Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Chapter 127

Chapter 127 – My hands trembled as I reached up and felt wildly for the seatbelt buckle, My vision was tinted red from the blood that trickled down my face, but I couldn’t-wouldn’t take my eyes off those boots.

I must’ve made some sort of sound when the stranger took a step forward, because suddenly they started sprinting. The glass crunched beneath their feet, the sound grinding against my teeth as they got closer and closer.

I knew how to keep a level head as my fear turned into full-blown panic, but no amount of thrashing or struggling helped free me from the car. My fingers were slick with blood, making it impossible to find the button that would free me. Spots danced in my vision and every breath took much more of an effort than it should.. I knew I had punctured something when the remaining air in my lungs crackled.

Something gave beneath my fingers. The click of the seatbelt was the last thing I heard before I slid from the seat and landed on the roof of the car. My hands and face stung from the pieces of glass embedded in them, which ratcheted higher with every movement I made.

I turned my head and looked out the shattered window, feeling my breath come faster with each passing second. There were no scuffed boots sprinting my way, only chunks of metal and shards of glass.

A wet cry tore itself from my chest as a face peered just outside of the car window.

 

“Why…” I tried to ask, feeling my eyes roll as I passed out.

My eyes snapped open, and I lurched forwards, feeling a sharp pain blossom across my chest and stomach. The instantaneous rush of adrenaline that surged through me, made my head throb until my vision turned blurry.

 

I was battered by memories, bulldozed by the pain of a harsh impact. I remembered the c***h, the car that Asher had loaned me, crushed like an empty soda can. He wouldn’t care about the car-no, but he would be worried about me. There was no mind-linking him with my head pounding like this, so hard I could feel the vibrations in my teeth.

A face flashed in my mind, the last thing I saw before I passed out.

I slammed myself against the passenger door of the vehicle I sat in, barely registering the pain as I wiped at my eyes, trying desperately to clear my blurry vision. The spots faded from my eyes, and even though I knew my captor, I didn’t relax.
