Chapter 269
CASSANDRA
I stopped struggling and widened my eyes as my heart stopped in my
chest.
Asher’s voice sounded coarse and more tense than I'd ever heard it, but I knew
at once that it was him.
It was almost impossible to believe, but it was true.
Asher was here in Yurene.
My mate was here in this cold, terrible country.
He turned around to face me, and though we couldn't see each other in this
darkness, the scent, the warmth of his body... everything was so familiar it
couldn’t be ignored.
After a moment of silence, I felt Asher’s finger brush across my cheeks. I hadn't
realized I was crying until I felt the wetness of my tears against my skin.
When he pulled me into a tight hug, he whispered in my ear.
and kissed my neck “I've missed you so much, Cassandra,” he said, and then he
pulled away and then my lips. Then he reached for my hand and began to kiss
each of my fingers devoutly.
“I couldn’t bear not seeing you,” he whispered in between kisses. “I've missed
you so much.”
As his lips danced against my skin, I managed to stop the steady stream of tears
and calm down. I wanted to let him kiss me forever, but I remembered that we
were in the middle of the stairs and couldn't afford to get caught.
“It isn’t safe here,” I said as my eyes darted around. “The maids could appear at
any time. We need to find somewhere to go-"
“I have a room on the fourth floor,” he interrupted, and without another word, he
grabbed my hand and led the way.
We walked in darkness, our hands clenched together tightly. I remember when
we were young, we had always been like this. We would take each other's hands
and walk together when we were deep in the forest and felt afraid. We were each
other’s solace, and tonight
was no exception.
He led me to the end of the corridor and then rooted around and retrieved a key.
He unlocked the door, and much to my surprise, the room was nearly pitch—
black.
When we entered and he locked the door behind us, he explained that he had
turned off the light before he'd left to wander the corridors, pretending to be
asleep so no one could disturb him.
Before I could say anything more,, Asher cornered me against the door and
began to kiss me. My heart pounded as surprise overtook me. I hadn't expected
this by any means, but I wasn’t protesting at all. As his body pressed against
mine with carnal need, his warm, masculine scent filled my nose,
and my body erupted into shivers.
Our kisses went from sweet to utterly passionate, and as his hands wrapped
around me, I couldn't help but whimper and moan. My entire body ached and
yearned for him. I needed Asher as much as I needed oxygen, and I vowed to
show him just how much I desired him.
While the darkness made my eyes ache a little as they strained to make sense of
our surroundings, it made my other senses clearer. As his hands traveled down
my sides and then rested on my hips, I began to tremble. His large hands
grasped onto me firmly, and after a moment, his fingers darted underneath my
blouse and then eased it up over my head. It dropped to the floor, leaving me
standing there in just my bra.
The rest of my clothes soon followed, and I shivered in anticipation as he
undressed me. He took his time and care, and with every garment removed, my
heart raced faster and faster. His fingertips danced over every inch of my skin,
and when his hands raised to cup my breasts, a moan of delight escaped me.
“Oh, Asher,” I breathed, and when he gently squeezed, I gasped. I hadn't been
touched this way in so long. It was all I'd dreamed of since our last encounter
together, only this moment felt even more intense than it had in my dreams.
Asher had always been a generous lover and tonight was no exception.
His clothes fell away soon after, and once they were gone, Asher led me to the
bed and we coupled the way we had when we were young. Our lovemaking was
tender and passionate, and once we had reached the height of our pleasure, we
took a moment to catch our breath, and then cuddled up against each other.

a little, but after we started to talk, Asher leaned over and turned on the bedside
The light was so dim that only our faces were illuminated, and when I finally got
to see the familiar beauty of his gray eyes, my lips curled into a smile. I traced his
jaw with my fingers.
“Asher,” I sighed. “Oh, Asher, how did you even get here in the first place?”
He smiled at me and then kissed my knuckles. “I used a disguise, my love. I was
only able to be here because I used someone else’s name. Most people here
have never seen me before, so all I had to do was don some dark clothes, and a
cape... they could tell I was Southern from my accent, but other than that, I
wasn't detected.”
“Whose name did you use?” I wondered.
“T
got help from the Sky Pride Pack,” he explained. “I used the name of their hand
of the Alpha.”
“How did you manage to do that?” I wondered as I tried to understand. “I've been
so worried, Asher. When I heard you were missing and that Oliver Moses took
control of Wegalla in your absence... I've been so frightened.”

My eyes dropped from his as a sigh escaped me. “It's complicated. I don’t even

“Try,” he urged me.

I took a moment to gather myself
and then told him about what Kaleb

Asher listened in silence as I spoke,

I stopped speaking and drew the blanket up higher so we couldn't be too
distracted.
“Asher, is something wrong?” I wondered. “You seem a million miles away.”
He stared at me for a moment and then placed another kiss on my lips. He didn’t
answer my question and asked one of his own instead.
“Is there anything else you want to tell me?” he asked quietly.
