Ash Betrayed Novels & Stories

She said. I didn't feel very comfortable because her gaze lingered too long on me, like she couldn't take her eyes off me. “I'm so glad you returned, Gracie. You wouldn't believe it if I told you I missed you." I smiled, and looked away, not sure what to say. “Asher even became a shadow of himself after you left. He was so moody and depressed." “He had issues with his friends at school then." I quickly said. It wouldn't be fair of her to attribute that to me. Wasn't that the period he puked on Xena?

Ash replied taking a seat in front of him, he didn’t look good and had a sad expression on his face which Brent picked up easily. “Where is Livey?” He asked next and He shaked his head. “Did something happen to her?” Gamma Brent was worried for Livey not knowing that Ash was the one who needed help. “She rejected me” Ash blurted out and his jaw dropped in shock, he wanted to ask him again but the sad look on Ash’s face wouldn’t let him try so he had no choice than to believe him. “Why would she do such a thing, she loves you man” he stated.

“Don't you get it darling? You caused us elites a lot of trouble and we're going to make you pay, and it's going to hurt…very, very badly.” I burst into tears, my only reaction at that moment, I looked up at their sneering faces as they laughed at me. They looked like monsters closing in on me, leading their sacrifice to the altar. Sasha kept their promise and that night, they broke me in multiple ways. Everyone I ever thought was on my side had turned on me, in the end, I was alone…Sasha, Layla, Peter…even him, he was part of this. As I went through hell, my mind automatically flitted back to the beginning, to how it all started.

“Don’t make this any harder than it already is.” Asher stared at her, his face a picture of disbelief and despair. He struggled to reconcile the reality of what he was hearing and seeing. The betrayal was not just in Kiara’s words but in the familiar features of her face and the sound of her voice, both now foreign to him.

Sebestian pivoted on his heel and studied Ashly, his eyebrows rising. "You know how hard it is for me to trust anyone with all my heart," Ashly said. She shook her head and looked away from Sebestian, out at the skyline. "After Allen, Alex was the first, but he betrayed me. I want him to know I've never forgiven him. But for Adom, I will do anything; even if I have to act lovely and dovey to Alex, I will do that." Alex's breath caught in his throat, and he ducked back down behind the planter. Ashly words rattled around in his head, and pain pulsed in his chest. His inner alpha was wailing in despair.

"My hand... will I still be able to shift?" Alpha Asher demands viciously, "Dad, Mom, see? This is the Mate you chose for me. A murderer!" After the pain comes dizziness, ears ringing. Lucy roars in my mind, wants to tear them apart. Watching Alpha Asher's grief-stricken face, like the whole world betrayed him, I don't even think. I slap him back. Twice. With everything I have. "Don't worry. Starting today, I'm not your problem anymore." "I, Rhea, reject you, Asher, as my Mate."

There was no reason for a betrayer to look like he was carved out the statue of a greek god. She had to put significant mental effort to remove her eyes from him, but when it landed on her son she found herself even more unable to look away. In the presence of new people, Asher was a stone faced child. Her heart had shattered more than once upon hearing her baby called abrasive. But right now… He was stealing glances at Aston, and with each glance he adjusted his posture till his legs were also crossed, even though he was just eating and didn’t need to sit right.

Yet, despite the rationality of it all, I couldn’t shake the feeling of betrayal. It was a physical ache to think that I had fallen in love with her, of all people. Where had I gone wrong? I had poured my heart into our relationship, ensuring her comfort and well-being. And this was how she had chosen to repay me? The pain in my chest was all-consuming. “I will reject her! Reject her! Reject this bond!” Ash’s declaration echoed through my mind, his howl of pain carrying through the forest as he leaped in frustration.

Alethea I suck in a breath and slowly shake my head in denial, my voice barely a whisper. "No… this can't be true." The memory of that night rushes back, how the mate bond had overwhelmed us, how neither of us had thought about protection. It was like being caught in a trance, completely unable to control ourselves. Now, reality comes crashing down, and my heart sinks. Asher rejected me. He made it clear I wasn’t what he wanted. What will he do when he finds out about the baby?

It isn’t. It might be. The Bratva war isn’t over. Asher has nearly died more than once. I know there’s tension between us. His need to achieve revenge and my pitiful hope that we can have a future without more bloodshed are in conflict. “You’re perfect,” he whispers, shutting me off from my internal demons. I can’t ignore his eyes darkened by lust. He holds me close, bending me to him until our ribs are interlocked. A tornado couldn’t rip us apart.
