ALPHA ASHER’S POV"What do you think William, how long do you think this is going to go because I would have to calm Lia down before she goes out of her fucking mind." I asked him, gazing at the activity down in in sidewalk. There were a few men there, moving something towards their camps shouting after one another. One man was at the edge, commanding them with yells. "What did she say this time around?" He asked, looking at me steadily. "She thought her rejecting Lance would bring the war war an immediate end, but I told her it wouldn't. And somehow somehow she flared, so I'm guessing she is upset at the moment" I replied him, gazing back at him. A smile crossed his features as turned back to look at the movement downstairs. "Under normal circumstances, it should. But you know Alpha Lance is not the kind of person who will bend to any man. He will make sure he does everything possible possible to back his pound of flesh. Bit anything is possible though, he should be devastated at

ALPHA ASHER’S POV "Good" I said before walking out of the room. There was no other place to go apart from Lia's Chambers. I needed to be with her every now and then to make sure that she was OK. Each time I remembered what those bastards had done to her, my heart clenched with hate. And the thought of killing the both of them never left my head. From there I trudged towards where my mate was, I knew she wouldn't be up by now but I still went. When I got there the guards were still standing guard. Acknowledging a second time again, I walked into the room. The warmth wrapped around my body immediately, exterminating every atom of coldness on my body. I shivered at the feeling and walked to the seat in front of her where I sat down and began to watch her. She was fast asleep. After a few minutes I got bored and felt like leaving but there was no other place to go apart from here. I tried my best to ignore the sick mate bond that has been disturbing me ever since she got up from the ho

ALPHA RYAN'S POV'So what do you want to do, huh? You want to go there. You can take your army there, but I won't forgive you when they bring back your ashes. Things could have been easier and soft if not because of your foolish decision to keep her. Now they are already step ahead of us. What do you want me to do?" He thundered at me before walking back to his bed. He sat there, glaring into.the distance before glancing at me.I would have been dead if looks could kill. The kind of power his look carried could bore through a person's soul. I swallowed and answered."All this went wrong the moment you chose to keep everything to yourself, you would not tell anyone about your next plan. You never consulted me or told me anything about how you were preparing for the war. You kept everything to yourself and you are now blaming me in the end. What do you want me to do about it?" I returned, feeling a bit tense about his next response. I was expecting him to hit me again considering the am

ALPHA RYAN."Besides he's an old man already. We have two generals and I'm sure both of you can take care of that. Am i right?" I asked, glaring at him."Of course your grace, the both of us can take care of the boys." He said, which made me smile. He would have made the biggest stake of its life by saying no.Turning around, I began to walk back towards the Packhouse, my strength utterly drained. I do not understand why things were going on this way but one thing I knew for sure was that it was happening for a good reason. I couldn't get myself to understand why my father was taking the decision he had already made.It came out of nowhere and it was drastically going to change everything but there was no problem with it since everything was happening a day before they would leave, so I'm guessing they had already received the training they needed and he must have thought them everything everything everything needed to now about the Pack we were going to besiege tomorrow.If things go

ASHER'S POV.The soft light at the end of her bed was gradually burning out. And the winds of dawn were gradually blowing across the Packhouse. I shuddered before rubbing my palms intensely, warming my cheeks before looking back across the room for any signs of my Beta. He wasn't there, I guessed he was somewhere in the camps, gathering the warriors and having them do the final preparations so we could go to the boundary. We had already removed word from our spies that they left last evening, and were on their way. I sighed, wondering what the outcome of the war would be. This was my first great war, and I wasn't going to lose it.As I sit across from Lia, I can feel the mate bond between us growing stronger with each passing moment. It's almost overwhelming, this intense desire to be with her, to touch her, to feel her soft skin against mine. I try to push these thoughts to the back of my mind, knowing that I have a duty to fulfil.But it's so hard. Every fibre of my being wants to
