Chapter 21

Asher's POV "Alpha Asher," Daniel called, walking towards me."The elders are waiting for you," He relayed and I nodded, turning to Abigail."Daniel will take you back to your room and I'll come immediately I'm done here," I said but she stared at me, worry filling her eyes."I—i can go with you, if you need to face them and talk to them, I can stand with you," She offered.I reached out, brushing a stray strand of hair behind her ear, my gaze holding hers. She was brave—braver than anyone gave her credit for. But I couldn’t let her walk into that room, not yet."I know you would," I said softly. "But this is something I need to handle alone—for now.""Her lips parted like she wanted to argue, but she stopped herself, nodding reluctantly."I just don’t want you to fight for me alone," she whispered, her voice barely audible.I cupped her cheek. "You’re not alone, Abigail. You never will be again. But let me face them this time. Let me show them where I stand.""She gave a small nod,

Chapter 22

Ashers POV That silenced them again. The weight of their judgment still hung in the air, but none of them had more to say. Not yet.I turned on my heel, heading for the door. I paused, hand on the handle.'Oh—and prepare the warriors. Tonight. We train, we strengthen, we guard what’s ours. Let the hunters come. We’ll be ready.""And with that, I stepped out of the room—ready to fight for everything I had, even if I had to do it alone."Abigail..." I muttered at the sight of Abigail at the door.Abigail stood in the doorway, chin high, though I could see the tremble in her fingers as she clenched them at her sides."What are you doing here?" I asked and she let out a tense smile, pushing her way into the room."Talk of the devil," one elder muttered under his breath.The others shifted uncomfortably, eyes darting between her and me."I know this isn’t the best time," she began, her voice steady despite the storm in her eyes, "but I love Asher."The words hung in the air like thunder.

Chapter 23

Christopher's POV "Asher thinks it's over. But it's not. I'll show him what I'm made of. I'll make sure he loses Abigail."I muttered bitterly as I stormed into my room, the rage in my chest barely contained. The moment the door slammed behind me, I halted in surprise.My mother was already there, sitting gracefully on the edge of my bed, like she'd been waiting for me."Mother?" I blinked. What could she possibly want?She turned to me with that signature calculating smile of hers. That smile meant only one thing: she had a plan. And if there was one thing I could always count on, it was that Mother never planned to fail. "You're back early," she said softly, folding her hands on her lap."I couldn't stand watching Asher parade around like he owns the world. Like Abigail belongs to him. He's stolen everything from me. My respect, he has humiliated me." I started pacing the room. I tried to place my hand on my chin, but the sting I got reminded me of the beating I had received from

Chapter 24

Amanda's POV"I must leave... before he comes back to kill me."I whispered the words aloud, barely recognizing my own voice. My hands trembled as they cradled my bruised stomach. The pain in my body was nothing compared to the agony twisting in my heart."Christopher is a monster... how could he hit me? How could he strike me knowing I'm carrying his child?" I whispered, a tear slipping down my cheek."No...."A bitter laugh almost escaped my lips, but it died just as quickly. I pressed my back to the cold wall, closing my eyes for a moment."He doesn't love me. I know that. I've always known that. But he could've at least shown some compassion. Not for me... but for our unborn children. But no, his pride, his obsession with Abigail, it means more to him than life, than family."I opened my eyes and stared around the room, the lavish prison I'd been trapped in for months. It was beautiful on the outside, but it held no warmth. No safety. No love. Just lies. Just fear."I can't stay h

Chapter 25

Abigail's POVAmanda had always been known for her deceptive skill, so it was quite hard for me to trust her when Daniel came to me. Looking at her from the window, I could see it in her eyes, this time, she wasn't lying. She was desperate. My heart skipped a beat at the thought that she might have changed. 'She possibly couldn't have changed in just a few days,' I thought, narrowing my eyes. 'Maybe she's just a great actress…' I shrugged the thoughts away. I didn't have time to second guess my instincts.Her voice rang out again, loud and broken. She screamed my name like her life depended on it, and maybe it did. 'Maybe I should hear her out… give her the benefit of the doubt,' I muttered to my wolf, letting out a breath. 'She wouldn't be able to harm us after all.'"Let her speak," I commanded, my voice echoed with authority. Daniel hesitated for only a second before releasing her. Amanda fell to her knees instantly, her shoulders slumped in exhaustion or surrender, I couldn't

Chapter 26

Abigail's POV "Abi..." Her final whisper faded as her eyes closed. Before I could even react, Daniel had already struck the killing blow to our attacker.I stood frozen, unable to believe what I was seeing. Blood spattered across my clothes, warm and sticky against my skin. 'What have I done? Why did it have to be her?' Thoughts raced through my mind as I dropped to my knees beside Amanda. Her breathing was slow but she was alive. The gunshot wound was deep but had miraculously missed her vital organs. I needed to get her to medical help immediately."Why would she do this?" I whispered, cradling her head. "We weren't even friends. Why risk her life for mine?"I had hated Amanda for the cruel things she and Christopher had done to me. I'd wanted revenge; to make her suffer tenfold for the pain she caused, but I never wanted her dead. Never this.Christopher's ambush party was being killed off around us. Dawn was approaching, and I needed to return before Asher discovered I was gone.

Chapter 27

Daniel's POVI could see the smile beaming from Asher's face... he was so happy. I had never seen him smile like that, not since I've known him, and that's been a long time. He was truly happy with Abigail.His plan had worked.I had never imagined it could. Fighting a war against the wolf hunters head-on had always seemed like a death sentence. But Asher, he had crafted a brilliant plan, something no one dared to consider possible.When he first brought it up, even I had doubted it. The sorcerers were powerful, too powerful, and they didn't concern themselves with our wars. They did their own bidding. But for the first time, they were fighting beside us.Wolves and witches... united. It still sounded impossible even now, watching it unfold. Asher had planted the seed, but it took more than just hope to make it happen.When I first met with the Sorcerer Supreme, he refused. Cold and without empathy. He wanted no part of our affairs.I was persistent, but that wasn't enough either.It

Chapter 28

Asher's POV'We won... we were outnumbered, outmatched, but we won.' I smiled faintly, blood drying on my skin, the battlefield littered with the groans of the wounded. Though it pained me that Christopher had gotten away, I knew deep down... the war was over.I took a step forward, facing the remnants of Christopher's pack. Their faces were torn between fear and confusion, the pain of betrayal by their Alpha heavy in their eyes."Your Alpha, the one you placed your faith in, has run away. He left you to die on the battlefield," I said, voice loud and firm, echoing across the clearing. "There's no honour in dying for a coward. If you wish to live, if you wish to belong to a future, lay down your weapons and stand with me. I will protect you. I will lead you. From now on, I will be your Alpha."A tense silence followed... then a voice rose from the crowd."He abandoned us!" a tall, muscular wolf with a scar across his cheek shouted, stepping forward. "Christopher promised us victory, p

Chapter 29

Asher's POV"She was sound asleep." I took one more glance at her before sitting back on the chair."What was that mysterious power I felt earlier? It was ominous and dark." I couldn't believeAbigail possessed such strong powers.For the first time in a while, I felt terror in my veins. A destructive power was what my matepossessed. I had vowed to protect her, but this time she protected me. She tried to avenge me,thinking I was going to die. She risked herself for me.I took one more look at Abigail, walked closer to her, and planted a kiss on her lips. The woundon my chest stung a bit, but it was bearable.The wizard Zed had given me a sort of potion which helped me in removing the bullet andreducing the pain. I was lucky to have held her back in time thanks to the wizard's help.I was lucky to have stopped her from being a killer. Surprisingly, all the other people she foughtwho were injured and didn't have a vital injury."Asher," I heard her call, finally waking up from

Chapter 30

Abigail's POVIt has been two days since the battle with the wolf hunters. I haven't gone out much. The sun is shining, the environment lively, but there is a strange heaviness in the air.As I walk past a group of children and smile warmly at them, a woman rushes over, grabbing them quickly and pulling them away. She shoots me a dark look. I try not to take it to heart. Maybe she is just having a bad day.But the more I walk, the more I feel something is off."That's her... the Vampire hybrid," I hear someone whisper.My heart clenches."What was the Alpha thinking, bringing a vampire as his mate?""We detest them... why is she still here?"Their voices echo around me, one harsh murmur after another. Each word strikes deeper than the last.I can feel myself slipping into that cold, lonely place again. They hate me.Memories of the torment Amanda and Christopher put me through come flooding back. "It's happening all over again... whenever I find peace, whenever I dare to feel love, it
