ALPHA ASHER’S POVWar was coming, and everyone knew it. It was in the air, I could sense it. It was very close, although it wasn’t happening yet. My father had been pissed when he heard about the death of the guards at the Pack boundary but he wasn't bothered so much about them.But he lost it when he was informed about the guards who Alpha Asher had killed in the Palace. Those were his best warriors and there was no speculation as to when he would get guards like that from this Pack. The only thing we had to do at the moment was to train the men we have while making arrangements to buy a large army, half of which will storm Alpha Asher’s Pack and retaliate.I don't know what my father had up his sleeve this time, he wouldn't let me know what he was planning but it was a very big, bad thing. And Alpha Asher surely wouldn't be able to defeat him once he was fully prepared. He was already making arrangements to complete everything during the day, have them reject their Packs and join ou

ALPHA ASHER’S POVThere were at least sixteen men sitting in the room. A skull filled with ink was also right in front of me, on top of the table. Five empty chairs were at the other end of the long table while the rest were filled.The empty chairs would have contained the council wjo had just been killed and I could see the perplexity on their faces faces they sae that the seats meant for the council men were empty. We started the meeting anyway another having having explain to them what had happened.They would soon discover what had happened themselves. I began to talk to them about the several threats we had faced since I had made it known to them that there would be a war and haow we had faced some infiltration in the Pack border lately.They nodded their heads in approbation ad I explained every single thing to them. After that I had to thank them for the cooperation so far, how how had dedicated the week to training the new recruits while making sure themselves themselves the

LIA'S POV.My senses seemed to return at full force, I jerked up from my bed and began to breathe furiously with my heart pounding in my chest. Memories began to flash in my mind. I remembered everything that had happened to me, everything Alpha Ryan and his cruel father had done to me.How he had tied me to that post with my legs spread wide how he had raped me mercilessly and made sure Alpha Ashe caught us in the act. I was still surprised that Asher had been merciful enough enough listen to me and still love me. I thought he would have disposed of me immediately or that he would have even allowed me to stay back at the Pack with him since he deified me.I knew that if he hurt Ryan, Alpha Lance would do practically anything to get back at him and that was why I needed him not to touch Ryan. He was a spoilt brat who was always fought for. He couldn't even defend himself against an ordinary Psck guard, I wonder how he would be able to lead the Pack even though he had such a large arm

LIA'S POV"Sure, of course. I can, at least I am no longer afraid of them. Everything feels pretty much better now, even though I still get those recurring dreams." I said, glancing at him. I was very surprised at the way my body had responded to treatments lately, despite the nagging pain that I felt in my neck.It felt like it had been opened and a part of me had been taken out. I wondered if I had undergone some kind of surgery but I kept it to myself. Asher probably wouldn't be happy if I asked too many questions considering my present condition. He had been through a lot because of me, and he was even willing to do more because of me.Nobody had ever lived me that way. And I never envisaged that my mate would be an Alpha, talk more of being this protective. I concluded at the end that I was very lucky. Where I got baffled was that he still did all this 4ven after what Alpha Ryan made him see when he had come to rescue me.I was surprised as well when he opened up to me, telling t

LIA'S POVThe bed and the sheets dipped the kkemnt he stood up to leave. Also, the feeling of warmth that had surrounded me suddenly seemed to disappear even though the room had grown quite hot at the moment. I turned immediately towards him and asked."Where are you going?" I pouted as he was smiling."Got some things to take care of about the war." His raspy voice said before he looked back at the door."But you said that things were already OK Because I had rejected his Pack. Isn't that what you said to me?" I asked him while introspection if that's what he had actually said. And it was. There was nothing else he had said to me back then. He soon began to explain himself, which made me breathe out a frustrated sigh."Yes you have rejected him Pack but we still have to make sure that the Pack is protected. We won't be as strict as before, so there won't be much work. Just a few things that would lure them and that's all." He said, slowly walking back to the bed. He sat gently beside
