Her Freezing Heart novel Chapter 18

Caleb and Carter shifted into their wolves and I hoped on Carter’s back. They dashed through the woods towards the shifter houses and came to a stop at the edge of the forest. I climbed off of Carter’s back and they went behind a tree to shift back.

“Please stay here. I want to go in his house alone.” I said to them when they came back from behind the tree.

They nodded reluctantly and made themselves comfortable near the forest edge as I started my walk towards my personal hell. I knocked on the door of Asher’s house and waited there anxiously for it to open. A few seconds later the door opened and an older version of Asher looked at me in shock.

“Amara.” Arthur said looking at me with wide eyes.

“Is Asher home? I want to talk to him.” I said with a straight face.

“Yeah… I mean no… come inside.” He spluttered.

“Who is it dear?” Christine asked coming out of the kitchen and froze seeing me.

I kept my face blank and made my way towards Asher’s room.

“Wait.” Arthur called out but I ignored him and opened his door to find the shock of my life.

On the bed were Asher and girl with brunette hair laying naked, their legs tangled with each other. They were sleeping peacefully. The room on the other hand was littered with their clothes. He spooned her the same way he used to spoon me. I felt a sharp pain in my chest making me bite my lip to stop myself from making any sounds of pain. I got to be strong. I can’t let papa die because of me. I shook my head to clear it.

“Asher.” I called out to him but my voice shook.

He didn’t move though. I cleared my throat and called him one more time but loudly. That woke him up. He looked at me and his eyes widened. I saw guilt in his eyes for a quick second but it quickly switched to anger.

“We need to talk.” I said to him, turned around and made myself comfortable on the sofa.

He came out wearing a sweat pant and closed the door behind him. He sat opposite from me and so did his parents.

“Why?” I asked swallowing the pain it was causing me.

“Well you didn’t expect me to wait around for you till you got back.” He said scoffing.

I nodded.

“So you didn’t care if it would have killed me?” I asked with a straight face.

I can feel my emotions slowly draining out of me. Is this the same guy who used to love me?

“Those things are just myths. You can’t actually die from me leaving you.” He said amused. “I mean you are still here sitting in front of me. Besides I have been going out with her since months and you didn’t feel a thing.”
