Beth POV. Beth woke up with a gasp, heaving with sweat dripping down her face. She had just had a bad dream, a very bad one at that. At first, Everything was just a jumbled mess of memories and images that made little or no sense to her. Just then, as if struck by a thunderbolt, Elizabeth remembered what she had dreamt about as she yelp even more in panic. Asher had tried to kill she and her unborn child. In the dream, he has a dagger with him and was going to kill her and her child with it. Elizabeth shivered as she recalled his every move and even the look of hatred in his eyes. It was all so real, so real that she thought it was really the end. She had never seen Asher look at her that way before. The look in his eyes was one of pure loath and hatred, one so strong she knew if it had been real, he would have probably killed her. But then again, it was just a dream. Just then, she let out a deep sigh and glanced at his side of the bed, only to find it empty. Asher wasn’t ther
Asher was furious within himself as he continued to head towards his room. Kara really has some nerve going against him like that. He clearly gave her an order and she did the exact opposite.A smile tugged at the corner of his lip when he recalled Kara’s words some more. Elizabeth had really hit her on the face? Whoa, looks like his little miss wasn’t exactly as helpless after all.Hitting Kara that way is risky and at the same time brave but he still got to hand it to her. She didn’t allow herself get intimidated by the fact that Kara could hurt her really bad.Asher has always seen the fire in her eyes and know she is a fierce one. Being through a lot yet still tough on the inside like little crackless nut.The Alpha caught himself smiling even though as he thought about the hunter's daughter now under his care. He really can’t believe he was thinking in that direction but Elizabeth was starting to affect him too much. So much so that he can’t help but protect her at every second
Elizabeth woke up the next morning with a start. She lay still, trying to slow her erratic breathing to a halt while memories from last night flood into her mind just as slowly. She blinked once then twice. If she was breathing right at that moment then it means, She wasn’t death yet. Elizabeth continued to blink, now trying to adjust her eyes to the ray of sunlight filtering into the room. When she did, she was quite surprised to see Eva, the pack doctor beside her. She smiled down at Elizabeth whose face was masked in confusion. Asher stood beside her with a deep frown on his face, he avoided her eyes and Elizabeth could tell that he was feeling somewhat guilty. He should be, that was the reaction she expected from him. She gulped, looking away from him. There was a numb feeling within her and it stemmed from the fact that she was still having a slight pain in her stomach. “Hello, Elizabeth, how do you feel?” Eva asked. She gave Elizabeth’s hands a gentle squeeze, smiling ligh
“I’m worried about Elizabeth’s health” Asher muttered. He was seated by the high rocks, overseeing their lands with his Beta by his side who only turned to stare back at him, wishing he could elaborate further. “I don’t know if the medication Eva have her is working but the attack keeps getting worst” “Maybe you should take her to the city for a proper check up” Alex suggested and Asher’s head snapped at his direction. “No will do. It’s not like she is sick but the baby is trying to get used to her, hence the pain” Alex shrug, “Well then, I guess it’s no big a deal. Eva will make sure she doesn’t have anymore complications” Asher sighed, before speaking again. “I think too much stress is adding to her issue as well” Alex gave him a knowing look, “Whose fault is that?” “I had sex with Kara and Elizabeth got jealous and hit her on the face” Asher blurted. “Wait, what now?” Alex shirked and Asher simply shrug. “Yes she did and boy, I can’t believe I’m saying this but I was kin
Morning came quicker than expected with Beth waking up to find Asher still holding on to her just as tightly. She tried to untangle from him but he only snuggled even closer with incoherent words erupting his parted mouth. She let out a deep sigh and tried again but he held on even tighter. “Come on, Asher. I need to pee right now” She grumbled and heard him groan but still did not let go. “Let me go right now or I’m going to freaking pee on the bed” She threatened before letting go and even jumped off the bed she quickly struggled back on her feet. “You really have no chills” He murmured. Beth snorted at him and kept looking for her slippers. She sighed in relief when she finally found it and slipped her feet into it. “Hold on” Asher called at her, halting her as well. Asher stride over to where she stood with furrowed brow before sweeping her into his arms and began matching towards the bathroom. Instead of protesting, she clung onto his chest with another sigh. Her bladder
Her shoulders looked visibly tense with eyes completely casted to the floor as she stood before the council of elders. Asher wasn’t far off either as he stood with a rather bored expression. No one has said a word since they both walked in, even though they were talking among themselves before they arrived. Her eyes darted towards the elders and immediately locked eyes with elder Marcus, his eyes were as cold and dark just like she remembered as he sat watching her as though he could smell fear dripping off her. She couldn’t place it but she had a feeling that Elder Marcus knew more than he was showing. It showed in the way his eyes moved between her and Asher before his jaw clenched even more. She shifted her weight from one foot to the next and Asher seem to notice her discomfort before he reached over and pulled out a chair and asked her to seat on it. “Thank you” She told him with a small smile and elder Marcus cleared his throat loudly, getting everyone else attention as wel
Livid at what they had said, Asher went running into the woods in his wolf form.His mind was in great turmoil as he thought about what the council of elders had said. Did they really think that he would kill Elizabeth as soon as she delivers?Elizabeth didn’t deserve death and he was going to make sure she didn’t die. Despite his initial stand in the matter, now he knows how wrong he has been trying to make her pay for her father’s sin.For someone who has been through the cruelest of moment, She still held him close when he was at his lowest. He would never forget how she took care of him when he was at the point of death.Her strength and care for him was second to none and he would never forget everything she had done for him. He let out a howl into the forest, long and hard. So much so that it was enough to scare off birds perching at tree topsAsher was beyond confused. On one hand, he knew that disobeying the council of elders' instructions would be a very terrible thing to do
Asher, upon returning to the room, was quite surprised when he couldn’t find Elizabeth in bed. It was odd that she wasn’t in because he didn’t quite expect that she would be out, especially after hearing what the council of elders had to say about her.He shut the door quietly before walking further into the room. His eyes looking around as he tried to find out where she might be. There was no indication that anything was amiss which just left him feeling confused on her where about.“Elizabeth?” Asher called but got no response.He was met with a stiff silence that filled him with a sense of foreboding. Something was definitely wrong but for the life of him, he couldn’t quite place a finger on what it was.He made his way towards the bathroom, knocking lightly at the closed door to see if she was in there taking a shower but he was met with more silence. He pushed it open and found it empty.“Could she have ran away?’’ Asher muttered with a frown.He walked back into the room, confu
