Chapter 22
Asher and Layla watched in disbelief as the two police vehicles drove down the driveway and away from his house. The black and white of the cars were only highlighted by the flashing red and blue lights. Soon enough, the cars disappeared and the last of the flashing lights with them.
“Did that just happen?” Layla asked in a shocked whisper. She had seen and heard it all, but couldn’t believe it. She blinked and gazed in the direction the police cars had disappeared. “I can’t believe that happened,” she muttered.
Before Asher could come up with an answer, not that he could even think of one, he was completely baffled; Luckily for him, another car entered his driveway. As it got closer, he recognized the car.
“You called Dave?” Asher turned to his sister and arched his eyebrow.
Her hand came up in a gesture that said ‘duh.’ “Come on, Asher, strange shit happened here tonight... of course I called Dave.”
Dave stepped out of

The sound of his phone ringing brought Alpha Dylan out of his private thoughts. He didn’t appreciate the disturbance, not that he was actually thinking of anything positive. Not bothering to hurry and find out who was calling him, he gently set the cold bottle of beer on the table and retrieved the phone. He gave the screen a stoic glance before sliding his finger across the screen and then pressing the phone to his ear. “You have something?” he asked the person on the line without bothering with pleasantries. “It could be nothing…” “If you thought it was nothing...you wouldn’t have called,” Dylan interrupted in a hard tone, his growl almost following his words. The line went silent for a moment. Dylan called on all the self-control he could muster. Keeping a cool head was vital for an Alpha, but the situation was beyond testing his limits. When he had agreed to Levi’s offer to mate with his daughter,
What Love doesn't know Chapter 24
Mia never thought it was possible, but she actually missed the little shitty town she had been hiding in for months. At least there, when she was hungry and broke, she could have simply shifted into her wolf and gone hunting in the woods for a rabbit or something equally sizable to fill her empty stomach. That was not the case in the city. Here she could not shift at will and there were no woods to hunt it. Unless she wanted to hunt rats and stray dogs in the dark alleys. Mia grimaced at the thought. Even at the point of starvation, that thought would never fly. She sighed. Everything she ate, she had to buy at the supermarket. Life in the city was damn expensive, and she was broke. She, however, didn’t have the option of leaving the city, not with the way her wolf craved for Asher. The animal was almost driving her crazy. So instead, Mia made her way through a part of town she was sure would be considered the headquar

As the days went by, Mia reached the realization that though Lonnie looked like a mean old grizzly bear, very possessive of his hidden cave, he was actually more of an oversize teddy bear, not the cuddly type though. And she, of course, would never say that to the man’s face. Neither would any of the regular patrons. Even for a human, Lonnie looked like he could handle himself well when offended. It was hard to believe it, but Mia had already been working at the Rider’s pub for a month. The days had flown by in a haze of alcohol and cigarette fumes. She often wondered if the humans knew how much damage they did to their bodies, or if they just didn’t care. But it wasn’t her business, so she kept her nose out of what the patrons did and her days went by. But the nights had dragged on at a painfully slow pace, made worse by her wolf trapped in her body. She hadn’t shifted form in an entire month. That did not make her wolf thrilled.

Asher let his head hang between his shoulders as though all the strength had left him. It felt like someone had drained him of every cell of energy in one breath. And it wasn’t just a physical sudden exhaustion, this was also mental, emotional and deep in his bones to his untouchable depths. His body shuddered with the effort to keep breathing. The man seated across from him on the other side of his desk cleared his throat, breaking the thick silence that had filled the office. Asher lifted his head and took in the man’s casual, yet smart, dress code. He had paired a pair of dark blue jeans with a navy jacket and white dress shirt open at the neck. For a moment Asher wondered if the man took his work in a casual, relaxed manner as well. Perhaps that would explain the results he had brought to Asher’s office. “Mr. Deavan, it actually isn’t that bad.” Asher lifted his brow and regarded the private detective he had hi

Ten serious looking men sat around the conference table covered in files and spreadsheets in the boardroom. The discussions were very formal and so was the atmosphere. They were dressed in varying degrees of gray suits and expensive shoes. The ties in different colors firmly knotted around their necks only added to the stoic atmosphere. Nothing in the room suggested bright sunny beaches and laughter. There were no flowers to brighten the space, just a large wall clock on the wall that reminded everyone how many hours they had been seated there. Even the weather outside the windows was gray and cold. The room and atmosphere reflected Asher’s mood perfectly, he thought. He sat at the head of the table, but his mind was barely on the discussions around him. It was a good thing they did not need his input at this point in the negotiations. Asher was certain he had even forgotten which company they were negotiating with. Just then, his phone

Her wolf nearly jumped out of her skin when Mia realized who was seated at the bar. If her mind hadn’t been miles away for weeks, she would have caught his scent above the usual stench of the place before she even walked into the main area of the pub, but she hadn’t. So she’d had no warning. For a moment, she actually thought she had imagined him out of her stressed mind, but there was no denying what all her senses were telling her. She could see him, smell him. And almost feel her body react to his. Fates, she could actually hear his heartbeat. Asher Deavan was in the pub seated at the bar, just like the very first time they met. It was so good to see him again. She felt like a heaviness had been lifted off her shoulders for a breathtaking moment, before it crushed back down on her like a kick to her chest. He couldn’t be here.Then he spoke. “Yes, Mia… Is everything ok here?” Asher said evenly, but she could still

A wave of intense satisfaction filled him. Persistence pays off, Connor thought as he watched a man across the street from his position in the dark alley. Well blended into the dark shadows of the alley, Connor could watch to his satisfaction without worrying that anyone would see him and raise the alarm. He knew nothing got humans more jumpy than a strange man just standing and watching. If any of them caught sight of him, they would be calling the police and causing a panic faster than he could blink. But Connor could relax, there was no way anyone could see him. It was barely midday; the morning was just rolling to an end, but the sun was high in the sky, giving off enough rays of heat that seemed to suffocate the humans walking about like headless chickens. They seemed to be everywhere, walking in all directions. Some, he could swear, were walking back and forth as though lost or unsure of their destination. Sweat was he
What Love doesn't know Chapter 30
Returning to Asher’s house brought a mixture of contradicting emotions. Two potent feelings, backed by a heavy load of thoughts, fought for the upper hand in her brain. On one side, she was glad to be back in his house. To be surrounded by his scent and his things. In his den. Even though she had barely left a footprint in the carpet, the last time she was there, it still gave her a feeling of finally being home. It was a welcome feeling, especially after spending so much time in places that were not fit for rats and cockroaches to live in. Just because she was part animal didn’t mean she had to live like one. So it was nice to be back in Asher’s house. But then again, on the other side, she was swamped with apprehension. A deep sense of dread gripped her gut, twisting it into a tight knot. It was mixed in with a healthy dose of guilt as well. Not only was she putting Asher’s life in danger by being there, but he had no idea what or who s
