Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Asher watched as the man with an unknown power who’d just saved them in an irrefutable way walk out of the room with Nathanial. He turned at the voice of his long term lover. “We know nothing about him. I want Requiem and Damien to find out where he lives, you have both felt his power in a different way, use it to find him.” Jean-Claude was interrupted by an irate Micah. “How could you just give Nathanial away? Are we all just meat to you? You said yourself we know nothing about him. For all you know this guy could be another Reina or Chimera. He’s not even your animal to call.”

“Micah, this is not like you. Have some faith in me. Mr. Potter was in our minds and he did nothing but cure us. He did not manipulate us or even look at our memories.” Asher tried to console him, but Micah was having none of it. “You only think that, he was in your mind there’s no telling what he made you see.”

Asher didn’t have a response, it was true after all, they already had experience with mental manipulation, and so there was no guarantee that the powerful man hadn’t affected their judgment. But Asher had always prided himself on his ability to read people. He hadn’t liked Anita, even though he’d tried to replace Julianna with her. Now that thought made him sick. Attempting to replace the most amazing thing in his life with anyone was foolish.

Surprisingly it was Richard who spoke up in defense of the man. “For all his power he was still human, and he smelled honest and genuine the whole time, after he stopped playing dumb. Surely you sensed that.” Micah thought about it and nodded reluctantly, “but still you can’t just give Nathanial away to someone we just met.”

Jean-Claude seemed to be deep in thought. Asher knew that the leopard just didn’t understand Vampire culture. For all his experience with those of Asher’s kind, none of them realized that to them, beings of such long life, each of them were merely players. Sure, they grew attached to some of them; like they had to those in the room, but eventually those not bonded to them would die. In addition, Jean-Claude and Asher were old, and Damian was even older. In the past, all mortals not bonded specifically were passed around indiscriminately. Even the pomme-de-sang had only a little more protection, requiring those not the mortal’s master to gain permission from said master before feeding. The rights mortals involved with vampires had were a new concept and mostly ignored in the older countries.

Eventually Jean-Claude spoke, “I believe that Nathanial is in good hands, and you were invited to call in a few weeks. You should take that as the privilege it is, and utilize the gift if you are still worried. I would advise you not to call until a few weeks have passed however as Mr. Potter does not strike me as someone who will tolerate interruptions.”

The meeting continued with Requiem explaining who Harry Potter was and ended with a discussion about the ramifications of his apparent association with the Traveler. “I am not sure if Mr. Potter has an alliance with the Traveler, he is powerful enough, or if he is working for him. Either way it would be worth our while to make a good impression on him.” Micah passed over his card so that Asher could get the information off of it in order to send him an invite later in the week.

When everyone else had left, Jean-Claude told Asher his plans to convince the powerful human to join in his triumvirate. Asher was at first skeptical that the young man would allow himself to give control to another but then he was hurt and angry when his lover told him that originally, when Jean-Claude only knew he was powerful from the ‘ward building’, the brunette had wanted to bond the young man to Asher and a random Hyena, but now that he had the human servant position open, desired him for himself. Asher immediately remembered Micah’s claims earlier in the night, and wondered how much of the vampire he had known had been Anita’s influence. Asher was worried that he would now be dealing with a different, colder vampire.

AN sorry this chapter is so short but it will be a different pov next chapter and I thought this was a good stopping point
