Chapter 29
Asher’s p.o.v
Why! Why can’t she just listen to me!
She would have been safe in the room, but fuck no.
“Find them. Split up” I shout, to a few pack members, and they run.
“Alpha Hayes” I hear Adam behind me. I look at him, and smile slightly.
“I told you guys, it’s not Alpha for you. Just Asher. You’re rouges, so you don’t have to call me Alpha Hayes” I say and he nods, along with his sister, Bailey.
“Do you guys need anything?” I ask, looking around.
“Yeah. We found your son Ethan, and another girl” I look at him, quickly.
“Where?” He points to the trees. I run towards it, and hear Ethan crying. I look behind the tree to see Ethan crying.
“Shush” I pick him up slowly, pulling him close to me.
He’s safe. Sweetheart is safe.
“Adam, go bring her for me please” I say, and he nods running behind the trees.
He comes back with Charlotte. No.
“No! Not her! Sweetheart! I need sweetheart. Remember, the girl you guys helped when she went out looking for Hailey?” I ask and he nods, placing Charlotte on the floor, and they both shift into their brown wolves and run.
I remember that day. I knew sweetheart was going to go and get Hailey. Because that asshole, made her think it was all her fault.
And I knew if I went with her, everyone will know then. So I sent Adam and Bailey, and their group of friends.
Adam and Bailey are rouges. They are my best friends as well. I know them longer than I know Holden. I asked then if they wanted to join my pack, to become a part of it, but they liked the life of a rouge. It was free. And I know how it feels, to be alone all night, in the cold.
So I helped them. I helped them by building a pack house, making the whole place no man’s land, for rouges only. It was like rouges territory.
Holden. I didn’t know where he was. But then someone said that he went out looking for luna. I trust Holden, because even thought sweetheart rejected him, he’s not a bad guy.
“I’ll take you back. I’ll make you have a bath, get you changed into some new clothes, and then I’ll look for your mommy, okay?” I whisper to Ethan, as we walk back to the our house.
I walk inside to see Emily sat on the sofa.
“Asher! Where is she?” She asks
“I’ll find her. I promise” I mumble walking upstairs
“Asher, don’t walk away from me! I’m here to help!” She shouts following me upstairs.
“Don’t shout. Ethan will start crying. I said I’ll look for her. But I’m going to clean Ethan first. His clothes are filthy. We can’t see sweetheart like that right?” I look at him, and he smiles at me, as we walk into my room.
“I’ll look for her” she mumbles closing the door behind me.
I look at Ethan and smile. Everyone says he looks like me, but I think he looks like sweetheart. The same eyes, the same hair.
And he looks like he’s at least 1-2 months now. It’s becomes he’s an Alpha baby, and a Beta baby. Both strong.
Hailey kids, look the same age, because they only have the werewolf genes one way. Vincent. But Ethan is better than them. He’s better than everyone. Because he’s mine and sweetheart’s baby.
“I’m going to put you here okay?” I place him on the bed. I walk to the bathroom, and pull out his baby bathtub. It’s still big, for him to sit in, but it’s not as big, as the adult size one.
I fill it up with warm water, and place it in the bathtub.
I walk out and pick Ethan up, bringing him to the bathroom.
“For mommy, you have to look nice, right? You can’t have these ugly clothes on right?” I take his pants off, and his shirt, leaving him in his diaper and his vest, which says, ‘I love mommy more than daddy.’
“Once you’re dressed, I’m going to go and get your mommy for you, okay?” I say, taking the vest off him, and the diaper, then placing him in the water. He starts laughing.
“You know Ethan, when you grow up and find your mate, don’t delay in. Mark her, get married. And you’ll live happily ever after” I say, washing his head slowly.
Normally sweetheart, washes him up, but I’m still trying my best.
When I know he’s clean, I stand up and bend down, picking him up.
“You can’t touch me. You’ll get me wet”I say, placing him on the small changing bed.
I wrap a towel, around him, and pull him towards me.
“Now, we’ll get you changed into something your mommy likes right?“I walk out of the room, to see Mia sat on the bed.
“Mia?” I place Ethan on the bed, slowly, and cover him up with the covers. He’ll be cold.
“Asher, wait!” She stops me as I walk to the closet.
“Yes?”
“Stop torturing yourself. Go look for her. I’ll get Ethan dressed” I close my eyes, removing my hand from the closet door.
“You sure?” I whisper
“Yeah”
“Thank you” I whisper, placing a kiss on Ethan’s head, and running out of the room. I open the front door to see Charlotte.
“Asher!” She runs to me and hugs me tightly.
“You were with sweetheart. I can smell her. Where is she?” I ask, removing her arms from me.
“They- they killed her Asher.” She whispers, tears in her eyes. I growl
“No! No! They didn’t! Charlotte stop lying to me! I would have felt it! They didn’t kill her!” I growl louder
“Asher, they did. I seen it. They had me locked up. It was Selena. She shot her. 5 times, Asher, 5 times” she whispers and I shake my head
“No! I hate you! You’re lying to me! Sweetheart wouldn’t give up!” I shout, and Mia runs downstairs with Ethan in her arms.
“Ethan, he’s safe” Charlotte smiles.
“Asher what’s wrong?” Mia asks me
“Sweetheart wouldn’t leave me. She promised. You all said that sweetheart never breaks her promise. So why is she saying that she did!” I mumble, then growling at Charlotte.
“What so you mean?” Mia asks, as Vincent runs towards us with Holden behind him. I glare at him. It’s his fault. It’s his sister’s fault.
“Asshole! Get your fucking sister here now!” I shout running towards him, but Vincent stands in my way.
“Explain” Emily says, behind me.
“The last thing I remember, is Selena shooting luna, 5 times.” Charlotte whispers
“No! Stop lying!” I shout at her, turning to Emily.
“She’s lying right?” Tell me she’s lying?” I whisper. Emily knows if she’s lying. She has powers.
“She’s lying. Layla can’t die like that. She would still be alive. The only person who can kill her is Jason and you” she says to me.
“What?” Charlotte asks, confused.
“You’re lying to us. Layla has a power. A power to destroy anyone, anything. No one knows about it. The only way, you can stop the power is using wolfbane on her. A fucking load of it, on her. But that won’t stop her. She’ll get her powers back in a few hours. The power never leaves her. She’ll get angry, and free herself.” Emily explains, looking at Charlotte.
“Bu-But, I seen it. I-I saw it” she stutters
“Maybe. Or maybe you’re lying to us. Maybe you know where she is. Maybe you know what’s happening to her. Maybe you’re on it as well” I turn to Charlotte.
Maybe she is. Why is she back and not sweetheart?
“If I was on it, do you really think I would show myself. Emily you have powers, don’t you want to use then on me, to see what I’m thinking?” Charlotte says to Emily. She shakes her head
“I would be careful with who you talk to Asher. We can’t trust anyone” Emily looks at me.
“I’m going to go and rest. Shall I take Ethan with me?” Charlotte asks and Emily shakes her head.
“No.” Emily freezes her.
What?
“She’s part of this. She knows where Layla is. We need to get to her before Jason does.” Emily says, looking at Charlotte,who’s smirking.
“It took you a long time to find out didn’t it? I mean, especially with powers?” She rolls her eyes, as Emily walks towards her.
“Tell me where Layla is” Charlotte giggles
“Do you really think I would do that? I bet Jason is loving his time with her now? I mean, he can have a lot of sex with her” Emily slaps her.
Good. Or I would have fucking pulled her hair out.
“Tell me! Tell me where Layla is!” Emily says
“Do you really think I would tell you like that?” Emily nods.
“You guys leave her to m-” she stops, looking at Holden as he moves back.
“Holden, come here” he stops, and them starts walking forward. Emily freezes him as well.
It would be so cool to have a fucking power.
“Why were you walking away?” He doesn’t reply.
“I’ve noticed something about you. Ever since you rejected Layla, you’ve been acting weird. You’re on it as well, right? Why?” Emily sighs, running a hand through her hair.
She needs Alec. She can’t do this alone.
“Layla is mine”
“Asshole” I punch him, but he doesn’t move out of place, because Emily froze him.
“Asher stop, or I’ll freeze you as well. I’m in the mood to freeze everyone” Emily says and I growl at Holden.
“You better not kill him, Emily. Because I’m going to kill him” I mumble stepping back.
“Holden you were her mate” Emily says
“I know. But she chose him. He wasn’t nice to her, I was. I love her!” He shouts
“If you love her, tell me where she is. Because if she sees Jason, and he rapes her again, I swear to god, that she won’t survive. She’ll think her power will work against him. But it won’t. It’ll backfire and hurt her. All it takes is one shot. One shot to end a life. Tell me where she is?”
Rape? Shot? One? Jason? Kill? Backfire? What?
“Rape?” I whisper
“This isn’t the time” Emily mumbles and I look at Holden.
“Holden. Please tell me where she is. Please. I can’t loose her. You know me Holden, I’ve lost everyone. Don’t make me lose sweetheart” I whisper, walking towards him. He stares at me.
“She’s in Riverdale” he says and I nod, punching him.
“Fucking asshole” Charlotte growls at him.
I’m coming for you sweetheart.
