. She looked uneasy and slight uncomfortable. "Are you a virgin?" I whispered again. At the mention of the word 'Vitgin'? She shuddered. Her eyes popped up open even more. It was like I had bursted a bubble. I had committed a crime. "I think I should leave" she stuttered but before she even tried to free herself from my grasp, I pulled closer. Her body bounced back on me. "Arabella, don't leave" "Asher, I don't think I'm ready yet" She didn't need to say anything. I wanted her to be completely at peace while I wielded the power there. "Let me" I had to be gentle. Arabella deserved to be treated with respect. My usual self would have been rough but not with her, "All you need to do is close your eyes and let me show you how it's done" I whispered to her again. Gently, I felt like her

Arabella's POV: Asher pulled out of me once more. This time, I felt like a pipe was being dragged out of my ears. It hurt much more than the previous day, but each time I complained about it to Asher, he told me it was because I was a virgin and I was going to get used to it in no time. "It still hurts" I whimpered. Both my body and my wolf were in pain. "I told you'll be fine, it's only a matter of time" I saw Asher take a towel into the bathroom to wipe himself clean. "You're meant to heal after the first trial, why are you still complaining?* I felt a little insulted but said nothing. "I was just asking" In the twinkle of an eye, Asher was done and ready to head out. He came out of the shower with a towel tied on his waist and water running down from his head to his chest. His hair was wet and so some beads of water still hung on his beards and hair. I loved it that way. "What will you be doing today?" I asked him like the wife I was. Asher smiled. He must have gotten the gi

Arabella's POV I had no answer to her question. I merely stared back blankly into the dark closet, my lips unable to move. "Would you be willing to stay and sort it out or would you want to leave?" "What do you think?" I closed my eyes to imagine myself seeing the face of my wolf. She had been so kind to me and was always there to make make me happy. I never would have gone that far without her. "I've bonded with Asher's wolf. He and I had a connection and I can also feel your connection with his human mind. You love him and I sense that he loves you too, but as of this moment, I'm not sure I can tell you what to do and what not to do. It's solely left in your hands." I drew in a deep breath. "I'll support whatever decision you take" And then, I exhaled. I sat in silence for a while, letting all the memory of what Asher and I had, replay in my head. I was trying to reach a conclusion. What was I to do next? What weakened my knees the most was that no matter how hard I had tri

Arabella's POV:I opened my eyes to welcome the sight of a fluorescent bulb hitting my iris. The intensity of it made me blink. A tear ran down my eyes. It was too painful to manage. I had to close my eyes again."I think we've been able to secure here" I heard someone say from afar. She sounded worried. Too worried about whoever she was speaking about."Yes, doctor. Her pulse is up and running and her vitals are stable"She added.I waited to hear what the doctor over the phone would tell her but the sound of his voice was barely above a whisper. After struggling to eavesdrop, I decided to give up."Alright doctor, I'll be on to the next patient"She hung up. I wanted to peer at her but decided to lay still. I needed to observe first. I heard footsteps and then felt her hand on my pulse. She pressed on my wrist for a few seconds and then finally let them go."Thank the moon goddess," she sighed.I waited till she was gone before I eventually decided to open my eyes. This time, more

Arabella POV:I felt air fading from my lungs and water filling them up instead. I couldn't breathe. I was feeling weak and for some reason, something ached in my abdomen."Help!" I screamed in my head but only bubbles came out of my mouth. I was underwater and drowning to the bottom with speed. I tried to free myself but my luggage was cramped to my leg. The zipper at the end of my jeans was tied to the wheel of my luggage.I shook my leg to free myself but I was drowning fast. The leg shake caused my abdomen to feel like it was rupturing."Help! Help! Help"My wolf could do nothing about it. She didn't answer. My body was too weak.Was I going to die this way?Drown to my death?! Oh no!...A tear rolled off my eyes while I was underwater. I tried my best to rise above the water but it wasn't working. I finally gave up.With one last breath that brought more water into my lungs, I closed my eyes, waiting to die but…. Something pulled me out of the water.I felt air blow on my skin
