Chapter 125 0125
Mira POV

It has been days since Mila died, and even now, I still cannot believe everything that has happened. Her body had been thrown into the Forbidden Forest, left for the wild creatures to devour, just like Asher had ordered. Despite all the pain she caused me, despite all the tears and blood she brought into my life, a part of me still wished things had turned out differently. She was still my sister. I wished we could have lived like normal sisters, laughing together, protecting each other, instead of becoming enemies. Everything had finally gone back to normal inside Silver Pack. Zane was safe again, Asher stayed close to us every day, and the pack slowly returned to peace, yet my heart still carried fear because of the secret I had been hiding for so long.

“Mira.”

I suddenly heard my name and slowly lifted my head from the mirror. I was surprised to see Asher standing behind me because I had been so lost in my thoughts that I did not even hear him enter the room. He stood there quietly for a moment, his eyes fixed on me with so much softness and love that it made my heart tighten painfully inside my chest. My hair rested loosely over my shoulders while I sat before the dressing table. Without saying anything, Asher slowly walked closer to me until he stood right behind my chair. Then he reached for the small bottle of body oil resting on the table beside me.

I watched him through the mirror as he poured some oil into his palm before gently rubbing his hands together. Slowly, he placed both hands on my shoulders and began massaging them softly. His touch was warm, gentle, and comforting, slowly relaxing my body under his fingers. I closed my eyes for a moment as I enjoyed the feeling of his hands moving carefully across my skin.

“Asher…” I whispered, my voice trembling slightly.

He still did not reply immediately. Instead, he continued touching me carefully as though I was something fragile he was afraid of breaking. After a while, he gently lifted my chin with his fingers, forcing me to look at him through the mirror. My breath caught the moment our eyes met. There was so much love inside his gaze that it scared me. Slowly, he bent down and pressed his lips softly against mine.  My heart beat wildly against my chest as he kissed me again and again.

“I want you to be mine forever, Mira,” he whispered against my lips. “Please… become my wife.”

The words made my chest tighten painfully. For a moment, I kissed him back because I loved him too much to push him away immediately. But after a while, I slowly pulled away from him and stood up from the chair. My hands wrapped around his neck while his hands immediately moved to my waist, pulling me closer to him as if he was afraid I would disappear. I looked deeply into his eyes, and the more I stared at him, the harder it became to say the truth. Tears slowly gathered in my eyes as fear consumed me completely.

“Asher… I can’t marry you,” I finally whispered weakly.

Immediately, the happiness on his face disappeared. His expression slowly turned into confusion and pain as though my words had stabbed directly into his heart. He stared at me in disbelief, unable to understand what I was saying. Slowly, his hands loosened around my waist while sadness filled his eyes.

“Why?” he asked brokenly. “Mira… why are you saying this?”

I looked away from him because I could not bear the pain on his face. He stepped closer to me again, holding both my hands tightly in his as desperation filled his voice.

“Please,” he whispered shakily. “Please don’t do this to me. I know I hurt you before. I know I was stupid enough to reject you and make you suffer, but I swear I regret everything. I love you, Mira. I love you more than anything else in this world.” His voice cracked painfully as tears slowly filled his eyes. “Just tell me what the problem is. I’m ready to do anything. I’ll protect you. I’ll protect Zane. Just don’t leave me.”

My heart shattered hearing his words. Tears finally rolled down my cheeks as I stared at him, trembling before me. He looked so broken, so terrified of losing me, and it only made this harder. He kept speaking without giving me the chance to respond.

“All I want is you,” he continued. “I don’t care about anything else anymore. Just stay with me… please.”

I could not hold it in any longer. The fear, the guilt, the secret I had buried deep inside myself finally exploded out of me.

“Because I’m a witch!” I suddenly shouted through tears.

Silence immediately filled the room.

Asher froze completely. His entire body went still while he stared at me in shock, like he could not believe what he had just heard. My heart pounded wildly inside my chest as fear swallowed me whole. This was the moment I had dreaded for so long. The moment he would finally see me as a monster. I slowly lowered my head as more tears slipped down my face.

“I’m a witch,” I whispered again weakly. “I’m sorry I hid it from you all this time. I was scared… scared that you would hate me if you found out the truth.”

The room remained quiet. I could barely breathe while waiting for his reaction. Slowly, I stepped closer to him again, my entire body trembling.

“Now you understand why we can’t be together,” I said brokenly. “Please… just let me go, Asher.”

But before I could finish speaking, Asher suddenly pulled me into his arms and crashed his lips against mine. My eyes widened in complete shock as he kissed me deeply, holding me tightly against his chest like he never wanted to let me go again. The moment I realized he was not rejecting me, my body completely broke down. I burst into tears inside the kiss, my hands clutching tightly onto his shirt while my shoulders shook.

When he finally pulled away, he rested his forehead gently against mine and wrapped both arms around me.

“I don’t care,” he whispered. “I don’t care if you’re a witch or anything else in this world. I just want you. Only you.”

I cried harder hearing those words. For so long, I had been terrified that the truth would destroy everything between us, but instead, he held me even tighter. Slowly, I pulled away just enough to look deeply into his eyes. 

“Thank you,” I whispered tearfully before kissing him again.

We continued kissing for a while before Asher carried me and slowly placed me on the bed. Once we were on the bed, Asher started taking off his clothes and dropped them on the floor. As I watched him take off his clothes, I was already getting hotter and hotter. 

After he was done, taken off his clothes, and he knelt by the side of the bed and started kissing my toes, he was nibbling, licking, and sucking, slowly making his way to her legs. My whole body was on fire; it was raging and blazing. And panting and moaning from what Asher was doing to me. 

After a while, I felt him pulling off my clothes, and when he succeeded in taking them off, he tossed it side, and then he put one finger inside me, before he began licking and sucking my middle. 

It felt like I was going to explode with the way Asher was moving his finger in and out, and also licking at the same time.  After a while, he stopped and rushed on top of me and started kissing my face.
