Chapter 263 - Two Hundred And Sixty-three: Feelings Of Desire

"What is it?" Lia was unsettled by the sudden dreary look on Ben's countenance.

"While you were under Raphael's control, he kept feeding you Odin in small amounts which gradually increased to larger quantities," Nadia revealed.

Asher's brow furrowed, his eyes narrowed into slits," What is Odin?" Whatever Raphael did to his mate must have no happy ending.

Sabrina chimed in "How did Raphael get his hands ...oh right, you were a witch," she recalled.

Lia laughed nervously," You both are freaking me out, what does this Odin or whatever it's called do?"

Sabrina licked her lips, "It is a sort of sedative love portion,"

"It was quite famous in the past, thanks to desperate humans yearning to keep their partners in check. It's mostly used by wives to chase away their husband's mistress,"

"Um, come again?" Lia was dumbfounded. What has that got to do with her? Why would that late asshole use it on her?

"How does it work?" Asher was the one who inquired.

"Once used regularly, it douses the husband's desire for the mistress and if I could remember, Raphael had used quite a lot on your mate amid my warning," Nadia answered.

All eyes focused on Lia which made her uneasy. She waved them away, "Guys, I don't know what you're thinking but I'm totally fine"

"Drowsiness, hallucination, paranoia, insomnia, and most of all, loss of libido, these are the side effects," Sabrina told Lia pointedly, "Though, I don't know what it would be for you since you're a hybrid,"

"Alright, this is getting out of hand. I'm...umm"

Lia was stunned when Asher kissed her passionately without warning. Sadly for her, it was but for a brief moment.

Asher pulled away, clasped her cheeks, and stared her intensely in the eyes, "How is it?"

"Huh?" Lia was still dazed from the abrupt kiss.

"Do you feel any desire for me?" He probed.

"Intensely," Lia blurted, eyes fixed on his tempting moist red lips.

"Oh," Asher was stunned by her blunt admission and tried hard to control his reactive little brother down there. At least she still has feelings of eros for him, that's strangely comforting.

"A-hem," Sabrina purposely cleared her throat. They both had drifted from the topic at hand.

"I told you I feel alright," Lia stood her ground.

Nadia regarded her slowly," Don't underestimate the power of Odin, Lia"

"I'm a hybrid. I have a faster metabolism than humans and most supernatural creatures perhaps, my body must have detoxicated the effects already?" She surmised.

"Lia, that's just an assumption," Asher was slightly worried.

She turned to her mate," Asher, I'm fine, trust me" the girl even twirled around for him to take a look.

"Let her be if she says so, you just have to keep an eye on her," Nadia instructed the vampire.

She looked up at the sky with a sorrowful sigh," It's time for me to go, my duration is up. Thank the owner of this body for me, would you?"

"I'm sure he would be delighted out of his mind to know that he had been of great service to you," Lia beamed.

"Mom," Devon threw herself at Ben,shaking her head vehemently, "You can't go already, I haven't learned a lot from you,"

"Everything else you need to know Sabrina would let you know hence she's now your mother," was her reply.

"No, mom, it's you I need,"

"Which is impossible,"

"No, you being in this body is what's impossible yet possible. Maybe, you could occupy this body for the meantime while I'll replace a way to reverse the sacrifice or bring you back to life," Devon raved.

"That ungrateful ass," Lia was offended by her sick plan. If Nadia does successfully take over Ben's body, what would happen to Ben?

The furious hybrid was about to step in when Asher drew her back, asking her not to intervene with the motioning of his head.

"No!" Nadia roared at her daughter and for a fraction of a moment, her features contorted with outrage; her eyes glowing red while Ben became paler than a vampire, his clothes fluttering with the sudden eerie wind.

"M-mom?" Devon croaked, goosebumps climbing her arms.

"This body doesn't belong to me, there's no relationship whatsoever between the living and the death!" Her voice was deep and distorted, "You can't undo what has been done neither can you draw back the hands of the time; it has been written down"

"I'm sorry, baby girl," Nadia features returned to normal," But you have to let go and move on, just like I'm going to move on,"

"Mom," Devon hugged her tightly, crying on her shoulder and refusing to let go. Sadly for her, mass has never posed a difficulty for a ghost.

"And I'm guessing this hug is not for me," Ben remarked as soon as he was let back into his body," It feels warm though,"

Devon felt something was gone- she felt her mom's soul leave that body - but she refused to believe it until she heard that stupid comment.

She pulled back to see black eyes staring back at her with his lips pulled to the side, was he mocking her?

Ben gave the girl one of his friendly smiles and was about to say, "Hello?" when he received a smack on his face.

"I hate you," Devon spat and strode away

Ben clasped the area where he was slapped and turned to the others questioningly.

"Oh Ben," Lia patted him on the shoulder with a blank face, "Never hit on a grieving girl,"

Ben scowled at her," I wasn't flirting with her, I was welcoming her with a smile," he gestured by stretching his lips.

"Well, your smile was not convincing enough," Lia deliberately teased him.

"Don't be sad," She squeezed his shoulder," At least, look on the bright side, unlike her, her mother liked you,"

"Her mother?" His confusion grew.

"You don't remember?" Lia was surprised.

"No, that one entered me so quickly I feel molested," Ben lamented.

"Well I believe she said and I quote,' Thank the owner of this body for me, would you?' "

Ben grinned as if he just saved the entire planet, " She did?"

"Yeah,"

"O.M.G!" He squealed excitedly," I just made my first fan! If I continue at this rate, I might become famous in the underworld,"

"Yeah, sure, what a great ambition," Lia deadpanned. Her friend was odd of the oddest. Her mind couldn't help but flashback to what Raphael said, what was the possibility that this "Ben" was her mate?

The answer, non-existent.
