All Chapters of Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Chapter 101: A Choice I HateAsher's POVThe clock in my office was ticking loudly, though I was not sure whether it was the sound of time ticking away or merely the sound of my heartbeat thudding in my ears. Everything around me felt empty as if suspended in a place that no longer belonged to me.Moonlight streamed through the windows up high, cutting across the darkness like judgment. It etched cold silver lines across the floor, across the desk, across the photographs gazing back at me from their frames. Cold silver lines, as well as a harsh contrast to the turmoil within my chest.I hadn't shifted in hours.My elbows were on the desk, my hands clenched together so hard my knuckles were pale. Spread out before me were reports—grievances from the border patrols, unsigned resignation letters from warriors, anonymous notes filled with venom and recrimination. But beneath it all, the same message ran clear and loud:The pack was falling out of my grasp.They didn't trust me any longer.

:Chapter 103: Something Is WrongZarina's POVThe night was heavy.I rolled over in bed for what felt like the hundredth time, gazing at the vacant space next to me.Asher hadn't slept.I thought at first that he was working late again in his office. But when I waited and waited, finally I got up, put on my robe, and crept down the hall to locate him.I didn't have far to go.The moment I pushed open the door to our bedroom, I caught sight of him already halfway down the hall, dressed in the dark shirt and pants, his expression impassive."Asher?" I whispered.He slowed, turned to me.His eyes weren't warm as they should have been. They were weary. Guarded."Don't you want to go to bed?"He paused. "No. I have something I need to attend to.""At midnight?" I widened my eyes. "Where are you going?""Just… some meetings," he replied too swiftly.Meetings? At night? At the middle of the week?That wasn't typical. He never stayed this late unless there was some kind of emergency. And eve

Chapter 103: Another Luna?Zarina's POVI woke up. Asher wasn’t beside me.Again.I reached out to touch the cold where he should be and looked up towards the ceiling. My heart was disturbed. It wasn't the first time he disappeared without a word. He's been doing that increasingly often. Leaving early. Returning late. Saying he's busy with "pack matters."But I could sense it. Something wasn't right.I got up from bed and went to visit the children. They were asleep, silently breathing beneath their blankets. I kissed both of them on their foreheads and smiled, but the smile never reached my heart. There was something within me that was shaking.I went downstairs to make tea. The house was silent, and there was time to think. Too much time.Why was Asher so late coming home last night?Why did he smell differently?His hug was not long. His words were soft but empty. He said nothing was wrong, but I could see in his eyes that he was exhausted. Or maybe it was more than exhaustion. Ma

Chapter 107: Control or ChaosAsher's PointThe moon hung above, its pale light bathing the world in silver. I stood outside Cara's house, fists clenched, my jaw tight. My wolf stirred restlessly inside me, agitated, distressed. I did not wish to be here. I did not wish to come back here again. But I did not have a choice.She pushed her luck too far.Zarina's suspicions were raised. She'd told me beforehand that Cara came to the pack house. She'd not said much, but the worry in her voice, the anguish in her eyes—I couldn't ignore them.Cara promised that she would remain silent. She promised this would stay between us.Promised and then went back onI knocked once. She opened the door like she was expecting me. Cara stood in one of her silky robes, her hair loose and her smile wide."Asher," she murmured, as if glad I was there. "I wasn't expecting you this evening."I stayed silent.I entered, brushing past her. The house smelled like flowers. and something else. Something intense.

Chapter 109: The Fall of TrustAsher's POVThe night was cold.I walked between the trees, the moon above, still and bright. My head felt heavy. My heart heavier.I had left to get some air, to think, to breathe—but now I simply felt lost. Everything was unraveling, and I had no clue how to make it all stop.Zarina was slipping away from me.The pack was whispering more than usual.And Cara… she was disobeying rules such as I told her to.I felt the weight of it all bearing down upon my shoulders.When I finally arrived at the pack house, something was… wrong.It was quiet. Too quiet.Usually around this time, there'd be some guard on duty out there, some omegas on cleaning rotation, perhaps some warriors still in training.But now, silence.I entered. The smell inside was different—blood, sweat, anger.I stood frozen by the hallway. That was where I saw Daren, one of the older warriors. He looked at me, then promptly turned away."Daren," I spoke, my voice level. "What took place her
