Chapter 138 - Beta Demon
"I see..." She nodded at him with a smile on her lips, and Adrik shrugged. "Alright, unto the next one."
Leia fluttered her eyes and adjusted her seating position.
Adrik chuckled low and fixed his gaze on her. "Teleportation. He said, and Leia blinked her eyes in confusion. "What do you mean by teleportation?"
"Remember, I told you that teleportation is one of the signs that one is a nonhuman."
"Yes." Leia nodded, and he cleared his throat. "Teleportation is another specialty of demons. They can teleport from one place to another as long as they imagine where they want to be. But I must let you know something. "
"What is that?" She asked with deep curiosity.
"Demons are classified into two types, which are pure demons and half-demons. Excuse me for a moment. " Adrik grabbed a glass of water from the mini table and gulped down a mouthful, then dropped it back and turned to her. "As I was saying, Pure Demons are demons of pure blood whose parents are both demons. While half-demons are ones in which one of their parents is either human or any other supernatural being that isn't a demon. "
"These pure demons can teleport, whilst the half-demons can't. Now there is something you should know... Among all supernaturals, demons are the strongest, followed by werewolves, vampires, and mermaids. Those like faes and elves are below. "
"Although there are some possibilities that an Alpha wolf can match up to a pure demon in a battle, while Omega can match up to half-demons."
"Half-demons are in no way a match for an Alpha wolf. Ahh yes, before I forget, there is another type of demon that is extremely weak. They are just as weak as beta wolves, and they are also called beta demons. They are naturally born weak, so they cower in fear when they come into contact with a vampire or a mermaid."
"Hold on a minute." Leia shook her head and took a deep breath. "Vampires are always deemed strong; why are you classifying them as weak against werewolves?" Her brow creased in confusion and she gazed at Adrik with a questioning expression on her face.
"Listen, little wife. Vampires are indeed strong. However, they are no match for werewolves when they are in their wolf form. Vampires might have a chance against us wolves when we are in our human form, but once we transform into our wolf form, they don't stand a chance." He chuckled and folded his hands. "Even Vlad doesn't have that much of a chance against me in my wolf form. He might be able to beat me in my human form, but it will take him all he's got. "
"Wait..." Leia reached out her hand and grabbed a glass of water from the mini table, gulped it down, then dropped it back. "So you mean to tell me, Vlad, as in Dracula, exists?" She stared intently at him with her eyes dilated.
"Yes, he does." Adrik nodded at her and she inhaled deeply. "Wow."
Adrik darted his eyes around and cleared his throat. "So as I was saying, only pure-blooded demons can teleport, but half-demons can't unless through spells or those shitty sorceries." He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"So..."
"What I am trying to make you understand is that you're a pure-blooded demon, because the fact that you teleported that night is enough to let me know that you're a pure demon."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's impossible. " Leia shook her head in utter disagreement, and Adrik furrowed his brow at her. "There is no way that I am a pure demon. My mum is human, remember?" She spread her arms, and Adrik crinkled his brows.
"How sure are you?" Leia drew her head back, as he questioned her. "It's impossible." She clicked her tongue and shook her head, then turned to face him. "Alright, let's assume that she is a demon. Why would she let that despicable man treat her however he wanted and even sit and watch him kill her?" She raised her eyebrows, and Adrik blinked his eyes.
"Answer me. And also, if she was a demon, I strongly doubt that the lethal injection could have killed her, even though it's a strong method of killing someone."
"Well... your mother could be a beta demon. I mean, they are so weak that they are almost like normal humans." Adrik shrugged as he explained.
Leia's eyes flickered as she contemplated in her mind, and she adjusted on her seat to rest her head on the edge of the sofa. They both kept silent for a whole minute before she suddenly blurted out, "I wonder who my father is."
Adrik turned his head to glance at her, and their eyes met, as she also turned at the same time to stare at him. A low breath left Leia's nose, and she reached out her hand to grab onto his. "That was a lot of information." She chuckled softly.
"Just let it all sink in gradually." Adrik smiled at her and she squeezed his hands. "I love you, Adrik."
"I love you too, little wife." They both took a deep breath and suddenly clamored at the same time. "I just realized that we have yet to take our shower!" They glanced at each other and broke out into laughter. Adrik stood up from the couch and carried her in a bridal style, then strolled towards the bathroom.
_________
Two men dressed in black suits with dark glasses covering their eyes and a black facemask wrapping half of their faces walked into a familiar mansion and went straight for the elevator. It took them up to the third floor, and they stepped out when the door opened.
They walked down a corridor at the same pace and finally stopped in front of a classic modern wooden door that had a small head of a lion embedded in it.
The first man with blonde hair knocked on the door, and a time of five seconds passed before the voice of a young girl resounded from within the room that looked like an office. "Come in."
The blonde-haired man pushed the door open and stepped in, followed by the second man with dark long hair that stopped at shoulder length. Both
They bowed deeply at someone who was seated on a chair with her back facing them and straightened up with their hands placed behind their backs.
"What news have you brought back?" The voice of the young girl resounded, and they cleared their throats. "Young mistress, we have not been able to observe much-" The face of the young girl who was gazing out of the window to the backyard of the mansion darkened and she proceeded to speak. However, the next words from the man had a grin spread across her painted lips. "-But we do have news that might be of use."
She chuckled softly and swiftly swirled the chair to have herself facing the two men.
The two men took yet another bow and straightened up when they heard "good" from her.
"So what is this useful news?" A smile formed on her lips as she asked.
The first man with blonde hair walked forward and pulled out arranged photos that were tied up by a diminutive rope from the pocket of his suit. He respectfully handed it over to the young girl, and the young girl grinned as she received it.
"What is this?" She asked as she glanced at each of the photos, some of which had four people in them, whilst the rest had one person in each of them.
"Young mistress, these are the people we have been seeing her associated with lately and we believe that they are her best friends. They have been hanging out quite a lot these past few weeks. " The blonde-haired man reported it.
"Where do they hang out?" She inquired, her eyes still fixed on the pictures.
"At an apartment which we believe belongs to the guy with the mixed-colored hair."
The young girl nodded and stared intently at the photo of the young guy with mixed-colored hair and a smirk formed on her lips. "He's really attractive and sexy... hahaha..." She laughed softly and flung the photo away.
"What about the husband?"
"He hasn't been leaving home much these past few weeks. He mostly stays home with her and only leaves when she exits the house to hang out with her best friends. "
"Ha... clingy." The young girl clicked her tongue and rolled her eyes. "Ugh... he's another obstacle in my way." A deep, irritated groan escaped her throat, and she leaned back in the chair.
A wide malicious grin that reached her eyes formed on her lips, and she nodded in satisfaction. She spread her arms on either side of her and crossed her legs, then raised her gray eyes to stare at the two men. "Good job! Continue to keep your eyes on her... hahaha... this is gonna be fun." She swirled the chair and continued to laugh maniacally.. "Hahahahaha."
