Call me Alpha

Chapter 34: Plan

Ashira's POV

"You're crazy, Luce." I shook my head in disbelief. What has gotten into her? Escaping a mate, and an Alpha at that is simply not possible.

"I'll be more crazy being with Jacob, Ashi! Please!"

I never saw Lucy like this... broken. Or lost. I can hardly tell. Her eyes has puffed just from the bits of tears and I can say she's been crying a lot to have such sensitive eyes.

I'm not sure if I must help her but a part of me pity her. I don't want to see her like this. Never.

"How do you plan this exactly? I'm not agreeing with your idea but I'm curious how you'll pull this off." I said, calmly. Im trying to digest the situation. Avoiding to decide hastily or this could be worse. But it can be better, too. Oh, god. This will sure explode my head.

"Youre not agreeing yet."her voice is full of hope. "You won't do much, Ash. All I ask is someone to cover for me. Even Harley won't back me up." she whined and kicked her feet in the air. She looks so devastated, frustrated.

"Harley?" I asked, trying to keep up with the conversation.

"His Gamma!"

"Oh. No wonder he don't support the idea, Luce. It's crazy. I won't favor it either." I commented. It's true. I'm not trying to favor her. Her mate is an Alpha and I won't stand a chance with him. If he is Aiden, then I might but Jacob looks tough and hard to kid around.

She rolled his eyes to me then looked at me again with those hopeful pair.of eyes. Sigh. Lucy is being Lucy again. No one can break her thoughts, let alone her decisions.

"Come on, Ash. This is the first time I've ever set my foot outside his land, hell, outside his house! I can't stay with him! I needed space between us."

"That space will also torture you, Luce. One way or the other, you'll suffer. And he will find you."

"I know that but at least he'll suffer, too! Please Ashi! I have no one in his pack and now I have you here. You're my only hope."

Her face is red. I can tell that her frustration is up on the ledge, yet I can't decide. But I want to. But again, what may happen to her?

'I can hear you, guys.'

I jumped when I heard Seth inside my had. Shit. I forgot that we're on a normal room. I didn't expect that we'll be talking about something private like this. What if someone else is out there?

'Is anybody outside right now?'

'Nah. Everyone went to the pack building. Harley even. Both of you are under my custody until lunch.'

'That's good. Please keep this between us.' And I hope Seth still trust me enough to keep a secret again with me.

"Ash! Come on! I hope you're thinking of backing me up with that silence." Luce interjected when I'm on a long pause. Heck. This is sheer pressure.

'Always. But please don't consider helping your friend.'

I sighed when Seth answer me. Though his opinion is, once again, opposite of what I am thinking. Or what my mind is entertaining.

I looked at Luce. She's not looking at me and stares at the blank canvass on the wall. She's waiting for me to speak, letting me decide. She is trying to pursue me but she still let me choose.

"I'm thinking but I'm not sure with your idea. You might face consequences for this, and you'll get me in trouble."

"Who cares? You love trouble. Please, Ashiii!"
