*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
*ASA TRINE* How did he know?Was he already aware of the weapon?‘He must have been, you can’t underestimate him,’ Xara muttered in my head, standing on alert ready to be of use whenever needed.Breaking through the surface of water the five again tried to swim to the shore but like every effort they had made before they were once again been sent into the depths of the water. At this rate they would soon get tired and then lose their strength to even try to come up automatically resulting in death.His knowledge of the dagger had shaken me a little and it had left me with no footing to base my next attack on him.“Ephialtes, this has always supposed to be a one on one fight,” I said staring at the mass of blackness that was gurgling and rising with the fear that the poor wolves emanated, “Let them go!”“You shouldn’t have brought them with you to begin with,” he said pausing a second to let them breathe as the huffed and coughed at the water that must have entered into their lungs.
*ASA TRINE* Letting out a sudden exasperated roar Ephialtes sent me flying back against the ground making my skin chafe against the harsh ground. I hadn’t been prepared for this as I quickly gathered myself up and watched him huff and immediately glide to where I was taking hold of me as he raised me up in the sky far away from his head but tight in his grasp.The dagger that was in my hand was jabbing in my skin because of the tightness of his hold and with a scream I had to let it go at last when I felt my hand spit open as blood dripped from my hand from where the blade had pierced into my skin.“You really think you can defeat me? You tiny werewolves? What do you consider yourselves?” he shouted in my face his eyes as close to me as it could be as he swishes me away from the dagger that glinted in the light.“Let go of her!” Cain shouted coming to help me but he stopped at once when Ephialtes suddenly raised me upside down and squeezing me tighter almost forcing me to
