We returned to the motel after searching through the bushes for any sign of where the shaman might have headed to. We spent another hour or two ravaging through the shack, more like Asher did it and all I did was watch him.I watched as he trashed someone else's personal space, with each piece of furniture he smashed his rage could be seen. Not all could it be seen in his actions but it could also be seen in his eyes, when a piece of wood flew towards me and I scurried to the side; he seemed to remember I was there.He stared me down, his eyes wore his thoughts; I wish the Shaman was here so he could severe this thing from me. That was what his eyes said, he hated me and it was sad because I hated him too.Two mates who detest each other, one unwilling to get over his dead mate and the other too tired to try getting close to the former again. If Asher had a chance he would have left me in the forest but because he needed me, he took me with him back to the motel.Chivalry seem to have
"You must have met my brother," his brother? Ray?? "I should probably introduce myself. Although I go by many names, you can call me Richard." He spoke with a smile I looked at him with doubt, he was seven points similar to Ray and the likelihood of having a similar personality was also high."You're his younger brother?" His bottle was now empty and he sat there in a daze, I was unsure if he was listening to me until he shook his head."Not his younger brother, his older brother. Older twin brother." Oh, that explained the similarities although his hair was longer."You said you were waiting for me? Did Ray ask you to meet me?" He reached for the bottle of water and took a sip."Yeah. You wanted to meet me so I waited," I didn't get what he was saying and he noticed too. "You went to my shack in the middle of nowhere just to meet me."My body stiffened, "You are the Shaman?" He nodded lightly, "The one who's going to severe my bond with Asher?""No, no." He shook his head in denial
A loud knock on my door woke me up from my drowsy state, I was unwilling to get up from the bed and whoever was knocking seem to be doing it for courtesy as they gave up and came in instead. Ari walked in with an expressionless face."Asher got orders for you," her voice flat, she wasn't in a good mood.The last thing I wanted was to get dressed for an audience with the imperial jerk of Silver pack, "Can't he come tell me himself?""You want him to come tell you himself?" Ari's voice held a hint of surprise as she couldn't believe I actually said that, "That wouldn't happen. I already received the orders on your behalf.""And what did it say?" I sat up with a grunt, I think I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. "He asked for me to train you," she took a sit on the bed. "Apparently you're too weak and need strength.""Strength for what? And I'm pretty strong already. You saw me fight that- girl in the training grounds, didn't you?" "That doesn't concern him and I'm just following o
My mind churned as I ran back into the pack house, I ran to the one place I knew no one would expect me to hide; the hidden dungeon.A few minutes ago I was in a scuffle with Ari when Asher came to play his role, his role of hurting me even though he was meant to protect me.I was hurt, insulted, and angry as he defended his sister. I didn't have any expectations as he had tried strangling me to my death because of her.I remember how his face contorted in anger when I called him a fake alpha and mate, his face didn't simply change from annoyance to anger, he shifted. Ready to pounce on me?His words were as clear as the sound of my footsteps on the floor, 'I can't help but wonder what I did to annoy the moon goddess that she gave me a second chance mate like you.'And I remember saying these words that made him snap and shift, 'Anyone but you would have been a perfect mate even a rogue.' and with that, he shifted. Out of nowhere, several large wolves surrounded him, each growling in
Asher's P.O.V3 months ago...It was winter and the trail I left behind was filled with blood, my head was fuzzy and it kept warning me to take a break but I didn't care to listen.One of the heads I was holding fell out of my grip and rolled off in front of me, the eyes looked alive and stared at me in horror. Perhaps it was because I just ripped it off its body a few minutes ago but I don't care.I continued walking down the path I chose with no idea of where it led to, I just wanted to get out of this bloody sin I had created.The road was endless, I wanted to get home and sleep. I wanted to let my woman know I had eradicated almost all of her enemies, I wanted her to not know fear any longer because of them.Because of the warlocks who killed her child, the warlocks who defiled her even at the moment of death. My woman needs not to know fear, my mate needs not worry about anyone or anything desecrating her any further.They had taken her away from me and made me feel weak and inc
EMILY’S POVI waited for as long as I could, for as far as I thought could be considered a lengthy time, and still no one came to find me. It was quiet outside or rather I couldn’t tell because I was still in the dungeon. I at least expected Ray to show up but no one did, so I just sat it out until I thought it was safe enough.Dave who had gone off to a corner of his cell a while ago and napped, was up and annoying. “what are you still doing here?”“what does it look like I am doing? Surveying my future residence?” I was agitated, my father was here to set me free.“you might as well be doing that because you’ve been here for over four hours and that is enough for whoever you are running away from to cool off.”I cast him a side glance and he wasn’t even looking at me, “Yeah, you are right. I should get up and there and face him.”Dave didn’t respond, I threw on a little smile although I knew fully well that he wasn’t looking at me. I’m not too sure about facing him but I did know th
Asher's POVFor the past four years, I've dreamt of doing this.For the past four years, I've dreamt of killing the warlock that killed my mate. I have envisaged it uncountable times of how his head will roll.I've waited long enough, and finally. I've been waiting silently but to think I wouldn't be as happy as I imagined meeting him would be.I finally met her killer but it wasn't a warlock, just another werewolf that can't even be considered to be on par with me. They fooled me, they used me to eradicate a race. I wouldn't forgive them."Who did you say you killed?" I would love to convince myself I didn't hear properly.Lukas, Emily's father stepped forward, his voice strained. "Asher, listen to me. We didn't…"But before he could finish, I lunged. My vision was clearly blinded by anger, a grey wolf jumped in front of me in a pathetic attempt to stop me. I didn't have time for this.A horrifying scream ripped through the air as my wolf slammed the tiny wolf against the wall. The s
Emily's POVThe branches crunched beneath Dad's paws as he ran farther away from Silver Pack's warriors. Exhaustion weighed heavy on his body, but he wouldn't let me get down, I could feel through his fur how tense his muscles were. I would have normally insisted on getting off but fear struck deep in my bones, and left my mouth shut. I had become a rogue and for Dad, something tells me he had become one too.The memory of Jasper's lifeless body, crumpled against the wall, sent a fresh wave of nausea crashing over me, it was the only thing I could think of. He had taken care of me since day one, always had my back regardless of the situation, if I was at fault or not, and now it finally got to him. His death felt like a personal betrayal, adding to the weight of grief and confusion that weighed heavily on me. I tightly held onto Dad, I was scared that if I let loose a little bit then he'll be gone too.There was a secluded cave, its entrance hidden behind a curtain of thick vines.
