The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 62 - Sixty- Two : They Won't Leave You

Now, show me what you've got " Ben said and blew a whistle and Lia zoomed off using her extraordinary speed.

How did things get to this stage? let's go back a bit.

* Flashback *

"Can't I sleep over? " Ben asked Lia with a pouted lips while she passed him a threatening glare.

"Do you want to die? "

"Please " Ben pleaded, rubbing his palms together while literally jumping up and down.

Lia frowned "What about your parents? would they allow you to sleep in a complete stranger's house? "

Ben snorted a laugh but Lia couldn't help but notice the flash of irritation that crossed his features.

"They're not around neither would they notice even if I was across antarctica by now " He explained without his usual zeal.

Lia knew he had a story to tell but she wouldn't push him into narrating anything if he didn't want to.

"Fine then" She sighed "I'll tell my mom and if she agrees, expect a guestroom set up for you"

"No!" He said in a flash

She cocked a brow "What? "

"Can't I sleep with you? "

"Nice try " She gave him a long stare

"Fine" He said and waved a dismissing hand "I'll take the floor "

"Good by me " She smiled wickedly and left to inform her mom.

Truthfully, Lia had expected her mom to put up an argument regarding Ben's stay but dumbfoundingly, she readily agreed. Infact, her mom was even more excited to have him over than Ben himself.

Sitting on the edge of his goddess bed, Ben was surprised when she came back bearing thick bedspreads and duvets and pillows with a strange look on her face.

He wanted to ask what was bothering her but decided against it especially when the strange look turned into an irritated one. He couldn't tell what was going on in her mind but he knew instinctively it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.

Lia felt peeved all of a sudden, she looked down at her arms , at the pile of sheets and scoffed. This was hilarious, why was she even doing this in the first place? She looked like a mother hen indulging her chick .

Exasperated, she moved towards Ben and dumped the whole content on him and climbed into her bed without looking back.

As if that was not enough, she kicked him hard at his buttock and he fell off her bed. Lia stretched out herself, purring satisfactory like a cat with a contented smile on her face.

Much better.

Ben stood, lips pouted and wanted to complain but Asher's warning suddenly chimed in his head.

Before they had left, Asher had warned him secretly and sternly about her looming mood swings due to her wolf side.

He told him to just look the other way if she ever did something childish, unexpected and infuriating out of nowhere.

So Ben had no choice than to let go of all grievances, he obediently made the bed with the fresh sheets and pillows she had supplied him.

" Are you asleep? " Ben asked curiously looking up towards Lia's bed. He was currently lying down on the floor , relaxing on his makeshift bed.

"Why? Do you want to do something to me in the middle of the night? " Lia replied sarcastically after a long silence.

Ben chuckled. Do something to her? His goddess? He wouldn't even dare.

He didn't ask another question until a very long time when he even suspected she was asleep.

"How do you feel being this way? "

"What way? " She asked back almost immediately.

He glanced towards her and was surprised to see she was lieing at the edge of her bed starring at him intensely.

"Being a supernatural? "

Lia blinked and took a deep breath before replying " It feels great cause I'm always buzzing with this energy especially after I feed, like I'm on top of the world as crazy as that sounds "

She then sighed heavily " But honestly, I'm scared. I'm scared of the fact that I might hurt my family one day if I lose control. I'm scared that I might have to leave them in order to protect them from myself "

She swallowed, voice heavy with emotion " I'm scared of the fact that they might leave me one day if they find out what I am - "

"They won't " Ben cut in with confidence "I've seen your type of family, they're the type that sticks with one through thick and thin. I'm sure they will accept you no matter what you are cause you're still family and they love you, moreover blood is thicker than water "

Lia stared at Ben astonished , this was the first time he said something reproductive.

"Whatever " Lia rolled her eyes and waved her hand while adjusting her body on the bed "Nice pep talk " She said but Ben couldn't tell if it was a compliment or sarcasm

"Anyway, anytime you need my blood, I'm always available. Let me be your personal bloodbag "

Taken aback by his comment, she scrunched up her nose in disgust " Eww ! no ! I don't take human blood but vampire's . Why do you think the vampires think I'm strange "

Ben frowned, he thought of her as strange too. But no need to worry, he'll run all his tests tomorrow.

And true to his words, Ben woke her at five in the morning claiming he has to train her and run some tests.

*End of flashback

So here they were in the woods again testing out her abilities. Little Town was a very tree-friendly town so it wasn't a burden to find greenery.

Infact woods could even begin behind someone's house but was mostly found in both sides of Little Town's freeways and, normally characterised by overlapping and interlinking individual tree canopies, often forming a more continuous canopy with varying shade.

"Slowpoke" Ben chided her harshly checking his stopwatch "Even a cheetah can do better than this so get your ass moving now! "

Lia gritted her teeth , if she knew this sadistic exercise was his idea of a training, she wouldn't have obliged him at first. She swore at once, she would have her revenge.
