Chapter 180 - One Hundred And Eighty : Wanted Her Dead
Asher's gaze took in the damages, this would cost him a lot of his resources to repair. He rubbed the bridge between his nose, everything happened because he let his emotions get the best of him.
There was fire in his orbs when he thought of Raphael, he would skin the life out of that tricky bastard - he tricked him into destroying his property.
His sly half-brother knew how possessive Alpha's were of their mate and provoked him on purpose. Asher was not parsimonious but he hated wasting the hard-earned money he's accumulated over the years.
He enjoyed luxury and that was evident in his lifestyle: his wardrobe, house, everything he possessed was of the finest quality.
If he was that stingy as the others claim, he wouldn't have been funding all of his clan's expenses; but they didn't have to know, let them think that way.
He was engrossed with the damages done when a sudden pain pierced through his heart driving him to his knees.
Asher felt like a sword just went through his heart but when he touched his chest, there was no sign of an injury, how was that possible?
His eyes snapped open, his mate; Lia was in trouble! Something must have happened to her to have elicited this kind of intense pain, he felt everything.
Asher would have vamp sped to her place but Little Town was in lockdown, he didn't want to complicate matters by drawing unnecessary attention.
If an ordinary human saw something this extraordinary by this time of the night, it would cause the council into thinking he had compromised his identity on purpose.
Asher sprang to his feet and rushed to the driveway. He climbed into one of his cars and drove off at a mad speed.
Hardly had he driven for two miles did a patrol car parked across the road spot his high speed and commanded him to pull over.
He ignored them, instead built up more speed with no care till he couldn't go any further while the police siren blared on.
Asher noticed they called for reinforcement when they couldn't catch up to him because another patrol car had already blocked the middle of the road where he would have to pass through.
A smirk pulled his mouth to the side, do they think that such a ploy would be able to stop him?
Eyes narrowed and resolute, Asher pressed forward while the police continuously warned him to pull over.
Sadly, the policemen in the car parked ahead had no clue they were dealing with a mad man- no vampire.
It was only when they realized the driver of that sports car was intent on ramming into them, did they jump out of the car.
Surprisingly a miracle occurred, just when both men were sure a crash would occur, their car was moved to the side by an invisible force while the sports car zoomed off effortlessly.
What just happened? Was their brain deceiving them or was it a trick of the eye? They questioned themselves.
But the other car was still hot on Asher's trail and there was no sign of giving up. Eyes focused on the road, he summoned a heavy wind that began to blow and throw dirt particles in their way.
The patrol car began to drive awry, it was already hard chasing a car driving over the limit in such foggy night, not to talk of when an ominous wind began to throw dirt in their way.
The driver had no choice but to slam his foot on the brake pedal, bringing the car to a sudden halt. But Asher was too petty to let them go that easily.
Both of them hardly stepped out of the car when a cracking side was heard causing them to look up with wide eyes.
They scampered to safety just as two of the tall trees lining the road fell on top of the car reverberating a loud thud as the windows shattered coupled with the roof caving in.
"That car is haunted! " One of them screamed hysterically and ran off with his partner trailing after him.
Perhaps Asher would have gloated over their cowardice on other days but right now he was anxious to get to his mate's place.
He tried to assure himself that Lia was fine, that Daniel had gotten to her first plus the fact she couldn't and wouldn't die, but nervousness still ate at him.
No weapon at the moment was capable of ending his mate, but what if those witches were able to come up with something?
Asher didn't relax until he was finally at her front door as his ears picked up discussions.
"Trevor listen to me, let me explain"
The voice was anxious and full of despair but Asher was relieved to know she was okay.
"Listen to my mate you rude boy or I'll rip your throat out "
Yep, that authoritative tone no doubt belongs to the werewolf. It was not surprising Daniel was here before him, he had accompanied their mate home.
But what in the world happened?
"No, don't touch me! "
That voice surely belongs to that son of a b* tch called Trevor; he would have taught that little kid a lesson if he wasn't his mate's brother - he should thank his lucky stars.
The door opened, taking Asher who was distracted by surprise but Trevor it seems was more startled than he was, clearly, he was about to escape his sister and met him in the process.
Dressed thoroughly in black, Trevor was scared out of his pants when he saw the vampire in their doorway. He instinctively took a step back as he saw the coldness in his piercing green eyes.
"I believe my mate was talking to you," He said in a drawl, a strong wind began to blow while the light bulb in the living room flickered as Asher's eyes glowed.
He continued to step towards the boy who was beginning to shake like winter came early.
"You can either sit down or we can do this the hard way, what do you say? " Asked Asher who towered over the trembling Trevor he had backed to a wall.
He stammered a reply, "I-l s-ssit "
"Wise choice," Asher said to him just as he made the door slam close while Trevor jumped out of his skin.
Rex held onto his sister's waist, her principal was so scary. But why was that evil man staring at his sister with cupids in his eyes? That was creepy.
He jumped to the side when that evil man covered the distance between them and engulfed his sister in a tight hug?
Trevor was scared, Rex knew that, but why was their sister not resisting that vampire? Why wasn't his sister's boyfriend doing anything to stop him from molesting his sister?
Another man...that evil vampire that wants to hurt his brother was hugging his girlfriend, yet Daniel was not doing anything? What was going on? Everything was confusing, his head would blow up from thinking too much! He was just a little kid.
Trevor's eyes widened in shock, what was going on here? Why were that vampire and his sister hugging like lovers estranged from each other for a long time? Why wasn't Daniel doing anything?
"What happened to you? I felt it through the bond, you actually died" Asher asked her as soon as he broke the hug but his eyes full of concern rested on the bloodied tear in her clothe.
"Someone attacked me " Answered Lia who still couldn't stop Asher's hands roaming her body in search of other injuries.
"Attacked you...?! "
"Shhh, you would wake my mom " Lia hurriedly hushed him by pressing her finger against his lips.
She could see the fire burning in his eyes, but her siblings were enough of a problem now. She wouldn't want to witness her mom's drama tonight.
"I found her staked in the heart " Daniel handed the wooden stake to Asher who examined it with a solemn expression.
"Whoever did this wanted our mate dead" he explained, "A stake to the heart kills vampires and this wouldn't have had an effect on her in the first place if she was a real hybrid.
"But in her case, any injury to the heart neutralizes her and unless removed if plunged deeply, she would appear dead "
"What is going on? " There was confusion in Trevor's expression, " Mate? Hybrid? What in the world are you guys talking about?" he then settled his disappointed gaze on Daniel
"And you, how could you allow him to hug - "
"Sit down kiddo, we would get back to you later " Asher ordered him and when Trevor wanted to protest, remembered how capable that vampire was.
"Did you see who attacked you? "
Lia shook her head to Asher's question, "I couldn't see her face, she was wearing a hood and a mask"
"She?" Both of her mates looked at each other surprised, they had been expecting a male.
" How did you know it's a she?" Daniel asked his time.
"I caught a blurry glimpse of her at school once this week because something was striking about her "
Asher leaned closer, " What is it? What was so interesting about her? "
"Your eyes, she had the same eyes as you "
