The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 87 - Eighty-Seven: The Mating Fever

"I'm truly sorry for keeping you indoors, I would've given you a good tour of the pack but unfortunately, we're currently battling a virus" Daniel apologized for the umpteenth time to the genuinely surprised Lia at the dinning table.

It was late already and yes, they had spent a considerable amount of time getting to know each other - well she got to know about the werewolf community.

Thanks to that, Lia got to know that a werewolf has to be born or made, making her a made werewolf ; infected by a near-death mauling.

Apparently she was strong enough and had survived and gotten infected with the virus, since lycanthropy was an extremely aggressive genetic mutation that jumps to the host with the spread of genetic material.

After then she would heal and transform at the moon phase, or while experiencing a period of intense emotion and afterwards begin to shift at will.

" I don't understand, I thought you guys don't get sick? " Lia asked completely confused.

"We don't get sick but this is not an ordinary virus, a dark witch cast a spell on my pack and it came about. The virus suppresses our wolf side and thus rendering us human and easily susceptible to the disease "

"Oh " She said and dug her fork uninterestedly into the meaty dish before her.

It seems werewolves were fond of meats cause all the dishes presented before her had more meat than actual solids in it. But unfortunately, her fangs were aching for something else.

Daniel sighed when he saw her picking at her food, it seems the vampire was right. She was a made-hybrid.

Made hybrid? How funny, such a thing has never being heard of in history. It's impossible to be a vampire and werewolf at same time unless you were born one, but made? Impossible.

It was against the law of nature, an abomination.

He reluctantly threw a blood bag at her which she caught with fluid motion accompanied by a questioning brow.

" The vampire came by, said it would help or something " Daniel said and she lit up at once.

Asher came by ?! He really did?! Why didn't he come visit her? oh right, she sighed. This was werewolf territory.

Werewolves were extremely possessive and aggressive, encroaching on their territory could mean serious trouble.

Though Daniel tried to keep a straight face when she unscrewed the cap but she could tell from his crinkled and puckered face like crumbled aluminum foil , that he was super uncomfortable with her feeding.

Truthfully, Lia was hurt by his attitude but she forced herself to see from his own point of view too. She understood it wasn't easy for him to accept the fact that his mate was half the creature they were destined to detest.

So she consumed her blood drink with lightening speed but was surprised when he placed another blood bag in front of her.

"Take your time" He said to her and she flashed him a grateful smile. Daniel stood from his seat and left without uttering a word while she savoured her meal - As expected, Asher's blood was the best.

By the time she was done and there was nobody in sight, Lia decided to take a tour of the house.

It was obvious the house was a mansion thanks to it's countless passageways and rooms that if not for her great sense of smell , she would have lost her way over and over again.

Daniel had told her that this was the pack house and though some werewolves choose to live separately in their own homes, there were still quite a lot of them occupying the rooms in here.

According to Daniel, the pack house once bustling with activity, have come to a near standstill. The atmosphere was quiet, tensed and gloom - everyone was scared for their life.

A few pack members passed her by and though they acknowledged her presence by bowing their head but she could see the fear in their eyes. They were all on face masks and gloves and keeping a good distance from one another. There was no more trust since one couldn't tell if one was infected unless tested, it wasn't written on the face.

Lia returned to her room when she got bored, Daniel wasn't kidding when he told her she was barred from leaving the pack house at the moment, the pack entrance was under barrage of security - even a fly couldn't sneak in without their notice.

She walked into her room's verandah and leaned against the glass balustrade as she stared up to the sky , enjoying the night view.

"I'm sorry for leaving abruptly, something came up " Daniel apologized coming to stand beside her but unknown to him, she smelt him before she heard him.

"You don't need to apologize , I know you have a lot on your plate already " Lia countered, looking away as she felt his heated gaze upon her. She couldn't look him in the eyes, it was doing funny things to her stomach.

Suddenly she felt a warm hand on her chin and her face was suddenly turned towards him. As if nature was in cahoots with him, a soft breeze wheezed by and this sweet exotic smell which made her inside stir wafted into her nostrils.

For the first time she noticed he smelt like fresh snow mingled with lavender and it made her mouth water.

They kept staring into each other's eyes as if spellbound, then Daniel began to lower his head slowly towards her.

An internal battle began inside her, this was totally wrong and also totally right ; she was crazily conflicted.

This was her mate, right? Someone destiny has arranged for her - her own perfect match made in heaven. Then why was she so sure and unsure at same time? what about Asher? Why does she feel so bothered and guilty?

But Lia's mind blanked out the moment Daniel's lips covered her's, the pure rush of pleasure that assaulted her made her knees buckle but his strong , solid arm were there to steady her.

Their lips moved at a synchronized space, her body so in tune with his.The kiss was so sweet , savoury, but short-lived cause she tore away from his grasp.

She let out a sharp gasp the moment she came up for air. Her face was flushed and her breath heavy, her pounding heart doing more harm than good at the moment.

"How old are you? " Daniel asked out of nowhere surprising her.

"Why? " She asked "I'll be eighteen in a week time "

"Good" He smiled " Cause that's when the mating fever would officially start "

Crap.
