Ninety seven

Chapter twenty one

Anna POV

I felt the man lifting me up and the sound of something crashing into the wall.

I opened my eyes and saw Asher beating the man. I let out a cry of relief. I knew he would come and save me.

Asher kept hitting on the name even though the man had already fallen unconscious but he didn’t stop.

“Asher please stop!.” I cried out but he kept on hitting. I was distracted by looking at them and I didn't notice when my father entered until it was too late.

“Asher watch out!”. I screamed but it was too late already. My dad had hit Asher on his head with the rod. Asher looked unaffected and turned to face my dad.

“I am tired of you idiot messing up my plans!.” My dad chanted. Asher didn’t give him an answer but rather slowly walked up to him. I kept moving back until his back hit the wall.

Asher punched him hard in the stomach. He immediately spit out blood. For some reason, it felt good to watch.

“Any last words?.” Asher asked him.

“Anna, are you going to sit there and watch your own father die?.” My dad is trying to get me to beg Asher on his behalf. From the look on Asher’s face, I knew that he was trying to beg me not to pay attention to him.

“You can rot in hell for all I care!”. His continued existence is a threat to me and the people around me. I know that for as long as he is alive, I can’t ever be truly free. Who knows what he will do next time?

Asher smiled pleased with my answer.

“This is for all the years you have abused her!.” Asher said and punched him in the face.


“This is for trying to sell her off!”. He punched him again and kept on punching him again and again. Asher doesn’t look as if he is planning to stop hitting him any time soon. I walked up from the bed and went and rounded my hands around Asher’s waist.

“Please stop!.”

“Please stop it, it’s enough already!.”

Asher immediately stopped and turned to hug me tight.

“Are you okay? Did they hurt you?.” He kept asking as he placed both of his hands on my cheek.

“I am fine Asher!”. I assured him and that seemed to calm his nerves.


“Thank the heavens. I was so afraid when Alissa's mind linked me and told me that your father had taken you guys!.” Asher exclaimed.

“Well, I am fine. I knew you would come and save me! Speaking of Alissa, don’t you think we should go and check on her and Mel?.” I asked.

“They are fine! I didn’t come alone. Let’s go home now!.” Asher explained and let me out of the Cabin. Outside I saw Mel, Alissa, the beta, Gamma and other pack warriors.


Once we went out, the pack warriors burnt the cabin as we stood and watched. I can’t believe it is finally over. All these years of abuse. Is finally over.

We walked back into the pack. As soon as we reached, we were bombarded by Asher’s mother Luna who was more than delighted that everyone was back.


She threw a mini feast in celebration of our successful coming back. At the end of the day, they talked about coronating Asher and me as the official Alpha and Luna of the pack next week. I don’t think I am ready for that yet.

Once we reached our room, Asher immediately pulled me to him and clapped our lips together.

Asher runs his tongue along mine and he kisses me deeper. I have no idea what I am doing but I can't stop. I don't want to stop.
My entire body feels like it's been ignited. I have never felt like this before.
He brought his left hand from my cheek down to my waist and the other hand to the back of my neck. I can't help but release a moan when he pulls me closer to him by my hip. I can feel him smile on my lips as his tongue continues the slow movement in my mouth.
My tongue follows his and I wrap my hands around his shoulders earning a moan from him. The sound makes me moan in response.
It is the hottest sound I have ever heard and I want to hear it again.
I place my hand on his head and tug his hair pulling him closer.
His hand began to move from the small of my waist to my thigh. I arch closer when he moves his right hand from my neck to the back of my ear and then to my cheek. His left hand moved to the hem of my sweatshirt and he tugged at it.

His hand slid under my sweatshirt and my body sparkled at the touch of his hand on my skin. It feels so wonderful and I suddenly want more. I can't think straight right now. He moves his hand up and down my back while I continue to kiss him harder. He moved his hand up to my bra.
His hand below my breast brings another feeling and I release a moan but my subconsciousness reminds me about what I am doing.... with everything that happened today. So I touched his hand and he stopped.

I suddenly miss his warm hand on my body but we have to stop before we do something we might regret. Our desire is getting the better of us.

He pulls away and I breathe in. I could feel his hot breath on my cheek.

He pulled back and looked at me.


“I have always wanted to do this since the first day I met you!.” Asher said in a husky voice.

Me too! I said to myself.

“Let’s have a bath so that we can go to sleep!.” Asher’s said, making my heart beat faster.

What does he mean by that? Does he want us to bathe together? I asked myself. It’s as if Asher guessed what is in my mind.

“Shit! I don’t mean it like that! You know what, why don’t you take a bath while I use the bathroom in the hallway!.” Asher said blushing as he left the room.

It’s cute to see him act this way.

I went to sleep that night in my mate’s arms. Feeling loved and secure.
