The day was finally here. The day we get our parents back, the day we might lose something. Sighing, i turned to my side, looking at Asher who was sleeping with his arms wrapped around my naked body under the blanket. I smiled as i remembered what happened last night. He claimed me like he said he would.

My fingers involuntarily found themselves playing with his hair as slept. He had such pretty hair. Brown, soft. After last night, i was sure i was slowly but surely falling in love with him.

"I could get used to this." His morning voice was something i never thought I'd hear. I clenched my thighs in response, the action completely going unnoticed by him. I mentally sighed in relief. I was not going to explain how his morning voice was turning me on. He'd think im weird or something.

"To what, exactly?" I raised a questioning brow at him, fighting off a smile. "To this. To you. To waking up next to you. Naked and fucked."

My cheeks reddened at his statement as the memories of last night came flashing back yet again. "Asher...."

"Princess." He grinned before chuckling at my shyness. He pulled me closer to him and buried his face in the crook of my neck. "You're so fucking beautiful."

"You are too." I whispered, feeling him smile against my neck.

"Rise and shine, sleeping beauties." The slamming of the door of my room gained both our attention, making me grip the blanket tighter in attempt to cover our bodies from the intruders. I rolled my eyes at Bash and Theo entering while Asher groaned at their presence. Their eyes fell on us, a grin appeared on both their faces. "You owe me $100." Theo glared at Bash before rolling his eyes and reluctantly took out his wallet before removing said amount.

"What is going on here?", I asked, my grip still tightening on the blanket. Bash smiled before replying. "We made a bet about when you guys will finally fuck. I said it would be within this week and Theo said it would be the next."

"Fuckers." Asher flipped them off before pointing to the door. "Leave."

"Im afraid we can't do that." Theo replied with a sigh. "A message has come through from Jason and Cherry with the location and time." Asher looked at him, urging him to tell us the information given. "It is in two hours at Cherry's house."

"They're in a hurry to lose or what?" Asher shook his head, "But okay." He looked at his friends, "Im not going there alone. Tell the men to get ready. I need them near the house in case they decide to play us dirty."

Nodding, both Bash and Theo left the room to do what he asked for.

Two hours passed ridiculously quick. We were currently in the car, driving to Cherry's house completely prepared. Four black cars were behind us. They were going to park elsewhere, out of sight and engage in war if given the order strictly by one of us only- either Asher, me, Bash or Theo.

I spent a lot of time with Aaron before leaving. The second i got out of bed, we had breakfast and i spent time with my brother. I hated the possibility of not being able to see him again more than anything.

"It's going to be alright." Asher reminded us, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. "I'll make sure of it."

And before i knew it, the car stopped signaling that we reached our destination. Stepping out of the car, we were instantly surrounded by a dozen of guards.

"Tell your dogs to back off, Cherry." Asher groaned, glaring at Cherry who was standing behind them with a boy who looked around 18. It wouldn't take a genius to know that this right there, was her son. Garrett. The kid i was going to fight with. No shit she thought he could beat me. Garrett was a petite boy, flesh on bones. He looked like he wasn't being fed properly but then again, it was probably his choice and me? Well, same but physique never mattered when it came to skills- something Cherry could learn.

"My men." Garrett corrected earning a smirk from Asher. I knew that smirk all too well. "Is that so? Your mom looks to be the one calling the shots here."

"Only because i have given her the permission to do so." He rolled his eyes at Asher, his fists clenching earning him a look from his mother. "I am his mother. There is nothing wrong in helping my son in his business."

"Hmm. Sure." Asher gave them a tight smile before flicking his gaze to Cherry. "I want to see our parents."

Cherry nodded at Bash and Theo, "They weren't suppose to be here."

"Neither were your guard dogs."

Cherry rolled her eyes, "If things go sideways, you would still be outnumbered." That statement of hers earned her a grin from the three boys. "Sure." They muttered under their breath.

Cherry did not question that, her first mistake so far. She ordered the guards stepped aside, letting us pass through to get inside her house. "Follow me." And we did, we followed behind her as she passed several rooms until she stopped in front of one. Twisting the key in the hole, the door finally opened, revealing our parents in a much more better place than the basement they were in.

I immediately rushed in my mother's embrace having missed her and my father. They hugged me back, no words were exchanged until we broke the hug.
"Katherine. Oh my god." My mother breathed through her tears, "I have missed you, darling. How did you find us?"

"Have you been taken care of properly?" I questioned, looking at both of them before turning to look at Asher who had his mother in his embrace.

"Yes, we have." My father answered, glaring at Cherry. "We have been told you made some kind of deal with those monsters."

"Katherine." Jonathan's voice boomed from behind me. Turning around, he pulled me into a hug. "Im so sorry i dragged you into this."

"You didn't." I hugged him back before breaking the hug. "We have a common enemy."

"We have never met that woman in our lives before." My mother glared at Cherry, "How do we have a common enemy?"

"She is working with our enemy." I stated earning confusing looks from them. "He is not here right now. Probably preparing for war."

"Who dared betrayed us?"

"Jason." I answered my dad's question and was greeted with silence. No words. I was pretty sure you could hear the sound of a pin falling on the ground.

"Jason?" My mother repeated, earning a nod from me. "W-why?"

I have seen my father angry before when someone has betrayed him but the look on his face right now, it was something I have never seen before. He was furious, mad, looked ready to kill. If Jason was here, he would have probably killed him on sight. Fucker knew my father's wrath- the whole reason he has avoided this situation right now.

"You are the famous Katherine." A feminine small voice spoke. Asher's mother. I could see where he got his eyes now. His mother was a beautiful woman. "Im sorry we had to meet under this circumstances."

"I am too." I smiled at her, "It's so nice to meet you."

"Likewise." She pulled me in a hug, "I have heard so many good things about you." She nodded at my parents, "From your parents and my husband." Looking at Asher, she added, "Im sure soon, from my son too."

"Mom...." Asher scratched the back of his neck nervously before shaking his head. He then turned to look at my parents before giving them a curt nod as a sign of greeting. "You make pretty children."

I almost choked on my breath when he stated that. Bash and Theo chuckled but hummed in agreement nonetheless while Asher earned pointed looks from my parents and a smack on the head from his mother.

"Time to go." Cherry interrupted us. "Let's go outside. Jason is waiting."
