Chapter 4 CAUGHT RED HANDED

"Your hair is.....

"I can explain " Snow half yelled and he furrowed a brow confused at her words. His gaze on hair and he smiled.

"You have a lot of explaining to do" Asher reprimanded and Snow swallowed a huge lump.

*AT HOME*

Snow smiled nervously, her parents gaze on her and Asher hands in his pocket, his intense gaze on her.

She held tightly onto her dress, sucking her bottom lip and no words escaping her lip. She could feel the sweat oozing out frightfully and she chuckled lowly.

"Why is your hai....

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hid this from you guys, but I was afraid you wouldn't want me anymore, you have always been there for me and I thought you all would lea..."

"Leave you? What is this about dear" Ava asked and Snow lip opened wide, a word not escaping her lip and she averted her gaze to Asher.

"You said my hair was..."

"Yeah, it looked way dry and wet, that's why I said so? Was there anything wrong with it?" He asked and Snow chuckled nervously.

"Oh" she muttered, for a second she thought he caught her, she was happy they didn't find out in such a way, she wanted to tell them at her own pace and time. But she surely was sure it is not going to be anytime sooner.

Her parents exchanged confused glance "Why were you panicking?" Flinch asked and Snow froze.

"Huh, about that...act..actually....I..I..dyed my hair during school hours" she blurted out and flashed a smile.

"O..okay? If you say so" Ava replied and stood up heading to the kitchen but paused on her step.

"Common go wash up, dinner will be ready soon" she said and Snow smiled.

She really enjoyed having a family around, especially one that cared for her and would protect her no matter what, people who could make her escape her horrible treatment.

She carried her backpack and ran to the stairs in joy, rushing to her room and gently shutting the door.

Flinch and Asher exchange knowing glances and Asher heads to her room.

The knock gentle on her door, and Snow soft voice "come in" . Asher walked into her room, the pinkish blue brightness blinding him temporarily and he frowned.

A photo of the pack, Moon silver pack on her wall, the lamp of course pink and switched on, the perfume swinging round the room, everything itself screamed girly.

Snow was dressed in her mini blue shorts, matched with her v-shaped T-shirt, and fluffy bunny slippers, also wearing a bunny hat.

"Do I look cute?" She asked, flickering her eyelashes seductively and a smile on her cute face.

Her doe eyes, pointed nose, pinkish, her hair shoulder- lengthened and and her skin glowing gloriously.

The fair skin radiating a healthy girl but with a touch of uneasy and darkened skin, surely she wasn't alright.

"Your skin tone looks darkened a bit" he said and Snow froze, she knew he had caught through her smile and look, but she was going to lie anyway.

"Really? But I take care of my skin alot" she muttered and Asher frowned. He approached her and pinched her cheek softly. "You want to keep lying?" He asked and Snow heaved a sigh.

"But I am not" she blurted out and he chuckled, sitting on her fluffy bed.

His gaze landed on the wound mark on her neck and his eyes darkened.

"Did Logan bully you again" he asked, his tone icy and cold penetrating Snow heart like daggers.

She panicked inside, if he tried to fight for her then he would badly get injured, Logan was an alpha son, and the bloodline power was surely in his vein, the last thing she would want is him getting injured for her.

"No" she said, and sat down beside him, her hand gently reaching for his palm.

"Actually the Alpha son can't do such, afterall he needs to be good to his people" She coaxed and Asher frowned.

The more she supported and lied for that brat, the more he wanted to punch the Alpha's son. A flashed a smile, he was going to play with her trick.

He gently patted her hair and she hugged him "I couldn't ask the universe for more, when I have you, mum, and dad" She said and smiled.

He hugged her tightly, although she wasn't his biological sister, he saw her as one and hoped she would always choose them over others.

He tucked her hair behind her ear, and Snow placed her hands on his chest, she could hear his beating heart, they were slow and steady.

"Your heartbeat is so cool and gentle" she muttered in admiration, hers were always full of fright and beat so fast especially when she sights Logan.

He fears and gives her mixed feelings too, a smile curving it way to Asher lip and he wraps his hand round her.

"Snow, promise me one thing" He asked and Snow hummed "What" she asked.

"Promise me, no matter what situation, you will always choose us, mum, dad and I" He said, his tone slightly astray and sad.

"Why are you asking, I'll always choose you guys" She said I'm a positive tone, and Asher held her soft feminine hand.

He kissed her hair gently, "Asher, Snow, dinner's ready" Ava yelled.

"Let's go" he said and carried Snow in princess style, "what are you doing, let go" she yelled cheerfully and he laughed.

Taking her downstairs and Snow angry at his actions, her cheeks reddish in embarrassment.

"Common eat" Ava said with a smile on Snow digging in, eating gracefully.

Ava, Asher and Flinch exchanging looks, oblivious to Snow.

Mind linking to each other.
