Chapter 209 - Two Hundred And Nine: He Needs That Prophecy

"I think you were too lenient on Raphael," Gideon told Asher as he prepared for school.

Raphael laughed inwardly, of course, he had to be lenient else it would seem suspicious, his dear brother was too merciful - weak and pathetic.

"How so?" He assumed Asher's calm posture.

" I haven't even met sister-in-law, yet that fox schemed to steal your mate, shouldn't you have been harsher on his punishment? " Gideon asked him.

Raphael focused his green orbs on Gideon with blazing intensity, the way his brother would in this situation - Gosh! It was so easy mimicking Asher and did he forget to add it was fun.

"My father stole Ezekiel's mate yet he pardoned him and I wouldn't condemn Raphael for coming for revenge- I would do the same in his shoes"

Yolk, his little brother was such a goody-two-shoes.

"Yes, Ezekiel forgave your father, Asher, but you still bore the outcomes for a sin you had no idea about - you've never set your eyes on your mother"

Oh right, mother, Raphael sighed. He was going to miss that woman but the good thing is that she got to meet her beloved son at last.

The son she spent seven hundred years of her life yearning for, would be standing right in front of her yet she wouldn't be able to recognize him - so heartbreaking.

His expression suddenly shifted as something clicked into his mind.

His mother was such an emotional vampiress- Asher probably inherited that kind-heartedness from her- what if she does something stupid that ruins his plan? Well, his father was there, he would take care of everything.

Raphael hopes his father doesn't allow that smart brother of his to spend time with mother else he manages to fill her in on what's going on.

"Asher? Asher?" Gideon awakened him from his thoughts

"Sorry for that, I was thinking about something "

"I'm still saying, sending Raphael back to his clan is not a wise move. What if he returns and this time fiercer?"

"So what are you suggesting I do? Go back on my word when I've clearly promised not to persecute him?"

" I know but - "

"This scandal is a huge shame to the? already smeared Raven clan's name, Ezekiel would punish his son appropriately, and if you think Raphael would come back for revenge? Then train yourself to be stronger to protect me"

Gideon knew Asher always had a sharp tongue but this time, his words poked him at a raw spot.

If he had been as strong as Dan or Zukai, he would have helped protect Asher that night Raphael attacked him.

Unfortunately, he was the first person they immobilized before going up against Asher. If he was in his prime form, he would have put up quite a fight but his full powers had not been unleashed because of the draining.

Yet, without his or anyone's help, Asher was still able to protect himself effortlessly. It was evident he would always be the weaker and lesser one amongst them.

"Fine, from now on, I'm determined to become stronger"

"Let's hope so" Asher waved him off as usual.

"Don't you think we should tell Dan about the attack so he could send messages to the rest of the clan members to be security conscious of any attack from the Raven clan?"

"No way!" Raphael growled at once which made him realize he had slipped out of character.

Gideon was surprised at Aster's unexpected outburst, why was he so furious about Dan knowing about the incident?

Raphael cleared his throat, "You know how impulsive Dan can be when he's blinded by rage. Besides, he's keeping watch over my mate in Kinney village, furthermore, this is not a war.

"Raphael committed the crime of almost converting my mate, it does not call for war between clans. You know what war does - it takes and does not give and also, the council would be against the idea of the clash at the moment"

"Raphael indeed, you deserve an Oscar award" he praised himself mentally for portraying Asher's character flawlessly.

Raphael was not worried about Gideon, he had studied the vampire and so far he was slow-witted and dense - though he was capable in combat.

The vampire he had to look out for was that creepy one called Zukai and of course the almighty Dan.

Raphael disliked Dan for being the most capable amongst Asher's men. He had a lethal ability and was very intelligent

He was grateful the vampire was absent and now he had just a day left to wrap up all loose ends before he returned. Once Dan was back, Raphael would have to put up his guard constantly in order not to get discovered.

Zukai was capable too but he was all brawn and no brains, he would have to be careful around his sister instead, she was too perceptive.

His plan would not be ruined.

Both heard a car pull up at their place and Gideon went to answer the door revealing... Trevor.

Raphael frowned, why was Lia's brother here? Was there possibly a deal with Asher he was missing out on?

Damn it, he cursed. Raphael wished there was a way he could access Asher's memories but soul transfer doesn't work that way.

Fine, he'd tread carefully here. Let's see what Asher and the boy are up to.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in school by now?" Raphael asked Trevor.

Trevor licked his lips, "I need to talk to you about something" his eyes flickered to Gideon, " Alone"

Raphael gave a sign to Gideon to leave.

Gideon didn't have any objection, Asher has not changed at all, he still hasn't trusted him fully.

"You can speak now" He ordered Trevor once he sensed Gideon leave the building.

Trevor looked around nervously, confirming he was safe before disclosing, "I was attacked last night"

Raphael blinked, this wasn't what he was expecting. Was the kiddo here to complain? If he could remember properly, Asher and this kid had never been pals so there was no way Trevor was here to seek comfort from Asher.

"By who?"

"That's what I'm here to ask you too"

Raphael's brow furrowed together, " Alright kiddo, I have no time for your dramas" he shot up to his feet.

"She had your eyes "

Raphael froze, he turned to face Trevor, "What are you talking about?"

"There's no mistaking it, she looked like you save her blonde hair which brings up this question, do you have a sister?"

Trevor caught Asher's laugh, he was mocking him.

"I have no sister, only my half brother, Raphael. So I can assure you beyond unreasonable doubt that you saw wrong"? he summarized.

Trevor sprang up to his feet angrily, "She almost killed me last night, and to top it all, she was a vampire and? said I should blame Lia for my death"

Raphael groaned, "But you didn't die. Trevor, I'm in no mood for whatever games you think this is "

"Yeah, I lived - no she killed me, strangled me to death to be precise. I almost died -no, did die but she brought me back and I don't know why she did that but I'm sure of what I saw! " By the time Trevor was done, he was puffing and huffing yet was disappointed by the look Asher gave him.

"You don't believe me?"

"It's hard to believe such a thing without evidence, Trevor "

"She had green ones"

"Green eyes are a rare eye color but that doesn't mean I'm the only one with it "

"Yeah, green eyes aren't that rare but that shade? These same eyes staring back at me right now?" He pointed at Asher's face, " It's the same with hers"

Trevor thought he would go crazy with explanation, why couldn't this asshole believe him?

He threw his hands up, "You know what? f*ck you" Trevor cursed at him blatantly, "When you told me about my sister, about the prophecy, I believed you. Why wouldn't you do the same now?"

Raphael was almost tempted to ask, "What prophecy?" but he knew he'd expose himself if he did that.

Trevor was a mere human but he had access to Lia and Dan and could raise this topic if he senses something wrong with him.

Yet Raphael would do everything to hear about this mysterious prophecy. Something told him it has to do with Lia who would be his completely, soon.

He already has plans of getting rid of that werewolf. He wouldn't sacrifice his body and everything just to lose to that dog called Daniel.

His brother Asher was a complete fool to share his mate with a werewolf - their greatest enemy.

His brother Asher was a huge disgrace to the Raven clan - a weakling. He should have just taken her, whether she truly belonged to him or not!

If not for the fact he desired Lia, he'd have exposed this secret long ago to the council- of her having two mates.

Trevor shook his head, "It was truly a mistake coming here"

"I'm sorry but I can't help you on this one" Raphael said to him just as he strode out of his house angrily.

"But you'd help me with that prophecy," he muttered to himself.

Iark would be needed on that one, he needs to use his ability and draw the truth out from that boy.

He needs that prophecy!
