Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 55 – I had finally given in the night Lola moved into the packhouse. I had taken Mason home and went home myself. Tonight, was another night I was still in my bed. Sleep refused to claim me, instead placing images of Giovanni in my mind.

My soul had found its other half and being away from him was nearing painful.

When the frustration had become too much, I leaped from the bed. My Mom was already asleep, her soft snores floating down the hall. I couldn’t even bring myself to change, leaving the house in my pajama’s.

I sped down the road, disregarding the speed limit signs. My soul and wolf knew where I was headed, the two of them wanted to get there quickly.

Unknowingly, I reached out with my heart. I was searching for Giovanni, silently pleading as I hoped he would come to the house.

The windows were dark as I pulled into the driveway for the second time. I found myself sitting in my Aunt’s armchair, sleep refusing to claim me. I felt wired and awake, sleep the farthest thought from my mind.

 

When Giovanni silently stepped through the door an hour later, I launched myself at him.

His body stiffened as I slammed into his chest, but the anticipation had been building for too long. I knew this was wrong, deep down I knew it. My mind and body were at war with each other, claiming they both knew what was best.

 

I would never betray Lola or my pack, but surely, I deserved these few moments of peace. These were all I had until the inevitable happened. Either Giovanni chose me, or he chose his kind.

“Little she-wolf.” Giovanni cleared his throat, taking a step back from me. “I felt you reaching out to me.”

“I didn’t know what I was doing.” I frowned, “I just—I had to come here.”

I was at a loss for words, but it seemed Giovanni was in the same situation.

“I have been feeling things—for you.” Giovanni cleared his throat again, his eyes flashing with reluctance. “It has been difficult staying away from this house.”

“I know.” I breathed, my eyes roaming every inch of him. “It’s been hard for me too. I couldn’t stay away any longer.”

Giovanni’s lips parted to say something but closed shortly after. I took his hesitation and tossed it to the side. I knew what I wanted, and right now I wanted to pretend.

I wanted to pretend he wasn’t a vampire, and I wasn’t a werewolf. We were just two normal people who happened to share a connection. I wanted just a moment of this before reality crashed down, guilt following.

I threw my arms over his shoulders and pressed myself against him. He was too tall for me to reach his lips, so I freckled light kisses across his jaw. His body tensed under my touch, but he made no move to distance himself.

I knew I had won when his arms snak*d around my waist, pulling myself tighter against him. His head bent down, his lips meeting my own. I could feel the emotion he held back, the hunger that hid behind his eyes.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, my logical side was screaming. I was kissing a Vampire in the middle of nowhere. He could m****r me and leave my body to rot. It could be quite some time until my Mom thought to look here.
