Alpha Asher
"I need... I need some time."
He turned and strode out of the room, ignoring the calls of the others behind him. His footsteps echoed down the hallway, each one louder than the last, until he burst through the door into the crisp night air. The forest loomed ahead, dark and silent, a haven from the chaos threatening to consume him.
Without hesitation, Asher broke into a run. His muscles burned, his lungs heaved, but he didn’t stop. The wind lashed at his face, cold and biting, as if trying to strip away the layers of pain and confusion that weighed him down.
