Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 226: Dance Of Bullets

Even before Asher reached the warehouse, the dogs had sensed him from afar and began to bark. So when he came closer, the noise became more frantic.

With a simple push, Asher undid the flimsy chain holding the gate shut and strode inside, the dogs now in full alarm mode.

The dogs growled, low and guttural, displaying their sharp teeth, their bodies tensed as if about to attack.

And yet they didn’t move.

Not when their instincts screamed that the real predator had arrived.

Asher casually walked over, his glowing slitted eyes settling on the snarling beasts. In a commanding tone, he said, "Quiet."

His authority as an Alpha washed over them and at once, both dogs went docile, ears drooping in submission, releasing whimpers like scolded puppies.

Asher knelt and scratched one behind the ear, the big beast pressing against him like a domesticated pet. The second dog, not to be left out, nudged his hand with its snout, demanding attention.

Asher chuckled. "Good boys. But I’m afraid you’ve just made my entrance very, very obvious." he murmured, hearing footsteps approaching from behind.

Nonetheless, everything was right on time.

A man with a firearm stepped into view, frowning deeply at the sight of some stranger petting the vicious guard dogs. "Who’s there?"

Asher rose slowly, arms raised in a mock gesture of surrender. "I come in peace," he said.Except not even he believed those words.
