The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 252 - Two Hundred And Fifty-two: Frozen With Joy

Jenny blinked, adjusting to the light as the blindfold was pulled off her eyes. The last thing she remembered was a stranger entering her room but before she could question his intention or call for help, her vision had darkened.

Was she kidnapped? But who would want to kidnap her? She didn\'t even have much money other than the support her late husband had kept for the children.

But what kind of kidnapper leaves her unrestrained and lays her on a safe comfy bed. Totally weird, unless the kidnapper was a psychopathic pervert who wanted to have his way with her.

Jenny stood up, goosebumps covered her arms while fear gripped her heart "Oh my God," she gasped, rubbing her face with her palms. Where were her kids? Were they kidnapped alongside her? If they were, where were they? What if that son of a biscuit did something to them?

"You\'re up," a voice sounded from behind her.

Jenny screamed out of fright, hands flying to her chest, and turned around. The sudden emergence of Asher had scared the shit out of her.

"How are you doing?" Raphael asked, drinking in the sight of her.

"Asher," her gaze rested on the door. Jenny wondered how he had made it through that door without her noticing. Doors do make creaking sounds, right? Or maybe she was too distracted to notice him? This was getting creepy.

"Asher? Were you the one that brought me here?" She took deep breaths to keep herself from panicking. Oblivious that the vampire could smell the anxiety off of her.

"Technically, I did. Just sent my men to get you, have any problem with that?" He fixed his intense gaze on her.

Jenny gulped and tactically avoided his question, asking instead," Why am I here?"

"Sure, I\'ll tell you your role in all of this but before that…" he began to step towards her slowly while Jenny took cautious steps back, "We have to make some things clear here, "

Jenny was so stricken with fear that she literally melded herself with the wall when Raphael invaded her space. She hated being trapped but something told her that this seemingly innocent principal was highly dangerous- call it human survival instincts or something.

"What do you want from me? Who are you truly?"

His smirk grew as he said," I\'ll? rather answer the second question at this rate"

"You\'re not a principal, are you? Am I the only one you kidnapped? Did you take my children as well?" Jenny peppered Raphael with questions out of anxiety. She would rather die than let harm come to her kids.

"Don\'t worry, I\'m not a principal, but the real principal is my loser of a brother. Are you satisfied?" He was amused.

Jenny\'s brows knitted together, "What are you talking about?"

He rolled his eyes in boredom, as if this was an everyday confession, "It means that I\'m Raphael, not Asher; borrowed his body though, "

"W-what," Jenny was speechless

"I know it sounds unbelievable but it\'s the truth," he shrugged.

"Oh my God," Jenny gasped, "Does the education board know you\'re mentally unstable before allocating you the role of a principal?"

"And of course, she does not believe me," Raphael said more to himself than to her, "You humans and your negligence," he clicked his tongue, shaking his head.

He continued, "Your unwillingness to comprehend things beyond your scope of understanding, would be your downfall sometimes, "

Jenny\'s heart slammed against her chest, her hands were clammy and she was nervous at what she was about to do, "I know what would be your downfall, "

Raphael\'s eyes twinkled with interest, "Really? Amuse me, "

Abruptly, Jenny grabbed the flower vase on the table beside her and brought it down hard on his head, giving her the avenue to escape.

"And this is the mistake they always make," Raphael cracked his neck.

"Just a little more," Jenny desperately chanted in her head, her breath coming in heaves. But just a few inches from touching the door, Raphael materialized in front of her out of nowhere.

"Going somewhere?" His brows arched.

Jenny screamed, stepping back with fright. How was that possible? " H-how did you..."

The rest of her words died off when her eyes focused on the large gush she had made on his head with the flower vase close up. Holy shit!

"Ahh, sorry about that," Raphael wiped away the dried blood with a handkerchief," We are still at the beginning stage of this introduction, so I forgot to add the fact that I\'m vampire, "

If Jenny thought he was joking earlier, now, he wasn\'t. She had seen enough evidence to confirm that this wasn\'t child\'s play anymore.

Her heart rate increased, "Y-yo mean to say you\'re really v-vam ...V-vampires…" she stuttered out of fear.

"Yeah, creatures of the night who depend on human blood? Yes, you\'re welcome, "

"What do you want from me? I never did anything wrong to you," she was on the verge of crying, "I\'m just a lowly widow trying her best to train her kids, "

"Oh, don\'t worry," Raphael placed both hands on her shoulder but she jumped away," Don\'t worry, Mi Amor, I don\'t intend to kill you- if things go well- I just need to use you and? keep someone in check, "

Jenny\'s eyes widened to the size of saucers and her palms went to her mouth," Raphael?"

"The one and only," he winked at her.

Jenny\'s mind was reeling from the excessive information she had just been fed in a short while. He hadn\'t been lying to her earlier about his identity. But how was all this possible?

Her mind couldn\'t help but shift back to her kids. Had Lia somehow known about this, was that why she warned her to stay away from Raphael that time?

"Oh, and you don\'t have to worry about your kids. Your daughter Lia is one of us- a vampire- well, technically, she\'s a vampire-werewolf hybrid," he added, " And she\'s destined to have two husbands - Asher and Daniel- don\'t ask me if they had a threesome already?"

Raphael continued his ramble which he found quite entertaining thanks to the countless emotions playing out on her face.

"And your other kids are Hunters. They are mortal instruments used to exterminate us in the past. Right now, they\'re just puppets used by the council to carry out their dirty .. Jenny?"

Raphael waved his hand at the face of the woman who had gone completely still and got no response; she didn\'t even blink her eye.

"Wow, she\'s frozen with Joy!" Raphael exclaimed, "I would have loved unfreezing you but duty calls," Raphael placed a kiss on the cheeks of the unresponsive Jenny and left.

"Your father wants to see you," announced the vampire who had interrupted his moment with Jenny.

Raphael didn\'t say anything as he headed to the office of the only person who had been in support of his plan from the very beginning- his father.

He knew better than to tell his mother his intention, the woman would begin her usual pep talk when in reality, she just cared about her bastard son more than she did for him.

When he heard of his father Ezekiel, putting his mother and mate in hibernation, he didn\'t quibble much on it. The woman should have a sound sleep till their plan was finally executed without her being a hindrance.

Raphael met his father\'s scrunched up face when he arrived, the man had still not gotten used to the fact that he had Asher\'s body, hence his face too.

"Hundreds of vampires from the Nicolli clan had been spotted on our soil," Ezekiel delivered the news.

"That quickly?" His brows furrowed contemplatively. How could they have moved everyone in just a short time? Oh Sabrina, they still had that tough witch on their side?

Raphael had surmised that his lovely brother would end the witch in a fit of rage over her betrayal but it seems his brother was weak-hearted to do so- as usual.

"That\'s great then," he simply said.

"That\'s great?" Ezekiel snorted," They brought the battle to our doorstep, you know who\'s going to accumulate the greatest damage?!"? He hissed.

"Other than the loss of lives and property, I don\'t see anything we can\'t reclaim from them after we win" Raphael pointed out.

"If anything goes wrong, it\'s all on you. I told you to follow my part of the plan but you insisted on getting the body and the girl" He blamed his son.

"Assigning blame here, are we, father?" His eyes flashed, "All I ever asked you to do was to keep him away for a while, and yet he escaped right under your nose and not only that but with an inexperienced powerful young witch. So who messed up?"

Ezekiel\'s gaze hardened, as father and son began a staredown.

"Tell me you have a plan," Ezekiel was the first to pull his eyes away. His son was the epitome of smart and cunning and must have something up his sleeve to be this calm.

"As usual father," Raphael\'s lips tugged to the side in a smile.

Suddenly, they heard a loud thud from a distance.

"What was that?" His father asked, brows furrowed.

"I have no idea but whatever it is, it\'s wartime,"
