His Mate Her Husband

chapter 8

Asher

I was in the middle of the conversation with Max about the unknown attacks that had been happening for the past few years after some said that he saw that hybrid, and yet we are still unable to tackle the cause, when the shooting pain in my chest hit me.

" Sh*t," I cursed as I felt on the ground clutching my chest.

" What? What's happening?" Max said loudly, crouching down at my level to examine me.

The intensity of the pain was so great that I couldn't speak. I closed my eyes to breathe properly when the pain stopped just like that.

" Are you alright?" Max asked, studying my face with curiosity.

" I am now," I said, getting up from the ground.

" Dude, you don't look like you are all right," he said.

I walked around the table and sat down on my chair. I felt tightness in my chest as if someone was ripping my heart out.

" I don't know," I replied.

He took the seat in front of me and looked at me strangely.

Blake started pacing in my mind making me dizzy. He was clawing to get out of here.

" Let me out, Asher," he snarled angrily.

" No," I said in a warning tone.

" Let me out," he growled loudly in my head.

" No," I said with a growl.

" What?" Max asked me as he stood up from his chair. But I can tell he is afraid to come near me by looking at my face. Blake was trying really hard to come out and we were fighting for control.

" Blake," Max breathed out, earning a thunderous growl from him.

" Alpha, calm down. We can handle it whatever it is," he said, trying to calm him down. If I let him come out at this moment he will not think twice before committing anything.

After a few moments I felt his anger turn into sorrow and sadness. His energy vanished and he retreated in the back of my mind.

" We will talk tomorrow, Max," I said.

" Will you be alright?" He asked.

" Yes."

" Are you sure? After what happened just now," he said.

" You know what had happened when you let him out after….. he tried not wanting to mention that incident. I sighed and shook my head.

" I am alright. Nothing will happen," I said. He nodded his head at me before turning on his heel and leaving me alone.

" Blake?" I called my wolf and waited for a few moments to get any response, but he didn't say a word.

" What happened? Why did you behave like that? Talk to me," I urged him to let down his guard so I could talk to him.

" I am not sure," he replied.

" About what?"

" I felt….. he paused, and then continued, mate," he said, making my nerves go insane. I don't know what he is saying is true or not but I have searched for her for a long time now but didn't find her. I have been to every country, town, village in the world possibly but still nothing.

" but….. I trailed off, not knowing what to say or what to believe.

Then the itch under my skin came back, making me pull out my hair. I stood up and slammed my hand on the table, making it crack.

" What is happening….. argh….," A painful groan left my lips.

I frantically looked for an exit and found the window of my office. I ran towards the window, ripping my clothes on the way. I didn't have the time to open it, I broke the glass and jumped down on the damp ground, shifting in my wolf form. A scream left my mouth as I felt pain.

" Mate," Blake growled.

I desperately ran in the forest. My skin was getting hotter and hotter by every passing second. I felt like l should have been somewhere else right now other than this forest. The moon was shining brightly above my head piercing through the darkness of the night. In my 35 years of life I have never experienced such pain that I want to claw my own skin.

My head started to spin and when I couldn't take it anymore I slumped on the ground with a thud, before I passed out an image of someone kissing that bus*ard flashed in front of my eyes and everything became dark.

Bella

The soft rays of the morning sun danced on my face, making me smile. I slowly opened my eyes feeling good after a long time. The memories of the previous night invaded my mind and I felt sweet.

When I stirred to get up finally, I was pulled back by my waist. I looked down to see Adam was holding me by my waist, his hand snakes around my waist and an inch lower for touching my breast.

Sinister dirty imagination filled up my mind. What if he touched them and gave them a little squeeze. Just a thought of his hand on my br*ast making me clench my thighs. I bit down on my lower lips to prevent a moan that would escape from my mouth when he started to draw lines below my globes.

" Good morning, beautiful," he said, making me blush at his compliment.

" Morning, handsome," I said, turning around to face him.

He was already staring at me with adoration and love.

" This is so nice," he said.

" What?"

" To wake up beside you everyday," he said, smiling at me while his hand reached up to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. I felt weird hearing his words.

" We should get going," I said, reminding him of our little trip. His face fell as soon as I said that.

" Yeah," he said, trying to smile at me again but failed miserably. He took my hand before placing a gentle kiss on the back of my hand. He sat on the bed and got out.

" You can take a shower here and get dressed. Someone will send your dress," he said, and with that he turned on his heel before storming out of the bedroom.

I sat up on the bed feeling empty all of a sudden when he left me in the room alone. I couldn't figure out why his attitude suddenly became so cold and distant.

I got out of the bed and went straight to the bathroom. As soon as I finished my business, I stepped under the shower.

I felt relaxed when the hot water descended on my skin, letting me forget everything. When I was done washing everything, I stepped out of the shower and found a towel inside the cabinet beside the sink.

I quickly dried myself and got out of the bathroom only to see a few pairs of new clothes neatly folded and placed on the bed. Walking to the bed I looked around to see if anyone was inside the room. There was no one there meaning they left whoever brought the clothes.

There were multiple choices but since we are going by car, I picked up a pair of pants and a light yellow tight fitted top. I wore the dress and let my wet hair fall on my back to dry on its own. I walked to the tall mirror to see If I was looking alright to face his family.

" Not bad at all," I mumbled to myself. The door of the room opened without a knock and Adam stood in the doorway looking fresh in a black shirt and grey pants. He stared at me in the mirror and smirked, looking at him I felt nervous. How did he know that I was ready? What if he came in while I was changing? I thought to myself.

" Looking beautiful," he said, with the same adorable smile. I smiled back, turning around.

" Everyone is waiting for us for breakfast," he said and extended his hand for me to take. I walked towards him and took his hand.

We walked hand in hand like a couple through the hall to the stairs, descending from the stairs my heart started to pound in my chest like something is going to happen.

" Are you okay?" He asked.

" Yeah. Why?"

He brought our intertwined hands up and I didn't realise that I was squeezing his hand all this time.

" Sorry," I said.

When we reached the breakfast table everyone stopped talking and looked at me. I suddenly felt self conscious.

" Come," his mother said, getting up from the chair and coming to me. She led me to an empty chair and made me sit on it before she took her seat.

" Did you sleep well?" His father asked.

" Yes."

" That's good," his mother says happily. I looked at Adam who sat down beside me.

" After you return from the trip we are going to spend lots of time together. I can't wait to go shopping with you," his mother said.

" Sure," I said.

" Come on, let's eat or you will be late," his mother said again, looking at Adam. When her eyes met mine she smiled at me before saying,

" We are going to miss you, Bella."

Matthew stood up from the table abruptly and left us. I looked at Adam to know what happened but he smiled at me and served me a sandwich like it's not a big deal.
