The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 72 - Seventy - Two : Caroline's Games -3

"Ugh... "

Lia stirred and finally opened her eyes. She tried to move but was surprised to find out she couldn't, she was restrained.

She groaned once more, her head pounding so hard she felt she could die anytime soon, this was worse than a hangover.

When her eyes finally adjusted to her environment, she was shocked to discover she was tied to an iron chair in some basement lit by a single led bulb.

And there was Caroline resting against the tiled basement wall in all her glory

"Finally, you're awake " She said approaching her with this smug smile on her face.

"What do you think you're doing? let me go ! Don't you know this is kidnapping?! " Lia growled and struggled against the bounds all to no avail.

Her hands were chained securely to the armrest while her legs were chained to the furniture leg as well. There was no chance for retaliation.

Caroline's body shook vigorously with laughter "You? Kidnap? " She laughed again " I'm sure no one would complain if one more supernatural disappears from this earth "

Lia's eyes widened and her lips trembled "Y-You knew? "

"Yeah, yeah, figured it out that day you almost attacked me in the hallway "

Realization finally dawned on Lia, no wonder Caroline suddenly requested being friends. It was just a ploy for her to pull down her guards and Ben was absolutely right.

She fell right into her trap.

"What do you want from me? " She finally gathered the courage to ask

Caroline pouted her lips and squat down in between Lia's legs , holding her chair as support in order not to fall off her feet and Lia was grateful she was donning pants.

"That's the problem, I just want to teach you a lesson "

"Or maybe, you just want me away from Asher" Lia inputted bitterly

Caroline shook her head thoughtfully " That included, probably " She said and slowly leaned in towards Lia menacely .

"But I'm curious about something " She said and grabbed Lia's jaw roughly with this odd gleam in her eyes.

"At first when I discovered you're a supernatural, I was confused. Your glowing iris was a signatory attribute of werewolves but then, Asher hardly associates with werewolves not to talk of having an illicit relationship with one, so I thought you were a weird vampire . But to be on the safe side, I decided to spike your drinks with wolfbane incase you turn out to be a werewolf and also vervain altogether incase you turn out to be a vampire but that's what baffles me the most -"

Lia interrupted her " You did what? you are crazy! "

Ever since she became a supernatural, Lia hasn't given much thought to her safety cause she summarized she was invulnerable to most attacks .

Moreover who would want to attack her save the council who doesn't have an idea of her existence yet , but she never expected there was a substance out there that would leave her weak and vulnerable to attacks.

She just never thought about that.

" Oh darling, we're just getting started " Caroline gave a crazed laugh " As I was saying before I was interrupted " She continued " I've being with Asher for two years and now, and I've watched him build a vervain tolerance but you! The amount you took in today was enough to knock him out for days but you woke up after a few hours, which is incredible and unbelievable , that is if you're indeed a vampire "

She let go of her jaw and focused her eyes on the chains " As an extra precaution, I added the silver chain when binding you incase you indeed turn out to be a werewolf . And do you know, silver is an element to which werewolves possess an extreme weakness and vulnerability, because the Were-creatures are a cursed bloodline – cursed by a moon goddess but you, you're not affected by it at all. So here comes my question: what are you?"

" I don't know " Came Lia's reply without hesitation.

Caroline smiled and stood to her feet "Fine, we will do it the hard way then "

" Alexa " she called and the person in question made her way down the stairs that led into the basement with a bucket in her grip.

Lia stared at them warily, what were they up-to this time?

Suddenly, Caroline took the heavy bucket from Alexa and splashed the whole content all over Lia.

She gasped from the coolness of the water cause it took her breath away. Looking like a drenched rat, Lia shook her head vigorously and pushed her wet hair away from her face.

"What was that for?! " She yelled at them.

An ice-cold smirk decorated Caroline's face

" That was just a warm-up , the real fun is about to begin "

For some unknown reasons, fear begin to creep into her heart and she felt Caroline had a malevolent plan in mind .

Caroline moved out of her sight only to return with a 6-gauge electrical wire which was life and shooting sparks from the end.

"Do you know" Caroline started " Supernatural creatures are great and all, but if you can paralyze them, you can pretty much do away with them "

Lia shuddered, despair creeping through her.

She wasn't a fool. She might have great regenerative ability but the pain was still there and the mad glint in Caroline's eyes told her this was going to be a gruesome torture.
