"No way " Dan refused right away " Don't involve me in this outrageous plan of yours, go find Gideon "

Asher replied calmly "You know it's a no-no when it comes to Gideon, you're the perfect vampire for the job "

"Then what about the clan? who would protect it from external threat ? moreover I've being on the hot trail of a rogue vampire for a while now, just a little more and I'll have him in my custody " Dan tried to buy his way out with excuses, sadly , Asher saw through his plan.

" Gideon can handle it, he might not be intellectually smart but when it comes to combat prowess, he can make a firm stand . Also, zukai can track down your rogue vampire.So problem solved "

Dan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, sometimes it was a bad thing having a smart leader.

"I hate highschool " Dan confessed drawing an amused smile from Asher's lips

"Well suck it up, you're about to start one " Asher said, opened a drawer and brought out two pairs of packaged clothes. He swung them at Dan's direction, which he caught swiftly with his hands.

"I can't believe I'm doing this " Dan murmured in disbelief. One moment he was tracking a rogue vampire, the next he was summoned to Asher's office.

He thought something bad had happened, cause this was the first time he was ever called to Asher's workplace and hurried over, only to discover this atrocious plan of his - babysitting.

For Christ sake, he was five hundred and thirty years old! What's an old man like him going to do in highschool? Eventhough vampires do take up human occupation out of boredom , in order to blend in with the society and avoid suspicion, he had never considered schooling.

He has lost track of his previous occupations but he was sure of once being a detective, trader, governor, doctor, lawyer, and even a priest.

He had accomplished all this through reading and never once went to school. All his licenses were forged and had tied up loose ends with his natural compulsive ability.

Then, there was nothing like the council to limit their powers and influence. The only problem was the hunters but they were less formidable than the council of today , making them easy to control and eliminate

"You said you didn't care about her" Dan complained tearing open the package.

"She's my mate " Asher blurted out without even realizing it.

Dan raised an accusing brow " Really? But you weren't exactly enthusiastic the first time I mentioned her "

Asher wet his lips and stared him straight in the eyes " Witches ploy or not, she was made for me and so, belongs to me "

"She's not a property but your mate " Dan corrected taking off his shirt, baring his perfectly toned up six abdominal packs.

Asher looked away grimly , an atrocious thought in his head. He was reconsidering sending Dan to his mate, what if that stupid girl sees his abs and starts falling for Dan instead?

It can't be, he thought. Well, when push comes to shove, he'll have no choice than to showoff his own toned abs to her as well.

"Fine, whatever you say " He grumbled, his mind still immersed with the six packs issue.

Thankfully, Gideon didn't know that the girl he fed and his mate were the same person, else he would've gotten a lot on his plate by now.

" Earth to Asher!" Dan said, snapped his fingers and he awoke from his reverie.

"Sorry " He apologized "I got carried away and you're done " He said admiring Dan's transformation.

Dan was wearing an ash coloured V-neck sweatshirt with the words `Best Friends? Bitch Please She's My Sister' printed boldly on it and a slim denim jeans.The clothes felt so right against his pale yet flawless skin making he look so charming. Asher knew he would fit perfectly well with the humans save he doesn't blow his cover.

"Splendid but not yet done " Asher complimented while Dan rolled his eyes, what's next?

He opened another drawer and brought out a black designer backpack and handed it over to him saying "That's the finishing touch. Now welcome to highschool "

It took everything in Dan not to abandon these hideous mission and teleport away . He never believed at age five hundred and, he will be attending highschool for the first time.

Almost immediately, the door snapped open and a stoic looking strawberry blonde woman came walking in.

"Ah, good timing, mrs Sheila . I want you to meet my cousin, Dan Nicoli " Asher said to the woman who seem to have facial paralysis and pointed towards him.

" Dan, meet my assistant Mrs Sheila " Asher said, gesturing with his eyes for him to pay her respect.

Dan grumbled inwardly, he was twenty times or so older than this woman, yet he had to submit to her. Well, it was all for the mission, he comforted himself

"Nice to meet you, Mrs Sheila " he said finally and bowed his head.

"And you too, Dan " She replied finally with a smile but he couldn't help but feel it was insincere. Did he by chance anger her somehow?

"Dan transferred from his former school and will be schooling with us from now on. I've handled his papers so you don't need to stress yourself over that but I'll love it if you would give him a tour of the school " Asher added "please, he's quite dear to me "

Mrs Sheila wanted to protest but the earnest gaze, more like charming gaze from Asher changed her mind. Without even using his ability, Asher had this natural charm that compels women to do his bid.

"Fine then "She agreed and turned to face Dan "Follow me "

"Behave " Asher mouthed to him the moment they left.

Perhaps if Dan knew, he should've asked Asher to compell the woman from asking questions cause her questions never stopped.

Where are you from? who's your parents? How are you related to Asher? and all.

Unlike Gideon , Dan was smart and kept evading her questions until the tour came to an end , she had no choice than to let him be.

It was lunch break by the time they were done, with his super intelligence, tried to come up with a map of possible places the girl could be . He figured out the girl would come to the cafeteria to refuel her lost energies and had gone there excitedly.

What he never expected was this set of bizarre humans surrounding him and screaming his head off. They all kept trying to touch him, with this strong infatuated glint in their eyes, he cursed Asher at once. He would get back at him for putting him in this miniature hell !
