Chapter 103: Chapter 103

“Huh, mated indeed!” A familiar voice suddenly asserted enigmatically behind me, attracting my attention.

I paused in my tracks and turned toward Asher in surprise, bewilderment, and curiosity, wondering what he was doing here.

After all, Wyatt had agreed to speak to Asher not to train me for the week, so I didn't expect to see him until the next week, which was when our training would begin again.

I stared at Asher and tilted my head in a puzzle, wondering the intent of Asher's statement. Should I take his words as a compliment or not? However, I pushed the thought away and nodded my head. “Obviously, right?" I responded.

It's obvious that Wyatt and I are together, and I believe the news should have spread throughout the pack. So it made me confused about what Asher meant.

Upon hearing my reply, Asher clicked his teeth with his tongue, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at me with a cold glint flickering past his eyes. “The lady in between two friends; what's special about you?” Asher threw with a cold and enigmatic tone immediately; his voice filled with sarcasm.

My eyes flew wide in shock, not expecting Asher to say such words to me.

What does Asher mean? Does he mean that I'm a whore, or does he mean I'm a troublemaker whose mission was to ruin Oswald and Wyatt's relationship?

I glared at Asher and gritted my teeth, intense fury overwhelming my whole being. “Asher, what do you mean?” I retorted coldly, hoping that I was mistaken; that his words didn't mean what I took them to be.

Asher had always been playful. Perhaps he's just joking around. Yes, it must be. Pondering like that, I tried to calm myself with the thoughts that I was probably thinking too much.

Unperturbed, Asher tucked his hands in his trousers' pocket and took two steps toward me before looking down at me, the coldness in his eyes, strong as ever. “The Alpha and Beta's relationship is on the edge—all because of you.” He stated and scowled in disdain. Immediately, he left without looking back, his figure steady and tall.

My face turned pale and my fist clenched. It turns out that my thinking wasn't wrong. Asher was indeed looking down on me. Why? Just why?

I stomped my feet and ruffled my hair angrily. How dare he make assumptions about what he sees, does he know what happened between us? Does he? I still can't believe that Asher of all will accuse me based on what he saw.

What did he mean I came in between Oswald and Wyatt's relationship when it was Oswald's fault from the very beginning?

Oswald was the one who wanted to have nothing to do with me because he has a Luna, yet he was the one who kept troubling my life whenever he saw me getting close to another man!

I expected him to know. I expected Asher to know better!

I took a deep breath to calm my chaotic thoughts. Perhaps, it was all my fault! If I had strictly stayed away from Oswald in the beginning. If I hadn't let all those multiple incidents happen between us, none of this…

'Stop it, Filippa. It's not your fault!’ Maia suddenly interjected, her voice holding a mixture of coaxing and rebuking for the self-blame. 'Even when we tried to stay away from him, did he let us be? No, he never! He doesn't want us and doesn't want us to be with someone else. That's what's called selfish! So, how's that our fault?’ Maia conveyed and snorted in disdain for Oswald's actions.

Suddenly, Maia sighed and continued proudly: ‘So what if Asher thought of us as something we aren't? We don't need to care or mind it; after all, he's not Wyatt or the Hayes family. If Wyatt likes us just like that, then it's worth it. Moreover, Wyatt is going through a lot for us. If we can't even handle this little bit, then we are not worthy of him, don't you think?’ Maia monologue in a steady tone

I couldn't help but fall into thought upon hearing Maia's explanation. Maia could even think to the depth: Why can't I do that?

Yes, Maia was right! So what if Asher thought of me as a bad person? I don't need to care! After all, Asher isn't Wyatt.

Wyatt was also indifferent when Rex gave him the bad person label, so why can't I do the same on Wyatt's behalf?

I clenched my jaw and straightened my back. I took a deep calm breath and nodded my head candidly. “Yes, Maia. You're right! So what? He and everyone can think whatever they want! As long as Wyatt wants us, then none of it matters.“ I affirmed seriously while clenching my fist.

However, I puffed my cheeks and let out a deep sigh in the next second.

Although I tried to push it, I couldn't help the feeling of sadness and hurt that crept around my system.

Even though I've been used to pain for the majority of my life, I still can't help the pain that swirls in my system.

I took a deep breath to calm my chaotic nerves. Perhaps I should practice. Yes, practicing should help me let out.

Ever since Rex's incident, it's an underestimation to say I have a lot of things on my mind, so practicing should help me out.

Talking about practicing and Rex, I wonder if Rex is currently doing fine. I ran my hand through my hair and sighed dejectedly.

It's all my fault for giving him hopeless hope. Hugh. I hope he's fine.

It's so tiring to think of it all.

I sighed and dragged my feet toward the forest, a lot of things running through my mind. Currently, things just seemed so scary: Rex, Wyatt, Oswald, and now Asher.

What went wrong? How did everything suddenly turn downhill?

I wonder when things will relent for Wyatt and me, or would we have to get used to this for the rest of our lives?

I bit my lower lip in distress. It can't work that way, can it?

Wyatt is the beta. If I want to do without interacting with them, he can't do without it.

Moreover, I'm afraid that Oswald will want to use the current medium to cause trouble for Wyatt. Isn't that the type of person Oswald is? He is.

And I can't ask Wyatt because he won't be willing to tell me so I won't get worried. And Arya won't tell me anything sensitive, moreover, that's if she knows.

Besides, Asher, who could be… Sigh! I shouldn't be thinking about it.

The more I continue to do so, the more I will drive myself crazy due to overwhelming thoughts!
