Kayla
I inhaled deeply, stretching my body on the bed. My eyes pulled open, and I turned on the bed. To my disappointment, Asher wasn’t next to me. But regardless, I felt amazing. The best I’d felt in months, it was like an enormous energy was bustling in my veins. And I loved it.
I was up from the bed, I stripped naked and dragged my body over to the bathroom. I still couldn’t believe that Asher had been able to help me during my heat. I bit my lip and ran my hands over my body. I was sore all over but not in a bad way but I didn’t mind being sore like this every day as long as it happened with Asher.
I blushed as I looked at myself in the mirror. There are lots of love bites all over my skin but none of them was the mark I really wanted on my neck. The one mark that would bind us together. Though, there were times when I felt like Asher was close to marking me but each time he pulled away and sucked on a different part of my body in a bid to stop himself.
I sighed as I climbed into the bathtub. I was nervous about how to react when I saw Asher again. What would I say? What do couples say to one another after a passionate night?
I blushed again, I couldn’t remember ever being this happy before. My body started yearning for his touch, and I hurriedly had my shower. I was out in a flash, and I got dressed in a yellow color dress, giving my hair a quick brush. I allowed its natural curls to fall on my face, down to my shoulders. I left my chamber to Asher’s study, but he was not there. In fact, it didn’t seem like he had been in here the whole day.

Emily
My heart was thudding in an unfamiliar rhythm, showing the intensity of my anger. I held my head and felt like punching the wall mirror. I started pacing the floors. I couldn’t control my anger knowing that he was with that tramp and filling up her desire.
How could he be in there having sex with her when I was in the same house with him?
How could he?
It was obvious that Asher was slipping away from my hands and I needed to act fast. I needed to do something to ensure that whore left here today.
A wicked smile found my lips as an idea popped into my thoughts. I stormed out of my chamber and headed in the direction of Asher’s chamber. To my surprise, he was alone leaning against the pillar in front of his chamber. Immediately, he sensed my presence and slowly turned to face me.
There was no single remorse on his face for what he did with that tramp and I tried to hide my hatred for him, I can’t afford to make silly mistakes right now.
“What have I done wrong to deserve this kind of treatment from you?” I asked. My voice sounded so broken like I had been crying the entire night.
“I have been through so much because of you Asher. I almost died by your claws. Your enemies kidnapped and held me, hostage, for four fucking freaking years. I was tortured because of you. And the moment I was able to escape, I couldn’t think of any other person but you. My only thoughts were to be back in the hands of the man I loved dearly with the whole fiber of being. But I couldn’t say the same about you.” I yelled.
“You’re in there with that woman making out passionately with her without giving a fuck about my feelings. You pleased her all night knowing damn well that it would tear me into pieces. Is this my reward for loving you all these years? Is this my reward for all the sacrifices I have made for you all these years?
I tried to quell the elation bubbling in my heart at the way his eyes softened. There was guilt and sadness in his gaze. It made my heart flutter with bliss. I decided to use his emotions to my advantage.
I wondered how that tramp would feel when she found out that Asher was regretting whatever thing he did with her.
All I needed was to add more flames to his emotions and let them feed on his pain and regret.
“I can’t keep up with this whole drama. You can’t keep hurting and smashing my heart. It truly hurts Asher. I am sorry but I have decided to just–” He shook his head, came close to me, and cupped my face, and I struggled to speak as tears streamed down my cheeks.
“I just wish everything would go back the way it was between us before that tragedy. Even though it hurts me, knowing you have another woman beside you. I just want you to remember that you are all that I live for Asher Pendragon. I don’t want to be a nuisance, so if you want me to leave and stay out of your life forever then you can go ahead and say it”
“No, Emily, you can’t leave. Not today and not ever.” Asher said immediately as I turned to walk away.
I hid my smile when I saw Kayla standing on the stairs, and leaning on the wall for support. Her eyes were on us. I could see nothing but misery, gloom, and grief in those oceanic blue depths of hers.
This was working a lot better than I expected. I knew that this was enough to push her over the edge to make a drastic move.
With the intensity of the pain, I saw in her eyes, I did bet my life that she would definitely leave and never come back. A dark smile found my lips again, knowing that I was just a few more steps ahead of accomplishing my plans.
