The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 146 - One Hundred And Forty-six : The Pain Was Real

It was like the hell never ended, Lia thought she would die. She couldn't understand what was going on but she could clearly understand the pain and it was real.

"Just a little more " She heard someone say, probably the doctor . Then she felt someone grab her hand and next a popping sound was heard while she screamed as the bone shifted back to its rightful position.

Thanks to her loud screams for the past minutes, her voice became hoarse and low - it was a wonder she did not scream off the roof.

"Wrap the bandages and help her get dressed, then she's free to go " She heard the doctor ordering her assistants but she was too tired to look up.

Lia was sweating profusely and her body felt like it was dug out of a subterranean pit ; even a slight movement caused her pain.

What in the world happened? What accident resulted in her almost getting all the bones in her body broken? why couldn't she recall anything of it?

Clearly, Lia knew she took sunshine but anything after that was just blank and no matter how much she tried to remember, she still couldn't come up with anything.

What the f*ck was happening?

The only thing she remembered was seeing Asher on the cemetery ground and he looked injured.

She was puzzled as to who would do such a thing but after witnessing the blood on her own paws and furs , she instinctively knew she had been the one who hurt her mate.

That moment was stuck in her head, everything was so confusing and overwhelming.

Why did she have paws instead of limbs? Why was she on fours? Where did all these furs come from? She couldn't have transformed into a wolf?

But if she truly had injured Asher, there was a high chance she infected him with the werewolf venom, right.

At that moment Lia just screamed, cried out her sorrow, confusion, pain,? - she let everything out.

It seems she must have passed out afterwards because she found herself in a strange place moreover.

So she began to struggle but was quickly held down by two females who were surprisingly strong.

Now recollecting the events that went down, she remembered she had been very angry when she found herself on the surgical table.

Could it be that somehow she had been captured by some humans who probably took her to a wildlife center thinking she was an animal? She had thought.

A mistake on their part but Lia couldn't exactly blame them since it was difficult to differentiate a werewolf from a normal wolf ; that didn't mean she would allow herself to be subjected to such lowly treatment - she was a human for crying out loud.

Lia struggled frantically until she finally sensed another presence which was domineering but somehow familiar.

Yes, she had been cautious at first but eventually calmed down after she confirmed he was really Daniel.

She laid down all her complaints and grievances to him and surprisingly, even in her wolf form Daniel understood her.

But that joy was until he commanded her to shift into her human form. Goosebumps climbed up her arms and for some unknown reason, shifting back and forth scared her .

Lia tried to flee but she was all surrounded, so she thought of giving him a deaf ear but Daniel suddenly roared at her.

Strangely she felt this overbearing pressure and the need to submit, it overtook her and before she knew it, she began to change back to her human form.

Though she was stark naked before everyone but she hardly recognized that, her body was trembling and every nerve, bone, tissues, organ were used to their limit.

Lia was beyond exhausted and had thought of just giving up when Daniel held her hand and motivated her,

"Listen, it's going to hurt a bit but just remember I'm with you and take heart .Be strong for the both of us…."

He added reluctantly "And for Asher " Then she watched Daniel pull away and leave her side.

Determinedly, she had hardened her heart against the pain and went through all those torturous treatment.

Lia might not remember what happened but she swore her revenge on whosoever caused this all.

After she was bandaged and dressed up, she was wheeled out of the operating room and led into an expensive looking private ward.

" Hey " Someone said and she looked up, not entirely surprised to see him.

"Hey " she replied back and watched as his eyes scanned her all over.

" Do you still hurt anywhere? "

She croaked "Yes, everywhere. I wonder why I'm still alive. "

The nurse tucking Lia into bed quickly left the two lovebirds alone to have a moment together.

Daniel approached her and sat at the edge of the soft bed "Give me your hand "

Perhaps if it was before, she would have given him a dubious look but right now, she was too tired to care.

She willingly gave him her hand and closed her eyes in exhaustion. But almost immediately, her eyes snapped open and she tried to tug back her hand but Daniel's grip was iron.

Lia had suddenly remembered another ability werewolves possessed aside from their usual extraordinary features - Taking away pains.

All werewolves have the ability of taking away the pains of people - although half of the pain since all of it would kill them if care was not taken.

And that was what Daniel was doing at the moment, he was absorbing her pains.

She felt? her body become lighter and the pain more bearable until Daniel groaned and pulled away.

"How do you feel now? " Daniel flashed her a sheepish smile but she knew he was intentionally masking the pain.

"Are you insane?! " She yelled at him and began to hit on the chest from frustration.

"What if something happened to you too because of me? "

Tears pooled in Lia's eyes as she tried to hold them back , she still couldn't forget the sight of Asher lying in his pool of blood.

She continued to hit Daniel, each punch gaining momentum as she transferred her aggression on him but he suddenly held her still.

"It was not your fault " Daniel told her the moment he sensed his mate was beating herself up over that incident.

"You had no choice and he had no choice either "

"I'm so sorry "? the tears spilled down this time but he wrapped his arms around her and gently laid her head against him.

Lia sobbed against his chest while he threaded his hand through her hair in a soothing manner. She cried for a long time and until she could hardly speak did she stop and pull away.

"Please don't cry anymore, it ruins your pretty eyes " Daniel who took her face in a clasp told her and she couldn't help but smile.

Lia looked up and stared into his eyes " You have pretty eyes too "

And just like that as if a spell was casted, they kept staring into each other's orbs before Daniel slowly leaned closer and lowered his head.

Heart pounding against chest, Lia closed her eyes and met with his lips halfway through the journey. Daniel's lips captured hers and he kissed her slowly, gently yet sweetly.

Lia found herself wrapping her arms around his neck just as his hand went to her waist and pressed her flush against him.

His other hand was brushing the hair away from her face and she moaned as he explored her lips.

Lia gasped, then purred softly like a contented cat when she felt Daniel caress her spine through the opening in her hospital gown .

The gentle kiss suddenly became demanding, fiercer and hotter and she arched her back, pressing her body against his.

Lia swore she felt electricity course through her veins making her wonder if Daniel felt the same. But she pushed the matter to the back of her head and instead cupped his face, probing his mouth with her tongue and savouring his taste.

Hearing Daniel groan from the pleasure delighted her wolf and the urge to dominate took over her.

Her fingers ran through his blonde silky hair that was really soft to the touch. Then she pulled his head back forcefully, giving her a clear view of his neck.

Though his wolf was a domineering one but he surprisingly loved it when their mate took over and Daniel appreciated her efforts through his wandering hands.

Lia's fang grew at the sight of his pulsating vein at his neck and though she felt the urge to bite into him, she knew it was risky ; she hasn't learnt to manipulate the flow of the venom yet.

So she nipped his skin and felt him shudder, his strong arms wrapping tighter around her waist.

She let the tip of her fang graze his throat softly and Daniel moaned out her name.

Lia trailed her fang down his throat, licking and nipping as she offered the combination of both pain and pleasure.

Heart racing and about to lose his mind, Daniel pushed her back to the bed and took back the permission he gave her.

He kissed her senselessly until she was gasping and writhing from the pleasure raging through her .

But the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted their hot makeout session.

At first Daniel ignored it but when it rang incessantly, he cursed, pulled away from Lia and answered the damn phone.

Lia watched Daniel's annoyed expression as he picked up the call and muttered a silent "thank-you " to the caller.

She couldn't tell how far she would have gone with him if the distraction hadn't come.

But inwardly, she loved it. If only things weren't so complicated; she still had to consider Asher.

The call ended and Daniel turned to face her with a grim expression,

"It's Asher, he wants you back in little Town "
