Alethea As I stare at the lifeless child. My chest tightens, my breath catching in my throat. Should I be relieved? Should I be devastated? A child is dead. A child with blonde hair, just like Declan's. My mind races with questions. Was he playing too close to the river? Did he wander off? Where were his parents? How could they be so careless? I sighed in relief, but it didn't ease the ache in my heart. It isn't Declan. My son is still out there, but the sight of another mother's loss makes my stomach turn. Asher steps closer, he wraps an arm around me. His warmth grounds me, but it doesn't stop the whirlwind of thoughts raging in my mind. "Let's get out of here," his voice rumbles through our link. I nod weakly, with exhaustion creeping into my bones. On our way out, I spot Harvey standing nearby. I force a small nod in his direction. "That wasn't my son. But... thanks for the heads-up anyway." Harvey has a tight smile on his face. "Take care, Alethea." Asher and I walk in s

AsherI have a million things running through my mind right now, things I want to say to Ally-but I hold them back. Because damn it, I was wrong. I was a coward for running away. I should have fought for her, for us. Maybe then, we wouldn't be in this mess. Maybe Declan wouldn't be in danger. Instead, it's been one disaster after another, and I am fucking exhausted. I know Ally thinks I'm just jealous, but this isn't about that. Desperate times call for desperate measures. The moment I saw Harvey standing at the riverbank, I knew something was off. It wasn't just his presence-it was the shadows around him. Most people wouldn't notice, but I did. Because I have shadow power. And when those shadows appear the way they did around Harvey, it only means one thing-deception. Something dark is lurking beneath the surface, something dangerous. This isn't the first time my shadows have warned me. The first time it happened was when I found Ally in the forest when she was in danger. I

AletheaFear coils tightly in my chest as Asher tells me to shift into my wolf. I know he's right-we need to move fast if we want to save our son, my wolf... she's a risk. If the enemy realizes what I am and what I carry in my blood, I could become their target. Still, I push the fear down and focus. We race through the thick forest, dodging trees, our paws barely making a sound against the damp earth. But the moment Asher orders me to shift back, I feel relief flood through me. He senses the danger too. I obey instantly, shifting back into my human form. And when he crouches down and tells me to climb onto his back, I don't hesitate. Even in this moment of urgency, I can't help but feel something deep, electric, and undeniable when he holds me steady. But then I see her. That conniving, two-faced bitch. Maya. My body goes rigid the second she steps forward, a smug smirk curling on her lips. "Welcome, Asher. I've been expecting you." Her gaze flickers at me, and her smirk

AletheaEvery part of me feels so heavy like I've been hit by a truck. The pain is unbearable, spreading through my entire body, and the loud ringing in my head pounds relentlessly. "Shit," I mutter as I slowly push myself up from where I'm lying. Everything is a blur, my mind completely fogged over as if it has shut down. I can't remember anything. Oh, my goddess, I hope my amnesia isn't coming back. The thought sends a wave of panic through me as I look around, trying to make sense of my surroundings. Everything is hazy, but I force myself to focus. I can't lose my memory again, not a second time. I bring a hand to my face, rubbing it slightly, and that small action seems to help. When I pull my hand away, my vision clears, and I finally take in my environment. Relief washes over me when I realize I'm in my room. But where is everyone? Selena? Declan? The thought of Declan snaps me out of my daze, and I abruptly sit up. I remember going to the river to check if the drowned boy

AletheaOn the screen, Asher's face is unreadable. He stands there, staring off into the distance, his expression is cold and detached. It's like he would rather be anywhere else than surrounded by the swarm of reporters desperate to catch a glimpse of him, eager to ask questions about murder. I'm grateful the TV is muted. The last thing I want is for Declan to hear any of this or to start having doubts about his father. But I don't need sound to understand what's happening. The headline flashes across the screen: ASHER KNIGHT ACCUSED OF KILLING MAYA. My breath catches in my throat. The report reads that Maya was found dead at an undisclosed location, and the last person she had contact with was Asher. The evidence against him is his cufflink, the one with his signature initials A.K., which was found at the scene. "Oh my goodness... this isn't good." The words slip from my mouth before I can stop them. "Mummy? What did Daddy do?" I freeze. I had forgotten Declan was right ne

Alethea I'm in shock. My mind is racing, trying to make sense of everything. Who could have planted Asher's cufflink at the murder scene? Selena's voice pulls me out of my thoughts. "Talk to me, Ally." I blink rapidly, trying to focus. "That day at the abandoned building... When we went to rescue Declan, Asher wasn't wearing a dress shirt or anything formal. He was in jeans and a T-shirt." My voice grows stronger as the realization sinks in. "There's no way his cufflink could have ended up at the crime scene unless someone put it there on purpose." I suddenly feel an urgent need to see Asher, to hear his side of the story. There are too many unanswered questions. "I need to see him," I say, with a firm voice. But then another thought hits me-how did I even get here? How did Declan make it home safely? I turn to Selena, hoping she has the answers. "Mum, how did I get back home? And how did you find Declan?" She exhales slowly, her eyes filled with concern. "I got a call... Som

Alethea"I know... I know, Asher," I mutter, my voice barely above a whisper. Everything rushes through me at once as he lays his emotions bare, letting me see the truth he has been carrying alone. He wasn't trying to hurt me when he hit me, he was trying to save me. Maya had a silver knife. I hadn't seen it. I had lost all caution the moment I saw Declan with her. The only thought in my head had been to run to my son. Nothing else would have stopped me, not even Asher, not anyone. And Asher knew that. That's why he did what he did. Maybe he shouldn't have hit me so hard, but I'm grateful he did. Because if he hadn't... I don't think I would have survived it. Asher had tried to reason with Maya after I passed out. He had tried to talk her out of whatever plan she had for Declan. But she was hurt, broken in a way that blinded her. "So this is why you never wanted me," she had said, her voice shaking with pain. "I wanted so badly to give you an heir, but what did you do? You said

AletheaAs sparks erupt between us, we stare at each other for what feels like an eternity. His green eyes search mine, looking for something I can't quite place. But I can see the struggle in them, the way his pupils dilate, his wolf clawing for control while he fights to keep it at bay. Xena, on the other hand, is giggling in my mind, thrilled by the closeness of our mate. I should go... but before the words can even leave my mouth, his lips crash against mine. The peppermint and ginger drink I took earlier mixes with the taste of him, and for a second, I freeze. But then my body moves on instinct, responding to the hunger in his kiss. I kiss him back with just as much force, matching his intensity. There is nothing soft or gentle about this kiss. It's raw, desperate like he's trying to tell me something without words. A silent plea. A confession. A warning. I know I should push him away. He has no right to kiss me like this after everything. My head screams at me to stop, to br

AletheaI think about Asher's request, and deep down, I know I should be there for him. He needs me now, and no matter what has happened between us, I can't turn away. I don't know what this means for us, and I refuse to get my hopes up only to have them crushed later. But my gut tells me I need to go back to Redwood Pack with him. And now, here we are, standing on the front porch of Tarship, ready to leave. Selena had opposed the idea at first, making it clear that she didn't think it was a good decision. But to my surprise, she eventually gave in. Maybe she thought it through and realized it was necessary. Still, she had one condition: Declan stays with her until she's finished with things here. Then, she would bring him over. "No. My son comes with me," Asher had said firmly when Selena first objected. I could see the frustration flash in her eyes, but she took a deep breath, clearly trying to stay calm. "Alpha Asher, listen," she said, her tone measured but serious. "You've b

Alethea"You," is all he says as he brings my hand to the bulge in his pants. "Feel me, Ally. It's calling out to you."I didn't think twice as I pulled down his zipper, my chest rising and falling, my mouth slightly open. I can't contain the lust clouding my emotions.Asher makes me do things I wouldn't normally do, but with him, it just feels so right-and so wrong at the same time."Fuck, Ally," he groans loudly, throwing his head back."Do we want to do this here? On the side of the road?" I ask."I just need a release, Ally. It hurts so bad," he says, his voice strained as he frees himself. His length is thick, bouncing slightly as it's released."I want to feel your tongue on me, Ally. It's all I've been thinking about all morning, even while you talked.""Asher," I whisper."Yes, Ally?" His voice is low, with need. "I love it when I have your tongue around me."That was all the invitation I needed. Turning toward him, I lower my head, my fingers wrapping around him as I bring hi
