Asher takes me by the hand and begins to lead me towards the pack house, Cameron had waited behind for some pack members to retrieve the dead vampire. According to Asher, they will take the vampire in and run some tests on him. That way, they are able to find out who he was, in case he has some more significance to the vampires and run experiments. The more they know on how to defeat these vampires, the easier it will be for them and well me, when I need to go out there and start fighting.The pack house soon comes view, Becky waiting outside the front with her arms crossed. But once she saw me walking towards her, relief flashes her expression.“I wish you would stop doing this Liv, I don’t know if my nerves can take anymore close calls with you.” She says with a little smile walking down the steps, but I only smile thankful, I was able to get home safe.“I didn’t plan any of this, things just enjoy attacking me at random intervals of the day.” I joke as we come to a stop, but two pe
Asher strides into the pack house angrily, he had one thing on his mind and that was finding this worthless douche bag. First, he attempts to mark his mate when Asher’s back was turned but now, he has been helping the enemy all along and not only putting his pack members in danger, but also his mate once again.Cameron was close behind him looking around, they knew Spencer enjoyed talking amongst the pack members mostly in the pack house. Which is where he had probably gathered all of his information for Becky’s parents. Cameroon also felt proud of himself, he had finally stood up to Becky’s parents and showed them he isn’t one to pushed around anymore. All he needed to do was find Spencer, all of them can pay at the same time.Liv and Becky had gone back to Asher’s house, Becky was going to help Liv tend to her arm while the guys dealt with Spencer. They knew Spencer was more than likely going to put up a fight, both men wanting their mates out of the way for that.“Where is Spencer?
Becky was stood in the bathroom beside me whilst cleaning the many cuts on my arm, after we had left the guys, she hadn’t spoken much to me. I could see that she had many different emotions swirling around her head, not only due to her learning that her parents had been betraying the pack which she calls home. But also, she thought her brother had died a year ago only to learn, he was turned into a vampire the one I had to kill so he wouldn’t kill me.I was hoping she wouldn’t begin to resent me due to this, I had little to no choice to do what I did. If I would have allowed that man to do what he pleased, I wouldn’t be standing here right now.I look at her through them mirror as her eyes remained on my arm, I tried to read what her emotions were telling me, but I was at a loss. I sigh slightly taking a look down to the counter, I somehow had to break the ice.“I’m sorry.” Is all I say looking at her once again through the mirror, but she lifts up her head sending me a confused look.
The closer that we would walk towards the huge crowd of people, the darker the entire atmosphere which engulfed us felt. I tried to remain calm by slowing my breathing, but every time each pack member would look over at me worried, I would only panic that much more.I really hope they aren’t expecting me to stop this, I know Asher listened to me this first time, but there would be no way he’ll listen to me after the incredibly lengthy list of awful things that Spencer had done.More and more people begin to join the already, gigantic sea of people crowding around the stage like structure in front of us. Before we could become members of the group, three men in suits stand in front of me blocking me from being able to move.“Hello Luna, we need you to sign these documents before the execution.” One man which I soon realise was from that meeting I had with Asher says, but due to the situation we were standing in at the moment, it was getting a little overwhelming.“Documents for what?”
I remain with my head down slightly as the drums only got louder and in turn, much more intense than before. I begin to try and rack my brain in hopes of finding ways to ignore this, I knew even if I didn’t look at what was happening, I’m still going to hear it!Before I had time to fully think of my next moves, the drums quieten in a sense which was what caused me to look up. Asher was still stood in the middle of the stage, but off on the other set of wooden stairs, Spencer was being dragged on. When I saw him, I begin to feel immensely sorry for him, I know what he did was wrong and he deserves to have some kind of punishment, but maybe death is taking it a little too far.His feet and hands were in chains, his once smiled filled face was one of sadness and regret. His entire face littered in cuts, bruises, and dirt. My heart ached for him a sense, he only lifts his head up once where he and I locked eyes. Just from his eyes alone, I knew he didn’t mean for any of this to happen. A
After Spencer’s execution, the entire pack was dismissed and told to stay indoors so everything could be taken away, including Spencer. I saw Asher wanting to talk to me, but I had nothing to say, I felt numb from that entire experience and what Spencer had told me before he died.I also didn’t know what I could say to Asher, I knew he had done things such as that due to the stories I had been told and him being an Alpha. But I didn’t think I would one day have to witness that; it was as though he didn’t care about the life that was in front or him. He had so much to prove to the entire pack and vampires, it was all he could see.After returning home alone, I climb into bed and snuggle into the covers. I hoped I would be able to forget the screams from Spencer, but the more I would try, the louder his blood curdling scream filled my head. How has everyone switched back to their normal lives? Have they become numb to this kind of thing? But Becky told me that it hadn’t happened in a fe
Within an hour, Asher had gotten ready and started training me. If I thought yesterday was tiring, it was nothing compared to what he made me do today. But instead, I knew I had a job to do and kept my head in the game, this is all helping me in the long run, the more I keep training, the easier it’s going to get overtime. Even the run he made me to yesterday was somewhat easier, don’t get me wrong I did fall on the floor again exhausted afterwards.He was now getting the tools ready for me to learn combat; he told me I must have been great when I defeated that vampire, so he just wanted to see where I was. I was quick to tell him I winged it yesterday and actually, have no idea or experience being in a physical fight.While he sorted through the many items in the gym bags around him, I had time to pace a little looking at the sky above us. Due to summer coming to an end in a few weeks, the nights and early mornings have become colder in a sense. The deep breaths I would take in were
After even more hours of agonising training with Asher, the sun began to rise and he told me it was the end of training today but we definitely, will continue tomorrow so I can better my skills even more.Asher was nervous at first to act as though he was going to hit me, but I kept repeating that it was all to help me in the long run and if him hitting me stops a vampire from doing so, I will take it. I managed to dodge quite a few to my surprise, but there would be the odd hit to my side from Asher, where he would immediately, stop and check if I was okay.By the end, I was actually getting the hang of sensing when and where his next hit would come from. I was still lost after our training session before, the amount of strength not just physically, but mentally that I would need to be able to fight in this war seemed untouchable for me. But after today and the progress that I was able to make, I could see that if I keep on the same pace as I am now, I’ll be more than ready to fight
