Chapter 117 - One Hundred And Seventeen: I Defeated You At Your Own Game

Asher wasn't wrong about him , Lia realized, albeit too late - It had been a trick from the very beginning.

Raphael must have had an inkling she wasn't a human and finally tricked her into exposing herself. But now, she was going to give him as much trouble as he gave her , at lest a little werewolf venom should do the trick - but it was easier said than done.

It was evident from her flushed face and heavy breath that she was fighting an intense battle. Just metres away from meeting his chest, as if premeditated, Raphael had grabbed her hand midway and intercepted her attack - making sure to beware of her talons.

No matter how much strength she put in or struggled, she couldn't dislodge the vampire that had a smug smile on his face that did nothing but exasperate her further.

Raphael shook his head "You might be strong but you're just a baby cub with no skills and battle experience. Tsk tsk, what a pity. Asher didn't even give you one or two useful pointers " He goaded intentionally with a moue of disapproval.

Incited, Lia wrestled against him frantically and with a swap of her hand, missed gouging out his eyes had he not tilted his head in time but at lest she managed to land a scratch on his cheek.

With a hand holding her down, Raphael raised the other hand and touched his cheeks; there was three long claw marks and he realized the girl had got down to business.

Though she had succeeded in harming him but Lia knew she had just gotten a rise out of him, so she tried to take advantage of this distraction and gain the upper hand.

Raphael guessed what she would do next so the moment she tried to sit-up, he pushed her down and pinned her to the bed, straddling her in such a hold she couldn't easily break while steering clear of that talons - he had a feeling things weren't as simple as he thought.

"I'm guessing you're not a vampire " He asked while holding her down.

"Why don't you release me and we can find out joyfully " She sneered.

Raphael chuckled, he was liking this girl more and more. It seems he has to adjust his plan. He leaned towards her and asked " Aren't you curious how I found out you were strange? "

Lia glared at him " Why don't we grab a seat and talk over it like responsible adults? " She suggested but Raphael wasn't one to be fooled easily.

"And I'm guessing that's a yes " Raphael answered for her " I'll tell you then " he said and adjusted his position. He inclined his head towards her hair and took a quick whiff before whispering into her ears,

" Do you know every human have a natural bodily scent ? " He said looking into her eyes

"But you? You don't . It's as if you're hiding it or something, cause no matter how hard I try to catch a sniff but all I could get from you was the scent of your hair shampoo which smells good by the way "

Lia's eyes widened in apparent shock, was that why he was playing with her hair earlier? She just thought he had a thing for her hair or something.

He went on " So I thought , maybe Asher stumbled upon gold this time and so I set a trap and you fell right into it while I get to see this amazing discovery. " Raphael told her and began to stroke her talons but was careful enough not to cut himself with it.

His gaze shifted back to her face " Which leaves me with one question ' what are you? ' and don't tell me you're a vampire cause they don't have magenta eyes and ink black talons...perhaps, it'll sound a bit convincing if you're a werewolf but then -"

"You're right " Lia interjected

"Huh? "

"I'm a werewolf. Actually, part werewolf and the venom should have started its reaction by now " She flashed him a wicked smile.

This had been her plan along. lia knew he knows she wasn't an ordinary creature but couldn't exactly tell which, so she continued to lead him on, buying enough time for the werewolf venom to settle in his system.

Raphael's smile remained stuck on his face as she briefed him " You of all people should know the effect of werewolf venom on vampires, right? "

"Y-You " Raphael choked, disbelief written boldly across his face.

Lia cocked a brow and a devilish smirk " What? Are you that surprised and overwhelmed that I defeated you at your game "

Then she moved her lower limb and kneeled him in the place where the sun never shines. Raphael moaned in pain and rolled off her to the other side of the bed.

Lia sprang up from the bed and straightened her rumpled clothes while pouting her lips in annoyance. She has had enough of this nonsense .

It seems vampire or not, a man would always be a man cause Raphael was lying on his stomach, hand grabbing the sheet tightly while the other was probably massaging down there - Who knows? She couldn't exactly tell since she didn't have one of those thing but she bet from his reaction it was hurting like a bitch.

Almost immediately, Asher and Dan appeared in her room. Asher had this murderous look on his face as he raged " Where is he?! Where is... oh "

Dan was dumbfounded for a while before he broke into a smile " Told you she could handle herself "

But Asher wasn't interested in whatever he was saying cause he pulled Lia into a tight hug and she hugged him back ; realizing how comforting a hug could be.

" Thank God you're ok, I thought he had done something to you or worse taken you away from me " He breathed, guilt and anger crossing his face as he stroked her hair.

Lia pulled away and looked up at him " Do something like what ? " She queried sternly. She could tell Asher - infact everyone, was keeping something from her.

Asher swallowed but he tugged her back into his embrace " I'll tell you later but at the moment, let's deal with this idiot "

Lia nodded and stepped back just as Dan asked " Werewolf venom? " while examining Raphael who lay like a distorted corpse.

Lia nodded " Yeah , any problem with that "

Dan shivered and shook his head, the girl was really scary. He then pulled Raphael to his feet and teleported away with him.

Lia was greatly relieved the moment Dan left with that guy, hopefully Asher would take care of his copy downstairs. But suddenly she stiffened, her hand reaching for her neck.

" What's wrong? " Asher asked sensing something was not right with her.

Lia gulped " My necklace, it's gone "
