Chapter 91 - Ninety-one : Gotcha

"You're back " Jenny said, opening the door on the second knock.

"Hi mom " Lia greeted, silently expecting her mom's stern chiding which surprisingly never came. She narrowed her eyes, what excuse did Asher come up with this time?

Speak of Asher.

Lia felt her heartbeat double the moment she thought of him. Her hypothesis was right, Asher was her mate too: He decided to come clean at last.

But this was absolutely crazy, how was it possible to have two mates? Even Asher testified it has never being heard of, so how was this possible?

Lia had to admit, she was beginning to get scared of herself too. What if one-day she loses control of all these powers and ends up hurting the people that matter the most to her? This was definitely insane!

Lia wasn't stupid,she could smell a conspiracy. She might not have thought of that from the very beginning but judging from what's going on with her, it was beginning to get obvious, someone orchestrated this from the very start.

She had a strong feeling Asher knew what's going on but she couldn't get a single word out of him, his mouth was sealed real tight.

Lia had to confess, she had never seen anyone as headstrong and strong-willed as Asher. He was slow to anger, instead patiently devises a way to kill you slowly and silently , but when he does erupt, his anger was akin to a tsunami.

" It's strange " Lia said drawing her mom's attention.

"What's strange, dear? " Jenny asked throwing her a curious gaze.

"I've being missing for a day or two now and you don't even yell or scold me sternly for not being home these past days? " She moistened her lips and continued " Moreover, you heard about the incident at Caroline's place, yet you didn't even call for once asking how I was doing?"

"I'm sorry if my nonchalant attitude has caused your feelings to be hurt somehow, but your principal Asher assured me you were fine and that you were at Ben's place helping him recuperate " Answered her mom with a straight face.

Lia scratched her head thoughtfully, was that the excuse Asher used?

"Yes, I know the principal assured you but the mom I know would be freaking out by now!she would be screaming my head off for .... "

" I'm sorry " Jenny interrupted her " OK? Can We just let this matter die off cause I have not managed to get a good rest since your unexpected disappearance " Jenny pleaded and Lia dropped the matter upon noticing how tired her mom looked.

"Where are the others?" Lia asked as soon as she noticed the house was extremely quiet.

" Oh " Her mom turned and gave her a smile that strangely didn't reach her eyes "About that,Trevor took Rex out, said something about visiting his friends "

"Trevor doesn't have friends " Lia blurted .

" He doesn't? " marvelled Jenny.

"Why are you behaving as if you don't know your son is better at communicating with outsiders online than face-to-face ? " Lia asked suspiciously.

At first she wave it off as nothing when her mom called Asher earlier as ' Her principal Asher' when in reality she calls him by his name with lovey-dovey eyes,but now, behaving as if she doesn't know her son was socially inept was another thing altogether.

Something is definitely wrong.

"Sorry about that" Jenny apologized with a smile "The few days without you here have been quite tough for me and I believe your brother went to visit the victims of the incident on Friday. His classmates which I must have presumed as his friends, took him "

" Ahh " Lia nodded her head " That must be it" She affirmed and suddenly the doorbell rang.

"Answer the door, would you? someone must be at the door " Jenny requested and left for upstairs as soon as Lia left.

Jenny walked towards her daughter's room and closed the door quietly as soon as she walked in.

Immediately, her features began to distort and soon transformed into a toned young lady with sharp features. She had blonde pixie cut hair and luminously large and dark eyes - she looked too boyish to be a girl.

At once, Emily began to search the girl's room hastily.She never expected the girl to be back this soon , couldn't that damn werewolf keep her busy!

With the use of spells and potions, it was easy for her to transform and change her overall appearance perfectly into her target but she could never be able to imitate their personality traits and has to use her own senses and experiences to make up for the rest.

Which was why she made the doorbell ring when the girl began to get suspicious, hoping it would give her enough time to find her hair.

Bingo ! Emily exclaimed when she find the girl's hairbrush. She immediately gathered and plucked out the tangled locks from the brush's nylon brittles, sliding it into the pocket of her pants.

But as soon as she dropped the comb on the dresser and turned, she came face-to-face with the girl.

How did she.....

" Gotcha " Lia said and then instinctively screamed.

The scream sent forth a concussive blast that knocked Emily off, sending her crashing through the French window and finally onto the lawn.

Lia cautiously peered through the shattered window, her eyes scanning through their lawn only to discover there was nobody in sight - the girl had disappeared.

A huge scowl immediately appeared on her face, she had discovered this lady was an imposter the moment she mentioned her brother Trevor. Her mother was very careful and protective of her kids and wouldn't just 'presume' her kids whereabouts.

Slightly shaken, she dug her hands into her pocket and brought out her phone, calling Asher at once. As expected, he picked the call up on the first ring.

"You might need to come to my place "

Was the only word she told him and ended the call. Asher was smart, he would figure out the rest cause she had a pressing issue at hand - Finding her family.
