Alpha Asher by Jane

Chapter 238 

Chapter 238

As the back patio came into view, along with Asher’s broad shoulders and unruly hair, I realized my gut had been right after all. Flecks of dazzling gold swirled in his eyes and were bright even in the dark, much brighter the porch lights with their artificial glow.

His shoulders visibly relaxed as his eyes settled on my face. Only I could see and feel the fury that painted his iris’s gold. While my vision might’ve tunneled on Asher, I didn’t fail to notice he wasn’t alone.

Reclined on the swinging bench was Breyona and Giovanni. Mason and Clara occupied the two chairs off to the side.

There wasn’t a single smiling face, only scowls carved deep with worry.

I’d almost forgotten about Ember and

Angelica, both of which were partially concealed behind my back, until Asher let out a snarl that nearly shook the entire house.

Ember went deathly still. The temperature rose several degrees, quick enough that a sweat began to break out along the back of my neck.

I took a step towards my mate. “Don’t, Asher. They’re with us.”

Breyona shoved herself off the bench, evading Giovanni’s arms before they could pin her in place. “Since fucking when?”

“It’s a recent development.” I admitted, waiting for Brandon to chime in. When he didn’t, I was forced to continue. “You don’t have to trust her. Trust me, okay?”

“Where’s Tessa?” Ember didn’t hesitate to ask.

Surprisingly, Clara was the one who answered. “Your sister’s inside with her mate. You ain’t welcome in yet, though.”

“Where the fuck have you been?” Asher bellowed.

I bristled at fury in his voice, thinking he was talking to me. His eyes, however, were trained on Brandon.

“Oh, you know. Here and there.” Brandon replied dryly, grunting when Ember slammed her elbow into his ribcage.

I wondered if Ember could set things on fire with her glare, because she looked angry enough to kill.

Brandon sighed dramatically. As usual, he wasn’t taking a damned thing seriously.

“I was captured by Ember…my mate.”

He was more than reluctant to admit the second part.
