Maya's pov I was disturbed when Asher woke up really early and kissed me good morning on my forehead before leaving the room. The sun wasn't even out yet, the room was still a bit dim and the Asher I had grown used to loved his morning sleep. He hated it when the sun rays had made their way into his room and reflected on his face while he was sleeping. He would be grumpy throughout that morning because the sun interrupted his sleep. So to have him wide awake and bubbly with energy this early morning was quite disturbing and weird because I didn't wake him up, he woke up himself! I didn't fret though, I just smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek too before he left the room to do whatever God knows what while I went back to sleep. The past few days with him had been beautiful, fun and quite different from the first times we had. This time, it was better. Asher gave me more attention, said cheesy and sweet words that made me cringe and laugh sometimes. He randomly hugged or k
Maya's pov The all lovey-dovey period ended and now it was time for another business much to my dismay. One would think after that super lovely and romantic moment I had with Asher this morning, we'd be on a cruise ship, basking away in the Don Massimo Torricelli and Laura Biel kind of way but no, here we are in the royal pack, him gloving me up while I prep for my fight lessons….not like I'm complaining though. Well, I was pretty sure both Asher and Edna conspired to kill me because only they could come up with such an idea. Daniel, oh sweet Daniel. He would never be involved in such brutality. Yeah, I said I wanted to train but this was fifteen levels ahead of what was supposed to be a beginner class. After Edna told me everything that happened between Asher and Agatha, it dawned on me that there was no befriending. She was a low-key sworn enemy and I have no problem with that. My issue was with the fact that she always paired with me whenever we trained. And I feared because s
Maya’s POV The jets of warm water cascading from the ceiling immediately relaxed my muscles and made me feel better afterwards. The first time I was introduced to this shower, I was terrified. I had turned the shower knob only to find water falling from the ceiling and covering a larger surface area than I was used to. I was already used it it anyway. The thing was that while I was in the shower, I thought that I had heard something or someone come into my room. I had to turn off the shower and tune into my werewolf hearing to try to find out of what I thought was what it was or if it was just a figment of my imagination. I shuddered as my mind went back to the nightmares I sometimes had, causing me to wake up at the middle of the night. That was the reason Asher usually took a sleeping position beside me, to prevent the nightmares, and it always worked. Through the double sliding doors, I saw a blur of a shadow pass by. Immediately, I wrapped my towel around my person and opened t
Asher's pov We got back from the amusement park and arrived at the house. "Thanks for taking me out Asher, it was really nice and I really loved it. '' Maya told me with a smile and held my hands, swinging them left and right. It was obvious she was bubbling with excitement and happiness from all the fun she had at the amusement park with me. I was going to give her more and shower her with more love if It was going to give me a chance to see her happy and excited all the time because a happy Maya was a happy Asher. It felt like my mood was linked to hers and whatever she felt was what I was bound to also feel too. I freed one of my hands from hers and gently stroked her face while she leaned in "you shouldn't be thanking me Maya, you deserve it and you're entitled to anything you want here" I told her and she nodded before she gave me a hug "still, I'll show you I loved it" she replied and gave me a peck then released me from her hug "I still have a surprise for you" I told her and
Maya's pov I've always loved the night, the silence and the darkness around me always gave me peace. It gave me time to heal from the day's pain and strength to go through the next day's hustle and torture—it was the time I had to heal. But this might have felt even more magical than any night I've sat and travailed through. Because I wasn't preparing to heal from the day's torture, I was ending the day with more bliss after so much fun and enjoyment, sitting on this empty rooftop terrace with my Alpha king. We talked through most of the night, sharing thoughts and visions, and fantasies. I've gotten to know him a little better and the more we talked, the more I fell more and more in love with him. He was deep, thoughtful, and attentive, especially during that time in the restaurant when I had basically no idea what food was planted on our table. It amused me how he gently took his time to narrate them to me and made me fall in love with the delicacies. And so I found myself lean
Alpha Asher’s POV. I walked over to the Beta’s office to speak to Daniel. Edna was just like a sister to me and matters that included her life were important to mine too. Her parents died right before my eyes and entrusted me to care for her until I died. I owed her some happiness at least, and I know how much one’s mate can bring a lot of happiness to them. I mean, look at my perfect mate, Maya. If Edna wanted to have her mate with her, she deserved to, but still, I needed Killian to take part in some of the work that needed to be done. As my spy, he had to stay at the Blood moon’s pack and give me information regarding the Blood moon pack and its members and if he came back, there was a possibility that the evil pack alpha would somehow be able to do something evil, especially to my pack and I would not be able to stop it. But first of all, I felt like I needed to talk it all out with my beta and best friend first. And so that was why I was headed to his office to have a conversa
Asher’s POV I walked straight to Edna’s room to deliver Killian’s greetings to her, but then when I knocked, she did not answer immediately. I knocked three more times before she came to the door and opened it, and she did not look very happy. Like she had been stuck here, just being moody all day. “What‘a wrong, Edna?” I asked her, worry etched all over my face. She looked up at me with a smile. “Oh, it’s alright actually, Asher. I just got up from the bed now, I was asleep.” That smile was obviously fake, and what she told me was obviously a lie, and her face told me that she obviously knew that I would not fall for that kind of thing, but then her face was also pleading for me to not ask any more questions lest she teared up again, so then I left it at that with a sigh. I knew all that because I trained her, she grew up with me, and so I could read her like an open book. “ I came to speak to you.” I said, letting myself in and shutting the door behind us. The. I perched on h
Asher's pov A knock on my office door made me look up from the paperwork I was supposed to be doing but couldn't because I had too many things on my mind. Maya, stood at the threshold, poking just her head through the slightly opened door while the remaining of her body stayed outside. "He looks so sexy wearing glasses" I heard our thoughts through our bond. Even though I haven't marked her, the traditional way, our mate bond was strong enough to communicate if we are close enough. "Thank you. And you look extremely sexy in those booty shorts of yours" Her cheeks went aflame with hues of bright colors while her mouth stayed open for a while in a how-did-you-fucking-heard kind of way. "Mate bond" I simply replied before going back to what I was doing. She nodded and walked closer to me and sat on my lap. Her Auburn-colored hair was tied up into a loosened ' ponytail. She suddenly turned to do that she was straddling me, her neck buried in the crook of my neck and her leg at either
