Stretching, I changed my side. Something was strangely familiar about my couch. It was more comfortable and I felt warmer than before. My eyes flickered open and I saw Asher lying next to me. His lips were slightly parted and the black blanket covered half his chest. The couch can’t take the both of us. I frowned at myself because that is the first thought that crossed my mind. Realization hit me; I was on his bed. Panic rose within me. How did I get here? When did I get here? I slept on the couch.
I got up instantly, my heart pounding in my chest. I watched him sleep. He looked sexier. Is that even possible? He was entirely exposed. I wanted to touch his beard. It was a funny thing to do but I really wanted to feel his beard underneath my fingers.
What the hell
MoonlightGuess who it is? I'm really excited about the next chapter :))

Everything around me went quiet and still almost as if time stopped. No more swishing of the leaves or the wind. Even the birds stopped chirping and the squeaking sound of the squirrels coming before were now nowhere to be heard. Not a single sound was made! Gulping, I tried to keep my stance firm. All types of scenarios hit me all at once. He can kill me right here and now and I wouldn’t even see it coming. As if hearing my thoughts, he reassured me, “Don’t worry darling, I’m not here to kill you,” With a blink of an eye, from standing ten feet apart he was now just two feet away. I flinched back and goosebumps ran all over my body. “What do you want?” I managed to ask. “Let’s just say I missed you,” he gave me a smile but I was terrified out

With my mind still occupied with today’s events, I entered the room completely forgetting that Asher was inside. Making my way to the bathroom, I took off my hoodie and threw it on the couch. I felt a cold sting on my arms and chest. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand. I twisted the door knob but it didn’t open. Must be stuck, I thought. I tried again and luckily it opened. It was more like a touch than a hold and twist. The door opened by itself. It was Asher. He was inside with a towel wrapped around his torso. There was some space between us. Immediately, blood rushed to my cheeks and I flushed. His eyes were on me. I could feel them piercing through me as I took notice of his wet hair which hung roughly above his head. I lowered my gaze but it wasn’t helping since his chiseled body was really distra

Taking the stairs, I hopped down wearing a dark blue hoodie over dark blue jeans which hugged my thighs and legs along with white thick sole joggers. Five days went by with Asher and I not talking to each other. It was either a small nod or a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ and at the most, not more than five words, literally. Things were getting depressingly tedious for me. My routine was the same as always. Breakfasts were in the room or in the kitchen with Maya, sometimes alone; I was not a fan of lunches that leave dinner. Dinner was downstairs in the dining room, the huge room with just a table and its chairs. It had twenty seats in total. Asher always sat in the front single chair and mine was on his right hand side. Cole was beside me and Gray on his left. Sabine was beside Cole and then followed Maya whereas Felicia was beside Gray. That was how we were u

“Are you sure she is okay Cole?” I asked as she ran towards the woods. “Yeah, don’t worry about her,” he assured but I wasn’t satisfied by his answer. Something happened but I’ll leave it for now. “If you say so,” looking at the two guys I sighed, “Okay then, do your thing, I’m leaving,” “What thing?” Adrian frowned. I opened my mouth to speak but Cole interrupted, laughing, “She means training,” His mouth formed an ‘o’ before he gave a suggestion, “Why don’t you practice with us?” Cole looked at him. “I mean you should know how to fight,” he elaborated. “Yeah right. Fight who exactly?” I said, smiling weakly.

Taking in a hot sip of my coffee, I took a quick glance at everyone sitting at the table. They were all so focused into their own worlds. This was never the way with my family. We talked and laughed, we actually looked forward to having breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Anything that brought us to the table! It was exciting to talk about the littlest of things. But here, it’s like pack business, pack training or the upcoming ‘Winter Ball,’ otherwise nothing. Well Winter Ball sounds exhilarating to be honest. I hear Ball and I imagine a huge hall with formally dressed men in tuxedos or suits and women in dresses and wine and delectable food and the fresh aroma of enthusiasm and slow dancing. It’s quite…picturesque. Deciding to lighten up the boring atmosphere, I spoke up, taking everyone by surprise especially Asher, “Alpha Solomon, will your pack be joining us at the Winter Ball?”

“I’ll make things easier for you to get Asher,” it doesn’t have to be this way.Her face went from a smiley one to a serious one. “What do you mean?” her voice went rigid. She seemed interested, it’s working.Gulping, I forced the words out, “I’ll reject him as my mate,” nodding at myself after seeing her eyes go wide as saucers, I added, “I’ll reject him,” no, no don’t let the tears come out, dumbass.Boy, was I glad it was too dark too focus on my face.“Why will you do that?” she asked, demandingly.

Ashers POV: Where the hell was she? It’s eleven. I swear Axel, if this time I find her sauntering around the woods, alone, I will punish her. He grunted showing his disapproval of letting me do anything to hurt our mate. Selfish dog, as if I’m not affected when she’s hurt. Deciding to have a quick bath I stripped and went inside the bathroom, turned on the shower and stood under the soothing hot water pouring over me. Remembering how she scowled at me in the ground today when Maya refused to train her, I chuckled. I was right. I knew she was going to seek Maya's help out therefore I told her beforehand to not accept her offer. Mayas is a good girl and a part of me was delighted to see her f

“What?” I panted, his face hovered above mine. I noticed that his eyes were back to his stormy ones. Axel. He pushed Axel back. I think I know what happened. He was doing okay until Axel lost control, that stupid dumbo, and tried to come through but Asher strained him back. His eyes shouted for more, they weren’t yet satisfied but he stopped. He pulled himself up from me and sighed heavily. I lay there, winded and dazed, astonished at the peculiar feeling of my core, the throbbing of every inch of my body. Is this what desire feels like? “Why did you do that?” he roughened his hair. Staring at the ceiling above, too lost in the former moment, I licked my lips. The lips he kissed on. “Because I wanted to,” All of a sudden the ceiling seemed very interesting to look at. I don’t regret what I did; baffled to my very heart, yes, but there is no guilt . I liked every moment of it. Giving him that answer seemed like the
