Alpha Asher and Lola novel Chapter 5

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 5 – I gulped the fresh air and let the breeze cool my heated skin.

“What the h**l was that about?” Maya murmured, referring to my uncontrollable body parts.

I shrugged, “I have no idea. Can’t really blame me though, he is smoking hot.”

“You’re right there.” Maya smirked, “And a nice a*s.”

I scoffed, “You mean, he is an a*s.”

“Well well well, if it isn’t Lola. Never thought I’d see your face again.” A cocky voice called out.

I grimaced as Ethan made his way up to me. Ethan didn’t seem to change at all. He still had that lanky build with hints of muscle, and his blonde slicked back hair. He looked just as sleazy as ever.

“Ethan, so good to see you.” I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes at his stupid smirk.

I walked away and groaned as he followed.

“Your legs are too short. There’s no escaping me.” Ethan smirked proudly and I stifled a gag.

“Unfortunately.” I mumbled. I remembered very clearly his smug look when Tyler found his mate and left me in the dust. He was always encouraging Tyler to go out and try new girls. Thinking back on it, Tyler probably did cheat on me. Not that it mattered anymore.

Ethan smirked, walking much too close to me.

“So how’re you doing since the whole Tyler thing? Kind of embarrassing, huh?” His mocking tone made my blood boil and I came to a halt.

“Listen here,” I growled, taking a step closer. “It’s been a year. And entire f**king year. Now back the h**l off before I knock your teeth out.” I spat.

I turned on my heel and left Ethan’s annoying face in the dust.

“Ooh, she’s still feisty.” I heard his voice call out, and I flipped him the bird as I walked away.

“Still annoying as ever, isn’t he?” Breyona rolled her eyes, making me jump. I had been so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn’t noticed her standing there.

“Insufferable. I feel awful for his future mate.” I rolled my eyes, refusing to glance in his direction.

Breyona gave me a small smile, “So, where are you headed?”

“Oh, I’m just going home.” I shrugged, glancing at her. I couldn’t help the guilt that swirled around me when I thought of her.

What kind of best friend drops you for an a*****e boyfriend?

“My house is on the way. Mind if I walk with you?” She smiled.

“Not at all.” I was kind of surprised, but I knew I needed to apologize for what had happened between us.

“Look, I’m sorry okay? You know I’m not good with apologies, but I’m sorry for being the worst friend ever.” I frowned.

Judging from the look on her face, I definitely caught her by surprise.

“I forgave you when I found out what happened between you and Tyler.” She shrugged as if it were no big deal.

That was always one of my favorite things about Breyona. She never made a big deal out of things, and she wasn’t one for drama or gossip.

It su*ked at the time, but I honestly feel lucky.” I scoffed, trying to imagine myself as Tyler’s Luna.

Breyona chuckled, “As mean as this may sound, losing Tyler was the best thing that ever happened to you. You were always way too good for him.”

“Well, thank you for that.” I elbowed her side and gave her a playful smile.

For once, the thought of leaving and going back to grandma’s wasn’t so appealing. With Tyler gone, I felt like I could actually start over here. The only thing that would’ve made it better was my Mom. The thought send a sharp pang running through me.

“So, fill me in. What has life been like since I left?” I asked, and listened intently as she gave me a run down.

Breyona told me how her older sister and finally found her mate in a neighboring pack and was currently pregnant with her first child. Only a handful of our pack members actually died in the fight, my mom included. Alpha Asher was quick to end the fighting once our side surrendered, and once he realized our Alpha had abandoned them. I hadn’t realized before, but some part of me blamed Alpha Asher for the d***h of my Mom. I knew it wasn’t directly his fault, but the blame was still there. The rest of the blame I placed directly on Tyler’s shoulders.

“So, are you excited to find your mate?” I smirked at her, watching a light blush fill her cheeks.

She shrugged, “I’m not pressed about it.” I could tell there was something she wasn’t telling me, but I let it slide for now.
