*ASA TRINE* A gentle feeing, warm and slightly annoying made me blink my eyes for a few seconds before I opened it. The rays of the sun were falling right on my face and trying to sit up to avoid having it tickle my skin anymore I find that I am unable to move my body. Realizing that a hand was gripping onto me I looked to my side to see Leia still sleeping as she had snuggled closer to me. Why was she in my b- Before I could even complete that thought the whole scenario of yesterday’s night came rushing to my head and tears instantly pricked my eyes. Why? Why did Clay had to go this far to fulfill his sick hatred and motives? “Asa? Asa!” Leia hurriedly got up as she pulled my face to look at her and then grabbing it between both palms, she said, “Breathe, okay? Try and breathe. You are safe, I am here for you.” It was only after she pointed out did, I realize that my chest had been clogged up with unfiltered air that had been finding it difficult to leave my body as I hyperv
*ASA TRINE* A gasp resonated out of my lips as soon as I opened the room to the cabin where Clay had been admitted in. His body had been covered by a blanket but the part which had been left uncovered was painted in white. He had been covered in bandages completely except for the expanse of his face that had been giving color to the white canvas of his body. It had purple and bluish bruises with red gauzes and stich lines creating it into a gruesome masterpiece but the main attraction was the stamp of a black burned cross on his forehead. “Can you not look this happy?” Clay disgruntled as his eyes glowered at me. They had been opened in mere slits by the swelling that surrounded them. Realizing that a smile had been gracing my face I tried suppressing it but hearing my mate scoff from behind me as he placed a hand on my waist, I again felt a bigger smile take over my features. I had been scared for nothing. The monster, just the thought of whom made my frightful heart beat wildly
*ASA TRINE* “Where is Cain?” Luna Catherine asked once she saw me entering her library alone. Her soft voice startled me and looking at her with a disgruntled expression I waited for her to repeat her words. At my lack of an answer, she furrowed her brows and the smile left her face as she asked, “Please don’t tell me that what happened yesterday has hampered your relationship with Cain! I promise you, Asa, that Clay has received his punishment so please don’t blame my one son for the mistake of the other.” In this moment for the first time in my life Luna didn’t seem to be like a leader talking to her subordinate but like a mother worrying about her children. It was weird and shaking my head to rid her off her worries I lied, “No, it is nothing like that, Cain just got caught up with some work.” She seemed unconvinced but sighing she patted the seat next to her on the cozy looking sofa that she had been seated on. I hesitated for a second but lowering myself on the spot directed b
*ASA TRINE* As soon as I heard his words, I became aware of my condition and I felt my body burn as blood rushed to the pit of my stomach. Why did I have to have my heat now of all times! Another surge of heat stronger than the one before made my knees buckle from a force unknown to anything that I had ever felt before. It automatically made me lean further into his body and the warmth of his lean muscles provided me with a sense of calm instead of heating me up more. I didn’t want to stay in his arms but this was the only place that I wanted to be in. “Asa,” Cain panted his grip tightening and his eyes flitting from between deep dark black to his bright worried golden. Moving me away an arm’s length he helped me stay up and then pleaded, “I need you, Asa. I won’t be able to control myself for very long.” Inside me I felt Xara growl at me as well, as she pushed me to tear apart Cain’s clothes and take him as his. But how could I give my body to a person who supposedly betrayed me
*ASA TRINE* “I had been trying to control myself for your sake but fuck how dare you say that to your own mate!” Rather than saying anything back in response I quirked an eyebrow at him and growling lowly at me in warning he devoured my lips and to my surprise suddenly bit me making me moan as a shiny bead of blood appeared on my punctured lips. It slipped down over the edge and I watched his eyes follow it with carnal desire. His parted lips, the wispy breaths leaving them and his messy hair made him look like a sexy god and licking the blood I again kissed him as I felt him slip his hands down my panties to find the moisture gathered there. I was drenched. His lips slanted up at the visible embarrassment in my eyes as I tried to hide the awareness of the situation. I might have been acting bold a second ago but now that his eyes had regained the wildness, I found myself turning timid in comparison. His curious finger stroked my wetness gently, making me crave to feel a greater p
*ASA TRINE* Clay had been taken away. After I had come out of the room the next day, I had asked about his whereabouts but no one knew anything or was willing to say anything about him. Even the Luna would evade my questions and every time I mentioned him, I could feel Cain tense up and stare at me as if trying to figure out whether there was something more to my worries. Aside from the slight insecurity of his, he had been treating me really well. It was to such an extent that even Leia had given her permission for me to go around with him freely without her constant supervision. “Here, your strawberry ice cream.” I felt something cold touch the side of my cheek making me shiver and Cain’s smiling face soon came in my view from behind me as he placed the bowl in front of me. We had just returned back from our daily run and was now enjoying ice cream, like we religiously had been doing for the last one week and thanking him for the sweet delight I puckered my lips for a kiss. “A
*ASA TRINE* It was the first time I had been completely brought to the limelight and I don’t think I appreciated the attention as much as I thought I would. My lips were constantly aching from the fake smiles that I had consistently put on for the whole crowd to see. While living in the shadows I never once had to worry about these kinds of things. My ‘star’ sister would handle everything but today I was the star and I hated having to put so much energy into burning this bright. I am sure I looked nothing but like a flickering candle. But this position also gave me some power, people didn’t dare insult me directly. “It’s so nice to meet you again Asa, you remember we went to the same school? I always wanted to come and say Hi to you then but I couldn’t because you usually stayed all alone by yourself,” An annoying face that was one of the ‘populars’ in high school greeted me and I noticed how she underhandedly tried to make people aware of my standing in the school as a loner and
*ASA TRINE* A pinch and an embarrassing smile later Sofia took a step forward and said, “Pardon my mate, we just got to know each other so he confused my name with the Trines as I had just been telling him about my relationship to them but I am Sofia Ignis, Michael Ignis, your Beta’s sister.” She had started off awkwardly due to the mistake that Clay had made with her name but by the end I could tell that she was proud. I don’t know how she was cool when her ‘mate’ had done such a blunder with the very introduction of the person he had been attached to but because of the consistent smile on her face it was bearable to face that second hand embarrassment on her part. Was he mocking me when he took my surname instead of hers? But didn’t that insult his mate that he supposedly loved so much? There was a slight look of confusion gracing Clay’s face as he listened to his mate talk to people who had disregarded his previous mistake and were now congratulating her. It was the power of th
