Alpha Asher by Jane
Chapter 177
Chapter 177
“What’s with Vampire’s and abandoned warehouses?” I asked, speaking to no one in particular.
The breaks of the rusty minivan we were crammed into squealed as we pulled into a handicap space close to the front doors. I could make out the symbol painted on the spot, though it had faded over time.
Within the parking lot were a few cars, but most looked like junkers rather than functioning vehicles. There weren’t any windows apart from the ones that lined the front, but they were blacked out by scraps of cardboard boxes and old newspapers.
“This one won’t be half as luxurious as your father’s.” Tristan muttered at my side; his face marred in a permanent scowl.
From the front seat, Dina snorted. She turned around and glared at Tristan.
“With how flimsy your loyalty is, you got no room to be judging anybody, Tristan.” The pale-haired
Vampire at my side lifted an eyebrow, but Dina didn’t falter in her rant. “That’s right, I know you. You don’t know me, though. I was a nobody back then, a body for her father’s military.” She jutted her chin in my direction. “I saw you a couple times, scramblin’ to obey the King and all his whims. It’s ironic you’re doin ’ the same for his daughter now, isn’t it?”
I wanted to come to Tristan’s defense, and I had planned to, but Dina’s words struck a chord in my chest that left me silent.
Tristan had been my father’s right-hand man. He’d been closest to him, even though my father trusted absolutely no one. Part of me wondered if Tristan’s loyalty to me had anything to do with the mark that sat on my neck, or his lingering hopes that I would choose him over Asher.
I didn’t have to wonder for long if Tristan would speak up.
“Thank you, Dina, for dredging up the years I spent serving a monster who deserved not a speck of the loyalty he received. Everything you said was correct. I don’t remember you because I never cared to look your way. As you’ve already stated, I was busy trying to prove my worth to a King who viewed us all as disposable.” He said with a clipped tone.
The pale blues of his eyes glittered menacingly as he leaned forward in his seat. Dina remained rooted in place, but from the harsh set of her jaw and the way her grip tightened on the arm rest, I knew she was preparing herself for if he decided to attack.
“Our new Queen, she doesn’t see us as disposable. I might’ve had to prove my loyalty to her, but never my worth.” 1
