*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
*ASA TRINE*“You are grinning again? Seriously, did you hit your head somewhere?” Kate asked as she stared at me from behind the counter. She was managing the registry of her Dad’s boutique today and I had dropped by to buy a few things.Seeing my reflection in the mirror behind her I immediately wiped off my smile and clearing my throat I said, “No, just remembered a funny joke.”She didn’t seem to believe me but since she was swamped with work today she didn’t bother with me and went back to her work.In all honesty this smile hadn’t been off my face since last night. If I had known that angry Cain would be so hot in bed then I would have to try and get on his nerves every once in a while.‘That’s not what you should be thinking about,’ my wolf scolded me worried that our mate was still stressed with the Clay situation and sighing as she reminded me of that bastard I pouted grumbling to myself, “Did you have to remind me?”“Of what?” Kate asked with furrowed brows, staring at me, pr
*ASA TRINE*“So you mean to say that Clay had been found yesterday itself?” Michael asked looking up at me from where he had his head between his hands.“And he harassed you in a similar way yesterday as well?” Leia shouted glaring at me with her eyes that were similar to mine. I could understand why she was worried but why didn’t they understand that Cain had been with me then!“Nothing happened to me because Cain was there with me but for some reason Clay considers me his mate again,” I said bringing them on the matter that was important here.“That scumbag! Didn’t he feel satisfied with ruining one of my sister’s lives that he is after the other as well?” Michael shouted banging his fist against the table loudly as he glared ahead at the door.We were currently all sitting in the Beta office and Michael had significantly calmed down a lot by now. I was about to tell him something when I heard thudding footsteps coming towards us and when the door opened I saw the angry but handso
*ASA TRINE*I don’t know why but tears started slipping out of my eyes.The path before me looked blurry and Cain held me to his side guiding me through the heavy scent of disinfectants and medicine.“Where is he?” Luna demanded as I saw her blurry figure leading us ahead.‘Are you alright?’ Cain’s voice resounded in my head making me look at him. His handsome face was a hazy mess but his golden eyes were so sharp that I could make out the worry in them even through my clouded eyes.‘I am alright,’ I said wiping my tears with my palms but it was unknown to me why had the news been affecting me so much.I didn’t even want to cry and yet I couldn’t help but feel my heart beating loudly as if any second now it would escape out of the confines of my chest and run across the corridor to find ‘him’.But why was it so unsettled for him?Why was my heart in such agony for Clay?‘Xara what’s wrong with us?’ I asked her in my mind but my wolf refused to answer me as she cowered in a corner in m
*ASA TRINE*“Asa?”I stopped at once turning around to greet him.“Good morning,” I said as I watched him step down the stairs that led up to our bedroom.His brown hair was messy as he scratched his head while stretching out his other hand above him, almost touching the ceiling he displayed his perfect mouth-watering abs to me. His bare skin had some sleep marks on his body and when he yawned he looked a dangerous mixture of adorable and sexy.“Good morning,” he replied, now standing on the bottom step and rubbing his eyes he looked me up and down as he asked, “Where are you going this early?” It had barely even been six in the morning yet so I could understand his concern but subtly ignoring his question I put on a sad expression as I said, “I am sorry did I wake you up? It’s still too early to be awake you should go back to sleep before you completely wake up.”Shaking his head at my words he covered the distance between us and holding me by my arms he said, “I woke up because the
