The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 36: The Pack’s Harsh Reality
Elena was still frozen in place, Asher’s touch lingering on her cheek like a brand. The weight of what had just happened—Vivian’s humiliation, Asher’s silent declaration—hung in the air. Then, the moment shattered. A slow clap echoed through the room. The sound was mocking, filled with bored amusement. Elena’s stomach dropped. She knew that voice. Knew what it meant. Connor. A high-ranking male, second only to Asher in strength but twice as ruthless. He strode in like he owned the place, his broad frame casting a shadow over the room. His dark, calculating eyes swept over the scene, lingering on Vivian’s retreating form before settling on Elena. A smirk curled on his lips. "Well, well," he drawled. "What do we have here?" Elena fought the urge to shrink back. Connor was dangerous. He didn’t just enjoy the pack’s hierarchy—he enforced it. And right now? She had just been the cause of a disruption. His least favorite thing. Tessa, always eager to shif

Tessa’s mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. Her usual sharp tongue had failed her. For the first time, she had nothing to say. The power in Asher’s voice had shaken her. Had humiliated her. The pack was still watching, still processing what had just happened. Elena remained frozen in Asher’s arms, her mind struggling to catch up. The weight of the moment pressed down on her chest—the shock, the relief, the disbelief that someone had finally stood up for her. That someone had claimed her in front of everyone. The tension in the room was suffocating, but Asher’s touch was grounding. Warm. Strong. Unyielding. And without thinking—without hesitating— Elena clutched his hand. Tightly. As if he were the only thing keeping her upright. As if letting go would mean losing the only sense of safety she had ever known. His fingers curled around hers instantly, as though he had been waiting for it. His thumb traced slow, calming circles over her knuckl

"Sit," Asher’s deep voice commanded. Elena hesitated, hovering near the doorway of his home. Her eyes flickered over the elegant black couches, the wooden table, the fireplace flickering with golden embers. The place was beautiful. It suited him. Dark. Refined. Commanding. But she—she didn’t belong in a place like this. Still, Asher was watching her, waiting. Slowly, she moved forward and sank into a seat at the kitchen island, her fingers gripping the cool marble counter. Asher walked past her, opening the fridge. The sound of the door creaking open, the soft clink of glass against metal—it all felt too normal. Too mundane, given the chaos of earlier. Elena swallowed hard. The tension in her shoulders refused to ease, even as Asher casually pulled out a plate of food. His presence was the only thing grounding her—the warmth of his body as he moved past her, the occasional brush of his fingers against her skin. The firm, steady weight of his hand resting

He smirked. “You eat, don’t you?” She stared at him. “I—of course, but…” She hesitated. “What are you making?” Asher opened the fridge and pulled out a pack of ground meat. “yambeef.” Elena blinked again. The powerful Alpha—the man who had just silenced an entire pack with a single growl—was now casually talking about yambeef. She wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be more confused. Still, something about the abrupt change in mood made her relax. At least a little. She folded her arms, tilting her head. “You cook?” Asher glanced at her. “Do I look like someone who doesn’t?” Elena hesitated. “…Honestly?” One brow arched. “Careful, Elena.” A small, unexpected smile tugged at her lips. For a moment, the weight of the day lifted, and she allowed herself to simply watch him move around the kitchen. The way he effortlessly grabbed ingredients, the way he seemed completely at ease in his own space. Her gaze drifted across the room again—the wooden beams, the large

His grip was firm—possessive. One hand settled on her thigh, the warmth of his touch burning through the thin fabric of her leggings. The other cupped her jaw, tilting her face upward until her gaze was locked onto his. “You are not a runt,” he murmured, his voice dark, low, and unwavering. “And I don’t ever want to hear you say it again.” Elena’s pulse pounded. “But—” His thumb brushed over her bottom lip, silencing her. “You are mine.” The words sent a shiver down her spine, leaving her dizzy in a way she didn’t understand. She should pull away. She should tell him he was wrong. But the intensity in his eyes held her still. “You don’t see it yet, do you?” he whispered, his grip on her thigh tightening just enough to make her breath hitch. Elena swallowed hard. “See what?” His expression darkened, his fingers flexing against her skin. “How perfect you are.” A sharp inhale left her lips. He was too close. His words were too much. “Asher, I—” She never

“Eat.” Elena blinked, staring blankly at the plate in front of her. Her mind was still stuck on what had just happened—on the way Asher had kissed her, on the way his hands had held her so securely, as if she would disappear if he let go. But now, he was acting like nothing happened, like her entire world hadn’t just been flipped upside down. “Elena.” She flinched at the sound of her name, snapping out of her daze. Asher’s golden eyes were locked onto her, filled with something between amusement and concern. He gestured toward the plate of food he had set in front of her just moments ago. “You need to eat,” he repeated, his voice softer this time. Elena swallowed, glancing down at the food. She should be hungry—she hadn’t eaten properly in what felt like days. But the turmoil of emotions swirling inside her made it impossible to focus on anything other than the lingering sensation of his lips on hers. “I’m not really hungry,” she murmured, pushing the food around wit

But before she could let her thoughts spiral any further, the sound of footsteps returning reached her ears. She forced herself to take a slow breath. And then— Asher reappeared. And this time, he wasn’t alone. ---Elena’s Internal Conflict : Elena immediately recognized the resemblance. The woman beside Asher had the same sharp, golden eyes, the same dark hair—though hers was streaked with silver, pulled into a neat bun. There was an air of authority about her, the kind that demanded attention without needing to say a word. Elena’s stomach knotted. She suddenly felt too small, too out of place. She had spent so long being looked down on by others that she had come to expect it. What if Asher’s mother was the same? What if— A warm hand landed on her knee. Elena startled, looking up to find Asher watching her. His gaze was steady, unwavering. And then, softly— “Don’t look down.” His voice was quiet, meant just for her. Her chest ached. Because for o

At one point, when Margot was talking, his hand suddenly brushed her knee under the table. The touch was light, almost unnoticeable. But Elena felt it. And when she looked up, Asher’s gaze was already waiting for hers. The silent message was clear. You don’t have to be quiet. Elena swallowed hard, her fingers curling around her fork. She didn’t know if she could meet his expectations. But the fact that he wanted her to be part of this—it mattered. It mattered more than she wanted to admit. --- Uncertainty About Margot’s Approval : By the time dinner was over, Elena still wasn’t sure where she stood with Margot. The woman had been warm, but was it genuine? Did she actually approve of Elena? Or was she just being polite? Elena wished she could tell. Her mother had been an expert at masking her true feelings. Had told Elena she loved her even as she cast her aside. That memory lingered as she watched Margot rise from her seat. And for the first time, Ele

The silence held like a fragile glass dome—ready to crack with the next breath.Elena slowly stood from the stone bench, her hand still laced with Asher’s. The blood had dried on his knuckles, a dark contrast to her soft, steady fingers. Around them, the night air hummed with unspoken tension. Somewhere beyond the walls, the pack waited. Watched. Whispered.She lifted her chin.And walked forward.“Asher,” she said quietly, her voice a thread of steel wrapped in silk, “stay here. Breathe.”He nodded, reluctant but obedient, his eyes never leaving her.She turned toward the courtyard’s archway where the first lines of pack members had begun to gather—hesitant, uncertain, wide-eyed. Grayson stood among them, stiff and unreadable. Lena hovered just behind him, arms crossed but eyes flickering with something—something like waiting.Elena stepped into view.“Enough,” she said.The word sliced through the air.Dozens of heads turned toward her. Murmurs died. Shoulders squared.Her tone wasn

The Shattering Calm: “I told you not to touch her.”Asher’s voice was low, guttural—nearly inhuman. His body was a blur of motion.“No—!”Nathan’s scream barely left his lips before a sickening crack echoed through the air.Then silence.The kind that wraps around the lungs and crushes.The kind that halts time.Gasps broke out in waves. A few stumbled back. Others covered their mouths. A baby somewhere wailed. But no one moved.Nathan’s body hit the stone floor with a finality that silenced even the torches.He wasn’t breathing.Not twitching.Not alive.Elena didn’t scream. She couldn’t.Her breath had left her the moment Nathan’s hand had clamped around her wrist.Now, standing there, the imprint of his fingers still burning her skin, she stared—at the lifeless heap that had once been a boy she grew up with.And then at Asher.His chest heaved, but his face—gods.His eyes were pitch black, a storm of rage and instinct, his jaw clenched so tight she swore his teeth would shatter.

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
