THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

Ben grumbled and stumbled as he walked down the hallway . He still couldn't believe his goddess left him to deal with that scrounger called Cheryl all by himself.

She tricked him, humph !

But he missed her, where could she have gone? He had been searching for her since break period all to no avail.

She was the only real friend he has eventhough they knew each other just a day ago but he felt drawn to her.

She was unlike his other classmates who avoids and treats him like some sort of freak just because his ideologies differs from their's.

So he sneaked out of class just to search for her, what a royal friend he was!

"Lia " He whispered, eyes darting around as he searched thoroughly. He had checked the gym, locker room, storage room, staff room but still couldn't find her , it was as if she vanished into thin air .

He had already decided to give up when he made out a silhouette leaning beside a locker. He squinted his eyes, trying to figure out who that could be?

Dan?

"Dan " He called and walked towards the pale pretty boy who looked like he was dragged out of a muddy swamp.

There was this black gooey stuff that looked a lot like thick blood smeared all over his long-sleeved shirt.

Oh right! The drama club had a colour mixing experiment with paint today, Ben remembered. The boy must have gotten involved with them, afterall every club leader wanted him in their group.

"Hey " Ben said, looking the boy over. His eyes were sullen and his pale complexion was a lot more chalky than usual. He looked sick.

"You alright? " He asked concerned over his appearance but Dan simply fell on him, resting all his weight on the poor boy's shoulder.

Ben was nearly buckling under the weight of Dan which wasn't surprising, the boy was two times taller and muscular than him.

"God, you're crushing me " Ben complained trying to adjust and steady his sagging weight but Dan was oblivious to all this, instead his gaze was focused on the pulsing vein on Ben's neck.

Ben was about to drag him to the school's nurse office when he felt a stabbing pain on his neck.

He screamed and tried to push him away but Dan latched unto him so tight he couldn't move a muscle.

Almost immediately, he felt Dan's weight was taken off me and touched a hand to his neck and was shocked to find blood.

"What the fuck !" He cursed when he saw his goddess at same time trying to restrain Dan who had this rabid look on his face and fangs....Oh my God. That was his last word before he was knocked out cold.

"That went well " Lia said with heavy sarcasm when she saw the way Asher delivered a blow to Ben's head.

Asher ignored her and took the struggling Dan from her grip.

"Stop " He growled in a dangerous tone at Dan whom surprisingly, behaved.

Lia was amazed "How did you do that? "

"Perks of being a leader. Just like an Alpha , the order is undisruptable " He lied through his teeth, he had used his compulsion ability on Dan.

Alpha's order his butt!

" And I'm guessing your undisruptable order can't work on those " She said pointing to the surveillance cameras that was blinking red and had probably captured everything that went down moments ago.

A smug smile captured his face "Don't worry, my men are in charge of those "

Lia was stunned " There are other vampires here? " she asked in a hush tone afraid somebody might be eavesdropping.

"Of course, do you think purebloods and converts are the only vampire in this vicinity?" Asher asked, scooped Ben up and draped him over his shoulder as if he weighed nothing.

"You should talk of hybrids : half human, half vampire, though they're rare species but definitely around " He explained and motioned with his eyes for Dan to tag along as they headed to his office.

"Which is why you shouldn't trust anyone you meet in this school and most especially, people in little Town. Anyone who lives in this town has one or two secrets to protect, nobody is who they seem to be "

Lia frowned, it seems a bit suspicious why their dad wanted them of all places to be here, a town that wasn't even his birthplace.

As if they knew anything about his birthplace, she scorned.

The black pool of blood was still resting in the centre of his office when they arrived. Asher simply waved his hand and the black liquid disipitated into the atmosphere leaving only a black stain behind.

Lia was awed by the scene , if all vampires had special abilities , she wondered what was her's. Though she was skeptical of possessing an ability since no one could even tell what she was.

But she was also thankful Asher's secretary was off duty today else she would've been scared out of her wits if she had witnessed everything that happened. That is, if she wasn't one of Asher's people too.

Asher seem to have lots of surprises stored for her.

"I'm sorry " Dan said, a heartbreaking remorseful look on his face "I can't do anything about the hunger. It's just too much"

Asher snorted a laugh eliciting a scowl from Lia. Why was he laughing at Dan's predicament, shouldn't he be sympathetic?

"He's lieing, he's just luring you. All that matters to him at the moment is feeding " Asher explained.

To prove that, Dan bared his sharp teeth dangerously at her when he discovered his plans were busted.

"What are you going to do? " She asked concerned.

"Thinking on how to get him blood, animal blood can't do the magic at the moment. What he needs right now is pure human blood " He wiped his face with his hand sighing.

"Unfortunately most humans in little Town is accepted and the tourist accounted for "

Lia pursed her lips , thoughtfully " Can't you get a blood bag from a hospital? "

"I can, but my hold on him will relapse thanks to his intense willpower, and I trust you can stand your own but I don't trust an experienced bloodthirsty pure blood vampire in a school full of humans "

Asher made his point, eyes resting on the unconscious Ben sprawled on the ground carelessly, unaware he was sleeping in a den full of consuming lions.

"Then let him take mine "

Asher's head jerked up "No "

"Then do you have another option? " She questioned " I know I'm still some sort of human even though my blood might not be pure anymore. So just let him take mine and save us the trouble "

Asher's face contorted into an ugly scowl, If only she knew taking a vampire's blood that wasn't your mate was similar to committing adultery.
