The She-Devil And Her Alphas-Chapter 330 - Three Hundred And Thirty: Claim His Mate-1

This night has been nothing short of wonder for Sophia and it wasn't close to ending. How could one live in the middle of the woods, in a classical-style villa at that?

Thanks to its creepy location, Sophia had expected the mansion to be built Gothic-styled with the status of gargoyles standing guard and frightening off strangers. But the reverse was the case, this was one of the largest and sophisticated houses she has come across in Little Town - Just how rich was Ashton's father, wasn't he just a principal? Do principals make that much now?

The interior didn't disappoint her either, it was lavishly decorated with modern amenities, and the large central hallway was the main entrance area to the adjacent rooms. The hallways flowed into a large, wide, spiral staircase leading straight to the private rooms on the second floor and other floors which she didn't wander into since the party was being held in the foyer.

As eye-catching as this house was, it still mystifies Sophia that she couldn't find the location on Google maps. Sometimes, she wonders if she's the only one who notices the abnormalities in this town? Everyone else was just unconcerned. Something weird was going down here and she sincerely hoped it wasn't some crazy Occult shit or something.

"Hi Sophia, I'm so glad you made it" Sophia was surprised to see Hailey. There was a crowd of students here so she honestly didn't expect the girl to find her that easily and early - she just arrived not less than five minutes ago.

Someone moved behind Hailey and she found out it was Hazel, her twin. The girls were so hot and Sophia somehow wished she was a twin or something [A/N: Don't worry Sophia, sleep with Ashton and you'd have a chance of giving birth to hybrid triplets.]

Though both were identical twins, it wasn't hard to differentiate one from the other since Hailey always dyed some a part of her blond locks, and currently, she was donning a pastel green dye, unlike Hazel who left her enviously blonde hair the natural way.

Moreover, Hailey was more vocal than her sister Hazel who was keen to observe before speaking and seemed to be more mature than her older twin. But then, she wasn't someone to mess with. While Hailey was a roaring lion, Hazel was a sly fox, ensnaring its victim unaware.

"Yeah, I did," Sophia faked her enthusiasm. To be honest, her stomach was fluttering with butterflies making her feel sick. Sophia was nervous and she didn't even know why; it was almost as if she was anticipating something great to happen tonight.

To her surprise, Hazel walked over to her and dropped her arm casually on her shoulder as if they were old-time friends, saying, "If there's one thing I can tell you about my sister, is the fact she throws great parties,"

And it was as she said.

The girls were a bad influence on Sophia because she found herself doing what she never saw herself doing. She drank and was currently jumping up and down in the name of dancing.

The dance floor was huge so there was no cramming of bodies or sweaty bodies rubbing against each other due to lack of space hence making the dancing more enjoyable - nothing as disgusting as getting someone's smelly sweat on you.

Sophia expected the twins to go and entertain their more important friends, that it came as a huge shocker to her when they chose to dance with her instead or so she thought because at a point she couldn't find them - not even their shadows.

Nevertheless, the girl decided to have a good time since she had already begun. Sophia danced and danced until she felt being observed and turned around only to get the shock of her life.

There was Ashton, standing just a few distances from her and watching her in rapt attention; eyes that made her heart miss a beat.

A blush crept up to her face and Sophia panicked, she wanted to get out of here as fast as possible but her feet were rooted to the ground. No matter how hard she willed her body to move, her legs stayed put with her eyes trained on Ashton.

It was as if he was walking in slow motion and she couldn't take her eyes off him - he was just so enthralling. His dark hair was messy tonight, her finger inched to run her hands through it - what the hell was wrong with her?

"Hi," Sophia said, breathlessly. Her heart was slamming wild against her chest and she was finding it hard to breathe with the sight of him. How did things suddenly change between the two of them? She always hated him - or did she?

Ashton didn't say a word to her, just kept staring at her immersed which made her all the more nervous. She had no option but to continue, "Your soon would-be sister, Hailey told me you've not been feeling fine," she tactically was probing into their weird relationship. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"So?" Ashton curtly responded.

That answer didn't satisfy her at all nor did it take away the nervousness heightened by his intense gaze. Ashton was staring at her like a sumptuous delicacy set before him to consume.

"So I just want to know how you're doing," She breathed out with the effort. Why was the air suddenly thin?

There was something different about Ashton today, he looked unrestrained and sexy - not that he hasn't always been sexy but today's seem to have gone up a notch.

"I'm fine," Was all his said before coming closer, their body pressing together which made her gasp softly as electricity coursed through her.

Sophia tried to step back but Ashton was quick to reach out and grasp her waist with an iron hold, gathering her flush against his chest.

Sophia forgot how to breathe, this moment felt out of this world. She was spell bounded by his charm that she didn't even know when the song changed to a slow sensual number.

The girl was greatly startled as Ashton suddenly twirled her around and dipped her. Though it all happened too quickly Sophia was a good dancer so her intuition kicked in when he lowered her. She clasped unto his arm, sharing her weight with him before he brought her back up.

Sophia had to admit, Ashton did have good moves but she wasn't relaxed one bit especially when his slight touch scalded her nor did their grinding on their dance floor help the situation.

"Come with me," Ashton growled into her ears.

Sophia shuddered when his lips brushed against the shell of her ears and she found herself agreeing to his ridiculous request with a nod of her head.

For the first time, a smile finally appeared on that stiff face which further heightened her resolve to go with him. Ashton took her hand and began to lead her through the crowd of drunk, dancing teenagers.

Her blush deepened when she spotted couples making out on the couch and the others in secluded corners. A dirty image of her and Ashton in such a compromising scene surfaced in her mind however she shook the memory away repulsively or so she thought.

Taking the lead, Ashton didn't glance back at her as he brought her to the second floor and into one of the rooms which made her eyes go wide - she was expecting him to show her around the house.

Sophia's stomach flipped, she was not ignorant enough to believe he brought her here with good intentions, not that she didn't somehow anticipate that - Sophia wondered how Ashton's lips would feel like. However, her sense of reasoning still flourished over her desire.

"Ashton, what are we doing here?" She asked him as soon as he turned to close the door. She was now anxious.

"Don't tell me you don't feel it," and that being said, Ashton, pushed her against the door causing a slight pain at the back of her head.

Her eyes rounded, "Asher, what are you -" The rest of her words were swallowed forever when he smashed his lips against hers with great ferocity.

Sophia's mind swarm, this was what she imagined the kiss to be and more - he was setting her on fire. She was highly surprised by his strength when he hoisted her up with just a hand, their lips still attached. The girl out of instinct wrapped her legs around his waist, anchoring herself to him and rubbing her heat against the bulge in his trousers.

Ashton groaned into her mouth as a result of the movement, his blood was boiling and he feels the uncontrollable urge to claim her - worsened by the fact Davi was trying to take control.

Sophia had never felt this way not even with her previous boyfriend, was this what she was missing out on all these years?

Asher deepened the kiss causing her to moan. Unknown to her, the heavenly sound she released made the blood pound in his ears. Sophia slip her hand through Ashton's silky brunette hair and she knew instantly, she wasn't close to stopping.
