The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 192 - One Hundred And Ninety-two : The Possessive Mate

Wows were drawn from the mouth of students the moment they landed in Kinney village.

A welcome banner hung at the entrance of the village greeted them while the driver drove further into the community until they got to their destination - the village chief's mansion.

The students had been truly amazed when they heard the chief offered to sponsor their stay in his place and those who had looked down on Kinney had no choice than to get infected with the others enthusiastic anticipation.

"Do you know that the chief here is incredibly handsome"

"How is that possible? Aren't most chiefs old?"

"Yeah but I heard the tradition here is quite different. The position is monarchical which means the son of the late chief inherited the position"

"And the most interesting part, he's single" The girls squealed in excitement.

Lia rolled her eyes, even though she shouldn't bother with them, she couldn't help but get irritated, those girls were fawning over her mate - who knew what lewd thoughts were going through their head at the moment.

"Hey, would we stay in the same house as he?"

"Probably, since he's sponsoring us in his place, he must be residing there - where else would he go? "

"Ahh! I can't wait to find his room!"

"I just need to see his face, that's enough for me "

"More like his chest - you should see the muscles on him"

"Urm...Lia ?" Ben called her name unsure of the strange sudden change with her.

She was looking out in outer space but her face was distorted in anger while her talon was digging into the cover of the headrest on the next seat with her lips pressed together.

When she didn't respond to him, Ben looked towards Dan for help.

The vampire of course heard the discussion going on but he never imagined it would affect her to this extent - Asher wasn't joking when he said werewolves were extremely possessive of their mates.

But it was too risky, this was a bus full of humans and wasn't the right place to wolf out; he had to find a way to calm her down.

In the guise of placing his hand on her shoulder, Dan dug his sharp nails into her skin to the extent of drawing blood with the hope of rousing her from her reverie all to no avail -It seems he had to get into her head then.

Lia was feeling so angry, her gaze rested on that bitch who was the most interested in meeting her mate; she had straight black hair and a pretty face but she was prettier - and the thought satisfied her.

A sadistic smirk crossed her face and she began to think of ways to ruin that beautiful face.

If her talon slashed that cheeks diagonally, it could scar her big time and make her ugly, Lia realized. Perhaps, she should gouge out those eyes so she wouldn't see her mate at all, seems like that would be better.

Lia felt someone trying to access her mind but she pushed him out and focused on her plan - no one would stop her.

"Hey, you're bleeding from the nose" Dan's seat neighbor noticed.

"It's nothing" He dismissed her concerns with a gruff tone, drew out his handkerchief from the pockets of his pants, and wiped his nose.

Seems like he would have to try another approach, her mind was too strong to break into.

"Goddess Lia " Ben grabbed her arm when she stood, successfully drawing her attention but he gulped when he saw her eyes; it was completely yellow.

Dan was alarmed when he saw her rise to her feet, what was she thinking of doing?

To crown it all, those chatterboxes were adding more fuel to the fire with their discussion:

"How do you know all of this about him?"

"I have a friend in Kinney, she tells me all about this "

"It would be a dream come true if? he bares his chest "

Lia flung Ben's arm away and began to make her journey towards those ignorant girls.

"What do we do?" The worried Ben asked Dan who was deep in thought until his eyes fell on the birds soaring through the sky.

"What's his personality like? A great body without a good? manner is - ahh!"

The screams reverberated throughout the bus as a flock of birds which came out of nowhere - and was scared and confused as they were - flew blindly around them causing a huge commotion.

The driver had just reached his destination when the strange bird attack came suddenly, causing him to land an emergency brake.

The force of the bus juddering to an abrupt halt jostled everyone forward and unluckily for Lia who was standing, threw her to the ground - face on the floor.

The pain released Lia from her wolf's hold, "Ouch" She cried while the rest of the birds flew out the window after wreaking their havoc.

"Are you okay?" They asked her.

"I'm good " Lia rose to her feet, hands on her nose that was broken - but would heal in a matter of minutes.

She hid it away from them and returned to her seat, quite irked by Caroline's snicker from the back.

"Alright guys, we're here" Announced the driver.

There were excited screams and hollers as they began to climb out of the bus save Lia who rested back against the headrest, her hand preventing people from taking a glance at her broken nose.

"It was a sight to behold" Lia heard Caroline mock her.

"Be nice Caroline, she's injured," Eric said sternly.

"Whatever" She scoffed, flipped her hair dramatically, and strutted out of the bus.

"Hey, do you need my help, " Eric offered.

"No, I'm good, thanks for asking by the way " She rejected his help without a second thought.

Eric was hardly gone when Ben and Dan were all over her.

"Easy on my heart Lia, you almost gave me a heart attack today "

"What the hell is wrong is you, you almost exposed us?"

Lia winced internally, what was wrong with her? Her wolf was the problem here - it was behaving like a hormonal teenager in love for the first time.

"I can't wait to be rid of you," Dan sighed.

"Why don't you leave me alone then?!" She snapped at him.

"Trust me, I would love to but I have orders to follow from your mate" Dan retorted, "Find your way when you're done healing" He stormed out of the bus.

" Hey "

"If you're about to give me a piece of your mind, I'll advice you to come back later; I'm pised off right now"

"I was about to say there's dirt on your face" Ben pointed to the spot on her face.

"Thank you "

"Hey, don't worry about anything, since your other mate is here, he would help you out, I'm sure " Ben comforted her.

"Thank you. Now take your hands off my shoulder" She eyed his hand.

"Fine" He put up his hands in the air.

By the time her nose was healed and Lia made her way to the mansion, the welcome speech and guidance had already been read and they were being brought to their sleeping quarters.

As depicted by their teacher who was also acting as a tour guide, both sexes were residing on the same floor but in different rooms.

Built dorm-style, each room was spacious and had six double bunk beds, each with a private locker and reading lights alongside private bathroom facilities.

Lia was listening attentively and like the other students following after the teacher when she heard her name being called.

"My lovely niece, Lia !"

Her face scrunched up in confusion, lovely niece? All her relatives were living halfway across the world, who could be in Kinney village?

Curiously got the best of her, she turned to the source of the sudden noise only for her eyes to almost fall out of her socket.

Wasn't that She-Zukai? What was she doing here and how did she turn out to be her aunt?

Suddenly, the message from Daniel earlier replayed in her head. What was he up to? Nevertheless, she went ahead with the script.

"Auntie" She ran into her embrace, fooling everyone with her great acting.

The teacher who stopped to catch a glimpse of what was going on, continued ahead with the tour when she realized it was nothing but a? family reunion.

"What the hell is going on here?" Lia asked curiously.

"Just dilly-dally till everyone's settled down and you would know " Female Zukai replied to her.

And so she and Zukai spent twenty minutes chattering about girls and other irrelevant stuff. Lia found out that the vampire was fun to be with.

"This should be enough, go to the dorm already"

" Why ?"

"Just do as I say "

Lia shrugged, grabbed her bag, and left for the dorm but when she arrived, she discovered all of the beds were occupied - there was no space for her.

"Karma sure knows how to fuck some people" Caroline commented with a hint of ridicule.

It seems they had made an insufficient arrangement, the teacher was still pondering on what to do when a deep voice sounded from behind,

"What is going on here ?"

Lia felt her heart did a double flip when she heard his voice, it was her mate Daniel.
