Chapter 22

TWENTY-TWO

"Asher?" Lily's expression quickly shifted from frustration to concern.

"I'm fine." He straightened after a moment, shaking his head as if just to dismiss it.

"No, you are not. That is the third time this week." Lily was not convinced.

"It is nothing," he insisted.

But Lily was not the one to back down that easily. She can remember the first time the situation happened.

FLASHBACK 

Asher was in his office, studying some maps with his beta, Micah. Then, suddenly, he started coughing till he grew more and more.

Micah had to rush down to Lily's chamber just to call her.

"Lily, we have a problem." Micah said, with a concerned face.

"What's wrong, Micah? What happened?" She asked, her tone was sounding more urgent.

"It is the Alpha. I don't know what's wrong with him. You should come quickly, please." Micah said.
