Alpha Asher and Lola novel Chapter 49

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 49 – Three suites in the pack house were assigned to Alpha Zeke, Alpha Bran, and Luna Freya. It made me uncomfortable to know Alpha Bran was staying in the same house, but rather him than Vampires.

‘What are we going to do about Brittany.’ Maya grimaced, ‘I still don’t trust her.’

‘I don’t either.’ I agreed, ‘But we need to accept the fact that she might be telling the truth. Brittany would have found out Tyler’s plan sooner or later.’

‘There’s always a chance she’s telling the truth.’ Maya rolled her eyes, ‘I’m not trusting anything until there’s proof.’

‘That works for me.’ I chuckled.

Alpha Asher allowed me to stop by my Dad’s on the condition he comes, of course.

Alpha Asher stood silently in my Dad’s living room, watching as I told them about Sean. Dad’s face turned into a grimace while Grandma’s filled with concern.

“He could’ve been lying.” Dad scoffed, “Sean’s smart. I can’t see him getting caught by Vampires.”

“He could’ve been.” I nodded, “But we can’t just ignore it.”

“And what’s being done about this?” Dad grunted; his eyes locked on Alpha Asher. I turned my own eyes on Asher, wondering the same thing. What would be done about Sean? If they had taken him, we hadn’t a clue where that might be.

“I’m gathering as much information as I can about the Vampires.” Alpha Asher’s eyes burned into my own as he spoke, “They’ve been gathering for quite some time, werewolves just never cared to notice. They have networks throughout some major cities, but the closest is in Atlanta, Georgia. If they took him, that’s where he’d be.”

I wasn’t sure why Alpha Asher was trusting us with this. Now that I was beginning to think before I acted, running off to Atlanta alone was an unbelievably bad idea.

“Are you sending men out?” Dad frowned.

Alpha Asher’s eyes burned into my own, something glimmering in their depths.

“Once we can narrow down to potential locations, I will send men out.” Alpha Asher nodded, “If he’s been taken, we will get him back.”

Alpha Asher’s words through me off guard for a moment. I hadn’t expected him to send people out to save my brother. Sean was just one member of the largest pack in the United States but was important to me.

It was around dinner time when we finally got back to the pack house. Grandma insisted on sending a couple containers of her chocolate lavender brownies, claiming everyone would love them. She wasn’t wrong, but seven containers were a bit too much.

After stocking an entire fridge with her brownies, I followed Alpha Asher upstairs. Staying by his side was much easier than I thought. His presence put me at ease and made me feel less on edge. Maya didn’t mind being by his side either, taking to him instantly. Alpha Asher was more on the quiet side. He never said much about what was going on but would constantly made little snide comments to me.

I had been silent the entire time, thinking over what he had said about Atlanta.

“Thank you—for that.” I grimaced at how uncomfortable I sounded.

Alpha Asher turned, as he was just about to open his bedroom doors.

“What was that Lola?” Alpha Asher smirked, his honey eyes meeting my own.

“I said thanks.” I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “For sending men out to look for my brother.”

“I’ve told you before—there’s other ways you can thank me.” Alpha Asher smirked, stepping closer to me. I stepped away, stopping when my back hit against the wall.

Alpha Asher’s eyes grew darker as they investigated my own. His hand lifted and cupped the side of my face. He let his thumb trace down my jaw, rubbing at my bottom lip.

“Are you going to be a good girl?” Alpha Asher smirked, running his thumb along my bottom lip. “Or are you going to fight me for it?”

The trouble I had gotten myself into today made me feel guilty, as it should. I decided this one time, I would give in. My body was already responding under his light touch. My legs clenched together on their own accord.

I let my lips part and Alpha Asher’s smirk deepened. His thumb grazed my teeth then finally went down to my chin.

Someone down the hall coughed in amusement, breaking my eyes from Alpha Asher’s. Beta Devin stood a good ten feet away, his lips pursed and his eyes struggling to remain serious.

“Excuse me Alpha.” Beta Devin nodded, his eyes flickering over Asher and I. “Alpha Bran wants to know if you and Lola are coming down for dinner.”

“Tell him something’s come up.” Alpha Asher smirked, “Have someone bring it to my room.”

My stomach dropped, and my eyes widened. A smirk formed on Beta Devin’s face, his eyes flickering to my own.

“Sure thing, Alpha.” Beta Devin nodded, turning down the hallway.
