Lisa doesn't know what to say to this man, she is pissed at him for what he did yet at the same time she can't help but agree with him. She knows her mother can get a bit too obsessive with the people she cares about, and Asher was probably right about her not wanting to let him go. She had seen first hard his broken her mom had been when Asher had asked for a divorce it wouldn't be surprising if the woman was willing to go through some shady means of keeping her. However, she still didn't deserve to find out about their affair this way.The worst thing was Lisa didn't have anyone to blame other hand herself. She had known her mom was devastated and crying herself into a stupor downstairs, yet she hadn't thought twice before lettintheen who had hurt her mom fuck her into the mattress. It was both a selfish and terrible thing to do. Nobody deserves this. She quickly went to her closet to grab some clothes, she still felt filthy from the sex, but she didn't want to waste any time in fin
Lisa's heart raced as she stepped into the graveyard, her senses heightened by the eerie atmosphere. The air felt heavy with an unexplained restlessness, as if unseen eyes were watching her every move. The sound of her footsteps echoed through the silence, sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease, as if the spirits of the departed were whispering secrets in her ear. When she was younger, she used to tell her mom how she saw shadows lingering around the trees that formed a canopy above. She would often get nightmares from themAnd so her mother had stopped bringing her. No matter how much she cried and begged to be allowed to visit her dad's resting place, she was always left at home. Slowly, Even her mom stopped visiting the cemetery. Lisa thinks that her mother never quite got over her dad's death, because after his passing she had never gone through any serious relationship. One of her mom's exes had even proposed to her, but Elsa had turned him down,
Lisa wakes up with a headache, her hands are bound to the headboard. The bed she woke up on was soft and covered with expensive bed sheets. The room is luxurious, it was the size of three average bedrooms, the ground was covered in expensive carpet, there were dark red curtains blocking out any light from filtering into the room, there was a chair by her side, a cupboard, and then two doors by the left. The room wasn't familiar to her.The memory comes back slowly to her. She remembers that weird guy, Damien, had physically assaulted her and had kidnapped her. Lisa was finding it hard to believe that someone like Damien could do something like this. And what reason would he have to do this? It's not like she had offended him in any way, apart from some sassy replies, she hadn't even been rude to him.Lisa didn't have to think for long because a few minutes after she woke up, the door of the room was pushed open and Damien came stalking in. " Ah, you are awake " He says, even though th
Asher is seated in his office, his phone is clenched so tightly in his hand that the screen has cracks on it. He was awaiting his Beta to report to him. Since Lisa had left yesterday, she hadn't returned. And although he knew she was probably taking some time away from him, he was worried. He had called her but her phone wasn't going, and he couldn't go back to his ex wife's house because he knew he wouldn't be welcome there. Emily had ensured to give him the cold shoulder, she had gone as far as threatening to tell the media about his cheating if he didn't stay away from her mother.Asher didn't necessarily give a fuck what the media thought of him. What did bother him was the fact that his mate would no doubt get involved in the scandal if news got out. She already blamed herself, she might just lose her mind if the world starts blaming her as well. He didn't regret what he did, he knew it was the only way to get his mate to stay with him, he hated having to hide her from
Lisa can't stop thinking. Every fucking thing makes sense now! She had always wondered why Asher had changed his mind suddenly about wanting to be with her, he had been so adamant and convinced that her mother was the love of his life, but then after what happened in the forest, it was like all that mattered to him was her. It was hard to believe, but she had seen the evidence herself and there was no denying it.As a teenager, she used to read all those cheesy online fics, a werewolf falls in love with a human, and though he faces criticism and challenges, he sticks to the woman because she is his " Mate ", specially given to him by the moon goddess. She used to find stories like that romantic, and then her stupid brain would always wonder if there was someone out there for her as well, her soulmate.She had stopped reading shit like that in High School, she'd seen the awful thing that was relationships, lovers who claimed they would always be together cheating on each other, some of
Asher didn't think there'd ever be a time he would go to the Lycan Empire. He hated that place. It was where all those who assumed they were at the top of the food chain lived. All Alphas of the powerful pack were there. Asher had received an invitation long ago to move to the Empire's capital, but he had turned it down.He hated it when others assumed that just because he was alpha to his pack, that he would become a tool to the king. Everything he was and would ever be was for himself and his pack, it had nothing to do with the Lycan King. He hated Damien almost as much as he hated his father, almost, it was a very thin line and if Asher finds out that Damien had done anything to his mate, then he was going to fuck the man up so badly.This was what he had wanted to avoid all along. He didn't want any fucking Alpha getting involved in his shit, which was why he never stayed in his pack for too long and had a different identity in the human world. But it seemed all his efforts had be
Asher's gaze went from Damien's gleeful expression to Lisa's terrified gaze, and he decided that If he acted rashly now, Lisa might end up getting hurt. So he followed down his anger and gave a nod. Damien was glad to lead them to the dining room which had already been set, he had truly anticipated Asher being here.They sat down, Lisa beside Damien because the king wouldn't let her stay far, and Asher kept moderately close to him mate, yet not too close to make her feel even more uncomfortable than she already did. He felt terrible, she looked like she might pass out from fear everytime Damien addressed her or his hand brushed up against her own. Asher watched them with fist clenched under the table, he wondered about what Damien must have done to his mate to make her so damn afraid of him.Damien was the sort of bastard who liked to walk around an important topic. He knew the reason shy Asher was here, but he would rather indulge in worthless conversations than to address it. Asher
" Even if I don't agree,it's not like you can do shit about it " Asher says with all the arrogance he could muster. This had Damien's eyes narrowing down on him. They both know the king wouldn't dare do anything harmful to Lisa, apart from the first time he hit her and tying her up, her had treated her just like a guest in his palace. It wasn't because of hospitality, but simply because he knew what the consequences would be if he acted rashly towards her.But still, Asher saying that he couldn't do anything now just went to prove that he thought so little of him, and he had even said it in from of the little human bitch. Damien's fist clenched by his side as thoughts of what the hell he was to do nearly sent him on edge. ' You are letting him talk to us like this?!'' Be calm Callisto, he is simply worried for the human, when he relaxes, we would have a much better conversation '' He has become too insolent 'Damien smiles, well, he couldn't argue with his wolf over that part. Ashe
