The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 124 - One Hundred And Twenty - Four : An Eye For An Eye

The offer was tempting but Lia knew vampires were predatory creatures who loved the cat and mouse game because of the thrill of the hunt; she would rather spend time with him than chase down some dumb kids because of the adrenaline boost.

Moreover since Rex was following that knucklehead Trevor, then he was sure to keep him from doing anything stupid.

"I don't think so and you know quite well, you and I have a lot to talk about " She told him and then saw him swallow just for a brief moment, why was he nervous?

Without warning, Asher firmly pulled her body against his and bowed his head, his cold breath sending shiver down her spine as his lips kissed his way down her neck in a caress.

Lia threw her head back and her toes curled up but as much as she enjoying this, she knew it was only a distraction

"Don't think you can use this avenue to get away from my question, it's not working " She told him straightforwardly albeit her heartbeat was a musical mess.

He stopped and stared into her eyes, surprised yet intrigued "Really? " he asked with a now excited glint in his eyes.

This is bad, Lia thought . She had awoken the sleeping lion.

Lia let out a gasp when she was pushed and pressed against the balcony railing and he crushed his lips to hers, kissing her senselessly while he ran his hand down the side of her face and slowly moved to caress the curve of her throat.

She shivered and hardly stifled a moan when she felt her environment swirl and next she found herself on her bed.

Her heart stopped dead and her face flushed when she saw him hovering over her, his dark gaze searching her face questioningly.

What's wrong? she wondered but he didn't give her time to think cause he captured her lips once more and kissed her passionately.

Lia knew she was swimming in a pool of ecstasy and her body was slowly craving him but there was much more important things to do than this at the moment.

Hands on his chest, she forcefully created some distance between them but when he stubbornly tried to dip his head towards her neck, she bared razor sharp teeth at him warningly.

Without her necklace on , she knew his desire to have her was intensified even though the kiss was initially a plan to distract her from asking questions.

She flipped him over and straddled his hips instead and ordered " Speak now "

But he drew a deep breath saying," You can't go to school without the necklace, your scent is a special invitation to any supernatural creature ten meters within you "

He was moving away from the topic again but as much as she wanted to punch him, this issue was relevant as well.

"I figured that out , though I'll have to come up with a pretty reasonable excuse to convince my mom to let me stay home "

Asher smiled, a mischievous smile that told her he was up-to no good.

"What? " She asked, her eyes narrowed but he simply wrapped his arms around her waist and sat up with her still attached to his hips.

His lips curled up " I have this concortion "

Her brows raised interestedly.

"It makes vampires sick "

She frowned " But vampires don't get sick "

" Yeah but we used it to cover our tracks over the years when humans became too suspicious of our uncanny appearance and temperature "

"Oh , no wonder " She murmured " So what does it do? "

"Usually taken in a small quantity cause it induces a fever, but it's extremely torturous to vampires because it alters our body temperature. It makes your inside feel like burning mountain lava but I think you'll take a higher dose since you're half vampire " Asher explained but she couldn't help but gulp nervously.

Hybrid or not, what if it worked either ways and she was about to swallow a molten lava down her throat.

"What happens if one takes a larger quantity? " Lia asked curiously.

Asher shook his head " No vampire is sane enough to try that unless you want to burst into flames and as a matter of fact, the drug is called ' Sunshine ' for that reason "

" What about my necklace? Did you get it from Raphael? " She asked unexpectedly and as expected, Asher's countenance changed.

"I recovered it from him but it suffered some damages, Dan would have it repaired at Sabrina's tomorrow " he answered but she sensed an edge to his voice.

She leaned closer towards him and whispered into his ears " Care to tell me about your relationship with Raphael now? This cat and mouse game is getting tiring "

Lia then pulled back a little but didn't look away, she had her gaze trained on him, scrutinizing his every expression.

She felt him withdrawing, trying to put up his shield and was quick to say " You know you can't hide it from me forever Asher. I'll find out sooner or later and thankfully Ben is a blabbermouth " She reminded him tactically before adding " Please "

His eyes bore into her's and his tongue flicked out to touch his lower lips, a gesture she would have found extremely sexy If she wasn't hell bent on ripping the truth out of his mouth.

" Fine " He breathed but asked " Are you sure you want to keep sitting on me as the story goes on ?"

Contrary to his expectation, she wrapped her arms around his neck and shrugged "I'm cool "

Asher readjusted his position and started " My father stole a mate "

Lia stiffened before she took a deep breath and urged him to continue.

"My father Antonio and Raphael's mother Helen were lovers and planned settling down for eternity but it turns out fate suddenly gifted her a mate ; my father's friend, Ezekiel aka Raphael's father.

Resisting the matebond is literally impossible and so she succumbed to Ezekiel and all went well until - "

" Your Father took her away " Lia completed with horror on her face " And that's the same thing Raphael wants to do, an eye for an eye "
