Arabella's PoV"Please tell me what would you have me do?"I fell on my knees again and crawled to them, raising my head to look into the eyes as I begged to be let in.I knew better than anyone but if they let me go, I would have no place to stay. One of the witches cackled. The one that was tall looked at her sister and then back at me. "Well you see we don't have anyone to cook for us and we also have no one to hunt for us, if we take you in, I would have to do those chores without complaint. We will provide a safe place for you to stay but you will be the one to determine how long you will stay by how hard you work""So in summary, what you want me to do is to cook and clean?" I had to be sure I was on the same page with them.Mary and Mary nodded. "Simple and straight to the point right?"Actually, it was easier than I thought. When they had demanded for me to do something for them, I had expected that I would have to sell my soul or perhaps even offer my child but listening to
Alpha Asher's POVI cleared my throat as I commanded the guard to let alpha Nick throughout. I sat comfortably on my throne. I was waiting for him. My finger created a rhythm with the handle of my chair as I took each breath, I was nervous but I wouldn't show it."I heard something funny and I came to check. Hopefully, it is not true" an ornery voice pierced through the silence of my halls. I could hear Alpha Nick nearby."Alpha Nick, it is a pleasure to have you here. To what do I owe this visit again?" I sprang from my chair and walked down my stairs to the common floor to meet him.Alpha Nick entered with about ten of his soliders behind him. Immediately he got in, I signaled my beta wolf to have twenty men wait outside our door.Alpha Nick came to a halt when he was inches away from me. He raised his chin and flared his nose while his eyes glared at me.I cleared my throat. I thought I had asked him a question."Do you mean tea or would you much rather prefer a glass of cold beer?
Arabella's PoVI had just finished cooking for the witches. My back ached, alongside everywhere else on my body. I screamed inwardly because of the pain I was facing but outside, I laughed. "What do you think of the meal?" I asked Mary. The Mary with less hair on her head. She cackled again and as I had come to learn, I understood that she liked it.I watched her dip her spoon inside of the plate of rice and scoop once.The other Mary did not bother to use a spoon. She ate with her hands and I stood there, watching her tilt the bowel while it was on the table. She looked contented and happy. I like watching her."I see you're enjoying your meal, Mary" I was the first to speak. It had been a week since I stayed with them. Time went by really fast in their coven. I went out to buy some ingredients for a meal and was told three days had passed in the outside world, I wondered how they managed to understand the time difference."You cook well– even better than we who are witches, you sho
Arabella's PoV:My jaw dropped when I saw Asher. Of all the people that could have appeared for me to train with, the witches chose Asher, the man my heart ached for. "What happened to using Alpha Nick to train with?" I yelled out in the open. I received a strong win as an answer. Of course they did want to train me in the most gruesome way possible, I could understand that."What am I supposed to do?" I asked my wolf quietly. Maybe she had some ideas on how I was meant to attack the situation.She did not answer but then, another voice answered.It was completely different from the voice my werewolf always answered with."Kill him"I stopped breathing to listen carefully."What did you say?" "You said you wanted revenge on your enemies, how about you start with the easiest of them all. Start with Alpha Asher. He would not be so hard on you""But…" my eyes wavered as I tried to search deeply in my mind for an excuse. "But I don't have a weapon. In this place you brought me to, I ca
Asher's POV:Alpha did not do as I had asked. Instead, he stopped and asked me to repeat myself."Didn't you hear what I said?" His guards held me down forcefully while I tried to move, "I said… Go and fuck yourself"I expected that to piss him off but instead
Arabella's PoVI fell on my bottom and crawled backwards. My eyes popped open . The man laying lifeless in front of me was Asher. The father of my unborn child. Oh no.It took about a second for me to catch my breath and recover from the shock before I finally crawled to him.I shook him."Asher! Alpha Asher!! Are you there?"His body was stiff and cold. I rolled him over completely and placed my hand on his chest. I closed my eyes and then let out an exhale, calming my thoughts, kneeling still beside him. I needed to feel a heartbeat."Come on Alpha Asher, you can not give up this soon. Stand up you bastard, don't you dare die yet!!"I yelled inside but managed to stay composed outside.It didn't take too long for me to feel a heartbeat. It was weak and took a little while to form but at least, it was there. I pulled my hands away and looked at his face. His eyes were closed and blood dripped from his mouth."You're still alive. Thank goodness"Thank the moon goddess for his sake, I
Arabella's PoVI thought she would say something bad but instead, what I heard her say was that he needed food."He is hungry '' were her words. I sprang from my feet, walked to her and stared deep into her eyes."So what you're saying to me is that he is okay and well. He is fine"She nodded. I covered my mouth to stop myself from gasping out loud."Thank you to both you and your sister. I never would have done this without both of you. I am so grateful. Thank you"I indulged her in a hug which she quickly tore away from. I tried again but then, she warned me not to do that again. I agreed.My mind lingered to where the witch was. "Is Mary still trying to clean his wounds?" I asked innocently.Mary laughed. She held her waist and laughed again."No, she's not. In fact, the thing is he is…."I did not bother to listen. She pushed past the witch and made her way to their house.I barged in, "Where is Asher? What is going with him?"Mary's back was faced to her. She was struggling wit
Arabella's POVBlood rolled down my shoulders as I bit my lower lip. The pain was intense and aching. I hissed as he pulled away and wiped his teeth. He looked more saddened that he had bitten into my skin than myself."Did it hurt?" I shook my head. Looking at the wound, it had begun to heal. I smiled at him."I'm fine"Alpha Asher wiped his mouth again and spat out. He came closer to me and engulfed me in his embrace. He squeezed me tightly and blew on my injury."You'll be fine. That's the last time your blood would be spilled, okay?"My chest felt a little relieved by his words. I smiled inside of me and nodded."Thank you"He moved from my shoulders to my face and asked if he could kiss me. I was shy about it but then, who could resist those lips?Alright.He was gentle about it as his lips touched mine with such calmness.It started out gentle but as I knew him even before he lost his Memories, he loved to be rough.We got rough for a little bit and then, slowly, he came back t
