Alpha Asher by Jane

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 96 – Asher’s voice faded in and out of the mind-link, undoubtedly because he had joined the fight. I could hear the anger and exhilaration in his voice, and my heartrate skyrocketed as anxiety took hold. My skin flushed a bright shade of red, and I slipped my jacket off as I fidgeted. Each mile felt like hours, and by the time the mile marker for our town appeared, I was nearing explosion.

Sean talked over our plan on the way home, but I had zoned out for most of the conversation. While I was physically seated in a moving vehicle, I was with Asher the entire time. Our bond burned brightly within me, reminding me that he was still alive–still safe, for now.

Sean pulled over at a small gas station on the outskirts of town. The lights in the little cube-shaped building were off, and not a single person was in sight. This gas station was technically off of Asher’s territory, but it was close enough to need evacuation. I flashed Tristan a grateful glance as I looked at the deserted store.

While the rest of Asher’s men, Sean, Mason, and I headed into battle, Tristan would get Holly to safety. It was a last-minute idea, but I plugged the address to Breyona’s late Aunt’s house into the GPS. Breyona had once been visiting Giovanni there, and it seemed fitting to use the house again. I passed the keys to Tristan with a hard look in my eyes. I was trusting him, more than I ever wanted to. First, I trusted him with my life, and now, my half-sisters. Even though I hardly knew the girl, I knew she deserved better than this life.

Tristan peeled off down the road, with a pale looking Holly in the passenger seat. Sean had reminded him to stay away from the main roads, and to avoid the werewolves at any cost. The rest of us slipped into the woods. Maya had been unconscious for the entire drive, building up strength from the constant contact with silver. I managed to make her stir, and grimaced as she yawned loudly.

“Not enough time to explain, but it’s time to wake up.” I called out to her. “The fight is happening now, and were about to head right into it.”

“I expect the full story later.” She replied, and I grimaced as the bones in my body began to shift.

There were no lines to tell one side from another. Some werewolves still fought in human form, using elongated claws and canines to k**l their enemies.
