Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 69

I took another step, before my legs gave out. I fell to the floor. "Damn it!" I cursed. I slapped a hand over my mouth, but it was too late. Asher jumped out of bed and was at my side.

"What happened?" he asked while scanning my body for injuries. Heat crept up to my face, and I covered my eyes with my hands. "Babe?" Asher asked concerned.

I took a deep breath before moving my hands. I looked everywhere except at Asher. "Uh... Can you... put on pants?" I asked sheepishly.

A chuckle escaped his lips before he pulled on a pair of grey sweats. Asher walked back over to me and gently pulled me up to stand. "Why were you on the floor?" he asked.

"I fell" I mumbled. My legs were shaking, so I grabbed Asher's arm to keep myself standing.

Asher put his hands on my waist and looked at me concerned. "What's wrong?" he asked.

I motioned to my lower body, but Asher got confused. "I'm sore" I said quietly.

He sighed and gently kissed me. He rested his forehead against mine. "I'm sorry" he muttered, making his hot breath blow against my lips.

"What for?" I asked confused. Did he regret last night? He probably doesn't want to be with me. Sadness washed over me at the though of Asher leaving me. "D-do you regret it?" I voiced my thoughts.

Asher suddenly moved his head away and cupped my face in his hands. "I would never regret last night" he assured me. "I love you so much; and I'm never leaving"

I sighed. "You actually do have to leave" I argued while prying his hands away from my face. "You have a life with your pack. All your friends are there" He's been here for almost three months, leaving his pack without their Alpha. Leaving Brian without his best friend. He dropped everything just for me.

Asher shook his head. "You are my life. You are my family" his words immediately made a smile spread across my face. "Why would you even think that I would regret mating with you?" he questioned a few moments later.

"I don't know" I mumbled. I watched as his eyes glazed over, then his face lit up with the biggest smile I've ever seen. "What's going on?" I questioned.

Asher nodded. "We spent hours just talking about you. Everyone is so excited to meet you"

Everyone? "W-What about Wendy?" I asked quietly. Its still a soft subject, but I can't go without knowing what's waiting for me there.

I heard Asher intake a sharp breath. "Something happened while I was there" he stated. I nodded for him to continue. "Well, uh... Wendy kept calling herself Luna, and she was being disrespectful to me, and to you. I banished her from my pack"

"She went rogue?" I inquired.

"Yeah... She didn't exactly have a choice" he said quietly, almost as if he was embarrassed. "When I banished her, I might have... uh... gave her a Royal Mark?" he stated, but it came out as a question.

A Royal Mark. I shrugged in response. "Okay, so she's gone?"
