Alex waved at her goodbye once he was done talking to Asher and she waved right back. “C’mon, we have to get inside now” Asher said sternly and she knew better than to argue when he is in that mood. “Okay” she said and grab her basket of fruit. She too was staring to feel more than watched actually but telling Asher about it might mean she would never see outside again as he was ready acting insecure about her safety. He led her towards his chambers, hands in hands while she tries to make small talks with the man. Asher couldn’t help but smile at some of her jokes as they walk past a few pack members who kept throwing weird glances at her but couldn’t dare to make it obvious due to fear of how their Alpha might react. “Honestly?’’ Elizabeth asked just as they stepped into the room. Asher was telling her a story about when he was a little boy and how much he loved going to the stream during winter to bath in ice. She had no reason to doubt him. He is that harden, bathing in ice do

Beth's POV.Beth watched with hitched breath as Eva continued to check his pulse before she let out a sigh and turned to face them.“He seem more stable than before so I’m guessing the dose I gave him is working for him. So all we have to do now is watch him and see how he react, I mean, if at all he does”“Okay” Beth agreed with a nod before sniffing back her tears.“I have to go now but I will be back to check on him” “Okay. Thank you”While Alex walked Eva to the door, Beth stood beside Asher with fresh tears pooling at her eyes. She just couldn’t help but feel all this was her fault. If she hadn’t come out alone, Asher would have never been hurt.He got hurt because of her stubbornness and if he eventually survives this which she knew he would, he would never let her out ever again. That she was well aware of.She lifted a shaky hand to brush across the bandage on his arms gently. What if he didn’t arrived at the moment he did. Beth doubt she or the child would have made it out a

Beth's POV It’s been an hour since Asher left. Elizabeth knew sulking would do her no good so instead, she spent it busying herself with reading even though the thought of Asher kept invading her mind every second.She only had breakfast after Izzy help her with a bath and even braided her hair before leaving to carry on with her duty around the pack. Beth was still seating by the sofa when Asher walked in, looking worst than he left.He came to a stop when he noticed her just seating there and she looked up to face him briefly before her eyes darted towards the floor. Not sure she wanted to hear what he has to say to her this time, she can very much see the expression on his face.It’s obvious, he either had a bad day or still upset about what happened between them even though it was not her fault.From her peripheral, she could see him shift his weight from one feet to the next before she heard his voice called at her.“Hey” Asher said.She heard him loud and clear but kept acting

Beth POV.It was already dark into the night and Asher was still yet to return to the room. Beth sat by the sofa wondering if the Alpha was going to avoid her forever or return eventually. Even though she wanted him gone, she still couldn’t help but crave his presence in the room. She glance at the clock and sighed before getting up on her feet before making her way over to the bed.She crawled into bed and lay under the sheet, his scent immediately hitting her nose hard. She took a deep breath of it before exhaling slowly. She doesn’t know why but his aroma tend to calm the child within her whenever it was feeling restless.Minutes turned into hours as she lay there awake before she closed her eyes and was lured into a sound sleep with his pillow tucked into her arms.The next morning, She woke up and realized that Asher didn’t show up that night as the room was still the same way she last saw it last night and more so, his side of bed was still empty.She was saddened by this and ha

Asher’s POV. Asher pushed the door to his room open, steeping in to find Elizabeth and Izzy talking before they went absolutely silent when they saw him. Without being told, he knew he was their topic of discussion. Asher could clearly see the pain and sadness in her eyes even though she was barely making eye contact with him. “Hello” Asher said to Elizabeth before turning to acknowledge Izzy with a nod. “Greeting Alpha” Izzy said respectfully before rising up to her feet with a slight bow at his direction. “Beth, I'll see you tomorrow. Please take care of yourself” Izzy said, giving her hands a gentle squeeze. “Thank you” Elizabeth smiled. She shut the door gently behind her, leaving the duo. Elizabeth sighed, getting up on her feet before walking towards her closet to change and probably shower as well. Asher watched her try to shrug her jacket off and decided to help when it got entangled with her hair but before he could reach out a hand to touch her, she yelled at him. “
