Alpha Asher By Jane Doe
Chapter 168
Even worrying about Asher, which I’d been doing since the blood witch said he had problems of his own to deal with, sapped what little strength I had left.
As I swayed where I stood, staring down at the five lifeless bodies, the shadows watched from their hidden alcoves within the forest. Tristan stood nearby, his eyes flitting to my face every few seconds as though he were worried I’d topple over at any moment.
I sure felt like I was, but I’d never admit that.
Instead I frowned at the blood that watered the earth and thought about the words that the blood witch uttered.
“Make use of their blood…” I said quietly, lifting my gaze to peer at the darkness that surrounded us.
Cassidy continued to gnaw on her lower lip, which she’d been doing for the last half hour. “What do you mean by that?”
Tristan grunted, which was indication enough that he knew exactly what I meant.
“As reward for your service, you may feed on the blood that was spilled, only that of the five Vampire’s who needlessly lost their lives this night.” I said to the shadows, my voice strong despite the lead that weighed down my bones and claimed my energy. At the last moment, staring down at the men who had harbored such hatred for someone they knew very little about, I added: “…all I ask is that you return their bodies to the earth.
I wasn’t sure if the tendrils of darkness could feel my lack of strength, or if they were simply that hungry, but they swarmed the ground like the fog that often cloaked the entire town in the early morning hours, when the air was thick with humidity.
Cassidy let out a sound that was halfway between a croak and a wail, taking several steps back though the shadows still slithered around her feet.
“What in the h**l…” She muttered.
Within seconds the ground was clean, free from the blood and the bodies of the d**d Vampire’s.
“Lola, are you alright?” Tristan said quietly, his voice so low that I had to strain to hear him. “You look like you need some sleep…”
“I do, and I will, but only after I figure out how the h**l this happened.” I told him; thankful the others weren’t within hearing range. “Have the Vampire taken to a cell …one of the nicer ones. I don’t want her harmed, I can’t begin to stress that enough.”
“I’ll stay with her to make sure, but only after you’re safe in bed.” He replied, and as he held my gaze it wasn’t desire I felt, but the genuine need to protect and serve his Queen.
The handful of wolves on patrol who knew the location of Asher’s personal holding cells escorted the Vampire, each one under strict orders to only use force should she try and escape–and judging from how much blood she lost, that wouldn’t be happening anytime soon.
