The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 154 - One Hundred And Fifty-four : They're Gone

"All he ever asked you to do was to take care of the clan " Dan reprimanded Gideon who remained indifferent to his words.

Gideon sneered in response " As if the so-called clan members ever stay at a place "

Dan couldn't help but sympathize with Gideon, of course, everyone knew the Nicoli clan were one of the strongest clans but lacked true mates the most.

Due to the curse, Nicoli vampires in need of a mate were always moving and searching, with the hope of finding them and made it a lot harder to keep track of their whereabouts.

Moreover, vampires from the Nicoli clan seem to have an ability to attract troubles, because each time they're most in need of help and Dan was always there to tender one; only this time Gideon was sent in his stead.

"You always knew Raphael was trouble yet you chose to hang out with them and even told him things he shouldn't have … !" Dan faltered upon discovering he was all riled up.

"I wasn't exactly given a choice, " Gideon said to him.

He sighed and rubbed his temple "You should be thankful Asher has changed lately ".

If it was the previous Asher, Gideon would be given a punishment he would never forget throughout his immortality. But thanks to Lia, the once stonehearted Asher was becoming one big softie.

"Spare that excuse to Asher " Dan brushed him off

Dan couldn't tell what Raphael did with him but Gideon's eyes were dark red, a sign he had been feeding on human blood for a while now. Asher obviously wouldn't be pleased to see this.

But what bothered Dan currently was Asher's weird call, claiming he had seen Katya. If not for the fact vampires couldn't get drunk, he would have surmised Asher was definitely intoxicated while making that call.

Due to the fact true mates were hard to find and take up a long time searching for unless one was lucky, vampires as creatures with quite a long lifespan have no choice than to satisfy their sexual desires with other people.

Asher would not exactly be called a player but he has had his own fair share of women over the years and one of them was called Katya.

Katya had been one of Asher's girlfriends and also a pureblood vampire who was madly in love with him. Everyone even though they were mates thanks to the way they were lovey-dovey with each other.

Everything was going perfectly well for both of them until Asher suddenly called off the relationship. Katya wanted them to get married since they hadn't found their mates yet but Asher being the hedgehog he was, refused; he wouldn't settle for anybody than his true mate.

He wanted to wait.

So they broke up peacefully or so Asher thought, Katya took his rejection quite differently.

For two hundred years plus, Katya tracked, hunted, and killed off women Asher ever dated and was dating - supernatural or not.

Katya kept her ears to the ground, hoping to get news about Asher's mate so she could finish her off like she did to the others but luck was on Asher's side, his mate never came.

At first, she had been subtle about her killings, but things like that couldn't be hidden under the sun forever. Asher eventually found out and didn't take things lightly.

He tracked down her whereabouts which wasn't exactly hard considering the fact she was tracking him too.

That blissful evening, they had a big fight.

Asher wanted her to stop her madness but Katya had gone too far to stop now. She claimed if it wasn't her, no-one else would occupy that position.

And the fight began.

Unfortunately in the heat of the moment, Asher killed her or so he thought, considering the fact he called, saying he saw her.

But Dan highly doubted she was alive, though they did not burn her body, he was clearly sure she died that day, then how..?

One thing was sure though, if Katya was truly alive, Lia was in danger. Asher better keeps his eyes on his mate else he loses her just as he lost his.

Thankfully, Lia was strong. But were her powers strong enough to fight against a sly, powerful, and experienced vampiress?

A mechanical whirring was heard and the door snapped open as Asher walked into his secret lab with a deep scowl on his face.

"You're here " Dan announced his presence.

"Where is he? " Asher went straight to the point.

He was pointed to a vampire who was kept in a large - insulated glass tube with several wires attached to his hands.

"He's addicted to human blood again? " Asher turned to face Dan, disappointment boldly plastered across his face.

"Yes, Raphael made him that way " Dan answered on purpose hunting that Gideon didn't take it knowingly.

Since Gideon was the youngest of them all, he doesn't have much self-control when it comes to human blood which made him an easier target to be used by the Burning Eaglet initially.

"I can't believe I'm about to rehabilitate a pureblood, you're not? even a converted vampire! Why should I go through all? this trouble?" Asher took out his frustration on Gideon who didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Dan quickly and quietly sneaked out of the lab, that one was on Gideon - he had warned him on time besides, he had missed Sabrina and she wasn't picking up his call.

He doubted something happened to her, else Asher would have informed him when he asked about her, but Dan still couldn't help but get worried, was she getting cold feet about their relationship again?.

He teleported to her place and couldn't find her in her room which looked deserted as if she had moved out.

Fear gripped his heart so he hurried out of there and searched the rest of the house, yet couldn't find her. In a panic, he was about to teleport back to the mansion and inquire about her whereabouts from Asher when he found her in the kitchen.

He found her standing in front of the sink and looking out through the window, lost in thought.

Dan shook his head, Sabrina would definitely be the death of him. How could she scare him like that?

Relieved, he walked towards her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, startling and jerking her back to reality.

He kissed her neck " I missed you. Didn't you miss me? "

Sabrina turned towards him? "When did you arr-? "

He silenced her with a kiss, swallowing the rest of her question. Sabrina blinked and stood like a tree as his lips moved against her passionately, she didn't see that one coming.

He moved back a bit and took her face in his hand, " I wanted a straight answer, I didn't say you should answer my question with a question "

His hands moved to her back, molding her to him as he repeated his question " Did you miss me ? "

Sabrina looked him straight in the eyes before she reached up and lowered his face to her level, taking the initiative this time.

"You have no idea,"? She said to him and captured his lips with hers, kissing him long and hard.

Dan groaned into her mouth while she wrapped herself around himself as the other hand thread through his hair.

He missed her like crazy and didn't hesitate to show it. He hoisted her up in his arms and carried her away from the kitchen sink, pinning her against the wall before trailing hot kisses down her neck.

Sabrina moaned in pleasure and threw back her head, giving him clear access to her neck.

"You don't how much you drive me crazy "He murmured against her skin and let his descended fang graze it softly as he felt her shiver beneath him.

" Dan " Sabrina gasped, her nails digging into his skin.

"Do you feel that? Only I can make you feel that way " He grazed his way up to her throat as he began suckling on the skin there.

His hand traced the curve of her waist before slipping into her shirt and touching the muscles of her stomach.

With her heart threatening to leap out of her chest, she grinds against his arousal, suggesting she was as turned on as he was.

He tugged off her shirt, tossing it to the floor while his eyes brimmed with excitement, his gaze sweeping over her body.

Sabrina shivered when she saw the way his gaze darkened, it was already obvious how this was going to end; there's no way that is not going down.

She was so beautiful, Dan thought and was about to take her to bed when he remembered her room was empty.

" There is no bed, " He told as his hand climbed up her thigh.

Sabrina spoke between moans " W-we could.. try the couch...I'll order one later "

Her breath caught in her throat when his hand moved inside her panties "Just summon one, I have a lot of fun to catch up with you "

Sabrina froze.

Dan stopped whatever he was doing when he sensed the sudden change in her demeanor.

"Why? What's wrong? "

Sabrina got off him and Dan let her. She wrapped her arms around her exposed torso while putting a distance between them.

"What is wrong Sabrina? " He urged her to open up to him.

Sabrina bite the inside of her mouth

"My powers, they're gone "
