Chapter 123 - One Hundred And Twenty-three: The Stalkers

"I met Shawn today and we seem to have a lot to discuss. There has been much influx of vampires into Little Town lately unlike werewolves who liked to remain in their pack.

Though they haven't committed any crimes yet but I simply don't like them ; disgusting blood sucking creatures .

Unfortunately, Shawn is persuading me to stay back in little Town and went to the extent of purchasing a house for me .

But I don't want to, I didn't like being tied down , moreover there were lots of supernatural presence in little Town than other towns and wouldn't be suitable for the safety of my family ; I don't ever want my family here.

Thankfully, Shawn doesn't know I have a family yet else he would've tried to involve and perhaps used that opportunity to get them down here as well.

I don't want this kind of life for my kids and yes, I'm a thrill seeker but my life's constantly on the line here and I can't predict the outcome whenever I go on this missions, which is why I'm going to keep them far away from this place, they must never know what I do for a living.

Thankfully Shawn had a one track mind so he was easily distracted when I brought up another topic .

Since I was back for a short while, I had to join them in the mission tonight and we had already received a tip-off that some dark witches were having a gathering tonight .

We didn't need to guess their venue, it was probably the Haunted House of Little Town. Though onlookers and locals might see the place as just some eerie ground but we knew otherwise.

That Haunted House has been there for generations and contains incredible demonic energy that supplies and intensifies a dark witch powers after a blood ritual is performed and thanks to that, is considered a sacred ground.

After the purge, all dark witches have gone into hiding cause we hunted them like animals and swore to exterminate till the very last of them.

All forbidden spells were confiscated and destroyed - "

Lia's head jerked to the side while she closed the diary just as a soft breeze wheezed by ; Someone had come into her room without her permission as usual.

"If you keep sneaking in like this, I'll really think you're a pervert " Lia said to Asher who was standing in the middle of her room.

"It's not like I can stand on the front?porch and await your welcome at this time of the night " He joked, lifted the duvet and climbed into the bed with her.

Lia scooted a bit to the middle of the bed in order to create space for him, her senses reeling with the awareness of his body pressed beside her's.

" Why aren't you asleep yet? I was hoping to slip in unnoticed - "

"So you can leave unnoticed too ? " She interjected with an accusing gaze.

Asher gave her a questioning look "Leave unnoticed too? "

Lia bit the inside of her mouth " Daniel too he....." She faltered on purpose, it was obvious he had understood what she was trying to say.

Asher said under his breath " It seems we might have missed a rule "

She looked up at him confused " Huh? "

"Nothing " he murmured and gathered her warm body into his arms and Lia had to admit, his cool skin felt ridiculously right against her's.

She suddenly wondered if he has ever realised his skin was a straight giveaway to people who would want to prove he's a vampire .

But she was jerked out of her thought when Asher dropped a lingering kiss on her neck saying " You're distracted "

She sighed " Yeah, I have a lot of thoughts running through my head right now and the worst part is that I can't seem to focus on one "

Asher glanced up at her " What's troubling you Lia ? "

" I'm scared "

He was taken aback by her sudden confession, his mate was one of the strongest person he has ever seen; someone able to take on Raphael? Definitely one of a kind.

"Why are you scared my love? " He asked and smoothed away the curls that clung to her face in a careful manner, as if a careless swipe his finger would hurt her.

Lia breathed " I'm scared that - "

Suddenly, she felt a shift in Asher's countenance, he wasn't giving her his attention and was about to speak up when he asked,

" Why is your brother sneaking out of the house? "

Lia was dumbfounded, then she closed her eyes and focused and finally picked up a sound, someone was sneaking out of the house. What the heck

She turned to face Asher wide-eyed "How did you know it's my brother Trevor? "

Asher was amused and his lips easily curled into a smile " Easy as pie " he said and went on " His footsteps are nimble , light and guarded; he's making sure not to get noticed and unlike your mother who wouldn't be as agile as you guys cause of -"

"There's a second one " Lia put in , drawing an impressed smile from Asher's mouth.

Her brows furrowed together as she gave all her attention to the information her sharp ears were feeding her " The second footstep is more lighter , though experienced but alert and I'm guessing that belongs to my brother Rex, he must have caught Trevor escaping and decided to follow after him "

"Where do you think they're going to? " He asked and then vamp sped to her balcony before she could blink her eyes.

Impressed, she copied his action too and found herself standing beside him and staring out from her verandah .

"There they are " He pointed towards their direction and her eyes followed his gesture.

Lia scrunched up her nose " I wonder what they both are up-to ? " She wondered, watching her brother turn his head left and right cautiously before going to God knows where while the little one was busy tailing him.

She looked up and caught a glint in Asher's eyes as he offered " We could stalk them you know, what do you say ? "
