The She-Devil And Her Alphas-Chapter 43 - Fourty - Three : She Felt A Storm Was Brewing Beneath His Calm Front.

Asher was disturbed, for some strange reasons he felt restless. Was it because of the girl? There was a myth that said , when the bond between mates strengthens, they could begin to feel each other's emotions. But he wasn't sure of that cause the only thing they ever did was kiss, a kiss she initiated and forced on him.

He picked up his phone, about to call Dan when a knock sounded on his door.

"Come in " he answered.

The door snapped open and in came his would've-have-been-sacked secretary alongside Daniel? and his henchpeople.

"Your visitors, sir " The secretary announced

"Leave " He said.

The secretary passed him a brief glance, bowed and left, closing the door behind her.

Asher stood, hands in his pocket

"Daniel" he breathed

"Alpha of the silver pack, to what do I owe this pleasant visit of yours?" He said, half-teasing, half- welcoming smile on his face.

"You have something that belongs to me " Daniel said straightforwardly, took a seat without being told, crossing his leg over the other in a business like manner.

"Oh " Asher snorted?and sat back on his plushy swivel seat. His gaze lingered on Daniel's female guard , where did he get such hot damsel from? Her ass was one in a million.

As if reading his pervy thought, Judith glared threateningly at him but his response was to wink at her. Judith balled her hands into fist, she would throttle this casanova given the chance.

Ryan somehow noticed their silent communication and growled, a low rumble in his throat but everyone heard his warning, loud and clear.

Eventhough Daniel was clueless on what was going on but he figured out the stupid vampire must have hit on Judith provoking Ryan .

Daniel knew Ryan and Judith were a thing but he pretended to be clueless, atlest that way they wouldn't flaunt their love in front of him, not to talk of filling his ears with sexual innuendos.

Asher cleared his throat " You said I have something that belongs to you, what is it then? "

"My mate " He answered grimly.

The playful expression on Asher's face wore off at once, he leaned towards his desk, hands clasped together

"What are you talking about?"

Daniel answered calmly " One of your men has my mate, apparently saved her from a Mandurugo attack but I want her back, now "

As if the idea of one of his men having Daniel's mate wasn't disturbing, hearing the name 'Mandurugo ' sent a deep frown on his face.

Mate issues was not something to be trifled with, not even between clan members talk more different species cause it could trigger a war, but having a mandurugo around was adding fuel to the already burning fire.

Those creatures were vicious, crafty and troublesome like a bug. Eventhough they were easy to kill, they never die alone, always vengeful , unleashing collateral damage wherever they go.

"Where did this happen? " Asher asked seriously.

"On your school grounds " Daniel answered truthfully, a hint of mockery in his tone.

Asher ignored Daniel, he understood what he was blaming him for, he let a mandurugo into his school. As if it was easy to detect them. Mandurugos were difficult to detect in human skin unless transformed or under strict surveillance.

"Your mate is a student at my school ?" Asher asked surprised, it was difficult to find silver pack members studying in his school , that was just how deep his bad blood with Daniel ran.

Not that he refused them admission, he didn't care anyway, but Daniel would not hear of it. Working or studying here was like committing treason against him.

" I didn't know she was my mate until recently " Daniel explained reluctantly, wondering why he was saying all this to him.

"Care to share her name? " Asher inquired, a curious glint in his eyes.

Daniel frowned noticing his countenance

"why should I? "

Asher audaciously arched a brow and vented his frustration on him "Because you obviously need my help and she's a student at my school moreover she was taken by one of my men as you claim "

"I don't need your help, I just you to return what belongs to me! " Daniel sassed back banging his hand on Asher's desk sending a few items flying to the ground.

" Oh really? " Asher stood, staring him straight in the eye challengingly

"Really " Daniel challenged back 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

"Her f*cking name is Lia Darlington " Judith interrupted their intense stare down. She couldn't understand why this two loggerheads wouldn't compromise for once.

At the mention of that name, Asher stiffened, his face raw with emotion.

"What did you just say? "

Judith stared at him confused , why was he giving her that murderous look " Lia Darlington? "

If Asher had a beating heart, he would've died from a heartattack by now. Lia was Daniel's mate. How was that possible? Lia was clearly his mate unless..... those witches!

He was boiling with anger , they dare to play with him? with his feelings?. Asher clutched his fist, he won't take this lying down. He has it out for them now.

"You know her? " Daniel asked seeing the diverse emotions on his face. For some unknown reasons, he felt threatened.But why?

Asher shook his head "I thought I knew her but I guess am wrong " he denied. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Judith couldn't help but feel he was lieing, she saw the ever-changing look on his face earlier, ranging from disbelief to anger to humiliation and then fury. His gaze left her?unsettled, she felt a storm was brewing beneath his calm front.

"But I promise you, I'll deliver her to you personally " He promised, an icy smile on his face.
