Chapter 57
Let my mother go, you bastard.
Asher breezed along with Larry, who seemed to be running as fast as he could.
“You’re too slow. Where exactly are they?” He asked Larry, who could barely keep up with Asher's
casual sprint.
“T-They're at the edge of the village to the north” He said nervously, not used to having Asher
speak to him.
“Good” Asher muttered.
In a flash he vanished from Larry's field of vision as he went further to catch sight of the intruders.
“W-Wow! Larry could only mutter. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
He quickly halted, refusing to push himself any further since he had already directed Asher. With
heavy breaths, he bent on his knees to regain his strength. Suddenly, Roxanne along with Rita and
Dax appeared behind him, startling him a bit.
“Where did Asher go?” Roxanne asked in a hurry.
“W-What are you talking about?” He replied, confused about what was happening.
He looked at Dax and Rita, who merely nodded, urging him to look at Roxanne who was asking
him the questions.
“What direction did he go? Where are the intruders?” Roxanne repeated.
“O-Oh… That! They’re at the edge of the village to the north” He said.
“Great. Thanks!” Roxanne said with relief.
As an afterthought, she turned back and looked at Larry with a slight frown.
“W-What? Do I have something on my face?” He asked.
“Roxanne! My name is Roxanne!” She said to him, dashing off as soon as she told him.
Dax and Rita followed behind her and took off to the north of the village, where they would see
Asher and the two intruders. Roxanne took even breaths and wasted no movements in order to
conserve her stamina while maximising her speed.
“Let’s hope I’m not too late!” She said to herself.
It didn’t take Asher very long to find the intruders. Of course, his pack had surrounded them so he
wouldn’t need to do the hunt himself. He used his heightened senses and picked up traces of their
conversation.
“This is unfair, we don’t deserve this!” Asher heard a voice protesting.
“You picked a fight with us first! We don’t deserve this treatment!” Another one said, sounding
much older and mature.
“We don’t know what you’re talking about!” One of the pack members said.
Asher smiled, still dashing toward the location.
He sniffed the air and picked up a strange scent, familiar to him in the weirdest way.
“This is… That house…” Asher muttered to himself, reminded of the cottage he found Roxanne in
before he took her away.
Increasing his speed, he finally arrived at the location within a few seconds.
Immediately he arrived, pressure filled the atmosphere, making the Pack members all bow as soon
as they saw him. The two intruders shuddered a bit when they saw him, but refused to budge from their
upright stance.
“Why have you come here?” He asked with a deep and authoritative tone.
“You have taken one who is ours. We have only come to retrieve her.” The older looking one said.
“Old one, I don’t know what you speak of. What I do know is that you have trespassed our territory,
entered without prior invitation or proper procedure, and most of all, you have brought my attention into
all of this. I do hope you are ready for the consequences that follow such actions.” He frowned at them.
The two women looked determined still. Clearly they were intimidated by him as well as the threats
he made, but they wouldn’t be fazed from their objective.
