The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 50 - Fifty : A Sister's Love

Zukai has genetic chimerism, they were supposed to come out as twins but unfortunately the male absorbed the female in the womb" Dan explained when he couldn't take Sabrina's teasing anymore.

Lia couldn't exactly explain how she felt, she was having a rollercoaster of emotions right now. She felt stunned, then awed , next sad and finally curious.

Dan understood her curiosity and continued "Fortunately when his ability began to manifest, his supposed dead sister began to form her own consciousness inside him, soon enough she could manifest physically "

Lia fully understood what chimerism was : a rare disorder in which a person has two sets of DNA but it was more prominent in animals than humans, she just didn't know vampires experiences that too.

"So which of them exactly has the name, zukai? I heard Asher calling him, he-zukai " She asked out of pure curiosity.

"Both " Dan snorted a laugh "The two sturbborn ass refused to choose different names, so we just add the 'he' and the 'she' to differentiate one from the other "

"Oh " She nodded her head in understanding but her attention was diverted when she saw

Asher swiftly drag the duvet off the bed Trevor slept on earlier and tossed it at Zukai.

He murmured "Trace it "

Lia frowned " Trace it? " Her question directed at Dan.

Sabrina who was standing with her arms folded across her chest took it upon herself to explain this time.

"Zukai has the psychometric ability : The power to?perceive the residual information of an object or person. He can trace someone through clairsentient contact"

"So he can sense where Trevor is just by touching the object he used "

Sabrina shrugged "Pretty much that or more?"

"More?" Lia arched a brow

Sabrina gave her a ridiculous look "This are vampires we are talking here, their powers keep growing. Today it might be tracing by touch, who knows? Tomorrow, he might be able to create telepathic link with anyone by holding an object that's connected to them"

As she continued to listen, her expression molded into unbelievable awe, if truly vampires could do such things, then shouldn't it be the same with her? Aside from her improved reflexes and senses, she didn't feel anything else. Did this have to do with the fact she was different from other converts?

" He's in an alley, he looks scared." Zukai said, his eyes was shut tight in concentration while his hand grabbed the duvet strongly.

"His lips are shaking, he's asking for something " Zukai continued but unknown to him, he invoked a certain emotion in someone.

Lia gazed up at zukai wide-eyed , did he just....

"He can't tell what your brother is thinking or feeling but he can read his expression" Dan explained as if he knew what she was about to ask.

"I need to get to my brother now " Lia said decively, she's had enough of staying back and doing nothing.

"Where are you going? " Asher asked, grabbed her arm and stopped her from making another move.

"Let me go! " She growled and glared at him.

"You think I'm doing nothing here? " he asked, a little hint of pain in his voice

"Fine " he said and crossed his arms "Let's say you go out, how are you going to find him? Sniff around ? "

"I'll find him my own way " She retorted firmly.

"And you're not going anywhere unprepared and unprotected, especially not with your scent driving every vampire crazy! " He commanded sharply.

For the first time in her life, Lia realized the power the command of an alpha male carried , it was firm, indisputable and mighty, she couldn't even move a muscle .

Not to mention the fact that as tall as she was, this guy still towered over her.

"Fine then " She gritted her teeth and gave up her solo mission.

Almost immediately Zukai awoke with a loud gasp "I know where he is ! " he breathed.

"Describe it and I'll take you there " Dan said listening intently as zukai gave details of what he saw.

"I'm coming along " Lia ordered not even giving them a chance to protest.

"Fine, I'll take you and zukai first, before coming back for the others " Dan said after getting a go ahead nod from Asher. He knew his powers hasn't evolved to the extent of transporting such a large mass at once.

"Let's do this " Lia muttered and held unto Dan, zukai did the same and soon enough, they saw themselves in the middle of some street.

Lia winced as soon as the sunlight hit her eyes , she looked down abruptly. She forgot how sensitive her eyes were to the sun.

"What's wrong? " Dan asked with concern noticing the change in her demeanor.

"Nothing " She pulled up a fake smile

"Wait for the others, they'll be here in a twinkle of an eye " He said disappearing right away.

"I'm outta here " She said as soon as Dan left. They were in some busy street with lots of buildings and stalls, she wondered which alley her brother was at the moment.

"Alright ... Wait - what ?" Zukai said confused but the girl was already walking ahead so he grabbed her hand at once " What are you doing ?"

"Going to find my brother " She spat , jerked her hand free and darted past the dumbfounded zukai.

He rolled his eye towards heaven irritably, he felt his other half inside him stirring restlessly, she wants to come out. Fine then, he mused. Perhaps, she would be able to handle the girl perfectly.

"You know " A voice nudged Lia scaring the sh*t out of her.

Still walking briskly, she turned shocked to discover that zukai was now a she. Her dress was no longer wet and fluttered with the wind.

"You're lucky old fashioned Dan doesn't use his psychic ability a lot " She-zukai said, her accent a mesmerizing tone to the ears. "Else he would've know you're up-to no good "

"Like I care " Lia snorted.

"You seriously don't know how temptingly delicious you are to me right now? " Zukai murmured licking her lips.

Lia shivered but ignored her, she knew zukai would not try anything stupid especially not in this street swarming with people .

lia looked up, the sun wasn't hurting her eyes much cause it was going down. Was it evening already? She suddenly wondered what her mom was doing? She didn't have to worry about her mom searching for them, she knew the vampires must have covered up for them else she wouldn't be so relaxed.

"Trevor! " She called looking around in the first alleyway she could find, she hasn't mastered her sense of smell yet so she couldn't just sniff him out.

"This is going to be fun " Zukai sighed exaggeratedly. She immediately took Lia by the arm and began to drag her away.

"What are you doing?! " She yelled fighting her hold, getting inquisitive glances from few passers-by.

But zukai laughed it off making it seem like a rough play between friends.

"This is not the alley my brother saw, besides I might have picked up your brother's scent and know how to use it unlike you "

Lia couldn't say a word, she obediently got dragged along until they stopped in a dim alley that ran between two buildings but the end was closed and a perfect place for someone in hiding. The place reeked of waste matters , there were several recycle bins overflowing with dirts making the place a total mess.

Lia frowned, her brother hid here? She quickly maneuvered her way in when her eyes caught a moving shadow.

"Trevor " She called softly when she saw him crouched down beside a recycle bin, a banana peel resting on his shoulder.

"No, don't bite! " Trevor stared at her, wide eyed and shaking. "Leave my sister alone! "He cried out.

"It's me Trevor " She said and tried to touch him but he crawled further away in fear.

"G-give me my sister , don't hurt her "

Guilt ate at her, it was her fault her brother turned out this way. If... If she had not .... suddenly she gripped Trevor's shoulder hard, her fingers dug into his skin and yelled at him.

"It's me Lia! Your sister !"

Trevor slightly froze, blinked repeatedly before recognition dawned on him.

"I thought you were dead! " He squeezed her closer to him and began to sob

Lia clung to him tightly as if her life depended on it, she swallowed down a sob and blinked away tears from her eyes.

She felt someone beside her and turned to see Sabrina staring at them with an expression she couldn't exactly describe.

"Now " Lia mouthed and Sabrina nodded in understanding.
