Chapter 34


    CHAPTER 34.


    “Alright someone needs to exin to me why we’re all freaking out about your brother being with


    Gabby! From what everyone in this pack has experienced by themselves he was a sweet, normal


    guy who just wanted to live like a human. Which I admit is weird but it was his choice and that’s why


    he left the pack, right?” Everyone fell silent.


    “Go on, Alpha, tell her how everything your pack members know is lie, tell them about who he


    actually was-” Edmund narrowed his eyes at m


    me.


    “Tell her about how he didn’t choose to leave the pack, but rather how his father banished him from


    the grounds and forced his son away t


    to live with the humans. Tell her about how he tried to kill his own father to take over as Alpha!”


    “What?” Ca*sy gasped and everyones’ heads fell.


    Cat’s out of the bag, might as well justy all the cards on the table now,


    Just a few years toote


    I could really use your support, d*mba*s


    “Name calling, that’s a good way to get my support’


    so eager to


    It started when Asher was eleven, he started taking pride in his future as the Alpha and we were


    thrilled that he was so learn about being a leader. As the year went on, just before his twelfth


    birthday, he started acting…strangely,” My father said.


    “He didn’t speak about the role as Alpha in the manner we had tried to instill in him. He saw me


    interacting with our people as their friend and protector. I tried setting an example by taking him with


    me once on training with the warriors. Once training was over, Asher said how he would’ve done


    things differently and Iughed. asked him what he would’ve done and he said that he would ve


    wiped their smiles off, made them train harder, and teach them the moves that kill the fastest. When


    we were speaking to the people and walking in town and he said that he didn’t understand why we


    did it, that we were the leaders and should be seen as such. That talking to us should be a


    privilege,” His eyes cast down and he shook his head while remembering the morbid memories of


    his other son. My mom ced a hand on his shoulder and stroked it calmly.


    “Asher was a sweet kid, he was innocent and lively, he wanted to y and explore but as he grew


    older, everything changed. After he turned twelve the horrific deeds in his head started imnting


    themselves in his actions. He picked fights, he chose friends and said that they were superior to the


    others. He said that the one he chooses as his Beta will be as untouchable as him and they will be


    above everyone else. To the other kids he would have them walk further away, not look him the


    eyes unless he gave his permission. He pointed. to girls and they woulde running in his


    teenage years and when he was done with them he would toss them away like they were nothing


    but objects for his amusement. We tried, we tried talking to him and teaching him and correcting his


    behavior but nothing got through to him. Aiden is two years younger and when he was sixteen,


    getting into fights, Asher would protect him but what Alden doesn’t remember is that when he was a


    child, Asher tried to kill him. He was fearful of Aiden one day challenging him or us giving Aiden the


    title instead. As they grew older, they grew closer but Asher grew worse in his mind, he was


    dangerous and after he one night sat down to dinner with his father…” She squeezed his shoulder


    and drew in a sharp breath.


    “…He took a drink from his ss and fell to the floor. Asher waited for ten minutes, watching his


    father gasp for a breath at his feet before he called on the guards. I was away with Aiden but I felt it,


    I felt not only him dying but also his heart breaking into pieces. The witch saved him, barely, and


    after that, we knew he had to go. We couldn’t have him stay here anymore. Not only was he a


    danger to us but he was a danger to the whole pack. We couldn’t make him Alpha,”


    The silence was deafening. Cas*y was narrowing her eyes on everyone in disbelief, stumbling to


    find the words but she tried. The heaviness of hearing everything weighed down on everyone, me


    included. I had never heard about Asher trying to kill me, that was new and it wasn’t a weed


    surprise. Mostly because the *astard was capable of killing his brother and father and Gabby was in


    his hands right now.


    “And that psycho is with our sister.” Nick growled.


    Ca*sy flew up Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    from her seat, heaving in a breath and nodding her had.

    “We have to find her, get to her before he does anything. He has the perfect bargaining chip for


    getting what he’s always wanted. Your position in this pack,” she said and looked at me.

    If anything happened, if as much as a strand of her hair was out of ce, I’d kill him and then I’d kill


    Sam for ever making their paths


    “Don’t forget the me on yourself”


    I’ll think


    about that when I know she’s safely at home


    “Edmund, Nick, and Noah. Tell me where the fi

    the f*ck your sister is.” I growled.


    I had fallen asleep on the couch and when I woke up the sun was shining in through the windows.


    I yawned and looked around, rubbing my eyes and trying to clear the fog in my head.


    “You passed out hard,” Easton said from the kitchen. He came out with two cups of coffee looking


    newly awake himself.


    “Did I sleep through the movie?” I couldn’t even remember what it was about. Everything was just a


    big fog in my head.

    “No, just the ending but you were drozy through most of it. Maybe it was the wine,” he said and


    smirked,


    mine captive, our legs were touching and an electric surge went up my body.


    His chiseled jaw clicked and his brows furrowed, he looked deep in thought and I would soon hear


    why.


    “Let’s go


    -Where?”


    tonight,”


    “The nightclub here in town. We’ll drink, dance and afterward we’ll go for burgers,”


    Iughed and nodded my head.


    His


    “That sounds good,” a second thought hit me and I jumped a little to the left to put some space


    between us.


    “I’m sorry, was I sitting too close?” He asked and moved back.


    “No, no!”


    “It’s in


    just, we’ve spent a lot of time together and I don’t know, there’s something about that just feels a


    little familiar but I can’t put my finger on it,” Something shed in his eyes for a second before it was


    gone.


    He smiled and moved closer. He ced his hand on my knee, slowly rubbing his thumb in circles.


    When he looked up I could see the darkness in his eyes.


    “I don’t know what it is that feels familiar for you but maybe it’s something we have inmon. I


    haven’t had an easy life, Gabby, my parents were not good people. My father he beat me and my


    mom knew and turned the other cheek. My brother would alwayse first in their eyes, he was


    allowed to do everything and I was just supposed to exist.” My eyes fell and I jumped closer. I


    ced my hand on his chest and felt his subtle heartbeat.


    “I’m so sorry. You told me they were loving?” I said.


    “That’s what I tell everyone. Mostly to keep them from looking at me with that sadness in their eyes.


    Something tells me you haven’t

    had it easy either,” He said and leaned in.


    “We don’t need to talk about it but at least now we know the connection,” He said huskily and


    pressed a kiss to my cheek. I closed my eyes and leaned into it.


    His hand came up and cupped my face. My breathing got heavier and a warmth spread down my


    body and between my legs. I felt the wetness and throbbing need grow and pressed myself closer


    to him.


    “Gabrie,” he whispered against my ear and pressed harder onto me.


    My head was locked between his hand and his face and his hot breath fanned my neck as he


    moved down. His lips pressed against my neck. I tossed my head back and released a moan. His


    other hand roamed up my leg and he pulled the hem of my pants. His fingers slipped down and I


    grew hotter, pressed onto him harder and his fingers tangled in my hair.


    “Easton,” I moaned and ced my hand on his thigh.


    He dragged his lips across my neck and up my jaw as he brushed them against my own.


    Say it again.” I opened my eyes and saw the lust that was growing in his.


    I cupped his face with my hands and leaned in.


    “Easton,” I moaned and pressed down my lips on his in a deep kiss that sent shivers down my back.


    The doorbell rang. First once, we didn’t care, we barely heard it. Two times and I stopped but


    Easton pulled my head back and mmed his lips down on mine. The third time, he groaned and


    clenched his jaw as I pushed away and got up to check it..


    “No wait, I’ll check it,” He said.


    He looked through the keyhole and unlocked the door.


    “No thi


    thanks, I heard him say and then he closed the door


    “Who was it?”


    “Two girls selling cookies,” he said and dragged a hand through his hair. I got up on my feet and he


    grabbed my shirt, pulling me to him and the heat was back in the blink of an eye.


    “*uck you


    taste good.” His fingers slipped under my shirt, I felt them gracing my skin and they rounded my


    waist. I froze, pulled his hand out and pushed away from him.


    “What’s wrong?”


    “Nothing, I just think we should slow down.” I said. He stepped closer, his hand grabbed mine and


    he pulled it away, locking it behind my back.


    “That’s funny, cause I was thinking the opposite.” I gulped, my whole body was as stale as a tree as


    his thumb dragged over my lip. He leaned down and sucked in my bottom lip, my hand was


    detained behind my back and he pressed into me.
