Alpha Asher By Jane Doe

Chapter 153

 Chapter 153 – Asher made himself scarce for the rest of the night per Breyona’s orders. Zeke stopped by half an hour after our conversation about the past and stole him from the front step after promising no alcohol or half-naked women. He made sure to clarify that meant for Asher and not himself before peeling off into the night.

‘Wait till he finds out instead of a kegger, we’re teaming up with tonight’s patrol.’ Asher’s voice was amused as it rumbled in my head, each syllable an aftershock that made goosebumps lift along my arms.

‘You’re going to ruin his entire night.’ I bit back my laughter as the doorbell rang and both Cassidy and Breyona’s cheerful faces played on the security camera. ‘I have to go now; the girls are here. Maybe give a little and let the poor Alpha have a beer, he’s been working hard since Carson’s d***h.’

I couldn’t make out Asher’s reply because I’d already opened the front door and my head now rang with the excited chatter of Cassidy and Breyona.

The cheerful blonde of the two toted in what looked like a kit full of nail supplies and make-up, while Breyona held up two bottles of the dark-colored whiskey Giovanni and Asher often drank. The maple and teak finish were still growing on me, but for Breyona it was an instant favorite.

“So, I came overprepared. Bite me.” Cassidy said with her nose in the air but paused when she remembered who stood beside her. Breyona already had a cheeky grin on her face, so only a second passed before Cassidy began laughing and said, “I would say that while standing in a room with a vampire and a vampire’s mate.”

 

“No worries, we only take our blood from bags.” I teased and waited for the flash of disgust or hesitance to cross her face.

Only laughter shimmered in her baby-blue’s, which grew as she charged up the stairs after Breyona. I followed quickly behind, my heart light and smile wide even though I had questions for both of them tonight.

 

I could ask about Cassidy’s date with Lars while Breyona was in the room, but when I retold the story of how I made yet another unbreakable deal with the shadows to save my best-friends life, I preferred the two of us alone.

Like everyone else, Cassidy knew little to nothing about the shadows, and I wanted to keep it that way.

An hour later, with our nails freshly painted and one bottle of liquor down, we stumbled into the kitchen to order what was probably an obscene amount of pizza-or what would’ve been if we were three human girls and not three tipsy she-wolves.

The entire wait for the food I ran over various scenarios to get Breyona alone. Mind-linking was always an option, but I knew her face would give away the truth. All I needed was five minutes to explain the truth before I could make my escape and seek solace in the second bottle of liquor she brought.
