Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 20
AsherShe glowed.Those were the first thoughts that entered my head as I looked at her face, solely fixated on the screen.Her eyes were glossy with tears, yet the bright flush on her cheeks and joyous smile that curled up her lips told otherwise. Even in the combination of the daylight and offensive bleached hospital lights, she shone.It felt like a punch to the stomach, taking my breath away. Something in me felt heavy and pulsing, rushing through my ears frantically. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was; my heartbeat.What was I feeling?I wanted to run away to the nearest bathroom or closed corner where I could cool down and push away the cacophony of sensations that bombarded me. But I couldn't, because I wanted to stay here, savoring this moment, this look of happiness I had seen on her face. My reason fought against my feelings and with her face drawing me in like a moth to a flame, the latter won. I highly doubted that it was even a battle at all.The words of th

Ariezel's POV The next morning, I was prepared for work as usual.“Good day Ambrose?" I greeted entering my seat.He greeted me in kind whilst I focused on the set of documents he had assigned me.Despite my attempts focus was far from my mind. The memories of the day before remained and the war in my mind was ongoing.Deep inside I was still berating myself over the last words I said. Yet at the same time, the memory of what he had done couldn't be pushed away. Without any prompting, he had taken me to the hospital for a check up. If Goddess forbid, Derek was there would he have done the same thing ? Would he have been patient, silently taking me to the pack doctor and waiting till I was back? That was an obvious no.By the time the clock struck twelve, I had already anticipated what was coming next. Despite my constant refusal to get Ambrose to stop bringing food for me he continually acted like he had no control over it which was odd. After all, why was one helpless to his order

Asher's POVWalking to my room after the exhausting day usually felt shitty, yet at this moment, what were supposed to be grumbles became mere murmurs underneath the thoughts at the forefront of my mind, all pointed at a single person.Did Ariezel read the note and flowers? I wondered if she had already realized the true sender.A small rumble of satisfaction filled me at the thought. I relished the satisfaction I felt, stepping into my door.“Welcome back.”Only to stop in my tracks.On my bed, Serena lay, hair splayed out as she laid right where I slept. The sight brought a strangely bitter feeling to me . The sight of her staying there made discomfort crawl up me.But I didn't say a word as she slowly rose up, sauntering towards me in a way that seemed stilted.“Serena. Why are you here?” I asked.She shook her head stretching. “I just missed you Asher. Oh you will not believe the day I just had and who I met on the way.”Her words were vague, yet her face looked smug and satisfie

Ariezel's POVThere was not going to be any more pestering, I had made sure of that.In the confines of my room, I looked up to the ceiling.I should have been happy about this.Why wasn't I happy?…I went to work as normal, but during the lunch period nobody came in.I glanced at the door a few times before giving in. A tendril of disappointment filled me which I quickly curbed. I couldn't be disappointed.I had chosen this afterall.The only sign that remained if his changes was the fact that I still worked with Ambrose and the meals they served me in the cafeteria.For the past several days I had barely seen him as usual. Aside from the moments in the cafeteria where he ate, there was not a trace of him. The living scene I used to see with him and Serena was gone, and for some reason the lack filled me with a mix of joy and guilt at the same time.I should have been happy.Why wasn't I happy?On the weekend of my next check-up, I went to the hospital alone, tracing the way with so

Asher's POV The hallways were almost never empty.Save for events such as pack meetings where the pack spent time outside the pack house than inside, there was almost never a time when there wasn't anybody in the vicinity. Everyday, at least one person would arrive at a corner, suddenly bowing at the sight of me. One other would be conversing with a group of people laughing until they stilled at noticing my presence.There were so many other scenarios I could have brought, but all of them were the same result.I was never truly alone yet I remained lonely.It wasn't new to me. Even though I still had a fiancee, and was the leader of a pack of many, I never felt fully belonging.Yet now, I felt it more than ever, and it was all because of one woman with infuriatingly red hair and a pair of sky blue eyes.“I was scared”The recent memory of one of the real 'interactions' I had with her still stood in my mind.As she spoke of how my actions affected her, why she thought I did what I di

Ariezel's POVThere was always a sense of anticipation during the dawn.It began with the still sense of darkness, difficult to see in without the presence of the moon and stars that had long escaped from sight. Slowly the world lightened, darkness rising into incandescent hues making the whole world seem all the more coolerThen slowly but surely, a single ray of the sun broke the sky, the starting point for overwhelming brightness that would soon touch the sky.My life at this moment was like that. After days of darkness and pain, the ray of happiness had finally come through in my life.The day at the garden was the turning point for our interactions.I resisted letting the cracks grow any further af first. Since my childhood, it has been difficult for me to interact with others, usually ending up being shut out. Then my only solace was Derek, who was the only person I spoke and laughed freely with.And then our parents died. Derek changed, and I was permanently shut out.Asher's a

Asher's POV“Asher…”I rested against her, kissing her soft skin. “Asher please.” she cried again, her voice the sweetest melody.“Asher…”“Asher…”Savoring the feeling of her soft skin against my lips, I finally let go of all my inhibitions, looking up at the mysterious woman.Waved flames draped over her figure, the strands glowing against the lights. She was an angel, and I could see it already.As I looked higher up, my heart stopped.Because as I looked at those cerulean eyes, the small fairy-like face and those wonderful, wonderful lips, and the once mysterious voice, it all came together.It was Isabella.“Asher…”I woke up to a dark empty room “Fuck." I cursed, heaving from the too fresh dream I had, ones which had plagued me for the past months now.It all began from the day I saw her in the hallway.I remembered the instant panic, worry and felt when I saw her lying in the hallway. If the sight of bruises was enough to send me into rage, the stream of blood, no matter how

Asher's POVWe sat mostly in silence, savoring the peaceful garden when she spoke up.“Why does your pack fear you so much?”Her question halted all my thoughts and u turned, fear crawling up my throat.“You don't have to answer, but…I just wanted to know. Everyone speaksThe fear left, and was replaced by something so bright. Wonder was too small a word.It was the fact that she cared well enough to listen, ignoring the rumors she had been fed to come to me, free of judgment. It was the fact that above all, she had somehow managed to reach into my desire without knowing. It was all that pushed me to speak.“My parents were killed by another pack.”I felt her breath hitch but continued.“It was the most devastating thing I had ever felt. Then I was only 20, feeling far too young to take on the burden of grief as well as handling my pack. I wanted to grieve, but the pack was also grieving, so I forced myself to be strong then. The only person by my side was… ” my breath hitched a the
