Eyes narrowed and lips compressed into a frown , Asher stared at the interactive couple. What's this girl doing? Why was her eyes trained only on Daniel? Didn't she see he was injured as well ?

" Where did you get hurt again ? " Lia asked and clasped Daniel's face, there was some cuts on his wonderful features. She meticulously examined other parts of his bodies for signs of any injury.

Daniel was leaning against Asher's desk while Lia was standing right in front of him, their bodies almost pressing together as she attended to his injuries unaware of a certain figure, a few meters away from her turning green with jealousy.

Daniel was basking in the attention he was receiving from her and purposely exaggerated his injuries. His wolf loved it when she showers him all her attention instead of attending to that ugly vampire.

Out of the corner of his eyes, Asher saw a mocking smirk curl up Daniel's lips. He froze then seethed inwardly, the idiot was purposely distracting and keeping their mate's attention all to himself.

Anger boiled inside of Asher and he clenched his fist . He closed his eyes and muttered to himself "Calm down , Asher . You're definitely more than this , You can't stoop to this kiddo's level " perhaps , should he ?

He shook the useless thought out of his head and squat down while picking up one of the shards. A lot of thoughts ran through his head, it seems they have encountered a force to be reckoned with.

Till date he hasn't even gotten her name aside from the fact she's normally addressed as "Her Ladyship ".

Though little Town was quite populated but finding people for him wasn't a problem since he has Zukai.

So he had sent Zukai to do an investigation after describing her features in details which he suspected was altered.

As he expected, Zukai didn't come up with anything useful and he understood at once - She was meaningfully telling them ' I won't be found unless I want to be found '

Asher examined one of the scattered shards on the floor wondering how in the world, she was able to crystallize a barrier.

The barrier was a kind of magical circle that can be casted by a witch and functions as some sort of temporary holding cell that traps any creature for up-to twenty-four hours.

Asher shook his head, this shows the council has clearly underestimated the Burning Eaglet this time.

Suddenly a light bulb went off in his head, unless the Burning Eaglet has infiltrated the council already without their knowledge.

His brows furrowed, it seems this impending war would be the greatest of them all. The land would soon be dyed red with blood.

The Great War had been a war involving all supernatural creatures as they fought for dominion, with no side coming out victorious until the witches came up with the idea of a Treaty - a plan for all supernatural creatures to coexist and live in harmony.

At first it was met with a lot of opposition and dissatisfaction as some terms and conditions didn't fit well with some creatures , still requiring several amendments.

Fifty years later, the treaty was finally signed and the coexistence began or so they claim - It was obvious that prejudice against certain species were still ongoing.

Not less than thirty years later, a war arose between the dark witches and the normal witches.

The dark witches are witches who are known to practice forbidden ancient spells which with time links them to a demonic bloodline.

While the overrated normal witches were witches who walk on the path of righteousness and are termed the 'protectors of the universe.'

Initially after the treaty , all the witches lived in peace , each invested in their own kind until everything went down the hill.

The dark witches began to show discontent and outright scorn to the rule. They openly described their administration as "Dictatorial, outrageous , truculent and intransigent "

Soon enough , things turned violent and escalated into a full-scale war called the 'Purge' as both sides went quickly into the business of gathering allies.

His own father, Antonio had sided with the Dark witches which resulted to a full-fledged altercation between the both of them.

Perhaps his father had an inkling he wasn't going to make it cause he readily agreed to Asher parting from him with half of the clan while the rest stayed back. In the end, Antonio had perished along with the rest of his people.

Asher flinched when he realized he had mistakenly cut himself with the shard. He was so distracted, he hadn't even realized he was still stroking the shard.

"How can you hurt yourself like this? Are you a kid? " Lia chided and even hit him on the shoulder as if he were a kid.

Asher looked up surprised. At lest , it was comforting to know she still remembers he exists.

Why did she come anyway? wasn't she preoccupied with her darling Daniel?

But Lia did something he never expected.

She took his injured finger into her mouth and began to suck on it.

Being startled was an understatement cause Asher was utterly flabbergasted, what was she doing?

Such an innocent gesture aroused Asher to the extent his throbbing member strained against the zipper of his pants, wanting to be unleashed.

Though werewolves were not able to sense an undead creature's pheromones but the look on Asher's face was a straight giveaway to Daniel and he released a feral growl in response.

Even Lia somehow noticed it cause she let go of his hand at once " I-Im.. s-sor..ry " She spluttered uncontrollably.

" But it would be a terrible shame to see the blood go to waste " She apologized with a tinge of regret on her face.

"Fine, just return to your class " Asher groaned, trying his best to subdue a certain monster down there.

" But - "

"No but, go now ! " Asher snapped at her and she rushed out of his office incited by the edge to his voice.

Behind him, Daniel growled " We need to set boundaries "

Asher breathed " Sure we do "
