Asher had turned into a beast that was trying to devour me, my body was shaking in fear, my hands still trying to push him away.
“Asher, we need to talk,” Leroy said from the other side of the door.
Asher growled in announce, he stopped kissing me. I felt a little relief when his lips moved away from mine. I was now looking up at Asher as he had his brows crossed and anger in his eyes.
Leroy knocked on the door, “Asher. It’s important.” Asher jumped up and stomped over to the door. Opening it “what is it?” Asher yelled, making me jump. Asher and Leroy were now talking at the door.
I didn’t pay them any attention as I got off the floor and ran to the bathroom. After turning the cold tap on, I began to splash the cool water on my face. After washing my face, I let out a sigh of relief.
I was confused. How could Asher go from yelling at me to pinning me to the floor and making out with me? And why did I let him? And why was I enjoying his touch?
I decided to take a shower to wash my legs. I had a few cuts from running through the forest after I washed. I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my body. My legs were sore and a little shaky.
Goddamit, I didn’t bring clean clothes. I’m going to have to walk out half-naked. I just hope Asher isn’t out there.
I felt frustrated with myself. How could I be so stupid? I began to pace in the bathroom for a while, “You turned the shower off a while ago, are you planning on staying in there all night?” Asher said as he knocked on the door.
I let out a sigh before informing him “I forgot to bring clean clothes”. I heard Asher let out a little chuckle, making me blush, “I will get you something to wear”.
Asher said calmly, a few seconds later he opened the door just enough to fit his hand in holding some PJs, “thank you”. I sighed, grabbing them.
The PJs he gave me were silk, so smooth and soft, the top was loose on my skin, letting me feel the silk move against my skin as I walked. The pants were quite short.
They ended just below my ass cheeks, and the bra and underwear he gave me were very sexy and lacey.
I looked at myself in the mirror. My face turned red. I felt sexy looking at my reflection and a tad embarrassed.
I know if I walked out there wearing this I would feel his gaze and maybe even his lust. That made me feel uneasy, but for some reason I also wanted to feel his eyes on me, lusting for me.
“Dinner is here,” Asher said, knocking on the door, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I walked out and over to my seat. Asher watched every step I made over to my seat. I tried not to look at him as I knew I would be sucked into those eyes of his, “ Unfortunately, I am unable to move the wedding forward”, he said, as I took my seat.
I was smiling in my head.
He then continued, “some. Alpha's have already sent in their rsvp. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to our wedding night”. He winked at his last words and a shiver ran down my spine.
I hadn’t even thought about that, “I told you I didn’t want to get married”, I hissed while staring at him.
“Sorry, but you don’t get a say in this” he responded coldly,
“And why is that?” I asked, lifting my eyebrows,
“Because I’m an Alpha, I need an heir to my pack to help keep them safe”,
I sat there staring at him as I took in his words, he said he needed an heir, my eyes went wide, my jaw dropped open, he wants to marry me, he needs an heir, and he can’t wait for our wedding night. I gulped hard, “y-y-you want me to have a b-baby?” I asked with my voice shaking, hoping I was wrong.
Asher began to smile at me, “ Yes, and hopefully, it will be a boy first try”, he answered. My head shook. “ No” was all I could say to him.
Was he insane? I don’t want to get married. I’m not ready for that, let alone a baby. What the heck is wrong with him? “ Sorry love, but this is your life now, it’s your fate, you are my mate and as an alpha's mate your job is to have my children and please me,” he said to me with a cold tone.
“I'm done with this” I yelled at him, standing to my feet. “ouch” I hissed in pain before sitting back down. Dam, my legs are hurting pretty badly. “I told you not to run”. He smirked at me.
“The maids will bring you some pain killers”. As he said those words, a maid walked in and handed me some tables. I was confused about when and how he told her to bring painkillers. I took them for her. “ Thank you,” I said to the maid. She bowed her head to me, then left.
After I took the pain killers, Asher again opened his mouth, “if you were a wolf you would be over the moon to have an alpha as your mate”,
“ You're wrong about that, no one wants to be taken from their home and locked up in a room and forced to marry a man who acts like he’s all that”, I stated, his man makes me so mad.
I will not let this man have his way, his head is big enough already. I must not let him win, I thought.
Asher let out a loud sigh, “ Do I need to teach you your place?” He questioned me, his eyes had gotten darker, I became stiff in my chair.
Dam how does he do that? My stomach started to get butterflies. I continued to stare at him, not answering his question, my fist clenched under the table,
“well? Do I need to or not?” I turned my head away from him, staying silent, gritting my teeth, “I’ll take that as a no” he said confidently.
Asher began to eat his food as I sat there staring back at him, only eating small bites of food,
Once he was done, he went to the bathroom. As soon as I heard the shower turn on, I ran to the door, trying to open it, pulling and pushing but it was no use, it was locked, turning my back to the door leaning on it I slide down and sit on the floor.
After sitting for a while, I began playing with my long hair. I put it in a braid.
Once I was finished, I heard his footsteps as he came out of the bathroom, he had boxes on and nothing else.
I looked at him. Why was this man so hot? His hair was wet, a drop of water fell from his hair landing on his chest, I started to feel hot as I was watching the drop of water slowly move down his abs.
I softly bit my bottom lip, oh dam was he hot, my mind telling me to look away and my body craving to go to him, my eyes glued to him as the drop of water moved down his body.
Asher cleared his throat, making me look up at him, blushing, “I can smell your arousal”, he said softly.
My heart was beating faster at his words, I was embarrassed, why did this man turn me on? “ It’s the mate bond,” he said. as if he could read my mind.
“You embarrassed me in front of my pack today, and you will be punished for it. I haven’t decided what it will be yet”. After saying those words, I was no longer wanting his touch. I was now worried. Was he going to hurt me? I wondered.
Asher walked over to me, lowering down to my level, looking me dead in the eyes, creasing my cheek softly, moving his mouth to my ears, whispering seductively “maybe I should bend you over my knee and spank you”.
I could feel his lust all around me, it was making it hard to breathe, my heart was racing, “please, stop” I said softly, not knowing how to act to his words, “ Well, if not that then, what should it be then?” He questioned in a low voice while playing with my hair that was still in a braid.
Asher let out a sigh at my silence, “come on my love, help me out here, what should your punishment be?” He questioned.
While smelling, I looked him in his eyes, turning my head to the side. “ You what to punish me for trying to escape my kidnapper?” I questioned, his eyes now dark, he was annoyed by what I had said and there was denning it.
I stayed still waiting for his reply. I was standing my ground. I was not sure if it was the right move, but I didn’t want him to win,
Asher’s eyes glazed over for a second, he then smirked at me, a small amount of fear began to sink in.
He then wrapped my braid around his hand, pulling me to my feet and taking a few steps away for the door, I hissed at him.
Layla and Leroy came into the room.
“you call us”, Leroy said, looking confused as Asher still had hold of my hair, “ Yes, Leroy, I need a drink, and Layla, I need you to talk some sense into her,” he said before letting go of my hair and storming out with Leroy.
Layla gave me a confused look and took my hand and led me to the couch. I then explained what had happened, “I’m sorry Ally, but he is the alpha, and what he says goes, you can fight him all you want but he will win. I know this isn’t the life you wanted, but the moon goddess chose you as his mate for a reason. It’s hard to accept, I know” she said softly while hugging me.
“As for embarrassing him, I pray he goes easy on you. I would recommend saying sorry and maybe begging for forgiveness”. I nodded my head, taking in her words.
I felt better after talking to Layla, but I still felt annoyed and a little mad. Why should I say sorry he’s the one who kidnapped me and he’s also the one making me marry him?
Asher was back from his drink with Leroy, he walked over to me and took my hand, making me stand, “I know this must be hard for you, and I’m sorry, but we have rules here. I have no choice as I am an alpha, we have guests arriving tomorrow. Layla will help you get ready to greet them in the morning”. He said in a calm tone, he began leading me to bed. “I will need you on your best behaviour. If you are good, I will not punish you for today”, I nodded my head and said softly “ OK”.
Asher then kissed my forehead as we laid back on the bed,
“Now we need to sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a long day”, Asher whispered in my ear, cuddling me.
