บททั้งหมดของ Contract with Alpha Asher: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Christopher’s POV"FUCK!" I roared, my voice shaking the walls of my office. My entire body trembled with rage, my fists clenched so tight that I could feel my knuckles burn.Across the room, Amanda cowered in the corner, her entire body trembling as she tried to make herself smaller—invisible. Pathetic."You told me," I growled, my voice deadly quiet. "You fucking told me she was listening to you."Amanda flinched, curling into herself."You said she was going to leave Asher and come back to me!" I roared, grabbing the nearest object—a glass —and hurling it at her.She shrieked, ducking just in time, but the glass shattered against the wall behind her, splattering sharp fragments of its shattered pieces over her trembling form."I—I swear!" she gasped. "She was supposed to listen!"I stalked toward her, my blood boiling, and my vision turning red. "Supposed to?" I sneered. "You told me it was done. You let me walk into that room thinking I’d already won—and she fucking humiliated me!

Asher's POV I stared down at Abigail's sleeping figure, her face was void of all the chaos that surrounded her, relaxed with more peace than I'd ever seen her.I laid beside her, waiting and hoping on the moon goddess that she would forgive me, for lying, for keeping her in the dark, and much as I'd kept her safe, my lies turned out to be just another betrayal in her eyes.I reached out, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. She stirred slightly but didn’t wake, her lips parting with a soft sigh.She was mine. Or at least, she was supposed to be.But the bond between us was still incomplete.And Christopher—that bastard—was still lurking in the shadows, waiting for a moment of weakness to strike.My jaw clenched. He wouldn’t take her from me. Not now. Not ever.But I knew Abigail. If she ever found out the full truth, if she ever uncovered the secrets I had buried deep beneath my carefully controlled exterior…She might never forgive me.I exhaled, running a hand over my fac

Abigail's POV I flickered my eyes open, my body aching terribly and it seemed like I'd been asleep for far too long.I darted my eyes around the room to Asher laying exhausted on the couch.His brows were furrowed and his breathing was slow, as if he hadn't rested properly in days. His usual intimidating presence was dulled by exhaustion, and for the first time, I saw him as something more than just an Alpha—he looked human.I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my body, making me wince. The movement must have been enough to alert Asher because his eyes snapped open instantly."Abigail," he breathed, sitting up in an instant. In two strides, he was at my bedside, his large hand gently pressing me back down. "You need to rest."I swallowed, my throat dry. "What… happened?" My voice came out hoarse, barely above a whisper.His jaw tensed, a storm brewing in his eyes. "Christopher."That one word sent a shiver down my spine. The memories came rushing back—the unbearable pain

Abigail's POV I stepped out of the bedroom to look for Asher. "Did you hear what they said about her..." I heard a maid whisper as I walked past the corridor, but shut their mouth as I turned back."Abigail," Asher's voice snapped me out of my confusion as he walked towards me, barefooted."Where have you been, I didn't see you..."He pulled me in a hug, his hands running through my hair, while I let myself be engulfed in his arms."Asher," I murmured against his chest, my arms tightening around him.There was something different about the way he held me—like he was afraid to let go. His fingers trembled slightly as they ran through my hair, and his grip was just a little too firm like he needed this more than I did.I pulled back slightly, tilting my head up to look at him. "Is something wrong?"His jaw tensed, but he forced a small smile. "No, nothing. I just missed you."I studied his face, searching for the truth. There was something in his eyes—an emotion I couldn’t quite plac

Abigail's POV I darted my eyes to Asher, filled with worry, fear, and something else I couldn't put a name to. "What are you going to do, we cannot...""She will stay, Daniel, whatever it takes, Abigail will stay, no one is going to take her away from me," Asher said, cutting Daniel's words short. "They're already in the pack house Alpha Asher," Daniel said again. "Have them seated in the pack house, I'll meet with them," Asher confirmed. Daniel nodded and took another look at me before walking out of the room. "I—I think I should leave now Asher, I don't want to cause any problems for you," "When I say you stay Abigail, you stay," I swallowed hard, my insides tightening at the finality in his voice."Asher, you don't understand—""I understand perfectly," he cut me off, his golden eyes burning with intensity. "You think running will fix this? That letting them take you will make things easier?"I clenched my fists, my breathing uneven. "If I stay, your pack could turn against
