Chapter 18- Amara

Caleb and Carter shifted into their wolves and I hoped on Carter's back. They dashed through the

woods towards the shifter houses and came to a stop at the edge of the forest. I climbed off of

Carter's back and they went behind a tree to shift back.

“Please stay here. I want to go in his house alone.” I said to them when they came back from behind

the tree.

They nodded reluctantly and made themselves comfortable near the forest edge as I started my

walk towards my personal hell. I knocked on the door of Asher’s house and waited there anxiously

for it to open. A few seconds later the door opened and an older version of Asher looked at me in

shock.

"Amara." Arthur said looking at me with wide eyes.

“Is Asher home? I want to talk to him.” I said with a straight face.

"Yeah... I mean no... come inside.” He spluttered.

"Who is it dear?” Christine asked coming out of the kitchen and froze seeing me.

I kept my face blank and made my way towards Asher’s room.

“Wait.” Arthur called out but I ignored him and opened his door to find the shock of my life.

On the bed were Asher and girl with brunette hair laying naked, their legs tangled with each other.

They were sleeping peacefully. The room on the other hand was littered with their clothes. He

spooned her the same way he used to spoon me. I felt a sharp pain in my chest making me bite my

lip to stop myself from making any sounds of pain. I got to be strong. I can't let papa die because of

me. I shook my head to clear it.

“Asher.” I called out to him but my voice shook.

He didn't move though. I cleared my throat and called him one more time but loudly. That woke

him up. He looked at me and his eyes widened. I saw guilt in his eyes for a quick second but it

quickly switched to anger.

“We need to talk.” I said to him, turned around and made myself comfortable on the sofa.

He came out wearing a sweat pant and closed the door behind him. He sat opposite from me and

so did his parents.

"Why?" I asked swallowing the pain it was causing me.

"Well you didn't expect me to wait around for you till you got back.” He said scoffing.

I nodded.

“So you didn't care if it would have killed me?” I asked with a straight face.

I can feel my emotions slowly draining out of me. Is this the same guy who used to love me?

“Those things are just myths. You can't actually die from me leaving you.” He said amused. “I mean

you are still here sitting in front of me. Besides I have been going out with her since months and

you didn't feel a thing.”

“Then why do you think I am looking like this?” I asked.

"How am I supposed to know that?” he said a little uncomfortable.

His parents looked down avoiding my eyes.

“Well it was nice knowing you Asher.” I said giving him the best smile I can muster and got up to

leave.

"What do you mean by that?” Asher asked confused.

“I mean that I won't be seeing you again as you clearly don't want me as your mate and obviously

you don't care if I die so there's no point talking to you. So this is a goodbye.” I said showing no

emotions on my face but on the inside it felt like my insides were melting.

"Why did you come here anyways? You wouldn't have found out if you wouldn't show up out of

nowhere.” He grumbled.

“Me being here or not doesn’t matter Asher. I felt you cheating on me. I almost died because of it.

Twice.” I shouted at him. He stood there stunned. “But clearly you don't care if I live or die so there

is no point telling you this. I hope you find someone you deserve and who is good enough for you

that you won't wish death upon her. Good bye Asher and don't worry I won't tell anyone about

what you did to me but I will have to tell Leo and that's it. Good luck with your life. I hope I never

have to see you again.”

I turned around and opened the door to exit his house but he pulled me back quite roughly.

“What the hell do you want?” I snapped.

"What do you mean by you died?” he hissed.

“Does it matter? It's not going to change anything. Besides I am not any of your concern anymore.” I

said pulling my arm out of his grip.

“Tell me.” he said gritting his teeth. “Or you won't be leaving this house.”

“What? Your sleeping around didn't kill me so you want to kill me with your own hands?" I hissed. “I

might be weak at the moment Asher but I am not defenceless.”

“I am not going to kill you.” He said in disbelief. I scoffed. “Well you didn’t die so why are you

overreacting so much. If this doesn’t work out we can always get back together.”

A growl left my mouth. Wait...growl? I will figure that out later.

"Are you even listening to yourself? I am not getting back with you even if the hell freezes over. Stay

the fuck away from me. I will never forgive you for what you did to us. You can go fuck yourself for

all I care.” I shouted at him. “I don't want to cause any problems in the pack so I would advise you to

mind your own business and leave me alone. We are never going to happen.”

"How dare you talk to me like that? You are mine. My mate. I own you.” He growled. “I am the third

in command and you will respect me.”

I can feel his authority seeping out of him. The nerve of this guy. It didn't faze me though.

“Respect is not asked for but earned.” I hissed at him. “I am no mate of yours anymore and it's

Alpha to you.”

I can feel Papa's power seep through me making him and his parents bow their heads and whimper.

I turned around and left the house, closing the door behind me. I took a deep breath, trying to

control my tears. Caleb and Carter came running towards me and engulfed me in a hug and that

came to be my undoing. I sobbed in their arms as they guided me towards Leo's house.
