Asher’s POV

Last night had been reckless. I was losing control of myself and it irritated me beyond my imagination. The evening played in my head. I had kissed Luna Melody.

I pranced like a hungry wolf in the room. My obsession with Layla had to end or it would eventually ruin me. But then…

I was very convinced that I was right last night. When I called her Layla and she looked back, it felt just right. Why was she at the temple alone at night too? Why was she bothered about the death of Layla?

The kiss had been short and wild. Just when I thought she had surrendered to me, she pushed me off, her eyes blaring hot with anger. Now, I’d made a fool of myself. And I hated being made a fool of.

I sent for Alpha Nathan.

He looked at me as though he could see right through me, but I knew he had no idea why he was seated in front of me before the break of dawn. I was troubled. Sleep had evaded me and I needed answers.

We spoke of politics first, the concerns about the southern territories and

  • Bound By Fate: Mated To The Enemy   Chapter 76

    Damon’s POVMy forehead burnt hot, yet I felt cold shivers in my bones. The shiver was followed by pain - sharp and intense. The room was dark, safe for a single candle burning in a corner, and the smell of burning herbs filled my nostrils. I tried to move and intense pain shot through my bones.Memories filtered in like nightmare. Fangs in the air, charging at me. Pain as they dug into my side and tore me. The voice of Lycan Asher screaming my name. I tore off my shirt suddenly and stared at the heavy bandage over my side. I had been woken up by a nightmare, but the nightmare was indeed real.I turned with effort, clenching my teeth hard as pain shot to my feet. When I managed to get off the bed, I dragged myself to the window. I was in Crescent moon pack, I could see. A full moon was peeping underneath a small cloud. I wasn’t sure how many days I had been out but I knew the last time I was conscious, I was at the southern border with Lycan Asher.I called out my wolf. There was no a

    Layla’s POVI crumpled the note and tucked it under my blouse. The signed note was the only incriminating thing in that parcel and it would easily be used as evidence that Lady Melody was having an affair. It could cause damage if it got into the wrong hands. I was going to burn it tonight and no one would ever see it again.I closed the box gently and returned it back to where I had taken it from. And I wondered: Did Damon know about the letter? Has he seen it before? If he had, why was he silent about it? Was he planning to use it against me in the future?On the way out, I decided to stop at the servant’s quarters to see Pearl. There was too much going around her lately and I had to put an end to this suspense. It was my first time in the dark part of the castle. The air was damp and musty and clothes hung in lines on the corridor. I couldn’t understand how those that spent the whole day cleaning the castle could not have time to clean their quarters. Taking a turn, I stumbled on s

    Layla’s POVLycan Asher’s study was where my father’s study used to be, and it was heavily guarded on both ends of the corridors. It was insanely impossible to sneak in without being seen, and I had no business there. After several attempts and growing suspicions, I gave up the idea. I had to devise another means to gain access to that study. Perhaps, there was a secret door. But only Alpha Nathan would know.Alpha Damon had a smaller study beside our room. I slid into it. There could be something to find there, although I doubted he knew much about his cousin’s operations. I moved through drawers and found a lot of things that made no sense to me. There were reports, trade agreements with other packs, letters but there wasn’t much to grasp except the role of Damon. He was a diplomat.A small parcel wrapped tightly with a piece of cloth caught my attention. I pulled it out and set it on the desk. It was wrapped as though it contained something really important. My heart thrummed in m

  • Bound By Fate: Mated To The Enemy   Chapter 73

    Asher’s POVThe terrain was rougher than I had expected, and it only grew rougher the farther we went. We had the option to opt for a less strenuous path through the thick woods, but there was the fear that we wouldn’t reach the southern border by moonlight. So we continued, moving through rocks and crossing fast moving streams and then a large stretch of land with no trees or water, just the sun on our backs.We were just a company of ten men, and luckily we had brought enough supplies for the trip. Damon was riding beside me, and he had been oddly quiet throughout the trip. I wasn’t up for much conversation myself. A lot was on my mind, but primarily, I was obsessed with the new information I had gotten from Alpha Nathan.The scar. It was the key to unlocking my suspicions. If she didn’t have the scar, then I would apologise to her and finally agree that Layla was indeed gone. The question that occupied my mind now was how? How was I going to find that out?I turned slightly to Damo

    Layla’s POVPassed out?I rushed towards the room, forgetting Cassandra and her drama. I knew something had been wrong with Pearl when I saw her that morning. My guts were hardly wrong. She was slumped in a chair by the window, her head resting on the back rest. Her skin was as pale as moonlight. She forced a smile.‘’My lady,’’ she murmured weakly. ‘’The floor just seemed to spin underneath my feet for a moment. I’m alright now.’’I crossed the room to where she sat. When I was priestess of the pack, I had learnt a bit of healing from Raven. One of the signs she had always looked out for was a burning fever. It was always a sign that something was wrong. I placed my palm on her forehead. It was not hot.‘’It’s just the stress, my lady,’’ she repeated. There was something in her eyes, something that told me it wasn’t just fatigue. She looked like she was in some sort of agony.‘’Don ’t lie to me, Pearl,’’ I said, and sent away the guards. ‘’I knew something was wrong the moment you st

  • Bound By Fate: Mated To The Enemy   Chapter 71

    Layla’s POVI was awake for a long time after I returned to the room. I was disturbed because I realised late that Damon had seen my smeared lipstick. I was troubled by the kiss Asher and I had shared, and my mind was overcome with guilt.Damon didn’t return until it was very late and I pretended to be asleep. I wasn’t brave enough to face his accusing eyes. When I woke up, he was gone. They said he and Lycan Asher had left for the southern border. I had a terrible feeling about it suddenly.Pearl arrived with my breakfast, as well as to prepare me for the day. I had insisted on having my breakfasts alone in the room. I could tolerate Cassandra and Isabella during dinner.‘’Your father wishes to speak with you before he leaves, my lady,’’ she said, setting down the tray.She avoided my eyes but I could tell from her lacklustre voice and the way she carried herse;f that something was wrong.‘’Pearl,’’ I called out. ‘’Is something wrong? You don’t sound like your usual bubbly self.’’
