"Missed me? " Gideon teased as soon as his sight fell on Asher. The guy of course couldn't do without him for long.
Asher ignored him, he had bigger things on his mind at the moment such as how to punish that little vixen for manipulating him. At first he thought he should lay his frustration on Gideon but after a while, it changed. Why punish someone who didn't commit the crime? Gideon definitely didn't forcefully Kis- well, you get the point.
He studied Gideon for a while before the door snapped open, using his mind, he tossed Gideon carelessly out of the room and slammed the door closed.
"You're welcome " He said when he saw the peeved expression on Gideon's face.
"Thanks, hehe " Gideon was forced to smile nervously, if there was anything he feared about that guy, it was his dark sense of humour.
So he followed Asher without saying a word, he was great at interpreting Asher's mood which is why he's being able to stay by his side for this long, his mood now was screaming ' I want to murder someone '. Along the way, Asher grabbed some human who was passed out and bleeding on the floor.
Gideon was short of words when he saw that scene. Just how much did he miss during his imprisonment, he sensed things weren't as simple as they looked.
Asher dragged that stupid human along until they reached his study before dumping him at a corner of the room.
" I thought we were about to have a soirée?" Gideon asked when he saw the sleeping human.
" You wish " Asher retorted "It was your inability to control your thirst that led to my predicament today "
Gideon raised a brow, interesting, he was definitely missing out on something here "What predicament? "
" I have been bewitched " Asher confessed expecting some kind of positive response from his trusted henchman but he was in for a loss.
Gideon didn't know whether Asher was being serious or pulling his legs but judging from his countenance, he looked serious. He suddenly burst into laughter, clapping his hands along. ƒ𝑟e𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋no𝙫𝒆l - 🅽🅽novel
"Whoah, wait a moment." Gideon laughed "You're trying to say you've been bewitched and not you doing the bewitching? " He asked and burst into laughter again.
And that was the scene that greeted Dan when he arrived. He was more than shocked, in the sense he's being thinking of meeting a scenario where Asher was beating the hell out of Gideon, and had hurried thinking his life was hanging by a thread, but this scene? Totally unexpected.
" She's back and safe " Dan announced his presence but Asher didn't flinch at all. If anything he didn't seem bothered as if he'd been expecting him.
"Oh, she should be "
His voice was grim leaving Dan confused. Asher was supposed to be furious having discovered the girl was not what he expected her to be instead he looked disturbed. Could it be he didn't know yet?
"Brother " Dan called, his hand resting on his shoulder " Asher here was just telling me how he's being bewitched? "
Dan was momentarily stunned by his words before his head snapped at Asher's direction, what the hell was Gideon talking about? How could someone bewitch Asher? the master of compulsion. Wait..
"Is he talking about the girl? " He directed the question at Asher.
Asher looked up, relieved, atlest the intelligent one was back but before he could explain Gideon interrupted.
" Wait. What girl? Are you both keeping something from me? " he accused, gripping Dan tightly.
"We aren't hiding anything from you, you were just absent to witness it all " Dan replied meaningfully glaring at Gideon, trying to untangle himself from his clasp.
Gideon regarded him suspiciously "You sure?"
" Of course, I'm sure cause I witnessed it all. Now get the hell away from my body, you pervert! " He roared pushing him away. When curious, Gideon tends to be demanding, touchy and clingy.
" So what happened? " Dan asked seriously, crossing his arms over his chest.
Asher rubbed his temple, he finally spilled the beans " She kissed and fed on me "
"What?! "
"oh"
Dan looked away, now he understood why Asher was fuming mad. Earlier when Asher walked into that room, he couldn't tell what happened afterwards cause Asher allegedly used his ability to obscure the one way glass window. But now everything made sense, he could relate.
To a vampire, taking and drinking blood from a willing human or patron can be quite intimate which is why most times, it's done discreetly. But blood sharing between vampires was a whole different level.
Naturally, a vampire feeding from another vampire gives zero energy and nourishment rather it's for pleasure most especially between mates. Blood sharing is kind of sexual, which is why most times doing it to another vampire who isn't your mate is equivalent to adultery.
Moreover, pure bloods are vampires born to two vampires. Unlike convert vampire, pure bloods are royalty cause they possess vampire blood in their DNA. So to say, because they have a pure and untainted bloodline, often they tend to look down upon hybrids and convert vampires.
Unfortunately the girl, a converted vampire had taken and not only taken but fed on a pure blood without permission, which is to say, she just asked for a death sentence.
And boy!, how much anger Asher was feeling inside. He probably wants to punish her for such derogatory action but he can't, his hands are tied.
"And why is this wound not healing?! " Asher snapped furiously rubbing the spot on his neck where she fed on.
Hearing that statement, Dan and Gideon's gaze met and held. uh-oh.
Gideon rushed at Asher immediately, tilting his head to the side, he observed the wound. Unlike what Asher claims, the wound has healed but there was a scar. Unfortunately, vampires don't scar unless marked by their...
"She's your mate " Gideon blurted out without even realizing it. What a blabber mouth!
Asher gave him a stupid glance, what's this fool talking now.
"It's true Asher, she seems to be your mate " Dan supported. No wonder, this explains why Asher was so attracted to her.
"Congratulation, you've been marked ".
