THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

"And that marks the end of the lesson for today " The biology teacher summarized just as the bell rang. It was break time.

Students rushed out of the class filling the already buzzing hallway; the hubbub of excited voices and conversation from hundreds of students filled the arena.

Caroline's party as it appears was still the hottest news right now and each student had their own version of the story to offer and it was quite entertaining.

"Have you heard? " Lia heard someone say "There's rumours circling about that Alexa's been kidnapped? "

" Really? " The other asked " I thought she was just missing? "

"That's what they thought at first but now it seems a lot more than that and now the police are going about questioning students that were at the party that night "

Lia knitted her brows tight in concentration, Ben had updated her with the recent happenings . Though Alexa's case seem more serious but Linda's abrupt departure was suspicious as well.

She had a feeling things weren't as simple as they looked, why would Linda leave little Town and Alexa get kidnapped - Someone was definitely pulling the strings from behind.

And it wasn't Asher. It wasn't Asher's style - What does she know? What's even Asher's style?

At the thought of Asher, the warmth of a blush crept up her neck at once. Lia always marvels at the amount of self-control he exhibits. She understood the sexual feeling that comes with drinking from a human - well vampire in her own case since her body doesn't accept human blood.

Lia could relate since she now has a firsthand experience.Feeding from Asher was so sexual that she was quite startled he hasn't taken her to bed yet.

At first she had thought something was wrong with him or maybe, he was just holding back but the explanation he gave her during their morning canoodle cleared every doubt.

Since she has two mates, it was going to complicate matters If they mark each other and go into full-time mating before she chooses between the both of them.

Because it is possible to feel a sense of attachment after having sex which would deepen, increase and strengthen the already existing bond to a greater degree with the said partner while leaving the other person at a loss, she needs to avoid it.

So Asher thinks she has to be clear-headed and able to think lucidly when the time comes to choose a mate and not be influenced by intimacy of the experience

"Ugh!" Lia screamed, tugging her hair and attracting questioning looks from the students.

God Why?! Why! Why! Why me?! , She cried internally. Who bestowed this cruel fate on her? She couldn't reject Asher but she couldn't reject Daniel either .

Though she came to know Daniel recently but inwardly she feels she's known him forever; like they were old separated souls who just found each other and didn't want to let go. It was confusing.

"At this rate, you'll go crazy before I go crazy from the voices in my head " A voice she could proudly recognize as Dan's said from behind.

She whirled around to face him, quite startled actually, judging from the fact she haven't seen him around since that poisoning incident.

"Cafeteria? "

"Huh? " Then her eyes followed the direction of his eyes " Ahh yes " She answered him and they pushed through the crowd of students heading the same place.

Thanks to Dan's overwhelming popularity, charm and sex appeal, he now has a reserved table - the power of fans.

The four seat cafeteria table was always cleaned and maintained by dedicated female fans prior to his arrival.

No one was permitted to sit on it unless invited by Dan himself - There was always hair gripping and tongue-lashing for anyone who breaks such rule.

Lia shuddered, sometimes the power of fans was scary. Left alone, they would probably coat his seat with gold.

Immediately they arrived in the cafeteria, excited screams and shrieks filled their ears. Lia stared at Dan with concern, telepathy was definitely a curse. How was he faring with all those voices in his head? Wasn't there a way to muffle the voices or just tune it out entirely?

"I'm fine " He answered as if he knew what was on her mind.

"You read my mind? " She asked

"No " He said right away

"Then...? "

He gestured to his face " It's written all over "

"Why won't you read my mind then? " Lia asked curiously. What if there is a chance he can't read her's? She hoped.

Lia understood the ability was inmate but the idea of someone reading her every thought didn't settle well with her, she felt like it was an invasion of her privacy.

"I can but I can't " Came Dan's reply that made her rejoice internally but dying from curiosity .

" Why can't you read my mind? "

Dan breathed " Whenever I try gaining entrance into Asher's mind, he just pushes me out ; the wall a ball bounces off when thrown against a wall and this is something only people with strong mental strength can do , but you.... " He falters and turns to face her with eyes that weren't half Asher's mesmerizing ones.

"I can access your mind but I can't get any information from it cause your's is like a long passageway with uncountable rooms going off it and I can't seem to find the right one without losing myself in the process "

She didn't know whether to be flattered or scared of herself but all in all, she was thankful no one was reading those embarrassing thoughts of hers.

They grabbed a tray and thankfully didn't have to stand in line cause the students made a path for them to pass through and get their food -ah, the power of a celebrity.

Once done, the both headed to the specially preserved table and sat down while the female students were literally drooling and staring at Dan with love emoji in their eyes.

"I won't be surprised anymore if they've created a fanclub for you already " Lia teased "All that's left is to dye your hair blue and strap a guitar on your shoulder "

Dan grinned at her before digging into his food. Yes, the food wouldn't satisfy him nor contribute anything to his body but it was a perfect facade to fool the ignorant humans.

" Are the both of them dating? " As expected, Lia picked up a discussion from behind.

She ignored them and continued eating her food.

It was better if they thought that way than rumours of her with Asher. Though it was pretty acceptable to the supernaturals but half the population of people in little Town were humans and wouldn't accept the news of her dating her principal - not even her own family.
