2025-03-27 04:49:34Chapter Six : A Warrior
Asher’s POV The training grounds were filled with warriors practicing their moves. Some sparred in pairs, their bodies moving fast as they dodged and struck. Others stood in groups, watching and learning. The air was thick with sweat, dust, and determination. I stood at the edge, arms crossed, observing everything. As the Alpha, I had to make sure my warriors were strong. If they were weak, the pack would be weak. And weakness was something I would never allow. My eyes swept over the warriors until I noticed someone struggling. An omega. She was smaller than the others, her movements sloppy and weak. She threw punches, but they barely landed. Each time she was knocked down, she got up again, but her frustration was clear. The warriors around her muttered among themselves, shaking their heads. I was about to turn away. Some wolves just weren’t meant to fight. But then Zarina moved. She had been standing nearby, watching. Now, she stepped forward. “You’re using too much force,” she said to the omega. The young girl blinked at her in confusion. “Balance is important,” Zarina continued. “If your feet aren’t steady, you’ll fall. Spread your legs a little. Keep your center strong.” The omega hesitated, then did as she was told. “Good. Now, don’t just swing your arm. Put your whole body into it. Let the force come from your legs and twist your waist as you punch.” The girl tried again. This time, her punch landed stronger. The sound of impact was louder. The warrior sparring with her gave a small nod of approval. The omega’s face lit up in surprise. A few warriors who had been whispering earlier were now watching quietly, their expressions changing. Even they had to admit Zarina knew what she was doing. And I did too. I narrowed my eyes, studying the way she moved. She didn’t just know how to fight. She had been trained. She watched the omega closely, correcting her form, showing her how to defend and attack properly. She wasn’t just giving advice. She was teaching. Something inside me stirred. I had assumed she was just some runaway, a lost she-wolf with no real skills. But this? This was different. I had to know more. “Zarina,” I called. She turned, wiping sweat from her forehead. “Yes?” “Come with me.” She hesitated for a second before nodding. I led her away from the training grounds, past the warriors who had been watching. We stopped near a tree where no one could hear us. “You fight well,” I said. She raised a brow. “Thank you?” Her tone was cautious, like she wasn’t sure if it was a compliment or not. I ignored that. “What pack are you from?” Her expression changed. It was quick—so quick that most wouldn’t have noticed. But I did. She hesitated. Then she said, “A strong one.” That was not an answer. “Which pack?” I pressed. She shifted slightly, her body tensing. “I don’t belong to a pack anymore,” she said. I took a step closer. “Why?” She looked away. “I left.” “Why?” I repeated. She didn’t answer. I exhaled through my nose. My wolf didn’t trust silence. Silence meant secrets. “You fight like a warrior,” I said. “You know techniques most wolves don’t. You teach like an experienced fighter. And yet, you hide where you come from.” She stiffened but didn’t say anything. Something about this felt… off. “Are you a spy?” I asked, my voice low and firm. Her eyes widened in shock. “What? No!” I moved fast. In one swift motion, I grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm slightly, just enough to make her react. She gasped, trying to pull free, but I held her in place. “Then why are you here?” I growled. “Tell me the truth.” She struggled, her breathing quick. “I’m not a spy! I just—” “Just what?” I pressed. Her lips parted, but then she shut them again. I tightened my grip slightly, making her whimper. “Tell me.” “Asher, please,” she whispered. “I have no reason to spy. I just needed a place to stay.” I studied her face, watching her eyes closely. There was fear in them—but also something else. She was hiding something, but it wasn’t a lie. Slowly, I let go. She took a step back, rubbing her wrist, her breathing unsteady. “If you lie to me,” I warned, my voice deadly, “you won’t get a second chance.” She swallowed hard and nodded. I turned away, my mind racing. I still didn’t trust her. But I wouldn’t push further—not yet. For now, I would watch her. And if she turned out to be a threat, I would handle it myself. She paused. Then said, "A strong one." That wasn't an answer. "Which pack?" I persisted. She moved slightly, her body stiffening. "I don't have a pack anymore," she said. I moved a step closer. "Why?" She turned away. "I left." "Why?" I repeated. She didn't respond. I expelled a breath through my nose. My wolf wasn't fond of silence. Silence meant secrets. "You fight like a warrior," I stated. "You know moves most wolves don't. You teach like an experienced fighter. And yet, you hide where you're from." She stiffened but said nothing. Something didn't feel… right about this. "Are you a spy?" I demanded, voice low and commanding. Her eyes widened in shock. "What? No!" I moved fast. In a swift motion, I grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm slightly, just enough to get a reaction out of her. She cried out, trying to struggle free, but I held her fast. "Why are you here, then?" I growled. "The truth." She struggled, her breathing rapid. "I'm not a spy! I just—" "Just what?" I pressed. Her mouth opened, then shut again. I tightened my grip a bit, and she whimpered. "Tell me." "Asher, please," she whispered. "I have no reason to spy. I just needed a place to stay." I searched her face, her eyes especially. There was fear there—but something more as well. She was hiding something, but it wasn't a lie. Slowly, I let her go. She moved back, rubbing her wrist, her breath coming unevenly. "If you lie to me," I warned, my voice deadly, "there will be no second chance." She swallowed and nodded. I turned away, my mind racing. I still didn't trust her. But I wouldn't push—not yet. For now, I would watch her. And if she turned out to be a threat, I would take care of it myself.

Chapter Seven : Find Her Kael’s POV I sat in my chamber, my fingers clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms. The room was dimly lit, the heavy curtains drawn shut, but I could still hear the voices outside. My warriors. My pack. They were trying to reassure me. “Alpha, you don’t have to worry,” one of them said. “You won the last fight. You can do it again.” “Yes, Alpha,” another added. “Darius was weak then, and he’s still weak now. Be rest assured that the seal would be given to you even if they had to do countless times” I wanted to believe them. I wanted to hold onto their blind faith in me. But I couldn’t. Because I knew the truth. Darius wasn’t weak. The only reason I had won that fight was because he had been drugged. And now, the truth had come out. The head elder had returned, and he wasn’t pleased. He had ordered the battle to be redone. This time, in his presence. And this time, Darius would be at full strength. I could already imagine it—his

His skin was still damp from a shower, water droplets sliding down his toned chest, disappearing beneath the towel slung low around his hips. His muscles were carved, powerful, a silent display of dominance.A shiver ran down my spine.I tore my gaze away, my cheeks burning.“Knock next time,” I muttered, gripping the door handle tighter.His lips curled slightly, but there was no amusement in his eyes. “Knock?” He steppe

It wasn’t just ink on a page—it was my fate, my future. Asher took it without a word, folding it neatly, his dark eyes never leaving mine.For a moment, the silence between us was suffocating. My heart pounded, and I could feel the tension building in the air. It was the calm before the storm.Then, Asher’s voice broke the silence, low and firm, his words like a command. “The contractee must satisfy the contractor,” he said, his gaze piercing through me.My breath caught. I knew exactly what he meant. I felt the blood rush to my face. My body tensed as I stood there, frozen in place.I wanted to scream at him, to tell him I would never do what he was asking, but I knew better. He wasn’t the kind of man who took no for an answer.His gaze hardened as he took a step closer. “Take off your clothes,” he ordered, his voice cool,

I blinked, trying to adjust to the dim light of the room. It took a moment for everything to come back to me—the contract, the strange and powerful bond between me and Asher, the alpha I’d never asked for.As I shifted slightly, I felt his arm around me, holding me close. My breath caught in my throat. I shouldn’t be here. I shouldn’t be feeling this way. But his touch was comforting in a strange, confusing way.I quickly tried to slip away from his embrace, but just as I moved, his arm tightened around me, pulling me back. I froze, my heart pounding. He stirred, his eyes still closed, but his voice was soft and low, “Where do you think you’re going?”“I—I’m sorry,” I stammered, trying to free myself. “I didn’t mean to wake you.”Asher didn’t let go. His grip on me was strong, possessive, and I couldn’t help but feel a strange ki

Chapter Eleven: Not One of ThemZarina’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, brushing my hair with slow, shaky hands. The morning light was soft, slipping through the curtains like a quiet whisper. My heart felt heavy for reasons I couldn’t explain. Last night had shaken me. The way Asher held me. The way his voice softened when he asked about my past. The way he looked at me like I was something more than just a name on a contract.A soft knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.“Asher?” I asked quietly.He opened the door without waiting for permission. He always did that—like this room was his too, like I was his.He looked different today. Still sharp. Still strong. But his eyes held something I couldn’t name. Guilt, maybe. Or fear.“I wanted to see you,” he said.My heart skipped. “Is everything okay?”He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he came closer and sat beside me. I tensed, unsure. But then his hand found mine—warm, steady.“You looked upset last night,” he said softl

Chapter Twelve: Don’t Touch Me If You’ll Let Me BreakZarina’s POVI didn’t run.I walked—slow, quiet, broken—until I reached the room. And then I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, staring into the empty silence.I didn’t cry at first.I just stood there, trying to breathe through the heaviness in my chest. My hands shook as I reached up to untie my hair. My fingers failed me. I gave up. I sat on the edge of the bed like my bones couldn’t carry me anymore.Everything they said kept replaying in my head.“What’s your family name, dear?”“Her kind can’t lead packs, you know that.”“Are you sure about this girl?”I bit my lip to stop it from trembling. But it didn’t work. The tears slipped out anyway.Why did it hurt so much?I never expected them to love me. I never thought they’d hug me or say I was perfect for their son. But I didn’t expect to feel so… unwanted. Like I didn’t even deserve to stand in the same room.And him.Asher.He stood there, silent. He didn’t fight

Chapter Thirteen: The Price of Silence Zarina’s POV I woke up slowly, my eyes blinking against the morning light that streamed through the window. As I stretched out, I reached for Asher beside me, but he wasn’t there. My hand brushed against the cool, empty space he had occupied only hours ago. A sudden chill ran through me, but I shook it off, pushing myself up in bed. I couldn’t help but smile to myself, remembering last night—how he had kissed me, how he had held me close, as if I was the most important thing in the world. But now, I was alone. The smile faded from my face, replaced with a dull ache in my chest. I stood up, my feet softly landing on the cold wooden floor. I needed to see him. I wanted to see how he is doing. I could already feel the emptiness in the house, the quiet pressing in. He had to be somewhere. I tiptoed through the halls, trying to be as quiet as possible, not wanting to disturb anyone. When I reached the living room, I stopped. I could hear vo

Chapter Thirteen: A Very Stubborn Heart Asher’s POV I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor like it could help me. The room was too quiet. It didn’t feel like home anymore. Not without her. Her scent still hung in the air—soft, sweet, just like her. It made my heart ache. She wasn’t gone from the house. But she was gone from me. From my arms. From my world. She wasn’t talking to me anymore. No more gentle smiles. No more shy glances. She had shut me out completely. And I deserved it. But it hurt. it hurt so much. So much. I missed her laugh. I missed her voice. I missed the way she would look at me like I was more than just an alpha… like I was a man worth loving. Now she wouldn’t even look at me. I leaned back on the bed, covering my eyes with my arm, trying to stop the heaviness in my chest. But it didn’t stop. It only got worse. My wolf was pacing inside me, howling softly for her. “Zarina…” I whispered. Just saying her name made something inside me b

Chapter 91 : he WarningZarina's POVI was sitting in the pack living room, the soft hum of the house enveloping me, but my mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. It had been a day or two since Cara came by, and I couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Every time I thought about the way she'd looked at me, the way she'd apologized… it felt too good to be true. But maybe I was thinking too much. Maybe this was the start of something new. Maybe she was actually changing.Asher walked in through the door, his tired eyes scanning the room before they settled on me. I knew something was wrong — his jaw was tight, and his eyes had that glint, that edge, like he was hunting for something.“Zarina," he said, his voice low, warning already present in it. "I need to talk to you."I looked up from the book I had been pretending to read. My heart skipped a beat.

Not how you're ill as in how you dash for the bathroom but how something inside you just does not feel quite right. I sat on the edge of the bed, hands in my head, and breathed deeply. I thought maybe it was stress. Too much thinking. Too much crying. Too much aching in my chest about it all.Asher left early. I never asked where he was going. I knew he was trying to fix it all again, try to keep the pack together, try to protect me and the kids. That's all he ever did. And I loved it.But love couldn't stop the way I felt that morning.

Chapter 89 : The ApologyZarina's POVI did not anticipate having her at my door.It was a peaceful morning. Asher had departed early to meet the patrol leaders, and the house was quiet. The children were outdoors playing with the nanny, and I was ironing clothes in the cozy living room. I was drained, both physically and emotionally. Everything was too much to endure.Then there was a knock.Not the typical kind. Not loud, not persistent. Just… soft. Gentle. Almost like the person on the other side of the door didn't want to scare me.I opened it carefully.And there she was.Cara.Her face was altered—exhausted, melancholy, not angry as typical. Her dark hair was loose, and she had on a simple gray cloak. No trinkets. No cosmetics. She looked… human.

Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Weighr Of Leadership
Chapter Title: The Weight of LeadershipThe moon was low in the sky, casting a pale light over the packhouse. Inside, the air buzzed with tension. I sat by myself in my study, the weight of what had occurred during the day oppressing me.The elders were gone, their words lingering within me. The Red Moon Pack was cutting all ties with us. No further supplies. No trade. It was all due to the choice I had made to be with Zarina. I drew a hand over my hair, irritation welling up within. Had I erred? Would I have done better with Cara? Would keeping the peace been better that way? The very thought plagued me.And yet I thought about Zarina's tear-streaked face, her silence, her unwaivering belief in me. She was my companion. She had given birth to our pups. She was the future of the pack.The elders, though, did not view it so. They saw her as danger, as a vulnerability. They saw her as the reason that the pack failed.I leapt up, pacing the room. The pressure in my chest was too much to

Chapter 87: The Breaking PointZarina’s PovI sat in the quiet room of the pack house, my mind swirling with thoughts I couldn’t escape. The weight of everything happening around me—everything that had changed in our lives—was becoming unbearable. The constant tension, the constant pressure. I could feel myself unraveling.Asher and I had gotten this far, but with everything that had happened with Cara, the elders, and the pack… I didn't know how I could continue to live like this. I had tried to be strong for him, for the children, but my heart ached. The stress was more than I could manage.I knew Asher would do all he could to protect me and the children, but would it be enough in the end? I was torn between clinging to the life that I had with him and the fear that the chaos would never leave.And then the solution hit me, so forcefully it shook me to my foundations. If sex with Cara would harmonize the pack, then maybe Asher should just go and do it.I felt sick to my stomach jus

Chapter 86: The pack future Asher's POVI was in my office, my hands clenched tightly around a tumbler of whiskey, my head spinning with all that was happening of late. It had been a long day, one full of tension, puzzlement, and the overpowering desire to protect what was mine. Zarina seethed, perplexed by everything, and I had not the least idea of what to tell her that would make it better. Every day was a battle, but the war had not yet begun properly.Then my phone rang, shattering my daydreaming. The screen lit up with my mother's name, and for an instant, my heart skipped a beat. I had not spoken to her for some time. I had no idea what this call would be about, but I didn't have to guess very hard to figure that it wouldn't be something straightforward.I sighed and answered the call, trying to conceal my emotions."Yes, Mother?" My voice was level, but the constriction in my chest betrayed me."Asher, I need to talk to you," my mother stated sternly, but I sensed a quiver of
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Asher’s Choice
Chapter 85: Asher's ChoiceI walked in the night, my brain foggy, and my heart heavy. The weight of the day, the pack's need, and the pain of it all happening around me had started to strangle me. I considered everything Cara and I had been through at that moment. Her family pressure, the needs of the pack, and my choices.But the more I dwelled on it, the more I couldn't get the image of Zarina and the babies out of my head. The way they regarded me, the way Zarina smiled, the way the children depended on me for everything. The idea of giving that up, of taking Cara, it didn't sit right. Each time I tried to envision it, the only thing that popped into my mind was Zarina's face, her warmth, and how everything felt complete when we were together.I stopped on the trail, where moonlight filtered through leaves at the edge of the woods. It was quiet. Too quiet.Cara.Her face seemed to flash through my mind, the soft, honeyed tone she always had, her elegant hands, yet even with all of
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Battles
Chapter 84 : The BattlesAsher's POVThe day had been long. Tension was thick in the packhouse, and my mind continued to spin with it all—Zarina's battle, Cara's machinations, the threats on the horizon. I had promised Zarina that I would always be there to protect her, and yet it felt like I was failing her. There was so much beyond my control, so much that I did not understand, and all I wanted to do was keep her and our children safe.I rested against the side of the bed, the weight of the day weighing on my shoulders. My eyes wandered to Zarina, who was lying there with our triplets. They were wrapped in warm blankets, their tiny bodies curled up against her. The peaceful sight of them all curled up together was the only solace in the midst of chaos.Zarina was exhausted too. She had been through so much recently, attempting to assist me, attempting to keep our family intact while the world around us seemed to crumble. I could see the characteristic signs of her fatigue—the faint
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Fear
Chapter 83: The FearAsher's POVThe moon sat high above the woods, casting a white, ethereal light on the ground ahead of me. My heart was racing, but it wasn't because of the hunt or the dangers of the night; it was because of her.Zarina.I couldn't help but fret. She'd slipped out without warning me where she was heading, without so much as a whisper. As soon as I realized she wasn't there anymore, my heart hit the ground. I rationalized that she must be all right, perhaps needed some solitude, but the apprehension gripped me like an open sore.I needed to locate her.I screamed out her name, my voice echoing into the dense, black woods. But the silence that met my scream only made me more nervous. I struggled through the dense trees, my head racing. What if she was hurt? What if she was in danger? The thought of her being hurt, alone out there, made my chest tighten.Then, there—beneath a giant oak tree, I saw her.Zarina was curled on the ground, shaking, her face smeared with t
