Princess of the Werewolves novel Chapter 79

Why couldn't my life just be simple?

Asher

Dr. Nale literally dragged me into the car. After I yelled at Eve, I mind-linked her, begging her to come back. I didn't want to leave with her mad at me. I screwed up, big time.

"You got that right" Gavin, my wolf, intervened.

I groaned and ran my hand down my face as Carlos, one of my warriors, drove us away from the pack house. I tried to mind-link Eve again, but I just kept hitting her mental wall. God. I'm such an idiot.

"Wow. You just realized this?" Gavin said sarcastically.

I growled at him. "You're not fuckin' helping" I said before pushing him to the back of my mind.

"Can I borrow your phone?" I asked Carlos since my phone is in my duffle-bag. He nodded and dug the device out of his pocket. "Thanks" I said while typing Shawn's number.

The annoying ringing started and I waited for Shawn to answer. "Hello?"

"Hey, Shawn. It's Asher" I greeted him.

"Oh. What's going on?" he asked. "I heard you and Eve yelling. It didn't sound good" he stated.

I sighed. "I might have used my Alpha voice on her, and she teleported out the house"

"Damn. And you just left?" he asked with a little anger in his voice.

I didn't yell at him for being angry. Even I was angry at myself. "Someone" I said while glaring at Dr. Nale. "Dragged me out the house"

"I'll try to find her"

I sighed in relief. "Thanks. You can't mind-link her though. She has her wall up" I informed him.

Fingers snapped in my face, pulling me from my thoughts. "Were you listening?" Dr. Nale questioned. I didn't even have to answer. "I'm sorry, Patrick. Alpha Reed has some personal issues to deal with" he said slowly. "Go call your mate" Dr. Nale demanded. "Use my phone. It would be a better chance of her answering if its not your number" Ouch. That one stung. But he's probably right.

I thanked him and grabbed his phone before walking to a nearby park. I sat on the swings and dialed Eve's number. The annoying sound was informing me that her phone was ringing. "Hey. This is Eve. Leave a message after this beep thing-y" her voice said, the call going to voicemail.

I sighed and called her again. This time, she actually picked up. "Hello?" Just hearing her voice made me feel better. "Hello?" she asked again.

"Eve. It's me, Asher" I said. The other line was complete silence. I looked at the phone screen that said we were still connected. "Baby. I'm so sorry" I said softly. She still didn't say anything. Honestly, I would rather have her yell at me, than be silent. "Please say something" I begged.

I heard her sniffle and I instantly hated myself for making her cry. My heart ached. I continued to listen to her cry, but she didn't say anything. "Eve, talk to me. I can't stand the silence. Please" I pleaded.

She took a deep breath before she exploded. "We're mates, Asher" Well, I know that. "Which means we're the Alpha and Luna, and more importantly, we are the King and Queen. We're equals" Guilt filled my whole body.

"I-"

"No!" Eve snapped, cutting off my apology. "Just listen. For once, just listen" she said quietly. I wasn't gonna push my luck. I stayed silent. She's hurting, and she needs to let it out.
