All Chapters of Sold to the Cruel Alpha : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Asher's POV Liam and Connor stroll into the control room with a grim expression on their faces.Lucian still has his head buried in his computer so he doesn't notice when they walk in.Derek has a glass of whiskey in his hands, leaning up against the window frame.“What's wrong?” I asked as they approached.“Greetings Alpha.” They echoed together bowing slightly. I nod my head in acknowledgement.“We've got some news. You won't like it, but we have found the culprit responsible for Bryon and Althea Blackwood's death.” Liam says, clenching his knuckles.Lucian's head whips when he hears what Liam said. “Really?” He asked, bewildered.“Yes.” Connor answers. He also had a grim and stoic expression on his face.I look over at Derek to find him already staring in my direction. “Who is it? I ask in a low tone. Liam takes a deep breath.“It was Isla, your ex-girlfriend.” He forces out. The room falls silent. My brows narrow in confusion.Isla,why would it be Isla? Still confused by everyth

Raven's POV After dinner, we sat in the sitting room with my legs on Maya's lap as she helped massage them.“Hmm, that feels so good.” I say. “You're welcome. So, when do you want to call Asher? I think you should call him now.” She said.“Okay.” I say,sitting up and removing my legs from her laps. I stretch over to take my phone.I stare at Maya and she smiles back. “It's okay, you can do it. I'm right here beside you.” She encourages.I nod once, taking a deep breath, I dial his number.“Hello,” I say. “Hello, Raven.” His voice comes in. He sounds so tired and stressed and my heart goes out for him.I ache to see him, touch him and soothe him. I want to take away all his worries, but how can I? When I'm the source of all his worries.I swallow the knot in my throat. “How are you?” I muttered.“Just there. And you? How have you been? You sound a little tired.” He asked, in a concerned tone.“I've been okay, I guess. It's just… I have something important to tell you.” I say, stamm

Raven's POV There's a knock at the door. Who could that be? And by this time. We never have visitors, even the neighbors don't visit us.“Maya, are you expecting someone? Is Aaron coming to pick you again?” I asked from the room.“No, we don't have a date today..is someone knocking at the door?” She yells from the bathroom.“Yes, someone's at the door.”“Oh! Okay, you can go check who it is. But, be careful Raven. I'll be done in a bit.” She says. I can still hear the sound of running water. “Okay. I'm going downstairs.” I say, but she doesn't respond, which means she can't hear me again.I head downstairs, “Coming,” I called out to the person at the door. I wonder who it is.I opened the door and holy shit! My breath caught in my throat. I can't believe who is staring back at me.Asher, Asher Is here and he didn't come alone, Derek and Dale are also with him.“H— how did you get this place? I… I mean, how did you know my address?” I stuttered.“Well, magic.” Asher smirks and I squ

Raven's POV “So tell me everything that happened while we were away. Were you able to settle things? What did Asher say to you?” Maya asked as soon as we got to the kitchen.“Sshhh, Maya. Keep your voice down.” I cautioned her. She had no idea that as wolf shifters that we are, our hearing is impeccable.I've no doubt Asher and the rest will be trying to listen in on our conversation.“Sorry, sorry. I just want to know how far.” She says, whispering. “Come with me.” I pull her deeper into the kitchen and put on the gas, this should block out voices a little for now.“So?” She asked, when I don't speak immediately. I take a deep breath and face her.“I have not made any amends with him.” I told her.“What! Why?” She screeches.“Keep it down, Maya.” I hissed at her.“Sorry, but why?”“It's a lot more complicated than that. I can't just up and forget everything because he's here.” I explained to her.“But, Dale told me they had found the person responsible for your brother's death and

Asher's POV The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed, becoming chilled.I can feel the spike in her heartbeat, the way she swallowed nervously at being in the same space as I.“You haven't answered my question. What are you doing here in my bookshop?” She asked again.I move closer to her, closing the distance between us, so we are only an inch apart I trace my fingers down her face. “I came to see you Raven, I've missed you “ I whispered slowly to her.“You saw me just yesterday. What do you mean you miss me?” She asked, frowning.“I know,but even if I don't see you for just a minute, I'll still miss you.” She takes a deep breath, closing her eyes.“You can't just show up at my workplace unannounced just like that.” She whispered, yelling at me.“Why are you whispering? No one can hear us from here and there, no one out front in the first place.” I said to her.Her eyebrows knit together, “You need to leave now, Asher. You're disturbing me here.”“I can't leave now, Raven. I'm h
