Before the guards found Aspen, she had dried her tears, and Lance reluctantly left her side to avoid being linked to her brief escape. Thankfully, he also took the weapon she was going to use on Kailin with him. Otherwise, the guards would have found a reason to throw her into the rumoured Cell of Terror, where a deadly Spirit wolf is kept and used to mess with the mind of any prisoner unfortunate to be tossed in that jail.

“If we find out that there is foul play somewhere,” the Chief guard glared at Aspen when they failed to find anything incriminating on her, “be prepared to pay dearly.”

Aspen had no strength to react, so she sighed while the guards clasped her hands, cuffed her and mercilessly dragged her back to the cell.

When she was finally settled in the dark cell, which felt a bit damp, Aspen sat still and searched for sleep, which she believed would be the best solution to the heaviness in her heart.

But the moment she closed her eyes, she sensed that someone was in the room

    ASPEN VESPER“.... is Ashtor.”“Ashtor?”Kailin queried with a raised brow while Aspen released an inconspicuous sigh. “Who the heck is Ashtor?”“You don’t know the name of your guard?” Lance asked.“What do you mean by that?” Kailin glanced at the men behind him. “Are you insinuating that one of my guards is responsible for stabbing Aspen?”“That’s exactly what I am saying.” Lance smiled and stared at someone behind Kailin. “Ashtor, you can come out now. It is over.”The man who had helped Aspen after she stabbed herself surprisingly stepped out. His head was ducked, and Aspen became certain that Lance knew something about her plan with Kailin. Either that or Lance found good dirt on Ashtor and asked him to take the fall.“Uhm, Lycan Kailin,” the guard started to say, “I, uh, did it. I stabbed Miss Aspen.”“Under whose orders?” Kailin asked, his eyes hardened.“I can’t say.”“You are willing to go to jail for the person that ordered you to stab Aspen, Guard Ashtor?”“I am. I will main

    ASPEN VESPERThe next day came faster than expected and while Aspen expected it to be a normal day, the moment the door knob of the hospital rattled violently, it became clear that the day was off to a crazy start.Ezra, who seemed to have never gone to sleep again, got up, rushed to the entrance and opened the door. Alpha Lance rushed into the room, a bright smile on his lips.“Alpha Lance?” Ezra queried the man’s weird entrance.“I did it,” he excitedly said after many seconds had passed. “I found the culprit.”Ezra and Aspen looked at each other.“You did?” Aspen didn’t expect her fears about their plan to come to pass so soon. “Who… Who is the culprit?”Alpha Lance smiled. “Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon. The moment Lycan Kailin storms this place with the hope of getting rid of me, I’ll crush his plans faster than he can imagi

    ASPEN VESPERAspen stirred out of her deep sleep, she felt more energised than before and felt like she could do something worthwhile without getting tired.But what could she do? She wondered as she looked around the hospital room. She saw that Ezra was asleep, so her options were instantly limited. The man needed some precious sleep too.Since the windows to her left were not blinded, Aspen proceeded to stare at the beauty of the night from her bed. She remained that way for many minutes until a soft knock from outside pulled her attention.At first, Aspen chose to ignore the knock especially since there was a need to be extra careful. But when the knock came again, she was compelled to get off the bed and check who was at the door.It was Kailin.Gently, Aspen opened the door and whispered, “Do you need something?”“Uh, not really. I waited to check if you were asleep, but the door was locked. Why was it locked? D

    ASPEN VESPER“Alpha Lance.” Ezra distanced himself from Aspen after his eyes briefly met hers. “Is something wrong?”“What were you two discussing?” The man’s gaze was hard, almost as though he was getting ready to tear someone apart.Aspen sprang into action. She grabbed the discovered wiretaps and displayed it in front of the man. “We found these. I think whoever tried to kill me is monitoring us keenly. They are not giving us a break.”“Yes. Thankfully, I was here. We detected it in time,” Ezra quickly supported her excuse.Alpha Lance relaxed his tense stance. After wiping off the beads of sweat on his forehead, he moved closer and said, “It must be Lycan Kailin that’s doing all this.”“I’ll search for evidence, Alpha Lance,” Ezra said.“Yes, please do that. Also, have you gotten the new meeting location of our enemies?”“Yes, I have. I was about to deliver that message when you called me to come to the hospital.” Ezra’s sharp responses encouraged Aspen to think that the man was t

    ASPEN VESPERDespite having heard a huge part of the truth from Kailin, hearing Ezra acknowledge that he and Lance had been deceitful from the start made her heart break into a thousand more pieces.“Why?” Aspen breathed hard, her head ducked as though hiding her shame from unseen souls that found her pitiful. “Why did you two cook up elaborate lies, and why did you string me along as if I asked for it?”“We were merely doing all we could to make The Nyx Pack ours, Aspen. When your family wished to get rid of you, they approached Alpha Lance-”“So, he is the mafia lord I was sold to?”“Well,” Ezra shrugged with a little sprinkle of nonchalance in his voice, “that was just an identity he loved to role-play from time to time. The things he does as a mafia lord are linked to the missions we carry out in The Rebel Pack."“He could have shifted into another man while role-pla

    ASPEN VESPERAlpha Lance shifted closer. “You said it was a woman.”“Ugh.” Aspen groaned while she grazed her injury spot. “It hurts so much.”“Should I call the Doctor to have a look? He must still be close by.”“Nahh… It’s not that bad.”“Aspen,” he sighed, “how did this happen? When did you leave the room?”“I heard strange noises. I was trying to sleep, but the noises were distracting me.” A light exhale left her. “I stepped out to check the source and the next thing, this hooded person came to me, stabbed me and said…”“Said what?” Aspen saw that his eyes were filled with desperation.She allowed a heavy pause to exist before saying, “That I needed to die. The voice was quite feminine. Do you think Raven is openly trying to get rid of me?”“Huh…&rd

  • Betrayal, Love and Revenge   Thirty Three

    ASPEN VESPERThe minute Aspen was out of Kailin’s room, she found a corner of the house to hide so that she could carry out the first act of the new plan- an indication that she was truly going to be using Kailin’s position to free herself from the shackles of those that have been deceiving her.With her back firmly pressed against the wall, Aspen brought out the small dagger Kailin had handed to her before she left his room. After dangling the blade of the weapon in front of her, she quickly debated which part of her skin would have to bleed, and when she settled on a section just around her lower abdomen, Aspen positioned the knife on the selected spot.When she was certain that the stabbing spot would not lead to undue organ damage, she folded her lips to hide the wince that filled her throat while the chilly tip of the weapon slowly went into her body.Once enough blood appeared, Aspen quickly withdrew the weapon. She dropped the dagger as

    ASPEN VESPERWhen she could no longer find the strength to shed tears, Aspen got up. And like a soul with barely anything to live for, she dragged her feet towards the house and ended up in front of a door she severely swore she would never stand at.“Miss Aspen, shall I call out Lycan Kailin for you?” one of the guards, who surprisingly didn’t react negatively to her presence, asked.She shook her head and summoned some strength to knock while the growing dryness in her throat pierced her body and increased the pain she was feeling. The moment the door flung open, Aspen’s head lowered as though ashamed, and she waited with bated breath for the man to break the heavy silence.“Aspen,” her name rolled out of his mouth, “what are you-?” Instead of finishing his statement, his fingers found her chin. He gently raised her head, and while her eyes flickered to the side to avoid his gaze, he asked, “Did that

    ASPEN VESPER“All you did was eat me out, and now I want more,” Aspen confessed while her body heaved and tingled with pleasure.“Let’s take it step by step, Aspen. There is no rush.”She adjusted her position, lay a hand on his naked chest, stared deep into his eyes and said, “I don’t know. I think it would be better to not repeat what we just did.”“Why?”“I don’t want to get unhealthily attached to you.”“Ouch.” He laughed. “That hurts. I was hoping the moment we just shared would make you like me more.”“I never hated you.”“I know. But you don’t love me.” He pushed her hair back, desire for her still lurking in his eyes. “That is what I want.”“Who knows?” A happy grunt left Aspen’s lips, and she rested on his chest. “I might eventually like you more.
