Also a little sneak peak for this chapter: THERE WILL BE ALOT OF DRAMA AND VERY INTERESTING THINGS HAPPENING AS WELL YOU FINDING OUT STUFF!!!
^_^_^_^_^_^_^
~Asher's POV~
We got into Uncle Quinn's car, since he was the only one with a four door vehicle. Uncle Trevor, sat in the driver seat, while Quinn sat in the passenger seat and me and Mr. Roman got into the back.
"Onto the mall we go." Trevor says, excitedly while backing out from the drive away and driving away.
Everyone else was excited about going, but to me I felt uncomfortable. It's not because I was in the back with Mr. Roman, no I don't know but I just have a bad feeling about this.
The car ride wasn't that quite with, Uncle Trevor and Quinn talking among themselves. I would answer a couple of questions here and there, but not that many though.
I looked outside the window enjoying the green scenery as we would pass by. while I was looking, in the reflection I was seeing him staring at me. Turing around quickly, Mr. Roman was only smiling at me.
"I wonder what we'll buy at the mall today? Do you have any suggestions Asher?" Mr. Roman asks me, but in a more quiet voice.
"U-uh... we'll just have to see won't we?"
"Indeed we shall."
Yet again he does his signature smile that always makes me flutter in the inside. Honestly, I'm wondering why I get like this every time he does so? Its like he knows what he does does have an influence on me.
_^_^_^_^_
We finally arrived at the mall. We parked in the garage section all the way at the bottom so we could get out quicker.
We walked through the doors and immediately people started to stare. I always had a problem when people stared at me, I've been like this since I was little.
It happened when I used to get bullied in school, and I would always go behind one of my Uncle's legs when they told the teacher, and then it ended with that child's parent getting on to them telling their child to say sorry which they did eventually.
But now that I'm older, I would just now get embarrassed with putting my head down.
I felt a hand go on my right shoulder shocking me out of my state I was in. Surprisingly, it was none other than Mr. Roman with a concerned expression on his beautiful face.
"Asher you alright? Why are you embarrassed for?" He asks me all concerned in his voice.
"Yes~ errr... n-no? I don't know?" I say shaking my head.
Hearing people whispering among themselves: I felt like I was being dragged into a deep dark whole that I can't crawl out of.
Just then, Quinn came along and wrapped his arm around my back while, Uncle Trevor got with Mr. Roman.
"Please dart you're attention away from my nephew, he has a problem when people staring." Uncle Trevor says, to the people that was still around us.
Taking his request into consideration, they all decided to go back to mind their own business. As the commotion died down, Uncle Quinn decided that we all go to the food court first instead of shopping which everyone agreed to.
Entering the food court area, there was a lot of places to choose from. My favorite two was this Asian place and also Anthony's Pizza. A part of my body was telling me to choose the 1st one and the other half is telling me to choose the 2nd place.
Everyone could see my distress and it took Mr. Roman to give a nod at my uncles to let them know he's got this.
"Asher why don't you just get both from each place? As in you get an item from each and then you'll be happy." He suggested towards me.
Honestly, he wasn't wrong. As I was just complaining about the situation, I could have just got my drink from Anthony's Pizza, and my food from the Asian place, or vice versa.
I turned around so fast even I couldn't register what my body was doing. Once I did so, I did the most bizarre thing~ giving Mr. Roman a hug for the first time. Honestly, to me this didn't feel quite weird at all and to my surprise he actually hugged back.
"Haha~ we'll if imma just get hugs outta the blue like this, I might as well do it often." He says laughing.
Just then I saw Uncle Quinn and Trevor in my corner of my eye walking towards us with food in their hands already.
"W-wait? When did you guys get food already?" I asked the both of them confused since I thought they was behind us the whole time.
"Haha, Asher sweetie you really need to pay attention to your surroundings before you get lost." Quinn says, in a more mother voice than usual.
"Ahh~ right sorry. But what y'all got?" I asked the both of them after undoing my arms around Mr. Roman's waist.
"Well we got some Italian food over there. I'm actually happy we went early since they are now packed." He said.
"Oh cool! We'll imma get some Asian food and then come back to Anthony's pizza just to get a drink... I know it's confusing, but I couldn't decide on which one I wanted."
"It's okay, Asher you do you sweety."
Asher smiles afterwards then heads to his food we wanted. "I'm off then." When he left, it was only Mr. Roman, Trevor and Quinn all standing near their table for when he gets back.
~Mr. Roman's POV~
"He has grown up so well, I'm glad you two raised him." Mr. Roman says, to his Third in Command and his Selsa.
"Indeed he has. He is our pride and joy even though my sister left him with us to never be seen again~ we don't blame her at all. It's more like... we thank her in a way. " Trevor says to his Alpha with his hand under his chin thinking about it.
"Hmm~ and you never told me who her mate was exactly?"
"Well that's because I actually don't know who the Father is... the last time I saw her was the night she left, Asher on our front door step. Although I do remember she seemed in a hurry to like get away from something as is she was being chased?"
"Till this day, it's still a mystery." Quinn said.
Mr. Roman has a serious facial expression on his pretty little face. Even though he's the Alpha of his pack, he still doesn't know everything that goes on in it. Basically it was his idea to act this little charade in front of his mate, since he doesn't know about the "supernatural world" and that his family members are in fact part Werewolf, Roman decided to take things slow and not rush anything.
"Let's keep this secret hidden from Asher for a little longer. I don't want him to be angry at you guys for lying to him his whole life~ I wanna be the one to tell him when the time comes, okay?"
"Don't worry, Roman we understand. We wanna tell him as well, but after the fact." Trevor says, nodding his head.
Roman looked at Quinn, who was really in thought but he knew that he wanted to tell his Nephew all the things their keeping from him, but he looked up and did a small smile in respond.
"Good, I'm counting on you both."
~Asher's POV~
Finally after such a long time of waiting in line, it was my time to order my food.
"Hi! What would you like?" The nice lady asked me with a cute smile.
"Hello! I will have white rice, orange chicken, and an egg roll please." I told her.
"Alright, please slide down to the cashier to get your food."
I did as the she said, and scoots my butt down the line. Coming up to another lady with a very interesting hair style. In my opinion, it looked cool and if I had a younger sister I would probably play in her hair ha.
Any who, getting back to my food, the lady told me my total which was $5.98. Surprised I was, I gave the lady my debit card and she gave it back really quickly.
About to leave, I told the lady, "Thank you, and also I like your hair." She smiled at me and said, "Why thank you sweetie, you have a nice day."
This time it was my turn to smile. Once I did so, I decided to quickly get my drink from the pizza place and head on back to everyone else.
****
"It's about time you finally decided to come back. What took u so long anyway?" Uncle Trevor askes, in ma more demanding but not sorta way.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to, but the line was long and I think I made a friend at the Asian place? She's a sweet lady, who had this really cool hairstyle." I babbled to them like a child.
"Ha, well you where always the kid to make friends quickly, so its not surprising if you made a friend even with a sweet old lady." Uncle Quinn says, somewhat laughing a bit.
"Yepppp~ so are we going to eat, or what? I'm starving."
"I couldn't have said it better myself nephew."
So we finally dig into our food, which I so happily did. We talked to each other about our day, how's life been, etc... I couldn't help but notice that, Mr. Roman didn't have any food in front of him.
I gently tapped his shoulder, and in an instant he was looking at me. "U-um I couldn't help but notice that you don't have any food in front of you. Are you okay?" I asked him, but trying not to blush again.
He replies with a smile before answering me. "It's nice that you're concerned for my health Asher thank you. But to answer your question, I'm simply not hungry."
While hearing him, I mentally slapped myself in the face of my dumb question. Of course he's not hungry if he doesn't have food~ or maybe because he's saving his appetite until later? Yeah that might be it. Good observation Asher, score one for me!
"Oh, okay. You're welcome." Awkwardly scratching my neck right now from my actions earlier.
Seeing as though, I made myself in an awkward position I went back to stuffing my face of what's left of my food.
****
Like an hour later, everyone was finished eating and talking to each other. Being the good Nephew I am, I took all the trash to the garbage can. Putting the trays on top, since the employees hate it when people throw them in there on accident.
Walking back to our table, I made sure to push in my chair and to see if I left anything~ which I didn't.
"Okay, now that we ate I'd say we go clothes shopping now." Quinn says, with a little jazz hands throwing them in the air. Seeing this, I started to laugh at my uncle's behavior. I swear he acts like a kid sometimes, but Uncle Trevor doesn't mind one bit as I saw him give Quinn a peck on the cheek.
"I'm down, but I got to pee real quick though."
"Alright, we'll wait right here." Trevor said.
Bolting to the men's bathroom, well more like running with almost bumping into people. I said excuse me, but my mind was only on that toilet.
Bursting the door open to the first stall I found, my body was so relieved. Think of me doing the moment when. Naruto had to use the bathroom really bad, and once he plopped down he was doing like this most satisfying face.
After doing my business, I got up and flushed the toilet. Walking out the stall, marching my butt to the sink and began washing my hands. While I was rinsing them, taking my eyes to look at the restroom I hadn't notice it was somewhat dark in some areas.
Making my body feel uncomfortable, quickly came back to finish my hands as I looked down. As I came back up, I could see my reflection and also~ red eyes staring back at me.
Immediately, I started running to the door almost making it, but then I felt a force yanking me back.
The figure shoved me towards the tall mirror next to the sitting area, once they did so my head smashed into it really hard. I fell on the floor in pain, holding my hand up to my right side of my head there was blood.
As I was distracted, they turned me around and grabbed my shirt. Pulling me off the ground, I took this chance to get a look at their face.
"Y - y - you look f - familiar..."
"Oh, really? I'm actually surprised, figured he did it, but I guess not." He says, laughing then grinning afterwards.
"P-please put me down?" I begged him.
"Now why would I do that? Hmph~ how stupid can you be? Clearly a lot."
Seeing this person wasn't going to leave me alone, my final option was to scream my lungs out~ which I did.
"AAAAAHHHHH!"
~Mr. Romans POV~
We were waiting on, Asher for what felt like hours. Me, Trevor, and Quinn were started to get worried. Even though he went in there 10 minutes ago, it felt like hours went by.
"Maybe, his stomach was hurting?" Quinn suggested.
"No, no his face didn't have any signs of discomfort." Trevor said.
"Well why don't I go and see if he is okay? He is my m-" I was stopped in my sentence once I heard the most terrifying sound.
My heart stopped once I heard it. My wolf was howling in pain from it, and I hoping deep down he was somewhat okay. I looked at his Uncle's and indeed they also had this terrifying facial expressions. Not even wasting anymore time, my body was on overdrive to get to my mate.
Once I did, burst down the door and was met with the most terrifying picture. There was smashed mirror pieces around the ground, blood as well smeared... then there he was. My beautiful mate, bleeding on the side of his face as he had his fangs into my precious neck.
At this point I was furious. My wolf didn't take long to push up to the surface and take control.
"Well, well, well it's about time you finally decided to show up. I was getting bored and thought I might already kill this precious one."
"PUT HIM DOWN NOW YOU FREAKING BLOODSUCKER, BEFORE I END YOU!"
The vampire did so without ease, dropping my mate's body like he was some rag doll.
"Hahahah~ you're really funny Roman, honestly you are! Also I might add his blood was delicious..."
At that point I bared my teeth, charging at him with full force. I was full on rage and blinded by anger, honestly I could tare through a bunch in blood suckers and not feel bad at all. He got away quickly, vanishing and reappearing again towards the window.
"Ah, ah, not yet." He says, shaking his finger in a taunting motion. "It's not the time for you to tare me into pieces no-no. But don't worry, this won't be the last time you'll see me~ until then my wolf friend." He jumps out the window.
Afterwards, I calmed down letting my anger seep away for now. Right now, the only thing on my mind was my mate. I rushed over to him, pulling him to where I could see his lovey face.
I heard his breathing but barely though. He was badly injured. The right side of his head was still kinda bleeding, nose had dried up blood, and then there was his recent bite marks on his neck.
A good thing about werewolves is that our saliva cab heal wounds pretty quickly. Licking his neck, on instant the bite marks healed completely which I was happy about.
Picking him up, I held his head carefully close to my chest~ more like carrying a child for the first time. While walking back I let the others know, in the mind link that, Asher was hurt, but is going to be alright later.
"It's time that we introduce, Asher to the pack. Also that I'm going to have a very long talk with The Vampire King."
