Her lips parted slightly but no word made it out before she swallowed hard once again.Did she loose the baby? She wondered with her eyes darting between Asher's passive gaze to the lady rather calm ones.Not sure of what to say, she decided to ask question instead, "Did I loose the baby?"With raised brow, Asher leaned over her on the bed. "You would really love to loose it won't you?" He said accusingly."What??"He pushed himself away from her and then gave a careless shrug, "I don't know but you sounded like you wanted to hear something in the line of 'I'm sorry but you lost the baby', correct?" He said rather sarcastically, causing an irritating deep growl to erupt from her mouth but before she could retort with a comeback, The lady spoke up and forcing her to swallow back whatever remark she had coming up."You didn't lose the baby but I would advise that you eat well and healthy and also look after yourself and stop stressing too much because it's not good for you or the foetus
After a long peaceful night resting against the soft mattress and snuggling up against a warm body at some point in the night and even talking in her dreams, Beth woke up the next morning to an empty bed. Asher was gone but his presence still lingers on the bed. She let out a loud yawn before sliding out of bed and towards the bathroom to pee and get ready. It was still very early and Izzy is likely not to show up until later so giving herself a bath seem like something she would love to do without getting any more help unless it's to brush out her tangles.Grabbing the hair champion from the toiletry, she slipped into the bathtub after heating the water. Her whole body seem to hum in appreciation at the warm embrace of water against her skin as she let herself get soaked even more with a sigh.Izzy was surprised to find her ready and just waiting around for breakfast when she arrived at the Alpha bedchamber at her usual time."You didn't need my help I see" She said simply as she pr
Asher's POV.Sweaty, tired and relieved to be free from the kids, Asher returned to his room. All he wanted to do at that moment was to have a cold shower and just fall into bed, forgetting everything and everyone around him.To say his day was busy would be an understatement, it was packed. The surprise at seeing Beth on the fields with his Beta was still on his mind. He never expected to see her and what’s worse, she saw him playing with the kids.He could vividly remember the look of surprise on her face which quickly turned into a look of tenderness before it was replaced by her usual look of boredom. Now she would think him to be weak. He grumbled, walking along the hallways leading to his room.It was pretty late for anyone to still be up by this time. Asher glanced at the wall clock ticking at a far corner of the hallway. It was almost ten p.m which was considered late in the camp. Lights out were by nine p.m which was an hour ago.Asher got to his room soon, standing still at
The next morning, Asher woke up with a start. He had just had another nightmare and what’s worse, he couldn’t remember the contents of his dream. This was not the first nor second time it would be happening and each experience left Asher a miserable mess. He groaned, holding his head. A headache was approaching, he could feel it. This was not what he needed at the moment but Asher knew he just had to deal with it somehow.He sighed, rising up from his bed. That was when he noticed that Beth wasn’t in bed. A slight frisson of panic went through him as he thought about where she might possibly have gone.He stared at the room, trying to see if he could find a clue about her whereabouts but try as he may, there was nothing. It seemed like she had simply disappeared into space without leaving any clues behind.Asher began to panic as his mind thought about what could possibly have happened. The previous day was tension-filled and with the way she ran out of the room, Asher had a feeling
Beth’s POV.‘’What don’t you understand that I need to go out and do things for myself’’ Beth asked.No matter how hard she tries, she still can not understand why he is hell bent on keeping her locked up. She totally understand she is his prisoner but still, She didn’t want to stay holed up in the room without doing anything. At least not any longer.Asher was a difficult person, that much she knew but this was just borderline unreasonable on his part.‘’I don’t want you going out Elizabeth-’’‘’Beth, it's Beth. How many times do i have to tell you that?’’ she snapped.Asher was trying all he could to reign down on his temper but the more he tried, the more she riled him up. He didn’t know what to do to make her understand what he was trying to say. She failed to realize that danger abounds all around and because of her, he was starting to distrust her people which is something that has never happened before.If the council of elders so much as got her, she’ll be doomed. She also fai
Asher’s POV. Asher continued to grumble under his breath as he walked towards the fields where he knew Alex, his Beta would be. He needed to talk to someone, anyone who wasn’t Beth or he might just loose it and the only person he knew might be able to understand him none other than Alex. Another ungodly minute spent with that woman would have driven him but, he knew that much for a fact but never again would he allow her to get under his skin like that. Never again. He got to the fields and sure enough, Alex was at the far end, hacking on a piece of wood. He has already gathered some good amount at the corner, ready to build a huge fire if the need be but he doubt if he is going to stop any time soon unless he interrupt him. Asher walked towards him, wishing for a split second that their roles were reversed. Beth seemed to get along so well with him that at times, Asher wondered if something else was going on between them but then again, he has known Alex since they were just pups
Asher made his way out of the large set of buildings that housed some of the elders. There were some issues he had to deal with and now that he had dealt with them, he needed a long rest. "Greetings Alpha Asher.’’ a voice called at him, halting him as well.Asher turned and looked towards the direction of the voice and discovered that he was now staring at the last person he was expecting to see. Asher growled lightly under his breath as Elder Marcus continued to stride towards him. Asher doesn’t trust him and certainly does not want to have any form of personal discussion with him either."Greetings Elder Marcus” Asher said as politely as he could afford."How is the hunter’s daughter?’’ he asked and Asher raised a brow at him.Why was he asking? He wanted to ask him but had to hold back. It’s not that he cared, that much Asher knew. He was just trying to fish out information from him but if he thought he would feed him information about Elizabeth wellbeing so he can relate it to t
Beth’s POV.The next morning, Elizabeth woke up with a slight headache. The source of her headache was as a result of the mysterious dream she had overnight. To make matters worse, Beth had no idea where the dream originated from. It wasn’t clear to her and she had a hard time understanding what it truly meant.That woman was in her dream yet again demanding things from her she neither posses or could afford. Asher was in charge around whatever was happening between them. Nothing she says or does could change his attitude towards her. That she was aware of.She sighed, pulling herself into a siting position on the bed, her eyes darting around for Asher. She didn’t hear him come in last night and wondered if he even did at all. With no sign of the Alpha in sight, she let out a yawn, stretching her arms, just basking in the tranquility the early morning brought. Her mind went back to the dream once again, reflecting on her words once more before shaking her head slightly as though she
