Chapter eighty six

Chapter Ten of Alpha Asher and the hunter's daughter


Anna POV~

Luckily enough for me. Dad was not at home when I arrived. I headed straight to my room and cried out. At times like this, I wish home was alive.


I lay on my bed for a long time without doing anything. Then I thought of it, why am I even obeying that bitch command? She is not as if she owns me or anything.

I smacked my head when I recalled what happened that day. I can’t believe I was very foolish. The one person who wanted to be my friend, I allowed my foolishness to drive him away. I remember how hurt he looked when I said those words.


“You are so foolish, Anna!.” I rambled my hair.

Tomorrow, I am going to apologize to him. I will understand if he does not want to talk to me but at least I apologized.


I slept off after I finished practising the words of apology I was going to say to him.


****


Asher POV~


“You did what?.” I shouted with my eyes turning dark.


“I gave her some punches and ask her to stay away…” Betty stopped talking when she saw the look in my eyes. My eyes are totally black now and I look like I am about to murder someone. O if we have it my wolf’s way, Betty will have already died now. How dare she bully our mate? She even has the guts to tell my Mate to stay away from me.

I walked closer to her while she kept on walking backwards until her back touched the locker behind her.

“You should thank the heavens that you are a girl or you would have joined your ancestors today!.” I whispered into her ear in a low deadly voice that would send chills down her whole body. The only reason why I will not hit her is because mom raised me right. The only thing we are allowed to hit girls is in a war and that is if the girl is armed. Betty started shaking in fear.


“If I ever see you or hear that you harass Anna again. I promise that you won’t see the sun rise again. Did you hear me?”. I threatened her. Just because I can’t hit her, that does not mean I will allow her to go free like that. An Alpha glare is very deadly and can implement fear in your life forever.


“Y…yes!”. She fearfully said. Good!


“Now off you go!”.

Betty scrambled away from me. I clench my hand into a fist. I can’t believe people like her still exist. It’s the twenty-first century for God's sake.


Just then, the bell rang and I headed to class after calming my wolf down. I sat in front of the class because I didn’t want to sit near Anna right now.


As soon as it was time for lunch, Anna ran out of the class. I followed behind her as she ran to the garden.


She kept her back face to me as we both awkwardly stood under the tree.

“How are you doing now?.” I asked her and she turned to look at me.


“Anna?”. I called when she didn’t say a word.


“I am sorry!”. She declared.


“What! Why are you apologizing?”. I was surprised at her apology.


“For what I said yesterday. I didn’t mean it like ..” she started to say before she burst into tears. I took a bold step forward and hugged her.

“Shhh it’s fine! I am not angry.” I comfort her as I pat her back. After crying for a while, she calmed down.



I explained the incident that happened with Betty and I informed her that Betty would no longer bother her again.


Anna POV~

I am such a crybaby! I can’t believe I actually cried in front of Asher. I found it embarrassing but I don’t think he minds. He hugged me tight until I stopped crying. I am so happy to be in his arms. I feel so secure and at peace. I inhaled his scent. He smells like a mixture of spice and the fresh forest. I have only known him for two days and I don’t know why he means so much to me already.


“Are you okay now?.” He asked me as he let go of me. I suddenly miss his warmth already.


“I am sorry, I don’t mean to snap at you yesterday, I was in a bad mood!”. I apologize for the second time.


“Hey, it’s okay, no need to bite yourself about it. The good thing is that you are okay now. And that is all.” Asher stated. How did I get lucky to meet someone like him?


When he told me he threatened Betty because of me, I was very touched and felt warmth inside. Nobody has ever done something like this for me. I just hope she takes his warning seriously and avoids me from now on.


“So…” Asher started to say before we heard the bell ring. Such wrong timing.


“Well, I guess we need to get to class now!.” Asher said and we started walking towards the building before he stopped and turned to look at him wondering why he stopped.


“We have been here all through lunch time. You have not eaten anything!.” Asher stated. That’s actually true. I did not even think about food. Well when I am with him, I don’t think about anything except being in his presence.


“It’s fine, I am not hungry!”. I lied. I just pray my stomach won’t make a sound. The last time I ate food was yesterday morning. Due to what happened yesterday, I lost my appetite.

“Are you sure?”. He asks, his voice full of concern. I am really touched right now.

“Yes, I am fine! Let’s hurry to class before we end up in detention.” I said and started walking and he followed behind me.

***

It’s already closing time. I am already missing Asher even before he leaves. The past hours that I have spent with him have made me very dependent on him.


“Hey! Come I will give you a lift home!.” Asher started making my heart jump out of my chest because of fear.

“What did you say?.” I murmured.
