Chapter 186



“That’s what the forecast said. They are quite common here” The receptionist answered.

“Fine, I will take a room” He agreed. He was half convinced that this blizzard was just a hoax and that he was just trying to rip him off. But in case he was right, it was better not to risk it right? After all he promised his mate he would be careful no matter what and he didn’t want to break his promise to his mate.

After freshening up he linked Caleb and chatted with him the entire afternoon. Towards noon the snowfall started to increase and by the time he hung up on Caleb the blizzard had taken its worst form. He was really glad at this point that he decided to stay back.

The wait for the blizzard to stop turned into two days. By the end of the third day, that is around midnight the blizzard finally took the shape of a harmless snowfall. A lot of damage had occurred in its course and as much bad Ashton felt for the people around he needed to get a move on.

He was packing up his stuff when Caleb linked him. Ashton informed him about the scenario and how he planned on leaving. Caleb however wasn’t so pleased with it, [This is a stupid idea. It’s almost midnight]

[I gotta leave, it’s already so late] Ashton protested.

.....

[You told me yourself that the area is full of wilderness] Caleb reminded him. [You told me you won’t be reckless. If you have waited for two days why not a few hours? You can leave when it’s morning right?] Caleb insisted.

[But what if the blizzard happens again?] Ashton whined.

[More reason for you to stay. You need to be at least a little bit sure before you venture into the unknown. I am worried sick you know!] Caleb scowled at him.

[Okay, fine fine, I will stay back.] Ashton pouted. Taking off his shoes and his shirt (feeling perfectly normal in this sub zero temperature) he laid down on the bed and chatted with his mate.

After a little while he also conversed with his siblings through Caleb who worked like some mailbox. His sister’s were quite taller than the last time he saw them, but then again maybe due to Caleb’s smaller height it appeared so to him through his eyes. Once he was done chatting with the family, content that they were doing okay he fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, (or so he thought) he heard the sound of faint screams coming from a distance far apart. He was stuck in a closed place unable to get out no matter how much strength he applied. All he could do was lament as he sat in the closed space helplessly while forced to hear the screams of his loved ones.

As the sound got louder his struggle to get out increased no matter how tired he was. He was desperate for a way out but it only got harder. He heard a loud thud close to the door when suddenly he found his strength increased four fold and finally he broke free of the invisible cage.

He saw the entire place was covered in fire as multiple dead bodies lay on the ground. Some of them belonged to a few people he met in the pack, some of them were unknown. He froze in his spot as he saw two very similar looking people lying in the pile of ash as he recognised them by their half burned faces.

As if this wasn’t horrendous enough he a few steps away he saw both his parents lay dead next to his own mate. Suddenly everything vanished as he opened his eyes sweating profusely in this chilly weather.

“Why did I dream of that?” He asked himself. Never had he ever had this kind of dream in his entire life, then why now? Why now when he was so away from his family. Why did it have to be so tragic? He wondered when suddenly a drop of water fell on his hand. Looking at that drop he realised that Ashton had ended up crying.

Trying to take his mind off it, he went to the toilet and washed his face numerous times before staring at the mirror for a while. Like a living nightmare he heard those ominous noises once more which terrified him beyond anything. Was he still inside his dream? He wondered.

Opening the door to the balcony he saw everyone running around here and there. “What’s going on”? He asked, catching a frantic bellboy.

“There is the beast” he somehow mumbled before freeing himself from Ashton’s grip and ran.

Unsure of what he meant he stared at the empty corner from where everyone left. He tried to grab his luggage and escape but as soon as he took a few steps towards the same direction he heard growling noises. Ashton stopped in his tracks before turning back slowly.

Ashton’s eyes widened in shock and awe as he stared at the beast in front of him. It was as if looking into a mirror but instead of his human form it was wolf form. So all the myth of the Valestine Wolf was real?

The wolf took each step carefully as he approached Ashton. The way his eyes were focussed on Ashton was the way a Hyena traces his prey. When it was a feet distance from Ashton, it growled at him before pouncing at him. At that very moment Ashton returned from his stance and crouched down so that the wolf missed the hit.

The wolf was further irritated by his miss, but so was Ashton by the sudden attack. Without hesitation he let out his scent and soon his eyes turned into blazing red. The hungry wolf who was about to attack him paused and gazed at him curiously. Ashton on the other hand felt himself getting out of control as he turned into his wolf form. He remembers having a combat with the other wolf and thanks to Caleb’s training he was doing quite well. However the further he fought the further things started to turn hazy for him and before he knew everything turned into darkness for him.
