“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
“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
