Chapter 11

Ashby was on his second slice of pizza when he felt it. At first it felt like a tugging, a slight pull. But then the pull became twists in his soul and he started to feel bruised. He was rubbing his chest when David spoke.

“Ashby? What’s wrong? Oh God were you poisoned again!” David demanded, staring aghast at the half eaten pizza in front of them.

“What’s wrong?” Baptista asked, stepping forward from the doorway to put a hand on Ashby’s forehead.

“I feel strange, but not like before. It’s like someone is pulling on my insides,” Ashby explained.

“Oh right, because that sounds so much better,” Daniel quipped.

“It’s not a sharp pain, more like a terrible sense of wrongness. I don’t know how to explain it.” Ashby frowned. Above them a dreadful roar reverberated throughout the entire club. Ashby looked at the twins and Baptista.

“I thought the VIP rooms were soundproof?” Daniel asked, sounding scared.

“They are,” Baptista confirmed. Ashby rubbed his chest.

“There he is! Thank God he’s OK!” Roman yelled from the doorway. He was holding his left arm which dangled at a wrong angle and his chest was covered in deep bloody furrows.

“Ashby, Gabriel needs you upstairs now!” Roman yelled. Ashby stood and took off down the hallway and up the stairs to the VIP level. He saw coven members standing outside the conference-room door visibly shaken. Ashby approached the doorway and stopped when Montana was thrown through the air from the conference room to slam into the wall in the hallway. He fell to the floor covered in plaster and dust and didn’t move. Another roar was heard, and Ashby clapped his hands over his ears.

“Is this him? Is this his mate?” a shrill voice demanded.

“Yes, this is our Prince Ashby,” Baptista said from behind Ashby, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Good, send him in there. He can calm him down,” the stranger said.

“I am not sending Ashby in there with some unknown assailant, where is Prince Gabriel?” Baptista demanded. A low guttural snarl was heard.

“That is Coven Leader Dorian to you, roughneck. That creature you hear is your Prince Gabriel. We were in the middle of our meeting when he started snarling and growling before he lost his mind. If this man is his mate, he may be the only one who can approach the prince in this state,” he explained.

“Let me go! I have to get to him, he sounds like he’s in pain!” Ashby twisted out from under Baptista’s steadying hand and ran into the conference room only to stop dead in his tracks. The room was trashed. A man he had never met before lay on the floor unconscious as Lauri, Rhys and two other men stood in a semicircle around a creature.

“Easy Ashby, Prince Gabriel has shifted to his most primal state, he may not recognize even you,” Baptista said as he eased into the conference room and stood behind Ashby.

“Lauri, report,” Baptista called out.

“Mid-meeting Gabriel started to growl. First his eyes shifted to red, then his hands grew claws.
