The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 88 - Eighty-Eight : Love Rival

He must be crazy, Asher thought. Why did he leave the girl with Daniel? He knew perfectly well that werewolves were naturally aggressive, vicious and unpredictable creatures. What if Daniel's wolf takes control and he goes back on this word by marking and mating with the girl?

God, he was going crazy.

When Asher reached his place, he was surprised to see Ben, Dan, Sabrina and Zukai all in one place - What an odd combination.

" What's going on? " He questioned, walking into the living room and plonking down on the nearest sofa, he was mentally exhausted.

"Nothing " They all answered in unison.

Definitely strange.

He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at them but didn't say anything. Dan was the most responsible amongst the four, so if he says nothing is wrong - he must have settled the issues already.

Ben thought his heart was going to leap out of his chest when Asher's eyes suddenly locked on his.What now?Did he figure out everything? He has no idea about the cellphone, right?

"Follow me " Asher suddenly ordered him and began to walk towards the direction of his study while Ben swallowed hard.

Ben secretly threw a what's - going - on - gaze at the others but they simply shrugged and gave him an I-have - no-clue expression in return.

Unknown to them, Asher saw their eye communication and his lips curled into a smirk, something did happen during his absence but that was not his priority at the moment.

Ben walked behind Asher at a slow pace, his head was lowered while his heart was engaged in an internal battle. Why did Asher call only him? Did he find out about the cellphone ? Was he about to be skinned alive? Oh no, he can't die yet! He hasn't even finished experimenting his theories on Lia yet, so he can't die!

" Sit !"

Ben flinched on hearing his grim command, nevertheless he obeyed. Moving slowly, he eyed the cushion with caution incase of booby traps.

Oh yes, you heard him right. He has to search for traps - Asher was the most dangerous whenever he has this blank expression on his face.

So Ben sat down with a little of his weight at first to test his theory, but when nothing happened, he sat fully.

What next.

But 'what next ' remained a huge mystery cause for the next ten minutes Asher didn't say a word to him.

The silence was so heavy and nerve-wracking that Ben thought he was going to pee in his pant, the guy made all the hairs on his body stand.

Asher just stood in the middle of the room, regarding him with this stern expression intently.

Just when Ben thought he couldn't endure his hot scrutinizing gaze anymore and decided to spill the beans, Asher asked a strange question.

" You're Lia's friend, right? "

" Huh? " Ben was startled for a? moment, and then composed himself. Was this some sort of mental torture? what does him being Lia's friend have to do with this intense interrogation?

" Yes" Ben choked a reply.

" Who would she choose? " Asher asked with a very serious gaze on his face.

" Eeh? "

Asher turned to face him "The vampire or the werewolf, who would she choose? "

Ben scratched his scalp nervously, what was going on here? why did he feel that this question was more dangerous than the secret he was keeping from Asher

"Umm, I'll need a bit of a background information in order to answer your question" Ben answered, his heart in his mouth when he saw Asher's sour face darken the more.

He knew Asher was the vampire, then who was the werewolf? Why would Lia choose between him and a werewolf? Unless he was referring to Lia's vampiric and were-side .

Bingo, he figured it out.

"I think Lia likes her vampire side than her werewolf side, judging from her likeness for blood " Ben said and he swore, Asher's face that was as sour as vinegar moments ago lit up like Christmas.

"Really? " Asher asked with gleamy eyes.

"Yes, according to my hypothesis : I think her vampiric side has more dominance than her were-side.Talk of her thirst for blood, eye changes and lately, she's becoming nocturnal -not because her internal clocks out-of-whack and can not sleep but because she's gradually turning out to be like you guys "

"Just as I thought " Asher said, and his face crease into an huge smile of relief . It wasn't just a myth but the truth - vampires don't sleep. Though they might pretend to rest with their eyes closed, but let not your guard down; they're as active as a griffin .

"So you're trying to say if she one-day has to choose between the werewolf and the vampire, she would take 'me' the vampire? " he asked and simpered.

"Yeah, probably " Ben said but frowned afterwards, wondering why Asher was anthropomorphising the whole thing.

Wait a minute, Ben gasped internally as he stumbled upon a startling realization. Did Asher have a love rival? possibly a werewolf? O.M.G

" You can leave then " Asher dismissed Ben before he could say anything else.

Though he had a lot of questions on his mind, Ben could only swallow his curiosity and hope to figure them out on his own in a space of time. He couldn't afford to trifle Asher, especially now he was suddenly magnanimous.

So the chatterbox Ben went back to the living room without gushing a word.

"What happened? " Everyone surrounded him like bees drawn to honey, with twinkling eyes, their full gossip mode activated.

Ben shook his head, unsure "He was strange?"

"Strange? " They all chorused.

Ben walked to the sofa and sat down while they trailed along, each occupying any space they could find and encircling him.

"So what happened? " She-zukai who had transformed in a twinkle of an eye proded , It was quite obvious she forced her way in - Zukai was never a gossip.

"It was quite weird and cryptic " Ben murmured " By chance, does Asher have a love rival?"

"Huh? "

"Love rival?"

"Why would he? Asher could easily crush him, afterall it runs in the famil....." She-zukai trailed off when she realized she has disclosed more than was needed.

Everyone faced her. All eyes on her.

Uh-oh
