Alpha Asher by Jane

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 75 – After our individual conversations with Tyler and Brittany, Alpha Asher cancelled training for the day. As we emerged from the basement, Luna Freya stood in the living room, eyeing us warily.

“I trust my daughter isn’t being tortured down there.” Luna Freya grimaced, scowling at the basement door.

“I gave Lola my word she would remain unharmed, so long as she tells us what she knows.” Alpha Asher nodded, his rough voice held equal parts respect and authority. He respected Luna Freya and her position, but also knew he was free to do what he wished.

“Thank you, Lola.” Luna Freya gave me a warm smile, but her light eyes remained worried for her daughter. “I hope what she knows will help us end this mess. Enough lives have been lost.”

“Yes, they have.” Alpha Asher nodded, “She has provided useful information, we will see how accurate it is. You may visit her if you wish. Down the stairs, through the right tunnel. My men will direct you if you become lost.”

“Thank you, Alpha Asher.” Luna Freya flashed her heartwarming smile, “It is much appreciated.”

Once Luna Freya disappeared into the basement, I turned to meet Alpha Asher’s intoxicating eyes. The color of honey with golden flecks throughout, beautiful and alluring.

“I’m going to check on Breyona–and Mason…if he will allow it.” I frowned, fighting against the storm of emotion in my stomach. I hadn’t heard a word from Mason, not that I expected to after what I had done. I still couldn’t shake the guilt, and wanted to make sure he was doing alright.

I pulled out my cellphone and sent a quick text to Breyona asking if she could come and pick me up.

“He needs time. He knows it wasn’t what you intended, but she had rejected him regardless. Give him time to process that information.” Alpha Asher’s words were soft, despite his rough voice. His molten eyes burned into my own, softening as they read the guilt on my face.

“I’ll be back in an hour or so. I’m sure Sean will be ready to leave by then.” I replied, forcing a smile to my face.

As though today were a day for risks, I once again stepped into Alpha Asher’s arms. His body stiffened for a moment before it relaxed entirely. His reaction made me want to laugh. Had he never been hugged before? Much faster than last time, his arms snak*d around my waist. His chin rested on my head as I enjoyed every second in his presence. His musky scent clung to me, marking me as his own in yet another way.

Watching the guy you love almost d*e had a sobering affect. I was no longer afraid of pushing Alpha Asher’s boundaries. He claimed many times that I belonged to him, therefor I expected the same. I wouldn’t force him into anything without his agreement, but I no longer feared touching him.

Leaving myself no time to hesitate, I stood on my toes and reached towards his face. As though time had slowed, I watched as the bright color of his eyes dimmed. My lips fell against his jaw, a smile on my face as his stubble tickled my skin. I let my lips linger on his skin for a moment, enjoying the way his hands felt around my waist. As I pulled away, I noticed how dark his eyes had become and couldn’t stifle the b**n that sparked deep in my stomach.

“You are extremely affectionate today, Lola.” Alpha Asher purred lowly, pulling me tighter against his body. His calloused hand gripped my chin and his thumb ran along my bottom lip. His eyes burned into me, shining with feral hunger and something softer. “Should I worry you’ve done something bad?”

“You’ve been with me this entire time.” I smirked, letting my tongue graze against Alpha Asher’s thumb. “I made my choice, Asher. You or Tristan. It’s time I started acting like it.”

“Someday, Lola. Someday I will erase every trace of that Vampire from your little mouth.” Alpha Asher snarled lowly, his face a mere inch from my own. His warm breath fanned across my face, sweet mint making my mouth water with desire. While I was feeling risky, I wouldn’t dare close the distance between the two of us.

“Then do it.” I breathed, eyes wide with longing as he held me against his defined body. “Why wait?”

“Affectionate and inquisitive.” Alpha Asher purred, his lips turning up in a deep smirk but he made no move to distance himself.

Just as I thought his remaining self-control had finally collapsed, someone across the room cleared their throat. With my face burning brightly, Alpha Asher stepped away from me. He pulled me tight against his side, as though he wasn’t embarrassed at being caught.

Alpha Zeke stood across the living room; a deep smirk etched onto his face. He leaned against the doorway, eyes glistening as he took in my heated face.

“Impeccable time as always.” Alpha Asher growled, though his eyes shined with humor as he looked at his friend.

“Terrifying…yet oddly arousing.” Alpha Zeke smirked; his bright eyes glued to my reddening face. “Is there a limit on how red your face gets?”

Alpha Asher’s chest rumbled with laughter. Beyond my control, his words had my face brightening even more. Alpha Zeke grinned mercilessly as he noticed this.

“I suppose there isn’t a limit.” Alpha Zeke chuckled, “That’s good to know.”

Mumbling an incoherent goodbye to Alpha Asher, I stalked from the house before Alpha Zeke could say anything further. The two of them were still chuckling as I left.
