The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 26 - Twenty - Six : She's A Living Time Bomb

Dan was startled at the whole happenings, firstly Asher had strode confidently into the room, next the girl's meal was flung out of the room like same piece of trash, next he came out fuming like an angry bull with the girl resting on his shoulder lifelessly. She was knocked out. Again.

"Get that little vixen out of my sight " Asher commanded practically tossing the girl to him.Dan wanted to protest but the words stucked in his throat when he met Asher's glare.

As if sensing his hesitation, Asher added "Now!"

Dan gritted his teeth , scooped the girl into his arms properly and disappeared in a puff of wispy smoke.

Asher snorted " Show off " and walked towards Gideon's prison room. He had a lot of grievances in his heart, maybe Gideon would be the perfect candidate to vent his frustration on. Atlest he's the reason all this started, he told himself.

Dan arrived in the girl's room and was relieved to see nobody noticed her disappearance. Though he had a backup plan, he penned down a written note earlier explaining she was out for a walk incase they did look for her, in order not to attract unnecessary attention.

With their amazing memory, it was not difficult for him to copy her writing .Infact, it was just so-so compared to a lot of things he could do.

Careful not to wake her from her sleep, he carefully laid her on the bed. He had to admit, even though she wasn't a fully converted Vampire yet , she was really good-looking. No wonder Asher took a fancy to her even though he wouldn't admit it.

He turned, about to leave when he froze. Oh my God! He rushed and kneeled beside her bed, placing his head a few distance away from her heart, he listened to her heartbeat. Her heartbeat was strong and fast, completely opposite to what it's supposed to be.

He jerked away from her, horror clearly written on his face. How was he so blind ? How couldn't he notice this? He just thought it was normal. Normally a vampire has a cold temperature, when their skin meets with another vampire's , it doesn't exactly feel chilly like most people thinks . Rather it feels warm and normal to them but her's was scalding hot, which was absolutely impossible.

But she clearly died with the venom and Gideon's blood in her system, she wasn't supposed to have this kind of heartbeat and body temperature.

Unlike what humans think , when a person is infected with a vampire venom, their heart don't stop immediately .It keeps beating but slowly as the venom saturates every bit of their cell until it finally reaches the heart and bam! heartbeat over.

Though transition last for one to three days but it varies from human to human, depending on the kind of vampire whom injected the venom. When infected by a pure blood, transition is quick and less painful.

But transition can never be completed without feeding which is why the hunger kicks in. The hunger is so wrenchingly painful that if an almost transited human doesn't feed, he or she could die. The purpose of the feeding is to solidate the transformation and provide energy.

But unlike other converted vampires, this girl here still has an active heart which was strangely beating faster than a normal human's. She's definitely not a vampire but something beyond.

Dan smacked his forehead, Asher was indeed right, this girl was a living time bomb. It was worth noting that whatsoever the dark witches got their hands on, it tends to be prodigious and catastrophic. Nothing good ever comes out of it.

Without even talking about the dark witches, if the council gets an idea of her, they'll do everything in their power to eradicate her if they can't figure out what she is. The council was best at erasing what they termed as future threat to man's existence.

Although the council claims their existence is to balance the humans and the supernaturals but Dan knows if the council can't use you, they get rid of you. It was just a game of politics.

He sighed , the girl definitely has bad fate. Perhaps, he would've gotten rid of her and remove this cruel kismet placed on her before it was too late but they were watching, he could not sabotage Asher's plan to save their clan.

The Nicoli clan might be one of the strongest but it was the smallest with their kins scattered about the continent. They were always on the move, searching for the one thing missing from their life - their mate. Infact it was surprising Asher had stayed in little Town for this long, it was the closest thing he could call a home.

A groan from the girl jerked him out of his thoughts, using his ability, he disappeared right away. His thoughts were scattered, he couldn't tell if Asher knew something was wrong with the girl.

But Asher was smart, he should have figured out a thing or two, it was probably why he was angry earlier. He still couldn't forget the look on his face, it was murderous. Of course, it had to be it!

Asher knew what the girl was, Dan was relieved. Along the way he's being trying to figure out how to break the news to Asher, to tell him the girl he was recently hitting on was something absolutely unimaginable. Judging from Asher's unpredictable behavior, he would likely do something stupid probably to Gideon since the girl is off-limits.

But the scene that greeted him when he returned was not what he expected, it was well.. surprising?
