THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

"Hey" Jenny called as soon as she answered the door "You guys are home late "

Until her inquiring hazel eyes rested on the young man behind them

"Don't tell me you made a new boyfriend already, Lia? " She blurted out before realizing it.

Lia who was about to introduce the guest, stared at her mom open-mouthed while Trevor coughed awkwardly, looking away.

"Mom! " She whined and met her mom's gaze, an embarrassing blush on her cheeks.

"He's our principal "Lia choked down a sharp response.

"Principal? " Jenny shot back wide-eyed

Lia gestured a positive response with her head while cringing inwardly.

Way to go mom.

Jenny stood in stunned silence, too shocked by her earlier outburst to think of a response. Perhaps, if she had thought before speaking, it probably wouldn't have come to this.

But who would blame her, she never thought her kid's principal would be this young, fit, sexy and God! those green eyes.

Asher stared at this scene amused, he never thought coming to her place would be this entertaining.

"Principal Asher " He said, stretched out his hand for a handshake hoping this would help ease the tension hovering around.

Embarrassed, Jenny cleared her throat "Glad to make your acquaintance, Principal Asher. I'm Mrs Jenny " She said accepting his hand in a handshake , not giving much concentration to his cold hands.

"Forgive my manners, you may come in " She said and let them in, assuming the role of a proper hostess.

Damn you tongue, Jenny scolded inwardly and locked the door.

Lia led 'principal Asher' into the living room wondering what this guy was up-to.

After putting Trevor in hypnosis , Sabrina erased every memory of the mandurugo attack and anything else related to the supernatural.

The only thing he remembered was the fact he went to school, had a great time in class and got invited to the principal's place alongside his sister.

He even forgot the kiss with the hot girl.

"You have a nice place " Asher activated his flattering skill, well, he didn't even need to try hard, Jenny was bewitched already.

"Thanks, Principal Asher " Jenny giggled, a bit exaggerated, if one might say and tugged at her hair shyly

"What is wrong with our mom today ? " Trevor asked feeling goosebumps all over his arm.

Lia shrugged, but inwardly she was boiling with anger, why was her mom smiling at Asher like that? Also, why was that stupid Asher encouraging her mom? As a principal, he should be strict, grim and formal.

And she's not saying all this because she's jealous, she's totally not jealous !

Asher was having a good conversation with the girl's mother when he felt a murderous intent coming from someone. He consciously turned around and their gaze met and held.

Though her expression was calm but her eyes spoke of a storm, it was wavering and destructive. She's angry.

Why was she angry? and approaching them?

"Mom, we've bothered the principal a lot today" She said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes "So I think it's high time he left already "

If Asher didn't know of her killing intent earlier, he would have thought the girl genuinely cared about him, cause the way she portrayed her feelings could even fool the best performer into believing her.

"What nonsense! " Jenny laughed it off "I'm sure Mr Asher would not mind staying awhile "

Lia's brow raised while the corners of her mouth quirked, it went quickly from 'principal Asher ' to 'Mr Asher '

Asher would've settled down for more if he hadn't seen the look on Lia's face. Her expression was interestingly becoming akin to a grim reaper's.

"I'm sorry but I have an important meeting right now " He answered politely and to emphasize his words, he lifted his hand and checked his luxurious Vacheron Constantin wristwatch

"Fine, then " Jenny reluctantly agreed. She was hoping to know more about this young principal.

"And I'm sorry for keeping your children aw-"

" No need to apologize, I got noticed earlier by the school authorities besides, it's a privilege that my wonderful kids found grace in your sight " Jenny said, pressed Lia to her side and ran her hand through her hair, dishevelling the hair lia spent a lot of time tiding in Dan's room .

Lia cringed and glared at her mom, why was she treating her like her an eight year old right in front of him?

"Let's call it a day then. See you later, Mrs Jenny "

"And you, Mr Asher " Jenny replied , She followed him out the door and watched as he hopped into his Lexus SUV and started the engine. Soon enough, he was out of sight.

With a smile on her lips, Jenny slammed the door shut and headed inside only to be treated to a sour expression on her children's faces.

"What's wrong? " She asked startled.

"Nothing " The both said in unison

as if they've been practicing that for a while now.

Jenny's eyes narrowed, they were keeping something from her but she knew her children well, whenever they seal their lips, it's almost impossible to pry it open.

Throughout dinner Lia was surprisingly silent, she just made curt responses and was all dismissive.

Trevor knew something aside from their mom's flirting case was weighing her down, something seem to be bothering her.

"Thanks for the meal, I'm going to bed " Lia said, dumped her half eaten meal on the sink and left leaving everyone stunned.

"What's with your sister? " Their mom asked concerned, her daughter's countenance lately has been nothing but stable

"Don't know " Trevor shrugged innocently, digging into his food.

Lia walked into her room and shut the door, making sure to lock it firmly. She turned and swallowed a scream when she saw a familiar figure sitting on her bed, leg crossed over the other.

"Asher? " She called, sheer disbelief on her face

"What took you so long? " He asked nonchalantly and stood to his feet.

"What are you doing in my room by this time of the night? " She asked back, cautious of his intentions this time.

"What do you think if not for us to have a private chat "
