Chapter 163

Read Alpha Asher by Jane Doe Chapter 163 – I hadn’t so much as skimmed my fingers over the cover page when Asher came through the front door. Ajolt of surprise swallowed my voice and made my heartrate jump, forcing me to snap the book shut and slip it back into my bag.

I knew his next words would be worth my while. Only after a long drink of his own did he finally speak. “I won’t apologize for what I did to Clint Armstrong, but I’ll admit I did act rashly.” For a split second, his eyes unfocussed and confusion filled their depths until all traces of gold faded from his iris’s. “I…I haven’t been feeling like myself lately.

I’ll protect them with my last breath, but only if I know you’re safe.’ There was an urgency in his voice that made my throat tighten.
