Chapter 90 - Ninety : You Just Need To Tell Me Everything About Them
"The look on Asher's face was priceless " Ben would have said if he was here to witness this shocking scene.
Asher was dumbstruck, his eyes as wide as saucers before it narrowed. His penetrating gaze went from Lia to Daniel and back again.
Lia shivered when she felt a gust of cold breeze wash over her and turned. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw Asher standing at the room's entrance, his Stormy gaze trained on her with a very heated intensity that could even scare a Tiger.
Before she knew it, an invisible force ripped her off Daniel, while Daniel gave a feral growl in response .
The force pulled her towards Asher like a puppet, slamming her into his chest with a great momentum that knocked the breath from her.
Asher simply reached out a hand and drew her close to him, his grip on her waist so tight and bone crushing that she bet a bruise must have formed there already.
Then Asher turned to face the Alpha who was already poised to attack with a blizzard like gaze and said in a monotone
"We had a deal and I hope you don't back out of it "
Immediately Asher's words entered his ears, Daniel's blazing amber orbs changed to his normal blue ones while his shoulders slumped in defeat.
"I hope we have that discussion as soon as possible " Asher continued his monotone as if he was a robot.
That said, he immediately turned rigidly and took Lia's arm, dragging her out of the room before Daniel could protest.
The werewolves guarding the pack house didn't stop them; it seems Daniel sent them a message through the mindlink.
Asher was fuming mad, he had arrived early and had to wait, since Daniel's men wanted to inform him of his arrival through the mind link
But when they got nothing for a while, they let Asher go since he had an appointment anyway, only to come inside and discover the source of the unanswered mind calls - he was messing around with Lia! With hi - their mate?!
Lia knew better than to say a word. She understood from his dark gaze that he was fuming mad.
But why was Asher this angry ? Wasn't he the one always pushing her to go and find her mate.
Once at the pack boundary, they met some werewolves stationed there, who stopped them at once while Asher tried to talk things out with them - giving Lia the chance to catch a final glimpse of the pack
Starring at the distant pack house that stood out from the rest , she committed it to memory.
Though werewolves could perfectly live and blend in with the humans but the Silver Pack decided otherwise, preferring to live separately but not too far from the humans .
Lia's gaze shifted back to Asher when she felt him grab her hand and led her through the thick forest that hid and protected the Silver pack from human invasion.
Through out the journey, Asher didn't say a word to her but the air surrounding them was so oppressive to the point she couldn't breath.
Abruptly, she pulled away, taking a few careful steps back as his blazing gaze followed her every move.
" What are you doing? " he asked solemnly
"We kissed " Lia confessed, finally letting the cat out of the bag. It was better for him to release his anger openly than giving her this silent torture.
"I'm not going to lie,I enjoyed it" She disclosed "It just felt so right, like this is what a part of my soul was missing out on all these years but.... "
She stared him straight in the eyes and asked "But as blissful as that sounds, why do I still feel quilty ?"
His gaze remained unwaveringly on her's while
Her voice broke and tears began to slid down her face.
"W-why do I feel bothered? Why do my heart feel guilty when infact I'm following it? why do everything seem so complicated with you? Why do I feel for you when I've already being destined for someone else? "
Asher clutched his fist, trying so hard to contain his emotions that were threatening to surface but the girl's words was tearing his heart out
The tears continued to trickle down her cheeks "What is wrong with me ? " she asked exasperated, and began to wipe her face with her palm obsessively.
At her sixth wipe, Asher stopped her and drew her towards him, staring at her with this odd gleam in his eyes.
His cold, smooth hands cupped her cheek and rubbed away a hot tear with his thumb.
"Nothing is wrong with you" He assured her, his thumb caressing her cheek while his eyes fixed on her's intently.
He was just conflicted, was it right to confess the truth to her now? All this time, he's been careful, what would happen if he becomes careless for once?
Maybe it's time to become selfish after all.

Alexa struggled against the bound all to no avail : she was seated on the floor with her hands bind behind her back.
She suddenly stopped when she heard the dry creaking of the door and then someone came in.
A guy who seem to be in his late teens, sandy brown hair with stunning hazel eyes came in and she would've spent the whole day checking him out if he wasn't her abductor aka Mr psycho.
"So, how are you doing today?" He asked and squat down before her with his ever intelligent eyes.
"Let me go you psycho!" She spat,her bloodshot eyes blazing with hatred.She thought she had fallen into safe hands when she passed out on that day without knowing she just went from flying pan to fire.
The boy smirked " I'll let you go once you tell me what I need to know " His hands moved to her face and gripped her jaw tightly saying "You just need to tell me everything about them "
