LIA'S POV.I was lying on my bed, reading a book when I heard a loud scream coming from downstairs. My heart began to race as I sat up and tried to listen for any other sounds. As I stood up to leave the room, I felt something strange in my throat. It was like a lump that wouldn't go away, and it made me feel sick.I stumbled towards the door, but my legs were shaking so much that I couldn't walk properly. I knew that something was wrong, and I needed to get downstairs to find out what was happening. As I made my way down the stairs, the feeling in my throat intensified, and I began to feel dizzy.Suddenly, I knew that I was going to throw up. I tried to hold it back, but it was too late. I ran towards the restroom and barely made it in time to throw up into the toilet. The taste in my mouth was disgusting, and I felt like I was going to be sick again.After a few minutes, I managed to compose myself and rinse my mouth with water. I knew that I had to get back downstairs to find out w
LIA."Lia!" My aunt yells. Her high-pitched voice was startling. I wake up abruptly from the cold storage ground that has my entire body aching. My mind is scattered and my head is throbbing badly. I have a migraine but I'll be damned if I say anything about it so I suck it up like the courageous girl I was. Who I was kidding anyways?I darted my eyes to the little window inside to store room, only to see that the sun has already risen which indicates that it was morning already.The birds outside were chirping loudly and quite beautifully. They sounded a lot happier than I ever would be unlike me who wakes up every day looking like a worthless piece of shit.I force myself to stand up from the hard surface. My whole body is sore and the injuries that were inflicted on me by my uncle haven't healed completely yet. This is what happens when you're nothing but a cursed wolfless omega. If I had my wolf, I would've healed at a very fast rate but there's nothing I can do. This has always
LIA.Halfway through my walk home, I decided to take the narrow path that led to my pack. It was lonely and quiet which helped me to think and process my thoughts clearly plus it was the fastest route home if I ever wanted to make it back home in time and escape some serious backlash from my uncle.I was about to make a turn when I spotted an unmoving figure up ahead. I couldn't see who it was but somehow I was pulled toward that person. It was almost as if whatever lying down there was calling out to me. This feeling was all so very strange to me and I couldn't comprehend what was going on at the moment. My legs seem to have a mind of their own because they started walking involuntarily toward the person.When I got closer, I noticed that it was a man and that he was injured and bruised, and battered. Crouching down next to him, I slowly raised my hands and ran my fingers over his face, making sure to push the bloodied tendrils on his face to the side. His eyes were snapped shut
ASHER.I fluttered my eyes open to take in my surroundings. The room was dimly lit up so I could barely make out anything from the shadows.Soon enough, the door flew open and someone walked in. My senses were flustered so I couldn't pick up any scent at that particular moment."Asher" He called out. I recognized him from his voice. It was Williams."You're okay." He blurted out with a smile on his face. I nodded my head slowly to to his outburst. "What happened out there?"I forced myself to sit, sucking in the pain so that it doesn't show. "Wolf hunters." I voiced out "I spotted them trying to come after me so I attacked them.""And...?" He trailed off expectantly."I killed them all.""And how is it that you were bruised and injured if you killed them?""They fought with Morgan Silver and you know how that stuff weakens me. It was brutal." I responded, holding to that side of my chest where the wounds were inflicted on me."You could've at least called. I was very worried. The e
ASHER.Today marked the third day after the incident that had happened to me and I had recovered a great deal as well. The wounds were gone and the herbs had managed to take their course in my recovery.William had insisted that I share a bed with a woman to help me heal faster but I couldn't. Not with the thoughts of that woman brooding in my thoughts. I couldn't get her off my mind and I always imagined what she looked like and how I would meet her again.William had tried all he could to find her but he hadn't gotten any lead on where she could be. It's almost like she had disappeared into thin air. I wish that I could see her and probably thank her for saving my life but I don't even know where to start from in looking."What are you going to do about the wolf hunters that had been terrorizing our land Alpha King?" Dylan, one of the members of the court spoke up, piercing into my deep hazel word. I had drifted off that I almost forgot that I was in a meeting with the elders of
ASHERWith a boring remark I hissed at the lady making seducing faces at me and tapped Williams. "I don't feel good just sitting here, I need some air." I said and he stood up immediately."What are you doing?""I'm not letting you get out of my sight Alpha, not after what happened the last time." He said with worry, taking a quick step towards me.I looked at him and snorted, "are you insinuating that I'm weak?" I rebuffed."May the goddess forbid that my alpha-" he said in obeisance and I waved it off. "I also feel queasy just sitting down here, I need some air too."A look from me made him chuckle, Williams is always like that. He wants to be everywhere I am, I am in this alpha's gathering because of his deceiving words that I might find my mate here. It's two hours now and I'm yet to catch any scent.We walked out of the party room and extended to the shades. We were about to step out of the building when I heard a loud cry.It sounded like a female and that aroused my wolf, one
LIAWith tiny leaps and slow gulps I followed a man whom I knew nothing about, my eyes were blinded with tears and my body was starting to ache.I couldn't lift my leg any further so I stopped walking, causing him to check up on me."Does it hurt that much?" His deep blue eyes stared at me. His words were so cool and comforting that I forgot how to reply."I don't think she can walk any farther, let's just take her to a secure place or leave her to her guardians." The other man chimmed in."No" I said in a small shout, "I want to go back, my uncle will kill me if he finds out about this." How could I have forgotten so soon what my uncle's wrath is like.I better go back to Ryan or things will get messy. With a shivering voice I snatched my hand away from the man."What are you doing? You need to get treated." He said in concern but I was too scared to allow that."I don't know you people, I'm sorry I can't go with you guys, I need to go back to my family." I managed to mutter.The man
ASHER.“You do know it’s not too late to stop them and save her right?” My beta opined as I was clutching my fist and gritting my teeth, barely controlling my blazing rage. The pain of seeing my mate being treated in such a gore way was worst to handle but my ego still didn’t let me make a move.“You’ve got the power to, Asher” William pressed on, obvious concern underlining his tone.“I know but I don’t want another taint on my ego. I’ll make a move only when I deem she’ll value it and appreciate me.” I growled out and walliam furrowed his brow at me.“But you saw them knock her unconscious and it seems like they ain’t just gonna go that easy on her. If what you said about her being your mate is true, I’m pretty sure you don’t want them to break her more than she already is” my heart churned as Williams shove on my face the pained truth.But still not changing my mind, I willed him to keep shut and just follow my damn lead instead of pester me. Mate or not, I’m an Alpha, you should
