Chapter 0188
After waking so many times during the night being kicked and elbowed by an extremely fidgety sister of mine, I was actually grateful when my alarm went off. It appeared she had not learned to sleep any less restlessly since she had grown up. I suppose I should be grateful she didn't have nightmares any longer and squeal in her sleep the way she used to! Nor did she wet the bed. Both habits she had thankfully grown out of, or my night's sleep would have been even worse, that is for sure!
"Eurgh, is that the fire alarm?" Morgan grumbled, placing the pillow over her head as I leaned over to turn my alarm off, and I smiled.
"Nope, just my wake-up call." I prodded her gently.
"Mine too, I assume." She muttered. "Giving me a bloody headache!"
"You can stay in bed, if you like." I told her, heading to the bathroom. "Rest a little, and I will come and find you when I have finished work."
"I will come with you, is that okay?" she asked sleepily, and I smiled back at her.
"If that is what you want to do." I was sure the children would like seeing her, and I doubted the other teachers would mind. But the kids singing their songs delightfully out of tune, would likely do nothing to help that headache of hers, I thought to myself with a chuckle to myself as I headed into the shower.
I quickly showered, and wrapped myself in a towel, before standing in front of the mirror, and using the new hair product my sister had brought for me, to tame but enhance my curls, deciding to allow my natural curls to be on show today. When she had done my little makeover last night, she showed me some new make-up techniques too. Not that I usually bother with make-up too much, but I definitely liked the hair.
As I emerged from my en-suite, Morgan was sitting on my bed, a big smile on her face. "Yay!" she winked at me. "You used it. It suits you. That big bad Beta won't be able to resist you." she winked again before dashing past me to the en-suite before I could argue.
I quickly got dressed in a simple baby blue shift dress and tan gladiator-style sandals. I kept my make-up simple today. But, I think my overall look worked, and a small part of me kind of wished I was seeing Asher...
'Oh who are you kidding?!' Akira giggled. 'Every single part of you was wishing! Craving him, even.'
I rolled my eyes at her, as Morgan came out of the bathroom, already showered, and dressed. In the cutest little matching navy with white trim capri pants and, tank top. And Navy chunky sandals. Her long dark hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, enhancing her beautiful face. My sister has definitely got the looks in our family..
“Come on then." I hooked my arm through hers. "We should get you some food before we start." I urged her, knowing she would need energy for dealing with the little monsters in my class, and my sister grinned at me.
"I think I need coffee more than anything." She told me, as we slipped out of my bedroom, just as Asher walked from his room, his eyes instantly falling upon me as he did, and his face lighting up.
"Good morning ladies." He greeted us. "On your way for breakfast?" he asked, and I nodded.
I had butterflies at the sight of him, and Akira was pacing within my mind, the two of us already missing him terribly, despite only seeing him yesterday. I tried to act like everything was perfectly normal while I led my sister toward the staircase, fully aware of the fact Asher was only a few steps behind us.
'He might be grumpy looking, but he is actually quite handsome.' Morgan mindlinked me with a wink, and I looked at her wide-eyed. 'You definitely need to try your luck with him, sis.' She added.
'You want pushing down the stairs?' I questioned, and I could hear my sister holding back a giggle as we rushed down the last few stairs.
"So, Beta, is my sister everything you imagined she would be?" Morgan asked, her eyes looking suggestively at Asher, and he looked awkwardly at her, like a deer caught in the headlights, bless him.
"I am sorry?" he stuttered.
“Well, she is a wonderful teacher, so I wondered if she was living up to your expectations." Morgan said with a smirk. “What on earth did you think I was implying?!"
I saw Asher's cheeks flushing slightly, and I tried not to smile.
'That is enough now.' I warned her, but she glanced at me, her eyebrows raised at me.
'He wants you,' she says simply through the link, before looking at Asher again.
"Do you have a bit of a soft spot for my sister Beta? Is that why your thoughts instantly assumed I was talking about that?" she wiggled her brows at him now before moving. toward the dining hall, leaving the two of us alone. Thankfully, had briefly mentioned where things were as we walked to my room last night, so she had a vague idea...
I glanced at Asher who was looking at me like he was in shock. "Sorry." I whispered.
"Well, your sister is..." he paused momentarily. "Blunt." He added, and I grinned at him.
"To say the least."
"Bloody good at reading people, I'd say.” he grinned at me now. "By the way, you look... well, wow." His hand softly reached for my curls, and I smiled up at him.
"Thank you."
"You know I barely slept last night, because you weren't there." He told me. "Two nights I have had you in the same bed, and I don't think I can sleep without you there now." He bit his lower lip as he looked up at me nervously, and my heart fluttered at his words. I know exactly what he meant...
Suddenly, Morgan came rushing down the corridor toward me looking terrified. Asher looked at me, jumping back slightly to put some space between us as I moved
earth is wrong?!" I asked, panic racing through me. Unsure what would be causing her to look so scared.
toward my sister. "Morgan,,?

Her eyes met mine, and I could see tears were filling them. "He... he..." she stuttered. "He is there."
I looked at her puzzled, as Asher came up to place his hand upon my arm, causing goosebumps to spread across my body. "Is everything okay?" he
asked, and I shrugged, confused as to what had happened. Surely he realized I knew as much as he did.
"Morgan, who is there?" I asked her, as I saw her swaying slightly, looking a little unsteady on her feet.
"My mate!" she gasped, before she suddenly passed out, Asher, quickly reaching out to catch her before she hit the floor.
