Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 61 – I promised Luna Freya I would speak to Alpha Asher about Brittany before the day ended. It was just another thing on my already full plate. I couldn’t ignore the look of concern in Luna Freya’s eyes, nor the fear she felt for her own daughter. I fully believed Luna Freya had faith in her daughter, but I remained rightfully suspicious. The last time I had met Brittany, she knew about the Vampire’s they worked with. While she could have found out later on, my suspicion remained intact.

I met up with Mason and Breyona outside of the training building. The moment I stepped outside; their eyes were locked on me. Concern and curiosity filled their gaze’s and I knew what they would ask before their lips parted.

My gaze flickered to Breyona, her eyes holding the same emotion. The two of them looked much like myself. Hair messy and face’s red from training, but wearing clean clothes. Breyona looked a little more worried than usual, but it seemed the entire pack was on edge.

There hadn’t been another m****r since Kanyon, and I hoped he would be the last. Alpha Bran, Alpha Zeke, and Luna Freya each brought a handful of men with them. Their men added to our own patrol, increasing security around our small town. I doubted the Vampire’s would strike with the added security, but it was best to always stay on guard. They had slipped through our defenses before, certainly they could again.

I debated telling Mason and Breyona the truth. I had already trusted the two of them with so much and felt guilty keeping this bit of information from them. I decided to tell them about Luna Freya and her daughter, desperate for another opinion on the matter.

“I’ll tell you at your house.” My eyes were set on Breyona. She shifted to her other foot, confusion filling her eyes. “I need to see that book your Mom showed me.”

“Alright.” Breyona nodded, “She won’t be home for another half hour. She’s already curious about your sudden interest in Vampire’s, asking a second time will make her suspicious.”

“That works for me.” I nodded, “I’m not sure Alpha Asher wants everything out in the open right now.”

Alpha Asher had been honest with everyone in the pack. They knew the a****k had something to do with Vampires, but hadn’t a clue of the severity of the situation. I could tell Alpha Asher hated keeping everyone in the dark, but he had to prevent panic from rising. Everyone was already on edge, but panic would lead to chaos.

The three of us headed to Breyona’s house. Her parents were teaching extra classes at the local college, but Breyona was used to living in a near-empty house. Her Mom and Dad both held a strong love for History. Their interests weren’t designated to a specific species. Vampire, Werewolf, Human, they were interested in all.

“It’s on her special bookshelf. Give me a minute.” Breyona huffed with an exasperated eyeroll.

“Special bookshelf?” Mason snorted, plopping down on the antique looking couch. “Who has a special bookshelf?”

“My parents do.” Breyona grimaced, the large book in her hands. “It’s where they keep all of their important texts and artifacts. They don’t like me touching it, so this stays between us three.”

“How priceless can a book be?” Mason raised his eyebrow at Breyona, but she merely shook her head.

“My parents have enough books and artifacts to fill a small museum.” Breyona chuckled dryly as she sat beside me on the couch.
