ログインAsher.
“I know you are not afraid of death,” I told Elektra and my father. “But your demises will hinder the plan of Alistair.”
“There will always be more of us, Asher, you cannot cut down out numbers,” Elektra declared. I looked around for
Icarus.There was no where left to hide after day ten. Things were happening that were beyond my control and it got me worried.Things were happening in Silver Crest that was making everyone feel like the end of the world was coming.Alpha Asher was going against the Council of Silver Crest which had never happened before. I believed it had something to do with the mysterious rise of the Rejected.They went by many names. The cursed, ferals, some even called them diseased and infected but from what Sage had revealed, the Rejected were not contagious.But it was mentally draining and terrifying to live with the knowledge that it could happen to anyone regardless of their ranks.I tried to get my mind of it by practicing what Dominic instructed me to do. "Slow down your breathing, reduce your aura, and stay as quiet as possible, the key is to be in as few places as possible. If you move around too much, your scent will be all over the place and you can be easily tracked." Dominic had
Asher.I stayed in the shadows.I ignored calls and refused interviews. The only thing I did that involved social media was to publicize my father’s funeral. Did I kill him? Yes. Was it anyone’s fucking business? No.A lot of well-wishers came but I paid them little attention. It was a very quick public funeral. Ava was by my side and her secretly promiscuous assistant was also present. The paparazzi were crazily snapping away with their cameras, milking my tragedy as much as they could.“I solemnly vow to you, Asher, they will pay, I will bring the people behind this to their knees before I snuff out their life.” Keiran said to me as he stood beside me with his usual scowl of disdain.I could tell that he did not like nor care much for funerals.“Thank you for coming, Kieran.” I said with a slight nod.Dominic said nothing as he stood by my left. I noticed that he seemed a bit different from his usual self. It was like he was going through a battle that only him could fight. I guess
Kieran.“Welcome home, Lady Thorne,” One of her female servants said with a bow of curtesy. They were three in number and they were all impeccably dressed in black and white maid uniforms.“We have prepared everything just as you ordered.”This was grand. I had been in the Thorne mansion more times than I could count. One thing that never changed was its magnificence. “Thank you, that will be all,” Sia said with a little nod. The maids dis
Kieran.Sia was hiding how smart she truly was and I needed to why.“You know your way around a lab, you know your way around numbers and how to run a business, why are you hiding your intellect?” I asked watching her closely.I was seeing her differently every day.She shrugged and I could see the weight of unwanted memories slump her shoulders. “Intelligence was the only currency to the realm of father’s attention.” She relayed to me. “He did not care about anything else except what I had to
Kieran.“We need to kill the remaining shareholders of this project and keep it for ourselves,” Sia stated coldly as we left the elevator. I had been impressed and in awe of the development that was going on at the Den.“Why not talk with them instead?” I asked even though I totally agreed with her. I wanted the project for myself.“Because they have their own agenda for it too, Kieran,” Sia replied as we finally entered into her office.We were both greeted by
Dominic.I hated being helpless. So much that I refused Sage’s help when she offered to help me up the stairs.“You are so stubborn,” she grumbled in annoyance. “I know,” I grunted in discomfort as I walked up the stairs one step at a time. I felt like I just woke up from a coma. If I had let Sage help me, it would make mother and father worried.I did not want those two involved in whatever was going with me.
The interior of the Fortress was nothing like I’d expected. From the outside, it looked like a medieval castle frozen in time, but inside? It was unexpectedly high-tech, like stepping into some kind of military command center disguised as historical architecture
I finally turned to fully face Lady Sia, giving her my complete attention for the first time since her arrival. “I think you’ve overstayed your welcome, Lady Sia. It&rs
AsherI make things up for a living. Not for sport, not for malice, but to keep the gears turning, to keep the machine that is Silver Crest from grinding itself into dust. I deal in politics, and one of the greatest tools a politic
Life, as I had come to understand it, was filled with doing things I absolutely hated. Not small inconveniences or minor irritations, but soul-crushing necessities that left scars you could never quite forget.I had been born into
