THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

Ben was in a hot seat. Of all days , why today?

He tried to look forward but met face-to-face with Dan's scrutinizing gaze and quickly averted his eyes to the side but met Lia's threatening orbs instead, he quickly tore away his gaze to the other side only to discover some students were glaring at him.

Why?! What did he do wrong? Why was everyone after his life? He was just a normal human being willing to live a normal life, but it seems the universe was jealous of him. Why did they want to take that normality from him?!.

He then turned and faced Dan, saying with a straight face,

"I'm sorry Dan ; honourable knight of the prince of Darkness but my goddess lia is my life and I'm her destined sidekick , so I can't betray her.

There's this friendship bond between us just like the matebond , we can't keep secrets from each other and the more you try to break us apart, it hurts here! "

Ben bootlicked , hitting his chest repeatedly with this pitiful expression that was close enough to move people to tears save the both of them.

Lia's eyes twitched, what melodrama was this guy acting this time? She facepalm, mentally ashamed of her sidekick called Ben. She shook her head sympathetically, Ben's shamelessness has moved from level one to level five.

Though Dan tried to ignore him but Ben's aggrieved expression was beginning to disturb him. Not to mention lately, Ben's being putting a lot of effort into his dressing unlike his usual dress-as-I-like-style . So it was awkward seeing such cute looking guy staring at him with watery eyes, quivering lips and a pleading expression.

Dan sighed , why was he so kind towards this boy anyway ? He pinched the space between his brows, perhaps it was time to instill fear into him.

" Fine" Dan gave in and saw the joyous triumph on his face. Why was he so happy? Who said he was done yet? So he added " But only on one condition "

Ben was genuinely surprised, Dan gave in that easily ? Perhaps God had finally touched his heart - wait a minute, does he even have a heart ?

Not the point here Ben. Focus!

Fine, continue - he wasn't planning to look at his heart anyway...Perhaps a little, if it was possible to tear open his chest and check whether his unbeating heart was frozen like ice or just plain 'not functioning anymore' type of dead.

Ben rambled on in his head.

Unfortunately, that was until he heard the legendary all-too-common showstopper locution from Dan " But only on one condition"

His eyes narrowed down suspiciously on the vampire, what's this devilishly looking undead creature planning to do now?

"Sure, go ahead. Let's hear your condition " Ben leaned in , giving him a go-ahead gesture with his hand while Lia stared at the unfolding drama helplessly.

A mischievous gleam appeared in Dan's eyes as he said " That you let me drink from you.Not the innocent blood-in-cup type of feeding but the full fang-in-neck mode"

Bang ! The earth-shattering announcement was dropped.

There was a breathtaking silence,well on their own part since students were still going up and down , to and fro the cafeteria , making one hell of a noise.

"No, no way! I won't allow that " Lia denied the request after recovering from the initial shock, emphasizing her stand by forming an "X" with her two arms.

"You're not the one making the decision here, Lia " Dan reminded and ran his tongue over his fang, a predatory gesture which she didn't fail to notice.

If there was anything Lia discovered about Dan recently is the fact that after that poisoning incident , he became quite open with his desires unlike his initial demeanor.

She couldn't tell whether that was a good thing or a sign to be wary of him. But since Asher kept him by her side, she should trust him right?

Just as Dan thought, the boy was scared to the marrow. He was staring ahead with a shocked expression - the wide-eyed and mouth agape signatory shock .

Ben was positively tongue-tied.

Dan chuckled to himself, what was he expecting anyway when fooling around with a kid?

That was what he thought until the supposed 'Tongue-tied ' Ben asked an atrocious question.

" We won't make out during the supposed feeding, right? "

Lia who was in the middle of chugging down a drink in a bid to ease the anger burning in her heart at Dan's attitude suddenly choked on it while Dan went red in the face.

What the f*ck....

"W-who told you s-such nonsense? " Dan spluttered uncontrollably. He unconsciously rubbed his chest ; if he had a functioning heart, it would probably be hammering against his chest right now. What lewd thoughts is this boy conjuring?

Ben pouted his lips and answered innocently

"That's what Lia tells me happens whenever she feeds from Asher "

"Hey! " Lia glared at him.

Dan took a deep breath while eyeing Lia, what has this girl being feeding this boy?

Lia stared wide-eyed at the happening, why was everyone staring at her like the bad one here? It was Ben who kept poking his nose in matters that didn't concern him.

"Listen here Ben " Dan took it upon himself to make it clear to him " Vampires feed for two reasons, to satisfy their hunger or for pleasure. But this weird and extinct creature here " quipped Dan pointing at her " Feeds for both purposes "

" You! " Lia choked " Stop exposing my dirty laundry in public ! " She quibbled with him .

But Dan snorted derisively at her and focused back his attention on Ben, "But seriously what made you seriously think I'll feed from you, talkmore make out with you? " He asked with pure disgust written all over his face.

Ben rolled his eyes " I was just swayed by Lia's words, besides why are you so flustered like a virgin going at it for the very first time?"

This time Dan was done with being nice, though he might be a tad bit clueless about nowadays slangs but he perfectly understood this one well.

But just as he was about to lunge at Ben and skin the little life out of him, he heard Lia release a sharp breath and his eyes narrowed into slits at once.

"What's wrong? " He came to stand beside her, watching her clutch her chest while breathing heavily with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"My heart feels strange " She wheezed.

As if on cue,his ears picked up a reverberating bang coming from the direction of Asher's office.

" Asher " She whispered his name as their eyes met. She heard it too.

Without wasting time, the both of them rushed out of the cafeteria.
