THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

Lia stood in awe just as the door was closed by her mate. There were about fifteen pups in that room who were running helter-skelter, chasing, and bumping into each other from excitement.

They were about two feet tall and their eye color varied; golden yellow, amber, brown and some even had traces of blue.

The pups had diverse fur colors and though most had gray or brown, there was still black, white, and red mixed with some colors.

"Hello," Lia said and they all stopped in her directions as if controlled. Their snout moved, picking up her scent.

"Such an adorable creature" She squatted down and began to run her hands through the furs of one of her furry friends that walked towards her.

"You're so cute" Lia was still saying when the little pup opened its mouth and bit her finger so hard that tears squirted from her eyes.

But a full shriek was drawn from her lips when another chomped on her butt.

"Ahhh!" Lia screamed and shot to her feet, hands rubbing the spot on her butt where she was bitten.

As if a cue was given, all of them rushed at her and she was forced to the ground.

"Get off me, you little devils !"  Lia yelled, tossing one after the other away from her body.

But the more she moved them away, the more they climbed and overpowered her. They bit her hair, clothes, and skin - Daniel wasn't kidding when he said they were teething.

But his idea of teething was misinforming. Unlike human children who had two or three teeth during their teething period, these pups had a complete dentition - though not as large as a normal werewolf's but full - her mate should have explained better.

Lia felt like crying, they were all over her and she was sure she'd be unrecognizable once she escaped this hellhole. Their entire mouthful of razor-sharp teeth wreaked havoc on her body.

"Ouch, that hurts " Lia chided a pup who pulled out her hair with its paw. The wolf had white fur with black streaks on the back, stomach, and legs with golden yellow color eyes.

"No, you not there" she scolded another one with red furs and tan hairs on her shoulder who bit her toenails.

"I swear to God if you - " She was still talking when one mischievous pup climbed over the others, using their bodies as a stairway to his destination, stood on its hindleg, and licked her face lavishly.

As if that was not enough, another climbing her back and using her hair as a rope to pull himself up, peed on her.

Lia stilled for a while, not minding the tingling places being tugged and bitten, or the coldness seeping into her body as a result of the urine, she wiped the massive drool from her face - lips included.

Now, she was angry.

Lia shook them off her body and released an angry growl. The others who were still hanging unto her body sped off while others coming for a second-round reversed at once.

She finally breathed at last, chest heaving but her eyes never left those devil puppies who were huddled together watching her curiously.

Fuck, she thought she had scared them!

She watched them, they watched her, peering inquisitively at the two fangs resting in-between her row of canines.

All of a sudden one of them shifted into her human form easily, that action made Lia jealous. 

Was shapeshifting that easy for the newborns? She knew how painful it was for her the first time she transformed.

Lia was on all fours defensively, watching questioningly as this little stark naked werewolf child crawled towards her. 

Once close enough, the baby stood on shaky legs, reached out, and clasped Lia's face.

Though alarmed, Lia stood still and wondered what that little bun was up to. Surprisingly, her partners watched her actions with pure curiosity too.

The baby put her hand in Lia's mouth, tracing her teeth until she found her fangs; the source of her fascination.

Lia snorted inwardly, so that was why. They were curious about her fangs? As newborns, it was obvious this was their first time seeing fangs, so it interested them.

Lia let the kid explore to her heart's content, she was so drawn to it like a newfound toy - at least that gave her time to recover from their attacks.

But Lia was careful not to nib her, though the hybrid could now control the flow of her venom, she didn't want any angry female werewolf pulling her hair because she bit her kid by mistake.

The kid stopped. Lia's brow raised, what now?

The baby werewolf turned towards the others and made a howl, Lia could have sworn it sounded like a whistle - no, a signal.

Signal for what?

They all charged towards her.

Lia's eyes widened in shock, she was being fooled all this time. She had thought the pup had been satisfying her curiosity when all this time, like the police, she had been scouring a crime scene.

They sent that little devil as a scout, her responsibility was to assess if Lia's fang was a threat to them or not. And now she had confirmed they wouldn't be harmed, they were ready to attack.

"Stop! " Lia screamed with a hand gesture and was surprised when they obeyed.

She tilted her head to the side confusingly, did they heed her command? Why?

"Sit " she tested her luck.

They all flopped down on their stomach and looked at her in admiration - wow, that's new.

"Roll " She twirled her finger

They all began to roll around on the floor like dogs do, which was quite amusing to Lia since some bumped into each other but continued with it anywhere - quite enthusiastically.

They stopped and watched her, eagerly waiting for more commandments unknowing that Lia was at a crossroad, she was out of ideas. What would she do next?

Her line of sight fell on the television and carefully reached for the remote, turned it, a cartoon show came up.

"Alright, one after the other, you have to show one affectionate gesture and that's all," Lia told them strictly, gaining confidence after a few tests.

For a moment she had thought they didn't understand her until one leaped at her, which she caught in her arms and licked her face.

"Well, that's comforting; a gesture of love " Lia mumbled to herself before placing the pup in front of the television.

"Be a good boy " she rubbed his head.

"Next! "

And so the affectionate gesture began with most of them biting her - affectionately, aka love bites as she sees it - than licking her face or peeing on her.

The scene of Lia and the pups lounging on the rugged floor and watching SpongeBob was the scene that greeted Daniel and the others when her time was up.

"Unreal " The caretaker who had been taking care of them previously gasped, "They don't even watch that show cause they hate it "

She was amazed, "How did you do it?"

But Lia ignored her and ran into the arms of her mate with an aggrieved pout.

Daniel laughed, patting her back before he wrinkled his nose, picking up something, "They peed on you?"

Lia lifted her face away from his face and nodded pitifully.

"That's a good sign, it's their way of marking their territory which means I'd have to contend with them for your attention"

The once quiet puppies stood to their feet and charged towards Daniel who was monopolizing the woman they liked.

"Just as I said, " Daniel pointed out.

But when they were within touching range, Daniel dropped to his feet and growl-barked, baring sharp serrated canines at them threateningly.

They all whimpered, did a u-turn; fleeing with tails tucked firmly between their legs- Daniel bullied them.

The alpha werewolf asked her in-between in a laugh, " Is that how you forced them into submission? Growl viciously cause fear is the only emotion that'd force them to give up "

Huh, Lia was confused.

She laughed nervously, "Of course that was how I did it" 

Right, pups?

"So did I pass?" Lia asked nervously, she wouldn't go through all this torture for anything.

"Of course, you excelled, " Daniel told her before smooching her on the lips.

"I stink of urine, " Lia pulled away.

"I don't care, you're gonna smell like that a lot if we have our puppies in the future"

"What?! "

Daniel was stunned, "What is wrong?"

" Not one but litters?!" She yelled.

"Werewolves normally birth three or four at least, though my birth is a different case " 

Lia gripped her hair in horror, " You're trying to say that I would still go through this same scene in the future - but this time with my kids? "

Daniel pursed his lips, "Probably, but you don't need to worry cause I'll be there to support and deal with them, alright?"

Lia felt all the air leave her lungs, so she was still going to deal with her imps in the future? 

Was it too late to marry Asher?
