Arabella's POVI was taken aback by Gary's sudden tone and appearance. Alpha Asher and I exchanged a worried glance before turning our attention to Gary."What's going on, Gary?" Asher asked, his voice filled with authority and concern.Gary took a moment to catch his breath before responding, his eyes darting around the room as if searching for outsiders. "There's trouble coming, Alpha. There is a group of wolves heading toward this place, and they mean business. If we don't want to get caught up in it, we should leave immediately."I felt a shiver run down my spine as the gravity of his words sunk in. We had just found a moment of peace and now, it seemed like that peace was about to be shattered."Who are these people, Gary? Why are they coming here? And for who?" Asher asked.Gary's gaze met mine, and I could see the truth in his eyes. "I don't have all the details yet, but we have to leave." He said to Asher and mouthed "Nick," to me when Asher wasn't looking."Since they are not
Arabella's POVI paused in my tracks, feeling a mix of confusion and irritation at her remark. "Temporary Luna? What do you mean by that?" I asked, trying to maintain a polite tone despite my growing unease.The woman's smile widened, and her eyes seemed to scrutinize me as she looked at me from top to bottom. "Oh, I apologize if I startled you. It's just that, well, Asher has never brought anyone here before. Most times it was to the pack house and they often left a few weeks later too…""Ava. Enough!” Rico yelled at the woman but she didn't stop."You see, I'm his sister, Ava," she said, walking to me and extending her hand in a friendly gesture. "Join us for breakfast."Relieved to know her identity, I shook her hand and managed a small smile. "Nice to meet you, Ava. I'm Arabella. His mate."Ava raised an eyebrow, her smile never fading. "I see. Well, it's just that he's never introduced any woman as his mate before. Our pack is very traditional, and we're all curious about what th
Arabella's POVMy heart raced as I heard Ava's words. My grip on the sink tightened, and I tried to control my breathing, not wanting to make a sound. She couldn't be talking about me, could she? I leaned in slightly to listen more carefully, hoping to catch any more information."He's been so focused on her. I think he's trying to stabilize his position," Ava continued, her tone filled with frustration. "I'll do whatever I can and once I'm in control, I'll deal with that Arabella girl. Then I'll find a more suitable way for Asher to leave."My hands trembled, and I clasped them together to steady myself. Her words sank in, and my mind raced with fear and disbelief. Why would she want to harm me? I barely knew her, and I certainly hadn't done anything to her or her family.Trying to process what I just overheard, I took a deep breath and tried to remain calm. There was no doubt that I needed to tell Asher about this immediately. He had a right to know what his sister was planning, eve
Arabella's POVAs I rocked harder on him, I felt a rock member, poking me from behind.I didn't stop moving and slowly, his hands reached under the top I wore, cupping my breasts.His touch sent electricity coursing through my body and I gasped and he played with my erect buds."Asher please," I moaned. "You're making me…" I could not complete my statement as I felt his lips on my neck, kissing, sucking, and biting.His tongue made me crave him more so I curled my toes and rubbed my thighs together, trying to calm the growing needy feeling in between my legs.Still kissing me, I reached back with my hands, pushing his head closer to me, gasping as his hands went further into my legs.Unable to control my hunger, I opened up to him while he caressed my inner thighs and more. As his thoughts became more intense, a moan escaped my lips as he flicked and played with my clit, teasing my entrance with his wet fingers. "Asher ahh," I moaned, wanting him to do more but he just growled in re
Arabella's POVI was taken aback by Ava's presence in my room, but I quickly composed myself and closed the door behind me. "Ava, what are you doing here? Is something wrong?" I asked, concerned and shocked."Looks like you and Asher had quite a night," she teased and I smiled in embarrassment, still trying to think of what she was here for."Yeah…" I answered, still staring at her. "Is something wrong?"Ava looked at me with a serious expression on her face. "No, nothing is wrong, but there's something I need to discuss with you," she replied, patting the spot beside her on the bed, and inviting me to sit down.Curious and slightly apprehensive, I took a seat next to her. "Alright, go ahead. What is it that you want to talk about?"She took a deep breath before continuing, "It's about your role as the future Luna, Arabella. With everything that's been happening, I think it's time we have a serious conversation about your responsibilities and what lies ahead for you as Asher's mate."
Bella's POV It felt like the world paused. I did not know what my fate was going to be and I did not want to look stupid asking Asher that question.Was I taking things too fast? I really couldn't say.I awkwardly stood there waiting for a reply. Are we going to do it? What is going to be my fate?"I do not really understand… could you repeat yourself again?" Asher looked me in the eye and smiled. He has now widened to see blue eyes and was staring at me in a funny way. I couldn't be more embarrassed. My cheeks were now moments away from turning blood red."You know.. I was just thinking… I don't know if ….what would you…oh goodness," I bit down on my lower lip. I was becoming too shy and I could feel the air in my lungs being stagnant."Come on, go ahead, say what is on your mind I won't bite, I promise."I watched Asher brighten up. He even gave me giggle. "I want to hear what's on your mind"I took a few deep breaths and gather the courage I had kept in myself from last month."You
I felt the tightness in my gut worsen. I could barely breathe. My chest rose and fell fast as my heart thudded twice as fast. I was scared. What was Asher going to do to me?"Asher. Like I said before, it's too early to be doing this. I think I'd like to take things slowly" my eyes started to waive. My fingers were also shaking."Nonsense!" Asher yelled. "Why would you think of that?!" He seemed upset at me. I felt my shoulders shrinking in. I was scared.Besides, I was aroused. His tempting lips and the distance between us wasnt helping matters at all. I tried to push him off me but my hands felt weak. I felt breathless."Please… alpha.." my voice faded.He waited for me to say something else but I was voiceless. I couldn't breathe not to mention utter a word. He was doing something to me.Asher must have taken my silence as a confirmation of his go ahead. He wasted no time in acting. Before I could blink, I saw Asher coming down on me.His grip on my waist tightened as his other ha
Bella's POV I stiffened. The sound of Asher's voice outside my door made me freeze. It was likely that he was there to finish off what he started."Asher please.. "A bang on the door jolted my memory. Claire looked horrified. She had no idea what had transpired between the alpha and me who was standing in front of her."Arabella, whats going on?" Claire whispered, "what have you done?!"I got on my knees. " Nothing.""Then why is the alpha banging at our door? Surely, you must have done something. Tell me"I got on all fours as I began to crawl to her."Claire, I did nothing. Keep your voice down"Claire couldn't hear me."Arabella, open this door. Don't force my hand. Come out" Asher shouted from outside. It seemed their whisper wasn't helping. He could still hear them."You have to let the alpha in. He is the leader after all. Let open the door, please" Claire begged. I could see terror in he eyes. She was still scared too, who wouldn't be? He was the alpha after all."Arabella!"
