*ASA TRINE*The grandeur of the house was consistent inside as it was outside with chandeliers, carpets, and tall windows setting it directly into a film set from the 1800s. It was unrealistic to think such a place still existed and even more difficult was to believe that this all was ours as claimed by Ross.My thoughts brought my attention back to him as he gave us a tour of the big house with joy and devotion that couldn’t hide from his face as he would tell us stories about my father and grandparents.Alpha Brendon had left a while ago apologizing for his leave to go and look through some pack work leaving us alone with Ross who he claimed would be the best person to answer all our doubts.“Your grandfather had always loved kids and had often let out many a sigh imagining his grandkids that he wasn’t aware of,” Ross said making me sad for the family that I had never met before and had often yearned for when I was young and would see other kids spend time and get doted on by their

"The pack doctor has just left a few minutes ago for some business in the next town," The alpha informed us, making us feel more pressured at the lack of a proper doctor's care."What about the rest of the doctors?" I asked in a hurry as the nurses wheeled Leia inside the hospital."They had all been required at an accident site on the other side of the pack where a bus had toppled over and had injured several people," he informed, and I cursed at my luck that didn't seem to be at my side no matter what these days.Realizing our worries, he quickly added, "I am sure you would be able o catch up to him before he leaves the border if you leave right now."That was all the assurance we needed before which Cain and I had sat back in the car and rushed down the road towards the pack's border."Do you think the demon is going out of his way to create this nuisance for us?" Cain asked, slamming the accelerator as he sped on the road, noticing it to be empty."I was told that his influence he

*ASA TRINE*“Can you help me to move all this furniture away?” I asked Ross as I immediately got to working and started pushing away the sofas that was on the carpet that covered the rest of the mysterious light. This must be a big clue for only then would this not be visible to Ross and without a question Ross immediately went to help me with the strength that he could muster.Pushing the furniture away from the carpet I saw more and more of the light now peaking from the spaces that had been at first hid from my sight because of the furniture and at last I sat down and pulled at the carpet tearing it in the process.“What are you doing Miss?” Ross asked in horror watching as his expensive carpet was shredded in many piece by my claws but I didn’t have the patience to move away the cloth that had been keeping me away from the only thing that provided me with an ounce of hope.“Please Ross let me do what I want to,” I pleaded him but my words were spent on deaf ears as he came to move

*ASA TRINE*A warm embrace and a gentle calling was the first thing I recognized in the eternal darkness that I had felt myself submerged in.“Wake up, Asa.”Those words had been repeated to me for a long time before I could differentiate it from the buzz that had been overtaking my head.“Asa?”There was another call and recognizing the voice I couldn’t help but feel hope glimmer inside me at the prospect of myself being alive.But the sooner had I felt happiness the quicker I realized that my sacrifice to the goddess mustn’t have worked and that meant that I had been unable to help free the world from Ephialtes.“Everything is alright, Asa. I am sorry for how I behaved.”Those words made me yearn to open my eyes as I carved to see the face that must have been holding a frown on it.But was everything really alright?Suddenly I felt a tingling touch near my eyes as I heard an increase in sounds from around me as Cain said, “Why are you crying, Asa? Are you in pain?”There was some mo

*ASA TRINE*Before I could respond back I was suddenly strictly pulled back into a familiar touch as my face was pressed against a warm chest and hid away from everyone’s view.“Who the fuck are you?”In my protection and defence everyone rose at once in guard as they came to stand in front of me. Pushing to turn around as I tried to look at the others I saw my pregnant sister get off the couch and then waddle to come and stand in front of me too.This sight was comical to me and looking up at Cain to tell him to let me go I felt him being reluctant but then slowly free his arm around me to turn me around and face the new visitor we had.The man, now standing straight and tall was someone who looked older than all of us, maybe in his late twenties? I am not quite sure but he held a calmness that came with maturity and age as he fixed his gaze on me and then brought his attention to Leia where his eyes widened again very subtly but then a smile blossomed on his face.“I am so happy to
