Beth's POV It’s been an hour since Asher left. Elizabeth knew sulking would do her no good so instead, she spent it busying herself with reading even though the thought of Asher kept invading her mind every second.She only had breakfast after Izzy help her with a bath and even braided her hair before leaving to carry on with her duty around the pack. Beth was still seating by the sofa when Asher walked in, looking worst than he left.He came to a stop when he noticed her just seating there and she looked up to face him briefly before her eyes darted towards the floor. Not sure she wanted to hear what he has to say to her this time, she can very much see the expression on his face.It’s obvious, he either had a bad day or still upset about what happened between them even though it was not her fault.From her peripheral, she could see him shift his weight from one feet to the next before she heard his voice called at her.“Hey” Asher said.She heard him loud and clear but kept acting
Asher POV.“Asher, we need to talk”Asher by passed him further and grab a shirt before turning to face his Beta.“Not now, Alex. We can talk later”Alex was about to insist but the look on Asher’s face told him not to even think about it, forcing him to swallow back with a nod.“I will see you later then”Alex walked out the door with a quick glance at Beth while Asher continued to get dress. Once he was done. He walk passed her and out the door, leaving her there to stare right after him.Asher hated to be question and he doesn’t know what gave her the dumb idea to doubt his ability to fish out the traitors in his pack like that. If only she knew the state he had left the men who wanted her death in.Their death didn’t bother him. He was more concerned with the fact that they refused to let out the name of their leader and as long as he remind hidden among them, he knew they will be more attempt on her life.Protecting her won’t be a problem. He can lock her up if he must but gettin
Beth POV.It was already dark into the night and Asher was still yet to return to the room. Beth sat by the sofa wondering if the Alpha was going to avoid her forever or return eventually. Even though she wanted him gone, she still couldn’t help but crave his presence in the room. She glance at the clock and sighed before getting up on her feet before making her way over to the bed.She crawled into bed and lay under the sheet, his scent immediately hitting her nose hard. She took a deep breath of it before exhaling slowly. She doesn’t know why but his aroma tend to calm the child within her whenever it was feeling restless.Minutes turned into hours as she lay there awake before she closed her eyes and was lured into a sound sleep with his pillow tucked into her arms.The next morning, She woke up and realized that Asher didn’t show up that night as the room was still the same way she last saw it last night and more so, his side of bed was still empty.She was saddened by this and ha
“And what do we have here?” She ask with that irritation in her voice still.Beth said nothing while her companion quickly relied the shewolf.“Hello, Kara” Izzy said respectfully.Elizabeth remained quiet, not bothering to say anything to reply her. If there was one person she detested with a passion, it was Kara.She noticed her presence really close and she was forced to look up and face her. “Hey hunter’s girl” She said with a chuckled before correcting herself. “pardon me, I mean, Elizabeth. The Alpha told me personally to call you that”Beth doesn’t know if she was telling the truth or not but the fact that she was calling her by that name then the chances of it coming from Asher is right there.And that usual look of hatred in her eyes is now replaced with something devious and Beth couldn’t help but feel that there was something Kara knew that she didn’t and that left her feeling somewhat uncomfortable especially if it has to do with Asher.She doesn’t know why the thought bo
Asher’s POV. Asher pushed the door to his room open, steeping in to find Elizabeth and Izzy talking before they went absolutely silent when they saw him. Without being told, he knew he was their topic of discussion. Asher could clearly see the pain and sadness in her eyes even though she was barely making eye contact with him. “Hello” Asher said to Elizabeth before turning to acknowledge Izzy with a nod. “Greeting Alpha” Izzy said respectfully before rising up to her feet with a slight bow at his direction. “Beth, I'll see you tomorrow. Please take care of yourself” Izzy said, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. “Thank you” Elizabeth smiled. She shut the door gently behind her, leaving the duo. Elizabeth sighed, getting up on her feet before walking towards her closet to change and probably shower as well. Asher watched her try to shrug her jacket off and decided to help when it got entangled with her hair but before he could reach out a hand to touch her, she yelled at him. “
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
