Alicia brought forward her fist to bang the door continuously, she didn't like what was going on. The light in the room she was in had been out and now she was scared, why did Asher bring her here to leave her all alone, weren't they friends?
"Ash, Asher... Please open the d..." she didn't get to complete her statement because the window broke open shattering the glass, the shards of the glass ended up piercing her neck because she had turned towards the direction when she heard the window being broken. Fear gripped her whole nerves as her eyes watched two black feathers transform into humans, no... they weren't normal humans because they had white hair just like ravn. Just what were they? they couldn't be witches like herself right?
"What do we have here? the lord didn't say we are going after a woman as pretty as this" The first man commented as he sized her body, Alicia was an epitome of beauty and it was hard to not get any attention towards herself.
"Shhh Rocky, let's get the job done, come here kitty kitty" the other one shunned his comrade and began walking towards her in an attempt to catch her but she swiftly dodged making the man collide with the drums that was placed on top of one another.
"You want to behave tough? oh I like tough women!" The first one, rocky yelled at her as he charged towards her, Alicia wasn't fast to escape so the man ended up catching her. She struggled to get free but he was too strong for her, she felt herself being carried by him out of the broken window and now they were running on the roof.
"Asher! Asher! please help me! As..." She shouted on top of her voice as she balanced herself on the roof they were running on, she would fall down sometimes but the sadist man would drag her making the edges of the roof tear her delicate skin.
"Shut up you pest!" The second man said as he covered her mouth with his large hands. He attempted to make her unconscious but before he could touch her any longer, his head was snapped off in an instant.
"What? what did you do to John!, wait till I tell the lord you st..."
"You won't get the chance to report cause you aren't leaving here alive, goodbye and enjoy your next life" Asher said in a mad tone as he flew to grab the man's head, the man pushed Alicia away trying to fight with Asher but he was no match for the lycan and after some minutes of battling, he still ended up getting his head separated from his body.
Asher turned to look at Alicia who looked like she was in shock, her eyes held confusion, fear as she stared back at him but it was quickly replaced by relief as she went closer to him to hug him tightly while tears slipped from her eyes. "it's okay... you are alright now" Said Asher as he caressed her hair, he could sense her fear because of the mark he had given her yesterday and he wasn't happy that someone that belonged to him was feeling this way.
Carrying her swiftly in his arms, he jumped to the ground. When he was walking towards the mansion, he walked passed his father's piercing gaze, he saw that the duke didn't look happy and even Isabel but he cared not about it. What was his concern now was making sure this one in his arms was alright.
"Party's over, everyone go home" Asher said aloud for everyone to hear as he climbed the stairs, he could hear a lot of mummurings behind his back but he cared less.
"I apologize everyone for the turn out of things I hope you had a wonderful time and I'm glad you are here to celebrate with Asher and isabel, may you safely return home" Said Oswald as he dropped the microphone, "Asher! Come down right this instance" He growled.
"Till tomorrow father, goodnight and sweet dreams" Asher said arrogantly as he waved one of his hands in the air, he walked into the room and closed the door shut behind him.
"F...father what's the meaning of this? why is he treating me like I'm an invisible being and why is that woman with him?" Isabel asked her father impatiently as she yanked his arm continuously.
"Don't worry dear everything is going to be alright, it's all in your hands now, you are both married and there's no one who's going to separate you two, understand?" He asked her and Isabel nodded her head in relief, she saw her father and her father in law off. Before she could head towards Asher's room to disturb what he was doing with the girl because it didn't sit well with her that he was her husband and was busy flirting with another woman.
A lady with blue eyes blocked her way, "Happy wedding day, I hope you are happy, kindly give this to Asher" she spoke softly as she handed a wrapped brown box to her.
"And don't try going in there, you wouldn't be able to handle what your eyes sees, once again happy wedding day" The woman said and walked away, the way she spoke made Isabel think that she was being mocked by her. Damn with everyone here! they were all getting on her nerves and what she needed to do now was get rid of that lady that was grabbing Asher's attention!.
Isabel dismissed the word of the woman like it was nothing, she frowned her face as she faced the door to Asher's room and she pushed it open. She could see Asher laying on the bed with the woman, she was in his arms and they were fast asleep. She gritted her teeth in anger as she clenched her fist, she wanted to hit that woman hard to taking her place but fortunately she was able to stop herself because she knew the kind of person Asher was. She walked out of the room annoyed.
Just then Alicia's eyes opened and Asher also opened his eyes with a smirk on his lips, "You act so well" he complimented her as he bent down to kiss her lips. Alicia frowned at him, "Have you forgotten that we're just friends and we shouldn't be doing anything intimate especially when you have a wife" she spoke.
"Then be my woman" Asher replied her making Alicia blink her eyes at him, does he have any idea what he was talking about, was he stupid or what, who would have a woman and also a wife, "You must be out of your mind" She said to him as she tried getting out of his bed.
"I'm not out if my mind, I'm speaking with all sincerity Alicia, be my woman...."
"What of her? she's your wife! no I can't do this, it's considered a sin" She rebuked him but Asher was used to getting what he wants, "Tell me you haven't sinned before and this is your first sin"
"Of course I've committed a sin before because I'm human and we always commit a sin..." "Shhh, I'm not asking for lecture Alicia, I'm not commiting a sin, I didn't love her before or now and I'm just forced into this marriage that I don't want, if you can agree to be my woman I can divorce her without a second thought... so would you consider my request, I can wait for you" He said to her, Alicia eyes went wide.
He wasn't joking at all and as much as she wanted to jump on this man who looked damn attractive she couldn't, don't forget how evil he is. She warned herself, seeing her not giving him any response, he leaned to give her a light peck, "I hope your answer is positive" He said, "Go to sleep now" He finished closing her eyes with his lips as he drew her closer to his body.
