The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 81 - Eighty-one : Mates Are Your Destined Soulmates

She had always thought Asher was pushing her away by claiming he wasn't her mate.

But it seems he wasn't lieing after all

Unfortunately, how she felt for Asher was something totally out of this world, it was fiery, consuming and worth it, she wouldn't even mind giving up her life for him.

His existence alone occupied her thoughts. Yes, she had a boyfriend from same grade back at her old school but whatever they had back then was child's play compared to this.

She just felt like Asher was her other missing part, the bone of her bone, her soulmate and she felt it deep down but then.... fate was trying to play a crude joke on her.

"M-my m-mate ? " She stuttered, eyes wide and incredulous.

"Yes. " He nodded " I'm sorry for dropping this on you like this. I didn't plan for us to meet this way"

Lia was numb, she didn't know what to feel anymore ; shock ? disbelief? anger?frustration?

None.

She wavered " Are you sure it's me?.... Aren't you mistaken? " Lia stressed.

Daniel smiled, he could see the doubt in her eyes.

"Wild wolves are naturally monogamous creatures who mate for life and because we're half the animal, we adopted that same attribute. But we're half-human too, so some werewolves become very selective, exclusive lovers and others are more polygamous which often depends on their human lifestyle.

" Moreover I impri - my wolf and I, imprinted on you the first day you came into little Town" He explained as the girl squinted her eyes in thought

"Wait a minute, you're that wolf my mom almost hit? " Lia questioned with shock

" Yes " He confirmed.

Lia raked her hand through her silky wavy hair, her thoughts all over the place . She had never forgotten that particular wolf, the way it stared at her that very day as if it could see through her soul made her shudder and had left a mark on her mind. Lia was just too confused and overwhelmed that she had failed to recognize it earlier.

"How does the mates know they're the chosen ones for the shifter ? " Lia queried curiously , looking him straight in the eye.

Daniel too didn't take his eyes off her as he started " It's quite simple, you know " He smiled " For beginners, you would like the way he smells "

Lia chilled, she did find his scent intensively alluring.

"You can't take your eyes off them "

Has she being staring at him all this while?

"Because mates are your destined soulmates, they're very possessive of each other "

Lia came to a startling realization, she wouldn't stand another woman laying hands on him

"They feel tingles and sparks when they touch."

Lia definitely felt that, and by the look on his face, she could now tell he felt that too.

"Because this someone's ingrained into your soul, you begin to have very strong often uncontrollable cravings, throughout your entire body " Daniel explained with a whisper-like voice and stepped closer.

He continued " We call it the 'mating fever' but it's literally just an intense desire felt because of the strong attraction between the two. The were-creatures are naturally more in tune with their instincts than other creatures, which is why, the more you fight the fever, the stronger it gets until everything erupts "

So in one word, he was trying to say , they literally wouldn't be able to keep their hands off each other, Lia mused.

Yes, she had to admit, she was insanely attracted to this hot werewolf that claims to be her mate notwithstanding all the evidence points to that too.

But that didn't change the way she felt for Asher.Though it might not sound exaggerated as the werewolves explains on his own part, but she feels sparks whenever she and Asher touches.

She hates the way other female students and teachers stare at him at school - She can't even stand what they're probably thinking.

Also, she can't take her mind of him and wouldn't mind being possessive of him.

Finally, she doesn't care but she's definitely lusting after him.

Lia was brought back to reality when she felt the tip of Daniel's nose run just over her neck , not quite touching it but right up to the back of her ear.

He took it in her scent, as if it was addictive , committing it to memory and fueling the desire already building inside him, but he flinched suddenly.

Though Lia wanted to fight against this sudden invasion but her body was the one in control until she felt him stiffen.

Though he made an attempt to hide it but she caught utter?disgust?written on his unshaven face.

Her eyes widened and her hands instinctively dove down to her neck where she let out a long sigh of relief upon noticing the tear dropped necklace was till tucked safely inside her top

Eventhough she didn't know much about Daniel, but judging from the fictional movies and books she had watched and read, she knew werewolves and vampires were natural enemies.

It was probably hard for him to cope with the fact his mate was half the creature they were destined to loathe.

"How did you know I'm a hybrid? " Lia asked surprised .

He looked up and though he looked tense he still managed to post a smile " Your scent "

" But this necklace masks my scent, how did you -"

"I'm your mate " He curtly replied but Lia felt he was hiding more details from her.

Pulling it out, Lia ran her hands over the tear-drop necklace absentmindedly - She missed Asher.

It was stupid, very stupid of her to think of another guy when she was with her real mate; even Asher acknowledged him. But she couldn't help it.

Suddenly an idea struck her, what if Asher was her mate too?

Her eyes shone , oh my God!

Maybe that was why she felt that way for him too?

No this is stupid, she sighed. Dan even told her it was impossible to have two mates.

Moreover if he was truly her mate , why was Daniel the one that rescued her and not him?
