Kayla
I sighed and started going out of the chamber when a hand forcefully pulled me back. I glanced back and my eyes fell on Emily’s brown menacing glare. I shook her filthy hands off my body and I watched her eyes twitch with something in them, but I couldn’t tell exactly what was in her gaze.
“Haven’t you done enough? What is it that you want?” I broke the silence, falling my gaze back at the door.
I felt her move closer, stopping close to me.”I could give you a list of them, but first I want you out of Asher’s life. You don’t belong here.”
Her brazen words surprised me. I pulled my gaze to her, gathering my dress in my hands.”I can see you have finally lost it. You’re obviously delusional. Get lost Elena, I don’t have time to prattle words with you.”
“You think because Asher gave you little of his time and attention, you’ve gained some rights, huh!” She snickered, leaning on the doorframe. “Let’s get some things straight bitch, Asher maybe your husband but he is my lover. I am the only one who warms him up on cold nights and also the only name he moans to. So, do yourself a favor and crawl back from whatever hole you appeared from.” Her lips spread more into a smirk as she folded her hands against her chest.
I watched her as her lips grasped on. The only thing that was lucidly clear to me was she was trying to get under my skin. She wanted to rile me up. To make me enraged. I felt my anger rise to the maximum and if there was anything I would love at the moment was to get my hands on her godforsaken head. It will give me great pleasure to squash it. But I don’t want to give her the satisfaction that she desperately craves. I bottled up my rage and emotions.
I sighed. “I am too busy for whatever this is, so do yourself a favor and get out, before I make you.”
I watched as Elena’s face colored with rage, her gaze burning intensely. She pursed her lips to speak, and I could have been prepared for anything but not the words that left her lips. “Mark my words bitch, I will stop at nothing until I take you out of Asher’s life. He was mine alone until you rammed into our lives, I will make sure you end up like his dead mate” she whispered to me, her brown eyes burning with rage.
“You are just an obsessed tramp. And for the records, Asher told me he broke off whatever thing he had with you, so stake your claim somewhere else,” I said, shoving her out of the doorway and I had the pleasure of seeing her fall on her butt, before I walked out of the chamber, heading to the castle ground. I couldn’t help it, my mind kept on replaying the conversation I had with that psycho, Elena. There was no denying the fact that I never liked her, but there was something in her words to me, and the manner she spoke that sent a deadly chill down my spine. She seemed like someone, one should keep an eye on. I shook my head mentally, trying to clear my head.
I arrived at the castle grounds, and the sight before me was hard to look at. Hades was chopped into tiny bits, and scattered around the castle ground, some servants were packing his body parts into the bin.
My body stiffened when Asher came out of the castle wearing just shorts, as he gave everyone an awesome view of his well-sculpted chest. I tried hard not to get distracted by his bare chest like I always did. It wasn’t that hard considering the way his body was radiating with a murderous rage.
He moved closer to me, so close that I could smell his aftershave balm. His deep amber eyes regarded me for a long second.
“I demand an explanation, Kayla. What happened?” Asher uttered, counting his words, but one could easily note the rage seething through his throat. His gaze lingered intensely on me. There wasn’t any single emotion embedded in them, as he regarded me. I couldn’t help but cringe a little at his stare. It wasn’t out of fear, but something else. Something I couldn’t describe.
“I will explain, Alpha” A loud voice answered before I could respond. I narrowed my eyes, I didn’t need to turn around to know it was that bitch Elena.
“Speak,” Asher growled, and moved away from me.
“I saw your wife, sneaking Hades into the castle in the early hours of the morning. I decided to find out who he was and why he entered your chamber in your absence, that was when I barged into your chamber and caught them in the process of making out.” Her voice was so clear and her words sharp, holding so much rage and irritation.
“What?” The word flew from my lips without much thought, as Elena’s voice echoed in my head, and her words dived through my chest.
I turned and gaped at her, I knew whatever she wanted to say could be far from the truth but going this far was way out of it. Immediately Asher turned to me and I lurched back a bit from the intensity of his gaze. His emotions were like different shades of tornado all over his face. I tried to say something to defend myself but I couldn’t utter a word. His amber eyes held mine intensely, watching me so closely.
“Who is he to you?” his voice was devoid of any emotion as he walked closer to me. I didn’t move, till he was inches apart from my body and we were both gazing into each other’s eyes. I could see a raging war fighting for dominance inside of him.
” Answer me, Kayla. Is he your lover?”
He held my wrist, jerking me closer to him while his other hand sunk into my hair that cascaded down my neck. I could feel his body trembling hard against mine.
I brought my face inches away from his so that his only option was to stare deep into my eyes.
“Do you believe her?” I whispered, as I closed my eyes and leaned against his forehead.
