*ASA TRINE* “Are you sure I can wear this?” I asked hesitantly as I stared at myself one last time in the mirror. The dress was no doubt absolutely beautiful but I wasn’t feeling very confident in it. I had rarely ever worn anything that showed this much skin.“Of course, you can dear, you look beautiful in it,” Luna said clapping her hands together and then turning to look at my best friend she continued, “You did the right thing in bringing this dress for her, Kate!”“Well, as my father owns a boutique it was only natural for me to inherit some of his fashion skills,” she smugly replied making me shake my head at her. She had been taking further studies after high school to become a fashion designer and this particular piece was one that she designed herself.“But it shows all of my leg,” I complained touching my bare leg.“Oh, come on, that slit isn’t even a very dangerous one, it only bares you from a little below the top of your thigh,” Kate admonished me as I clenched the two f

*ASA TRINE*Awe stricken faces and mesmerized eyes reflected the gem that was held for them to see.Placing it on the decorated table that was made as a small altar to put the lighted candles on, Alpha then turned to face the crowd and greeting he said, “Thank you everyone for assembling here for this praying ceremony.”The crowd immediately quieted on listening to their leader’s words and continuing with a smile Alpha said, “We are the children of Moon Goddess and to show her our gratitude for loving us and protecting us we have gathered here together to pray to her for our good health, prosperity and her constant blessing.”I had been so drawn in by the magnificence with which he had the crowd hushed that it took me a second to realize that Cain had been holding out a candle for me to take. Looking around I noticed that the others all had one in their hands as well and holding the stand tightly in my hands I silently thanked Cain.Luna brought forward two candles, holding one in eac

*UNKNOWN POV*The woman was scared as she could feel her eyes droop as the alcohol and tiredness manipulated her body to stay in bed. The comforter felt soft under her but it was a shame that she couldn’t enjoy it.Slow and steady breathing finally echoed the room from beside her and sighing she gently picked her head up from her mate’s arm as she stared at his face. He was asleep, at last.Sitting up properly on her bed she heard it creak but with the amount of alcohol her mate had consumed in the ceremony today there was no chance that he would wake up or at least she hoped he wouldn’t.Sighing she stared at his face that was sleeping peacefully without a care in this world. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen and she was happy that he was his.The night air that entered through the open window was cool and the light from the full moon casted on his face left her wishing to curl up in his arms and sleep.No, get a grip you can’t give in to the temptation!She thought as s

*ASA TRINE* For the first time I felt scared to look at one of these mystery patients. It wasn’t just any patient now it had hit closer to home. She was Michael’s sister and at some points in my life a friend to me. I might not like her as much now but she didn’t deserve this.“Cain! Asa! Thank goddess you two are here. I don’t know how it happened- Sofia is,” Mom was really worried that she could barely say out her sentences properly. Dad immediately held her in his arms and nodding at us to step into the closed room outside which they had been standing he moved to take her away.Inside I found Leia consoling Michael who was aimlessly stood in the corner staring at his sister. His face was marred with stress lines as he stood with the help of his mate.The room itself had been wrecked completely but not paying attention to that for now I gazed at Sofia’s pale face with her eyes shut like she had been sleeping. Every patient that had extracted this strange disease slipped into coma f

*CAIN ARIUS* There must be something!Looking through the thick log book I sighed when I had not met anything unnatural even after all this while. As far as I knew there weren’t anyone in our pack who would be courageous enough to even try and hurt the Beta’s sister and Clay’s mate, therefore my suspicions were on an outsider but till now I had not come against anyone outside of our pack that was present in the prayer ceremony yesterday.Suddenly I felt some tension pass through our mate bond alerting me of Asa being in some kind of stress. It was only a small shock but it worried me.Did something happen to her?I was trying to mind link her when I felt a nudge in my head and guessing it to be from her I immediately accepted it.‘Sir, we didn’t find anything suspicious in the ceremony grounds,’ The warrior who I had elected for this task told me and gripping the shiny pen stand in my hand I cut the call without a word angry at another dead end.Who was this asshole behind such a wi
