Chapter 111 - One Hundred And Eleven : Making The Rules
"Quite funny but I don't remember seeing you setting boundaries moments ago when you were with her " quipped Asher while staring him straight in the eyes .
"No matter how you put it , but my wolf doesn't like it when other people touch my mate "came Daniel's reply.
Asher raised a brow "You mean to say, our mate?" He corrected.
Daniel's jaw tightened while he clenched his fist but he knew inwardly there was nothing he could do. No matter what , he had to acknowledge he'll be sharing his mate with some g*ddamned bloodsucker till God knows when.
But he wouldn't go down without a fight. Werewolves were not known to be headstrong for no reason.
Daniel folded his muscled arms across his chest and moistened his lips , saying " Let's be frank here Asher, logically the girl is mine. Lia was originally meant to be mine while you're just an intruder who popped out of nowhere into the picture "
Asher stared at him for a good five minutes without saying anything before bursting into a sharp laughter. Laughter that rocked his body before gurgling to a halt.
"Oh I see what you're doing. You werewolves are so dramatic " Asher snickered " If you feel she's meant to be yours then, I'll gladly have you know that she choose me first "
He declared and yanked down his collar, giving Daniel a full view of the bite mark on his pale neck .
The bitemark was the only flaw on Asher's pale skin and Daniel clearly understood what that signified.
He was dumbfounded, she had marked him already? No wonder he was able to smell him off her the initial time they met.
Green with jealousy, Daniel could feel his wolf threatening to surface - his wolf was not pleased with this development at all so he growled a warning but Asher stood, unfazed.
A smile played with the corners of his mouth and he shook his head - werewolves and their temper sometimes.
Amidst his threatening glare , Asher stood tall without wavering and looked him straight in the eyes saying " We could quibble for the rest of the day and truth be told, I'm ready for it or you could calm down and we can reason together "
Asher suggested with a smug grin on his face and though Daniel wanted to refuse stubbornly, he had no choice than to give in - the vampire was right anyway, they shouldn't be fighting like animals.
" Fine " He agreed, lifted himself up and sat on Asher's desk and toppled some items over the edge.
Asher scrunched up his face as if in pain when he saw his nameplate,' Best principal of the year ' award and some documents fall to the ground.
He scowled at Daniel , he should thank his lucky stars that non of those were made of glass.
"Let's make the rules then " Daniel announced, rubbing his palms together in gleeful anticipation.
Asher picked up his plush swivel seat that was tossed to the side during the fight and sat down on it.
"Rule number one " Asher raised his hand, offering to start " We both are going to court her like responsible adults "
"It would've sounded fine to me if I didn't just realize you have the upper hand in this particular clause " Daniel complained.
Eyebrows forced together into a pronounced frown, Asher asked " What do you mean? "
"You're her principal , you both see each other everyday nor do you have to cross a thick wood just to see her " Daniel pointed out with a sullen expression.
"Hmm, maybe you're right " Asher mumbled beneath his breath while stroking his jaw thoughtfully .
"Fine then, I'll see that provisions are made so you can become a staff of the school and get to see her as much as I see her. Fair, isn't it? " Asher offered with a straight face.
Daniel's head jerked up and his lips twitched, this fox ! . He knew what Asher was doing and it was working.
During their feud, Daniel had ordered his people strictly never to have an interaction of any kind with any vampire from the Nicoli clan - which is why no werewolf from the silver pack attends little Town Highschool because Asher runs it.
Like a dog returning to its vomit, Asher tactically wants him to eat his words . He had been the one to place the ban at the first place and now he was going to be the one who broke the same rule he placed? It was really a complete slap in the face.
But it was either his mate or his pride. Moreover, he was the Alpha and the words of his mouth were the law. Nobody could castrate him just because he decided to bring down the same rule he made and enforced.
Amusement?twinkled in Asher's eyes, it was quite entertaining putting Daniel in a tight spot. Well, who would blame him, Daniel had been the one who fixed the rule in the first place.
" Fine then " Daniel released a deep breath " I agree with your rule and now it's my turn " Daniel said and Asher couldn't help but frown - bad intentions were clearly written over his face.
Well, what was he expecting dealing with this kiddo? Asher sighed . The universe really f*cked him up by pairing him with Daniel.
" Rule number two : No making out during feeding "
Asher grunted " Like hell I would "
Daniel cocked a brow " Are you openly disregarding the rule? "
Asher snorted contemptuously before his gaze turned serious " If I stand by that ridiculous rule of yours then you should expect a 'no touching while kissing ' as the third rule " He spat decisively while Daniel jumped from the desk, exasperated.
Asher knew 'touching' had become second nature to werewolves thanks to their heightened sense organs and their attunement to their wolf-side.
Hands running through hair, sending feathery trails , caresses, hands roaming around the body ; infact they crave skintoskin contact more than a newborn , so telling Daniel ' no touching ' was the worst torture to his wolf.
Now two can play at that game
