Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Moment We Find Ourselves Again
Chapter Forty Two: The Moment We Find Ourselves AgainZarina's POVThe morning sun broke through the window, casting warm shadows on the room. I awoke to the soft sound of breathing, the comforting warmth of Asher lying beside me. It had been a long night, but the exhaustion that clutched at me was not just physical—it was the burden of all that had happened. The long walk through the woods, the cold, the not knowing… and the argument with Asher's mother and Cara that had left me feeling so small, so helpless. But Asher had been there for me, his arms embracing me, his voice strong, his words a protector.I looked at him now, his face soft in sleep, his breathing even. He was always so tough, so capable, but in the still moments like these, I could see the vulnerability in him. The way his brow furrowed ever so slightly as he slept, the way his lips parted just ever so slightly. I couldn't help but wonder what was running through his mind when he wasn't struggling to hold it all toget

Chapter Fifty Nine : The Moment of ProtectionIt was early in the morning when the sun just began to peek up, showering the land surrounding the pack's territory in soft, golden colors. There was no movement of air and, in stark contrast, the home Asher constructed for the kids and Zarina seemed calm—to serene—for the events about to unfold.Zarina stood frozen in the corner of the room, cradling one of the babies in her arms. She looked out the window, trying to calm her racing heart. She had hardly gotten used to living with Asher, her mate, and his two kids in the same house. It had not been smooth sailing, and the threat from his pack, particularly Cara, clung to her mind like a dark cloud. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.But she was trying to adjust to this new way of life, trying to give her children the stability they needed. Asher had been wonderful with them—loving, protective, and kind. But today, things were different. Zarina couldn't put her finger o

Chapter:m Sixty : of DeceitAsher's POVThe day began as usual, but there was a restless heaviness in the air. I felt it, sneaking in the peripheries of my mind, though I could not put my finger on why. The children were out playing in the backyard, and Zarina was making breakfast in the kitchen, her gentle hum harmonizing with the morning light.But something about today did not sit well. It was like the peace in our home was to be broken, and I did not know whose hand would be responsible to break it.I entered the kitchen to find Zarina. She looked up, smiling tiredly. but warmly at me, though I could sense discomfort creeping into the corner of her eyes that I couldn't help but notice. At the start of speech, however, Cara appeared in the doorway. Her presence hung over me, her assessing stare never far from behind me."May I have a word with you?" Cara's voice was almost too sugary, the kind of sugary that seemed to hide something else, something nefarious. She was another Alpha'

Chapter Sixty One : What It TakesZarina's POVThe atmosphere was electric as the members of the pack gathered under the age-old oak tree at the heart of their domain. The branches above us twisted out like warped arms, and the moon was behind dense, heavy clouds, casting a strange shadow over every face.I was standing beside Asher, and the cold was penetrating to the bone. The whispers around us were hushed, fearful, and bewildered.We were all aware as to why we had been invited here tonight.Something terrible was happening to the pack. Crops were dying. Animals were abandoning the forests. Disease was taking our finest warriors without anyone even noticing. And the ancient tales spoke only of one solution when a curse fell upon the land in this way.A sacrifice.A blood offering.The elders sat in a circle, their shoulders wrapped in tattered cloaks. Their faces were stern and fatigued. I clung to my babies tightly, trying to soothe their soft whimpering. They felt the terror in

Chapter: My HeartAsher’s POVThe night was too quiet.I stood by the window, looking out into the infinite night. The village that had once pulsed with life was now lifeless. Terror clung to the air like thick smoke, permeating every inch of our lives.They wanted blood.They wanted a sacrifice.And in spite of all I fought, in spite of all I stood up before them and said there would be a choice, I could still feel their eyes… still feel their fear.They had looked at my children.My blood seethed just thinking about it.I wheeled about to find Zarina holding one of the triplets in her arms. Her eyes were tired, but she tried to smile down at the baby, to lie that everything was all right.The other two were already snuggled into the bed, small bodies rising and falling with soft breaths as they slept.God, how tiny.How innocent.They didn't deserve it.None of them did.I walked over and swept Zarina's arm with my own. She looked up at me, her eyes full of unspoken fear. She did no

Chapter: A Leader's Burden(Asher's POV)The hall was quiet.Not the calm kind.The heavy, suffocating kind that made the air too thick to breathe.I stood at the front, looking out over my pack.Their faces were pale.Their eyes were wide with fear.Their shoulders stiff with concern.No one spoke.Not at first.The fire crackled weakly in the fireplace.It did nothing to remove the chill that had settled into the room —the kind of chill that came not from the weather, but from fear.Finally, one of the elders stood up.His voice was hoarse, as if he had been shouting or crying before he got here."No one lived through last night," he said, looking around at all of them."We waited. We watched. But not one soul crossed the grounds at midnight."There were murmurs all around the room.People whispering, heads shaking.Mothers clinging to their children more tightly.Fathers glancing suspiciously around.I said nothing.I needed to hear them.I needed to let them pour out their fears

Chapter: Whispers in the NightZarina's POVThe evening was quiet, too quiet.The wind barely whispered through the leaves outside, and the only sounds inside were the soft sounds of the sleeping children breathing lightly in their beds.I remained sitting on the edge of our bed, fingers crossed in my lap, gazing at the door. Asher still had not come to bed. Once more.I knew he was carrying the weight.I saw it in his eyes, how they fogged each time there was mention of the word sacrifice.It was not fair. It was not just.But Asher was the Alpha.And when the rest of the others were afraid to do so, it was him that all of them looked up to.I got up quietly, not to wake the children, and moved down the hallway barefoot. The house was dark, with only the gentle warm glow of a lantern left burning in the living room.And there he was.Asher was reclined on the floor, the top of his head resting against the couch, his old book on his lap. His knees were under the book, his elbows hooke

Chapter Sicty FiveThe Burden of LeadershipZarina’s PovI leaned against the window, the night air stinging cold against my skin, my fingers touching the stone sill lightly. The moonlight this evening was colder than usual, casting long shadows across the woods, making the familiar landscape into one that was almost alien. The air was tense, charged, and for all I could do, I couldn't shake it away.Asher was fighting. I could see it, feel it in every line of his posture, every heavy step he took. The pack was closing in on them, their needs growing more and more desperate, their eyes full of fear, of anger. They hungered for blood. They hungered for sacrifice. And as their Alpha, Asher's responsibility was to make the decision, to lead them through this dark and dangerous time. But I could see it in his eyes—the fear, the uncertainty. It was there, lurking under his stoic facade, and it was destroying my heart.I wasn't sure how long he could hold out.The soft creak of the door warn

Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Party Start
Chapter 92: The Party StartsZarina's POVI stood in front of the mirror, brushing my hair slowly. My hands were trembling slightly. I did not know why. Maybe it was the way Asher gazed at me when I told him that I was going to Cara's birthday party. His eyes were piercing, worried. He did not shout. He did not argue. But his silence said so much more than words could.She's up to something," he had told me earlier that day. "Zarina, I know she went to you as a friend. I know she apologized. But please… be careful. Don't trust her so easily."I had nodded, my hand over his. "I'll be careful. But I don't want to live in fear. Maybe she really means it this time. Maybe she's changing."He didn't complain, but I saw how his jaw clenched. I knew he didn't believe so.Still, I was already dressed. I wore a soft blue dress that flowed down to my ankles. There was something calming about it. Maybe because my mind had been anything but. I'd been fatigued lately. Weak. My head would spin somet
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The Warning
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. "What is it?He crossed the room, his boots thudding on the wooden floor, and stood in front of me. He didn't sit down, just

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. Hollow. Lost. Weary.But still I rose. I went to check on the kids, then cleaned the little sitting area by the rear of the house. I needed to move. To breathe. To keep going.I didn't expect I'd be seeing her again so soon.But then, just shy of noon, the front door softly knocked. I stiff
Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate The apology
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. Sort of harmless.My heart skipped in my chest, and I gripped the doorjamb tightly."What do you want?" I whispered."I just. I want to talk," she replied. She was talking low and trembling. "Please, Zarina. I'm not here to fight. I swe
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
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
