Chapter 175 - One Hundred And Seventy-five : Who Won Now?

"What do you have that I don't have?"

"A dead heart? " Asher answered him.

Daniel gave him a dirty look, "That's not funny"

"What were you expecting? "

Daniel sighed and ran his hands through his hair, purposely ruffling it. "What are we going to do? This time you stopped her, but then who knows what she would do next? "

"You need to train her, she needs to learn control," Asher said to him with a thoughtful look.

"Well, I did think of that but the problem is that little Town is not conducive for a werewolf who wants to stay under the radar; it's easier for you vampires since you wouldn't need to transform into a giant furry form and walk down the streets " he explained

"So you need her in Kinney village" Asher understood what he was trying to say.

Unlike the locals in Little Town, the Kinney villagers had more knowledge about supernatural creatures, especially werewolves since it was their territory - The were- creatures hardly accept other species into their pack unless one earns their loyalty.

Most of the residents were werewolves while a quarter of the human population were mated to the creatures and the rest of the unmated humans lived harmoniously with them albeit with rules.

Although Little Town could have been like that, the settling of different species made that harmony a lot more difficult to achieve.

Ignorance is bliss, it was better for the humans to remain that way. Humans were weak and selfish beings, who when acting under fear would go to any length to exterminate anything they judged as a threat to their existence.

"Lia would be freer to be whoever she wants there in my pack and it would be rehabilitating for her wolf. Letting her wolf out by going for a run might just be the therapy she needs. " Daniel explained.

"Just like a human would get cranky after being cooped up in the house all day, our wolves react that way too - they need space. Also, her wolf is an adventurer; those types of wolf desire freedom and fun."

Lia could always go out for a run in the forest in Little Town but there were eyes everywhere, coupled with the fact she had to hide the fact she was a hybrid made things so complicated - not to talk of her family that always has their eyes on her.

"And with the school on, it would be impossible to convince my mother-in-law to let her come with me, " Daniel pointed out.

Asher's face scrunched up, "Mother-in-law? "

Daniel grinned cheekily at him, "Your loss dude, but I've been gaining points lately "

Asher snorted at him ridiculously, what was this fool rambling about. Gaining points? How absurd!

The vampire knew he didn't even need to stress himself on that part; he'll just be himself and if his mate's family still doesn't like him? He would just compel them into loving him - problem solved!.

Asher knew he wasn't a good person contrary to what people think. The council and his father's dark history was the only thing keeping him from becoming a villain.

Which was why he could relate with his half-brother Raphael sometimes. If he had been in the same shoe, he would surely try to exert his revenge, no doubt.

But that doesn't mean he wouldn't hesitate to rip that crafty brother of his apart if he dares to touch a hair on his mate.

Asher only cared about the people precious to him to the extent he would lay down his life for them - for a good cause - the others can go to hell as long as he cares.

"For sure it would be hard for your mother-in-law to let our mate go which is why I've come up with an idea, " Asher said but the werewolf could make out the mocking tone in his voice.

"What idea? " He ignored Asher's taunts and focused on his suggestion.

"I'm thinking of organizing a field trip to Kinney village for educational purposes. Thankfully, your pack has enough wildlife for the students to gain firsthand knowledge away from the classroom and should make a good excuse, what do you think? "

Daniel tipped his head to the side while rubbing his jaw in deep contemplation, "Hmm, that should convince the ignorant humans. But the time - "

"Three days, that's the limit I can go without arousing suspicion," Asher straightforwardly told him.

"Three days is better than nothing"

Asher slapped his hand conclusively, "Mrs. Jenny wouldn't be able to deny her this one and she would be more relaxed knowing that you're the chief and all, whatever.But the point is, you have three days to teach our mate how to control her wolf. "

He stared Daniel in the eyes challengingly," Are you up-to-the task? "

"Of course, can't wait to get started" There was a glint of excitement in Daniel's eyes until Asher added.

"And by the way, you're the one sponsoring the trip "

"What? " He sprang up to his feet with a bewildered look on his face,

"You can't be serious "

Asher monotoned," Have you ever seen me pull someone's leg?"

"You can not just heap all of the expenses on me. Do you think it's easy to fund a trip for rebellious teenagers in a village full of hormonal werewolves? "

Asher lifted his chin proudly, "I came up with the idea Daniel, so suck it up. Moreover, I would be providing extra security by sending two of my best men: Dan and Zukai. What else do you want from me? "

The tricked Alpha werewolf shook his head in disbelief with a sigh. He clicked his tongue," Tsk tsk, you're? richer than me yet so stringent with your resources " He complained.

Asher glanced up at him and said pointedly, "I'm not stingy, I'm just managing my resources adequately"

Daniel sneered at him, "What a great saver "

"Could you guys keep your voice down " Someone whined from the side and as if magnated, both of their gazes rested on their mate instantly?

Lia groaned and sat up, her hand on her neck with a displeased frown on her face.

"You're awake?" Daniel rushed to her side, happiness screaming all over his face like a loyal puppy welcoming his master home ; all he was missing was a wagging tail.

Asher just gazed at her tenderly and asked softly, " How's your neck? "

"I feel terrible, what happened? " Inquired Lia while massaging that painful spot.

She felt like someone ripped her head out of her body- but then her head was still instant, so that couldn't have happened, right?

Asher and Daniel's eyes met and locked, they began to literally communicate through their orbs :

Daniel: "Should I tell her or would you do the favor? "

Asher: " Try it and I promise to set your doodle on fire " he emphasized his threat by staring at Daniel's crotch with evil intent in his eyes.

Daniel's hands flew to his below protectively, he couldn't tell if that savage vampire was joking or not.

But he wouldn't dare to risk his little brother moreover, the fact that Asher could also manipulate fire added to his fear; he didn't dare to test him.

If he lost his little brother, there was no need battling for his mate's love, it was game over for him. Without that, how would he pleasure his mate if she eventually chose him, his wolf might even abandon him.

But Asher would not do that, right?

"What's the occasion? The family is complete today, strange " Chimed in Raphael, who walked into the living room with his usual smug smile on his face.

Before Asher and Daniel could even see what was going on, Lia had already lunged at the vampire with full force.

"You maniac! " She raged at the vampire who wasn't fazed by her outburst. If anything, he looked too relaxed.

Lia swung a blow at him but he dodged it effortlessly with that smirk that irked the fuming hybrid further.

"What did you do to my mother?!" She tried to trip him by putting her leg out while launching another blow but Raphael had quick reflexes and also quick on his feet.

"Lia, stop it! You can not defeat him, at least not yet " Asher pointed out but she was too immersed in the fight to stop.

Lia was attacking him yet Raphael was still winning. The fight was obviously like a child's play; a professional fighter versus a rookie, it was obvious who would win.

Yes, Lia was stronger, Raphael was more experienced and had more battle experience and wiles.

Lia was exasperated when she couldn't defeat Raphael with the use of combat and decided to use her powers instead.

She tried to scream at him but Raphael vamp sped towards her, gripped her hair, and tugged her head upward as she blew a hole through Asher's roof with her scream.

Debris came falling but she was surprised when Raphael reached out and jerked her into his arms, hurling her out of harm's way.

"Who won now? " He taunted her, lips pressed on the back of her ear and arms wrapped strongly around her waist.
