A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 29: The Coincidences
Harper's POVI've barely slept in the past twenty-four hours. My body is exhausted, aching in pain when I move and I'm struggling to not fall asleep when I'm standing up. I don't think I've been this tired in my life, it's awful.Asher and I have been sitting at the dining room table for hours now, mostly in silence. Members of the pack managed to extinguish the flames on the tree and in our bedroom. They said nothing was badly burnt, aside from the area surrounding the window.I'm still shaken up by what happened. I can't wrap my head around how things like this are constantly happening to me, and now Asher. I'm trying to make sense of everything but it's almost impossible. These events are more than just coincidences."Are you okay?" Asher says into the silent morning, taking my hand into his.I shrug, "Every week I almost die," I joke, "So, how do you think I'm doing?"He places a gentle kiss on my knuckles, "I'm so sorry this keeps happening to you.""It's not your fault,"
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 30: The What If's
Asher's POV"Why do you two act as if you've only just met each other?"I frown at Jack's weird question, "Well, I met her not long before we got married."Jack shakes his head, clearly not happy with my response, "Yeah, but it seems more now than ever that you two are being more lovely dovey than when you got married."Jack and I are sitting on the porch drinking a beer. We had spent the afternoon playing soccer and sparring together. After a long training session like that we will sit on the porch watching the sun set with a beer in our hand. Most of the time we'll sit in silence due to exhaustion, but Jack has other plans for our quiet time."I don't know what you're talking about," I say, sipping on my beer."Lately you two have been smiling at each other more and going on picnic dates," He turns to face me, "It's like at first it was fake, but now it's not."I almost choke on the beer sliding down my throat. I cough and splatter; Jack watches me with cautious eyes."You'
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 31: The Arrival of Her
Harper's POVAnother pack is here? Surely Asher would've known if there was a pack planning to visit to conduct trading or other orders of business. But the look on his face reveals that he really doesn't know who is here.Asher moves to stand in front of me, blocking my view of Julius and Dean."Which pack is here?" His voice is firm."All I know is it's the Lunar Pack from the North," Julius says, placing his hands behind his back, "The Alpha wants to engage in some trading with you."I stare at Asher's back, unable to see his expression. I'm sure he's just as confused as I am."I wasn't informed of another pack coming here for trading purposes." Asher sounds annoyed.I peak around Asher's back to see Julius shrug, "That's all the information I have. They're waiting on the back porch."I hear Julius and Dean walk away, closing the door behind them. Asher sighs, turning to face me."Sorry about the interruption," he says, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.I smile, "Do
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 32: The Unspoken Words
Asher's POVI decided to invite Zoey and Drake over for a banquet to discuss the trading ideas they have in mind. The plan was to meet with them for breakfast, but my brain was still scrambled after their arrival yesterday, so I decided to push the meeting back for as long as I could.Harper has been quiet since we went to sleep. I can tell she thinks I still have feelings for Zoey but that is not the case anymore. Seeing her brought back a flood of memories, but after the way she acted it was clear she has also lost her feelings for me.Things with Harper are already complicated enough but having dinner with my ex-girlfriend who is pretending not to know me, and her husband, is a recipe for disaster. I can already tell something will go wrong tonight.Harper is standing in front of the full-length mirror behind the door, smoothing out the dark green silk dress she has on. It hugs all her curves in the right places and compliments the color of her hair."You look beautiful," I s
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 33: The Dinner Party
Asher's POVHarper returns to the table a short while later. I saw Zoey leave not long after; I hope they didn't run into each other in the hallway. I know Harper doesn't like Zoey, so them speaking alone could be bad.When Harper is seated, I lean over and whisper in her ear, "Did you happen to see Zoey in the hallway?"Drake had stepped outside to talk to a member of his pack just before Harper returned.Harper smiles, sipping on her wine, "And what if I did?"The way she is smiling indicates to me that she probably said some strong words to Zoey in the hallway. I know she won't tell me what she said but seeing her act this protective over me has my insides fluttering with excitement."You know I can handle myself, right?" I whisper back, placing my hand on her thigh.She turns to face me, a twinkle of mischief in her eyes, "I'm just making it clear to everyone that you're my husband."Drake and Zoey come back into the room; they look between Harper and I as they sit back d
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 34: The Secret Rendezvous
Harper's POVMy body feels groggy and heavy, like someone is pushing me into the mattress with all their weight. My head is pounding, and I struggle to open my eyes. I must've drunk heaps last night because my body only ever feels like this after one too many glasses of wine.When I manage to open my eyes, I see that the sun has only just risen, using its powerful rays to wake me. I groan, slowly lifting myself into a sitting position. The pounding in my head intensifies, so I use my fingers to rub at my temples in hopes it will make the pain ease enough to gather my surroundings."What happened last night?" I mumble, hoping Asher is awake to answer my question.When there is no response, I look over at his side of the bed. He must be awake already because his running shoes are missing. He went for a run without me. Maybe he assumed I would be hungover and incapable of running long distance.I swing my feet over the edge of the bed, ignoring the fact that I'm only in my underwea
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 35: The New Deal
Harper's POVFor some reason Drake and Zoey are still here. It's been three days since they arrived, and I still see some members of their pack floating around the compound when they're meant to be out in the woods looking for whatever materials they need.I just find it odd that despite Asher being blunt about them leaving immediately, they continue to walk around and take their sweet a** time getting what they need. Asher hasn't noticed it as much as I have. He's been busy with meetings and training, so most of his day is taken up. Whereas, I'm constantly moving around helping members with issues or having play time with the children, so I notice it more.When I brought the issue up with Asher, he assured me they'll be gone as soon as they get what they came for. I want to believe him, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the Lunar Pack came for something other than materials and supplies.I've been wanting to bring up the conversation Asher had with Zoey the other morning, but
A Marriage of Alphas Chapter 36: The Fight
Harper's POVAsher stands from the bed, never taking his eyes off me. He looks confused and worried."What's up? Have I done something wrong?" He asks, making his way over to me."I just ran into Drake in the hallway," I say, taking a step back from Asher to create some space between us, "He told me he saw you and Zoey in the woods yesterday afternoon declaring your love for each other."Asher's mouth drops open, "What?""He told me you two are planning on running away together.""That's bullsh*t!" Asher shouts, running his hands through his hair.I shrug, "I thought the same thing, too. But I didn't see you yesterday until that night. You could've been anywhere.""I told you where I was," Asher's voice is low now, "Why don't you believe me?"I throw my hands into the air out of frustration, "I don't know what to believe anymore."Asher begins to pace in front of me, "How many times have I told you I don't have feelings for Zoey anymore? You know my heart belongs to you now
