Alpha Asher by Jane

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 66 – My eyes snapped open, my body jolting upright as we hit a bump in the road. I must’ve dozed off, as the road signs said Atlanta was a mere ten miles away. My nap had been dreamless, floating in the blissful darkness without a lingering thought. The knots in my stomach came back full force as I remembered what we were doing tonight.

Alpha Asher had talked to me in private, telling me the role I’d be forced to play. I’d pose as Alpha Asher’s girlfriend, a title I wasn’t completely opposed to. It was clear there was something going on between the two of us, and I hadn’t seen Alpha Asher with another she-wolf. The thought made me smug, and yet I continued wondering what we were to each other. Thinking about Alpha Asher was an enjoyable distraction from our mission tonight.

While Wade had an alluring calmness to him, Carter was practically bursting at the seams. If anyone was excited for what tonight had in store, it was Carter. For the first half of the drive, Carter was jumping with excitement at the thought of k*****g a Vampire. Carter had been trained in Alpha Asher’s pack his entire life, never old enough for actual battle. This was the first time Carter was leaving the pack, going on his first mission. Alpha Asher stifled Carter’s exited rant with a growl, allowing the silence to continue. While Carter and Wade seemed attached at the hip, Wade had battled against rogues’ countless times.

The full impacts of our mission dawned on me as we hopped on the exit for Atlanta, GA. There was so much that could go wrong, that could leave Sean injured or worse. We had little time to plan, forced to strike before they moved Sean to another location.

My biggest fear was someone at the club recognizing Alpha Asher or I. I couldn’t see Tristan visiting a club to watch men fight to the d***h, but better to be prepared.

In between the silence, I practiced what my Grandma had told me. I rebuilt the crumbled bookshelves in my mind, placing my thoughts between each page. An hour later and a dull headache, the library in my mind was organized. It had been left in shambles the last time I faced Tristan. A cold chill ran across my skin at the thought of facing him again.

We veered off the exit into Atlanta, GA and was instantly met with the sprawling city. Sky scrapers sat in clu*ters, shining windows and bright lights. Tourists and residents were bunched in pairs, walking down the sidewalk without a care in the world. I watched as Mason’s eyes glazed over, no doubt living through every memory he had here.

We drove through the center of the crowded city. The sun had long ago set, drawing out the vast night-life of Atlanta. Neon signs hung at the ends of corners pointing at various clubs and bars. The smell of freshly cooked food and alcohol was being carried on the breeze.

We continued driving, past the crowds of scantily dressed women, past the vibrant clubs with their pulsing music. Soon the crowds began to thin, the number of people outside dwindling significantly.

Alpha Asher pulled into a poorly lit parking lot, the tires of the SUV crunching loudly as it drove over the loose gravel. Confusion was written clear on my face, my eyes glued to the dark and grim building in front of us.

It looked to be an old warehouse, some of the windows blocked and boarded. The outside of the warehouse was covered in sprawling vines inching their way up to the sky. Just as I readied to open my mouth and insist, we came to the wrong place, I noticed the number of cars occupying the parking lot.

We parked towards the front, as close to the doors as we could manage. New cars of varying color’s and models were scattered around the parking lot. Each car looked shiny and new, some newer than others.
