*ASA TRINE*There was a jerk that broke me out of my sleep.As I wasn’t wearing any seat belt my body went hurling forward and before I could gather my disoriented self I crashed forward into the dashboard making me groan. A second bump made my neck crick and seething at that pain I was only preparing myself for another hit in the darkness when I felt a hand pull my body tight against the seat working as a seat belt.“Cain?” I asked when I gathered my breath, “What is happening?”The car rattled once more and weightlessness gripped the two of us as it felt like we had been flipped over and with a shriek that echoed through my throat, the car came crashing down as glass and splinters of metal tore away and pierced into our skin.“Asa? Are you okay?” There was a slight ringing in my ear because of the way I had hit my head again but finally able to mumble out a groan I made him aware of my consciousness although barely.What was happening? Did we get into an accident?There was intense

*ASA TRINE*I couldn’t help but look at the plate of bacon and eggs in astonishment along with the toast and jelly placed before us with a complimentary glass of orange juice filled to the brim. There was something wrong about the predicament I had expected and the situation we had finally fallen into.The Alpha himself was serving breakfast for us!“So, how do you know my mate?” I asked Alpha Blake who smiled at me and then shared a look with Cain who had a smirk on his face as if he was eagerly awaiting his answer making me all the more curious.“I got to know Cain from when he was going to kill me.”His reply and the smile with which it was paired with had rendered me speechless. What kind of man looked this happy to be serving his killer?‘Really, it’s strange. Despite looking this tired he has a strange happiness to him that makes me feel weird. Actually this whole pack feels a bit weird to me,’ Xara said and as she said this I could feel it too. There was something really wrong

*ASA TRINE*“I want to be really angry with you right now but I can’t because I know that you must have not had an option,” Cain said as he looked at me with an expression of sadness clear on his face.Alpha Blake had given us another vehicle to drive to Aegon Mountain which thankfully wasn’t as far as I had thought it was. He had let us stay in the pack last night only after we had assured him that nothing would happen to us and when we disclosed him the story regarding our own tragedies. “He made it seem like I had an option to decline his deal but frankly I could never. He threatened me to destroy our pack if I didn’t fulfill my end of the deal and I am sure even if I did not agree with his deal he would have done something but at least now we know his name,” I sighed looking forward trying to not let the situation burden on me as I felt my body heat up from the fever that still took hold of me. Even then I must have grown some resistance to it or maybe he had let me off easy thi

*ASA TRINE* “What?” I couldn’t help but shout as I sat up at once staring at my sister with a look of disbelief similar to that which Cain sported. From our expressions, it seemed clear that the rest had already discussed this topic before us for they had a slightly more composed expression than us.Taking my hand in hers she caressed it lightly as she said, “I am sorry if I scared you by coming here and I know it wasn’t wise of me to put my life or my baby’s life at risk but there are bigger things at stake here,” she took a pause as she looked up at me with her hesitant green eyes as if afraid to say the next words but finally she bit it out, “Asa, I think we are somehow connected to the demon and this curse. The ‘Trine’ in that song must have meant you or maybe our family.”“Is this why the Moon Goddess came to me? Is this why I could hear the song and see the picture while Cain couldn’t?” I asked questions that now provided me with a clearer understanding of why some things happ

*ASA TRINE* “Looks like our grandparents liked living on the edge,” Leia chuckled motioning with her head towards the cliff a little away from where the huge house was situated.At her joke, I couldn’t help but laugh a little as I felt my nerves calm down significantly from before. It was daunting to see the mansion-sized house the mere gate of which was more than double Cain’s height. The grey wall that the gates were attached to were just as huge and while we were driving up the road to the house, half of the house had been visible from afar despite its presence.It was wrong to actually call it a house; it reminded me of more of a small-sized medieval castle. With its conical topped towers peaking from over the walls and being the first thing that a person would notice about this secluded palace. “Not to sound like a shallow person but your family looks like they were mega-rich,” Michael said in awe looking up at the grey stoned building that though screamed ancient still had be
