Alpha Asher by Jane

Alpha Asher novel By Jane Doe chapter 8
After what felt like hours of silent shock, I threw my clothes on and trudged home. I still couldn’t form coherent words about what had just happened, or my bodies reaction to it.

While my blood boiled at how bold Alpha Asher acted, the sensitive spot in between my legs throbbed. I was torn between hating it and loving it. Maya was silent for once, leaving me to my internal struggle.

When I finally got home, I ran to my room to change out of my damp clothes. I threw on a plain t-shirt and a pair of cotton shorts. I joined the rest of my family for dinner and was happy to find my grandma had saved some sweets for me after all.

Sean turned to me as we were eating dinner, “So, Lola. Why’d you dump coffee on Ethan’s head?” A smirk formed on his face.

My dad snorted and nearly choked on his food as he gave me a shocked look. Quickly, his face turned red as he started chuckling.

“Lola, can’t you stay out of trouble?” He cackled and my grandma soon joined in.

I shrugged, rolling my eyes at the two of them. “He acted like an ass.”

I didn’t need to give more information than that, Sean and my dad knew exactly how Ethan was.

“Should’ve done more than that.” Sean chuckled.

I shrugged, “The coffee was Maya’s idea. I wanted to punch him in the throat.” That comment sent my grandma into fits of laughter.

After dinner I helped my grandma with the dishes and quickly headed to bed. I was excited to sleep in before going to lunch with Breyona tomorrow. What person gets excited about sleep? I do.

I took my clothes off and threw them on the bed, then made my way to the shower. When I was finished I threw the same t-shirt and shorts on.

I frowned at my pillow, noticing the folded piece of paper that sat on it. I could’ve sworn it wasn’t there when I had slipped my clothes off. How did someone get it in my room without me hearing? And more importantly, why was there no scent?

I grimaced as I turned the paper in my hand, my eyes widening at the picture that fell from it. I could easily make out my own form in the photo.

I was standing in front of the woods, looking around as I slipped inside. That was taken today, as I was heading to the secret swimming hole.

I set the picture on my dresser and let my eyes scan over the note.

You shouldn’t be wandering around alone, Lola.

The weird note set me on edge and I wondered who it could be. I couldn’t see Alpha Asher doing this, he already tormented me in person. The only other people that came to mind were Chelsea, Tyler or Ethan. There was no way Tyler would get close enough to this pack to leave a note in my room, not with Alpha Asher trying to end his life.

Ethan seemed like a flimsy suspect, but I could totally see Chelsea doing something like this.

I rolled my eyes and stuffed the note in my dresser. Without a second thought, I climbed into bed and succ*mbed to sleep.

I woke up screaming.

Someone was shaking me and the second I opened my eyes, I noticed someone’s face much too close to my own.

“Geez, Lola!” Breyona groaned, clapping her hands over her ears, “You’re gonna bust my damn ear drum!”

“What the hell!” I gasped, sitting up in bed as I glared at her.

“Dude it’s almost one in the afternoon.” She rolled her eyes, placing her hands on her narrow hips.

“And you couldn’t wake me up like a normal person?” I raised my eyebrow at her, dragging myself out of bed.

She shrugged, a mischievous smile on her face. “It didn’t cross my mind.”

“Oh, I’m sure.” I rolled my eyes at her. I grabbed a thigh-length floral dress and slipped it on, throwing on a pair of black sneakers as well.

I didn’t bother shooing Breyona away as I changed, I had been raised with Breyona. We first shifted together as kids, so nudity was never an issue between us.

“Since when did you get muscular?” Breyona asked, sitting on the love seat in my room as I brushed through my hair.

I shrugged, “An entire year of training does that.”

“I need to go wherever you went.” Breyona chuckled.

“I’m sure grandma would be more than happy to take you in.” I giggled.

“I wish. After the fight with Alpha’s pack my mom has become a little overbearing.” Breyona shuddered.

I frowned, “I understand that though. My mom was her close friend.”
