*ASA TRINE*Awe stricken faces and mesmerized eyes reflected the gem that was held for them to see.Placing it on the decorated table that was made as a small altar to put the lighted candles on, Alpha then turned to face the crowd and greeting he said, “Thank you everyone for assembling here for this praying ceremony.”The crowd immediately quieted on listening to their leader’s words and continuing with a smile Alpha said, “We are the children of Moon Goddess and to show her our gratitude for loving us and protecting us we have gathered here together to pray to her for our good health, prosperity and her constant blessing.”I had been so drawn in by the magnificence with which he had the crowd hushed that it took me a second to realize that Cain had been holding out a candle for me to take. Looking around I noticed that the others all had one in their hands as well and holding the stand tightly in my hands I silently thanked Cain.Luna brought forward two candles, holding one in eac
*ASA TRINE*It was unfair of me to take advantage like this but it was not every day that people could witness the gentle side of Cain and it would be the perfect opportunity to change their perception of him.Rubbing at my own eyes to rid them of any lingering tears I smiled at him and nodding I said, “Yes, I would really love that.”“I am sorry I don’t understand what it is like to lose your parents at such a young age but you can talk to me about it and I will try to help you feel better however I can,” he added as he guided me towards the bonfire where the people were dancing.Like I said before, I had lost my parents at a very young age so I had enough time to cope with their loss. It was obvious that one could never very well get over it. Even then, these past few years and the small family that I had found in Leia and Michael had been enough to keep me happy and sane.It was sweet of him to say that and squeezing his hand to let him know that I was grateful I stood by him as we
*UNKNOWN POV*The woman was scared as she could feel her eyes droop as the alcohol and tiredness manipulated her body to stay in bed. The comforter felt soft under her but it was a shame that she couldn’t enjoy it.Slow and steady breathing finally echoed the room from beside her and sighing she gently picked her head up from her mate’s arm as she stared at his face. He was asleep, at last.Sitting up properly on her bed she heard it creak but with the amount of alcohol her mate had consumed in the ceremony today there was no chance that he would wake up or at least she hoped he wouldn’t.Sighing she stared at his face that was sleeping peacefully without a care in this world. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen and she was happy that he was his.The night air that entered through the open window was cool and the light from the full moon casted on his face left her wishing to curl up in his arms and sleep.No, get a grip you can’t give in to the temptation!She thought as s
*ASA TRINE*I was woken up by a hand caressing my skin. The fingers seemed to be searching for something and still in my drowsy state I shuddered as it grazed the underside of my boob. The hand stopped, then retracing its steps suddenly grabbed hold of my boob completely in its palm and squeezed it.A moan escaped me as my eyes fluttered open. I had barely slept properly last night as I was being ‘punished’ by my mate and I had a half mind to be waking up just yet.“Cain,” I moaned out, reprimanding him when I felt him continue to play with my breast and when he squeezed my nipples I gasped and was about to bring my hand up to remove his, I found that I couldn’t move them.My hands had been taken captive in his other hand and shaking the sleep away from my mind I groaned, “Let me go, Cain.”I couldn’t see his face as my back had been facing him but I was aware of his wakefulness and that wasn’t just because of his actions but because of his member down below that he now thrust between
*ASA TRINE* For the first time I felt scared to look at one of these mystery patients. It wasn’t just any patient now it had hit closer to home. She was Michael’s sister and at some points in my life a friend to me. I might not like her as much now but she didn’t deserve this.“Cain! Asa! Thank goddess you two are here. I don’t know how it happened- Sofia is,” Mom was really worried that she could barely say out her sentences properly. Dad immediately held her in his arms and nodding at us to step into the closed room outside which they had been standing he moved to take her away.Inside I found Leia consoling Michael who was aimlessly stood in the corner staring at his sister. His face was marred with stress lines as he stood with the help of his mate.The room itself had been wrecked completely but not paying attention to that for now I gazed at Sofia’s pale face with her eyes shut like she had been sleeping. Every patient that had extracted this strange disease slipped into coma f
*ASA TRINE* The shock of the sudden hug and the words spoken by him had taken me by surprise.Did something happen to him for him to be acting this way?There was an emergence in his voice that startled me and the relief that rang with it made me believe that he must have been emotionally shook to be behaving in such a manner.‘He just realized that his mate might not wake up ever again, he is bound to feel sad and lost,’ my wolf commented and taking that thought into consideration I slowly brought my hand up to pat his back. I might have hated this guy but if this was how much pain he felt for Sofia then even I felt my heart move for the two of them.Feeling my hand comforting him he hugged me tighter, making me uncomfortable and just when I was about to reprimand him I heard him sniffling as he placed his head on my shoulder.He was crying?The greatest jerk in the world, Clay Arius was crying?Realizing that he might have been affected more than I had thought I bit my tongue to s
*CAIN ARIUS* There must be something!Looking through the thick log book I sighed when I had not met anything unnatural even after all this while. As far as I knew there weren’t anyone in our pack who would be courageous enough to even try and hurt the Beta’s sister and Clay’s mate, therefore my suspicions were on an outsider but till now I had not come against anyone outside of our pack that was present in the prayer ceremony yesterday.Suddenly I felt some tension pass through our mate bond alerting me of Asa being in some kind of stress. It was only a small shock but it worried me.Did something happen to her?I was trying to mind link her when I felt a nudge in my head and guessing it to be from her I immediately accepted it.‘Sir, we didn’t find anything suspicious in the ceremony grounds,’ The warrior who I had elected for this task told me and gripping the shiny pen stand in my hand I cut the call without a word angry at another dead end.Who was this asshole behind such a wi
*ASA TRINE*What the fuck is he saying?I had wanted to inform Cain first and foremost about this situation myself so that he wouldn’t be shocked and worried like he must be now. But with Clay coming here and spouting out his nonsense he has made it more difficult for me to even handle this situation.“Why are you still standing near him Asa? Why aren’t you telling him to move away from you?” he said in such a languid and confused manner that it seemed like Cain had been in the wrong here and not him. Also why the heck is he trying to pin all of this on me?“Why would she say anything? She is my mate!” Cain shouted at him pulling me away from him and motioned me to stay back as he faced his brother.“That’s obviously because she is my ma-”Clay had barely gotten the word ‘mate’ out of his mouth when in an instant Cain came in front of him and landing a punch straight to his gut he made Clay go flying back a few meters and into some wild bushes.While I was coming back to the Pack hous
