Chapter 765

Chapter 110 : Rejected

I kept to the shadows and ran after Ashley. It was easy enough to track them. They left a wide trail.

When I caught up to them, they were in a clearing in the forest, the two wolves facing off.

I took cover in some underbrush and stayed out of sight. It was weird to see the two of them just staring at each other. If Ashley really thought the other wolf was a threat, she would have destroyed him.

It took a moment, but the moonlight was bright enough that I could recognize the other wolf.

Eros.

Ashley growled and launched herself across the clearing, straight at Eros. Her teeth bared; claws outstretched.

Eros didn’t defend himself. Instead, he shifted back to human form, far more vulnerable and defenseless.

Ashley stopped dead. She licked her lips and growled, flicking her tail back and forth. Her ears were plastered back on her head. She was pissed!

Eros stood still, a calm look on his face.

“Ashley, are you really going to kill me?”

Ashley’s wolf opened her mouth and hissed, showing off her sharp teeth. Part of me hoped Eros would provoke her because she was seconds away from shredding him to ribbons.

“If that is what you really want, Ashley, then do it. I won’t even defend myself.”

I covered my mouth and gasped. Eros was beyond manipulative!

If he begged Ashley or made up excuses, Ashley would get angry enough to attack him. Instead, Eros just stood there and accepted her anger and whatever she wanted to do to him.

I knew Ashley well enough to know that it would probably cause her to stop raging and let Eros go. He knew her well enough to know that, too.

Ashley’s wolf let out a frustrated snarl and shook her head.

“Believe me, Ashley, I’m not here to hurt you… I-“

Ashley shifted back and threw her arms up in the air. “Shut up! Stop lying! Since the very beginning, all you’ve done is lie. All you wanted was those artifacts! I was stupid enough to believe you then and I won’t make that mistake again.”

Her nostrils flared as she ranted.

I nodded to her, silently praising her for standing up for herself and putting Eros in his place. It was time someone called him out.

I’m sorry, Ashley.” Eros’s voice was soft and
