Alex's eyes moved from her face and down to the bag clutched between her hand and immediately, he understood what Elizabeth was trying to do. He wasn’t surprised by this because of what she had gone through in the hands of Asher. This was her chance to escape and he knew he couldn’t blame her one bit if she tried.But he made a promise to keep her safe and he was not about to give up on that just yet.“Can I come in?” He asked her as he took a step further into the room and she hesitated for a moment before she let out a sigh and nodded.“You won’t let me go, would you?” “I’m sorry but I can’t let you risk your life and that of the baby like that. It’s too dangerous out there and your best shot is to stay here until Asher returns”She couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh as she let the bag fell to the floor beside her feet with a thud.“I can’t stay here, Alex. Did you see what happened at the clinic today? My son was almost killed and now Asher is gone. Who knows when you will b
A week went by and Asher still hadn’t returned. Elizabeth didn’t want to be worried based on what Alex had said but at times, that worry seemed to creep out without her even thinking about him. She couldn’t deny the fact that she had a special connection with him. It had been there all along even though she had been too stubborn to acknowledge it. Elizabeth liked him and now, it was leaning dangerously towards love but she still didn’t know how to bridge the feeling that had suddenly come upon her. She missed his presence here. Not a day passes without her thinking about him. Eva had also noticed how much Elizabeth missed him and was forced to comment on it. It had been during one of their discussion that she had brought up the subject of Asher. “You do miss him right?” She asked. Elizabeth didn’t know whether to bare her feelings to her but thinking about it now, she realized that she could. Eva had been like a mother to her for a while now and she knew she could trust her and so
“My childhood?” Alex answered with a nod, “How was growing up like for you, living with your parent” “I don’t remember very much but we lived happily before my mom died and my childhood ended” Elizabeth said simply with a shrug. “So your father stopped treating you nicely after your Mom died?” She gave a curt nod. “He acted as if I was adopted and then wanted nothing to do with me again hence his reason for shipping me off to that boarding school even before I was of the legal age” Alex had a thoughtful look in his eyes as he tried to digest the information she had given. “was there anything unusual from your past that you still remember?” She was quiet for a moment as she rake her brain for something. “I’m not sure but they used to be this strange man that come around to see us. I can’t even remember what he looks like but he used to bring me gifts and his eyes were exactly like mine” Elizabeth said spouting a smile at the memory. Alex thought about what she had said for sev
Alex and Beth walked towards the grand hall with her emotions spilling all over the place. She didn’t know what to expect especially when it came down to the elders. Those bunch always have a way of leaving her stomach in a twist. It’s even worst that Asher is not there but Alex had assured her of his protection and all she could do at that point was trust that things would turn out well. It has to turn out well. For the sake of her baby, she has to get through their interrogation alive and go home. It took more than convincing for her to actually agreed for Izzy to watch him while they left. It was either that or carry the baby along and bringing her child anywhere close to those bloody monsters is something she would never do, instead, she had to trust Izzy to watch him with the full assurance that nothing would happened to her son while she is away. Just as they were about to walk in, Alex stopped abruptly. Beth has no idea what he was doing but she could tell he was sniffing t
Alex and Beth were both shocked to hear the Elders offer. She could only stare in disbelief at the faces before her.Elizabeth knew they were desperate but she never thought it would reach this extent of dethroning Asher as Alpha all in a bit to get to her.Was that how tasty they are for her blood? She wondered in her mind as she continued to wait anxiously to hear Alex response.So far, he hasn’t said a word causing her to wonder if he would even say no. Anyone in his shoes will want to become the Alpha of such a big and great pack.She continued to wonder in silence as she peered up at Alex as though she wanted to force words out of his mouth already."Think about it Alexandra, close your eyes and imagine seating on the throne, you don't have to wait for anyone's order, you can make whatever you want and whatever you say stands, all the people will be bowing down to you, think about such huge offer Alexandra." He said again."Why are you not saying anything, just hand her over to u
“I will leave if you want me to but I just need you to know how I truly feels. I do love you and that’s no jokes” Alex said once again with desperation.Elizabeth only stared at him in shock as memory from their conversation start to flood back to her mind. Alex had hinted about being in love with someone else, hence his reason for not considering Izzy.Not once did she imagined the person he was in love with to be her. It’s true he had always being nice and caring towards her but never did it occur to her that she was the one he wanted to claim.The thought of being claimed by him simply gives her the chills as she couldn’t help but put more distance between them.“Please say something, Beth. Would you give me a chance?” He asked quietly. His eyes filled with hope as he stares back at her.“I’m sorry but i only see you as a friend and a brother, nothing more." Elizabeth said, shaking her head."please listen to me, I know, all of these might sounds awkward but I don't care. I’ve alwa
The next day came sooner than expected and it was another glorious morning.Beth's eyelids decided to part ways as they flutter open. She let out a yawn and sat up on the bed. Her eyes went to her baby that lay beside her sleeping peacefully. She smiled at the little infant before placing a gentle kiss to his cheek affectionately. Her eyes beheld so much affection for him. Each day that passes she falls deeper in love with him. So much so that it hurt her to think she couldn’t get them both out of there.Elizabeth dream of a better life for her son. A life that was free of all the hate and pain that came with the being in a pack as such as that."I cherish you a lot, Sam. I promise not to let anyone hurt you. Not even your father when he comes back" She thought silently stroking his hair. Even though she hates to admit it, she still can’t help but think about Asher. There was something about having him around that she misses. Was it his sheer dominance or the fact that she can easi
Beth was on her way back to her room with her baby in arm when she notice someone standing in her way. It was Kara blocking her way.She tried by passing her but Kara blocked her again causing her to groan in annoyance."What do you want now? Why are you blocking my path?" Beth asked trying to be as calm as possible."What do I want you say? Are you really that naïve or just plain stupid" Kara retorted and Beth was shocked. "You know? I can tell you are having a really bad day and probably looking for who to vent to but I’m sorry to announce it to you but you are talking to the wrong person, Kara. So leave me alone and get out of my way" Beth said, trying to control herself. Her baby was very much asleep and doesn’t have the strength to wait around and waste time with someone like Kara."Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Beth looked at her with confusion written all over her face. What in the world is she up about right now?"What are you talking about? What should I be ashamed of
