Alethea It's as if the ground beneath me should open up and swallow me whole. I can’t face her. I can’t tell Kayla I have a son, and I definitely can’t let her know that the child is Asher’s. The mere thought of Asher finding out sends a wave of fear crashing over me. If he knew, he would take my son away, wanting him to be part of the Redwood Pack. Worse, Maya would become his stepmother, and I’m certain she would be cruel to him, knowing I’m his mother. I can’t let that happen. I won’t let that happen.My mind races with these overwhelming thoughts, swirling emotions tightening their grip around me. The idea of Asher discovering the truth and taking my son fills me with dread. My hands become clammy, and soon, beads of sweat cover my entire body as the anxiety rises within me.I’m so lost in my thoughts that I don’t notice the world around me until I feel a gentle hand on my shoulder. Startled, I look up and meet Kayla’s concerned eyes, her gaze soft and full of worry."Are you
Alethea I can see the joy radiating from Alpha Asher, lighting up the room. I know I shouldn't dampen his happiness, but the fear gnaws at me, it is relentless and consuming. It's the fear of the unknown.As soon as he steps out of the room, I sink against the wall, my back pressing into its solid surface. My hand flies to my chest, trying to calm the wild thudding of my heart, but it feels like it’s about to burst free from my ribs. I know I shouldn’t feel this way about Alpha Asher, but the pull between us is undeniable, it's like a magnetic force I can’t resist or explain. It’s as if an invisible thread ties us together, drawing me closer to him with each moment.Yet, I have these ominous feelings within me. My gut clenches, warning me that something is about to happen, something that will turn my life upside down. But what is it? I have no clue, and that uncertainty makes my fear swell even more.As my thoughts spiral, I let my voice break through the silence. "Please, don't
Asher Today has to be the best fucking day of my life. I made love to Ally. I've dreamed of this moment countless times, imagining every detail, but nothing compares to the reality of it.Suddenly, the unmistakable voice of Liam echoes through the link, snapping me out of my reverie. "I'm right at your door," he says."What the fuck do you want?" I muttered, clenching my jaw. I know I need to protect Ally, especially after hearing those ridiculous things Liam said to her. There's no way I'm letting him near her now."What is it?" Ally asks, with her voice laced with panic as fear flashes in her eyes. She noticed my emotions too.I know she's worried. Her issues with Maya are not to be taken lightly. Beating up their Luna is a serious offense, one that could likely land her in isolation. But her heat took over, clouding everything else. We’ll have to face the fallout later."I'll meet you in my office," I say to Liam through the mind link, keeping my voice calm but firm. I can’t let
Alethea I let out a shaky breath as I felt his cock buried deep inside me while my back pressed against the wall. His lips crash against mine. The kiss is not gentle. It’s possessive, claiming that he’s marking me in a way no man ever could. His kiss feels like a firestorm, and I know it will burn me to ashes. But damn it, I crave the flames, even if they consume every piece of me. Every nerve in my body screams that I should stop this, push him away, fight back.Instead, I give in completely, gripping him tightly as he thrusts into me. Each movement is deliberate and powerful, hitting every spot that’s been neglected for far too long. My body responds eagerly, betraying every logical thought in my head. It’s almost absurd how just weeks ago, Amelia dared me to get laid, teasing me about my dry cunt. And now, here I am, in the arms of Alpha Asher, the very man I thought I’d never let close again, giving in to a passion I can’t control. “Alpha,” I moan, my voice trembling as
Alethea The feeling bubbling in me is raw and uncontrollable, like a storm ready to destroy everything. My anger boils over, the urge to lash out at Alpha Asher is so strong."What the hell, Ally?" he growls, stepping back as if trying to regain control. I take the opportunity to push myself up from the bed, my body trembling with adrenaline. "This," I say, pointing between us, "whatever this is, it can never be." I see his jaw tighten. "I know I came to you for help, but don’t get it twisted. I don’t want anything to do with you." He moves his hand to his head, gripping his hair in frustration. It’s like he’s fighting to contain whatever battle is raging inside him. I steady myself and force the words out. "There is nothing between us, Alpha Asher. You rejected me, remember?" I pause.In an instant, Alpha Asher closes the distance between us, as he grabs my shoulders. His eyes burn as he growls, "You are mine, Ally. We’re stuck together, remember that." I shake my head de
Alethea He stares at me with a smile. "No, Ally, I haven't hit my head," he says gently. "You seem to have mastered the act of building walls around your emotions."I stare at him in awe and disbelief. Are we seriously having a conversation right now? Sitting down and talking like two mature adults? This must be a dream, one I’m not sure I want to wake up from. "T...thanks," I mutter under my breath, barely able to process his words."Alpha Asher, I should go," I say quietly, trying to put some distance between us. "I don’t want to be the center of gossip in your pack." I pull the hem of the oversized shirt down, hoping it makes me feel more presentable. I take slow steps, I inch toward the door, trying to maintain some semblance of control.I can feel his gaze on me, every fiber of my being screaming at me to turn back, but I resist. I can't allow myself to fall deeper into this."Wait," his voice calls out. I hear him move closer. "Stay, just for a while, until you’re completely
