The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 304 - Three Hundred And Four: Spied On

Where am I? That was the first question in Lia\'s mind until the memories came flooding in. Apparently, she just gave birth to triplets. That third one had taken a lot of juice from Lia that she fainted from exhaustion; she didn\'t even know whatever happened next.

Lia\'s eyes widened, she couldn\'t believe that she was a mother. Not only that, the mother of three kids. To top it all, how was she going to explain to the people around her that she got pregnant in one day and gave birth the next day?

None, no one but her family would believe her- even with evidence present. Some situations were just so bizarre it was thought impossible like giving birth in one day? The most ridiculous lie ever told? The public would think. Not only would she be termed a prevaricator, but the public would be angry if she professed that continually. Well, they would figure how to solve that one out together.

Lia looked around, she was alone and recognized the place as one of the rooms at Asher\'s house. Someone must have changed her. She stood from the bed, let herself out of the room, intending to search for everyone.

Where could they be? To be honest, she was more anxious to meet her kids. Lia wanted to take a look at them and hug them in her arms - even if they turn out to be monsters, she was still their mother neither was anyone taking them from her.

The girl traced the faint scent in the air and found herself going to the living room. She began to hear raised voices, they were having intense arguments and the loudest voice seemed to belong to her mother. There was also Asher apologizing for God knows what. What happened?

Lia had a bad premonition, had anything happened to her kids? With that thought in mind, she stormed into the living room but stopped short when she discovered that almost the whole gang was here - including her babies.

Asher and her mother hushed their argument instantly as all eyes focused on her. Lia felt slightly uncomfortable with the number of gazes on her. It was almost as if she was on stage with a spotlight cast on her, attracting everyone\'s eyes\' attention like some damn magnet.

"Baby, you\'re up," Her mother was the first to take her into her arms.

"I\'m so sorry, mom. I failed you," Lia sniffed, chin resting on her shoulder.

"It\'s alright, Lia. It\'s not a crime to be a grandma at a young age. Moreover, to triple cool grandkids," Jenny hugged her tight, weeping as usual. The woman sure wears her heart on a sleeve.

When Lia was through with the teary moment with her mother, Daniel was the next to approach her and with one of the twins in her arms.

"Thank you," Was all he told her, placing the kid carefully in her arms.

Lia stares down at the kid sucking her thumb and staring back at her curiously. She didn\'t look like a child born hours ago, more like a week. Honestly, after giving birth to them in one day, nothing about their growth stunned her anymore. If they grew up the next hour, she\'d just take it that way. She pitied Rex who became an uncle automatically yet his supposed nieces might develop faster than him.

The other twin was also placed in her other arm which made her gasp in surprise. They were identical! Sure they had their father\'s blue eyes and blonde hair but Lia could still sense a resemblance to her. A smile tilted her lips to the side as she drank in their features; the shape of their mouth, eyes, nose; those were hers and she certainly contributed to their prettiness - Daniel shouldn\'t take all the credit here.

"Hi baby girls, it\'s mommy," her smile deepened.

They were bubbly, both of their hands moving at once to capture strands of her hair and tugged at them. Crinkles lined their faces as they smiled, playing and pulling at her hair as if fascinated with it.

It was confirmed, they were going to be one mischievous bunch. Lia let them play with her hair - as painful as it was - laughing and replying to their energetic incoherent noises until it dawned on her that she gave birth to triplets, not twins.

Her eyes darted across the room, searching for the third one until her eyes fell on the child in Asher\'s arms. Strange, he had brown hair? Well, she was a brunette, the child must have taken after her.

So Lia returned the girls to their father, walking over to Asher to take her child from him only to freeze; her hand hanging midair. Lia blinked, she couldn\'t believe her eyes, how was this possible?

Those green eyes? She didn\'t have such eye color nor did Daniel… only Asher. But how was that possible, she had not sexed with Asher yet?

"I can explain," Asher said, sensing the turmoil on the girl\'s face.

So, the tale of how Sabrina linked him and Daniel together began plus the events preceding it. It seems that Sabrina didn\'t fully comprehend what linking their body meant - she had gotten an idea of that spell from Nadia linking Raphael and Jenny then. The witch didn\'t understand that linking them meant connection of both flesh and fluid; whatever flowed through Asher, went through Daniel. So in one word, they had a magically altered threesome.

Lia was speechless after that confession, her ears couldn\'t believe it. No wonder, that night had felt super strange, she has sworn that it came to a time Daniel felt like another person... he felt like Asher- it now came together.

"You can hate me all you want, I understand," Asher said, looking her straight in the eyes, "However, you should know that I don\'t regret that night one bit because you gave me the greatest gift ever," his sight lowered to the child in his arms.

"Can I have him?" Lie stretched out her hand expectantly for her baby. Asher released the baby to her which she carried in the crook of her arms, rocking him gently.

Lia felt something ache in her heart and the fierce need to protect him. Was that the mother-child bond?

"He took after you completely, it\'s quite offending," Lia complained he looked nothing like her. With those green eyes and his father\'s handsome face, one wouldn\'t believe she was his mother.

"Hi, Asher junior," Lia boomed a smile at him. He was her son.

The baby grabbed her hand, his little hand encircling her thumb but something happened. The boy\'s eyes turned pitch black with Lia\'s eyes doing the same, both occurring concurrently.

Everyone held their breath, watching what was happening with horror on their faces. All except Daniel and Asher - they had expected something of this nature.

Asher at once separated their hands and Lia regained herself, looking around in confusion.

"What the hell just happened? For a moment there, I felt connected to something I have no idea of," she muttered, unsettled by the aghast looks on their faces.

"He inherited your demonic bloodline and you both just activated it," Asher took the boy from her before she could protest.

"Demonic bloodline?!" they shouted. This just keeps getting better and better.

"I\'m a Demon?" Lia was shell-shocked.

"Mrs. Jenny, what do you know about your husband Renard?" Daniel questioned her.

Jenny rubbed her temple, "What do you mean by that?" she was mortified, "Are you trying to say that I married a demon? No way…" She refused, gesturing with her hands "I know Renard completely and I know I married a human, not this demon you accuse him of,"

"You knew practically nothing about him, mom," Lia said mentally.

"Then, are you the demon?" Asher was blunt.

"What?!" Jenny exclaimed.

"Your daughter is half-human, half-demon, which means one of you must be a demon for her to be this way," Asher argued.

"No, it\'s her father," Ben said to everyone\'s surprise.

He shot up to his feet and emerged to the center of the room where they stood, pulling his phone out of the pocket of his pants.

"Forgive me Lia but while you were away, I stumbled upon your father\'s diaries and went through it without your permission. Turns out my knowledge of Latin came in handy, so I translated one of it and discovered this striking paragraph," He showed her the picture of the page he had captured with his phone.

"I\'m a hundred percent sure Chris would hate me when he eventually learns about my family. He can be quite cold-hearted which is why I hope the dislike doesn\'t get transferred to my family. I didn\'t mean to deceive him but it\'s in our nature, we never have one, neither do I have enough time to make up for that. My last shred of humanity is diminishing, time is running out and I have to leave." Lia read out loud.

Confusion flickered across everyone\'s faces, revelations were being made and it was startling.

"While I\'m more concerned about the \'its in our nature, we never have one,\' part, this just confirms that Renard was indeed a demon," Asher pointed out.

"Descendit!" there was a slight commotion when Sabrina cast a spell in the direction of the window and something fell into the living room.

"What was that?"

Everyone was alarmed.

"It\'s a crow," Sabrina magically bind it so it doesn\'t escape, "We\'re being spied on," She sent it to sleep.
