Chapter 324 - Three Hundred And Twenty-four: I Saw Daddy

"You should accept this role," Sabrina tried to persuade Lia who was pacing up and down her room.

With the old council gone, members of the supernatural community have gathered together to build up another council - one better than the previous administration.

No matter what, Supernatural beings were dark creatures - their desires were heightened than the average human. With no rules to guide and restrict them, they would just give in to whatever pleased them and that doesn't end.

Vampire, mandurugo, Impundulu, Jiangshi, Sasabonsam, Asema, Soucouyant, and the rest of them were creatures driven by blood; Werewolves are driven by anger; wendigos are driven by greed; witches and fairies drove by envy; if there wasn't any law to curtail their individual dark sides - a war was sure to break out sooner or later. Again.

To create a fair system this time, there had to be five major inner council cabinets with a general overseer. Each inner board would be representing a major species; vampires - would be representing the whole bloodsucking community; Werewolves-representing the whole shapeshifters; witches would for all magic welding creatures - doesn't matter whether light or dark witch; and of course a human leader - to oversee the wellbeing of the human race; and the last but not the least, Vashti, the former council Head - though the past government failed the supernatural world, their proficiency was still required.

But here was the final problem, they needed Lia as their leader.

"This is crazy!" Lia swore, " I have no interest in the council nor do I plan to run one. I don't even know what it's about, "

"You'd have capable advisers around to educate you on that. You don't need to do much, just keep your pompous subordinate from different species in place and throw your weight around," Sabrina said blandly.

"You are one of the said pompous subordinates," Lia reminded her.

Because the rift between the witches and dark witches had not been fully resolved, they chose Sabrina as the suitable candidate for the witches position since she's a light witch who now had dark energy in her - she would be able to empathize with both sides- as long as she doesn't abolish the dark magic.

"Yes, so? That doesn't change the fact that your service is wished for,"

"Sabrina, I'm just eighteen years old and would be graduating out of high school this month, preparing for my higher education, I just can't handle all those supernatural dramas," was her excuse.

"You're a supernatural that learns fast, education shouldn't be an issue for you. And these days, you can just take online courses while doing whatever it is that you're doing here," Sabrina found a loophole in her excuse.

"I'm a mother of three kids and currently trying to hold this pack together with Daniel gone.." there was a trace of sorrow in her eyes as she said that.

"I'm sorry for Daniel and understand what you're going through but we've assessed the situation and discovered you're the only one suitable for the job. No matter what, there's always going to be favoring one kind over the other but then, here you come in.

"You're a tribrid; half vampire, half werewolf, and half-demon and yet you still retain your human side. This favors the human representative, vampires, and werewolves,"

"But not the witches and the old council head, Vashti," Lia pointed out.

"I'm your partner, Lia, you would undoubtedly grant me once I ask for a favor hence win-win for the witches,"

"But not Vashti?"

"Vashti is just there for her knowledge and to fulfill all righteousness - even she knows that - think if it as retribution for the sins of the council"

"So that is it," Lia mumbled under her breath, nodding her head in understanding.

"Moreover, you're indestructible, so no faction can think of manipulating or challenging your authority plus the demon attack is still fresh in their memories. In conclusion, You, Lia Darlington would make us a great leader, what do you say?"

"I eh - I.."

"If you're still unsure then you should know that your husband Asher would be running for the Vampire position and the odds are in favor of him winning," Sabrina enticed her with the news

"Asher is not my husband - yet" Lia felt like sewing up Sabrina's mouth with a needle and thread.

"You don't have to wait for him to do the job, just propose to him and you can have your wedding on your inauguration day - it would be such a big event,"

Lia's jaw dropped, she couldn't believe that suggestion just came from Sabrina, "I'm wanting to believe that it's your dark side that's making you say those words, "

"I'm afraid this is from me. Though this dark magic in me lowers my inhibitions at times I can assure you that is I'm the one truly speaking,"

"And your advice is telling an eighteen-year-old high schooler to propose to her mate - which in the human term, kind of denotes a boyfriend or a soulmate, whatever - after she just lost the other mate?"

"Asher would help you deal with your grief faster and your kids need him as a father figure. Neither can you keep mourning forever," Sabrina said.

A knock came on the door

Lisa picked up the scents and heartbeats - and the dead heartbeat.

Speak of the devil.

"Mommy!" The door burst open to reveal Hailey running towards her excitedly.

"Baby!" Lia crouched down with her arms outstretched to receive her baby girl when something happened.

Out of nowhere, Arthur appeared and touched Hailey who then began to walk in slow motion as he took her place.

Nevertheless, just before the boy could jump into her mother's arms, Lia cast a barrier that enclosed Arthur thus relapsing his magic on Hailey who in turn, took her rightful place in her arms.

No cheating, Ashton!

"My baby!" Lia hugged her, releasing her hold on Arthur.

But even when free, the boy refused to come to her and began to sulk at a corner.?Outside a great thunder rumbled, shaking the packhouse.

Lia released a sigh, Arthur and his mood swings. The boy inherited his father's possessive trait. This left her with no choice but to go over and coax Asher junior. She finally managed to bribe him with his favorite human food and the dark cloud outside cleared up.

"Mommy!" Hazel shouted.

Lia glanced up to see her daughter sitting on Asher's shoulder. That gesture brought a smile to her face; he was doing a great job with the kids.

"Here, go to mommy," He playfully brought the girl down.

"My baby girl," Lia carried Hazel while Asher picked up the other two now tugging on her clothes for them to be petted too. That was the problem with the triplets, you must treat all equally unless you're asking for trouble.

"How was your day, Hazel. Did you get along with your pals today?" Lia had a reason for asking that.

Weeks ago, while playing with the other pups, the children had got into a squabble about who had the best sandcastle.

It turned out Hazel had the best structure but as kids would always be kids, one of the jealous pups intentionally destroyed her - hard built - castle, and let's just say the result wasn't pleasant. Arthur and Hailey had joined the fight with their sister against the other kids who supported the bully. Lia was not proud of what her kids did, but they won - effortlessly.

Thankfully, no life was lost and her kids were sensible enough not to use their powers - which was kind of unfair since the pups didn't have the same advantage. The fight had been all claws and canines. But that ruined their chances of getting a playmate since everyone avoided them until recently after Lia launched an emergency playing pack for all.

"I did but I miss uncle Ben, he plays with us more," she pouted her lips, "When is he going to be back, mommy?"

"I honestly don't know sugarpie, but you can video call him if you miss him that much," Lia suggested.

It's been a month after Ben left and the kids missed him like crazy - she missed him too. There was nobody here to bother her as he did, although Ashton was slowly beginning to fill in that role - the boy gives her so much headache than her other kids.

"Also, mommy," Hazel monopolized her attention, Lia could sense her other kids wanted to speak with her too.

"What is it, sugarpie?" she was patient. Lia couldn't believe this was what mothers went through. There was no way she bothered Jenny this much, right?

"I had a dream today,"

At the mention of a dream, Lia tensed while her eyes connected with Asher's who was alert as well. They've been observing Hazel and it seems she has the clairvoyant ability - the power to see the future.

"What did you see, honey," she urged her to speak up. The tribrid was anxious to know her daughter's discovery.

"I saw daddy,"
