The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 38
"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

"Um, hello? Can you hear me?" Elena’s eyes fluttered open at the sound of a voice—familiar yet impossible. Her breath hitched. "Lena?" she whispered in her mind, unsure if she was losing it. "Yes! Oh my god, Elena, you can hear me!" Her heart pounded. She had heard nothing from Lena since that day. And now, out of nowhere, her voice was as clear as if she were standing right next to her. "How…? This doesn’t make sense!" Elena tried to sit up, but something held her down. Not something. Someone. She turned her head, her cheek brushing against warmth. Asher’s arm was draped around her waist, his grip firm even in sleep. Her pulse jumped. "Asher," she whispered, nudging his arm slightly. He didn't stir. Her fingers traced his forearm, feeling the muscles shift under her touch. Sparks shot up her skin, and she nearly shivered. The moment she tried to lift his arm away, he instinctively tightened his hold. She tensed. As if sensing her shift, Asher's eyes slowly o

Elena was still catching her breath, her heart pounding from the intensity of the moment. Asher’s arms were still wrapped around her, his forehead resting against hers. The silence between them wasn’t awkward—it was charged, humming with something unspoken yet undeniable. “I heard her,” she whispered finally, her voice barely above a breath. Asher pulled back slightly, his darkened eyes searching hers. “Lena?” Elena nodded. “She’s been here this whole time. I just—couldn’t hear her before.” His fingers brushed against her cheek, sending a shiver down her spine. “And now you can?” “Yes.” He exhaled slowly, something shifting in his expression—relief, curiosity, maybe even something deeper. His hand slipped from her face, fingers trailing down her arm before finally settling at her wrist, his thumb absently stroking over her pulse. “Elena.” His voice was softer now, more careful. “What does that mean for you?” She swallowed. “I don’t know yet.” "Oh, you two are killing

Elena barely had time to exhale before another presence entered the clearing—gentle footsteps crunching the blood-speckled gravel.“Sweetheart?”The voice was soft, but it stilled Asher instantly.His head turned before his body did. “Mom?”Margot stood at the edge of the courtyard, hands clasped nervously in front of her, eyes shimmering with barely-contained tears. Her gray-streaked hair was pinned back hastily, and she looked like she’d run here in a rush—still wearing an apron dusted with flour.“Asher…” Her voice broke.He didn’t speak. He just went to her.His steps were slow at first, hesitant, but with each stride they grew faster—until he crashed into her arms and buried his face against her shoulder like he was five again and had just skinned his knee. Margot clutched him tightly, murmuring softly in a language only mothers knew.Elena stepped back, heart clenched.It was a sight no one else could offer him: a mother holding her son, grounding him not with duty or titles but

Asher’s breathing had steadied against her chest, but the tension clinging to his body told Elena his storm hadn’t fully passed. She could feel it in the way his arms held her like a lifeline—tight, desperate, almost reverent.She shifted slightly to cradle his jaw, lifting his face until their eyes met.“You’re my mate,” she whispered.The words weren’t said to soothe.They were truth.Powerful. Undeniable.“I know what that means,” she continued, fingers brushing the tears from his cheeks. “It means you’ll fight for me. Kill for me if you have to. You didn’t attack out of rage alone, Asher. You reacted because someone laid hands on your bonded mate. You were protecting me.”His eyes shimmered with grief and awe.“And while what happened tonight was violent… it wasn’t senseless,” she added. “It wasn’t cruelty. It was instinct. Love, twisted in the face of danger.”“But love shouldn’t look like *that,*” he rasped. “Elena… there was blood on my hands. And for a second—I didn’t even car
The Alpha's Obsession Chapter 141
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
