THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

"How is she? " Daniel asked the pack doctor, with apprehension written all over his face. 

He had caused quite a stir when he appeared at their boundary with the white wolf in his arms. 

None of the werewolves in his pack has white fur. Moreover, it was quite difficult to see a wolf with pure snow fur. 

The common fur colours were black, brown, grey, reddish-brown, silver, golden, reddish or orange and white fur with a few dark patches that extend on the back, and can vary from grey to black. 

To find a white wolf without patches or  colour combination was almost impossible, so his pack members were actually thrilled with the thought of having a Canis lupus arctos in their pack. 

Only if they knew she's his mate. 

"When I examined her, it turns she has broken ribs, leg and hand with some minor dislocations and healed scratches"

Daniel ran his hands through his hair, by experience he knew those injuries were going to hurt a lot. 

He experiences broken bones a lot fighting off rogue wolves from trespassing into his pack, as well as chasing off Alphas veering for his position and was already used to the pain . But his mate was new to these, it would be a hellish torment for her. 

"And? " he questioned, the fact the doctor was still standing there instead of attending to his mate told him there was more to be said. 

"We can't treat her because she wouldn't shift "

" Oh shit " Daniel cursed out loud.

They wouldn't and can't treat her in her wolf form to avoid complications ; she would have to shift back to human form . 

"We wanted to know if you knew the wolf who turned her so he could force her to shift " The doctor went on and Daniel couldn't help but wince internally. 

"I don't know but I think she was bitten by a rogue " Daniel told the doctor and saw her eyes widen in both shock and wonder. 

Rogue wolves were usually brutal since they were equivalent to mad wolves and wouldn't just bite, they would rip and shred their victims into pieces until they were a bloody mess on the floor - there was no chance of survival. 

Also it was a wonder his mate didn't turn out to be a rogue, since the few number of humans turned by a rogue's bite or mauling turns out to be rogues themselves. 

Rogues were always known with their red eyes and insatiable thirst for violence and blood. 

They were often mistaken and referred to as "lone wolves " since they have no pack, often because they were exiled from their pack for a crime or left on their own for various reasons. 

Totally unlike lone wolves who have complete sanity but choosed a solitary life. 

"Then this is bad, if we can't correct those bones before she heals up, then she would suffer some deformities in her human form " 

Daniel sighed, rubbed his temple and said to her " Take me to her "

"What? " The doctor was startled, they knew how much they had to convince their alpha before he had left her side earlier and now he wanted to go back again. 

"I would force her into submission " Daniel told her determinedly and began to walk towards the direction of the operation room. 

The doctor hurried after him and finally blocked his path but Daniel growled at her and she unblocked his path but not without trying to see reasons with him. 

"But you can't do it," She tried to convince him " She's not even a member of our pack nor your mate.."

Suddenly she froze and her head jerked up when she figured things out

"She's your mate, isn't she? " she pointed at him but brought down her hands when she realized she was disrespecting her alpha. 

There was an unreadable expression on his face as he told her "I hope you keep that to yourself since you might never know what may happen "

The doctor shivered, though the alpha didn't go into details but his warning was apparent, she had to keep this juicy news to herself else… 

But it was strange, why was the Alpha keeping news of him finally finding his mate a secret? 

Perhaps, his mate's life was in danger which is why she couldn't be revealed, else the murderer finds her? No wonder their alpha brought her in. 

"Cynthia! " She heard her voice and snapped out of her reverie. 

"Yes Alpha Daniel ! " She answered and ran to him.

Thanks to her useless imagination, she didn't realize she was trailing behind the alpha until there was quite a distance between them causing Daniel to snap at her. 

She led the way into the operating room where his mate in her wolf form was lying on a large surgical table.

But Daniel's face scrunched up when he witnessed the scene of Lia being held down forcefully by two nurses. 

"She has been agitated ever since she woke up, so we have to restrain her from injuring herself further " Cynthia explained when she saw the displeased look on Daniel's face. 

"Hey" Daniel said and walked towards the wolf with white furs and blue eyes. 

Even when held down, she still struggled and growled threateningly at them. 

"It's okay " he told her and tried to touch her head but her powerful teeth snapped at his hand . 

"Alpha Daniel! " Cynthia cried out in concern and tried to come over but he raised his hand and signalled her to stay put. 

"It's me Daniel, remember? " 

Though Lia was there but due to her inexperience, she let her wolf take over which meant she wasn't in control of what she was doing. 

Since all her attention was finally gathered on him, Daniel slowly raised his hand up-to her nose while she watched him cautiously. 

She growled at him as if trying to scare him away but when he didn't budge nor move an inch, she sat up, lowered her head and sniffed his hand. 

For a while nothing happened as she continued sniffing but suddenly she thrust out her tongue and began to lick his hand. 

Daniel breathed in relief when he felt her lower her guard. He immediately gathered her into his arm, careful not to touch her injured parts and ran his hands through her thick coat of fur while she moved her licking to his face. 

He drew away and heard her whines "Yeah I know, I'm sorry for the way they treated you. They won't hurt you again as far as I'm here " 

But her whines continued a pitch higher while the onlookers stared in wonder. 

"I know this is confusing but listen to me Lia, you suffered some injuries and you need to shift back to your human form for them to correct your bones else you might suffer bone deformity " he told her and heard her whines 

" You can do it , alright? "

But she shook her head and barked at him, withdrawing into her old shell but Daniel wouldn't have that - not in his watch. 

He strictly commanded " Shift "

But she openly resisted him with a snarl. 

This time Daniel's jaw clenched and his gaze darkened as he stared straight into her's and boomed, 

"I said SHIFT! "

Everyone jumped out of their skin  upon his outroar, they knew he just forced her into submission.

Lia whimpered and lowered her head, then everything began to change right in front of Daniel. 

The transformation was slow but began with her limbs before reaching the rest of her body . 

Before long, Lia in her human form was on all fours on top of the surgery table and stark naked before him. 

Daniel swallowed, averted his eyes and ordered for a sheet. Since they were shapeshifters, clothing was a major necessity and he made sure his pack never lacked it.  

Quickly Cynthia handed him the sheet which he wrapped around her body.

Lia was shaking and sweating profusely, it was obvious she was traumatized. 

"Daniel " She whispered his name, glancing up at his face as if she was finding it hard to believe that this was reality. 

"Yes, It's me " he wiped away the sweat on her forehead.

She gripped his clothe firmly and said " I'm scared "

Daniel hugged and threaded his hand through her hair soothingly. 

"You have no reason to be scared, I'll be here with you, alright? "

She nodded and he signaled Cynthia to take over. 

"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 he pulled away and left for Cynthia to perform her duty. Daniel hardly made it outside when he heard her agonizing scream and clutched his chest. 

He could feel her pain and it was suffocating him ; it felt like someone just grabbed his heart and was twisting it inside out. 

Daniel felt the bond between the both of them had strengthened ever since she shifted, he suddenly wondered if it was the same on Asher's side. 

Speaking of Asher, how was he faring? .
