Esther froze.

The musky scent of him coupled with citrus and cedar wood floated into her nose, intoxicating her. Those intimidating blue eyes of his sent blood rushing through her system.

Before she could get lost in the beauty in front of her, he let go of her. She stumbled. Nonetheless, she managed to stand right this time, and realizing how everyone had their eyes on her got Esther sweating.

The words were stuck in her throat, and the urgent need to escape overpowered the presence of Asher. After mumbling a soft and almost incoherent thank you, she rushed away from the scene.

Louis cackled at the sight, commenting, “You terrified her.”

Paying no mind to his words, Asher chose to walk away.

The art class was a torture for Esther who had a difficult time drawing a straight line. As the teacher explained about a certain technique, Esther was lost in her thoughts and began to scribble randomly on the paper in front of her.

This was one of those classes Esther shared with her sister, his. The girl was the favorite of the art teacher with her immense talent in the field. This is not what made Esther envious of her sister. It was that her sister had a relationship with Asher.

Although the relationship wasn’t anything stable— with both simply fulfilling their needs— at least her sister had the courage to approach the man. Remembering about the mess she was earlier, Esther slammed her head against the easel before her.

This caused the easel to shake, and before it could fall down, Esther caught it, feeling relieved at herself for not causing a mess.

This is when she heard laughs from beside her, and this made her turn her head. Her eyes met with a pair of green ones, and there was amusement written in them.

She recognized him to be Louis Grey, a close friend of Asher’s. He had the most friendly personality of the bunch , and packed with humor, he had his way when it came to words to charm the women. He had his fascinating looks to help as well.

Knowing that his laugh was targeted towards her, her cheeks burned due to embarrassment while she turned to face towards the canvas before her.

“Hey, you are that girl from earlier! The one that was scared away! You are cute!” he commented.

Esther stared at him with widened eyes and her lips parted.

‘Did he just talk to me? Should I reply to him? But I don’t know what to say to that. Will he think of me as someone arrogant?’

Sensing the fear and panic on her, Louis asked, “Are you afraid of me?”

Esther shook her head immediately and awkwardly said, “Thank you.”

Louis held in his urge to squeal at how adorable she was. She had a soft voice and small stature. Her scared and cautious demeanor made him want to pet her.

“What are you thanking me for? Hmm,” he teasingly stated, leaning closer to her.

Before Esther was able to say anything, the teacher yelled, “Leave my class if you want to flirt, Louis, Esther!”

Clearly feeling the teacher’s scorching gaze on her, Esther rested her head against the canvas, hoping for this humiliating moment to be over soon.

    “Was your love for me a lie?” Esther cried out.Asher pressed on to his forehead and expressed, “Quit being so dramatic.”“Men are really heartless creatures or else how can you push me to the execution ground. Yesterday you were hugging me and loving me, and now, you want me dead?”“Esther.”Asher stared at her sternly.This made her pout and deflate, almost falling off to the ground in the process. Asher grabbed on to her collar to prevent that from happening.“Why have you only grown to become more and more childish?” Asher pinched her nose while staring at her with adoration in his eyes.She scrunched up her nose.“Alright. Your family is waiting outside of the door. I will go and open it.”Esther showed a helpless expression. Whatever, sooner or later, she will have to face her family. It doesn’t matter if she gets beaten up. Just a little painful and a whole lot embarrassing.Taking in a deep breath, she steeled herself and gestured to Asher to open the door.“Alright. I am read

    Asher sounded disappointed.“That’s all? Because I hardly looked at you for few days, you thought I had no feelings for you? Even after I opened about everything to you? I told you over and over again that breaking the bond wouldn’t change anything. You couldn’t trust me?”“How am I supposed to read your mind!? You are always blowing hot and cold. It’s tiresome. What about you? You weren’t any less insensitive! Didn’t you think it would hurt me if you avoided me?Don’t you have common sense? Or was it a game you played to torture me because I wanted to break the bond with you? That’s your favorite hobby, right!?”“My hobby? Yeah, you are right. I am paranoid. I enjoy testing people at every turn and don’t trust anyone. But I wanted to do that with you. Fuck! If it wasn’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have ignored you.Do you know what I felt like every time I looked at you? Tortured. Do you understand how empty I felt without the bond? Unable to read your emotions, it was all too foreign

    Asher stared at her in disbelief.“I am in last stage of stomach cancer. That’s why, I will be content to get to see you married, and it’s sad that I won’t have the luxury to see your children. Nonetheless, I hope you will be happy in the future.”“You are lying,” Asher responded.Esther sighed.“I wish I was too. There’s a lot I wanted to do, but too bad, my life is short.”At this, Esther saw Asher taking out his phone, and alert, she grabbed on to his hand, asking, “What are you doing?”“Arranging for the tests. You will be done for if you are lying.”This made Esther nervous.“Can you not? I am exhausted of having to go to doctors, getting poked, and having to take medicine. I won’t stop you from doing whatever you want, but please, don’t force me to see a doctor. There’s no hope already. I just want to spend my last days peacefully.”“Shut up,” he ordered, “there’s no way that’s the case, and you will be seeing a doctor whether you like it or not.”“I was sad, thinking that you w

  • The Alpha's Unwanted Human Mate   Three Months Left

    A chill travelled down Esther’s spine. At the sane time, she felt indignant. What right did he have to accuse her in this manner as though she cheated behind his back?Back then, it was him who fervently ignored her, and these years, she suffered badly. She was all alone with strangers. And it’s not like she wanted to be away; she had to be away.“I-uh, it’s none of your business. It’s been five years, Asher. Weren’t we just childish high school students back then? What happened back then shouldn’t even matter?”Asher’s eyes darkened further.“Say that again.”Esther was about to repeat those words when she got intimidated by his eyes. Her senses could easily perceive the danger, and she silently turned to face the window. She wasn’t foolish enough to provoke the beast.And then, they stopped in front of a mansion. It was grand. Esther stared at it in amazement and wondered how much Asher actually made in a month. Asher then got down of the car and ordered her to follow behind him. A

    “Dad’s home. Yikes! I am going to bed, Esther. Good night.”Before Esther could say anything, the child rushed off to her room, and she laughed at her antics. Despite Dylan’s repeated warnings, Lily still got into a fight in school and got injuries. Not wanting to be scolded by her father again, she hid.Esther shook her head.The main door opened, and Dylan stepped in. She raised her eyebrow at the signs of joy seen on his face. Work made him exhausted usually, so this was new.“What happened?” she questioned as the man removed his blazer and placed it on the couch.“I met with an old friend from the council today, and it seemed that Stephen was caught, five years ago at that. It’s sad we lost connection for long.”Stephen and Esther did lay low for these five long years. Esther had no connection with the werewolf council, and Stephen didn’t have complete trust in them. He was afraid getting involved would result in him being caught.“You sure?” Esther asked.Dylan nodded.“Confirmed

  • The Alpha's Unwanted Human Mate   Five Years Later

    Esther bent down and fixed the hair of the child in front of her. No older than five, the girl had doe brown eyes, brown hair pulled into two ponytails, and chubby cheeks that made one want to pinch them.In other words, she was adorable.“Now, take care of yourself, and don’t get into fights.”“Yes, Mom! Are you coming to pick me up?”Esther pretended to think about it for a while.“I am not too sure about it.”“I will give you a kiss, Mom.”With that, the tiny girl plastered her lips on to Esther’s cheeks, leaving behind a small kiss before stepping back with sparkling eyes, blinking at Esther in expectation.Esther laughed. She hated leaving her apartment, but she could do anything for her adorable baby.“Sure.”The child grinned widely.“Then, make sure to bring enough money with you. I want to buy this big dollhouse. Dad scolded me, saying it’s a waste of money, and I will break it. What would he know? The dollhouse is so pretty. I want it.”The girl scoffed, folding her hands ov
