"Here you go. I left some special ointments and squeezed herbs, apply them on the sore areas when you feel any pain." The healer told me to bow his head in respect. "Thank you." I nodded weakly. I woke up not quite long, thanks to the healer's needles that pricked me to wake up.

"Hey, how do you feel?" Quincy walked towards the bed.

"I feel better, thank you."

"So... Do you mind telling me what happens now?"

I tensed immediately, as my heart started racing slowly. He placed his palms above mine and I became still for a second.

I narrated everything to him, from breakfast to the cave, then to the wolves and my miraculous escape.

"How much of a drama queen Levi be?" He asked no one in particular as he rolled his eyes, his arms folded across his chest.

I laughed at that, drama queen was a subtle word to be used on a devil like Levi. A drama queen would only perform her drama amongst people she was comfortable with.

"Amery, move in with me. I'll protect you, Levi won't be able to harm you here." His question shocked me out of my reverie, I tried so hard to make it less evident on my face. If I succeeded I wasn't sure of that. "W-what? This is the biggest joke I have heard today." I stated, sarcasm lacing my voice.

"I am not joking. I am being serious, move in here and I'll protect you." He repeated his mini speech again.

"No. I can't." I sighed, facing another direction not wanting to see the hurt flash through his expression.

I can't move in here, I wasn't comfortable when I am close to him. He knowingly or unknowingly knocks out my control and makes mr feel vulnerable, which is no good. "W-h-y? Why can't you move in here?" He asked, his eye darting around my face. "You don't trust me, right? But why? I would do anything to protect you and stand by you." The displeasure I felt now was familiar to the tugging in my stomach when Asher attacked him.

Which reminds me.

"Where's Asher? It's odd, I haven't seen him for a while." I asked out of the blues.

A dark frown mapped around his face immediately, his eyes stared deeply at me like he wanted to see through my body and into my soul.

Well, I know I just asked a question that I should never have asked. It is not like I have no idea about what sort of relationship that the three brothers shared simply because of me. Having a full knowledge of that, I know it is not just the right thing to do. In the eyes of Quincy right now is the look of a person who was deeply angry.

Though, anger would not be the proper word to make use of in this case. Quincy was just jealous. It had to be nothing else if not jealousy.

He was jealous of his brother at this point.

"Quincy, listen. I did not mean to-"

Before I can complete the remaining words that I had in mind to say, he cut me off.

"You have no issues to be worried about." He smiled. " you can leave here the very moment your wounds are completely healed. Do you understand?" He asked with a little bit of a stern voice.

Before I could bring myself to give him any sort of explanation about the reason he was being jealous about, he was already storming out of the room.

From the way he was walking, anyone would easily see that he was in a bad mood at that moment. I ciuld felt the way he was feeling the mo. He was definitely hurt. He did nothing but ask me a very harmless question.

Maybe I could really trust him. Well, I can't see any reason for it but I do care about Asher. I care more about him than any of the two, Levi, who was my nightmare, and Quincy, who at this point in time, I can't really tell if I really trust him or not.

He might not really be the bad guy that he has been seeming to be. However the point remains that I can't bring myself ge totally free around him.

"Hmm." I exhaled tiredly, my hands covering my face.

Anyways, he has walked away already. Right now, I just have to go and see Asher. I have missed him. But that was not the only reason I was going to meet him.

I wanted to confront, perhaps, yell at him. Though we were not smooth at the moment, I knew he just had to be the only person I would always feel really free around.

What was anyone expecting?

Asher gave me his hand at a point when I desperately needed it. If not for any other reason, I just have to be in good terms with him.

In the next couple of moments, I was striding towards the apartment of Asher. It did not take so long before I was able to carry myself to his room.

On getting to the door, I noticed that it was not locked. It was just ajar. Asher didn't normally leave his room to be open. In fact, none of the three brothers normally left his door open. They valued their privacy a lot.

On getting closer, my ears caught sounds.

What's that? I thought.

I could hear the tense breathing of people and the groaning of a man. When I walked in, I was completely iced. I didn't expect this from Asher.

Right on his bed, he lay down with the mouth of his maid trying to swallow his m*****d.

Damn it!

"Would you want to join?" Asher asked, feeling relaxed.

I turned a dashed out of the apartment. I was heartbroken. I expected him to have been shocked. But he wasn't. In fact, he insulted me. For a reason can't tell, tears began to roll down my cheek.
