Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 68 – If Alpha Asher was surprised by the Vampire’s words, he didn’t let it show. Alpha Asher’s face remained an impassive mask, disinterest flashing in his eyes. I wondered how he managed to keep his cool, and how long it had taken him to perfect that technique. Alpha Asher raked his eyes over the Vampire lazily, a neutral expression on his face. I honed my features, hoping they would convey the same disinterest.

While my heart was a hammering mess, I meticulously checked the stable bookshelves in my mind. Each thought and memory were safely tucked away, bound in leather and stuffed onto a shelf. Before I could wonder if the man was a full-blooded Vampire, I felt someone entering my mind.

“Could you stay out of my head?” I raised my eyebrow at the Vampire, my eyes flashing dangerously. “It itches.”

Alpha Asher turned his eyes to me, letting them flash with caution and concern before wiping the emotions away. The raven-haired Vampire stared at me blankly before letting his lips turn up in a dazzling smile. While the smile transformed the man’s entire face, it was a smile that lacked any form of warmth or comfort. His smile was serpent-like, cold and calculating.

“My apologies, but surely you can’t blame me for trying.” The raven-haired man smirked, his emerald eyes bright and alert.

‘Instead of insulting me, let’s keep the Vampire’s out of our head.’ Maya grumbled, bristling at the close proximity between the Vampire and I.

“It is a welcome surprise to find you here, Alpha Asher.” The Vampire smirked, his emerald eyes raking over Alpha Asher before turning on me. His full lips turned up in interest as he met my eyes. Something dark twinkled in their depths, a knowing smile forming on the man’s face. “And a pleasure to finally meet you, Lola. I presume you’re here for one of our fighters.”

A low warning growl shook Alpha Asher’s chest, the Vampire’s smile deepening in response. The bright-eyed Vampire knew why we were here, who we had come for.

‘This could be a trap.’ Maya murmured, ‘They don’t plan on letting us leave.’

‘I knew we’d have to fight our way out of here the moment we stepped inside. Let’s make it count and take Sean with us.’ I nodded in response.

Alpha Asher’s voice filtered through my mind, anger lacing his tone. I could feel the presences of Breyona and the guys listening in, waiting for word of what happened.

‘They knew we were coming.’ Alpha Asher repeated what Maya had said, his voice hard yet determined. ‘We’re waiting for an opening. I’ll need a distraction to get the three of us out safely. When I give the signal, sow chaos.’

Annoying pinpricks danced behind my eyes as I looked at Alpha Asher. He was determined to lead this mission even though he had no obligation to my family. He could have just sent a team of men to do the job for him, but he knew I’d insist on coming along. He was willing to go so far to get my brother, willing to fight for his life. I felt the same as I thought about Breyona and Mason, how there was no hesitation when I asked for their help. I gathered up my strength and forced the tears away, giving the Vampire a hard look.
