THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

"Something obviously is wrong with you today " Daniel pressed his mate to open up. 

They were still in her room after Trevor's failed attempt at eavesdropping. Lia bit down hard on her lips, took a deep breath, and finally said to him.

"My wolf is persistently trying to take over "

Daniel blinked but aside from that, he showed no other emotion. His expression was neutral. Strange, Lia thought. She had imagined that her confession would rock his world. 

Her eyes narrowed together with her nose wrinkled, asking," You don't seem all that surprised? "

Daniel shrugged, " I kind of expected that, newly transformed werewolves normally have problems with control; werewolves are naturally aggressive creatures "

Having realized she would gain nothing from hiding her secret, she further opened up to him. "I can feel her every minute struggling for dominance, I'm afraid that I might lose to my wolf "

Daniel knelt by the side of her bed and took her face in his palms, "You would have it harder because you're an Alpha but you're the owner of this body, show your wolf who is the master here - well, in your case, mistress " he chuckled but his laughter was infectious cause Lia had no choice than to join too. 

Abruptly, the smile gurgled to a stop when the intensity of his words dawned on her, "Wait - what?! Am an Alpha?! "

'Yes, you're an Alpha. The first of your kind and supposedly, the strongest " he confirmed it for her 

"No wonder " She nodded her head while mumbling under her breath but Daniel heard it yet said nothing. 

Lia glanced up, apprehension plastered on her face as she told him "I think my wolf did something to scare Asher, and no matter how much I ask, she gives me nothing but glimpses of what happened. I've tried so hard to remember, but I end up bleeding from the nose as a result of pushing myself too far. It's as if the memory is suppressed but I'm thankful, Asher walked away unscathed ."

"Maybe, she just wanted to say hello to her other mate? " Daniel suggested. 

But Lia shook her head while smoothing the tension between her brows, "Fine, let's say you're right. What about the next time? What if she hurts him? Daniel, I don't want to take risky chances here "

He took a seat beside her on the bed, "Lia before you can dominate your wolf, you both have to reach some sort of compromise "

"No way! " Lia rejected his idea outrightly, "The only thing that animal thinks about is sex and I'm not about to commit myself to some creature who thinks of you guys as nothing but an object for self-gratification."

Lia was stunned when she looked at Daniel only to discover he was gazing up at her with an odd yet funny expression on his face. 

"Why are you staring at me that way? Is there something on my face? " She queried him, just to be sure. 

But when no answer was heard from him, Lia decided to go look at the mirror herself. 

She stood to her feet but a grip tugged her to her previous position and without warning, pushed her back on her bed, as he settled the length of his body on her's. 

"W-what are you doing? " His mate mumbled nervously, not because she was scared of him but because his nearness was probably doing funny things to her body. 

"Force your wolf out "

Lia's eyes grew wide from shock, she was astounded. " No way " She refused right away, " I had a hard time forcing her in but now you're telling me to let her out? Impossible, I'm not - "

"Come out now! " His darkened eyes glowed, at once Lia felt an invisible and unexplainable force take over her body. 

Her mouth hung open in shock, did he just force her… her understanding became muddy just as her wolf excitedly made its way out. Lia's iris glowed yellow as soon as it hollered " Mine! " in his head. 

"You have been causing trouble lately," Daniel told her wolf as soon their eyes made contact. 

If Lia was conscious of their chat, she would be so shocked to discover they were speaking telepathically and in a language completely foreign to her yet her wolf understood it. 

"Is that what she told you? " Her wolf asked back with a silly grin."She doesn't know how to have fun, I'm just helping her out "

"Your definition of fun is causing her problems "

"Then she is not worthy of being my host " It sneered. 

"Is that why you marked Asher? "

"That one? I just wanted to have a little bit of fun with him " It said but Daniel could feel Lia's hand roaming around his body and it took everything in him not to respond to her seducing touches. 

"Just didn't know it would escalate to that level, " It told him just as her hand slipped down to his crotch but he was quick to grab her hand and pin it over her head to the bed. 

"Y-You " He was red in the face and his breath extremely heavy, " You're an adventurer "  Daniel realized.

It giggled," You're a slow one. Took you so much time to figure it out "

Sweat broke out on Daniel's face, he was yet to see the rest of his mate's naughtiness, it dawned on him dreadfully with a hint of excitement. 

Because of a werewolf's extreme hormonal changes, they were grouped according to their inclination. 

Adventurer werewolves were thrill-seekers and would love to see how far they could go with their mate. Though it was never boring being with one but their definition of fun could get out of hand sometimes if not closely monitored. 

"Fine, I've gotten what I need. You can leave now " 

Her lips pouted sadly, " So quickly, can't we have a little bit of fun?" it told him in his head, her other free hand drawing circles on his muscular chest outlined by his snug polo shirt.

Unfortunately for her wolf, Daniel saw through her tactics, " Nice try " he caught her wandering hands with a smile that disappeared quickly as if it never came. 

"Go now! " he forced her into submission with his authority. 

With a displeased frown, her wolf left right away just as Lia awoke with a startle. 

"Hey, it's me " Daniel calmed her down. 

Lia took a long, deep breath and hit the bed as exhaustion from the ordeal she has no idea about invaded her body, yet she stayed awake 

Daniel followed her action, he laid on his side and propped his head up on one elbow.

He admired her dark hair sprawled over the bed like silky willows, he wanted to just bury his face in her neck and inhale her scent forever while treading his hand through her hair, but his expression grew taut when he got an erection. Gosh, his mate didn't even have to try hard in seducing him. 

"Did you find out anything? " She asked, taking him by surprise. 

"Huh? " Daniel cleared his throat and pushed the dirty thoughts away from his head. 

" Yeah, you have one hell of a - "

He was extremely surprised when she pressed a finger against his lips, his cheeks flushed. 

" Did you hear that? "

"Hear what? " he could definitely hear his own heart slamming against his chest.

" The scream "

" What sc-"

That was when he heard it too. A scream followed by loud confused noises. 

"That's coming from the living room, something must have happened "  His mate pointed out, already working the doorknob and sped out of the room before he could grasp what was happening. 

"He's having a seizure " was what Lia heard the moment she came downstairs. 

Someone must have fainted cause there was a small crowd of people huddled around the victim. 

But what she never expected was Asher arriving at that very moment and clearing a path nor the victim turning out to be her friend Ben. 

"Move back! Give him space! Let him get some damn air! " Asher boomed, shoving people away from his path until he arrived at the center. 

As if he weighed nothing, he picked Ben up in his arms and carried him towards the direction of the stairs. 

"My room at once " Lia murmured to his hearing and led the way. She might not know what was happening but since it brought Asher here, then it must be pretty serious. 

Daniel was still contemplating going down to check out the situation when his mate walked in with Asher trailing after her and a boy in his arms - wait a minute, Ben? 

Asher lay Ben who was convulsing on the bed just as Jenny and her son walked into the room. 

"What's happening to him? " Jenny asked with a worried tone. 

"With all due respect Mrs. Jenny, I know this is your house but you might have to give me a little privacy on this one "

"Huh? What? " She was still in a daze when Asher pulled her and Trevor out of the room, shutting the door close right in front of their faces. 

He would apologize for that one later but right now, he had a more urgent task. 

"Hold him down " Asher commanded his pretty confused mate and love rival.
