Aston

Chapter 12

Hey guys I am back! The picture above is a new character that you will meet in this chapter! So enjoy!

Aston walked through the darkening hallway, the sunblockers closing with every step the group walked towards the back of the packhouse, the tiger aware that Bianca was delayed due to the sunlight. Beside him, his mate stayed close, their footsteps echoing from the sounds of their feet on the dark hardwood that paved their way to their destination. Without having to look next to him, Aston knew that Nicolai's eyes bore into the back of Ransom's darkly clothed muscular back, burning holes into the expensive clothing. The sun blockers closed ahead of them catching the tiger's attention, the hallway darkening slightly from the lack of light, the surrounding light fixtures instantly lighting.

"You know," Aston stated, gaining his mates attention, "This feature of the house still amazes me, the way that everything happens in such a fluid motion is astounding."

"Always the observant one, mi gatito" Ransom answered, earning a glare from Nicolai.

"I'm guessing that this is all for Bianca and her people?" Nicolai looked at Aston, knowing that he would rather hear from his mate than the wolf.

"Yes they are" Ransom interjected, feeling a knowing look that emitted from Aston's hazel gaze, "We use soft lighting for when Bianca and her coven visit, but the main feature are the sun blockers, they are what keep them safe during their daily visits. Aston, do you not have them at the compound as well?"

"You do?" Nicolai looked at his mate with a raised brow.

"Yeah we do. You and the others never got to see them because the vampires didn't visit while you were there. If they had then we would have used them" Aston replied softly smiling at his mate.

The more they moved through the packhouse, the more the sun blockers had become set, the creaminess of the walls of the home becoming more evident from the now luminescent lighting. The feeling of warmth and comfort returned to Aston, the pack home thick with a familiar feeling that the tiger had felt he missed during their whole ordeal in the office; it had now returned. His hazel eyes looked ahead towards the end of the hallway that they had now turned into, a set of large cherry Mahogany doors came into view, their monstrous stature a sight to behold as they stood towering over the two figures before them. The two figures were foreign to the tiger, he had never seen the duo before today, their identities suddenly becoming very intriguing to the tiger alpha.

The first figure was a man that stood with an ethereal elegance, an aura that surrounded his body nonchalantly radiating a beauty that could be only deemed as intimidating, the man's bright almost white eyes the biggest indication. He stood at eye level with Aston, his hazel eyes meeting the bright eyes without hesitation, the intenseness of his stare made the tiger tense with caution. The man wore a burgundy cashmere turtleneck that fit closely to his lithe muscular frame, the color contrasting with his wild curly locks that surrounded his strong angular face. His legs were supple and long yet they looked strong from years of work, the black dress pants falling perfectly against them showing off their extravagance. His cold demeanor screamed something that Aston only deemed to be the most logical answer; Vampire.

But, who was this man?

Next to him stood an equally as beautiful man, his features screaming of the wilderness as his long dark hair flowed around his shoulders. His black eyes watched the large group approach him and his counterpart, taking in their movements and inspecting them with an intensity that slightly unnerved Aston. He wore a navy collared button up that was crafted with a miniscule rich autumn floral pattern that appeared the closer that the leaders got to them, his pants matching the theme of the other. The tiger alpha continued to watch the wild looking man, noticing his eyes travel over them until they came across Ransom. The man's body stiffened. His nose flared up along with a pointed glare at the wolf alpha, the actions confusing Aston as they reached the duo.
