Asher’s POV
“Alpha, there's a rogue wolf close to the pack's territory” Derek informed me through our mind link.
“What of the enforcers?”
“You asked them to guide the house”
“And Dale?”
“Can't reach him”
“Fine, I'm on my way out now”
“Come into the house, I want you guiding the house too”
“Does this have to do with your mate?” He asks and I could sense the taunt in his voice.
“Don’t you start with me now Derek”
“You’ve become so possessive over her Asher”
“Watch your tone, she’s my mate and soon to be Luna of our pack”
“Yes. Yes, yes, I know that. I’m just teasing you, calm down” He said laughing
“I’m on my way”
Leaving Raven is difficult but it’s necessary, given the situation of things.
My wolf urged me to go deal with the threat and return back to our mate.
“I have something urgent to take care of, I'll be back soon. Don’t wait up, I might stay long, "I inform her.
“Alright, I'll change and go to bed then”.
Stepping outside the house, I met Derek on his way in.
“I should come with you, rogue wolves are feral and can be difficult to deal with. It might be a trap” he says, stopping me at the entrance.
“It’s just one rogue, I can handle it. I need you here incase It’s a trap, so you can guide the house. Keep trying to get through to Dale, just incase”
“Alright then, anything you say”
“I’ll let you know if anything goes wrong”
Narrowing his eyes at me “make sure you do Asher”
“Fine, I’ll watch over our Luna” he said with a smirk and walked back inside.
Tracing the scent of the rogue to the pack’s territory, I could sense it but surprisingly it’s not just a rogue but rogues.
I could sense five of them, but they weren't in the same place. Interesting, I thought.
Rogue wolves are dangerous because they have nothing they are tethered to.
Not bound to any Alpha or tied to a mate. Blinded by rage, feral and bloodthirsty with the desire to kill.
A wolf becomes rogue if it has lost his mate or unable to find a mate on time, also if banished from a pack, a wolf without a pack and an Alpha to ground it can become a rogue.
Shifting quickly into my wolf form, I see them clearly.
Three at the rear of the pack’s territory, one so close to me to my right I could sense it and the other very close to the pack.
I charge at the one closest to me, not giving it a chance to see me coming, I lunge for it, ripping off the neck with my claws, this alerts the three at the rear of my presence and they come attacking.
Moving swiftly, I charge at them, clawing one in the eyes, leaving it howling in pain, the other two circle around me, but I take a defensive stand.
They attack together, I pounce on one and the other uses the opportunity to claw at my back, this made my wolf furious.
Snarling back, I bite down on its jugular while pinning the other down with my massive claw.
My vision is red, my wolf wants to play now, he bites down hard on one tearing its head off before dismembering the other.
Howling at the bloodlust, I ran in search for the last one close to the pack. As if sensing me, it turns and growls at me. I snarl back at him.
He charges forward to attack but I just stay put until close enough and I dodge it, sending it spiraling out of control.
My wolf clearly enjoys taunting it, charging at it, nipping and clawing at its back, the rogue howl in pain but that only fuels my bloodthirsty side.
My wolf, having had enough fun, rips its head off and drags the corpse to where the remaining four are and places them side by side before howling again.
The stench of blood is so thick in the air. Mate, my wolf snarled, I had to get back to Raven, I needed to be near her now.
I shifted back, blood stains on my body and face. I picked up my clothing and changed into them before returning back to the house.
Derek met me at the doorstep and stopped me, placing a hand on my chest
“You don’t wanna go in like that to see her”
“Take your hands off me”. He knows better not to touch me when I'm in this state.
“Asher!” he shouted, gaining my attention
“You’re going to scare her, you’ve got blood over you. At least change in the office before going up to see her”. He got me there, I didn't want Raven scared of me.
“Fine, I'll change in the office. But I need her, I need to feel her and hold her in my arms”. I told him.
“Fine, just rail it in. i’m going to look for Dale now”
As I approached our room, the scent of vanilla and roses from my mate calmed me down. I could hear her soft snore and the faint beat of her heart.
I stood by the door, leaning on the door frame and listening to her heart, watching her sleep. My wolf purred in contentment. Home.
She moved, making the blanket slip from her legs exposing her milky legs to me. A wave of arousal hit me in the groin, causing me to growl softly.
She stirred, and her eyes flew open, staring right at me.
Raven's POV Two years later “Bryon, don't do that, come here. You need to take your bath now.” I chuckled as Matilda chased Bryon round the house.At two, he was a force to reckon with, always full of mischief and trouble.He was really a handful, thanks to his godfathers and godmother who kept spoiling him and teaching him all the mischievous things he does, most especially Dale.Asher walked in with Dale behind him.“Da.” Bryon screamed, running towards him. Asher bent down and scooped him up.“Hey my little Alpha. How are you doing?” He asked and Bryon blew bubbles on his face and giggled.“Your boy is really a handful.” Matilda said to Asher, putting her hands on her waist.“Is that true? Have you been giving Matilda a tough time now, hmm?” He asked Bryon who just pouted back.Bryon turns to Derek. “Der.” He says, pointing at Matilda. He's reporting her to him. Derek just laughed, stroking his hair.“Play, play, play.” He chants, trying to wiggle down from Asher's arms.“Okay, o
Raven's POV “Bryon, you named him Bryon?” Maya asked, her eyes wide open in shock.“Yes, we did. It was actually Asher who brought it up.He said we should name him Bryon and I agreed.”“Wow! That's so thoughtful of him. I mean, Bryon was your little brother who Isla killed and he was the only member of your family that truly loved and cared about you.Asher did a good thing naming your son after him.” Maya said with a smile on her face.“Yeah, I wasn't expecting him to name our son after my brother but he did it for me and I'm so happy.For every time I look into my son's eyes, I'll always remember my little brother.” I said with a sad smile.Maya turned to my sleeping son in the cradle. “Hello little Bryon. You're so cute.” She says, rubbing his chubby cheeks.I smiled at them. “Dale's going to blow a fuse when he learns of the baby's name.” Maya said, happy with the decision made.I burst out laughing. “He will get over it, after all I'm already making him and Derek his godfathers
Asher's POV Another contraction came and Raven dug her fingers into my arm.“Okay, Raven, time to push again.” Arianna declared.Raven pushed. “You're doing a great job, Raven.” Maya said, from the side, encouraging her.Derek and Dale were just outside the room. It was just me, Maya, Matilda, Arianna and king here with Raven.Maya is bent on her other side, wiping away the sweat from entering her eyes and encouraging her.Raven kept pushing. Drained, she sagged against my chest. “I don't think I can do this anymore, I just can't.Nothing's happening, I'm tired.” She complained, breathing heavily.I kissed her temple. “Come on, baby. Don't give up now, you're doing it, darling and I'm so proud of you.” I said, smoothing her hair away from her face.“I know you're tired, but you're doing a great job. I'm here, draw strength from me.” I said, before turning to face Arianna.I scowled at her. “Why is it taking so long? She's in so much pain. What's going on?” Arianna gave me a look of
Raven's POV “Hmm, hmm, you're glowing. I'm guessing you enjoyed your wedding night?” Maya asked, making her way to the sitting room where I laid down reading a book.I blushed at her words, closing the book in my hands.“What are you talking about, Maya?” I asked, feigning ignorance.“Uh-huh, don't be coy with me iw. You know exactly what I'm talking about.Everyone saw you two leave the party early yesterday. What was it for, hmm?” She asked, sitting on the floor with her legs folded under her butt.“I was just tired last night and asked Asher to take me back to the house, that's all.” I said. It was the truth but not entirely the truth.Maya narrowed her eyes on me. I chuckled.“Fine. When we got back to the house, I got something to eat because I didn't realize I was starving at the party.Then, Asher told me he had a surprise for me later on.”“And what was the surprise?” She asked with a smirk playing on her lips.“He prepared a romantic night for us. He gave me a baby girl's tr
Asher's POV After dinner, we sat dn in the sitting room, relaxing and watching a movie.Raven had her legs in my lap as I helped massaged her feet gently.“Hmmm, that feels so good. You are so good at this, Asher.” She said, closing her eyes to enjoy the feeling.“Of course, I'm good at anything I set my eyes and hands to do. That's why I'm the best.” I said with a smug look.“Yeah, yeah, you're the best, we know it. No need to sound so smug about it.” She said, rolling her eyes at me.I gestured to her orange juice by her side, she still hadn't finished it yet.“Finish your juice, at least for now.” I said.“But I'm stuffed already, I don't want to.” She whined.I cocked my brow at her and inclined my head, an expression that screamed you have to.With a huff, she picked up the glass and downed the entire juice like it was a shot of tequila.“There. I'm done. Happy now?” She asked.“I was happy already, but now I'm contented.” I said, kissing her, taking my time to gorge myself on h
Asher’s POVI stopped dead in my tracks taking in the sight of Raven.She stood there in the white sleeved dress, flowing down to her ankle.She stood there looking like a Greek goddess, with those little gold trimmings accentuating the design of the dress.Her white creamy skin tanned to match with her blond hair and gave her skin a healthy glow.She had her hair bunched up in some kind of elegant updo that looked tousled with a few strands falling down the sides.She was breathtakingly beautiful and even my wolf growled in appreciation.She stared at me with that heated look in her eyes that made me want to claim her right here.If not for the audience we have, I would have had her bent over and fucked her thoroughly.I crossed to her with a smile on my face, sliding my arm around her.“You are sensationally beautiful, your beauty shines in the dark and radiates all around us. Sorry, I'm a bit late.” I whispered into her ear.She looked up at me with a smile on her face. “Thank you.
