Author's POV
Asher really wanted to say what he had in his min… But then his gaze fell on Seraphina. She stood frozen, her hands trembling and her head shaking slightly. Don't, her eyes pleaded. Don't fight here. Don't lose yourself for me.
Asher swallowed his anger, clenching his jaw tight. He closed his eyes for a moment, dragging in a deep breath, forcing the fire in his chest to settle. When he opened them again, his gaze flicked to Melissa, who was trembling where she stood, her face looked pale despite the smile she tried to put for the people.
"Did you even ask the girls before announcing this?" Asher's asked in a calm and steady tone as he didn't want to scare Sera. "I'm sure Sera doesn't want what you're trying to force on her."
