"I hate sneak attacks " Daniel said, obviously displeased and stomped the hand holding onto his leg heavily over and over again until it was a mushy mess on the floor.

"Eww, you werewolves are so disgusting! You could have killed it in one clean move, why make it so hardcore? " Asher cringed the moment Daniel raised his bare feet with fleshy bits and blood sticking to it.

"I'm sorry I forgot you can't handle this kind of violence after all vampires are womanly " Daniel incited him to anger and Asher snarled at him but something else drew their attention.

Graves began to open and people walked out of it while some others climbed out of the ground and before long, a little more than hundred reanimated corpses all stood before them.

"Please tell me those aren't witches? " Daniel asked no one in particular.

As if to answer his question, one of the corpses raised her hand and summoned a lightning spell towards them which they dodged effortlessly - it seems years of being dead has rusted their skills.

"You really had to jinx your luck? " Asher stared at him like he was stupid. He continued " But on the bright side there are not only witches but wendigoes, vampires, and your own kind, werewolves to face-off "

Asher referred to the reanimated corpses positioning their bodies into an attacking stances across from them.

"I take the ones on the left and you on the right " Daniel shared the duties but Asher laughed, a tone of mockery in his voice.

"I think you're forgetting something here? I'm here as a support not a sidekick, your job is to create a path for me to go through and find our mate before it's too late " Asher reminded him and he growled in annoyance.

"Fine, whatever "

Daniel glanced at the corpses who, as if they guessed their intention, started blocking any further entrance into the cemetery.

Asher figured out "He's in their minds, he's controlling them "

"Sure he is, that bastard " Daniel cursed out loud, clenching his fist " Alright, this is it. I'll create a path at the count of one… two… three now "

As if a gun went off in the air, they? began to run towards the direction of the corpses with crazy speed.

Contrary to what the corpses expected, a few metres from clashing with them, Asher and Daniel jumped.

In midair, Daniel quickly shifted into his wolf form while Asher made visible his fangs and sharp fingers as they landed right in the middle of the lion's den.

Once they touched the ground, they brought some of their enemies down with them and quickly ended them.

Daniel grabbed the witch that almost blasted him earlier with his sharp teeth and tore her head right out of her body - she had been his target from the very start and finally got her.

A fellow vampire tried to grab Asher from the back but he sidestepped him, quickly ripped out his heart and he crumpled to the ground.

But for him to turn around, a werewolf knocked him to the ground, it's powerful jaws and teeth slobbering a few metres away from his face.

He quickly launched a powerful punch on its skull and another one that sent the werewolf flying through the air albeit with broken bones.

Asher quickly stood to his feet and saw a wendigo try to attack Daniel from behind while he was busy finishing off another witch .

He grabbed a fistful of the scanty wendigo's hair from behind and snapped his neck with a crack causing Daniel to look back.

"You owe me one " He told the surprised wolf.

But Daniel without warning leaped over his head causing him to duck instinctively as he tackled another creature to the ground and ripped its throat and stomach.

"Oh " Asher realized he just saved him from being attacked.

Daniel barked at him but he gladly interrupted it as " We're even now "

Suddenly another creature tried to lunge at him again and Daniel prepared to tackle that one too.

"No wait, that's a human " Asher? tried to stop him but in the process suffered a scratch from Daniel's claws.

With the fury boiling in him, Asher backhanded the compelled human with a momentum that knocked all his teeth out of his mouth causing him to pass out while Daniel shifted back to his human form.

" I'm sorry " Daniel apologised and examined the arm where he clawed Asher

"You have to leave now, rescue our mate and get yourself treated before the effects of the venom kicks in "

" I have a high tolerance !" Asher gritted his teeth

"Rescue our mate first and we can argue about that later " Daniel told him and patted him on the shoulder.

He quickly added " I'm very sorry for hurting you but go now!" and shifted back to his wolf form.

But the moment Asher tried to make a step, the surviving corpses assembled themselves and blocked his path.

His jaw clenched " Move! " Came his strict command but the creatures hissed, growled and snarled at him defiantly.

A wicked smile tugged the corners of his mouth " Trust me, you don't want to make me angry "

Asher closed his eyes and the creatures watched him interestedly as if waiting to see what he would do.

For a few minutes nothing happened until an abrupt strong wind began to blow.

As if the wind was manipulated, it quickly swept through the reanimated corpses, tossing and pushing them to the sides as an aisle was created.

The temperature started to drop and as thick as Daniel's fur was he couldn't help but shiver, what was Asher doing?

Asher opened his eyes and commenced his journey through the cleared path as if he was taking a walk through his backyard garden.

The daring corpses who tried to stand in his way froze into ice upon contact leaving Daniel dumbfounded.

The vampire was making his work easier for him! Invigorated, Daniel charged at them, planning to finish them all this time.

Asher was angry, very angry and he made sure those creatures who tried to stop him paid for it.

He walked further into the cemetery and didn't search for long before he spotted Ben - no - Lawrence .

It seems the boy was really gone, he could already see a lot of changes in him.

His once curly hair was now straightened and tousled while his colourful and simple style of clothing had turned darker yet tastier - perhaps he would have appreciated Lawrence's taste of fashion if they weren't on bad terms.

Lawrence was standing on a ruined elevated platform, beside a gothic altar table filled with items Asher couldn't exactly describe and watching him with a curious yet impressed gaze.

"You're strong. Infact powerful, Asher of the Nicolli Clan " Lawrence said to him as soon as their eyes met.

But he ignored him and went straight to the point " Where is my mate?"

"I heard about you and your exploits even before I was captured " he sidestepped Asher's question.

"Your father Antonio and his shenanigans.You know, I always admired his works and wanted to meet him " he tsk tsked "What a shame he didn't make it "

"Where is my mate?! " Asher repeated his question, voice firmer.

"But his son didn't follow his footsteps at all " Lawrence continued to ignore his question "And here I was thinking the apple doesn't fall far from the tree "

Infuriated, Asher tried to strode up the stairs but was knocked back by a force; Lawrence put up a barrier, he realized.

"Oh right, you were asking a question " the irritating necromancer brought up his question with a mocking gleam in his eyes.

"Lia is fine but your mate is forever gone, who I have here is my queen " he said, stretching out his hand and from nowhere Lia strutted towards him with a dazzling smile on her face.

Asher didn't take his eyes off her, his intense gaze followed her every movement as if captivated.

Lia was wearing a long embroidered flowy white gown with revealing shoulders and cleavages while her hair cascaded down her shoulder in waves ; she looked like a goddess with her enthralling beauty.

But that enthralling goddess was under the influence of a devil right now.

"My King " She said, bowed and put her hands in Lawrence's .

" See?" He directed the question at Asher " She's completely mine "

Lawrence then kissed her right in front of Asher who released a frustrated scream.

He then began to punch the barrier frantically, each blow lighting it up but it didn't crack nor did it relieve the anger that was coursing through his veins.

"Are you that aggrieved? " Lawrence

had a self- satisfied smirk on his face.

"Why don't you come out and find out?! " he spat back with venom " Stop hiding like a chicken and come out, fight like a man if you are one ! " Asher goaded him to fight.

Lawrence's eyes flashed with anger and he replied " Sure I would "

He climbed down the stage.
