59 Chapter Fifty- Nine: Asher likes Ben

" No, its too risky " Asher objected right away

Lia threw her hands up in the air frustrated "The Mandurugo took my blood and nothing happened "

"Yeah, that was until I discovered you have werewolf blood in you and -"

Lia cut in "I also have vampire blood "

Asher stared her straight in the eye challengingly "He needs human blood "

Lia didn't back down , she held his gaze "You haven't tasted mine "

"No one's tasting yours " he said deceively and looked away "I'll look for another way "

But Lia grabbed his arm "What's the problem here? it's not like I would die if he takes my blood? " she asked noticing the way his eyes kept flashing diverse emotions.

"Yeah Asher, answer the girl. What are you hiding from her? " Dan cajoled, a wily grin on his face.

Jaw clenched tightly and hands fisted, Asher felt the urge to punch the daylight out of that stupid Dan. This was why vampires hated werewolf venoms, it made them say and do stupid things. Not to mention, it heightens their dark side.

Unlike vampires, werewolf dies from vampire venom once it reaches the heart unless taken out or consuming an antidote prepared by a witch.

Vampire's death weren't immediate due to the fact they were undead creatures, they didn't possess a beating heart that would faster the movement of the venom .

"Fine then " Asher spat coldly "Do whatever you want " He said and grabbed a seat, sat down in irritation with his arms folded across his chest.

Dan approached the girl, a lewd smile on his face "I need your neck "

"Like hell you would " Asher growled and stood at once. Glaring daggers at Dan, he kicked the poor boy at the back of his knee joint .

Lia swore she heard the sound of his kneecap snap, forcing him into a kneeling position right in front of her.

"That's more like it " Asher said with a sinister smirk. He took the girl's wrist and bit down on it producing blood.

Dan salivated the moment he saw the warm red liquid trickle down her arm, he almost rushed her if Asher hadn't given him a warning glare.

"Gently and slowly " Asher warned with gritted teeth when Dan placed the girl's bloodied wrist against his lips and began to feed.

Once the warm liquid entered his throat, a frenzy began. Dan gasped with delight and began to suckle the liquid greedily, ruthlessly puncturing a hole with his fangs whenever her wrist healed up.

Lia bit her lower lip to stifle the cry in her throat whenever he tore open her wrist with his sharp fangs.

"That's enough! " Asher ordered after a while, tearing him away from her.

Feeling lightheaded, Lia used the wall as support as she tried to fight the dizziness off, it seems Dan drank more than he should .

Dan looked around in apparent disbelief, memories of what transpired moments ago drowning his mind.

Guilt and shame assaulted him making him look like one who was caught jerking off in a public washroom.

"It's not your fault " Asher tried to comfort him upon seeing the shadow of guilt in his eyes.

But Dan would not hear of it, if there was anything he pride himself on, it was his extreme self control.

Just like Asher, the both have mastered the skill of resisting the lust of human blood. It was more easier losing your rationality to feeding than controlling the urges , which is why vampires with extreme self control as a special ability were envied, they could easily blend into any human community .

And he was almost perfect at mastering that skill until the girl came in, tempting every ounce of control he had, with her intoxicating scent until he finally gave in.

He teleported away and for the first time in so many years switched to his telepathic ability, needing the numerous voices running through his head as some sort of distraction.

"You think he hates me? " Lia choked a question. she saw the look on Dan's face, it was filled with anger, shame and disappointment.

"Nay, don't mind him. He's going to spend his time wallowing in self-pity but don't worry much, he'll come around" Asher answered nonchalantly, busy with tiding up his office.

Lia frowned, why did he seem so unconcerned about Dan? He should be out there, searching and comforting the poor guy. "And you're going to do nothing? This is Dan we're talking here "

Asher sighed and plonked down on his plushy swivel chair.

He started as a matter of fact " Trust me Lia, what just happened is so yesterday. I've being with this guys for hundreds of years, long before your great grandfather were even born. This is not the first time this has happened, he've been there, done that. So not much to worry about darling"

Lia didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his speech was informative as well as sarcastic , not to mention the fact she forgot she was dealing with an ancestor.

She was about to argue the point when Ben roused himself. Crap! she forgot he was here.

" Vampire! " Ben said and awoke with a start. He sat up trying to take in his environment, he was in some sort of office that looked a lot like their principal's office.

Oh, it was their principal's office, he realized.

And there was the principal and - Holy crap! His goddess but wait a minute, why were they looking at him with looks he couldn't even describe.

"We do need to erase his memories, right? " Asked Lia gesturing a finger towards her head in a circular motion.

"Of course, he saw Dan in his vampiric form " Asher answered but he knew Sabrina would be needed for that. The girl might be naive but she wasn't dumb enough to fall for his undisruptable order of a thing again.

" And your undisruptable order thing can't work on someone who isn't part of your clan , right? "

Just as he thought.

"Yes " He nodded a positive answer

Ben watched the duo with a stunned expression, their conversation were more confusing than revealing but he was able to pick out some points.

Dan? a vampire ?! erase one's memories? Wait a minute, were they talking about erasing his memories!

" Vampires are real?! " Ben asked enthusiastically if one might say.

"Shush Ben, the adults are talking " Lia reprimanded him before refocusing all her attention on Asher.

"No, this is awesome! vampires are real! You guys do exist! I knew it! "

This time his zealous screams grabbed Asher's attention

"I like this guy " he commented.

Lia gave him a long stare "Seriously? "

Asher rubbed his jaw thoughtfully "He's taking the news well, first time seeing such a scene in my entire years of existence "

"The principal is a vampire too? " Ben gasped in astonishment , circling Asher. "I'm a huge fan of the supernatural, I've watched every supernatural movies ever produced, read tons of paranormal books and comics but to discover you guys are real ... "

A blow from the back knocked the poor guy out, again.

"What was that for?! " Asher snapped.

" I should be asking you that !" She sassed back " We were talking about erasing his memories not watch him gush about his fanatic love for supernaturals"

Asher frowned, pointing to his chest " This is the first time I'm getting a diehard human fan"

A tide of rage surged through lia but she took deep, slow breaths. Calm Lia, calm down.

Did he think this was some joke?

But unfortunately, Asher continued, completely unaware of the volcano about to erupt.

"Talking of which, I think he would make a good sidekick for you "

And that was all it took for her to explode.
