“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

Asher’s POV:“How many are dead?” I inquired.“The kid is the only survivor,” Cole glanced at the nine year old trembling boy, his lips quivering his eyes wide from all the traumatic mayhem he saw. His left arm had a sharp claw mark which held dried blood. That wasn’t from a vampire.Maya was attending to him. Holding his shaky hand in hers, she placed her other hand on his wound softly and closing her eyes she relaxed herself, taking a deep breath through her nostrils. The wound slowly started to heal as it faded from the corners. The boy watched her with amused eyes but he seemed too depleted to react.“Rogues were also involved,” Cole informed and my jaw tightened as I pursed my lips together.Suddenly anger washed over me, I scoffed. How awful is this world! Slaughtering people without any reason, killing children, spreading isolation, and fear but for what? To prove a fucking poi

My thought was ruined by the sudden bang on the room’s door. A servant ran in seeming as if he had seen ghosts, with sweat dripping down his face, a horrified expression settled on his face. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Asher with a frown hanging over his forehead. Alpha Killian continued picking peas from his plate by a fork while Alpha Solomon paid attention to the restless servant. Cole, Gray, Maya and Felicia had their focus glued onto that man. “What is it?” Asher demanded. The air was suddenly tense and the alert gazes from Asher and everyone were really giving me an off sentiment. “Alpha Kane from The Assembly,” he gulped, “He’s here,” The fork stopped midway air just a few centimeters away from Alpha Killian’s lips and he stared at the servant in awe. Alpha Solomon sighed shook his head “Kane?” it was Alpha Solomon. “What the hell is he doing here?” He muttered bitterly throwing a sharp glare at Asher. “Where

“What do you want Jacob?” Asher demanded. “Ever since you placed your foot on my territory, things haven’t been working out according to me. Your presence has been proven to be a nuisance. A pain in my ass!” He took another step forward. “Stop blaming me for everything Asher. This old habit of yours,” Jacob scoffed and then shrugged, “it’s not my fault things aren't going in your favor. Could be for the better, I suppose’ His eyes landed on me and stayed there as a smile made its way on his lips. A dangerous snarl came from behind me which made Jacob look at him. Asher warned, “Don’t look at her like that. You’ve been eyeing my mate since the day you have arrived. Do you think I’m blind?” he took one more step forward and thank God I was in front of him. He only towered over me but didn’t cross me. My hands landed on his arms to keep him from going further but he didn’t look at me. My eyes flickered behind him to watch Sabine. She was leaning against the staircase with folded arms e

Asher kneed him in his stomach but Jacob recovered from it. He went offensive while Asher was playing defensive. Despite the powerful blows Asher managed to back Jacob up to a corner. A tree behind him! Jacob glanced back and then ducked dodging the elbow to the face from Asher. He pushed Asher back and then made a jump. One of his legs pushed against the tree making his shoot higher, he was facing Asher who regained his balance from the push. He was flying in the air! That’s when Sabine’s loud voice filled my ears. “Shift,” Obediently, as if all he was waiting for was her command, Jacob shifted mid-air and a black giant wolf growled while it took form. My breath hitched as it jumped over Asher who was still in his human form. Thankfully, Asher was able to roll out of its way. Jacobs’s wolf was ferocious and the color only complimented his brutality. Loud snarls came from within him as he towered over Asher who looked enraged. The ground shook as he ran towards Asher and I was stu
