The She-Devil And Her Alphas

There was a displeased expression on Asher's face which the others noticed at once. The both knew what the ritual signified eventhough the ignorant humans viewed it as just a plausible excuse to organize a party. It was a whole lot more than that .

Once the "acceptance " ritual was performed on a certain person, he or she was now immune to the vampires hypnosis. In one word, the vampires couldn't just go around taking people's blood else the council would find out unless the individual in question permits them, which the probability of that occurring is 1 out of 100.

So how are they surviving?

Animal blood and some other supplements known as human food. Unlike the forklores surrounding Vampires inability to consume human food which has being proven false. They could consume human food without any harm being done to the body but it was just like eating junk food. it contributed nothing to their body.Moreover it was a good cover so humans couldn't question their diet amid their appearance.

But there was a problem with Animal blood.

No matter how much animal blood they consumed, there was still this insatiable ache in them - the taste for human blood. Comparing human blood to animal blood was like asking a girl to choose between a d*ck and a sex toy moreover there's this sexual feeling that comes with drinking from a human compared to an animal's

Also the amount of energy acquired from drinking human blood was two times greater than the energy acquired from drinking animal's which is why rogue vampire who feed on human blood till they're sucked dry are much stronger than the normal vampires and are often killed off by the hunters.

So in order to prevent the human race from going extinct, an "acceptable" ceremony is held for a newcomer in which an elder aka a witch in disguise places a protection hex on the individual which is often triggered when a vampire tries to take the individuals blood without permission and in turn the council gets notified and sends out their army called "Hunters " who in turn finishes the vampire at the spot .But if the vampire is lucky enough or of a very high status, a trial is held where he or she will be determined guilty or not.

This law was put in place to ensure no race is threatened or extinct. And it has being working except the council are ignorant of one thing - Asher's second ability,

Hypnosis.

Every Vampire is born with a natural hypnotic ability which is rendered useless when used on an "accepted " individual but that wasn't the case with Asher. His ability was so much potent that he could hinder the hex from triggering until he's done.

Which is how they've being getting their monthly supply of secret human blood in moderation, he was smart enough not to get greedy and trigger the council's suspicion.

But what was more dangerous about Asher's ability is the fact he could hypnotize not only human but other vampires as well. A fact only Gideon and Dan, his closest and trusted allies knows.

All vampires have a distinct innate ability that comes to manifestation as something humans calls "super powers " And most vampires has their abilities attuned to a single element. For example, a vampire attuned to a water element can never possess nor manipulate fire even as a second ability , but that wasn't the case with Asher.

Asher was something out of this world, he alone possesses the ability to manipulate all four element which made him one of the most lethal and powerful vampire in the world and in little Town. Imagine if little Town made an enemy of Asher, they would still incur much damages and death even if they end up decapitating him.

Perhaps in the future, there would come someone who would be able to challenge Asher but at the moment he was not to be trifled with.

"Don't even think about it " Asher warned seeing the gleeful anticipation on Gideon's face. Without even being a seer, he could already guess what's going on in his mind.

"Can't I just have one taste? " Gideon whined

"No !" he bellowed

Aside from his ability, there was another way of drinking human blood but it was much riskier. A vampire could drink a newcomers blood before he or she is "accepted " but it was risky cause there's eyes everywhere in little Town so you could get killed , also a vampire could lose control and kill their prey by draining them dry and still end up being killed by the council's hunter.

The council exist for the purpose of balance not only in Little Town but in the entire world and is founded by specifically handpicked powerful humans and supernatural clan leaders. So in one word, it's another strong secret organization of its own.

"I'll be careful " He pouted his lips smiling coaxingly 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

Asher's gaze darkened at once, all humour draining from his face , he turned to look at Gideon.

"I will not have my clan perish because of your idiotic death wish " He warned decisively. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

Gideon's heart sank, he knew that Asher's decision was final but he couldn't help it. He had this urgent burning need for human blood . Upon consuming tons of animal blood in the woods he wasn't anything near the word 'satiated ' . The urge was driving him nuts so since Asher won't help him, he'll have to figure out another way.

"Fine then" He murmured . Wrapping the shadow around him, he disappeared before Dan could protest.

"Follow him, don't allow him do anything stupid " Asher ordered as Dan nodded and left.

Left alone, Asher sighed before heading back to his bedroom. He needed to bury himself in Caroline's body, he needed a release right now.
