Alpha Asher by Jane

Alpha Asher novel By Jane Doe chapter 12
The absolute last thing I wanted to do was run to Alpha Asher, especially after what happened in the locker room.

I had no excuse for being out by the swimming hole again, and was equally dreading and anticipating his reaction.

I walked back to the packhouse, my stomach a mess of knots and confusion.

“I wonder who is friend is.” Maya inquired, sending her thoughts flooding through my head.

I grimaced at her words, “Whoever it is doesn’t seem like a friend to us.”

“Why leave notes for us though?” Maya shook her head, “Something isn’t adding up.”

“Maybe his friend just likes toying with people.” I shrugged, “Tyler sure does.”

That’s how the fifteen minute walk to the packhouse was spent. Maya and I exchanged theories and questions, neither of us coming to any conclusion

I walked into the packhouse and was instantly greeted by Alpha Asher’s Beta. I hadn’t seen him since he questioned me the night of Katie’s death.

“Lola, right?” Beta Drake cocked his eyebrow at my sudden appearance.

While Alpha Asher failed to intimidate me, Beta Derek was an entirely different story. I had no intention showing my indimidation with his scarred body and towering form. Chris was right about one thing, bigger men are much slower and fall harder.

“Thats me.” I nodded, looking around at the newly referbished packhouse.

The training grounds was a separete wing of the packhouse, positioned off to the side of the property.

The main wing of the packhouse held many bedrooms, and the Alpha’s office. I had spent many of my childhood years in this packhouse, running around with Tyler. It was both refreshing and saddening how much the house had changed. Tyler’s Mom always had the house in light pastels. Hints of blue’s, yellow’s and pink’s were thrown about.

Alpha Asher must have referbished the entire thing when he took over the pack. The light pastel’s were now gone, replaced with white and small amounts of black. It gave the packhouse a clean and pristine look. It looked more like a show room rather than a house that people lived in. There were no personal items decorating the walls, not a single picture in sight. A house that once held two generations, was now barren.

“What did you come here for, Lola?” Beta Drake raised his eyebrow, peeking over the page of writing he held in front of his face.

I cleared my throat and steadied my nerves in the process, “I need to speak with Alpha Asher.”

Something danced in the back of Beta Drake’s eyes, something curious. “And why would you need to speak with the Alpha?”

I pursed my lips together impatiently, “It’s about Katie’s death.” I lied.

There was no way I planned on telling Asher’s Beta my ex-boyfriend and old Alpha made an appearance on pack territory. The first thing out of his mouth would be to ask me why the hell I didn’t alert them immediently.

Beta Drake set his paper down among the others and locked his eyes on my own, “And why didn’t you provide this information the night of her death?”

“I didn’t make the connection at the time.” I clenched my teeth together. I always hated lying, but this wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with Beta Drake.

Hell, it wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with Asher but I didn’t have a choice in that matter. I’d take Asher’s punishments over Beta Drake’s wrath any day.

“Then why don’t you tell me instead?” Beta Drake proposed, and I found myself growing more impatient.

I sighed, “I’d rather just tell Alpha Asher if you don’t mind.”

Beta Drake paused for a moment, and finally a deep smirk formed on his face. “Very well, but I’ll inform you now that he’s very busy. He won’t be happy you interrupted him.”

“Is he ever happy?” I grumbled, unable to keep the words from leaving my lips. I clamed my teeth down with an audible ‘click’.
