Chapter 71 - At last we meet

Esma’s pov.

“Where we are heading Asher?” I asked as I saw the trees passing by in blur. Everything was going above my head. there were questions I don’t know answers of.

Why the witches attacked us on the first place. What they want. They got the blade of Zydus. They want to kill us? They could actually do it before when they got the chance. They can exterminate us easily if they wanted.

It was revenge she was after? No. still pulling this kind of act, pulling both parties to this kind of mass slaughter requires much greater resolve than holding personal grudge.

“We are going to meet someone.” Asher said pulling me back from my thoughts, he was highly sceptical and overly conscious about something.

“You think someone is following us?” I asked catching him glancing back through the rear-view mirror.

He shake his head and turned his eyes forward. “Nothing.” he said and smiled a little.

“You don’t make the lady uncomfortable little brother.” Jason said and ruffled Asher’s hair. Asher slapped his hand away. Jason just chuckled. I bet he was one of those big brothers who liked to mess with their younger siblings.

I bet Asher was bullied a lot by him.

“Tell her we are going to meet Samy.” He said and take the right turn at the crossroads. I clipped my lips shut waiting for them to explain. I hate being in the dark.

“Sammy is my girlfriend.” He said and winked through the mirror. “And she is a witch.” Asher added almost waiting for him to complete.

“Yes, she is. So what?” Jason retorted. Your alpha had one witch at his home, doesn’t he?” he said and I can tell Asher was gritting his teeth. I know he was talking about Diana. But Diana was a sister to him.

We all sit in the awkward silent. I don’t know why both of the Rodrigo brothers were fighting for but I can tell Asher hardly gets upset. I haven’t seen him losing his cool even when Reed gone missing. He is calm and composed and think thoroughly before doing anything. Still, Jason able to mess with his nerve.

“You think she can find them?” I asked when I was sure none of them was going to speak.

“I bet she will.” Jason said without losing the beat, almost immediately with so much confident I swear I find his words holding so much truth. But I can’t hope. Hope is toxic.

I have been given hope so many times by so many people I just can’t get my eyes up now.

Jason must have noticed my discomfort because he opened the side window, the cold window flows through my face and I sighed. The fresh air filled my nostrils and I closed my eyes for brief second.

“Alpha? Alpha?”

“She is sleeping like a wood lol, try shaking her.”

“Emmy?” I heard Asher’s voice and someone shaking me, I opened ,my eyes and groaned in the most un-women manner. I fell asleep.

“We have reached the destination.” Asher declared and opened the door for me. I walked out of the car and looked around.

It was dark. We have been driving for almost four hours, I checked my cell phone it was already ten past midnight.

I saw Jason started walking on the abandoned road without waiting for us. Asher looked at me. “Let’s go. Stick with me.”

I hummed and together we followed him on the dingy road. The lamps were turned on as soon as we hit the road and the way didn’t seem to look that shabby now.

Jason winked at me. “She knows we have arrived.” He said and started walking a bit faster. I know he was much eager to meet his girlfriend.

After walking for like five minutes we were in front of a small house at the end of the road. The house was simple and kind of cute with the flowers and plants decorating its ceiling. The door was made of an old oak tree and there was an owl sitting in front of the door.

His eyes were glued on me and I swear I feel goose bumps by staring back at him. I feel drawn towards its yellow pearls. I feel it was peering inside my soul.

“He is our pet. His name is Atom.” Jason said and opened the door and rubbed his shoes on the door mate. talking about manners.

“Honey I am home.” he declared as he entered in the house and we followed him. he walked briskly and engulfed a woman working in the kitchen and I heard a small squeal.

Jason kissed the woman’s cheek and said something in her ear. Asher walked inside with me. he was looking around the house standing behind me. my eyes were fixated on the woman in front of me.

After Jason was done, he left her and turned to look at us. “She is my girlfriend, Roxy.” he said and the woman turned to face us and damn. Never have I ever feel so jealous of someone’s looks.

Why does god give some people so much? I mean, looking at her I can tell she was blessed by the good genetics.

Calling her beautiful will only be a disrespect to the god of love. Blond hair, almost like honey, my fingers were itching to touch her hair. Emarald purple eyes, and skin smooth like milk.

She finally looked at me and our eyes locked. She looked at me as if she knew me. As if reading my mind, she smiled.

“I have been waiting for you, Esma Rockwood.”

The End.
