The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 178 - One Hundred And Seventy-eight:Those Green Eyes

"I feel kind of guilty," Lia confessed.

She glanced over her shoulders, trying to make out Asher's place in the distance. But as advanced as her eyes were, Lia couldn't see that far.

"The deed has been done, you can not change that unless you can manipulate time " Said Daniel who was accompanying her home.

Asher could have taken her in his car but right now he was mourning his damaged house.

Daniel had contemplated borrowing one out of his many cars but decided against it; Asher was touchy while in the grieving period.

After digging up-to a considerable number of graves in Asher's barren acres of land, they had spent the rest of the evening burying Raphael's dummy corpses.

The curfew was active so they were violating the law by being outside by that time but the couples didn't care. Those rules were designed for the weak and ignorant humans anyway, what could possibly happen to them?

It was dark already and there was hardly anyone in sight. Shops, restaurants, and so many places were closed, with only the chirping sounds of birds, insects, and the couple's discussion disturbing the otherwise tranquil environment.

Lia didn't worry about the police patrolling the area, with her great sight and hearing, she and Daniel always evaded them effortlessly.

Her phone rang abruptly which startled her, causing her to curse out loud. Thankfully, there was no patrol team close to them else their position would have been discovered.

"Who is it?" Daniel asked curiously as she silenced the call.

"My fill-in father " answered Maya causing puzzlement to cross her mate's features.

"It's my brother Trevor, don't mind me. It's just a nickname I gave him after he became this controlling douche "

"You can't blame him, he's just looking out for you," Daniel told her to which she rolled her eyes.

"Protect me my ass, I think he just wants to stroke his ego by exerting his authority as the man of the house "

"I don't know if you would believe me or not, but I think your brother knows about me which is why he dislikes me " he disclosed it to her and watched her stop in her tracks.

"You found out too?" Lia was surprised.

He nodded, "I had my suspicion at first, it was pretty common to dislike someone but the look of disgust on his face? It was way more than just a simple dislike.

"I have enough contacts, so I had your brother investigated and the truth came to light; your brothers are members of Hunter's league "

"What? Brothers?!" Lia screamed in shock. Her head was reeling from the information her mate revealed to her.

"How can it be brothers? Wasn't it supposed to be a brother? How could Trevor let my little Rex into that shady organization! "

"Wait, you know about the Hunter's League? " Daniel asked.

"My father was once a hunter "

Surprise flickered in Daniel's eyes, "That makes sense then, offsprings of hunters normally take after their parent's footsteps "

"Rex is too young besides, my father never wanted them back there which is why he kept us hidden from the council - "

"How do you know all this? "

"I have his diaries, although? I'm still translating it since he wrote it in a not so common language but - "

"Your father left a diary? "

"Yes, and why do you sound so interested in it? " Lia sensed the excitement in his voice.

"This makes things much easier, " Daniel told her and grabbed her hand, "Keep those diaries safe, I think there is some information in there that would tell us much about you "

"I highly doubt that, my father and I were not that close. Moreover, I became supernatural not too long ago, why would he write about me? About a child he had no idea would turn out to? - "

"No, listen to me Lia " He clasped her face with his palms," There is something Asher and I have not told you "

This time Lia knew Daniel wasn't joking and gave him her whole attention, "I don't think your birth was ordinary. "

"What are you talking about?"

"At school the day the explosion occurred, Asher and I didn't tell you everything" Daniel confessed and began to narrate the discussion that transpired between them and Her Ladyship.

"Wait a minute " Lia put up her hand with her eyes squeezed shut while battling to digest the new information her brain was fed.

"Whoah, this is quite difficult to understand but you're trying to say I was born on an inauspicious day and that there's this prophecy that claims I'm the hope for the bad guys? How lame can this get? "

"As lame as me lying to your mom about my age " Daniel tried to lessen the tension hanging around his mate; she was under pressure.

Lia wanted to laugh, sadly her heart was too heavy. But there was no denying the fact that her mate had lied to her mom.

Jenny thought her daughter's boyfriend was twenty-four years when he was actually twenty-six.

Lia made Daniel tell the lie since she knew there was no way on earth her mom was going to let her date a guy, who was eight years older than her.

It was better that way. But Lia couldn't help but wonder how her mom would react about Asher when she eventually learns about his true age; Asher was seven hundred years older than her.

"Trevor: Where are you? " Her phone buzzed with a message.

"Lia: On my way home " She typed back hurriedly before glancing up at her mate who said to her.

"I now understand the exact reason why Trevor hates me? "

" Why? "

"Werewolves have a reputation of being aggressive and hot-tempered; Your brother thinks I'm going to hurt you one day" He explained.

Lia shook her head in disbelief, then grabbed Daniel by the front of his shirt, drawing him close to her.

"You are going to hurt me?" She poked him playfully on the chest, digging her finger into that firm chest.

Daniel chuckled, it was easy for others to think that way but he knew otherwise.

Perhaps he might unintentionally hurt his mate emotionally but being physical on her, it was impossible. Any werewolf that violates his mate was nothing but a psychopath.

"I'm afraid I would hurt you before you hurt me, mister " Lia bragged.

Daniel's eyes twinkled, there was no way he was going to turn down a good challenge, "Are you trying to say you're stronger than me? "

His hand went to her bottom as he cupped it and hoisted her up against the wall of the dark alleyway they were currently in.

Lia let out a sharp breath the moment her back hit the wall, her mate buried his nose in her neck and his breath was tickling her.

She tugged his face away and met his vibrant amber eyes, "You might be stronger than me but I'm more flexible and got more wiles "

His eyes slightly widened but before he could counter her moves, she had slithered out of his hold, climbed around his body, and cut him at the knee, forcing him to plonk down on the ground.

Kneeling and facing the wall, Daniel felt the pain on his scalp as she grabbed a fistful of his hair while she whispered sexily into his ear, "Who's stronger now? "

Daniel smirked, "You are "

Lia was still basking in her victory that she never saw his move coming. Daniel without warning, swept her feet from beneath her as she landed on the ground with her back.

Her mate was atop her before she could recover from this unforeseen attack.

"Unfortunately, it is never over until it's truly over and I still won " Daniel rubbed his victory all over her face.

Lia rolled her eyes and pushed him off her. Daniel got up and lifted his mate to her feet, he used that opportunity to get a good feel of her body.

Butterflies rustled in her stomach and Lia swore she could hear her heartbeat in her ears when her eyes moved to his lips.

Every nerve in her body was screaming for her to just lean over and kiss the hell out of him but it was late already and she didn't trust her wolf - that damned animal had a high libido.

"Let's go," She said and went ahead.

Daniel swore his mate wanted to kiss him especially with the way she was greedily staring at his lips - what a great disappointment.

They made small talks until she finally reached her place and stood on the front porch.

"So this is it " Lia blew air from her mouth noisily.

"Yeah, it is, " He said.

Lia took a step forward and gave him a short deep kiss, he barely had time to savor it.

"Good night mate " She patted him on the chest and rang the doorbell.

"Night mate " He whispered and ran off before the door was opened.

"Are you crazy? Where in the world have you been?!" Trevor attacked her as soon as the door was opened.

"Don't talk to me that way, I'm your elder sister! " She scolded him sternly.

" Then act like one! "

Lia was about to retort back when the doorbell rang. With anger coursing through her vein, she stormed towards the door.

"Who in the world? - "

Lia was yet to finish her words when she gasped in pain, a sharp metal was plunged into her stomach and she slumped to the ground.

"Those green ones." Was her last thought as her eyes closed in death.
