His Mate: Prince Asher

Chapter thirty five

“Excuse me young man?” Cage asked staring at the young boy who ignored everyone else in the room as he walked over to Naomi and place his hands on her shoulders. “Hello?”

Asher ignored him and looked Naomi in the eyes, her tears burning him in his heart as he could feel the power threatening to take control while he fought to control it. “I couldn’t listen anymore, your sobs hurt my heart. That’s enough, no more,” he said, his voice calm but authoritative and it slammed into everyone’s heart.

“Master Alexander the third, you are not supposed to be in my office,” the principal said, hating the boy’s attitude immediately. “You are supposed to be in your class.” Everyone glanced from the principal to the boy who pretended to not hear him as he was still preoccupied with the girl. “Asher!” he yelled this time.

Asher ignored him as he wiped away Naomi’s tears and pulled her into his arms. Having him hug her seemed to have broken Naomi’s resolve as she started sobbing hardly this time. Asher closed his eyes and held onto her tightly, the power in him fighting to take control but he knew if he should succumb, he would be waking up to a bloody office. Only his Nightwalker’s powers can work here effectively and so with Naomi still sobbing in his arms, he turned to the grownups with his blood red eyes. “Trisha and Rebecca got into an accident and died, nothing more, nothing less. You would all leave here to grieve them and plan their funerals and no one is to talk about it ever again or what even brought it.” Done with his compelling, he grabbed Naomi’s hand and walked out of the office.

Detective cage woke up first and blinked twice, “my apologies for your loss, Mr. and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Richie. If you need my help in planning their funerals, you just have to ask.”

“Yes, mine too,” Marshall added.

“Thank you,” Trisha’s parents said with a sad smile, tears coating their eyes.

“We just hope you would make out time to attend,” Rebecca’s parents added.

“Of course,” the officers said and stood up. “Principal Hugo, we will keep in touch.”

“Thank you,” the principal said.

“I don’t know why I am here but I am really sorry for your loss. Maybe if you gentlemen have free time on your hands, you can help me investigate for my two men? I heard from their families that they went into the woods last night and they are not back yet.”

“That seem like a case for the cops. Let’s head on then,” Cage said and they walked out of the office.

Meanwhile, Asher took Naomi straight to the woods and when they got there, he said not a word as he teleported and they appeared right in the living room of his manor. Noami would say to have slightly gotten used to his teleportation that she wasn’t as shocked as she was last night. Asher led her straight to his kitchen where he fetched her a glass of water. “Thank you,” she said, taking it from him.

With a nod, Asher turned to the cooker to make them something. “You hungry?” he asked. “Mind you, I only know how to make sandwich.”

Naomi chuckled at that, “that will be enough for me too.”

With a nod, he opened the refrigerator and got out the ingredients he needed.

“Asher, do you think it would work?” Naomi asked after a moment of silent.

“Would what work?”

“What you said to them. Would they just forget about everything? Is that how you made my father forget about last night? And his men, the two ones that are missing, did you hurt them?”
