*CAIN ARIUS*“What do you think you are doing? This is wrong you know? You can’t just force me to do something,” she shouted looking at me incredulously as I shut the door behind us.Pinning her with a glare I shouted back at her in a voice louder than hers to make her shut up as I said, “No, what you are doing to me is the wrong thing, Asa! Did you really think I would be alright with seeing you happily flirting with Clay in front of my eyes?”I could feel Dion pushing in my head to let him out but I controlled him for the time being. I wanted to have a talk with her I didn’t want to scare her away like the previous times when I was dealing with her with my insecurities and jealousy reigning over me.“I did no such thing,” she again denied like she had back home and I couldn’t believe how insufferable her attitude had become to take me as an idiot who would trust her again and again. What trust? I don’t even know the meaning of that word.‘Let me talk to mate! Let me show her that s
*CAIN ARIUS*“Save me, Clay.”That was the first thing she said with dread-filled in her voice as if she had just escaped from a villainous figure that was after her life.“What’s wrong?” Clay asked worriedly bunching her in his arms as she sniffled and cried there looking at me with accusation gleaming in her bright emerald eyes.No, don’t look at me like that! I didn’t do anything to you!I wanted to shout at her that she didn’t get to play the victim when I had equally suffered because of her but hiding her face in his chest Clay comforted her by rubbing her back as he whispered warm assurance to her.“You don’t need to be scared anymore, my dear Asa, I am here for you. Please don’t cry,” he said as he passed me a glare while patting her head with his other hand that had her wrapped in his hold.“Take me away from here, please. I can’t stay here any longer,” she said and in a swift motion and a passing smile, Clay pulled her out of my room and towards his.I was stunned for a secon
*ASA TRINE*“Who do you love, Asa?” he asked again as if to taunt Cain more and without any control, over my body, I turned around to hug him as I replied in a bright and happy tone, “You, Clay. I love you!”I felt happy hugging him but at the same time, there was something wrong with this situation. I couldn’t pinpoint what it was exactly but a gasp that resonated at my words made my heart constrict painfully. My nails dug into Clay’s back as I continued to hug him and looking down at me with a fond smile he said, “You know you make me the happiest man alive by saying that. I love you too, my mate.”‘No!’ There was agony in that voice that cried inside me and it shook my body from within as my head panged at the roaring voice echoing in the depths of every crevice of my brain.‘Asa, don’t do this to Cain, he is our mate!’Pulling away from me Clay looked at my lips with a fond smile and then turning me around he said, “Look at him, Asa. He is such a loser, begging at my feet to get
*ASA TRINE*Breaking away from the kiss I felt air fill my lungs again as I heaved out a heavy breath and smiled with fresh tears in my eyes as I realized that Clay had given up on me.I was free.“Asa?” Cain’s voice trembled as he waited for me to gather myself while a hint of disbelief still affected the warmness that it should have held.“Have you really come back to me Asa?” he asked again and fixing my green eyes on his beautiful golden orbs that had been distinctively displaying the cracked pieces of his broken heart I nodded my head and kissed him again to assure him.He sucked in a fluttering breath, trying to control his tears from sprouting out again and chuckling myself to stop me from crying as the tears slipped past my lid I said, “I am back Cain. I am only yours. I only love you, my mate.”“Say it again,” he said, his voice on the verge of begging as he let me wipe his tears away but not once did he close his eyes.“I love you, Cain,” I said my voice firmer to make him b
*ASA TRINE*Everything was not alright.I can’t believe how stupid I was.Fuck!“Will you stop feeling guilty for him? He deserved every bit of what is happening to him,” Cain grumbled from beside me as the two of us walked down the familiar hospital corridors and to the private cabin.My eyes fell on Sofia’s body first but she was not who I had come to meet today and shifting it to the bed beside her I noticed Clay’s sleeping body resting there with a tired and withered look on his face. Clay had slipped into a vegetative state or unconsciousness just like Sofia.Unlike Sofia, he looked like he was in a worse situation with a face as pale as paper and just as thin for the nerves below his skin to be visible to me. “Asa!” I heard my name being shouted even before the door had opened and bracing myself for another terrorizing news I looked towards the door to see Luna bursting in through them. She looked fervent in her movements as she clambered inside. Her frantic blue eyes seeming
*ASA TRINE*“Are you serious? Asa? Why are you doing this?” Cain fretted as he walked behind me but I didn’t even spare him a glance knowing well enough that all my words and sentiments will be wasted on him. At my silence, I heard him let out a frustrated sigh and without saying anything else he broodingly followed me to the Alpha’s office. There I noticed Michael and Leia already talking to Alpha about something in hushed voices that I was respectful to not eavesdrop on. The atmosphere was tense in the room and I could tell it was related to me when everyone stopped all talking at once on my arrival.“Good morning everyone,” I greeted them with a smile, and by the looks of sympathy and hesitance that they had been garnering on their faces I could tell that they hadn’t forgotten my episode of ugly crying in the hospital yesterday.“Asa, you don’t have to force yourself to look alright,” Leia said as she stepped forward towards me and halting her with a determined smile on my face I
*CAIN ARIUS* The sky outside was still slightly blue as stars twinkled in the seeping darkness. It was a calm evening with only my mate’s soft breathing and strong heartbeat creating a hypnotizing and peaceful rhythm that was again lulling me to sleep.Coming back from dad’s office I had forced her to go to sleep despite her claiming that she wasn’t tired only for her to fall asleep within a second. Moving her from under my head where she was sleeping on my arm and tickling me with her breath on my neck, I looked at her face to see her peacefully sleeping with her mouth slightly parted.Her face that had looked tired before had become slightly puffier from her long and weary sleep making her look cuter than what she usually looked. Her cheeks were slightly flushed making me want to pinch them. She looked quite adorable like this and I wondered why she couldn’t stay like this when she was awake. Why did she and I have to have such dissimilar thoughts?Suddenly she whimpered beneath me
*ASA TRINE*“What are you doing here?” Ethan’s voice almost made my heart beat right out of my chest at the suddenness of it.Turning around to look at him I noticed that he was alone and squeezing my brows at him I asked, “How did you recognize me?”Giving me a ‘duh’ expression I realized how dumb that question was coming from a werewolf and clicking his tongue he said, “Please tell me you really didn’t think that a scarf wrapped around your head and sunglasses would be enough to conceal your identity as ‘Asa’?”Usually, he would play along and joke but this time he sounded kind of mad, and realizing that he must have still been angry with me I sighed, “No, I didn’t, and are you both still angry with me?”At my words, he gave me a look of disbelief and said, “Well how could you tell her and not me that all this had been happening with you? I thought you liked me more than Kate!”He was hurt I could see that and rolling my eyes at his obvious dramatics I apologized, “It’s been only th
