Chapter 30
ASHERS PON
It was crucial that I learned to control my wolf, Ryder. He was powerful and had a short temper. If I let him take control, things could get out of hand quickly 1 had spent years practicing this skill, but it was a constant battle.
Ryder was pacing in my mind, growling and snarling at the thought of what was happening at the Packhouse. He wanted to take control, to run and attack. I could feel his anger bubbling up inside me.
I took a deep breath, focusing on calming him slown. “Ryder, Inred you to calm down,” I said through the telepathic link we shared. “I know you’re angry, but we need to be rational here.”
“Why are we holding back! They’re attacking our pack Ryder replied, his voice tinged with fury.
“I know, but we need to assess the situation first. We don’t know who or what we’re dealing with yet” I replied, trying to reason with him.
Ryder snorted in disbelief. “I know what we’re dealing with, Asher. We’re dealing with enemies of the pack, and they need to be taken care of”
“Yes, but we need to make sure we’re not walking into a trap. We need to be smart about this,” I reminded him.
Ryder growled low in his throat, but I could feel him calming down slightly. “Fine, but we need to act quickly,” he conceded.
I nodded, my focus shifting to the task at hand. I had to control Ryder, channeling his strength and aggression while also keeping him in check. It
as a delicate balance, one that required constant attention
But I had to admit, there were times when I felt overwhelmed by Ryder’s power. He was a force to be reckoned with, and sometimes it was hard to keep him under control
As I felt the telepathic connection with my wolf, Ryder, I sensed his distress immediately. His voice echoed in my head, urgent and panicked. “Alpha, something is wrong. Your men are being attacked. I can’t reach any of them.”
My heart sank as I tried to connect with the other guards, but no one responded. Panic began to set in as I realized the gravity of the situation. My pack, my people were in danger, and I was miles away,
Without a moment’s hesitation, I rushed to the packhouse, my mind racing with questions. Who could be attacking my pack yet again I thought we were done with all of them!
As I approached the packhouse, my heart sank even further.
The sight of my two guards lying on the ground, their blood pooling around them, was enough to make my blood boil with rage. Fury and grief overtook me as I realized that my pack was under attack
Their lifeless bodies were contorted in pain, and the smell of death filled the air. My heart ached for their families, and I vowed to make the rogues pay for their treachery.
Ryder, my wolf, growled deep in my mind, urging me to let him take over and exact revenge on the rogues.
How could this happen!.
I took a deep breath, trying to quell the anger and sorrow that threatened to consume me. But my wolf was already in control, his voice ringing loud and clear in my head.
Those rogues were clever and quick, and I underestimated their strength. They had managed to infitrate guards without a sound.

These rogues were not your average pack of troublemakers. They were organized and well–trained, and I knew we were dealing with a dangerous threat
It wasn’t until Frame across one of the dead rogues that I realized just how clever they were. The rogue had a small vial of wolf’s bane in his pocket. and I immediately knew what they had planned for inc
I shuddered at the thought of what could have happened if i had been caught off guard by the poison. I had always prided myself on my strength and control as an Alphia, but these rugues lud proven to me that I couldn’t let my guard down for even a moment.
I vowed to track down every last one of these stands and make them pay for what they had done to my pack and my guards. They had crossed a line, and there would be no merry

“We need to End
I nodded in agreement, my eyes scanning the area for any chies. The scent of the attackers was still fresh, and I could tell that there were at least three of them
I followed the trail, my senses heightened as I searched for any signs of my missing grands. As I rounded a comer, I came face to face with one of

I took a deep breath, my mind racing with thoughts of what to do next.
As I rushed into the Packhouse, my heart was racing with fear and anger. The sight of the open doors and the silent halls filled me with dread. Something was terribly wrong here, and I knew it
I could feel my wolf. Ryder, growling within me, urging me to attack whatever danger lay ahead. But I knew that I had to control him if I wanted to be effective so I took a deep breath and focused my mind.
As I made my way through the halls, I saw that the place had been ransacked. Fumiture was overturned, and papers were strewn about. But there was no sign of the rogues
Then I heard a voice that filled me with dread. It was one of my men, and he was speaking in a trembling voice. They took her, Alpha. They took Raya.”
My heart sank, and a surge of anger raced through me. I was going to kill those bastards.
I rushed up the stairs, my feet pounding against the floor. As I got closer to her room, I heard her screams. My heart was racing, and I knew I had to
act fast.
As I burst through the door, I saw her struggling against a very large rogue that seemed to be enjoying her fear as she backed off in pure, unallocated fear.
Raya’s body was trembling as she lay on the floor, blood dripping from her forehead. I scooped her up in my arms, cradling her close to my chest as I surveyed the damage. The room was in shambles, furniture overturned and shattered glass littering the ground.
“Raya,” I whispered, stroking her hair gently. “Are you okay!”
She looked up at me, her eyes filled with fear and pain. “Asher,” she choked out, her voice barely above a whisper.
As Raya hugged me out of fear, I felt a strange sensation shoot up my arms. It was like a spark of electricity that traveled through my veins, causing a jolt of reaction in my body. The warmth of her body against mine felt comforting, and I wanted to hold her close. But at the same time, I felt a sense of unease and discomfort, as if something was not right.
My wolf, Ryder, who had been restless just moments ago, instantly calmed at the feeling of her in my arms. I could feel his contentment through our bond, which made me wonder what it was about this girl that had such an effect on me. I had never felt this way before, not even with my previous mates.
I tried to push the thoughts away, knowing that they were not productive at the moment. We had just been attacked, and the pack was still in danger. I couldn’t afford to let my guard down or get distracted by something as trivial as a girl.
But despite my efforts, my mind kept wandering back to her. It was as if she had awakened something in me, something that had been dormant for a long time. I felt a pulsing desire for her, and it scared me.
I carried her out of the room, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and anger. I couldn’t believe someone had been able to get past my guards and harm her. I had failed to protect her, and I swore to myself that I would never let it happen again.
As I made my way down the hall, I called out to my men, demanding to know what had happened. They told me that the rogues had somehow managed to slip past the perimeter and make their way into the Packhouse undetected. I was furious, but I had no time to waste on anger. I needed to get Raya to safety.
I carried her to a secret room, and I gently placed her on the bed. She looked so small and vulnerable,

and the fact that I had let my guard down around Raya. I couldn’t let her see my soft side, not when the pack was in such turmoil.
