The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 17: Her Struggles
Elena’s Pain Agony—just one word captured the overwhelming feelings that had consumed Elena ever since her parents abandoned her in this place. No one showed her kindness, and it seemed as if no one ever wanted to. But what hurt the most wasn’t just the isolation—it was the painful realization of being unwanted, insignificant. A voice echoed in her ears, calling her name over and over. Yet, all she could see was Connor approaching, causing her breath to hitch in terror. Panic surged through her, and she instinctively clapped her hands over her ears, desperate to block out his voice. Tears spilled down her cheeks, burning her skin as they fell. The world around her blurred into nothingness, leaving only Connor and the suffocating weight of fear. Trapped in a spiral of panic, she found herself lost in a realm she knew too well—a place where terror ruled, and escape felt impossible. Suddenly, warmth pressed against her skin, snapping her back to reality. Asher’s hands cradled her

She swallowed, trying to steady herself. "Asher..." she murmured, voice barely above a whisper. His jaw clenched. He was staring straight ahead, but his grip on her tightened as if anchoring himself. "I should kill him." "Asher—" "I should rip him apart," he seethed. "Every single time he touched you, every time he hurt you—he should have known it wouldn't last forever. That one day, you'd be free. That one day, he'd have to answer for it." Elena's breath hitched. She knew he meant every word. The promise in his voice sent a shiver down her spine—not of fear, but of something else. Something dangerously close to relief. To hope. "Asher, listen to me," she urged, pressing a hand against his chest. "You can't—" "Don't tell me I can't," he growled. "After everything he's done to you? After—" He exhaled sharply, cutting himself off, fists clenched. "You shouldn't have had to go through that. I would’ve stopped it. I should’ve stopped it." Guilt bled into his fury, twisting h

Next2 Blood dripped from her split lip, trickling down her chin. Dizziness clouded her vision, making it hard to focus. Her eyes swelled from the relentless assault. Lena... Elena clung to the presence of her wolf, but the pain was overwhelming, drowning out everything else. "You really thought you could get away with it?" Emerson's voice was low, filled with amusement. "Pathetic," Harris muttered, standing over her. "She’s not even fighting back." "She knows she can’t win," Connor added, a smirk playing on his lips. "Please," Elena gasped, her voice barely a whisper. She wasn’t even sure what she was begging for. Mercy? A chance to explain? Harris laughed. "Hear that? She’s already begging." "Should’ve thought of that before sneaking food like some starving stray," Emerson said coldly. "That’s exactly what she is," Connor sneered. "A worthless, starving stray." Another kick. Another sharp jolt of pain. "Elena, don’t cry," Lena urged. "Don’t show weakness. They wa

"You do realize that bubbles are meant for little kids, right?" Her mother’s voice carried a hint of disapproval as she watched the entire bottle of shampoo empty into the bathtub. "But I am a little kid," she mumbled softly. There was something different about her mother today. She seemed... sad. A faint, forced smile appeared on her mother’s face before she moved closer, kneeling by the bathtub. Gentle fingers threaded through her hair, massaging the shampoo into her scalp. "One day, little girls have to grow up," her mother murmured. "And when that day comes, they have to learn to do things by themselves." She absorbed every word, holding onto them, puzzled by the way her mother had said her full name. "Especially if something ever happens to their parents." That made her turn abruptly, eyes locking onto her mother’s face. A deep sigh escaped her mother’s lips, yet she didn’t meet her gaze. "Don’t be silly, Mom. You and Dad are going to be here forever." A laugh bubb

But the worst part? Asher had left. He had heard her past, listened to everything she had been through… and walked away. A sudden pounding on her door shattered the quiet. "Elena, for fuck’s sake—if you don’t answer me, I’m coming in," Asher’s voice growled through the barrier between them. The doorknob rattled. Her heart lurched. The shower shut off with a quick twist of her fingers. "S-sorry, I—I didn’t hear you." She scrambled out, wrapping a towel around herself. Through the door, she heard him exhale, the sound heavy with relief. "Alright. Just… come out when you're done. We need to talk." This was it. She had dreaded this moment for two days, knowing exactly what was coming. He was going to reject her. She just knew it. Muttering a quiet acknowledgment, she hurried to dress. Undergarments first, then her black tights, and finally the oversized gray hoodie—her father’s hoodie. The familiar fabric wrapped around her like a memory, and her chest ached. Get a gri

"You mean a lot to me too," she admitted, her voice soft, uncertain. He let out a shaky breath, relief flashing in his eyes. "Then tell me how to fix this. Tell me how to make it up to you." She wanted to tell him that he had already done enough—that just hearing him say these things was more than she ever thought she’d get. But she also knew that words weren’t always enough. She needed actions. She needed proof that he wouldn’t walk away again. "Stay," she said finally. "Just... stay." His hands trailed down to hers, fingers intertwining. "I’m not going anywhere." For the first time in what felt like forever, she felt seen. She wasn’t just some useless, fragile girl. He truly cared—about her, about how she felt. And that alone made her heart ache. Why did he care so much? Why did it matter to him?The thought of it was overwhelming. "Elena," he pressed, his voice lower, rougher now. "Did someone hurt you while I was gone?" A growl rumbled from deep within his chest as h

Asher’s Past "Asher, come here." Kade’s deep voice echoed down the hallway. Something about his tone seemed off. Was he angry? Curious, Asher moved toward him. "Yes, Kad—" The words stuck in his throat. His feet stopped mid-step. Confusion clouded his mind. Kade, his cousin, who was ten years older than Asher’s eight-year-old self, stood there with his fist raised high. On the floor, a small girl trembled. One of her eyes was swollen, dark purple bruising the delicate skin. It looked painful, unbearably so. She whimpered softly, and Asher felt a heavy weight settle in his chest. Maybe they had been playing, and she fell? Maybe Kade wanted him to help her up? Asher took a step forward, reaching out—but before he could, Kade’s fist came down, striking the girl’s face. A sharp, piercing scream shattered the air. Asher froze, his eyes widening in horror. Blood trickled from the girl's lip, bright red against her pale skin. Footsteps suddenly echoed behind him, and just like tha

Killing them would bring satisfaction. But torture? That would be far more rewarding.“Alpha?” A guard stepped forward, his voice uncertain. “Do you need something?”Asher didn’t stop. He didn’t even look at him. “Open the cells.”The guard hesitated. “Alpha, are you sure? The prisoners—”“I didn’t ask for your opinion. Open the damn cells.”The guard swallowed hard but nodded. He hurried ahead, unlocking the heavy iron doors. The moment they creaked open, the stench of sweat and blood filled Asher’s lungs. It only fueled his rage.Inside, Connor and his men sat slumped against the cold walls, wrists bound, faces bruised and swollen from earlier beatings. Connor looked up, his split lip curling into a smirk.“Well, well. The mighty Alpha finally decided to visit.” His voice was hoarse, but laced with arrogance. “Did your little mate cry to you?”Asher moved so fast, Connor didn’t even have time to flinch. His hand wrapped around the bastard’s throat, lifting him effortlessly.“You thi

But her gaze was elsewhere—forward, fixed.She wasn’t done.“Bring them back,” she said suddenly.Ashe

…She’d chosen mercy.And it hadn’t broken her.It had saved her.Elena turned back just as the guards began pulling Connor away, metal cuffs biting into his wrists.“Wait.”Her voice, though quiet, cut through the air like a blade.The guards froze.Connor didn’t lift his head.Asher’s brow furrowed. “Elena?”She stepped forward, her spine straight, her shoulders high. “Don’t lock him back in the dark.”“Elena,” Asher growled, stepping closer, his arm sliding protectively in front of her. “He doesn’t get a choice. He *doesn’t* get comfort.”“He’s not asking for comfort,” she replied. “He didn’t ask for anything.”“He’s a traitor,” Asher snapped. “A criminal. And *you*—you’re the one he nearly destroyed.”“I know,” she whispered.The air between them thickened.Elena turned, meeting the eyes of the guards. “Set him in a monitored cell. One with light. Give him a blanket. Let Vivian sit with him if she chooses.”“You don’t understand what you’re asking,” Asher said, voice low, taut with

…And this time, she was free.The sound of another cell door creaking open shattered the silence.Gasps echoed through the hallway.Elena turned just in time to see guards scrambling down the corridor. One of them barked into a comm-link. “Breach in Cell Block B!”Asher’s head snapped up. “What the hell—?”They rushed toward the second chamber.A small crowd had already gathered. Grayson stood ahead of them, jaw clenched, eyes locked on something—or someone—inside.Elena pushed through just behind Asher.And froze.Vivian was on her knees, clinging to the bloodstained shirt of the man slumped against the wall.Connor.Her mate.Unchained.His arms hung limp, hands cut and bruised, but the metal cuffs that should’ve bound him lay discarded on the floor.“What—” Asher’s voice boomed. “What is this?!”None of the guards answered.They looked afraid.Ashen.One stammered, “She... she forced the door. Said it was her right.”“You let her unchain him?” Asher snapped.“We didn’t touch the cu

The Choice of Mercy: “I can hear your heart,” Asher murmured, voice thick with morning rasp. “It’s racing.”Elena’s lips curved, her cheek nestled against his bare chest. “Because you’re the one holding me.”His hand traced lazy circles along her spine. “Do you feel safe?”“With you?” She lifted her head, eyes glowing in the morning light. “I feel like nothing in this world can touch me.”Asher leaned forward, brushing his lips along her temple. “That’s all I ever wanted to give you.”Elena tilted her face up, caught in the honey warmth of his hazel eyes. “You’ve given me more than safety, Asher. You’ve given me something I never thought I’d have again.”He smiled softly. “And what’s that?”“Wholeness.”For a few blissful moments, silence cradled them—comforting and weightless. Outside the windows, dawn slipped through the trees like golden silk, painting their bed in soft warmth. Elena breathed it in, the scent of Asher’s skin, the steady rhythm of his breathing, the feeling of bein

Elena let herself sink into the moment, feeling the soothing weight of Asher’s arms around her. But soon, a mischievous spark lit in her chest, refusing to let the peace stay too serious.“Sit over there,” Elena said suddenly, nudging Asher’s chest with a grin.He blinked, confused but amused. “Bossy,” he teased, but obediently shifted across the bed, sitting up against the pillows.Elena scrambled off the bed and found a battered old sketchbook and a pencil from her nightstand drawer. “Don’t move,” she said with exaggerated sternness, tossing a wink over her shoulder.“Am I about to be immortalized?” Asher smirked, lounging dramatically as if he were about to pose for a royal painting.Elena giggled. “Yes, but if you keep moving like that, it’s going to be a disaster.”He puffed out his chest, then instantly ruined the serious pose by grinning mischievously. “Paint me like one of your French wolves, my Queen.”She burst into laughter, tossing a handful of popcorn from the bowl on the

The room hummed with the quiet sounds of their breathing, the world outside forgotten. Elena shifted slightly against Asher, feeling the warmth of his body wrap around her like a living shield. For a long, blissful moment, they simply held each other, their hearts beating in lazy tandem.Eventually, Asher stirred, brushing his lips lazily across her temple. “Come on, beautiful. Let’s get cleaned up,” he whispered, his voice rough with exhaustion and lingering tenderness.Without letting go of her hand, he guided her toward the large bathtub tucked in the corner of the room. Elena chuckled sleepily as the warm water filled, steam curling up around them like a cocoon.“Lazy wolf,” she teased as he lifted her effortlessly into the bath with him, settling her between his legs, her back resting comfortably against his chest.“You’re one to talk,” Asher murmured, pressing a playful kiss to her wet shoulder, making her giggle.The water enveloped them in heat and comfort. Elena sighed in con

The world outside their little cocoon faded into nothing but heartbeats and whispered breaths.Asher's fingers brushed slow, teasing circles along Elena’s bare hip, drawing a soft gasp from her lips. His touch grew bolder, more deliberate, tracing the sensitive line of her waist, then venturing lower, making her body arch into him instinctively."Asher..." she whispered, breathless, her nails digging lightly into his shoulders.He chuckled against her skin, low and teasing. "What is it, beautiful?" he murmured, nipping playfully at the curve of her neck."You’re... you're teasing me," she said, half-laughing, half-whimpering, the sound laced with undeniable need.He lifted his head, eyes dark and full of wicked affection. "Maybe I am," he said, his voice rough with desire. "You drive me crazy... it’s only fair."Elena whined softly, bucking her hips up to him. "Please," she whispered, her voice cracking with longing.The simple word made Asher growl low in his throat, his restraint cr

A Love That Feels Like Home:"Asher, stop squirming," Elena giggled, trying to peel his shirt over his head as he wrestled with it like it was some wild animal."I'm trying!" he laughed, arms trapped above his head. "This thing’s possessed, I swear."She tugged harder, finally yanking it off with a victorious huff. His hair was a mess, cheeks flushed, eyes crinkling at the corners from laughter. Elena burst out laughing, dropping the shirt to the floor."You look ridiculous," she teased, running her fingers through his tousled hair, smoothing it down."You love it," he said, grinning crookedly, catching her wrists and pulling her closer."Maybe," she whispered, just as he ducked his head to kiss her neck. His lips brushed her mark tenderly, sending a shiver racing down her spine."You definitely do," he murmured against her skin, his voice low and teasing.Elena hummed, threading her fingers into his hair again, tugging playfully as he trailed slow kisses up her jawline. The air betwe

The door creaked open again.Elena turned, expecting Genevieve or maybe Dawn—but it wasn’t either.It was Asher.And he froze in the doorway.Time, breath, and sound—all of it stilled.He didn’t move.Didn’t speak.Just… stared.His eyes drank her in from head to toe. The white dress that floated around her like morning mist. The soft fall of her hair. The quiet strength in her posture. The way her lips curved just barely, nervous but glowing.“Elena,” he finally whispered, voice low and awestruck.Her heart stuttered.He stepped in slowly, reverently, like approaching something sacred. His gaze never left her face, as though he was afraid she’d vanish if he blinked.“Say something,” she breathed, voice barely above a whisper.“I would,” he said, his throat tight, “if I could remember how to speak.”That made her laugh, soft and breathy.He reached her then, his hands lifting but not yet touching—as if still trying to believe she was real. “You look like a dream I’ve had my whole life
