Alpha Asher And The Mate He Never Wanted のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Signe POVI stay out on the landing and turn once again to the paintings when Asher departed. It was obvious to me that he didn't care to stick around and chat. Or maybe he was tired from all of the goings on of the day.I can still smell him, his scent lingering even minutes after he had left. I continue to walk down the hall, studying the different names and people in the paintings. It was intriguing to me to look at the previous rulers and families of this pack. I can see the resemblance between Asher and his family. I pause when I hear footsteps coming up the stairs behind me. I was already surprised by Asher and I did not want to be surprised again by someone else. I turn and look behind me to find a beautiful woman standing at the top of the stairs staring at me quizzically. She looks familiar and I glance quickly back to the painting I had just approached a few moments ago.She was the woman in this painting. I quickly glance down at the names until I find her. She's older now

I turn over and grab my phone and hit snooze on my alarm. Had that whole thing just been a dream?'Yes it was and it was a spicy one. I'm not complaining.' Aerona said saucily.'It felt so real. I swear I can still feel his touch.' I touch my lips where I could still feel the lingering sensation of his lips pressing against my so passionately and dominately.I wish it had been real and not only a dream. I hadn't realized how badly I wanted my mate until this moment. I kept trying to convince myself that I would be okay with him deciding he didn't want me. Now I knew I had to do whatever was necessary to have him accept me and complete our mating.'Atta girl! She's baaaaack!' Aerona says in a sing-song voice.I can't help but laugh at her. She was right though. My confidence in myself had gone severely downhill since meeting Asher and it was time for all of that to stop. I needed to show him the she-wolf I truly am. I lay there thinking about the dream and unable to get over how very

Signe POVAfter Asher left I got up and went over to get food. He wasn't wrong, I needed to eat. It was the fact that he had whispered in my ear the way he did that has me completely thrown off. After I finish eating I get up to leave the dining room and each of my warriors stands with me. I head over to where Alex is sitting alone at a table."Good morning again, Alex." I say with a smile."How can I be of service, Signe?" Alex replies and takes a swig of his orange juice."I was hoping you wouldn't mind showing us where the training grounds are. I don't want to be late and I'd like to stretch and limber up before our...training begins."Alex smirks at me and just shakes his head. "I don't mind at all." Alex gets up from his seat and comes to stand next to me. "You ready to go Siggy baby?"It was cute when he called me that earlier this morning, but to call me that in front of my warriors felt a bit degrading."I'm sorry Beta Alex. I think I missed that last part." I challenge him a

Signe POV The platinum ranked fighter steps into the circle and he smiles at me. It’s a cocky smile. One that tells me that he thinks he’s got this in the bag. “Are you ready little wolf?” Yep…he’s cocky alright. “Ready when you are sugar plum.” I give him an innocent smile that he doesn’t return. I’ve upset him with my little pet name. Little does he know, I’m about to completely wipe the floor with him and being upset will be the least of his concerns. I start to size him up. He’s probably about six foot one or two. I’d say about 225 pounds and muscles as big around as my head. He’s pacing back and forth waiting for the signal for our fight to begin. I watch how he walks hoping to gain some insight to any persistent injuries or favoring of one side of his body or the other. I see none. Ok. So I guess I was going to have to use my speed and agility to the best of my ability for this fight. I look over to Asher who looks like he has moved past his anger. Damn. I’ll have

Signe POV I follow Asher all of the way to the circle. He stops at the edge and turns, waiting for me to catch up to him. “Is everything okay, Alpha?” “It’s not too late to back out of this fight. There’s no disgrace in that, Signe. I really don’t want to hurt you.” I was touched by his words and his concern for me, but I needed to prove to him I wasn’t some lowly and incapable she-wolf. “Backing out isn’t an option for me.” I say softly and reach out to touch his arm. The sparks shoot through me. I know how difficult this is going to be if I feel this amazing sensation throughout my body each time we touch. He doesn’t remove my hand from his arm but he does look down at it. He stands there staring for some time before he looks at me and smiles. “I will agree to hold back and not use all of my alpha strength, then.” His words light a renewed fire in me. He thinks he's doing me a favor by offering to take it easy on me, when what he is really doing is cutting a low blow at
