Alpha Asher and Lola novel Chapter 46

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 46 – My head was throbbing rapidly, following the beat to one of the songs Breyona constantly listened to.

It took me several minutes to finally open my eyes, the beating in my head subsided in the slightest. Surprise registered in my head when I realized the bedroom. Memories flashed through my mind, filled with both pleasure and pain.

This was the bed I had received my hours long punishment on, one I was still healing from. The sensitive spot between my legs throbbed once, reminding me of the pleasure I had felt.

I sat up in bed, grimacing as I looked down at my clothes. Someone had changed me before setting me in Alpha Asher’s bed.

I let out a low groan as I pulled myself from the bed, wobbling on my own two feet.

“I demand an answer for your behavior.” Alpha Asher’s snarl was abrupt, nearly making me topple over.

His voice startled me, causing me to clutch the thin fabric of the t-shirt I was wearing to my chest. The t-shirt smelled like Alpha Asher, and my heart hammered as I realized who it belonged to.

“Quit gaping at me and answer.” Alpha Asher snapped, rolling his eyes.

He sat on the other side of the room, resting in a large armchair. He had a glass of liquor in his hand. Judging from the sun shining through the window, it was much too early to be drinking.

“I’m not gaping.” I snapped, speaking the first thing that came to mind.

I needed a minute to think about last night, to ponder what happened. I was ready to leave with Tristan. H**l, I wanted to leave with Tristan. His skin against my own, it felt right for some reason. The side of me that wanted Tristan was growing stronger, yearning for him more. That side didn’t diminish how I felt about Alpha Asher. The intoxicating feelings I had were still there, leaving me even more confused. I was sure one of them would be my mate, but who?

I couldn’t imagine myself with either of them. I wasn’t Luna material, and I wasn’t sure I was mated to a Vampire. Both choices sounded strange in my mind, and yet I felt a connection to both of them.

‘You idiot.’ Maya’s voice growled throughout my mind.

‘I’m sorry, Maya.’ I frowned, ‘I didn’t expect to be thrown off guard like that.’

My blood ran cold, the words Tristan had said that sent me over the edge still rang clear in my ears. I felt hatred mingle with the desire I felt for him. The a*****e had something to do with my brother leaving, I was sure of it.

“That’s not what I asked, Lola.” Alpha Asher growled lowly, standing from his seat on the armchair.

“You would’ve never let me go.” I shook my head, “We needed information. They would’ve known I hadn’t come alone.”

“So, you decide to put yourself in danger.” Alpha Asher scoffed, “What did you learn Lola? Tell me.”

“I think they took my brother.” I frowned, “That and they’re just getting started.”

“So, you learned nothing.” Alpha Asher scoffed, shaking his head.

More memories hammered my brain, images flooding through my mind.

“You have Tyler.” I gaped, “You have Tyler. Obviously, that counts for something.”

“Tyler is nothing.” Alpha Asher sneered the word. “Refuses to speak, no matter how badly we torture him.”

I should have felt bad for Tyler—I really should have, but I couldn’t. The thought of torturing someone made my stomach turn, but Tyler had put himself in this position.

“He’ll break.” I shook my head, “Tyler isn’t strong.”

“Lola.” Alpha Asher exhaled sharply, his fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. “You’re lucky you survived.”

“I knew they wouldn’t hurt me.” I shook my head.

“How do you know?” Alpha Asher’s eyes turned dark. “Is it that Vampire you mentioned? What was his name? Tristan.”

Alpha Asher snarled Tristan’s name, his eyes growing black. I was tempted to stumble backwards, unable to handle a repeat of the night before.

“He wants me.” I shook my head, “I don’t know why, but he does.”

“He can’t have you.” Asher snarled, backing me up against the wall.

My heart hammered in my chest as Alpha Asher glared down at me. Many emotions were swirling in his eyes. He was furious with me, but desire was present as well. Desire and fury mingled in his gaze, setting my insides on fire.

“I don’t want him.” I assured him, but part of me knew that was a lie. Part of me did want him—she wanted him bad.

‘It’s that stupid mark on your shoulder.’ Maya hissed, ‘It’s messing with your head.’

I wasn’t sure if I believed her or not. Was it the mark? Or was it the mate bond trying to pull me towards my other half? What would I do is Tristan was my mate? Would I have the strength to reject him?

“You say that, but I don’t think your being honest Lola.” Alpha Asher leaned in close, his lips nearly grazing my ear. “Do you need a repeat of last time?”

“N-No.” I stammered as his hot breath fanned against my ear.

Alpha Asher’s hands traveled down my waist, squeezing my hips roughly. The pain made my core throb, already begging for more.

“Then why are you lying to me?” Alpha Asher whispered gruffly, yanking up the t-shirt I was wearing.
