Alpha Asher by Jane
Chapter 80
Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 80 – Alpha Asher mind-linked his Beta, and the two of us waited by Jessie’s body until he showed. With Jessie’s lifeless face lingering in my mind, Asher turned to face me. His honey eyes were hard as they regarded me, stress and exhaustion hidden beneath the surface.
“The Vampire King used her as payment, didn’t he?” Asher asked, recognizing the pattern of d***h.
“It seems he did.” I frowned, my eyes lingering on the spot Jessie had once sat.
‘This isn’t your fault, Lola.’ Maya murmured, ‘You aren’t responsible for everyone.’
I wasn’t sure she knew about her heritage, and I never had the chance to explain. I had long stopped trying to understand the shadows and why they demand such payments, but I couldn’t see the point in k*****g another half-blood. Jessie was just a child, born into a world where species are at war, and collateral damage is high.
“Why?” Asher grimaced, anger flaring in his dark eyes.
“She was like me.” I stated simply, turning my face away as his intense eyes searched for my own. “Not the same blood-line, but she was a half-blood.”
“How long have you known this?” Asher asked, his voice dark.
“Not long.” I shook my head, “I met her when the attacks were happening. We could both smell the Vampire’s–though neither of us knew where the scent was coming from.”
“And this is an indication of her species?” Asher asked, his voice taking on an impatient tone.
I brushed the anger in his voice off, knowing we both endured a very long night. I wondered if either of us would manage to achieve any sleep. With my birthday two days away and a war between species looming over my head, I needed all the sleep I could manage.
“You can’t tell Breyona any of this.” I sighed, knowing her Mom would k**l the two of us if she found out we read her private collection of books. “Breyona’s Mom has a secret stash of books. We broke into her safe and read them. According to the books, Vampire’s scents are nearly undetectable. The scent is undetectable, unless you’re a Vampire.”
“Undetectable?” Asher questioned; his eyes were captivated as I continued speaking.
“They smell sweet–like, really sweet.” I grimaced as the smell ebbed to the front of my memory. “Jessie could smell them too.”
“Then, I suppose the shadows asked for the life of a half-blood.” Asher frowned, “Though he hadn’t k****d her himself.”
“Maybe the shadows have a preference.” I shrugged, though a nagging feeling remained in my gut. “I’m no closer to figuring them out than I was a month ago.”
“I’m not sure I want you to figure them out.” Asher murmured to himself, each of us sharing a look of uncertain concern.
“We need to talk to Brittany, don’t we?” I sighed, knowing this night wasn’t through yet.
“We do.” Asher nodded, “Though I would prefer to speak with her sooner rather than later.”
“I know.” I frowned, “I think I should speak with Tyler.
“Even locked in a cell, I cannot stand the thought of him under the same roof as you.” Asher growled lowly, exhaling sharply as we entered the house.
Alpha Bran had made it back to the packhouse before us, and was slumped on the living room couch. A thin trail of blood ran the length of his face, along with a b****y wound on his arm. The pristine couch in the living room was flecked with blood, but neither Alpha seemed to care.
