Asher

The almost sickly sweet floral scent wisped through my nose the moment I opened the door. It was a welcoming presence for everyone who stepped into this place, and a warning for others repelling them from stepping away. I entered the room with ease, shutting the door behind me.

It may have been a warning for others, but not for me.

The place was dark, very little light emanating from the windows. Despite that, the air remained fresh, probably even more refreshing compared to the forest.

That was the wonder of this place. One would call it magic. In a way, and i suppose it was.

Tiny tinkling sounds came, becoming louder and louder as footsteps emerged.  I straightened to my full position, ready to meet her.

A figure emerged from a smaller room and came towards me, her frame becoming more and more visible every closer she got.

Fully decked in silver jewelry with a deep blue robe, the high priestess looked up with a smile.

“Welcome, Alpha Blackwell. What, may I ask, brings you here?” she said bowing lightly.

She rose up to her full frame, a woman in her thirties, although her face looked deceptively youthful. With silvery white hair and the absence of any wrinkles, she stood high in every pack ceremony.

Unlike all the other pack members I knew who either looked at me with fear and awe, she saw me as nothing more than a person. I couldn't near her, neither could I fully trust the mysterious, all-knowing look in her eyes nor her words which always seemed like riddles.

There was another person though, who looke at me differently. Thoughts of her cane to my mind. Her bright blue eyes and hair that glowed like embers in the sun.

“I want nothing to do with you.”

I snapped out of my thoughts. Where had that come from?

I quickly. There was no reason to even think of her.

I focused on the priestess, “I need you to help me do something.”

She slinked across the room, her jewels tinkling in tandem. She ignored my presence aside from speaking. “This must be a special occasion then, tell me what you need.”

“I need you to break a mate bond.”

The tinkling stopped as I watched her stop in her tracks.

“You have found your mate then.” she said it matter-of-factly, unsurprised in her words.

“It doesn't matter. All I need to know is how to break it as soon as possible.” I said.

“Ah…i remember…” she said raising her eyebrows to.look surprised while her eyes told a different story.

“Your mating ceremony with Serena is coming up. What a a dillema you have found yourself in dear Alpha.

“sThen again, it all depends on your decision.

“Can it be done?” I spoke harshly, cutting off her spiel.

Silence reigned for the next few minutes. I looked at her as she played with her trinkets, my annoyance building up with the way she moved around without looking at me.

“It will take some time.” she finally said

“For what?” I demanded.

She looked at me and gave a cat-like smile “To find a solution of course,”

Her ambiguous attitude was grating on my nerves. Fisting my hands, I held in the urge to growl, knowing that she won't care anyways.

“How. long?” I said.

Her laugh came, more serious than before.  She eyed me with a piercing serious look on her face all smiles and pretenses dropped.

“You must think that breaking a bond founded under the moon must be child's play. ” She said, furrowing her brows and gazing at me like one would dissapointing child.

Her look slipped away into her calm mysterious expression, giving a smile again before she bowed.

“Do not worry Alpha Asher, I will fulfill your wish. I will tell you when I have found a proper solution.” she finished, standing to look at me.

It may have been vague, but that was as much as I knew I could get.

I quickly turned around, striding to the exit when her voice came up again like a wisp.

“But when the time comes, will you be ready to pay the price?” she asked

My jaw clenched, face tightening at her question. Shutting my eyes, I ignored it closing the door behind me.

I entered the pack house, ready to storm into my room when I stopped in my tracks.

Outside, just a few metres away were a group of the pack members, taking part in cleaning and arranging one of the halls. It was a normal sight, them doing as they always did, but there was her.

Ariziel stood mètres away, positioned where she couldn't see me. She was cleaning one of the tables silently so focused and lost in her own world.

Whilst other girls bumped into each other, talking and playing and speaking as they worked, she remained alone as though she wasn't even noticing their presence.

I saw the ghost in her bright blue eyes, yet couldn't point it out. What was she thinking? What could have made her look that way?

I caught my thought and almost let out a growl of annoyance focused on myself. I shouldn't have cared- no. I didn't care. Irregardless that she was my mate, she was nobody else. Whenever the Priestess was done with her riddles, we were going to break the bond and I was going to marry Serena.

I held the thought close to me as I walked away.

She was nothing to me.

And she would always be nothing to me.

  • Her Second Chance Mate   Chapter 144

    Ariezel “Look out there! It's a pretty bird!"I looked in command, spotting the bird Camilla spoke of.Rubbing her hair gently, I shifted my gaze to face her.“Yes. It is a lovely bird." I said, smiling at her giggle.She turned back, her red curls bouncing along with her.She was the youngest out of the two of my half sisters, nine years old, although she continuously argues that she was turning ten.After getting to know Florian, he introduced me to both of them with joy. Although for now they only saw me as an aunt and the future Luna, in spite of our resemblance.It hadn't taken long for her to grow used to me, although Jolene, the older one, was more reserved.I turned to look at her in the hall we were staying in. She lounged in a chair, short blonde tresses resting on the couch as she read a book. She was the sole outlier out of us, and she was mostly quiet, always analyzing whenever I was present.It was okay, I didn't mind staying for as long as it took for her to get used t

  • Her Second Chance Mate   Chapter 143

    143: AriezelIn the end, Alys and Harriet left us alone in the room. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages.I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. It seemed more like a dream as I looked at him over.I felt him doing the same to me, awe and surprise written over his face.But we couldn't stay in silence for long. Not as it stretched to the point of awkwardness. Finally regaining a bit of my senses, I parted my lips to speak.“Hello." Both our voices chorused.I blinked in surprise. As it seemed we had both spoken at the same time.The single word seemed to sway through the tension that was presented. I cracked my lips in a small smile.“Please sit down." I said, gesturing to the chair which Alys once sat in.I was sure Alys must have been grilling Harriet by now. After all, she hadn't kept this from just me but from her as well.I waved the thought away easily. Alys and Harriet were the last thing on my mind as he sat down.It was even more uncan

  • Her Second Chance Mate   Chapter 142

    Ariezel“So one of the members said that she insulted her butt, so the other- her name was…Amber I think? Proceeded to shiver her own butt in my face just for comparison.”My stomach hurt badly solely from the amount of times I laughed. It was so difficult to catch my breath from the words Alys was saying.Thankfully, she waited till I was done before she spoke again.“In the end," Alys sighed despondently “The fight turned into a butt comparing contest with people as the audience and I being the judge. All I could think of at the moment was that this wasn't what I had prepared for."I howled again in laughter, the humor of her deadpan words further aggravated by the resigned, almost haunted look on her face. In my laughter I vaguely heard Alys laughter follow as minutes passed.My breaths heaving for air I looked at Alys to find an amused look on her face.“I glad that my misery could make you a little bit happy.” she said.I shook my head quickly in response .“I'm so sorry." I apo

  • Her Second Chance Mate   Chapter 141

    AriezelI was weightless, swimming in darkness without a care in the world. It felt like there was nothing holding me back. It might as well have been true.Like wisps of smoke, memories and voices came to me, only to fade away the moment I tried reaching out for them. In the end, I remained floating.I didn't know how much time I had spent, but soon, everything began to fade. The weightless darkness I floated in materialized until a firmament grew below, carrying me. The weightless darkness faded into something else. Something more material.Like a disk, I was drawn out of my water and the peaceful darkness, into something more material.And slowly but surely, I opened my heavy eyelids to see blinding light.It took me time to adjust, squinting and blinking against the harsh brightness. Once I finally did, all my other senses came back.A soft but firm surface below me, the scent of comfort that wafted over and ceiling I felt familiar in.Where was I?My memories then came back and

    AsherI focused on her, taking her hand in mine in spite of everything in me that resisted.“Hello Serena." I said in a gratingly low voice, looking into her eyes.She sighed, looking awestruck as she looked at me.She, just like all the others who had once fought and scrambled to force me to mate with them, only saw what I was from the outside. A ruthless alpha and a powerful one.There was only one who didn't.Thoughts hammered in my head, coaxing me to go back and fix what I had done. I stayed firm however and brought the blonde woman closer.It was only a matter of time.“Let's go inside Serena.” coaxing her away, I led her inside, eyeing the rest of her guards who moved away, paving the path for us.Together, we moved through the forest with her and I at the forefront whilst the rest of my soldiers and hers followed from behind. Our arms were linked as we walked while she spoke ravingly. She kept on rambling about how she knew that I was going to come back to her and all her :sac

  • Her Second Chance Mate   Chapter 139

    Ariezel My breath caught as those words reverberated through my brain long after they had gone.‘What?'My heart stuttered the moment I heard them, confusion filling my senses as I looked at him.It wasn't an illusion. Those were the words that came out of his mouth.‘Why?’What was he thinking? Why would he say that?I tried to look at him, praying that he would look at me and tell me that it was a hoax or something. Anything.But he kept his eyes away, focusing on Serena.“Asher." I cried out. I struggled against their grip, uncaring at that moment. It was only when I felt the threatening cool metal pressing against me in warning that I stopped.I didn't stop looking at him however, hoping that my call would finally make him focus on me.To my relief, it did.When he looked at me, I didn't expect to see his gaze so cold and shuttered.I was thrown aback by the sudden stare. This wasn't my Asher. The distance in his stare reminded me of back then, when he suddenly left me.My blood t
