Taken By The Demon Alpha
Chapter 54

Asher’s POV

Asher woke up the next morning with a g***n. Judging from the stiffness of his muscles, He knew he’d been in bed for a long time which just made him feel even worse. He was an active person and staying idle without doing anything just made him feel like crap.

He looked around his room as if seeing it for the first time and discovered that it was still very early. The weather was a bit stuffy and at that moment, he craved a bath. Asher tried to lift his arm and found it entangled with another body.

His eyes moved down to stare back at Elizabeth sleeping form. She was fast asleep and he knew she too was safe but then he start to wonder why she was sleeping bare from her chest.

Asher didn’t want to know if she was also bare underneath so he carefully detached himself from her holding before pulling off the blanket away from him as he discovered to his horror that, he was naked.

He paused for a moment before he glanced back at Elizabeth again as if not believing what his eyes were seeing as the wheels turned in his head even more. Something must have happened to warrant him being naked and her shirtless all the way to her butt.

Without meaning to, he caught himself staring at her baby bump longer than he wanted to before he shuddered, thinking the very worst.

“F**k!” He cursed under his breath still wondering if he had forced himself on her once again or is it the other way round. The thought of Elizabeth doing something like that is absurd even to him. She is not that bold, that he knew. Maybe loud mouthed but not bold enough to use his body for her pleasure.

Just about then, she stirred awake and then reached for him on the bed and found his side empty before a gasp escape her mouth and she looked up to replace him just standing there. His own face blank like a white sheet.

“Asher” Elizabeth yelp and quickly reached for the rest of the sheet to cover herself up.

Asher kept staring at her as if seeing her for the first time. The look on his face at this point was one of disbelief. Judging from her demeanor he has no doubt left. Something really did happen between them. She was barely looking at his face.

“Asher?” Elizabeth asked once again.

Asher took a deep breath, trying to reign down on his rising temper. It wouldn’t do him any good if he lost it. They has to be an explanation for all these.

“I’m fine, Elizabeth” he said coldly and heard her sigh in relief. The look on her face held no pretends and it sort of make his heart flutters.

Was she really that worried about him? Or her relief was because of something else.

Maybe he is wrong to think something happened between them. Damn!, he knew how much his mind was suddenly reeled up and he just Isn’t thinking up straight.

“Elizabeth?” He began and she turned to face. “Why are we both naked?”

His question seem to have caught her off caught as she looked up to face him quickly before looking away. Her hands tightening more around the sheet grasp in her hands.

“I’m sorry, Asher. I know what happened between us shouldn’t have happened but you were insisting so much that I couldn’t even help myself and then you called me by her name”

Asher took another step close as he stood with wild eyes. Her words ringing in his ears.

“What happened, Elizabeth and what name are you talking about?”

She arched a brow at him, “You don’t remember?”

“I don’t remember what?”

He watched her shoulders grew even tense as she continued to fidget on the bed.

“Come on, Elizabeth. Talk to me”

“You called me, Macy and we made… love” She said with a half shrug and Asher took another step away from her.

“I’m sorry. You didn’t give me any choice”

“Come on, now, how the f**k did that happened when I’m supposed to be sick and unconscious”

“I don’t know, you just woke up and wanted to have water and I brought some for you and then you kept calling me by her name and then it happened”

“F**k” Asher growled and she jumped back in fright as tears start to stream down her eyes.

Elizabeth could very much understand why he was acting that way. In fact, she knew this was going to happen but somehow, she thought it won’t be this bad but who was she kidding. In a race with Asher, he’d always win and she will be the loser.

Asher was a completely different person last night, a far cry of who he was now.

“This is all your damn fault, Elizabeth” he seethed, pointing a finger back at her.

Elizabeth rose up on her feet, as she began to wipe her face with the back of her hand, “how is this my fault? You were the one who took advantage of me Asher. But then again, coming from you, I’d expect the worst”

Moving with supernatural speed, Asher closed the distance between them causing her to fall back on the bed in fright. “Don’t you dare act like the f*****g victim with me, Elizabeth” Asher snarled as he continued to glare back at her trembling form on the bed.

“I told you, I f*****g told you never to go out without my permission but you did and what happened at the end of it all? You almost got hurt” he snapped. “None of this would have happened if you had just did as told”

“I’m sorry” She cried and it just seems to annoy him even the more.

“Yes you are sorry. Always so f*****g sorry, Elizabeth”

Just like he got there, Asher moved away from her just as fast before going to grab his clothes and shrugged them on and disappeared out the door.

**

Asher was going out of his mind as he went running in his wolf form through the woods. His shoulder muscle feels like shit. The injury he sustained in his arms wasn’t exactly healed yet but he could care less. His mind was in great turmoil thinking about Elizabeth.

Asher hate to see her cry. Those eyes of hers does things to his wolf when she cries.

He felt guilty about what happened but just couldn’t admit it. Asher hate to loose his mind like that. If he had called her by his wife’s name then he doubt her restraint would have been enough to stop him if he wanted to have her body.

He was going to apologize for it before he remembered what happened leading to the attack and completely lost it.. Asher always wanted to feel in control of everything and everyone around him but what happened at the garden, he almost could not control and it scared him, so much so that memory from the day his wife died came flashing through his mind.

He never got to her on time and she died. When he saw that man raises his knife at her, something broke in him. Someone he hasn’t felt in a long time and at that moment, all he saw was red.

Hurting her again was never his intention but it’s obvious he has done so.

He continued to run some more, leaping over dry logs and smashing some under his paw as he went. The early morning sun glistering through his dark furs like black diamond.

He came to a stop at a hill overseeing all his lands and let out a warning howl into the atmosphere with the intention of keeping all intruders off his territory before he sent a message to his beta through their mind link and it’s so happened he too was currently in the process of interrogating more suspect.

Asher wolf took off running again. He couldn’t wait to replace out whose idiotic idea was it to try to kill Elizabeth once again And this time, he doesn’t care he it was. He just knew he was going to spill b***d.
