The Alpha Who Saved Me novel Chapter 196

Chapter 46

Asher

I feel as though this is all my fault; I was the one carrying her on my back. I felt it when her body tensed up at the sight of the she-wolf being tossed to the rogues and I should have stopped her from shifting. I need to make this right somehow, I need to get her back and when I do, she will never be out of my sight again.

"Will you stop with the blame already?" Holden sighs at me, "None of this is your fault, it's the witch's fault and we will get her back together; do you understand? In no way will you be doing this by yourself!"

"How did you know what I was thinking?" I ask scrunching my face up.

"I can feel your emotions, Ash. So, I just called on a vision of you and it told me everything I needed to know. Not so much with images but with feelings and such." He shrugs like it's a natural thing.

"I'm not so sure I like this new power of yours." I scowl.

"Ash," Ledger lays his hand on my shoulder, "I was right there as well, and I can beat myself up over not being able to do something at the time, but your brother is right. None of this is your fault and you couldn't have prevented it. We will get her back."

Q00%

"She's already been there overnight; that sick fuck could

be doing anything to her right now!" I slam my hand down on the table that we are all sitting around.

"The prisoner said he wouldn't be touching her until tonight..." Decker states.

"And we are going to go off of what a hunter tells you when you are threatening his life? Of course, he will tell you whatever he thinks you will want to hear!" My anxiety is through the roof at the moment, and I won't be able to relax until our mate is back home with us.

"Calm down sweetie." My mother places her hands on my shoulders from behind me as I sit. I can feel her own powers flowing through me as she tries calming me. It works, and I can feel my body start to relax.

"Thanks Mom. I don't mean to be so frantic but the longer he has her the more anxious I become." I explain.

"You never have to explain your actions when it comes to your mate. I know all too well, we all do, sweetheart. We are only wanting to remind you to try and keep your head on, so we can come up with some kind of plan." She means well, and I'm trying to accept that but yet I'm a bit annoyed as well and I'm pretty sure it's Blaze that's giving off these emotions.

'Blaze, we need to calm down like mom says. We won't be able to think straight and plan accordingly if our emotions are all over the place.' I try to calm him like mom did me but it's a bit more challenging.

'Easy for you to say, I was the one carrying our mate, you were just along for the ride!' He sneers at me.

'Oh really? We are going to play this game, are we? WE

ARE THE SAME, BLAZE! Let's just concentrate on getting her back now, okay?'

'Fine,' he growls, 'but we better have her back by tonight!'

I turn my attention back to the others and nod, indicating that I'm good. I'm hoping I'm good anyway; I seem to be the only one that isn't keeping it together. It could be due to what I went through; I only just came back to my mate, and I've al- ready lost her again. I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths, getting a hold of myself before I lose it completely.

"Now, Quinn and I have been going through Marko's spell book," Cici informs everyone as she slams the huge book down on the table in front of everyone.

"Damn, I've forgotten how big that book was!" Ledger

states.
