Chapter 134 - One Hundred And Thirty-four : The Scapegoat
Daniel didn't have time to think, he had left his office in the middle of the discussion with his aunt, grabbed an extra clothe and left his pack.
Thankfully Ryan was a very capable Beta so just an eye contact with him explained everything. Unfortunately, he would have to handle his aunt later by himself but at the moment , his mate needs him the most.
His shift in the woods was swift and quick simply because his wolf was very anxious and eager to rescue their mate, so he wasn't surprised when he arrived in littleTown in no time.
Since his clothes were shredded, he quickly changed into the new one his wolf had held in its mouth throughout the journey.
Once done, he quickly raced to his Mate's place but when he arrived , what he never expected was seeing Asher fall from his mate's balcony and landing right in front of him.
"Hi dude " He saw Asher cough up blood while on the ground and gave him a stupid smile saying " Welcome to the party "
Daniel shook his head, gave Asher a hand and pulled him to his feet and asked " What's going on? "
"I just caught our mate - ouch ! " Asher was interrupted and winced in pain the moment Daniel pulled out a large shard of glass he hadn't noticed, embedded and sticking out from his neck.
"You were saying? " Daniel quirked an eyebrow.
Asher's jaw ticked, he knew Daniel pulled it out painfully on purpose and he wasn't going to let him go scot-free for that.
"Our mate is cheating on us " He disclosed and Daniels eyes flashed yellow at once while he released a warning growl.
"Fine, you don't believe me? Then enjoy the ride "
Asher told him but before Daniel could understand what he meant, he raised his hands and a strong wind from no where lifted him off his feet and tossed him towards the direction of his mate's balcony, landing right inside the room face first .
Still lying on the floor, Daniel looked around and discovered there were two - no three figures standing in the room.
He sprang to his feet at once , flicked out his claws and bared his teeth at Lawrence who was watching the scene with an amused expression on his face.
Daniel lunged at the necromancer but his mate Lia suddenly moved from Lawrence's side and put herself in front of him protectively before screaming straight at Daniel.
The sheer force of her power rocked him and made him dizzy , Daniel could not understand what happened next but all knew was that he felt weightless for a while before he landed with a thud on the ground.
Releasing a pained moan , Daniel opened his eyes and saw Asher looming over him but he shook his head and cleared his black dotted vision.
"What happened? " He asked and sat up, groaning with the effort. His ears were still ringing and one of his hands traveled there only to touch something sticky and wet.
Daniel stared at his hand which was red; he was bleeding from the ears . Damn it !
" 1:1 " Asher celebrated " It's a tie , you finally tasted the same fate as I did " he said in a tone that showed he was pleased with the result.
Daniel stood to his feet while giving him a dirty look " Our mate was defending him "
"She is under his control " Asher informed.
Daniel retorted "Tell that to my wolf who is disappointed and angry at her "
Asher cocked a brow "Then your wolf is an asshole, tell him I said he's a dick since he can't put his money where his mouth is in this situation " he insulted eliciting a feral growl from Daniel.
But he remained unfazed and added " And we can continue fighting or think of a way to solve this disturbing problem. Your choice" Asher offered and when he saw Daniel calm down, he knew at once he had won.
"So what's the plan? "
"There's no plan, we're going in blind " Asher announced and his jaw dropped.
Daniel pointed to the balcony "I just fell how many meters from that place and you're asking me to go back there again without a backup plan? I might be a werewolf and heal quickly but the pain is real and I'm not a sucker for pain " He told Asher straightforwardly.
Asher chuckled "Who said there's no backup plan? Hello, I'm your backup " he waved his hand to make his presence known.
"That is so not happening " Daniel disagreed having figured out his plan.
"Why not? It's the fastest and most effective I can come up with at the moment. We go in together , you take the hit while I take advantage of the distraction and launch an attack " Asher explained but Daniel strongly objected.
"Why don't you take the hit while I launch an attack instead ?" He suggested.
"I'm sorry kiddo but I'm the one with the powers here " He reminded Daniel and summoned a ball of flame from his hand, intentionally showing off his abilities.
Brows drawn together and?jaw?clenched in irritation, Daniel finally took a deep breath and gave in " Fine then, I'll be the scapegoat "
"You ready? " Asher asked and positioned his body , ready for their flight " At the count of one..two.. three! " His powers came to work again and Asher hoisted the two of them up rapidly in the air and soon enough found themselves in her room - an empty room.
Shit, they were gone.
