Alpha Asher and Lola novel Chapter 21

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 20 – Brittany was gone before I could even spin around. My eyes scanned the club frantically, but her friend had vanished. Her hushed voice lingered in my ear., the implications swirling in my head.

She had seen Alpha Asher and I, While she made it sound as though she had caught us tonight, it could’ve been any time before. It was frighteningly clear that someone was infiltrating the pack. It wouldn’t be a long shot to assume they had caught Asher and I.

I hadn’t felt any eyes on me during my time in the alley, but then again I was horribly distracted. Anxiety flooded my system and I thought about how that could be used against me. Sure, Tyler wouldn’t be happy but I wasn’t worried about him or me. I was worried how this entire thing could affect Alpha Asher, and what ways it could be used against him. While Asher didn’t seem to be hiding our strange relationship, I wasn’t sure if either of us wanted it out in the open.

I would be mocked relentlessly. Once again known as the girl who chased after the Alpha. While I was much stronger, Maya and I wouldn’t be able to tolerate the bullying. We were too confident, too head strong. That was the downfall of living in a pack. No one could mind their own business.

I sat at the bar for quite some time, even going as far to order another drink. My eyes scanned the crowd of people. Many were dancing, others were drinking. A few groups of people sat at the tables on the raised platform, drinking and laughing the night away. My eyes flickered from face to face, looking for any flicker of recognition. It was foolish to think Brittany had only brought one ‘friend’ along.

After trying and failing to pinpoint any more of Brittany’s ‘friends’, I trudged away from the bar. My body was light and warm from the alcohol I had been drinking, but my mind was more than clear. The conversation with Brittany had cleared my head of any fog that might’ve formed. I was all too aware of the close proximity between everyone in the club, and for once I felt uncomfortable.

I wandered the club aimlessly, my eyes scanning for any sign of Mason or Breyona. H**l, I would’ve even taken Alpha Asher at the moment.

I locked eyes with Chelsea, who stood fifteen feet away. She was leaned against the wall talking to a muscular blonde man. It was clear from the nasal laughter that she was flirting. She shot me a d***y look and continued what I’m sure was a riveting conversation.

It was hard seeing past all of the people, as just about everyone was taller than me. My heart leaped when I spotted a familiar head of hair. Breyona’s short hair was nearly impossible to miss. Most she-wolves had long hair, simply because our hair and nails grew much faster than a humans.

“Breyona!” I called out louder than necessary, but I was desperate for a friendly face.

Breyona’s eyes lit up when she saw me and she called me over to a little table.

“Lola, gosh I was looking all over for you.” Breyona huffed, taking a seat at the rounded table.

Mason sat at her side, nursing what looked like a glass of whiskey.

“Did you check at the bar?” I raised my eyebrow at the two of them.

Breyona’s cheeks were flushed, and I wondered what the cause was. I’m sure I looked the same, but that was due to Brittany’s surprise appearance and my little meet up with Alpha Asher.

“I told you to check at the bar!” Mason rolled his eyes at Breyona.

Breyona frowned and shrugged, “I did check at the bar. She wasn’t there.”

“Which bar? There are like four.” Mason’s face turned up in a grin but it looked quite forced.

I rolled my eyes at my two friends and plopped down. Tonight was fluctuating like a roller coaster.

“What did Alpha Asher want with you, Lola?” Mason frowned, snapping me out of my spiraling thoughts.

Breyona’s face lit up deviously, and she leaned forward in her chair.

“Alpha Asher wanted you?” Breyona’s eyes glinted mischievously, obviously coming up with her own lucrative idea’s.

“He did.” I pursed my lips, not wanting to go into full detail with Mason around.

“Well give us the details!” Breyona practically cooed, hanging onto my every word.

My eyes flickered between Mason and Breyona. Mason’s face looked somewhat pained, most likely uncomfortable with the topic of conversation.

“We just talked.” I shrugged, my eyes still wandering the club.

‘Tell me later’, Breyona mouthed while Mason wasn’t looking. I gave her a short nod in response.

We stayed at the club for just a little longer. It was well past midnight and unfortunately we still had training in the morning. I could hear Maya groan in my head. The two of us truly loved sleep, and anything under eight hours was simply not enough.

Breyona was a whirlwind of chatter on the ride home. I sat in the passenger seat and listened like the dutiful friend I am.

“Ugh, you wouldn’t believe the night I had.” Breyona groaned, her cheeks still stained a suspicious shade of pink.

I let my lips turn up in a smirk, knowing my night had been extremely eventful as well.

“So there I was talking to this gorgeous man.” Breyona sighed dreamily and shook her head, “But then I smelled it.”

“That’s disgusting.” Mason cackled from the back, a goofy grin was spreading on his face.

“Mason you’re gross.” Breyona snapped, glaring at him through the rear view mirror. “You know what I meant.”

“What did you mean?” I asked clueless, still chuckling from Mason’s childish comment.

“I smelled him, Lola. My mate.” Breyona sighed, the dreamy look returning to her face.

“Wait, seriously?” My jaw dropped and I looked at Breyona in shock.
