The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 34 - Thirty-Four :The Sire And The Sired

"What about that girl I unintentionally fed my blood? " Gideon asked startling Asher who was going through the stock market with his tablet.

"Why do you ask?" He asked, eyes still glued on his work

"I just remembered a problem with converted vampires " Gideon said, finally reaching the school lot and parked the car in the staff's parking lane.

Asher stepped out, observing his surroundings. He looked dashing in his Marc navy striped suit with brown vest , his rich chocolate medium length hair was professionally textured with faded sides. His movements were dignified, he seem to possess this aristocratic elegance aura around him.

" What problem? " he asked, while clipping his silver cufflinks neatly in place.

" The awakening? Ring a bell? " Gideon tried to remind him.

"oh " Asher said. He totally forgot about that, this was why converted vampires were highly frowned upon.

"Don't worry , the girl is unharmed. Why did you think I released you? " Asher lied through his teeth but his heart was in a turmoil. He was one step away from venting his frustration on any available subject.

The reason why pure bloods view converted vampires as trouble and burden was because of the awakening. Once converted, all of their feelings and emotions are tremendously heightened.

It's like being high on drugs, you feel like you could do anything, all your emotions, love, anger, hatred etc is doubled if not tripled, just overwhelming.

All your suppressed desires are intensified, things you were afraid of doing, you find yourself courageously executing it.

Unfortunately, this is a huge problem cause most of the newly converted vampires are new to this feeling and tend to lean in to their dark side.

Which is why they are called Newborn converts, they know nothing of what they are becoming unless guided by their coven or clan.

Due to their inability to control their emotions, newborn converts are usually mentored by their sire until they reach a certain level of control and ability to make a discerning judgement , that is , if they want to stay in peace with the council.

Unlike other creatures , the council and hunters are naturally biased against vampires and are often extreme in executing judgement when a vampire commits a crime knowingly or unknowingly.

Which is why numerous pure blood clans forsakes the converts , especially the newly converted, they don't need trouble knocking at their door unless those with natural control.

Fortunately, the stronger a vampire clan is, the lower the Council's influence which is why a stronger clan has more influx of converted vampires than their lesser counterparts.

But Asher didn't know what to do, he was in a dilemma. The girl clearly wasn't a full converted vampire or whatever she was , he couldn't tell if she was experiencing the awakening or not.

Secondly, he couldn't let Gideon know of her transition else he can't tell what the dumb fool would do again. Gideon was too warmhearted, naive and easily manipulated, if he finds out about the girl, he would surely lay down his life for her out of guilt.

He'll be damned if the both meets and the girls happens to be in her awakening, then Gideon is totally lost. Asher was sure she would wrap Gideon around her little finger. Maybe, this was another of the witche's ploy to get to him.

"Let's say she accidentally converted, what would you do? " Asher threw this unexpected question at Gideon.

Gideon gave him a stupid look "Of course, take her in, she's my sired "

Asher smacked his forehead mentally , just as he thought. His goodhearted Gideon would take her in whether he permits it or not.

Eventhough most pure bloods detest converts, but there were still some who honours the sire-bond.

A?Sire Bond?is the link between the sire and their sired that exists within the? vampire?and hybrid?species. The Sired complies with the direct and indirect orders of the *Sire in order to show its loyalty.

But in Gideon's case, Asher was sure it would be the other way round. The girl would surely be the one giving the orders while the dumb fool will be the compiler.

"What if the girl is dangerous? " Asher pressed forward, he still wants to believe there was some sort of redemption for this poor guy.

"Dangerous? " Gideon snorted ridiculously "What could that pretty little human do? " Gideon laughed without knowing Asher's temper had reached the boiling point.

No, they definitely can't meet. Asher determined, his hands balled into a fist.

"You failed " he said those two words to the perplexed Gideon.

"What?!"

" You can't be my secretary." Asher added "No, you're too dumb to be my secretary "

"what did I say wrong? " Gideon yelled in disbelief

"Everything " Asher confessed " Now, get in the car and go get me Dan. You'll be taking his place in looking over the clan from now on " Asher ordered hoping this was enough to keep Gideon busy and away from the girl till everything was settled.

Gideon reluctantly got into the car, his lips pouted and a?sulky expression on his face but Asher kept a straight face. He could not change his mind, it was for his safety and the entire clan.

Gideon was as?sullen?as a three-year-old riding back home but Asher couldn't blame him, the boy was just a hundred and twenty years old, a green horn. In human terms, he was a grandfather but in vampire terms, he was just a kid, fifteen at most.
