Asher
“Her? Who’s her?” Blondie demanded, her face turning the color of her dress as she glared at me.
I peered back at her clueless, not sure why I said that crap out of nowhere. I was sweating hard, my heart slamming against my chest and there was a weird sensation, an unspoken need that made my skin prickle and my veins almost about to pop with frustration.
“I…” I rubbed my face and as much as I really needed to fuck the life out of someone at the moment, the idea of touching the blonde didn’t feel appealing.
And it blew my mind because the blonde was exactly the kind of woman I usually desired. I knew when I stripped her dress off, I would be greeted with expensive, sexy lingerie underneath. I knew she would be the one who would moan so loudly that probably both my brothers two doors away could hear her. I knew she would let me fuck her, however I wanted the moment my fingers touched her. I knew all her responses down to the t, so I knew exactly what moves to pull.
Because that’s how it always has been for me. No woman has ever challenged me, not even once. Most weren’t fierce enough in character and others would do anything I asked of them because they wanted not just my dick but the power of the legacy attached to my name.
“I what?” the blonde asked.
“I…need you to leave,” I mumbled, opening the door for her.
“What?” she exclaimed, looking pissed. I hoped to the Moon Goddess she wouldn’t make a scene in the middle of the night. It was a bad idea bringing her here.
“I am not in the mood anymore,” I grumbled.
“Uh, I don’t think so,” she said, her eyes dropping to the bulge in my jeans.
“It’s not because of you,” Mac commented sarcastically. I didn’t even want to think who or rather whose thoughts led to that.
“Listen, I am sorry…but will you please just go? It’s late. If you want, I can ask someone to drive you home,” I said and tried my best to not sound respectful. I had no idea where she lived.
“You are an asshole,” blondie hissed. “Wait till I let my father hear about this!”
Oh, for fuck's sake.
“You will tell your father that you were planning to let some random man fuck you and now you are upset because he didn’t? Who is your father, anyway?” I asked, just out of sheer curiosity.
“Alpha Helius of YellowStone pack,” she spat, but then some sort of realization hit her, making her mascara covered eyes widen. “Wait…you don’t even know my name, do you?”
Crap.
“Uh, sure…” I shrugged. What was the point in trying to hide, anyway?
“Oh my god, you are such an asshole. That’s why you have been calling me baby and sweetheart all night. Because you don’t remember my name! I am so going to tell my father about this and let him know what a piece of shit the almighty alpha of GrayCrest is, you prick!” I didn’t respond, quickly moving aside as she stormed out, grumbling to herself.
“Good riddance,” Mac muttered.
“If you pulled this shit again, I am going to punish you…do you understand?” I snapped at my wolf.
“You think I did that?” he grimaced. “No Asher, that wasn’t me. That was you and the bond. And this isn’t the first time you haven’t felt like doing it with someone else, is it? You have felt this way since the first time you met her two years ago. But you kept denying it and kept doing what you always do, even if it's not working anymore. She is the one you want, Asher. Admit it!”
“Shut the fuck up!” I sneered, stripping off my clothes and heading straight to the shower. I needed to clear my head and take care of my hard-on. Sadly, it doesn’t understand the complexities I was wound up in.
“You cannot fight the bond. The harder you fight, the worse it will get. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when this realization truly hits you,” he responded. I ignored him and realized I was going to do this a lot in the upcoming days as I turned on the shower and stepped under the warm torrents.
It soothed the irritation in my body, but not the one inside. Grunting, I wrapped my fingers around my cock and squeezed hard before moving them up and down as fast as I could. The pleasure started to build when I increased my pace, but still it wasn’t even close enough to what I craved. And I didn’t even want to think about what exactly was that. I grunted, unable to believe I let go of such an opportunity to get laid and am now jerking off in the shower.
All because of one random woman who popped out of nowhere in my life.
The next morning, I woke up to a soft knock on the door. And I was about to shoot out some profanities as I opened the door, but the person who stood outside wasn’t someone I can ever shout at. “Rosie,” I groaned, rubbing my eyes, glad that I was wearing some clothes. “Good morning,” my sister-in-law smiled, holding up a steaming coffee mug in her small hands. “Thought you would need it after all the partying last night,” I moved aside as she walked inside and placed the coffee mug on the side table, then flopped down on the bed, patting the space beside her. Wide awake now, I sat down and gave her a smile. I dearly love both Cora and Rose, but this one, she holds a teeny bit more of a special place in my heart. Rose was younger than us at twenty-three, but she was one of the strongest women I have ever met and the most perfect mate for my brother. My heart warmed when she peeked up at me with that sweet smile, green eyes shining. “You look older, Ash,” she said, running her palm o
IvyHis fingers slipped inside my shorts while his naked body pressed down on mine. Skin to skin touching, the warm, masculine scent—a concoction of leather, bourbon and cedar wood, seeped into my senses. “You really can’t hide from me,” he whispered in my ear as his deft fingers pushed through my wet folds and found their way inside me. “Oh…” I moaned, my fingers curling into his curls as he pushed his finger deeper and deeper inside me. “See? You want me…” I bit my lip hard as he pulled at my lobe. “Then why do you keep fighting me?” “Don’t to…touch me…” I groaned, not meaning a single syllable. “I can pleasure you like no one can,” I was close, his fingers hitting all the right spots. “I can make you scream…” “Please…stop,” I moaned. “I can fuck you like no one ever has…” So close…I was so so close. “You know why…?” “Asher…” I clenched his hair tighter as he pushed me closer and closer to the edge.
Ivy“You are late, warrior.”What in the Goddess's name was he doing here? But he was here, his eyes, that deep, intense gaze doing inexplicable things at the pit of my stomach. My heart almost felt like it would plummet out of my mouth.“Er…I…” I didn’t have a reply. What was I going to say? That I ended up sleeping late because you were haunting my dreams last night?“Maybe elaborate what he was doing as well?” Silver giggled.“Discipline is the first thing a warrior should possess, don’t you think?” he taunted. I wanted to retort back with something nasty as we both stared at each other, neither breaking eye contact but held back because he was right…I was late.“Yes…Alpha,” I said, keeping my voice firm. He let out a low, guttural growl in response, and I wasn’t sure if everyone else heard it but I did. When I risked a peek at him, his eyes were a shade darker, jaw even more tense.“Take your place,” Asher co
Asher“Be nice to her,” Eli warned, handing me the bouquet of red roses. “You already said enough back there. I thought you were trying to protect her?”Eli told me all about how the warriors hated Ivy and what Graham had tried to do with her and what she had done in return. It was funny that she almost broke a powerful warrior like Graham’s nose, but I was also a bit proud of her for standing up for herself like a true warrior should. He suspected that it might be Graham who pushed Ivy into the lake. And I swear if he was right, Graham and I would have a little talk of our own.“I am. From now on, she'll be training with me," I stated, grimacing at the beautiful flowers.“You questioned her abilities right in front of that dickwad, Graham,” Eli pointed out.“That's because Ivy doesn't seem like the one who would want me to be publicly protective towards her. And I didn’t want to make it too obvious. That was the o
Asher Noah and Logan were waiting outside my father’s study as I headed back to the Alpha House. It was clear from the look on their faces that it couldn’t be good. But I couldn’t care any less. In fact, it would be good for my father to not test me now. “Any hints?” I sullenly demanded from my brothers. They both shrugged in response. “See for yourself,” Logan said. I scowled and then, bracing myself, opened the door and stalked inside. My father was peering into something that seemed like very, very old…scripts? From what I could see, they looked like brittle pieces of paper, the color turning yellowish with age. “You wanted to see me?” I asked. My father looked up, no prominent expression on his handsome face except for the usual somberness. “Alpha Helius called,” he stated, as if that was all the explanation I needed to figure out what was wrong. “Alpha who?” “Alpha Helius of the YellowStone pack,” I
AsherI wasn’t sure how I was supposed to react as I spied the dead white wolf lying on the cold floor. Her coat was white as snow and in her eyes there was a blank, hollow look that immediately made me avert my gaze. It was a really depressing sight.“What is this?” Mac whispered.“That’s what I want to know,” I mumbled. “What is this?”“What do you think?” Logan asked.“A dead white wolf?” I offered.“It’s not just some dead white wolf, Ash. It’s been fifteen days since we spotted her here…” Noah said.“And your point is?” I demanded.“Look closely. It hasn’t decayed, and that’s not normal. Look at that spotless white coat. This should have been a lump of bones and fur, if anything,” Logan said.“And that’s not all. Look into her eyes…” Noah added. Even though I didn’t want to, I did move closer to take a glance. At first, nothing seemed out of…ordinary. But as I moved even closer, forcing myself to look into t
Ivy“Oh my goddess, am I dreaming?” I peeked up from the book I was reading and raised a brow at Naya as she stood by the bed, looking surprised. Way too surprised.“What is that supposed to mean?” I frowned.“You are never visible during these hours and mom told me you have been here since morning. Why didn’t you go to the training? You never miss training, ever.” Her tone was almost accusatory, and it made me roll my eyes.“I am just taking…a day off,” turning my eyes back to the book I pretended to read. Even if for the last hour or so, all I did was re-read the first paragraph.“You got up late today, and now you are taking a day off from training and reading a book...damn, Ivy are you pregnant?” I almost choked on my breath, blinking at the green-eyed girl. Naya had green eyes but really light in color unlike Luna Rose’s whose were very vibrant.“What?” I exclaimed, almost for a moment believing in that crap.“W
“Put me down!!” I shouted, thrashing my legs against his hold. “Put me down! What the fuck!” I punched him hard but, of course, he probably didn’t even feel it. “I told you not to try me,” Asher muttered, throwing open the door. “This could have gone much better.” “Put me down!!” I screamed, struggling against his grasp. “Put me down, Asher Gray!” Even if I was upside down and all I could actually see was his…well, ass, I could feel several curious eyes watching us. “I am going to kill you,” I threatened as he opened the car door. “Sure,” he said, absolutely disinterested. Leaning down, he lowered me into the passenger seat, surprisingly gentle, and shot me a look. Just as I was about to open my mouth to give him a piece of my mind, he pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and fastened it around my mouth. “This should keep your mouth shut for a while,” he said. I reached out to hit him, but fast as lightning, he had both my hands in his grasp. I glared at him, trying to wrigg
