The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 39 - Thirty - Nine : Your Mate Is In Trouble

"She was here " Daniel said, he was kneeling on one knee, and the other bent at a 90-degree angle in front of his body as though he was proposing.

He blew away the soil in his hand and studied the almost non existent footprints.Thankfully he wasn\'t a human so he had far more better sight.

His forehead wrinkled in a frown as he discovered something " She wasn\'t alone " He stood, staring straight at them "Another creature was here, two to be precise but the other scent is so little I can\'t sniff it out "

Ryan sniffed the air but suddenly wrinkled his nose in disgust " God! " he cried out " This smell is an abomination to my nose "

Judith sniffed as well and frowned "You\'re right but this smell is familiar. it\'s a rare creature but I\'m sure I\'ve encountered it before "

Ryan narrowed his eyes at her " It smells exactly like a..... "

"Mandurugo" Daniel completed, his eyes darkened and his expression murderous. Ryan gulped feeling the murderous intent coming from their alpha.

Daniel turned and faced Eden, the werewolf who let them inside the school. They could sneak in if they wanted to but they had to follow protocol especially with that nuisance vampire around. They didn\'t want to cause unnecessary problems that the vampire could use against them.

"You let a Mandurugo into this school?! " Daniel roared, grabbing the poor guy by the neck and lifted him off his feet.

"I didn\'t know besides I\'m just a PE coach, I don\'t handle registrations and transfers " Eden tried to explain choking with sobs

"Daniel, the guy\'s right. let him down, please" Ryan interceded on the guy\'s behalf. He knew Daniel would easily kill this guy if he lost control.

After a slight hesitation, he let go and the guy crumpled to the ground. Daniel took a deep breath, fighting to keep his anger in check, he knew how easy it was for a werewolf to lose control.

Pale and trembling with fear, Eden rose and escaped before the Alpha\'s mood changes again. He didn\'t want to be the collateral damage in whatever was going on.

"You scared the poor guy away " Ryan whined

"Like I care " the alpha retorted grimly

"It\'s not Eden\'s fault, you know how Mandurugos like to hide behind their pretty skins " Ryan tried to explain but of course this pig-headed Alpha refused to listen.

"Aren\'t we missing something here? " Judith asked drawing their attention " Mandurugos don\'t transform during the day but the scene clearly depicts she did "

They knew Judith was right.?Mandurugos are vicious vampiric creatures that usually takes the form of young, beautiful women by day, but develop wings and long, sharp tongues by night, which they use to make cuts on the victim\'s neck to obtain blood.

"Maybe she was forced to " Ryan answered, rubbing his jaw thoughtfully.

"Or had to " Daniel said.

"I\'m lost here" Judith complained.

Daniel sat down on the concrete bench he was sure his mate sat moments ago and took a long, deep breath .

"Her scent got stronger, it\'s intoxicating almost like a drug "

Her eyes widened, realization dawning on her " So did the scent of her blood "

"The Mandurugo wanted a drink and exposed herself in the process " Ryan summarized.

Judith gribbed her hair in horror "Your mate is in trouble "

"Was " Daniel corrected pointing to the uneven earth around the scene " There are signs of a fight before she vanished "

"She was rescued by a third party " Ryan said.

"A third party who knows how to vanish without casting a spell " Judith murmured , there was no sign of magic at work.

Whenever a spell is casted, it always leaves some sort of remnant behind which might be invisible to the human eyes but not to the supernaturals.

Just as firearm discharge residue, is deposited on the hands and clothes of someone who discharges a firearm, witches in same way leaves behind a residue after performing a spell.

"Vampires " Ryan answered while Judith nodded her head positively. That explains the second almost unnoticeable scent from the scene.

"Vampires from the Nicoli Clan " Daniel said calmly but beneath that calm facade, he was boiling inside. As much as he appreciated them saving his mate, he didn\'t want their filthy hands on her.

Ryan knew his alpha was furious, well, he couldn\'t blame him. He and Asher were always at loggerheads with eachother, they don\'t see eye to eye on most issues .

Daniel clutched his fist, it was obvious one of Asher\'s men had the girl. As the principal of the school, it wasn\'t surprising to find his men running around. Moreover the only vampire clan that could house such ability was no other than his Nicoli clan.

" It\'s about time I paid Asher a visit "
