The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 137 - One Hundred And Thirty- Seven : It\'s Time

"We can\'t tell him that, " Sabrina protested.

"But we need his help, it\'ll take time to gather my forces and I don\'t know what that Lawrence would do to Lia now she\'s unprotected " Asher reasoned much to Sabrina\'s annoyance even though she knew he was right.

"He has a point here Sabrina " Daniel supported him " We don\'t have much time left especially now the council is on the move " he reminded her.

"Fine, do whatever you want but don\'t say I didn\'t warn you, because I won\'t be there to clean up your mess afterwards " her nostrils flared as she warned them.

Daniel and Asher passed her a grateful smile and mumbled something under their breath while making sure they were out of earshot.

"So have you finally decided? " Raphael questioned as soon as the duo started towards his prison gate " What would it be? The truth or no help "

"Lia is our mate " Asher divulged to Raphael.

The confident smile on Raphael\'s face froze, replaced by an uneasy one "O-our? What do you mean \'our?\' Do you know \'our\' is a plural form - "

Asher interrupted him "You heard me right, Raphael. Lia has two mate"

An awkward silence wrapped everyone for a while until Raphael began to laugh hysterically.

"You guys are in deep shit, you know that? What in the world is Lia? ."

But Asher bypassed his question

"No more dilly-dally, you\'ve had your questions answered already, this is the time to honour your word " Asher said to him and moved to release? him out of the prison just as Raphael rose to his feet.

" So when do we start? "

End of flashback. Back to present :

"So what\'s the plan? What suicidal intentions? have you guys paved for me? " Raphael asked jokingly.

"Alright, here we go " Sabrina magically made a map appear out of the air and spread it out on the large table in Asher\'s living room.

"According to plans,this is LittleTown\'s cemetery and the council should have stationed the falcon coven there " She explained pointing to a place marked \'X \' on the map.

" Lawrence is dangerous, so they wouldn\'t close in on him at once but stay and observe him a few metres away " She said and pointed to another point.

Then she gestured to Raphael " Whatever you do, your duty should be to distract Amala and her backup, don\'t allow them to cross over there else it\'s game over " She circled an area with a pen.

"Then here" She readjusted and zoomed in on the map with her magic as Asher and Daniel drew closer

"This should be the entrance and would be heavily guarded by Lawrence\'s recently reanimated corpses "? She glanced up at Daniel with a strict expression.

"Now that would be your job Danny boy, you have to break through the fortress but there\'s a problem "

Daniel asked "What? "

Sabrina rubbed her chin thoughtfully "This is just a hypothesis but I think Lawrence might bring some humans into the mix "

" What do you mean? "

"If he can compel students at the school, there\'s also a high chance he might compel some locals - "

" To distract us and buy time for himself, " Asher completed.

Raphael smirked " He knows we\'re coming, he\'s fully prepared "

"The council\'s responsibility is to keep balance between the humans and the supernaturals, so they wouldn\'t? like casualties especially when it involves the loss of a human life " She enlightened and clued Daniel.

"You want me to be able to differentiate between the reanimated corpses and the compelled beings? " Daniel rubbed his head, this was going to be insanely difficult to achieve.

" You do know tonight is a full moon and it would be much harder to be in control of myself talkmore taking others into consideration " he reminded her.

"That would be your cross to bear but on the good side, you just need to knock them out. Just remind your wolf not to rip nor claw anyone\'s heart out and you\'re good to go. Moreover Asher would be there to support you "

" I would? " He was surprised, he was expecting something different.

"The two of you would break through Laurence\'s formation and create a path, then Daniel takes over and does his part, which leaves you...? "

Sabrina moved a hand to another position on the map " Here. Thanks to Lia\'s incredible power and link to you, I\'m sure Lawrence would have her and Trevor at his side. "

Asher nodded " She\'s his insurance since he knows how much she means to me? and would use that against me "

Daniel looked up the moment he heard Asher\'s heart stirring words but didn\'t say anything and went back to reviewing his plans.

"Trevor would be easy to handle but the problem is your mate.Since she\'s under Lawrence\'s control, there\'s no doubt you\'ll be up against her, would you be okay though ? " Sabrina asked him concernedly.

Asher wrapped his arms around himself and replied determinedly " She can\'t die so if hurting her means getting her back, I\'ll? have no choice than to do it "

" Well " Sabrina shrugged " Anything you say, but your main purpose should be getting Lia out of there before the falcon coven arrives else her identity is discovered "

" What about the boy ? " Daniel asked out of nowhere.

"What boy? " Raphael asked, sitting on a couch and swung his leg over the other.

"The boy possessed by the necromancer? "

Sabrina frowned " You mean Ben?"

"Yes, the boy Ben. Who would take care of him? What if he ruins the plan? " came Daniel\'s question.

"As far as you don\'t charge at him first, he\'ll be too busy unsealing his powers to fight you - at least until he recovers all his powers "

"So you mean we would let that filthy demon take over Ben\'s body without a fight ? " Asher asked, unable to keep the shock, disbelief, then sorrow out of his voice.

Sabrina sighed " There is not enough time to go through this plan and right now, it\'s either we rescue Lia or lose her to the council , as much as I hate to say this, but Ben brought this upon himself "

Asher\'s eyes narrowed " But we still can\'t give up on him, though he indeed caused it but he doesn\'t deserve this and you of all people knows how much he means to Lia " he tried to convince her.

Sabrina ran her hands through her hair, everything was just too overwhelming and they had a limited time " Fine, just rescue your mate quicker and Ben might have a chance of being rescued "

Though there was no assurance, Asher was relieved to know he could still try and rescue him.

"I like you, you\'re bold, feisty and confident " Raphael complimented her but she gave a deathglare and retorted instead,

"Why don\'t you shut your trap and indeed give us a preview of your plans "

Rapheal whistled " Commando " causing Sabrina to flush red from anger and embarrassment.

" Rapheal " Asher said his name but there was a warning edge to it "Behave "

Rapheal pouted his lips and put on a sullen look? " Alright mom " he taunted on purpose.

At once he gestured to both of his men - recently released from Asher\'s prison- who had been sitting at the bottom of the flight of stairs leading into the living room and they approached him.

"As you know this is Iark and he has the ability to induce the truth out of someone " he explained and placed his hand on Iark\'s shoulder .

Raphael then turned towards the other figure on his left hand side " And this is his brother Ozark and he has the *mimicry ability, he can copy anyone he desires "

As soon as Rapheal introduced him, Ozark transformed in a blur and Ben stood right in front of them albeit with Ozark\'s clothes.

The three of them stared mouth agape, the scene was oddly familiar to zukai\'s transformation, aside the fact Zukai could only morph between his sister and himself.

Asher was the first to recover " As awesome as this look but this can\'t work "

"What do you mean? " Daniel asked.

"He only looks appearance wise like Be-Lawre- whatever - but powerwise?? Nothing " he argued.

"Don\'t be faster than your shadow dear brother " Rapheal said to him languidly before placing a hand on Ozark\'s chest, shutting his eyes in concentration.

If they were fascinated earlier, then now they were insanely blown out of their minds.

The moment Raphael touched Ozark\'s shoulder and concentrated, he replicated Ozark until there were four identical versions of Ozark standing right in front of them.

"Holy shit " Sabrina exclaimed in surprise " Your powers evolved? " she stared in wonder.

"What happens when they\'re uncountable Bens ? Enough chaos to keep the falcon busy " Raphael summarized with a self-accomplished smile on his face.

Unlike the enthusiastic Sabrina and Daniel, Asher was now deep in thought. It seems his brother has been getting stronger and stronger and he was completely oblivious to that.

Asher was not fooled by his brother\'s kind and cruel front - the Raven clan were known for their slyness so it wasn\'t really surprising .

He just had to keep his guard on and be prepared for whenever he latches a surprise attack on him.

"How much more can you replicate with this evolved ability of yours ? " Sabrina asked, impressed.

" I believe ten at the moment "

"Liar " Asher thought inwardly " It was much more than that "

"The sun has gone " Daniel suddenly informed them and their eyes moved to the window.

" It\'s time "
