All Chapters of Alpha Asher: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Olivia and Helen were returning from their last-minute shopping. The streets were quiet, with only a few cars passing by and the occasional pedestrian strolling along the sidewalks.Olivia had been living with Helen and Veronica for a week now, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. But tomorrow, they would be leaving this quiet town behind, flying to Alaska to start a new Chapter of their lives. Helen had been talking excitedly about their destination, describing the beauty of Wolf Creek, where her grandfather's lakefront house and café were nestled among the towering trees and rugged wilderness."You'll love it there, Olivia," Helen said as they walked towards the motel where they were staying. "The lake is beautiful, and the café—it's like something out of a storybook. My grandfather used to tell me stories about the wolves that roamed the forest nearby. He always said they were guardians of the land."Olivia smiled at Helen's enthusiasm, though a part of her couldn't h

Six years later*The boardroom was filled with the murmur of voices. Asher leant back in his chair, his gaze distant as the discussion swirled around him. For the past five years, he had thrown himself into work, chOlivialling his energy into building his pack's treasury, securing alliances, and expanding their power. It was a distraction, one that kept him from dwelling too much on the past and the girl that still haunted his dreams."The numbers look solid," one of the executives was saying, pointing to a series of charts displayed on the screen. "We expect the mine to start yielding profits within the next quarter."Asher nodded. He had built a reputation as a shrewd and calculating leader, someone who could make hard decisions without flinching. His father had stepped back from his duties years ago, leaving the day-to-day running of the pack in the capable hands of Luna Camilla and the business empire to Asher. Asher ensured that their accounts remained full. It was a delicate bal

"Yep," Lucas said with a grin that suggested he was completely serious. "Just you, me, and maybe a nice steak. What do you say?"Before Olivia could respond, Helen nudged her again, this time a bit harder, and whispered, "Say yes. Say yes right now."She smiled apologetically. "Maybe another time."Lucas had nodded, his smile faltering only slightly. "I understand. Maybe another time, Olivia?"She nodded, knowing full well that there wouldn’t be another time. She couldn’t let there be.As Lucas walked away, Kylian tugged on Olivia’s hand, his little face serious as he asked, "Mommy, is Lucas going to be my new daddy?"Helen burst out laughing, nearly dropping the plates in her hands, while Olivia’s face flushed crimson. "Oh, honey, no, it’s not like that," she said quickly, trying to keep her composure. "Lucas is just a friend, okay?"Kylian looked at her thoughtfully for a moment before nodding. "Okay, but if he brings more presents, I like him."Helen laughed even harder, and Olivia

Asher was here. She pressed her back against the door, trying to steady her breathing, but her mind was racing. How had he found her? After all these years, after all the precautions she had taken, how had he managed to track her down?Her hands trembled as she grabbed a blanket from the bed and wrapped it around herself."Calm down, Olivia," she whispered to herself, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "He didn’t see you. He doesn’t know you’re here."But the reassuring words did little to ease the tension coiling in her chest. Asher’s scent had been so close, so overwhelming, that it had nearly driven her wolf to the surface. If she hadn’t turned and run at the last second, he might have caught her scent, and everything would have been over.She sank down onto the bed, her mind spinning. What was he doing here? Was it a coincidence, or had he somehow figured out where she was hiding? It seemed impossible—she had been so careful, had stayed off the radar, and avoided any cont

The front door creaked open as Olivia stepped into the warmth of her home. It was a refuge, a sanctuary she had built for herself and Kylian, where the outside world and all its dangers seemed far away. But tonight, that sense of safety felt fragile.Before she could even set down her bag, Kylian came barrelling down the hallway, his little feet pounding against the wooden floor. "Mommy!" he cried, his face lighting up as he rushed towards her. In one hand, he clutched a crayon, and in the other, a piece of paper covered in colourful scribbles.Olivia’s heart softened at the sight of him, his innocent joy a stark contrast to the turmoil raging inside her. She knelt down, opening her arms wide as he crashed into her, wrapping his small arms around her neck in a tight hug."Hey, sweet boy," she murmured, pressing a kiss to his forehead. "What have you been up to?""Colouring with Helen," Kylian replied, his voice muffled against her shoulder. He pulled back just enough to show her his d
