Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Read Alpha Asher [by Jane Doe] Chapter 38 – Unknown P.o.v

Lola had become a key player in this game of ours, a game that ended in life and d***h. What was even more entertaining, she was clueless about her true nature.

There were plenty of Werewolves and Vampires mixed with Humans, but Human’s were a grey area. Werewolves had their mates, Vampire’s chose their own. Werewolves never mated with Vampires, it simply wasn’t fate.

Something had changed, gone wrong in the making of this wild-card. I was bloodthirsty, determined to find every facet of the truth. I started with Lola’s parents, digging up every lead I could.

All known records stated both parents as Werewolves. An interesting piece of evidence gave me insight to Lola’s parents. I had proof her Mother had given birth to her. It was quite easy to deduce from there. Her mother was unfaithful, coupling with a Vampire behind her husbands back. Thus produced, Lola.

It was a simple hunch that forced me to dig for the identity of Lola’s father. It was nearing impossible, as there were no records.

She had upped the odds in Alpha Asher Desmond’s favor, shifting the game. Lola was a factor I hadn’t anticipated, but I feverishly enjoyed. A wild-card, someone able to play for either team.

The Kings interest in her piqued my own, and I longed to learn the reason behind his well-placed façade. What was Lola to our King? His interest could easily be due to her heritage. The chance at having a mole on the inside was incredibly attractive. There were thousands of ways we could dispose of Alpha Asher Desmond with the help of Lola, the victory would be much too easy.

The King had me following Lola, learning her every move. He wanted to know the extent of her loyalty and the chance of it being swayed. The odds were not shifting in our favor. Her loyalty to her pack was strong, her ties to her family were unbreakable. And yet, everyone has a weakness. Everyone has a string to pull, one that can shift them entirely.

Another factor was thrown into the mix when I nearly walked in on a private conversation between the King and someone else. The voice was familiar, the nasal pattern unflattering.

I remained silent, forcing my ears to identify the muffled voice behind the thick door.

A name clicked in my mind; Brittany.

Just as the name registered, the door swung open. Brittany’s eyes widened as they looked over my impassive face. I kept my peaked curiosity hidden away, concealing it behind a mask.

The fear was painted all over her features, even as she struggled to maintain the illusion of normalcy. The King was behind her, his face trained on my own.

“Come inside.” The King ushered me in, sending Brittany away.
