Alpha Asher Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Dec 1, 2025 Alaya Sky ran around me at impossible speed. Never have I seen her put so much effort into something that isn't about makeup and clothes. Actually, maybe it does have to do with that... It's been a single day since I found out about this letter. Four days since Sky found out. She had been away for a week before, meaning the paper had been left in her mailbox for a few days. Now, she thinks that's the reason why the invitations and promised gifts haven't arrived. I just sit on the edge of her bed watching her freak out.

Sky hadn't listened when I told her I had no interest in going. Sure, I'm curious, but being watched by the millions that inhabit this Pack as I walk in doesn't appeal to me if I'm perfectly honest. "It's fine, it isn't even past twelve yet," I remind her, as she wanders around the room, trying to keep herself busy. "The parties tonight," she responds. "And you haven't even given me a proper "yes I'm going" just yet." I sigh, falling back onto her bed. Actually it's her and Dylan's bed. The thought makes me sit right back up again, mildly disgusted at the thoughts that run through my head.

"I can't," I tell her tersely. "I have something on-" "No you don't." "How would you know?" She rolls her eyes at me. "I'm your sister. I know when you lie." Maybe if I told her I'm learning lines for an audition she would believe me. It's true. Then she would make fun of me, and tell me my dreams should remain in my head. The amount of times she told me girls from our part of town don't become actresses is ridiculous. Recently she has had the audacity to tell me I should just marry a rich man, because apparently that is the only chance I will have to make it in the world.

"Seriously," I reprimand. "Carter and I are doing something." Sky's eyebrow quirks up, and a sly smile graces her features. Here we go, the mind in the gutter Desire Pack trait is rising to the surface. "You two really are quite friendly, aren't you? This time, it was my turn to roll my eyes. This isn't the first time I've heard her little speech about my best friend. She likes to pretend she didn't make out with him in front of me at high school, trying to put us together now since she's been tied down by her husband. I think she just likes the challenge.

I push her thighs away as she walked closer, not letting her share a seat next to me on the bed. "Trust me, we are just friends-" "Hold on a minute," she suddenly cuts me off. "Isn't your little boy toy going to the party as one of Alpha Asher's little slaves?" I sigh. "He's not my boy toy." "No but seriously," Sky presses, tilting her head slightly. "If you're not going to be with Carter, where are you going to be big sister?" All of a sudden, the doorbell from downstairs sounded. Sky lit up like a light stitch, suspecting it was something to do with the party tonight.

Without addressing me any further, she ran off down the stairs. Quickly, I run to the window, curious to see who had shown up here, and if they have anything to do with this party. To see if it's actually real. A sleek black car pulled out from the driveway, whoever's at the wheel is completely shaded by the tint. They disappear quickly, just as Sky comes out the door. As she pads back up the stairs, I resume my spot on the bed. Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes dazzling with excitement. She holds a glittering golden box, tied at the top with a magnificently large bow.

She almost drops the large thing as she tries to place is gently on the floor. "I didn't get to see who dropped it off," Sky comments, kneeling in the floor as she tugs gently on the end of the bow. It falls away without much resistance. "It kind of just appeared."
