The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 27
Words Elena Hasn't Heard in Years The silence between them stretched. Elena shifted awkwardly. Her pulse was still racing. Asher exhaled through his nose, watching her. Then, his head tilted slightly. "Has anyone ever told you you’re beautiful?" Elena’s breath stopped. Her heart stuttered. The room blurred. A memory—soft, distant, aching. Her mother’s voice. "My beautiful girl." But that had been six years ago. No one had said it since. No one had even looked at her that way. And yet, Asher had said it so easily. Like it wasn’t foreign. Like it wasn’t a lie. Like it wasn’t a game. Her fingers curled into her palms. "Don’t say things you don’t mean." Asher frowned. "Why would I lie?" She didn’t know. She only knew that nothing good ever followed words like that. Because beauty meant attention. And attention meant pain. Asher studied her carefully. His voice softened. "Come with me today." Elena blinked. "What?" "To my pack work

The familiar scratch of pencil against paper was soothing. Line by line, she built her mother’s face—the curve of her cheek, the softness of her smile, the warmth in her eyes. For a moment, everything faded. The pain. The bruises. The doubts. All that remained was the quiet rhythm of shading and detail. Then— A scent. Pine and smoke. A presence. Warm and steady. A voice. "You didn’t answer the door." Elena jumped, nearly smudging the drawing as Asher’s voice broke through the silence. Her heart pounded. She turned to find him leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching her with an unreadable expression. His golden eyes flickered to the journal in her lap. "You draw?" Elena hesitated. She wasn’t used to people seeing this part of her. But Asher wasn’t just people. She nodded. He pushed off the doorframe, stepping closer. "Can I see?" Her throat tightened, but after a long pause, she tilted the journal slightly toward him. His

"You’re frowning," Asher’s deep voice broke through the silence.Elena startled slightly, looking up from the book in her hands.He wasn’t even looking at her.He was still at his desk, flipping through documents, one hand holding a pen, the other resting on the desk. Yet somehow, he’d still noticed."What?" she asked, feigning confusion.Asher finally glanced up. His sharp gaze settled on her with unnerving accuracy."You’re frowning," he repeated, tilting his head slightly. "Either you don’t like the book, or something else is on your mind."Elena swallowed, gripping Animal Farm tighter in her lap.It wasn’t the book. She loved this book.It was her thoughts.The ones that had been creeping in the moment she stepped into his office.The moment she realized how perfectly he fit in this world—his world.And how she… didn’t.Elena forced a small smile. "I’m fine."Asher didn’t look convinced.His eyes lingered on her for a moment longer, like he was debating whether to push.Then, fina

"You’re upset about a book?" Elena blinked, startled out of her thoughts. Asher’s voice held an edge of amusement, his lips curving into the faintest smirk as he leaned back in his chair. She hesitated, gripping Animal Farm tighter in her lap. "It’s… not just a book," she murmured. Asher raised a brow, waiting. Elena hesitated again. But something about his quiet patience made it easier to speak. "Boxer," she said finally. "He worked himself to death, believing in something that never truly cared about him." A flicker of something unreadable crossed Asher’s face. "And that upsets you?" Elena looked down at the worn pages, tracing a fingertip over the words. "He was good," she said softly. "And it didn’t matter." The room was quiet for a moment. Then Asher let out a low hum, shifting slightly in his chair. "Life isn’t always fair," he admitted. "But not everyone ends up like Boxer." Elena glanced up, surprised. His gaze was steady. "Some fight back." Her bre

Elena's voice was hesitant. “You were… avoiding me?” Asher exhaled slowly, running a hand through his dark hair. “Not avoiding,” he corrected. “Giving you space.” Elena frowned. “Why?” His jaw tightened for a moment before he sighed, eyes locking onto hers. “Because my wolf—Leo—was restless. He wanted you close. Needed you close.” Her breath hitched. “But I didn’t want to overwhelm you,” Asher continued, his voice quieter now. “I thought… after everything, you might need time to adjust.” Elena’s mind reeled. He had stayed away—not because he didn’t want her—but because he cared enough to give her space? “The frustration you saw,” Asher went on, “it wasn’t anger. It was… pain.” His fingers curled slightly at his sides. “Pain of being too far from you.” A warmth bloomed in Elena’s chest, unfamiliar and terrifying all at once. She had spent years believing she was unwanted, a burden no one cared to carry. Elena swallowed hard, forcing herself to meet his gaze. “You—”

Elena felt safe. It was a foreign sensation—one she hadn’t allowed herself to experience in years. The rhythmic motion of Asher’s fingers stroking her hair, the steady rise and fall of his chest beneath her, the warmth of his arms wrapped around her—it all lulled her into a sense of peace she never knew she needed. Her eyelids grew heavy, her body melting into his embrace. For the first time in what felt like forever, she allowed herself to relax. Then— A loud growl broke the silence. Not from Asher. From her stomach. Elena froze. Her eyes flew open in horror as heat flooded her face. Asher stilled beneath her before a deep chuckle rumbled from his chest. “Well,” he murmured, amusement lacing his tone. “That was unexpected.” Elena wanted to disappear. She tried to move away, but Asher tightened his hold, his grip firm yet gentle. Then, before she could protest, he tilted her chin up with his fingers, forcing her to meet his gaze. His amber eyes burned i

Elena barely had time to process what was happening before Asher grabbed her hand, his firm grip steadying yet possessive. He didn’t say a word as he pulled her toward the door, but she could feel the silent determination radiating from him. Her heart thudded painfully against her ribs as they stepped out of his office, and the moment they entered the hallway, it felt like all eyes turned toward them. Whispers. Stares. Elena’s breath hitched. She knew what they were thinking. Knew what the pack saw when they looked at her. A runt. A nobody. The weakest link standing beside the most powerful alpha they had ever known. The weight of their judgment crushed her, suffocating in a way she hadn’t expected. Her fingers instinctively twitched, and she tried to pull her hand free, but Asher tightened his grip. “Don’t,” he murmured, his tone firm yet soothing. Her stomach knotted as she looked up at him, but he wasn’t looking at her. His gaze was trained on the pack

An Unsettling Encounter in the Kitchen: When they finally reached the pack’s kitchen, Elena could still feel her nerves lingering. She kept close to Asher, not wanting to draw attention to herself, but she knew that was impossible now. Everyone had seen them. And they wouldn’t stop talking about it. She inhaled deeply, trying to shake the unease when— “Asher, darling, it’s been a while.” Elena’s stomach twisted at the voice. She didn’t even need to look to know who it was. Tessa. One of Vivian’s friends. One of the girls who used to stand back and laugh while Elena was tormented. Elena stiffened, instinctively stepping closer to Asher. Tessa was beautiful, with perfect blonde curls and sharp green eyes that always seemed to hold a hidden agenda. Her smile was too wide, her voice too sweet—everything about her screamed fake. And she was looking at Asher like she owned him. “Tessa.” Asher acknowledged her with a cold nod, his hand tightening around Elena’s

…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
