Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 23

It felt like the entire pack was holding it’s breath.

No one but I and Beta Devin knew of Alpha Asher’s travels, but the news of the two deaths spread like wildfire. Everyone in town was on edge, wondering who was next or if it would even happen again. Not a single person could come up with any useful information. There were no witnesses the night of Kanyon’s d***h. No one saw anything. It was as though the k****r simply vanished into thin air. The people on patrol that night didn’t report anything strange, noting it was quiet that night.

“I wonder if any of this would’ve happened if I had just stayed with Grandma.” I shrugged, walking to patrol with Breyona and Mason.

Breyona rolled her eyes, “If Tyler’s behind it then it would’ve happened regardless.”

“He’s probably pissed Alpha Asher’s running his pack.” Mason shrugged.

“It’s Tyler’s fault for pissing him off.” I shook my head, “If Tyler wasn’t an arrogant p***k two innocent people wouldn’t be d**d.”

“It’s not good to dwell on stuff like that.” Breyona shrugged, “Gotta live in the present, y’know?”

I stopped walking and gave her a strange look, “Have you been talking to my Grandma?”

“She’s a smart lady.” Breyona noted with a chuckle.

“Too smart.” I raised my eyebrow in response.

Breyona turned left down the street while Mason and I turned right. Mason and I were paired to run patrol together, while Breyona was stationed at the other side of town.

We had two new people with us tonight. From the looks of it, they were definitely Alpha Asher’s men. Both were large in stature, covered in ornate tattoo’s and rippling muscles. One of the men had startling blonde hair, long and messy on his head. The other had hair the color of midnight, cropped short and slicked to the side. Both looked equally intimidating with their tattoo’s and scars, but that didn’t bother me. If anything, I felt a little safer out here as though a piece of Asher was with us.

“I’m guessing you’re Lola and Mason.” The blonde one grunted, sparing us a short glance. “I’m Carter, that’s Wade.”

The raven haired man grunted, his eyes shifting over the two of us. He had a scrutinizing gaze with a set of piercing blue eyes.

“That’s us.” I grinned, letting it widen as I took in Mason’s bewildered expression. “So, how do you boys wanna do this?”

The cool breeze rushed through our fur, introducing new scents to our nose. The cool breeze would’ve been cold on my human skin, but it felt like a cool caress through Maya’s fur. The smell of wet earth and tree’s was strong in my nose, but something else lingered in the air. It was the smell of something sweet, like candy or syrup. The only strange
