Beth opened her eyes slowly and g*****d. A sudden migraine starting to hit her. She tried to make use of her hands but she was unable to move them. She opened her eyes fully and noticed she was now in a much darker room.

She tried to wriggled her hands again but it seemed something was holding it back, prompting her to glance back at the new set of chains holding her to two pillars.

“Damn that monster” She snarled under her breath in utter realization. It was none other than Bradley’s doing.

She was about to yell for him when she noticed she was not the only one in the room as she could hear pain whimper coming from the corner.

“Is anyone here?” Beth asked but as usual, her echo replied to her instead but it didn’t stop her as she was certain she wasn’t alone.

From the cracked walls, she could see another being had also been chained beside her and from all indication, it was a male being.

His head was hanging low and she was unable to get a glimpse of his face but something tells her he too was in danger as he looked unconscious.

“Hey Mr! Are you okay?” Beth asked but got no reply.

“Who is he anyways and why are we both chained here?” Beth asked, looking at him closely. If only she could get a proper look at his features other than his shadows.

She let out a gasp when she noticed there was fluid running down at the back of his head, further confirming her earlier suspicion that he was probably hurt or in danger.

“Oh my God, what has that monster done to him. He is going to make him bleed to death?”

“Hey! Please wake up so we can find a way to get out of here.” Beth whispered but got no reply again.

Suddenly, the man beside her tilted his head up a little as he was regaining consciousness.

“He is awake! Hey!” Beth called out.

He was finding it hard to open his eyes and he raised up his head slowly. Beth got a better view of his face and gasped when she recognized who he was.

“Oh my God! Asher!” Beth let out a shriek as she beheld his face even more clearly.

Asher on the other hand realizing his current condition had tried to break free from the silver chains holding him but couldn’t as he burned through his flesh.

“Please stop, You are hurting yourself more”

“Elizabeth! Are you okay?” Asher asked, facing her though his hands hurt as he tried turning to face her.

“Yes, I’m okay but how come you are also here?” Beth asked.

“That bastard tricked me and chained us, I won’t let him come out alive once I lay my hands on him.” Asher said angrily and Beth looked at him surprisingly.

“Don’t worry,, I promise to get you out of here”

Beth looked skeptical given their situation. , “ How do we get out of here?” Beth asked cluelessly and Asher sighed.

“You should worry less, as far as I am here with you, I will take control of everything and deal with that bastard.” Asher said as he gritted his teeth angrily wishing he had the chance to tear Bradley into pieces.

“How is Sam? Hope he is okay?” Beth asked worriedly, just thinking about her son.

“Yes he is, Izzy was with him before I left the Pack. I am sure she and Alex would be with him and protect him so stop worrying. Let’s think of a possible escape for us,” Asher said and she nodded.

“Why can’t we just transform?” Beth asked.

“Of course you can’t? You didn’t check the type of chains that were being used on you both?” A voice replied Beth and the latter almost freaked out.

Asher already recognized the voice to be that of Bradley Lincoln’s as he didn’t flinched.

“Seems your boyfriend didn’t tell you werewolves can’t shift to their wolf form when restricted with silver” Bradley asked and Asher glared at him angrily.

“Why are you doing this! Why are you bent on destroying everything in your path? Just f*****g tell me why?” Beth yelled as tears spilled from her eyes.

Her tears seemed to affect Asher as he couldn’t help but growl at Bradley.

“It’s simple, you and your kind crossed the line when you let your cursed and abominable self walk the earth and among humans”

“The only way I knew to get rid of your kind was to target your leaders just like they killed human”

“So why did you kill my wife if your target were only Alphas?” Asher yelled angrily.

He gave a careless shrug, “I killed Macy by mistake, I never meant to kill her but I am not even regretting it. Maybe it was her death day, her time was up.” Bradley said with a hint of smile.

“You lying piece of sh*t. Why don’t you admit the real reason you killed her was because you are not man enough to face me like a real man would, instead you cowardly had her ambush and murdered in cold b***d” Asher spat.

“I admit killing her wasn’t as much fun as I had expected. She cried and begged like a baby to be spared but you know how it ended”

If Asher was livid before, now he was beyond furious as he kept trying to break through the restrictions causing his the skin of his flesh to break and crack even the more.

“Asher please. You have to stop struggling. You are hurting yourself” Beth pleaded but Asher was not having any of it and Bradley on the other hand seem more than pleased. In fact he seem to be having the time of his life as he walked even closer and pulled the Alpha by his hair, forcing him to look up at him.

“Do you even know why you have always being the target?”

“F**k you and whatever reasons you might have”

Bradley let out a chuckle before his eyes turned serious again.

“Well, for all that’s worth, I’m going to tell you a story either way whether you are going to appreciate it or not” He said before letting go of his chin.

**

“It all started when a member of your pack lured my sweet wife and got her pregnant right under my nose. She thought by giving me a daughter that wasn’t mine, I would never find out but”

His word sounded vain but Elizabeth knew it has meaning to it. In fact, she was meaning to ask about her real father given her new found ability and it seems Alex was right after all to think she wasn’t his daughter.

“So you knew I wasn’t your daughter? No wonder you had me abandoned right after we lost her”

“Well, that wasn’t my fault because I still choose to take care of you even though you were going to be part of the abomination she and that animal created and you know what else is funny?”

“She was going to run away and live with him even though he already has a wife and kid!”

“Why does that mean exactly?”

He let out chuckle, “It means you have a step brother living in that pack and it will interest you to know, He is the Beta of your pack,” Bradley said, his eyes narrowing back at Asher.

“What?” Beth said shockingly. Her thought starting to race with the thought of Alex being her own brother. Seemingly, she had always seen him as one but not once did she imagined they could actually be related for real.

And those green orbs of his always had the same glowing as hers. Could Bradley really be saying the truth? But then again what does he stand to gain by declaring Alex her half sibling.

Asher on the other hand has no hint of expression on his face other than the occasionally wincing in pain and groaning. He was doing a good job keeping all his pain in check. Bradley wanted to break him in front of Elizabeth but he wasn’t about to make it easy for him.

He was still the Alpha.

Beth couldn’t hold back her tears anymore as they start to flow freely across her cheeks. She kept on wondering Why her mother kept something as huge as that from her.

She could still remember vividly the look on her face each time that strange man came around. She’d always mentioned them going off to someplace safe. Not once did she imagined she was planning for them to run away from the man she thought was her perfect father figure.

A single thought crossed her mind and she couldn’t help but ask. “Did mother really died of cancer or you killed her after you found out she was going to leave you and go live with that other man”

Bradley looked shocked as her question had taken him by surprise but he quickly covered it up.

“Your mother was already dying whether you believe it or not. I only helped her out of her misery”

“You monster! You f*****g killed her” Beth cussed out in anger as she fought against her restraint, wishing she could break free and hurt the man whom she grew up thinking was a father even a little as much as she was hurting.

“I admire your little courage Lizzy but you better save it because you are going to need it” He said darkly before walking out the door once more.

Asher whose eyes had taken a shade of red and bled over had successfully broken part of his bindings as he looked like someone who was ready to burst into flames and rip through just about anything.

With each animalistic g***n that was deep in his throat, Asher broke free and without hesitation, he did same with that of Elizabeth but before he could break them through the window, they were once again confronted by Bradley who had returned with a loaded gun in hand and pointing it at both of them.

“Looks like I underestimated you again, Asher” The latter was taken unawares and couldn’t hide his shocked expression.

“I’m glad you also realize what an incompetent fool that you really are Lincoln”

For a moment, nothing happened as they was death silence. Bradley’s fingers were placed gingerly across the trigger with his eyes narrowed into slit.

“ Please let us go, you have done enough harm already” Elizabeth start to plead but Asher pulled her behind him, shielding her completely with his body.

“ Go ahead and pull the damn trigger Bradley and get this over with or you can be a man and face me with bunches and kicks” Asher challenged as he took a step forward and Bradley took one back.

“That’s where you are wrong, You are no man and I don’t know how to fight far so good bye” Bradley said, a small smile pulling the corner of his lips as he pulled the trigger loud into the night.
