Emily
I felt the raging banging of my heart in my chest, making it hard to breathe, even though it caused chaos in my soul. I tried my hardest to hide it all away.
I creased my brows, setting my hands underneath my chin. “What the hell are you implying now? ” What do you mean, how could he possibly fall in love with someone else?” How is that possible? Her words weren’t making any sense to me.
Asher and I were fated mates, even though I prevented him from marking me but the bond was never severed. I couldn’t forget the way he had always looked at me with so much love and desire like I was the only woman in the entire universe. I had never seen a man look so broken, miserable, and lost in life as Asher after my supposed fake death.
“Yes, Alpha Asher is in love with the woman he recently got married to,” she muttered, causing a frown to cover my face.
“Bloody bastard!” I cursed under my breath. I felt a bubble of rage in my chest at her words, which just couldn’t stop echoing in my ears “Married and in love. How could it be possible?”
The Asher I knew couldn’t even stand the sight of another woman who wasn’t me, why then did he decide to get married? Could it be that he is beginning to get over me? Well, that would never happen. I would never allow it.
“Who the hell is that tramp?” I asked before I could stop myself and walked to the window, gazing at the fading sun in the sky. I was seething and hated the overwhelming wave of jealousy I felt at the thought of him with another woman. Even though I hated Asher with every fiber of my being, I couldn’t deny the mate pull. I just couldn’t help it.
“She is the last daughter of the Wright clan, from the Silvermist Council. Her name is Kayla, Kayla Wright,” she muttered, I was motionless for a second, my veins popped out in rage and I could only nod, masking my true emotions with a smile.
“The Wright clan?” How would I forget about that cursed family even though I have not met any of them in person? How could Asher go lowly in picking a bride from there?
The Asher I knew wouldn’t enter a treaty contract with a weak council like Silvermist let alone picking a bride from there. This could only mean that he was heartbroken and grieving when he took that decision or just maybe he had been dating that tramp even before my fake demise.
“How am I sure that this information is genuine and also from the right source?” I asked, studying the woman’s instant reaction.
“I was able to work for Celia Wright as her nympheutria so I was able to get some information and also witness some incidents.”
“What incidents?” I queried, looking straight into her eyes.
She held my gaze tightly before sighing “I was in the Silvermist council when Kayla arrived without Alpha Asher and I thought he didn’t care about her since he didn’t come for her sister’s nuptials but a few moments later he showed up. I have never seen him act so hysterical and possessive as he was tonight even while he was with you he never acted that way.
The most painful part was when he kissed her passionately in front of everyone in the council. Even a blind could feel the intense passion in their kiss.”
Her words struck me. I was shocked to my bones, this was unbelievable, I leaned into the wall and rubbed my palm against my face. I was filled with rage, even the darkness could feel the intensity of my fury. My brown eyes glowed angirly. I took several breaths in an attempt to quell my raging heart, but it was of no use.
How dare he forget me so quickly. He was supposed to be suffering and dying in his sorrow instead he was out there lusting and fucking another woman.
I wanted Asher to suffer, it was the reason why I had faked my death. He needs to pay for what he did to my parents. I didn’t want him to die an easy death, I wanted him to feel the exact pain and misery I felt when he murdered my parents.
He will grovel on his knees, knowing I destroyed him and everything that he worked so hard for. Just imagining it made me ecstatic.
All these years with him, I had closed off all of my emotions and did what a revengeful woman would do. I pretended to love him and he was foolish and naive to believe and also fell deeply in love with me. And now that woman Kayla thinks she can disrupt my plans. But I won’t let that happen.
I held tightly to the walls, my long nails digging hard into them.
I could feel my plans slowly shattering if I didn’t do something soon. I had done a lot to get where I was and I can’t afford to back out now. I had to stop whatever stupid bond formed between those two. At least, not until my revenge is finally complete.
“Where is he now?” I asked
“He was still in the Silvermist council when I left. They may be on their way back to his castle by now.”
In the meantime, I had to put a stop to whatever was going on between Asher and that tramp. And I knew exactly what to do.
“We don’t have much time left, we need to act fast.” I smiled evilly, brushing my silken brown hair.
Her brows furrowed. “What exactly are you planning now?”
“It’s time to remind him of his dead mate, and also find a way to get rid of that tramp.” I smiled again before moving my gaze to the dark starless cloud.
“I don’t understand what you are saying.”
“I would send a message reminding him of me or maybe just to spice it up a bit, I will appear in the form of a mirage to his brother Robin.”
“I doubt if that will do the trick, Alpha Asher is already far into her. We need to come up with a strong strategy if we really want to achieve our plan.”
I swerved around and glared at her “Well, if this doesn’t work then I have no other option than to show up in front of his castle. Asher wouldn’t be able to resist me with the power of the mate bond. And I will make sure that the only thing he would experience would be pain, starting from the death of that bloody whore,” I snickered evilly, walking outside, and slowly faded into the darkness.
