After, theirs parting with Derick, Beth saw Rian walking out of the door and asked "Where are you going?"
"I already told you, I have plan to go out with my friend, but you freaking asked me to stay for this boring dinner" he complained.
He hurriedly added," And I'll stay with Brian tonight."
After he said that, he quickly left in his mom's car.
"This boy," Beth sighed and turned to Roxana who was yawning sleepily.
"You should go and sleep, dear," Beth asks her.
Roxana gave her a pecked on the cheek and utter, "Goodnight aunt."
"Goodnight dear," her aunt patted her head and they both separately went into their own room.
.....
Rian parked his car on the roadside and walk towards the director of the woods. This is the first time he is meeting someone here besides Brian, he didn't tell Brian that he's going to the woods.
He abruptly stop when he suddenly remember that he didn't tell Brian about Asher.
"Oh shit," he cursed and instantly rushed in the woods in a flash. As far as he knew, Brian usually come here and Brian hate the bloodsuckers to the bones.
Consequently, Asher and Brian are glaring at each other and looked like they are going to tear each other's apart at any moment.
"What are you doing here!?" Brian hissed at Asher.
"I have been invited here," Asher said coldly.
"By whom?"
"I invited him," Rian interjected them.
Brian glared at Rian when he heard him, however Rian just shrugged his shoulder at him and said, "There's is no other places that I can meet him," he gestured at Asher.
Before Brian could interrupted him, he turned to Asher.
"So tell me"
"Why are you after Roxana?" he demanded.
"Isn't obvious, I love her" Asher stated expressionlessly.
"You love her," Brian laughed when he heard him, "I would rather believe that you saw her as a way to quench your thirsts," he taunted him.
Asher who was far from where they stood was instantly in front of Brian in a flash, his words had enraged him to the point he doesn't care about anything about their agreement, however before he could do anything to Brian, Rian abruptly came in front of him.
"I didn't invited you here to fight," Rian uttered coldly.
"Make him leave!" Asher said nastily, while glaring at Brian.
"Brian, please just stay quiet! I need to talk to him seriously without any interruption," Rian said to Brian in a livid tone.
He was finally satisfied when he saw Brian being silenced, and turned back his gaze to Asher.
"Ok, let say you love her," he paused, " But, are you sure you will not kill her unknowingly by yourself."
"I'm sure," he replied coldly.
Rian nodded and declare, "I will not oppose your relationship if you tell her who you are."
"I don't need your opposition in our relationship," Asher said coldly.
"But Roxana need," Rian smirk at him.
"I'll never tell her the truth," Asher stated.
"Roxana is a bit ignorance, but she will eventually find out one day," Rian told him.
"It doesn't matter, she would never find out" he uttered, but the way he said appears to be at himself rather than to Rian.
Rian was a bit surprised, "Why are you so sure that she will not find out?" he question him.
However, instead of Asher, Brian who was silence finally spoke, "I heard there's a rumoured going around in the tribe, that there's a cure for vampires."
Although, he doesn't know much about Asher, but he still heard a bit that he's known to be cruel and ruthless, especially towards his enemy. Even though he look coldly at them but when he talk about Roxana, his eyes revealed a bit of gentleness in them. He looked certain when he said he would never tell Roxana about himself, which means he want to be human again, as he knew he can't hide his true self to Roxana for long.
"Maybe, it's true," he said while gazing at Asher strangely.
"What?" Rian shouted and gape at Asher in shock, "You want to turn back as a human."
Asher was still silence as if this has nothing to do with him.
"However, have you ever thought, that if you turn back as a human, your enemy might be after you or after Roxana, at that time forget about protecting Roxana, you might not even be able to protect yourself," Brian stated.
Hearing this, Asher eyes slightly move, however his face still look expressionless.
