*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
*ASA TRINE*“Are you ready?” Luna asked looking at me as we stood outside Clay’s room. She looked a jittery mess of happy, sad, nervous and apologetic. Her expression and dark circles were concerning but right now I was only just mad at her for making me do something against my wish.She was mostly using my love and kindness by ignoring my feelings and yet I couldn’t even blame her for it.If she had to choose between her child’s life and my inconvenience the answer was a given to lean towards Clay.I didn’t say anything in response and opening the door she smiled as she faced her son who had been sitting on the bed looking down. He must have sensed my presence at once because quickly looking up at me his eyes widened.“You came,” he whispered in disbelief as he stared at me with his wide blue eyes that had taken on a lighter shade and scrambling to get out of his bed he hysterically rejoiced, “You came!”“Clay, please stay where you are,” Luna scolded and pleaded with him, making him
*ASA TRINE*“How are you feeling today, sir?”The nurse asked as she closed the door behind her. She had a cart full of medicines that she was probably rolling around to give to all the patients and stopping by Clay’s table she placed a small dish of few tablets and poured out a glass of water for him.I am sure she recognized who she was catering to and the smile that glittered on her face was the perfect evidence for that.Clay hadn’t bothered to even give her a glance unlike how he usually would have acted. The charm and charisma that he flattered the women around him with was completely absent.This didn’t seem to bother the nurse and neither did she notice it much as she tugged on her dress to emphasize her chest. She then bent down to bring her face in level with his, giving him, and disgustingly me, a magnificent view of her plump chest. “It’s time for your medicines, sir,” she said, her voice coming out sultry and rolling my eyes I tried to decide whether I should stop her fr
*ASA TRINE*“It’s time for your medicines, sir.”The nurse that greeted us the next morning was a male nurse who smiled at the two of us, placed the medicine on the side table and instructing me to feed it to Clay then walked out of the door without so much as a retreating glance.“Seems like you don’t have to worry about those women anymore,” I commented in a hopeful manner as I went to hand him the medicines.“Are you trying to get rid of me?” he asked, pouting uncharacteristically and looking away at the unnatural expression I shook my head to get rid of its image in my head. I really did wish that he would stop calling me now if those ladies weren’t coming to irritate him.“Hey, stop making that face!”I said, still not get used to these gentle and playful expressions that he sent my way after all the glares and scorns. I had obviously seen it on his face before but he had never once looked at me that way and each time he did now, I felt my judgment against him crumbling.Has he r
