My Heartless Alpha

Chapter 8

After weighing out my options and gleefully watching Asher huff and sigh at my indecisiveness, I decided to just get into the car. I had no idea what he would do to me if I didn't and the thought of his violence sent chills down my spine.

I followed him around the house and into the cavernous garage that was towards the back of the house as if to not disrupt the historic scenery with an outrageously modern building.

Asher walked over to a black box on one of the bricks, flipped it up and placed his thumb on what I guessed must of been a fingerprint scanner. Immediately after, the mahogany doors flipped upwards, revealing 5 sleek cars, perfectly lined up. Of course.

"Woww..." I was almost speechless, I underestimated him yet again.

Despite my blossoming hatred and anger towards him, I couldn't help but to admire his collections of wealth.
I was certain that forgiveness was too lenient, too kind for a man of such heartlessness and outright violence.

I was too busy scheming a plan of vengeance to notice Asher talking to me.
"We will just take the 4 by 4, much easier in this terrain despite the model being outdated. That reminded me.."
I zoned out as he trailed off about 'needing to buy an updated version' otherwise ' this old thing will probably break down on me'.

The car really wasn't very old.
We were now driving down a small road, mountains, rocks, rivers, cliffs, woods and wildlife surrounding us.
Despite the peaceful atmosphere, silence and tension hung in the air like the unpleasant stench of death.

"Why?" I blurted out as we curved through the steep and sharp turns of the road.
His facial expressions remained the same; everlasting masks of carelessness and hardness.
The only sign that there was a conscience behind his reckless, pugnacious actions was the whitening of his knuckles that gripped the steering wheel in a deadly vice.

"Asher for goodness sake,look at me!" I shouted angrily, pulling down the top of my shirt, showing him the bruises and redness of just a fraction of the skin he abused.

His eyes whisked down to the marks and,momentarily, he was fixed upon them, staring into them with a glossy look on his face. But before I knew it he returned his gaze back to the road.

" Your human. You don't understand,yet, the werewolf way of life and everything about us. You will know soon enough" he spoke after a while.
" I didn't plan on marking you so soon but our pack is facing some threats so I did it for your safety"

A deep, gravelly laugh escaped my throat, " For my safety? You don't care about anybody but yourself. So hurting me, bruising me, that was for my benefit? Why did you say our pack? I just want to go home Asher, I don't want to be with you, I don't want to be here. And your never touching me again." I said accusingly.

All I received was a sadistic laugh which sent shivers running throughout my body.
"What makes you think you have control over that?" He breathed in a low, daring voice, " you see, I have already marked you, all that's left is mating. And as Alpha, I ensure you that won't be long, I need pups soon"

My words caught in my throat as we turned onto an unmarked road, leading further into the wood than we already were. It has only been 10 minutes however it felt like eternity in the car. Civilisation was long gone by now, there weren't even electricity cables. It was like we'd ventured back generations.
