Alpha Asher by Jane

Chapter 106

Read Alpha Asher by Jane Doe Chapter 106 – I had never quite become used to pain, even after enduring so much. Every time it ripped the breath from my lungs, unique in how it seared and tore at my insides.

As I clutched my shoulder, feeling the heat of my own blood as it wept in between my fingers, its sweet scent spilled into the air. I ground my teeth together and steeled my spine, even though the dark spots dancing behind my eyes grew in size.

I could hear Asher’s muffled yet powerful voice, silencing the deafening thunder that came from hundreds of snarls. He eased the panic from the crowd, and the tension from the warriors among them.

My shoulder was throbbing and burning from the silver bullet lodged within it. Once I managed to straighten without vomiting, I peeled back the layers of my shirt and swallowed as I looked at the gaping hole in my shoulder.

“I’ll admit, it wasn’t the most pleasant of plans, but we knew this moment would draw them out. The crusade of Vampire’s still loyal to my father were gathering, more than eager to remove me from the throne. It was why we banned children from attending and threw in hundreds of warriors from both Zeke’s pack and our own.

Obviously getting shot wasn’t on my to-do list for the day, but I wanted the Vampire’s close. As close as they could get without dispersing throughout the town.

Our warriors had scented them hours ago but acting would have only made them abandon their plan and scatter.

The guards hidden in the crowd surged towards the shooter. It was easy to tell the Vampire’s amongst the crowd, the ones who had moved in during the chaos of my confession. They were the same people turning on their heel, shoving past the crowd and towards the surrounding forest. The warriors hidden amongst the crowd snared them, outnumbering them ten to one.

I knew my part in all of this, especially if I were to be hurt.

My jaw clicked as I ground my teeth together, and through the haze of pain in my eyes, I dug my fingers into my gunshot wound.

I could feel Asher’s presence behind me, even though the silver burning into my flesh blocked our bond. He had no access to my thoughts or emotions, but he never needed them to tell what was going on in my head.

The hand he placed on my hip, it was what kept me from failing, from proving that I was a weakness to this pack.

The world around me threatened to sway, but the moment my fingers grasped the pesky thing, the release of pain felt like a burst of adrenaline.

Smaller than a marble, the silver bullet burned the skin of my hand, but that pain was a mosquito bite compared to the wasp sting on my shoulder.
