six

I woke up to a soft voice calling me, "beautiful, wake up." I yawned and stretched out on the hard surface. wait for a second, where am I? my eyes shot open and I sat up looking at my surroundings. the first thing a saw was large hands around my waist then I looked up and saw asher.

my body relaxed and my wolf purred in content. "good morning.." he whispered with a slight smile on his face. I sat up and looked down to see he had me laid down on his lap.

"and just what the hell do you think you're doing?" when I tried to get out of his grasp he growled at me and set my hands down without saying a word.

"let me go, asher! I'm serious!" I shouted and began hitting his chest violently. all my anger from yesterday began to strike down on me. in one swift movement he had me pinned down on the bed. my heart was pounding like crazy while staring into a dark black eye.

he ducked his head into my neck and taking a deep breath, groaning when he exhaled. "don't fight me, madison." he said before placing harsh kisses on my neck. I moaned and wrapped my arms around his neck.

I felt his canines scrape against my neck and I bit my lip. was he gonna mark me? right now?

"a-asher.."

he shushed me and continued to kiss and suck on my neck. small whimpers were leaving my lips continually. I ran my hands through his soft hair until I felt him stop. I sighed in frustration before I felt his teeth graze against my skin once more.

this is it. he is gonna mark me. just as he was going to sink his teeth in my neck to claim me as his there was a knock on the door and then it opened.

"asher i-" the person began before he stopped. asher growled and crawled off of me. I was confused as to why he had referred to him as asher instead of alpha.

"what the hell do you want Chris?" asher spoke up with irritation clearly in his voice. I could barely move, still in the aftermath of what just happened. my neck still had tingles from where he kissed.

I slowly lifted my head to see who was talking. I furrowed my eyebrows when I saw the boy. he looked familiar. he stared at asher, not daring to look at me, afraid of what asher might do.

"I just want to say I'm sorry for what happened this morning. I never meant for madison to hear that.." he mumbled with a frown on his face.

as he talked it finally clicked. he was the boy that ran into me at the gas station.

"it's fine," asher muttered, "before you come in knock AND wait till I say you can come in."

the boy laughed and leaned against the door, "I'm your brother, if I want to barge into your room I can do it." and with that said he left and closed the door on the way out. asher ran his hands through his hair and sighed.

"where's your bathroom?" I whispered. he ran a hand through his hair and said, "down the hall to the left."

I nodded quickly before hopping off the bed and speed walking into the bathroom. when I clicked on the lights the bathroom was huge. it had a sink that was as long as half the room, a huge mirror, and a shower big enough to fit two people!

my face grew red at the thought of taking a nice warm shower with my mate. I wonder how big he is.. or how his abs look. I love abs with all my heart! I stared into the mirror at myself. I was a bit muddy from all the running this morning and my hair was all over the place. I guess this is an excuse to take a shower, right?

I rid myself of my clothes and hopped in the shower. if my old house had a shower like this I'd never think about leaving.

as I was scrubbing my body down with soap my mind trailed to my parents. they'll never get to see their grandchildren or come to my wedding. or even meet my mate. but if they were here my dad would probably say something cringey like 'if he hurts you I'll deal with him the old-fashioned way!' and my mom would roll her eyes and reply, 'oh be quiet.'

I missed her. I missed my parents and little brother. it was no fair that joseph and I had to lose them at such young ages.

I sighed and rinsed the soap off my body. the good thing about showers is that if anyone were to accompany you, they wouldn't know if you were crying or not.

after finishing up in the shower I wrapped a towel around my body and hair. "god, what am I gonna wear?" I whispered to myself while looking at my muddy dress.

I should've asked someone for clothes before jumping into the shower. asher wouldn't mind if I borrowed a shirt from him right? I cleared my throat and gathered some courage before making a run into the room.

I scanned around a little and he wasn't there. I sighed in relief and stepped into his walk-in closet. it was full of his scent and shirts. I think I might just live here for the rest of my life. I giggled to myself before grabbing one of his large shirts.

I couldn't help but look around to see what type of clothes the big bad alpha wore. non-surprisingly it was mostly black and white t-shirts. I slowly stalked toward the shirt of his that has the strongest scent and stuffed my face in it like a crazy person.

I moaned at the scent and backed away. I need to get out of here before he comes back. I held his one shirt close to me and walked out of the closet after shutting off the lights.

when I turned around asher was there standing there in front of me. I inhaled and let out a shaky breath. his eyes darkened and he grabbed my arm roughly

"Why the hell are you naked?" he sternly said while staring down at my chest. I scoffed and snapped my fingers by his face. "my eyes are up here buddy. and I'm not naked I have a towel. I just came in here to get a shirt since my dress is dirty."

his grip tightened and he pulled me so close to him that I could feel every part of him on me. "are you telling me I can't look at what's mine, madison?"

I cleared my throat and lifted my chin, "my body is not yours, asher, I am my own woman."

he chuckled at me and his eyes surprisingly got darker.

"wanna bet?"
