Stimulated by the enhanced vision that Violet shared with him, Ashton could see Edgar's right hand glowing in yellowish light, and he reached there before he could finish that thought.
"What…?" Edgar's question was cut short when Ashton punched him on the shoulder, and the unsuspecting young Alpha was propelled backward like a sledgehamr hit him.
Ashton was amazed by the discovery that with his perception changing, his movents beca sharper, and it seed he got a boost in strength. Or maybe that was the mate bond giving him a boost, combined with Violet's mark. After all, her venom was part of him now.
Ashton flexed his fingers, and he was confident that he could crush a rock with ease. What about a werewolf skull?
He decided to analyze that later. Now it was ti to whoop so ass and prove himself, without causing serious injuries to Violet's cousins. They were a family.
Valeria stared at Edgar, who was tumbling from Ashton's hit. That was not normal. Edgar was an Alpha with a special ability that allowed him to move faster than his impressive physique would allow. How was Ashton able to subdue him with one hit?
She rushed to her brother. "Are you OK?"
Edgar spat on the side and jumped to his feet. "Do I look OK?" His right arm was numb.
He narrowed his eyes at Ashton. "How did he do that? And he is not even looking!" Other than Edgar's shoulder, his pride was also hurt, and it riled him to take this seriously. Unless it was a fluke, Ashton was a bigger challenge than Edgar thought he would be.
"It's Vi," Valeria said. "I'm sure she is channeling so ability into Ash." Why else would her eyes be closed?
"So, we need to take her out first," Edgar said.
Valeria smirked. "Wasn't that the plan from the beginning?" Ashton foolishly proclaid that if they managed to put a finger on Violet, he would admit defeat.
Who would accept such a la victory? Violet and Ashton will need to suffer a heavy defeat.
Valeria and Edgar didn't need their mind link to communicate. The twins were close, and they knew what the other one was thinking without a word spoken.
Valeria and Edgar started walking away from each other, splitting up so they could attack from different sides.
'Vi!' Ashton called only for her to hear. 'I am fast, but I can't be in two places at the sa ti.' It was obvious what Valeria and Edgar were up to.
'Don't worry, Ash. Go for Ed first. I will delay Val enough so you can get to her also.'
'I don't want you to fight,' Ashton grumbled. He wanted to win this victory for her, in front of her people.
'You can't expect to stay idle when my mate is facing opponents,' Violet responded. 'I am not fighting. I'm letting you borrow my power. Think of as your assistant.'
Ashton turned to face her, and his breath hitched. He didn't open his eyes, but he could clearly see that Violet was enveloped in pure white energy that was coiling around her like an impenetrable shield. It seeped from her feet into the ground to touch everyone and everything and stretch as far as his senses could take him.
Violet was standing there like a Goddess of wind and light, and Ashton was confident that she was the center of the Universe.
'You are beautiful,' he said.
'You are not so bad yourself,' she responded.
Ashton raised his hands to see that he was also made of energies, but he had several colors, and they were sotis flowing together and sotis would bounce off each other. There were white streaks in him as well, and he knew those were from Violet. She was stabilizing his powers and making his light brighter, just how she brightened up his life.
'Do you have the luxury of ti to idle?' Violet asked Ashton.
'I always have ti for you, my love,' he responded in a deep voice that made her stomach tighten.
He was such a flirt.
'They are coming,' Violet warned him, and he could see two figures made of light approaching them.
Valeria and Edgar were similar to Violet, but their glow paled in comparison to Violet's.
Ashton puffed his chest proudly. No one was as beautiful or as powerful as his mate.
Valeria sneered. She didn't know that Ashton and Violet could talk ntally, but it was obvious that they were doing sothing. Ashton and Violet were facing each other, Ashton was smirking, and Violet was blushing. Valeria felt like cursing loudly. How dare those two look down on them!?
'Together,' Valeria told Edgar, who responded with a small nod.
Ashton sensed that Valeria and Edgar were about to attack, and he wanted to ask Violet what her plan was, but then he saw her energies thickening in the direction of Valeria, and he knew that his task was to handle Edgar.
Ashton stood so still that even his heartbeat was reduced to a crawl, and it seed like the whole world slowed down.
Ashton would enjoy the clarity if he were not in the middle of an important show of strength.
Ashton's muscles tensed, and he moved so quickly that he beca a blur.
Edgar grinned as he leaped toward Violet, confident that he was about to grab her, but then a big hand covered his face.
"What the…?" The rest of Edgar's curse was muffled in Ashton's palm as the latter pushed him to the ground.
Valeria's mood soared when she realized that Ashton was focusing on Edgar. It ant that Violet was unguarded, and she only needed to touch her in order to win.
Valeria was about to shout in victory when a sudden gust of wind pushed her back, and her legs were so heavy like soone had cented them to the ground.
Valeria's delay was less than a second, but it was enough for Ashton to stand in front of her.
Ashton held Edgar by his face, and his right hand landed on Valeria's neck.
"AHH!"
Valeria scread in shock when Ashton pushed her down viciously, and he held both Edgar and Valeria to the ground like they were children. The twins wanted to break free, but every ti they moved a limb, a fierce current would rush through their bodies like they were being painfully electrocuted. They couldn't muster any strength to resist.
The audience held their breath collectively as they were unsure of what had happened. Ashton and Violet were facing each other with their eyes closed, and Valeria and Edgar attacked from opposite sides, but then they were pressed to the ground with Ashton holding them, and Violet standing behind him with her arms crossed over her chest.
No one knew that the young Alpha of the Spring Leaf pack was this powerful, and they were all glad to confirm he was Alpha Violet's mate, which ant he will be their Alpha also.
"Do you admit defeat?" Violet asked smugly.
Not many had seen this side of her. Only a few people knew Violet inherited her mother's powers and her father's temper. It was a deadly combination.
Violet would normally be sweet and docile, but that was only because she didn't care to bother with things like proving herself. However, now she had Ashton, and there was no way she would allow any woman to look at him inappropriately, even if that woman was her cousin.
