Alpha Asher and Lola novel Chapter 53

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 53 – I had managed to grab a few more hours of sleep when I finally woke up. Alpha Asher’s arm was still tightly wrapped around my waist, his face buried in my neck as he breathed softly.

If it weren’t for today’s events, I would’ve stayed in bed indefinitely. My bladder was screaming at me, demanding to be relieved. I wrapped my fingers around Alpha Asher’s hand and pulled, making him groan.

“I’m not letting go.” Alpha Asher murmured into my neck, making a chill travel down my spine.

“If you don’t, you’ll have pee in your bed.” I scolded him, chuckling when his arm retreated from my body.

By the time I finished my business, Alpha Asher was sitting up in bed. The thick rays of sunlight hit his porcelain skin, making it glow temptingly. His rippled muscles begged to be touched, but now was not the time.

My phone vibrated on the bedside table murderously, a picture of Breyona’s face flashing on the phone.

I picked up my phone warily, accepting the call.

“Why am I hearing you’re fighting a d**n Alpha?” Breyona’s voice was a few octaves too high.

“Good morning to you too.” I mumbled incoherently.

“It’s nearly one in the afternoon.” Breyona snapped, and I could practically see her rolling her eyes. “It’s well passed morning, and don’t ignore my question.”

“Um—well, you’re hearing that because it’s true?” I frowned, pinching the bridge of my nose as Breyona launched into her lecture.

“Y’know, I gave no stock to those rumors. Even when you and Alpha Asher were missing from training yesterday. I figured he just had you holed up in his room, doing all sorts of bad things.” Breyona snapped, rushing her words out impatiently, “What have you gotten yourself into this time?”

“I know, I know.” I grimaced, ignoring her comment about Alpha Asher and I. “Maya already chewed me out rather good. I know I messed up.”

“And now you can’t back out.” Breyona huffed, clearly having a strong grasp on the situation. “You almost get taken by Vampires, and now you have to fight an Alpha.”

“If it makes you feel any better, I’m going to win.” I shrugged, using Alpha Asher’s sheet to cover my exposed body.

Alpha Asher lifted himself from the bed, walking over to me. His fingers wrapped around the thin sheet, pulling it from my body. I stood on the phone with Breyona, glaring at Alpha Asher’s cocky smirk.

“That doesn’t make me feel any better.” Breyona snapped, “And I know you’re going to win. You’re too stubborn not to.”

“Thanks for the confidence.” I grinned,

“Don’t thank me. Just stop getting into so much trouble.” Breyona sighed, “Meet Mason and I at the diner for lunch? The poor guy has been worried sick about you.”

“I’ll do my best.” I chuckled, “And I’ll be there, what time?”

“An hour.” Breyona responded, “I’ll see you then!”

“See ya.” I called out, hanging up the phone.

“And where do you think you’re going?” Alpha Asher lifted his dark eyebrow, his eyes burning into my exposed body.

“Breyona wants me to meet her and Mason for lunch.” I raised my own eyebrow in response, “I told her I’d be there. You can follow if you need to.”

Alpha Asher walked up to me, his arm snaking around my lower back. His dark eyes burned into my own, making my heart speed exponentially.

“Will you be good, Lola?” Alpha Asher murmured; his thumb pressed against my chin.

“I will.” I nodded honestly. “I’m just going for lunch.”

“Good.” Alpha Asher murmured, “I have to make sure everything is ready for this afternoon. Alpha Bran is making quite the spectacle of your fight.”

“Spectacle?” I scowled.

“Alpha Bran enjoys the crowd.” Alpha Asher murmured; his eyes dark. “He already believes he’s won—he wants to show off his prize.”

“I’m not his d**n prize.” I rolled my eyes, “And he hasn’t won anything yet.”

“And you won’t let him.” Alpha Asher murmured, a smirk forming on his face. “Meet me back at the house in a couple hours.”

After reluctantly pulling myself from Alpha Asher’s arms, I wrapped a sheet around my body and retreated to my own bedroom. I slipped on a pair of jeans, a light blouse and some shoes. After brushing the knots from my hair, I left the house and headed to the diner.

Dad had offered to buy me a car a few weeks ago, something I declined completely. Dad didn’t have the money to get me a car, not without struggling financially. Besides, everything in town was close together. The packhouse was located near the center of town, while my old house was just a bit further down the block.
