The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 254 - Two Hundred And Fifty-four: Find Them All

To be honest, Lia had expected Asher to walk through that door. She had been prepared to beat the hell out of him and maybe crush his balls too- he can regrow those, right? Oh, she hadn't time to ask him that, well….

Seriously, Lia get your head back in gear. Stop caring about Asher's umm...Ahem ...where was she?

Oh yeah, she never expected the witch Sabrina, the one who aided Asher in locking her up - one of her best people previously-? to come into the room while supporting another girl who was resting on her and had a hard time walking.

Lia's eyes narrowed on Devon, she had seen Asher come in with her earlier but was too distracted to ask him about her earlier.

"Who is she?" Lia questioned skeptically, a sense of foreboding growing in her heart, "Don't tell me she's also one of Asher's hidden daughters again?"

Everyone was struck speechless by her wrong speculation that they remained unresponsive for a minute - a gesture Lia misunderstood.

"I said it," Lia ran her hand through her hair while pacing up and down the room. She came to stop before Devon.

"Listen here, I love your father, Asher, but there's only so much a girl can take. I'm sorry but I can't deal with all of this shit. Once this war is over, I don't think I can be together with him any longer," Lia confessed.

"It will be so nice if he were my father," Devon finally regained her speech.

"What?"? Said the confused Lia.

"Asher is not her father," clarified Sabrina while readjusting Devon who was slipping off her body, "She's the daughter of the witch on Raphael's side. She's here to get her mother,"

"Oh," Lia was stupefied, she had made a wrong assumption. Good going so far, Lia.

"Y-you should be lucky you have a mate like him. From where I'm from, humans are treated like shit" Devon pointed to her, her speech slurred.

Lia scrutinized her, "What's wrong with her?"

"Well, the tremor earlier was her doing" Sabrina heaved, dragging her to the direction of the bed.

"No, not the bed-" Lia was still saying when Sabrina dumped Devon on the bed to Electra's disapproval - she now had to share it.

Lia scratched her brows, she would have to order another bed. She felt like this one had been violated especially after Raphael's shenanigans with her.

"She sent the whole house through a portal. Right now, we are on Raven soil," narrated Sabrina.

"She did that?" Lia's jaw dropped before it broke into a smile," Hell yeah, Asher must be so pissed!" Jubiliated Lia and was at the door before Sabrina could stop her.

"Lia!" Sabrina called after her.

"You can't stop me this time," She declared.

"I'm not trying to stop you but release you,"

The cuffs on Lia's wrist clicked and fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Don't expect a thank you from me, you locked me," Lia reminded her and was out of the room before she could receive a response.

Right now, her blood was throbbing for the battle ahead and the chance to smash her fist to Raphael's face.

Lia was down the stairs when she picked up two rapidly beating human hearts. Her eyes narrowed, humans? How was that possible? She was sure none of the vampires came with a human nor was a human residing in Asher's place?

She was already prepared to sniff them out when the painful cries of vampires being obliterated got her attention.

Unknown to her, Rex and Trevor who peered out the door after she left sighed in relief. Phew, that was close, thought both.

Lia had seen war in movies but this was totally different from what she envisioned. This was more like what happened in fantasy video games or even better.

There was no use of guns or weapons, it was just sheer hand to hand combat and abilities. Lia understood at once why Asher had brought no human into this war, it was a total massacre.

The battle alone was hard to follow with the human eye; it was a blur, not to talk of the fact that it was late but supernatural creatures had no problem with that; they could see perfectly well in the dark, notwithstanding that the moon shone brightly tonight.

Lia ran headfirst into the fight, she knew the people on her side by smell plus the fact that whoever wasn't helping them was an enemy.

Though she hadn't felt Lolli since that incident in the morning with Raphael however, that didn't limit her from tapping into her werewolf abilities.

The benefit from Lolli's company was that the wolf looked out for her, came up with possible solutions and her chatter made her less lonely.

Lia didn't think much of her sudden disappearance, maybe she just wanted a break. Even she wanted this nuisance to end and things to go back the way they were.

Asher was her target. Lia knew that the jerk had gone to fight Raphael and so far it seems the tricky fox wasn't in the war either. She had to track him down but it wasn't easy when enemy vampires kept coming at her each time she tried to progress further into their territory.

The Raphael clan indeed had more vampires but Asher's vampires were tougher because they had been mastering dual powers since birth or transformation - converted vampires were in the mix too.

A sudden cry of pain attracted Lia just as she finished off a vampire. She glanced up and a few meters away from her was a vampire from the Raven clan who could turn his body into flames and fulminate as well, harming vampires around him.

It was no secret that vampires disliked fire since it hurts them aside from those who could manipulate the very element.

"Asshole," Lia muttered and ran in his direction. She took that opportunity to study his ability and found out he exploded in an interval of two minutes.

When she got to his side, it was time for the asshole to erupt as usual. Things were about to get ugly.

What was evolution? Lia had no idea but that moment, she shut her eyes and imagined how she wanted her power to work for her.

Her hairs stood on edge and Lia felt the spontaneous release of pressure from the vampire which made her open her eyes and with her hands, formed a circular shield around him.

"What the ..." The shield contained the vampire's detonation to his surprise.

With a firm determination, the vampire added more heat which made Lia wince. The intense wave was trying to breach through her shield.

Lia groaned, her feet slipping back from the tremendous force. Due to the evolving, her force field had changed from a transparent color to an ocean blue and visible to the eyes. With a groan, Lia pushed forward and her shield intensified.

All vampires could see was a mass of blue wisp enveloping the reddish-brown flame.

"One...two..." Lia began an internal countdown when the flame would die off.

As soon as the explosion faded away, Lia moved so fast that even the vampire couldn't catch her movement till there was a gaping hole in his chest and his heart dripping blood from her clasp.

"Oh," was the only word the vampire said and crumbled to the floor.

Lia released a shaky breath and shivered. Gosh, that took so much from her, and right now, she was so hungry that her hands were beginning to shake terribly like someone suffering from drug withdrawal.

Her fangs ached and retracted out of her gums on their own accord, the hunger was intense. Without thinking twice, she grabbed an enemy vampire that came her way, tore its throat ruthlessly amid its scream, and fed gluttonously.

The cold blood that rushed down her throat sent a tingling sensation to her stomach. Though the blood wasn't as tasty as Asher's, it alleviated the hunger. Call it punishment or something but Lia fed on the vampire till there wasn't a drop left in his body.

The vampire was pale but when Lia was done, he was paler than chalk as a result of excessive blood loss and Lia tossed him aside like a rag doll.

Blood dripped down her lips and there was some smeared heavily on her shirt however the hybrid didn't give a care and burped instead; she felt a little heady as if on drugs.

"So full," Lia moaned clutching her stomach.

She suddenly felt a cramp in her gut. The pain made her double over and then on all fours as she threw up the excessive blood she ingested.

"That was exciting, wish Ben was here to see this," Lia said while dragging herself to her feet

"Time to find my damned mate," she muttered and began to fight her way through the crowd of vampires blocking her path.

If neither Raphael nor his father was here, that means they were still at the clan house and Asher must have known that hence going after them.

Now, she was going after them all.
