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

    KAILIN BLACKWOODKailin was tempted to laugh at the silly thing Raven uttered, but he kept his cool, stepped outside and closed the door. “Why are you here?” he asked again.The woman laughed, her hair dancing in the process. “I just answered you, didn’t I? You left without dropping a note, so I was worried. I don’t like it when you disappear to this silly hideout of yours. You know that already. Thank goodness I am here.” She scoffed as she peeped into the room. “Heaven knows what you were about to do with Aspen. I knew something fishy was going on.”Kailin pocketed his hands. “You are something else, Raven. How dare you act this way? What gives you the right to strangle me with your presence?”“I am your mate, Kailin,” she bitterly replied. “Your mate.”“You sneak out to meet your lover every Tuesday and Thursday.” He smirked and blocked her view of th

    ASPEN VESPERMinutes after eating, the men dragged out a crate of wine. And for some reason, as they opened a bottle, they started to discuss life as though they were long-lost brothers.Since Aspen was not fond of drinking late in the night, she headed inside to lie down. Then, the scenarios Kailin painted during their discussion started to play in her head. In both scenes, Aspen would be satisfied with the shock on Lance's face after learning that she knew all about his deceit.It certainly would be a lovely day when that happens.Aspen also reckoned that the hatred she had for the man would feel fulfilled when that day comes.With a smile etched on her lips, she closed her eyes and proceeded to remain in bed till sleep arrived.Moments after sleep came, the front door creaked open. The footsteps that walked in were disorderly and forced Aspen to wake up. As she groaned in complaint, she turned to face the entrance, but Kailin’s reco

  • Betrayal, Love and Revenge   Forty One

    ASPEN VESPERNo matter how much she analysed what she just dreamt, Aspen could not find answers. The forest she was running through in the scene was unknown to her, so was the reason for running so hard.But one thing she could deduce was that someone was after her. But for what reason?Aspen was trying hard to convince herself not to think too hard about the dream, but it influenced her reality too much for her to ignore it.After sitting up, her mind wandered to three years ago. She replayed every detail from her kidnapping to her escape. She could still remember how hotly her body reacted to the poison she was fed. But, no matter how much she walked down memory lane, she did not find a scene that fit the dream she just had.So, she gave up on analysing it, convinced herself that it was probably one of her silly dreams, and went back to sleep.~~~Many hours passed before Kailin walked into the room again. The moment his steps fille

    ASPEN VESPER“Aspen, wake up.” Kailin’s voice brought the woman out of the slumber she wasn’t aware she had fallen into. “We are here.”She sat up, rubbed the sleep in her eyes and saw that the door of the van was open. She looked ahead, and there was nothing but trees in that far distance. A little confused, she faced Kailin and asked, “Where is this?”“A nice and quiet place.” He got down and waited for her at the entrance. “The only people that know we are here are Ezra and the driver. It’s a great spot to discuss without interruptions.”Aspen’s eyes lightened. “Ezra is here?”“He will join us soon.” The man stretched his hand and led her out of the vehicle.Aspen, who was a little excited about that getaway, looked to her left and saw that there was a little wooden inn. It reeked of elegance, so she quickly deduced that it was one

    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
