*ASA TRINE*Before I could respond back I was suddenly strictly pulled back into a familiar touch as my face was pressed against a warm chest and hid away from everyone’s view.“Who the fuck are you?”In my protection and defence everyone rose at once in guard as they came to stand in front of me. Pushing to turn around as I tried to look at the others I saw my pregnant sister get off the couch and then waddle to come and stand in front of me too.This sight was comical to me and looking up at Cain to tell him to let me go I felt him being reluctant but then slowly free his arm around me to turn me around and face the new visitor we had.The man, now standing straight and tall was someone who looked older than all of us, maybe in his late twenties? I am not quite sure but he held a calmness that came with maturity and age as he fixed his gaze on me and then brought his attention to Leia where his eyes widened again very subtly but then a smile blossomed on his face.“I am so happy to
*CAIN ARIUS*“I am very sorry about my son,” Ross said as he bowed before us, worried about his old bones I was about to tell him to not worry about it when Asa immediately got up and placing a hand on his shoulder, she said, “Please Ross, you are someone very respected to us you don’t need to apologize to us about anything.”Joining Asa, Leia bunched her brows and said; “Besides he only helped Asa so we should instead be thanking him.”“Still it was rude of him to come in uninvited and without any former notice,” Ross said bending to apologize again but this time firmly holding onto him Asa brought him to the lone sofa chair and forced him to sit down.Seeing his father so tensed Devin got up this time and facing Asa he said, “I am sorry if I seemed rude in my actions before, it was no intention of mine to have hurt you two ladies in any matter.”His particular attention to the Trine sisters was bothering me but more so when I found him looking at Asa more than Leia.It seemed like s
*ASA TRINE*Somehow there has been an increase in a tension in the air than what it had been before. It almost felt suffocating to stay in the same room as Cain and Devin.“What is wrong with your man this time?” Leia asked as she looked at me watching the two of them running around as if competing to see who could fill the trunk of the car first.“He is jealous,” I drily replied back as I massaged my back that had taken the brunt of this situation all night long last night.“Even after that session that you both had in the wee hours of morning?” Leia asked giggling as she sat down on the step beside me making my eyes widen in embarrassment. Did she hear us?Hiding my face I looked away as I asked, “Were we too loud?”“No you weren’t but I was crossing from in front of your door last night and then I could hear it,” she continued to laugh at my expense and finally sorting her smile she said, “But still is Devin really the reason why Cain seems so on edge?”“It seems so,” I sighed m
*ASA TRINE*I wanted to play the music in the car to dissipate some of the anger that Cain was feeling but I had already tried to do that twice and each time he immediately shut off the radio. I was scared to try a third time in case he was to claw out the whole system in itself.I wanted to say something to him to get him to calm down but Devin wasn’t making it easy for me making me glare at him.The two seemed to be fighting even now as we were driving back to our pack. Looking out from my passenger’s side widow I saw Devin driving side by side on his motorcycle looking at me every few seconds in and then looking past me from the passenger’s seat to the driver’s seat to taunt Cain as he would give him a two finger salute and then rev up the engine speeding up ahead.Doing that again Devin took off ahead and even though I couldn’t see his face I had a feeling that he was smiling inside the dark helmet that he was wearing. I had thought of him to be a mature and older guy but he turne
*ASA TRINE*A thrill such as this I had never experienced before.My nerves were still crawling all over my body from the excitement and a never wavering happiness that came with every acceleration of his motorcycle.“Are you enjoying yourself?” Devin shouted his voice muffling from the helmet and the wind but thanks to my wolf ears I was able to catch it. Smiling in agreement as we zoomed past some more vehicles skillfully scoring the road in a patterned manner making me sway my body one side to the other as the beautiful slender machine guided me.“Yes!” I shouted back to let him know of my over crazed mind and free spirits that hadn’t felt this liberated in a long while. I was sure that Devin had been driving more than a lot over the speed limit but I could care less about that in this moment.‘Do you trust him that much?’ Xara’s voice echoed in my head making me feel slightly disoriented and surprised having heard her voice after a long time. Her question made me wonder if I actua
*ASA TRINE*If it was possible to see how angry a person was like in cartoons then Cain would have been sporting a bright red color with fumes coming out of his ears.It had been two hours since we had arrived back home and Devin had taken up all the attention of not only the Alpha and Luna but the other single ladies of the pack.We had been wanting to talk about Ephialtes for around an hour now but the women were clearly refusing to get away from the handsome blue eyed hunk who had been narrating them his stories that he had gathered up travelling all over the world in search of my father.That had been commendable dedication on his part and something that touched my heart to know that there were people who loved my dad so much but besides that I didn’t like the fact that his presence was affecting my mate so much.Alpha and Luna had also decided to lay off the topic of discussion for later since they believed we needed some rest before taking up more stress. They had good intention
*ASA TRINE* Alpha had been true in his words when he had said that he would send a troop of warriors that would be ready to help us but would stay hidden in the shadows until needed. That bit had scared me a little for their safety but on talking to them before I had left I realized that they didn’t really care whether anything happened to them as long they could somehow serve the pack and save it from the demon. They had been surprised and slightly unhinged at first but had taken an active support later on in doing anything to help their Alpha and pack loving and respecting them al equally. Such people were not many but a total of five. They were still reliable and the only source of any comfort to us then. “Are you sure we should take such a risk?” Cain asked frowning as he helped me set up our camp. We had come here a few hours early to the general preparations that Elder Morris had asked us to do so that the demon would get further weakened. This task was going to take some tim
*ASA TRINE* “Ready?” I asked looking at my mate and Devin who were standing close behind ready to help if I needed it. Giving me confirmation with a nod of each of their heads they all steeled themselves to see the demon that I had encountered before many a times. I just hoped that Ephialtes wouldn’t make them unconscious or worse get angry and harm them for their presence. I had briefed them of these risks but I still couldn’t be very sure about the demon’s mood and neither could they but even then they hadn’t once shown any sign of weakness or fright. If I do say so Cain for some scary reason looked quite excited to take down a demon. Although worried for my safety he was enthusiastic about having the prospective of helping in defeating demon. It being the first time he could ever do that. Looking up at the moonless sky I took a deep breath in and putting down the lamp that I had in my hand aside from the electric lamps that we had put around our tent to
