Alpha Asher by Jane

Chapter 82

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 82 – Asher had set to work the moment he returned from Brittany’s cell. Luna Freya had managed to free Brittany and k**l the guards. Upon further investigation, one of the patrol teams on the western side of his territory had been k****d. We could only assume Luna Freya had been working with the Vampire’s and used them to free Brittany.

Without Tyler, we hadn’t a clue why Brittany was valuable to the Vampires, and I was reluctant to visit Tristan and ask him myself.

Asher and Zeke left the house shortly after searching the dungeons, taking their Beta’s with them. The rest of Asher’s men had arrived and needed proper housing and food. Bran had also left due to the arrival of his men. The few warriors Luna Freya brought with her were confused by her absence, and repulsed at how their Luna had betrayed the pack.

Breyona wasn’t answering my calls, not that I expected her to. While I was still uneasy about Giovanni, I knew he would never hurt her. I resisted the urge to call Mason, though I hadn’t heard from him since the Vampire’s had attacked the pack. Even my Grandma, Dad, and Sean were busy. For the first time in a long time, I felt utterly bored.

I savored the free time I had, relishing in the peacefulness. Sometime during the afternoon, Breyona had finally called. After reassuring me everything with her and Giovanni was fine, she asked if I would sleep over tonight.

Breyona picked me up from the packhouse around seven at night. The stress and weariness had left her shoulders, leaving a light glow across her skin. Her eyes had a sparkle within them, twinkling with happiness when she thought I wasn’t looking.

“How’s everything with Giovanni?” I asked, noticing the smile that tugged at her lips when I said his name.

“He’s struggling. He’s leaving behind his family, but he understands the choice he made.” Breyona sighed, “Alpha Asher stopped by today and questioned him. He seemed to believe Giovanni.”

“Asher stopped by?” I frowned. I hadn’t seen or heard from him all day.

“Only for a couple minutes.” Breyona shook her head, “Is it bad that I’m happy? I feel horrible for Giovanni, and I understand what he lost–but, I’m still really happy.”

“I don’t think that’s a bad thing.” I frowned, “I just hope other Vampire’s see things his way. We don’t want to eradicate them the way they do us.”

“Giovanni never wanted any part of that.” Breyona frowned, “He was raised to obey the King above anyone else, his opinions never mattered.”

“Well, they do now.” I nodded, giving her a reassuring grin.

We spent the night in her bedroom as we had countless times in the past. She told me about Giovanni, and how she would meet with him at her Aunt’s house. I could see the guilt burning in her eyes, but I couldn’t seem to muster any blame. I knew I would have done the same. She couldn’t seem to stay away, but she hadn’t betrayed the pack by giving him information. I promised her I wouldn’t tell Asher, a promise I was happy to keep.

Her pastel pink walls remained the same, even though she had begged her Mom for months to repaint the room. Over the years, her twin sized bed had been switched out for a larger one, along with a sofa against the far wall. Her room hadn’t changed much from when we used to be friends.
