Alpha Asher by Jane

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 95 – I got absolutely no sleep that night. My mind refused to shut off, especially now that I knew I might see Asher again. I picked at the silver cuffs on my wrists, wishing Tristan had removed them before he left. I needed to talk to Asher again, to hear his voice so that it might wash the anxiety from my mind.

I lingered in the void between sleep and awareness, tossing and turning on the plush bed. The bed was comfortable, but even the softest of material couldn’t fix the unease churning in my gut.

The morning rolled around all too soon, bringing on the hardest part of the day. I had nothing but time, and nothing to do but wait until Asher’s group had come to the warehouse. My Father and his troops would be leaving out at sunset, leaving the best opening for Asher’s men to get in and out without a huge battle.

After hours of lying in bed, lost in my worried thoughts, a knock sounded on my door. Only, it wasn’t Tristan who stepped inside. I assumed he belonged to my Father, though he couldn’t have been more than a few years older than me. His chestnut hair was short and messy, a few strands falling in his face as he held a silver tray in his hands. I let my eyes glaze over as I sat up on the bed, ignoring the presence of the man who stepped into my room.

“Eat.” He grunted; his voice coated in a thick accent.

The name-less goon sat the tray on my bed, and I moved stiffly towards the glass of blood. Taking my time to finish the food on my tray, I watched withheld breath as the man left. It was usually Tristan who brought me my food each day. The switch up had my chest pounding. Too much could go wrong in the short amount of time it would take Asher’s men to get to the warehouse.

Tristan could have been caught; his secrets revealed to my Father. For all I knew, he could be sitting in a cell somewhere–or worse, d**d. He could have easily changed his mind, resorting to spilling the truth to my Father in an attempt to bargain his life.

Hours passed with no message, no visit from Tristan or anyone else. By the time I heart footsteps thundering down the hall, I was ready to pull my hair out. I leapt from the bed at the sound, flinching when my bedroom door swung open with a loud slam. The name-less man who had brought my food was standing in the doorway, a look of surprise on his face as he stared into my eyes. My stomach dropped as I realized I had let my guard down, and that this man knew I wasn’t under Tristan’s influence.

His hands were braced on the door frame, and I watched as his mouth flopped open. Instead of words, a strangled gasp left his lips. His body fell forward, thudding to the floor. My eyes snapped forward as I spotted a familiar face down the hall.

Mason stood at the end of the hall; his arm stretched out as if he had just thrown something. I glanced down at the knife sticking out of the man’s back and figured Mason had k****d him. Mason, Sean, and four other men charged down the hall and into my bedroom, dragging the d**d Vampire inside.

I was swept into a familiar pair of arms and breathed in the scent of my brother, the knot in my stomach finally beginning to unravel. Sean had an incredulous look on his face as he glared down at me.

“You’re absolutely insane, you know that right?” Sean scoffed, giving me a quick squeeze before setting me on my feet. “Luna or not, Dad’s going to f**king k**l you. You’d be lucky if he doesn’t ground you for the rest of your life.”
