Chapter eight one

Chapter five of Alpha Asher and the hunter's daughter

“Thank you!.” He said as he sat and made himself comfortable.

I ignored his presence and continued to draw even though it was getting hard for me to concentrate.

“Hey I am Asher..” he started to introduce himself.

“Yes, I know. I was In the class earlier today.” I pointed out. I don’t know what he wants from me or why he is disturbing me. I don’t like how he makes my heart beat.

“O that’s right! Silly me!”. He let out a small laugh. He has such a beautiful laugh.


“And you are?”. He asked me.


“Anna!”. I reply without taking my focus off my drawing. After that, the place grew silent with none of us talking.

“Amazing drawing you got there!”. Asher tries to strike up a conversation with me.

“What do you really want from me?.” I snapped at him. The more I think about it, the more I become confused about the reason why he is here.


“I am sorry, I don’t mean to offend you. I just want us to be friends!.” He explained in a hurt voice as he stood up to go. Great! How is it making me feel guilty?


“Wait! I am sorry I snapped at you. I just don’t understand why you want to be friends with me. Didn’t they inform you that I am a school freak? Are you sure you want them to see you with me? You may lose your chances of making other friends.” I apologize to him.

“I don’t want to be friends with the others, just you!.” His words made me blush. Thank god the hoodie is covering my face. It’s nice to hear that someone will choose me as their choice over others.

“Okay! But in the long run, don’t say I didn’t warn you!.” I declared to him. I know there Is a high possibility that he will change his mind about hanging out with me sooner or later.

“I didn't get the warning because I am not going anywhere.”. Asher firmly stated.

I raised my eyebrows and silently answered; “ never say never!”.

“So let's start afresh. Hi, I am Asher! It's nice to meet you.” Asher pulled his hand out for me to shake.


“Hi I am Anna, it’s nice to meet you too.” I shake his stretched hand. Immediately our hands touched, and I quickly pulled my hands away. What the hell was that? Once our hands touched, I felt a spark as the current flowed through the place his hand touched. And the butterflies in my stomach started to dance. I am not sure if he felt it too so I decided to keep quiet about it.

We spend the whole lunch period talking about ourselves. He is actually fun to talk with. Luckily enough for me, he didn’t ask me why I was wearing a hoodie under this hot weather.


After the break was over, we went to class together. Turns out we have all our classes together. All except art. I am taking art while he is taking the karate class.



It is now closing time. Asher offered to drive me home which k strongly refused.


“Are you sure you don’t want me to drive you home? I don’t mind really.” Asher asked for the tenth time since the school closed.

“I am sure. It’s fine. I am used to going on the school bus. Besides, I have to get something on the way.” I explained to him.

Against his wish, we said our goodbyes and I followed the school bus. Once the bus dropped me off, I walked to the store to get some beer for Dad. I don’t think it is legal to allow a teenager to buy a beer but since the owner of the store is one of my dad's hunting colleagues, he sells it to me since he knows who I am buying it for.


I paid for the drinks and started to dreadfully walk home. I may have escaped the morning beating, but I don’t think I can escape the night owl.

I tiptoed into the house only for me to enter the kitchen and see him seated there. I swallowed hard as I gently walked to the fridge and dropped the beer inside.

“Good evening Dad! I brought your beer!”, I announced hoping that he would go easy on me.

“I woke up this morning and I didn’t find any drink. Can you tell me why is that”. He calmly asked. O no! I am in deep sh*t. A calm dad is a dangerous dad. Sad is never calm except when he is about to explode.

I swallowed my spit to moisturize my dry throat; “ em… we round out of drinks that is why!”. I managed to say.

As soon as I made the statement, Dad stood up and came and strangled me on the neck. Tears start to pour out of my eyes as I try to lose his grip on me but I can’t since he is very much stronger than me.

“This should be the last time that something like this will happen!”. Dad furious stated. I nod to my friend because I can’t even talk even if I wish to. His hands around my neck are making me breathe hard.

“Next time, I won’t take it lightly with you bit*h!”. Dad threatens me. He then flung me and my head hit the fridge hard. I kept on coughing as I tried to regulate my breathing. Dad picked up a can of beer and kicked me on the stomach as he left the kitchen.

I tried to sit up but I immediately left. And before I knew it, I fainted.
