Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Don’t Touch Me If You’ll Let Me Break
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 Title: "Prove It"Zarina's POVI sat by the window in my room, staring out into the dark sky. The stars were hidden behind thick clouds, and everything was chilly. My heart was sinking. I couldn't breathe right, couldn't get him out of my mind.Asher.He wasn't there in my life as he used to be, maybe Cara is getting his whole attention now. It was as if everything between us had shattered, and I had no idea how to glue it together. How to glue us together. I could still feel his touch from last night, his heat on my skin, but it all felt so distant now. So unreal.I wanted to be able to believe him. I wanted to be able to believe he was sorry, but I did not know how. How could I after what he had done? After what he had agreed to?I closed my eyes and took a shaking breath. The pain in my chest did not go away.Suddenly, the door burst open. I did not even need to look up to know who it was."Asher," I whispered, my voice barely audible.He didn't speak right away. He just s

Chapter Sixteen "The Bitter Betrayal"Zarina's POVI sat on the couch in the pack living room, my hands resting in my lap, but my mind elsewhere. The room around me distorted as I fought to keep a hold on my emotions. The weight of everything that was pressing down on me felt like a boulder in my chest, suffocating me.It was a long day, a day that was comprised of moments that did nothing but make me feel more alone than ever before. I wanted to be with Asher. I wanted him to see me, to understand what I was going through. But each time I tried, it was as if something, or someone, thrust me back.The door creaked open, and my heart skipped a beat. I did not have to look up to know who it was. Cara.She walked into the room, her heels clicking loudly on the floor, each one echoing out in the silence. Her smile was fake, that cold, calculating smile she always wore when she wanted something. And I knew, in my gut, she wanted something from me today.I looked away, not wishing to show h

Chapter SeventeenEmotionalZarina's POV (I)I couldn't take it anymore. I had been in my room for hours, my head spinning. Why was Asher not paying attention to me? What did I do wrong? The quietness around me was crushing, was choking. I kept repeating everything that happened—the way he was cold, the way his eyes didn't have the heat they used to have when he looked at me.I missed him. I missed the way he guarded me, the way he watched over me. But now. it was like he did not even notice me anymore. He had been avoiding me for days. Every time I tried to talk to him, he would just turn and walk away, or worse, remain silent. It hurt so much.I attempted to hold back the tears, but it was in vain. The pain in my chest was excruciating. I felt as if I was losing him, and it was breaking me from the inside out. I stood up from the bed, quickly brushing away the tears, trying to hold back the paralyzing sadness. I had to find him. I had to talk to him. Maybe then would I understand wh

Chapter Eighteen : The News That Got MeZarina's POVToday was the mating ceremony.It was supposed to be a lovely day. A day of happiness, love, and joy.Not for me.I sat on my bed in silence, staring at the floor as if it would give me answers. My heart was sore. My chest felt tight. I could hear voices downstairs—loud, excited, happy. Everyone was rejoicing.And me?I was still here, in a plain dress that was nothing compared to what Cara would have had on. I didn't do my hair. I didn't dye my lips. I didn't smile.Because inside, I was scared.What if he wouldn't choose me?What if everything between us was a lie?What if… I was just someone he used?My hands trembled as I rose to my feet. My legs felt weak. My wolf inside me was quiet, almost somber. She had been hurting for days—missing Asher, pining for him. But he wasn't here. He was keeping away from me. Ignoring me like I meant nothing.I moved slowly out of my room.And then I saw her.Cara.She was standing in the hallway

Chapter NineteenUnexpected Zarina’s POVAsher’s voice filled the room, warm and comforting. He walked in holding a beautiful gown, his eyes locked on mine.“I got this for you,” he said softly, his voice gentle as he handed it to me. “Make sure you wear it for the ceremony. I want everyone to see you, Zarina. I want them to know you’re my mate. I will announce you as mine, and everyone will know.”My heart stopped for a moment. He really means it… I couldn’t believe it. He’s going to announce me… as his mate. Finally.I took the gown from his hands, my fingers shaking with excitement. The soft fabric felt cool against my skin, and the way he looked at me made me feel like I was floating. The gown was beautiful—a deep red with gold embroidery along the edges. It was perfect for this moment.“I’ll be there, Asher,” I whispered, my voice shaking with happiness. “I’ll be there. I’m ready.”Asher smiled at me, a smile that made my heart flutter. “I know you will be. You’re my mate, Zarin

Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Point
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
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The pack future
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
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Choice
Chapter 82: The Choice Zarina's POVI woke before dawn that day and slipped quietly out of bed, trying not to rouse Asher. His steady breathing beside me was comforting, but I knew I couldn't stay. I had to do this on my own. I had to go get the supplies—medicine and rice burn—anything I could do to help. The pack needed it, and I knew I couldn't rely on anyone but myself.As quietly as I could, I grabbed a small bag, filled it with what I would need along the way, and crept towards the door. The house was still, no one stirred. But as I stepped out into the cold morning air, a knot formed in my chest. Ahead of me lay the forest, dark and silent, and a sense of dread crawled up my back. But I had no choice. The pack needed me.I tried to walk softly as I made my way deeper into the woods, away from the packhouse. The trees seemed to close in around me as the woods swallowed me whole. The scent of wet earth and pine was thick in the air, and the silence was oppressive. Still, I presse
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Unspoken Fears
Chapter: Asher and Zarina’s Unspoken FearsI woke to the soft sound of breathing beside me. It was early, and the world outside was shrouded in a quiet morning mist. I rolled over to see Zarina sleeping, her face serene and peaceful. The night had been thick with a weight that I could not shake off, and now the morning felt almost too quiet by comparison.My mind was racing with thoughts of the Red Moon Pack, the threat looming over us, and the stakes. I couldn't allow them to destroy us. I couldn't have my pack injured, but above all, I couldn't lose Zarina.Our bond grew stronger with each passing day, much to her reservations. The healer's words echoed in my mind — the children might not be mine, but I didn't care. I loved them and I loved her, more than she knew herself. But I didn't know how to console her.I smoothed her hair back from her face, my hands on her soft skin. She moved, her eyelids opening, and I could see the fear in them before she had even said anything."You're
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate Peace
Chapter 8 0: In His Arms, I Found PeaceZarina's POVI couldn't breathe.Not because of thin air, but because whatever had been piling up inside me had suffocated me. The Red Moon Pack cutting off our provisions was the grapevine buzz all over town. Folks whispered it in small groups. I'd seen the fear, anger, blame, earlier on the elders' faces—now it was in everyone's eyes: I knew they were thinking of me.I sat by the window, watching the darkness engulf the sky. My babies were asleep, their little chests rising and falling in a smooth motion. Peace didn't live within my heart this night, however.What if all of this was my fault?What if, staying within this pack, I had brought misfortune upon everyone? The sacrifices first, then the elders attacking Asher, and now this…Tears slipped down my cheeks unnoticed. I hated this. I hated being helpless. I hated being a burden to the man I loved and to the children we had brought into the world.I had to talk to him.I got up, tied my sh
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Breaking Point
Chapter Title: The Breaking PointAsher's POVThe council room was too quiet. I stood at the far end of the large table, arms crossed, my thoughts racing.The door slammed open, and five elders entered, their faces stern with worry and something more—anger.Elder Doran, the eldest of them, stepped forward. "Alpha Asher," he said, bowing. "We need to speak. Now."I nodded. "Go on."A another old man, Garron, slapped a sheet of paper down on the table. "The Red Moon Pack has withdrawn their trade agreement from us."I blinked in surprise. "What?""They said they won't be selling us any more medicine or riceburn food," Doran continued, his voice this time firmer.I advanced, taking the paper and scanning the message. The seal was clear. Official."They blamed you," Garron's tone escalated. "They charged you with embarrassing the daughter of their Alpha—in public. That you preferred an inferior, unknown girl to inter-pack harmony."My heart sank, yet my face stayed calm. "So they're going
