Chapter eighty

Chapter four of Alpha Asher and the hunter's daughter

Anna POV

Our first class today is English. I made my way to the back of the class and sat down. A few minutes after the teacher entered the class, the door opened, and a boy entered the class and handed a paper to the teacher. He must be a new student because I have not seen him around. He has a kind of face that stands out no matter how large the crowd is. His standing posture commands respect, and he radiates confidence.

All the girls in the class have their attention on him. I don’t blame them, though. He is a very fine species. He has dark brown hair, and he is actually tall. About 6.0 feet tall.

The teacher cleared her throat and addressed the class: “Well, class, we have a new transfer student joining us. I will allow him to introduce himself to us.”.

The new boy turned to face the class. I sucked in a breath as I had a full view of his face. His face is so perfect that it is supposed to be illegal.

To my surprise, the new boy looked directly at me. My heart started beating very fast as his blue eyes stared deeply at me.

I wonder why he is looking at me that way. Maybe he knows me from somewhere. The teacher tapped him and brought him out of his thoughts.


“Sorry Mam. Hello guys, my name is Asher Austin. Nice to meet you all.”. The new boy introduced himself to the call. His voice is so thick, and it sends chills down my spine. I frown and look away from him. I wonder why I am reacting to him. I mean, he is not the only handsome guy I have ever had.

All the girls in the class giggled. I rolled my eyes at their reaction.

“Is that all you have to say?”. The teacher asked him. He is actually supposed to introduce himself fully, not just say his name. But he kind of looks uninterested so I don’t think he will do that.

“Yes, Mam!”. I replied to her so I guess I am right about him not fully introducing himself.


“Alright then, Asher, you may have a seat!.” The teacher demises him and immediately Lucy raises her hands.

"Yes, Miss Kelvin?”. The teacher asked her.

"O, I want to ask Asher a question,” Lucy said, biting on her lower lips.

“Go ahead with your question, then!”. The teacher permitted her.

“Em.. Asher, I want to ask if you have a girlfriend because if you don’t, Lucy said, biting her lower lips harder. Some of the girls cheered for her. What will I expect from her? There is a reason for the school’s slut. Lucy has slept with every member of both the basketball and football teams. The worst part of everything is that, instead of her being ashamed, it is quite the opposite. She keeps bragging about the number of guys she has slept with as if it is an achievement. I just hope she does not end up with a disease. That is if she is not infected already.


“Miss Kelvin! Sit down now! I am sorry, Asher; you may go and have your seat.” The teacher said this as she turned to write on the board.

Most of the girls wave their hands for Asher to come and sit near them. But to my surprise, he passed them all and came and sat next to me.



“Hi!” He greeted me. I freeze. Is he actually talking to me? I am not sure.

“Hi!”. He said again but I didn’t reply to him. I don’t know why he is sitting close to me or even talking to me at all.

I am known as the school freak since I don’t talk to anyone and always wear a hoodie. It is better for me this way. I try to stay as invisible as I can. Although I still get bullied sometimes, most of the time, I am left alone.

After three more classes, it is time for lunch. Once the bell rings, I boot out of the class and make my way to my favourite spot in the whole school. Deep into the garden, there is this particular tree, which I usually sit under during lunch or free periods.

I brought out my drawing book and started to draw. Drawing is my favourite thing in the world. Whenever I draw, I feel like I am in an entirely different universe.


So lost In my drawing, I did not notice that someone had walked up to me until the person spoke.


“Mind if I join you?”.

I looked up and saw the person that I was trying not to think about standing over my head with a soft smile on his face. How he was able to approach me by hearing his footsteps, I don’t know.


“May I?”. He asked when I didn’t give him a reply.

“Sure you can, it’s the school’s property. Everyone is allowed to sit where they wish!.” I started and the smile on his face increased.
