The Shifters

Chapter 18: New Life?

Asher P.O.V.

I sat up in the bed and turned my alarm clock off, I had to get her to fall in love with me, I can't loose her. I opened the closet that was in my room and pulled out a black uniform. It was black slacks and a long button down top that stopped just over my butt. Wasn't very revealing or any thing special, and my closet was full of them.

I slipped it on and and combed through my hair real quick. I spritzed on some cologne and brushed my teeth, I had a small bathroom in the room. I finished up and quietly opened Beca's door.  She was sleeping soundly, she looked so peaceful and beautiful as she slept. I walked over to her and gently nudged her. She stirred and turned away from me. I shook her shoulder a little and she growled at me and smuggled into her bed. I moved the covers away abruptly from her and she groaned reaching for them. She sat up and looked at me. She growled at me but looked me over cautiously.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" I grabbed a towel and a bathrobe from her closet. "I'm Asher, your new servant. The bathroom is right there, I'll set out your outfit for the day, I'll be through that door, call if you need me." I handed her the robe and towel and she got up and left for the bathroom. I walked back into her closet and pulled out a gray dress. It was strapless and floorlength with a jewled belt I guess you could say. I grabbed a pair of heels the same color and a necklace with a diamond pendant shaped like a teardrop. I left her alone and walked back to my room. I sat on the bed and laid down. I sighed and waited for her to call me again to take her to breakfast.

Beca P.O.V.

I took the towel and robe from Asher and walked to my bathroom. I had this strange feeling I was supposed to love him or something but I knew I loved Ryan. Even though he did those things to me, I can remember that but I have a new undying love for him ever since I blacked out yesterday. I sat the stuff on the counter and turned on the shower. I took my clothes off and stepped into the shower.

I stepped out twenty minutes later and dried off with the towel and then wrapped it around my hair. I slipped the robe on and opened the door. I walked to the bed and looked at my outfit that was chosen for me. It was a pretty dress, I like it. I set the robe on the bed and unzipped the dress after putting on my undergarments. I slipped it on and tried to zip the dress myself. I got it halfway and I couldn't do it anymore. "Asher! I need you to help me with the dress!" He opened the door a second later and looked at me cautiously to make sure I wasn't indecent.

I turned my back towards him and I felt him zip up my dress. I felt his fingers graze my skin and it shot tingles through me. I felt my face grow hot out of embarrassment. He stepped back and I turned towards him to thank him.

"Sit I'll help you with your shoes." I blushed and sat down, I didn't really need him to help with my shoes. I lifted my leg up a little and he took the shoe and put it on my foot very gingerly like my foot would break if he did it wrong. I lifted my other foot and he did the same thing. As he touched my skin it sent shivers through my body. These feel familiar, but I can't put my finger on it. I stood up and put my necklace around my neck.

I left to the bathroom to get ready. I let my hair down and I quickly blow dried it. I let it set in its natural waves. I took some black eyeshadow and put that on my eyes and added a small wing, a small simple smokey eye.

After I was done getting ready I walked out of the bathroom and saw Asher waiting for me. "I'll escort you to breakfast." He held his arm out to me and I took it. We walked out of the room and down a hall and then down a set of stairs. I saw Ryan waiting for me at the bottom. I went down the stairs with Asher and met Ryan. "Good Morning Beca. Asher." He looked somewhat angry with Asher, I couldn't figure out why though.

I shook it off and took Ryan's waiting arm. We walked to a large dining room and he looked down at me into my eyes. I saw something flash through them, I saw myself and what he did to me. He gave me a love potion?! That bastard he'll pay, but soon. I felt the effects cloud my senses and I couldn't help but return it. I smiled into his eyes and he returned it.

A servant opened a huge set of doors and we walked inside the dining room, two places were set for us. He pulled out my chair and sat himself at the head with me on the left. He grabbed my hand and rubbed it lovingly with his thumb, I had to hold myself back from shuddering but the potion made me smile and hold his hand with my other hand.

A waiter brought out to drinks for us, one was a glass of blood and the other was orange juice both served in wine glasses. How did he know I needed blood? I looked over at him cautiously but I played it off as a loving glance. I sniffed the blood and my shark senses went into effect.
