Asher wished there was something he could do to ease the pain Beth was feeling. She felt weak, tired and spent. He glanced at Eva, hoping for some sort of explanation on why this delivery was taking longer than expected. He couldn’t catch her eye because she was so focused on making sure Elizabeth delivers the baby all well and good. What he wanted to say was something he couldn’t voice out because he didn’t want Elizabeth to hear it. Asher couldn’t deny the fact that he was getting scared. He wasn’t expecting any of this and he really wished that there was no problem. This was getting too long and even though he had no knowledge about birth deliveries and all, he knew that this was getting too damn long. For the first time since his wife died, he was feeling scared. That gut feeling fear that makes him want to scream into the night. He hadn’t felt this scared in a very long time. It just seemed like a cloak of fear covered every part of him and took a strong hold in his heart. As
“it’s a boy…oh my God, Asher. It’s a boy. You have a son” Eva cried even more as he took hold of the crying infant before wrapping him up in a towel before handing him to Asher.While Asher took hold of the baby, Elizabeth dozed off with exhaustion. Everything that took place right after that moment she gave birth, she had no idea as she was completely passed out.More minutes went by before Elizabeth fluttered her eyes open as she tried to get used to the bright light that filled the room. Even from where she lay, she realized she had been transferred to another room. A much bigger room than the one she had delivered in.Beth closed her eyes for another minute, just breathing in the warm, fresh air that cascaded around the open windows. She noticed her pain was gone and she could finally breathe again and then it hit her.Her child.She hasn’t seen her child yet.“My child” She croaked out loud as she struggled to get out of bed and go in search of him, thinking the very worst only t
Asher continued to watch the exchange between mother and son with hitched breath. That moment was something he never imagined. The Alpha couldn’t believe how much fate had played with him, up until that point. The children he had always wanted was with his late wife. Lot of them and they were really going to have them. Not once did he ever imagined it would be with someone else, much less a Lincoln bloodline. And now he does and it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. The way Elizabeth held him protectively against her chest, just seemed like the baby was the only thing that mattered to her and he could totally understand it. Even before she delivered, she had told him times without number that she would protect the child with everything she had and so far, Asher had seen the look of determination and devotion in her eyes which could only be found in a mother that truly loves her child. Elizabeth was a fierce woman with an air of energy around her that was easily noticeab
While Beth and the baby stayed back at the clinic, Asher went back home more troubled than ever before. He wasn’t troubled about the delivery but about the way forward. He couldn’t deny the fact that, now that she is delivered, it would be a matter of time before the council of elders get wind of the news as well.Asher had no doubt in his mind that they will call him for a meeting soon and that was one thing he was dreading. He has no intention to go neither does he intend to carry out their plans. There is no way he is going to separate Elizabeth from their son. How he ever told he could do it before was still beyond him. Rage and his quest for revenge had mostly blinded him but now, not anymore.Elizabeth didn’t deserve for any single hair on her body to be touched and if anyone dares try to get even an inch close to hurting them, then he’d show them exactly why he is the demon Alpha.As he made the short journey back to his quarters, his mind was filled with torment and distress.
After he Alex left, Asher walked back into the room to arrange some things he might be taking back to the clinic later that evening. Eva had given him list of things Elizabeth might be needing and Asher wanted to arrange them as soon as possible.Once he had finished arranging, Asher realized she didn’t have enough clothes and now that she has delivered, it would be better if he got her a few more as well as the baby. He quick retrieved his phone and sent a message to someone to have the items he needed delivered by morning.Asher knew showering her with gifts and affection would never make up for the things he did to her but he can only hope. Having her love and adore their little boy even though he was practically forced on her just seem to warm his heart in way unimaginable.Too think that after everything, she would still care for his flesh and blood as though it was the best thing that ever happened to her. It made him only questioned himself on why he ever treated her the way he
Asher was still standing by the corner when Elizabeth looked back and saw him, immediately she felt uneasy. “It’s okay, Elizabeth. Please don’t stop. I mean I can leave if you don’t want me here”“What? No, no…don’t go. Just stay if you want to. I mean, I’m not stopping because of you. He is already asleep and want to place him back in his cradle” Asher place the duffel bag he came with among her other belongings in the room before walking to her bed side. He leaned towards them, a nervous smile on his face. “Let me carry him. You don’t have to get up” He offered and she nodded before she kissed him softly on the forehead before giving him to Asher. Asher moved just as carefully, taking little steps towards his cradle before placing him delicately into it. “You are acting as if he is going to fall off and break” Elizabeth teased with a chuckle. Asher let out a shaky breath, running his fingers through his hair and messing it all up again. “He is so small and fragile and whenever
“I don’t know. Someone must have told them and it’s not me and I doubt it’s Alex” Asher said with a confused brow. He walked over to the window and looked outside, a low growl erupting his mouth as well. The celebration were getting louder and he knew it only a matter of time before the news travels all around. The woman were probably happy the curse had been lifted and now they too can look forward to having their own babies without fear of being barren. Asher was more furious at the situation than ever before. He realized whatever he wanted to do has to be done sooner than later. Now that her news was out, the elders would be looking for a meeting soon. The highest he is likely to get is a week and that would barely be enough. “We are in danger ain’t we?” Elizabeth asked quietly, her voice filled with dread and sadness and Asher quickly rushed to her side, seeing the tears form in her eyes. Cupping both her cheeks in his hands, he peered down at her intently, “I’m not going to
The sound of jubilation and singing had since being stopped as Elizabeth lay on the bed waiting for Asher to return and explained what had happened. She let her eyes clenched shut for a moment just thinking about the conversation she had with Asher last night.She knew Asher did what he did to her in anger for his wife's death but still she can’t get the image of him hurting her over and over again out of her memory. Maybe she has no feeling of hate towards him anymore but that doesn’t mean she is about to see him as anything else.As long as he is still hell bent on keeping her captive, she would always yearn to be free. Elizabeth hates to think her life was still in danger even though Asher already assured her she won’t be executed.The only time she would feel whole again is if she was allowed to go back home and so far even though too is not going to be possible.Another minute passed before the door burst open and Elizabeth turned to find two mask men walked in, each holding a
