My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Record Breaking Run

Asher’s POV

After getting my heart shattered into pieces, I made myself a promise that love was off the table permanently.

I swore I would never allow anyone to trample all over my feelings again.

My mother used to say I loved too intensely, threw myself headfirst into relationships without holding anything back. I never considered that a flaw.

Not until Bianca chose someone else and ripped my heart straight out of my chest before crushing it under her heel. But I had to handle it with dignity.

I refused to act like some pathetic fool. I wouldn’t grovel or beg her to stay, not when she clearly wanted to be anywhere but with me.

The only option left was requesting a transfer. So I did exactly that.

And that decision led me directly to Dawn. I couldn’t have planned a better outcome if I tried.

Sure, we haven’t been acquainted for very long, but after last night spent together out in the field, something clicked. She makes me grin in ways Bianca never managed to accomplish.

She’s the one I’ve been waiting for. Every instinct tells me she’s exactly who I’m meant to be with. But I need to keep my cool about it. Coming on too strong will send her running in the opposite direction.

I can’t risk scaring her away. Not her.

I’ll make sure she knows I’m interested, but I won’t overwhelm her with the full intensity of what I’m feeling.

That can’t happen. Not with someone like her.

What really gets my curiosity going is this mystery guy she mentioned. She got completely uncomfortable when she brought up some soldier from her previous base who had shown interest in her, but she shut down the conversation before I could learn more details.

Maybe he played games with her emotions and then left her high and dry, probably embarrassed her in front of everyone.

Whatever happened between them definitely didn’t end well.

I can’t wrap my head around what kind of idiot would mess that up. She’s got more maturity and strength than any woman I’ve encountered. Even Bianca never displayed the level of composure that Dawn shows naturally. And Bianca’s my age while Dawn’s still quite young.

She knows how to have a good time but maintains her focus when it matters.

This obstacle course challenge has proven she can match any guy here step for step, and she’s absolutely determined to outperform Nico.

Watching him struggle to keep pace with her is honestly entertaining as hell.

Koa and I had planned to run through the course again alongside them, but this turned into such an intense head-to-head competition that we decided to step back. Corbin seemed perfectly content having us observe from the sidelines.

So there we stood, watching the entire showdown play out.

"You actually did it!" Corbin shouted at the top of his lungs. But Dawn collapsed onto the ground immediately, throwing her arms up over her head to expand her chest and pull in as much oxygen as possible. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
