ASHER’S POV
“Alpha Asher”I hear my name as I try to tuck in my shirt. I turn sharply and run my eyes on Kyle. “Kyle..” I drawl in a husky tone. There’s this little blush that pushes in to my face.He is wearing a black suit as well. Kyle is my beta. He is young and I must say very vicious. He walks into the room while I strap my suit tightly to myself.“It’s about time”he smiles gently, observing my black sleek suit. I feel this extraordinary flush in of energy. I have waited for a very long time for this day and today it is here. As they say, destiny can be delayed but not denied.“I’d be right down in a minute. Is the whole pack gathered?“ I ask with a straight face. “Yes, Alpha” he says. This sits well with me. As much as people like warlock and Luna Matilda weren’t on my side, a few were. Kyle is among the few.“Okay.” I nod and he nods out. I walk to the mirror and stare at myself. Today is my Alpha crowning ceremony. I flicker my eyes and it’s amber. In a very short while, it wouldn’t remain that way. My mind tread backwards and I remember the alpha duel. I bring my right hand close to me and my claws slowly drag out. I know warlock won’t rest, but so won’t I as well.I walk out of the room, and as I descend on the stairs, my mind ride back to someone I saw during the alpha duel. I’m not sure who I saw, but there is a girl I saw with a mask. There’s something about her I really can’t place. She’s just odd and the way she stared at me, it felt as though she knew me. I don’t know why my mind is moving to that.My bold steps lead me to the lounge. There is soft classical music and indistinct chatter amongst the pack members. Being the alpha of the silver moon pack sure comes with a hell of responsibilities. Silver moon pack is the largest and strongest pack in the whole region and is respected by every clan.“Asher..” I turn to the left as soon as I hear my name. “Taika” I smile. She is wears a gorgeous smile, her face is radiant and sparkling. “I have been waiting for you” she grabs my hand and quickly lays hers lips on mine. I wasn’t expecting that and it feels a little off. She’s my mate, but then I feel a little odd.“You look gorgeous” i smirk with the aim to quickly divert her stare. She notices the way I am looking at her after the kiss.“Alpha Asher, it’s about time!” Elder Nathan calls out. I turn to him and nod sharp. I smile at Taika and pull my suit together. I walk up to the podium and some of the pack members cheer as I went up. I stand right beside elder Nathan who seems to be the oldest member of the pack. The classical music burns down and it’s time for business.Luna Matilda is at the forefront and my eyes locks with hers when I’m doing my alpha ceremony. After few minutes, I am done. My name has been inscribed on the silver rock. It’s a tradition of the silver moon pack that all names of Alphas are written on the silver rock. It’s said that it creates a link amongst the alphas. The first alpha of the pack was my great-great-grand father.Taika quickly rushes to the podium and nudges her shoulders to mine. I turn slurry to her and fake a wavering smile. There is just something off about her. I don’t know maybe I am overthinking it but she seems overly clingy. She grabs my hand and intertwines her fingers in mine.She clips it hard and I guess I have to do same.“Here is the silver blood” Elder hands me a small bottle. It’s the legendary silver blood. A lot of pack have tried to steal it as it gives the Alpha enormous strength. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Or rather eons.I grab the bottle and open it. I stare at it and sigh. Then simper at Taika who is smiling so broadly. I sigh and close my eyes.“Stop!!” I am startled. I flip my eyes with a frown. It’s the one person I haven’t seen since and actually isn’t intrigued to see.Warlock.We both look at each other and there is faint murmur amongst pack members. He scowls and clench his fist as he walks to me. I gnash my teeth and tighten my fist as well. I know Warlock never comes for peace. I can see right though his maniacal eyes that he hasn’t given up on the title. But as usual, I am ready for whatever he brings…IVY’S POVMy heart is pummeling so fast and hard. My body hair is tingling. I move from the bed and check my wardrobe, hurling my clothes from the hanger to the floor. I still can’t find my money.My feet is cold and there is this unexplained snap in my heart. I still can’t understand what is happening. How is this even possible? My life savings gone like that without a clue.I wobble with my eyes rolling from one uncertain point to the other. “No.. no..” i fall on the floor with a heavy thud. Tears rolls out from my eyes and mixes with my sweat. I clench my fist and drag my hair. I pick up the empty piggy bank on the bed and stare at it. It’s still empty. “How… how is this even possible?” I wail under my breath and squeeze my eyes. The dust on the floor gums with my skin. I send down heavy saliva and free my grasp from the piggy bank. It falls on the floor and so does my head. I relax my head on the floor and just allow tears escape by the sides of my eyes. This is beyond me. I do
ASHER’S POVWarlock still pierces his eyes on me. His gaze is heavy and I know he is Not here for peace. His round big eyes shows disgust. He clips his lips together and muscles his cheeks. He takes a more bolder step towards me, facing me directly in the face. I remain static and we both gawk at each other. There is a dead silence in the whole room. The only thing I hear I s heartbeats.“Congratulations, Brother” he smiles and offers a hand shake. My eyes quirks for a second. The murmuring erupts back again. “I know we haven’t been best of brothers, but I’m sorry for wanting to take what is yours, brother” he adds.I look at his hand with my eyes a little tightened. I look back at him and again down to his hand. “ what do you think you are doing, Son?” Luna Matilda’s voice pricks. Warlock and I turn at the same time at her. Her face is scowled and contorted. “Mom, it’s all over. We are the ones at the wrong.” He folds his hands facing her. “Please just allow me make things right th
IVY’S POV“ I surely have to leave” I whisper under my breath as I pack my stuffs. It’s afternoon of the next day. I can never allow myself to be a servant to Taika. I’d rather die running away than be her slave. I have nothing but just 100 rubbees. With that, I’d pay for my transportation. Catering for myself after that is not my problem for now. I just want to leave this place as the bad energy is too weighing.I drag my photo and place it on top of my already folded clothes. I inhale and sigh heavily. My plan is to leave in the night of today. Today is Asher’s Alpha ceremony.Everyone’s attention will be diverted to that since Taika is his Luna I’m sure they’d be attending the ceremony. Anytime I think of it, it rends my heart. It seems this unclear rejection from Asher has broken Sabrina because she rarely speaks to me of lately. I zip my bag and and hurl it to the left side of my bed. I grab the sides of my waist with my hands and sigh deliberately with my eyes shut. I really ca
ASHER’S POVMy bulge gets more stronger and harder as I look at Taika’s endowment.“Why did you say no?” She inquires with her eyes broadened. She gets up from the bed and walks towards me. Her breast shaking and vibrating like water on every step she made. I swipe my eyes away from it and focus it back on her. “Nothing. Just feel a little tired” I push in this excuse. The truth is I feel quite nonchalant about making out with her. I don’t understand why, but I just feel so. Damian is also in cohort with me on this.“Tired? This is our wedding night, Asher” she places her hand on my shoulders, intertwine her fingers behind. Her eyes are very brightened and encaging. I sigh and her lips keeps luring me towards an uncertain direction. “I know, but then lets do this some other time.” I shrug and try to break myself way from her grasp. I hold her hand and raise it up to enable me escape.“Asher” she calls and holds my hand as I walk pass her. Her hand is even more softer than earlier. H
TAIKA’S POV“Fuck!!” I grab the bedsheets and broaden my chest. My whole body is vibrating. I pick up one of the pillows which is right beside me and throw it. It falls inches away from the bed.I really needed to make Asher to fuck me and also mark me. It’s really important it happens very soon but he just had to fucking leave for a goddamn reason I don’t even know. I relax my butt back on the bed and shake my head in disappointment. I have managed to get married to the one person I have loved since I knew he would become the alpha of the silver moon pack. I look at my dangling tits and it infuriates me the more. I snatch my shirt which is down on the floor and wear it. I stand up from the bed and pick my pants. I wear it angrily, fuming with rage. “He just had to fucking leave now!!” I drag my hair and grind my teeth. Anyways, I think I am going to use this opportunity to kill another bird. I am going to see Penelope. We have a lot to discuss because I am finding this a little ta
IVY’S POV“It’s time to go” I whisper to myself in my dark room. I had attended the crowning ceremony and marriage ceremony of Asher and Taika. Asher didn’t stop staring at me, or rather I’d say I didn’t stop staring at him. He isn’t my mate, but I don’t know why I feel this connection with him. I don’t even know what it is, but there is a connection. I had to slip away when he continued looking at me. Seeing him with Taika broke my heart more and more than it is already broken. I was with my mask so at least he didn’t see my scary face. I rushed out of the gathering back here because I noticed Taika realized he was looking towards my direction. I don’t want any more complications with her. Everybody is at the ceremony and just a few pack members are left home and unfortunately my mom as well is home. I have to leave tonight. I don’t care that I don’t have money, but any way is a way. I have already packed my bag the last time so I’m just waiting for the best time to scram. It’s now
ASHER’S POV“Who are you?” I ask, standing right behind someone. I had left the massacre scene, strolling around to see if maybe I’d find something that can lead me to who is doing this brutalization. I picked a scent and followed it. It led me straight here even though it was really hard to catch who has It.“I said who are you?” I snarl again and move further. The person remains mute, backing me. I’m at alert, watching his or her every move. I don’t know if it’s a male or female. The person slowly turns and my eyes falls on her. Yes, it’s a she now. I can’t quite clearly get her face, but from her physique, I’m quite certain it’s a girl. “For the last fucking time, Who are you!?” I pressure more and take a step closer, the rustling leaves making a sharp ear itching sound.She moves backwards and bends down abruptly. She flips the log on the ground at me. I’m not really expecting it. It’s directed to my face, but I use my fast reflexes to dodge it. She has something in her hand as
Taika’s POV I return home late in he night after visiting Penelope. I tip toe into the room. My heart beats hard because I know Asher might know that I’m back.I grab the door and push it slowly. My eyes is closed and one prayer point of mine is that the door shouldn’t creak. It seems the moon goddess is in alignment with me this time because the door doesn’t squeak. I clamp my teeth together and make the first step into the house. I sniffle but I don’t get a scent. I raise my brows and free my muscles.I waltz into the room more bold. I place my hand on the bed, there is nobody. “Asher” I call but there is no response. “Fuck” I cuss and wag my head. I sit on the bed and place my forehead in my hands. And where can he be at this time of the night?I ponder on my main threat, Ivy. My plan was just to kill her if not that Penelope had told me some weeks back that I need her or else the spell on Asher is not going to work.I recline on the bed and close my eyes. How the hell am I going t
