Lia picked up the stranger's heartbeat before he had actually mistakenly hit his feet on the boxes parked at the corner.

Judging from his panic, she could tell he had seen everything and there was no way in hell she was letting him escape.

The boy ran with all his might - that girl is a freak . He had actually seen what she had done with her hands and there was no way that could've been a dream.

He just needed to run a little further then he will be out in the open where he will be protected and then tell everyone what he has seen.

But he never expected to bump into someone - ah principal Asher, a saviour.

"Principal Asher , there's - " He had yet to finish his statement when principal Asher looked into his eyes and said just a word.

" Sleep "

He was shocked to discover he couldn't control his motor skills any longer and all of a sudden, his eyelids began to feel heavy. The next he knew, he slumped to the ground. Asleep.

Lia knew she was getting close to the boy but was shocked to discover Asher had beaten her to it. The boy was lying unconscious on the ground, and yes very much alive, just taking a nap.

Ben trailed after her, heaving and gasping for breath - right, Ben sucks in sports, he had little endurance.

"What do you two not understand about being discreet?" Asher scolded emphasizing on the word 'discreet ' but Lia was not listening at all.

She was busy staring at him, scrutinizing his face with meticulous attention to detail. Lia wondered how he looks when jealous? No matter how much she fit Ben's description into reality, it just wasn't imaginable .

"Is there something on my face? " Asher frowned but she shook her head.

"Then why are you staring at me that way? " He asked curiously this time.

"Nothing" She shrugged "Just appreciating God's handwork " Lia flirted right away with a coy smile.

Asher was flattered by her words, he wasn't anticipating this at all.So he smiled back in return and simply reached out an arm, drawing her towards him and wrapped her in his arms.

While Ben was busy oohing and aahing at the scene from behind so he had to literally use his ability to toss him out of there.

Then he bent and kissed Lia , tasted her as if he had all the time in the world. It was crazy how he could miss, yearn and desire someone as if his entire life depends on it.

He would've come to her last night but Raphael had kept him preoccupied with his petty shenanigans . Though it hurts his heart whenever he thinks of the fact that she would have to choose between him and Daniel very soon.

Asher knew there was a high probability he wouldn't be chosen, after all Daniel originally was meant to be her mate before everything got messed up.

So he was going to cherish and savour every moment he had left with her. Though the rejection would hurt - if not destroy him, but he would hang unto this memories.

"Asher " She moaned when her back hit the wall and he pinned her hands as well. The once sweet, gentle and playful kiss had turned passionate and demanding.

" We're making out in front of a student " Lia managed to rasp a sentence when he left her lips and moved to her neck.

"Don't worry, he won't be getting up anytime soon " Came his reply as his two fangs emerged and grazed her neck lightly making her shiver.

She gasped "Classes has begun "

"I'm your principal, everyone else falls under my authority " he smirked and suckled on the sensitive spot between Lia's neck and shoulder making her release a sound of pleasure.

Lia discovered there was something different about Asher recently. After confessing he was her mate, he seems unrestrained and eager to express his feelings for her as if the chain holding him back has been broken.

It was quite funny, she had initially disliked this particular guy because of his inappropriate relationship with a student - She even sighed up on a secret mission to catch him red-handed in the act but now she's the one wrapped tight in the act . And now he was her mate - she could relate

Lia perfectly now had an idea of what Daniel meant by the 'mating fever' .

It was a battle . An intense battle.

You feel this unexplainable fervent urge to just be with that special someone and no matter what , your thoughts would constantly drift off to that person and you feel the pull, the need to just touch, lick, kiss, skin to skin - It was excruciating cause the more you fight it , the more attracting and stronger the pull gets.

"Feed "

Just these two words from him but it sends her body pulsing with excitement. Asher knows how much feeding while under pleasure feels -Its quite heavenly.

Like you're high on cloud nine and there's no stopping until you reach that climax where everything settles.

Lia felt her fang ache, struggling to be released and she obliged them happily.

Running her hands through his hair, she grabbed it and tugged it backward before tracing his collar bone with her fangs feeling him shiver under her touch.

She continued her hot feathery trail until her

eyes rested on that vein that seem to be calling out to her.

Lia sank her fangs into that narrow tube while Asher groaned from the intense pleasure that rippled through him.

She gradually took the liquid feeling like she was flying on angels wings and kept soaring and soaring until the pleasure from the feeding exploded and washed over her.

She sank against Asher exhausted and satiated while he smoothed her hair. He smiled when he discovered her once fading purplish-red,

orbs were now a full blazing magenta - she was full.

Lia leaned her head on Asher's shoulder - She sincerely hopes he wasn't jealous anymore. Truthfully, she had thought she would be guilt-ridden considering the fact she had snuggled with the wolf last night and made out with the vampire this morning , but surprisingly, it felt right. Like it was supposed to be.
