The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 226 - Two Hundred And Twenty-six: Something Dark And Wild About Him

Warning: This chapter might be uncomfortable for some readers but some revelations we\'re made. Just a heads up for Raphael\'s murderous anti-fans.

---------

What the hell?

Lia wanted to panic but forced her mind to calm down while trying to learn where she was. For starters, the soft covers beneath her told she was on a bed but not exactly her bed- it wasn\'t this soft.

The girl pulled against the constraints only to find out she couldn\'t tug free because she hurt her wrists instead. There was not much space between the cuff and bedposts, she would need a lot of pushing - and groaning.

The cold air that swept across her body told her she was dressed in nothing but her underwear which puzzled her further. How had someone abducted her without her noticing?

Since she was blindfolded, Lia\'s senses were intensified to notice even the slightest change in her environment, so when she picked up slow but deft movements coming in her direction, she tensed up.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Raphael\'s lips were pulled to the side seeing her helpless before him, it gave him some sort of power over her.

He stroked her face with the back of his hand, feeling her shiver. Just as he expected, the attraction was still there. She was the only woman who had drawn his attention this long.

Lia had elicited the dominance spirit in him the first day she had tricked and defeated him; no one has ever done that. And for a month now, he had fought against the craving to conquer her but she had fixed her gaze only on his younger brother and cast him aside.

As if that wasn\'t enough, she was also a powerful entity which made his dislike for Asher know no bound. Why was he the one always getting the good stuff in life?

Yet even when when he had it, that dumb brother of his didn\'t know how to treasure her. How could he share this glorious queen with another? And to crown it all, a werewolf? How disgusting!

He disliked those creatures and they disliked his kind as well, the war between both never-ending. Even the thought of Daniel touching talk more kissing her made his cold blood boil.

Since he couldn\'t have her because Asher was around, Raphael had learned to watch her from afar, using that opportunity to note her little smiles, frowns, and several facial expressions.

But that made him greedier for her attention, so he chose to go out with her mother, allowing him to stay close to her without drawing suspicion.

Still, that didn\'t satisfy him until he began to cook this plan. Asher had always known he was dangerous however, the kind-hearted little brother hoped he would change for the better without knowing there was no brother in the jungle; everyone was on their own.

And now, he had finally gotten what he wanted after such a long time and no one would take it from him - he was now Asher.

Lia felt goosebumps climb down her spine when the stranger caress down her face with the back of his hand.

Coincidentally, that hand felt familiar but it couldn\'t be him else Lolli would have leaped for joy or tried to jump him, at least.

"I don\'t know who you are but trust me when I tell you I\'ll rip your head off once I get out of this"She resorted to threatening her abductor, hoping he would reveal himself and for sure, it worked.

Raphael chuckled, then lowered his head towards her ear saying,

"Really?"

Lia went still, her eyes would have widened from shock by now if it wasn\'t for this blindfold."Asher?"

"Your one and only" came his answer which left her more confused.

How was that possible? She didn\'t feel him nor was the usually excited Lolli thrilled to see him.

Perhaps, he was blocking the bond intentionally. Moreover, Lolli sometimes had these terrible mood swings, that was probably what was going on here. Lia could never understand the wolf\'s menopausal behaviors.

Binding her to the bedpost? Lia had no idea that Asher was into these kinky ideas but then, the vampire had always been open to several sexual ideas so it wasn\'t really surprising, neither was she complaining - Maybe, a little heads up next time.

But what mystified her so much was how he got her here without her noticing? She surmised he must have had Dan teleport her here but Asher undressing her without her waking up? That was a pretty top skill he got there she would love to learn.

"Your face, I would like to see your face, take off the blindfold," She told him to confirm he was really Asher and not some vampire who could mimic his voice.

The past months with vampires who had diverse powers had taught her that anything was possible. She could only trust what she sees.

Raphael didn\'t put much thought into her request, she just wanted to see Asher, now his face.

Maybe if the vampire had a mate, he would have understood the power of the bond and the silly flaw in his plan.

Raphael pulled down the blindfold, his eyes connecting with her blue ones that never failed to stun him each time he looked into it.

Lia\'s breath was taken away. It was him, that face she had missed for days now.

Though he had a few stubbles on his face, it made him look more matured and hot. His green eyes were still as bright and brilliant as ever. Unexpectedly, something was missing but the hybrid couldn\'t exactly pinpoint what was amiss.

"I missed you," he said, kissing down her neck.

"I missed you too" she breathed with her eyes closed, savoring the feeling. Asher always knew that that spot was one of the erogenous zones that turned her on.

"How?" Lia managed to say, he was getting increasingly close to her sweet spot; that indentation where her neck connects with the collarbone he could easily bite and mark her as his.

"How what?" He asked, against her neck.

"How did you undress me without me waking up? I know Dan was the one who brought me here"

"Undressing you was the best part," Raphael said mentally. He had watched greedily while taking off her clothes one after the other.

Lia followed his gaze towards the vanity table where an incense stick was burning.

"You drugged me?!" Lia was bewildered. She had not noticed that because it was odorless neither did her line of sight fall on it.

"Calm down Lia," He told her, " It\'s not those drugs you think it is."

"What do I think it is?" She shot back.

"The incense is medicinal, it only relaxes your tensed body and mind," He told her, "You know I would never harm you"

Lia took a deep breath, maybe, she was all worked up over nothing. She had been with Asher for months plus the fact he\'s her mate, he would never harm her as he said.

Raphael smiled upon seeing the trust in her eyes, he had forgotten to add that the incense would make her susceptible to his touches and continual usage would make her addicted.

Meaning that with time, she would dislike other men aka Daniel touching her, even the simplest of kisses would unsettle her.

Also, that incense would make her lower her guard around him and numb her wolf during this period with him.

Though it was almost zero to impossible thinking of a soul exchange, Raphael had a feeling that her wolf who shared a soul with her might sense something odd.

Moreover, Raphael didn\'t trust that animal around him. The last time she bit him, he almost went crazy from the venom if not for the timely help from his brother- ever the good Samaritan.

Seems he would have to trick her into using her vampiric side more often now she was back, that\'d be much safer and a better choice for him.

"I want to touch you now"

"Oh" Lia was stunned by his bluntness.

Well, what was she expecting when she was all tied up and half-naked on his new bed - she had an inkling he purchased it for this purpose.

"Alright" she gave him consent having known he missed her during the two days of her absence.

Lia gulped out of nervousness when Asher returned the blindfold to her eyes, it was about to go down.

Asher began with slow, sweet kisses as if he wanted to savor the time lost between them before it migrated to a hot and needy kiss. He kissed her so hard it was like he was trying to imprint his mark on her.

She knew he couldn\'t help but get jealous of the time spent with Daniel; that overgrown vampire sometimes behaved like a baby.

By the time he moved his cold trail of kisses to her stomach, Lia was already wet in-between her legs. Her nerves tingle with pleasure with moans of delight being drawn from her mouth.

The main pleasure coursed through her body when he slid down and tossed her panties to God knows where, positioned himself between her legs, and began to use his tongue to swirl around her nub.

"Asher" she cried out his name, wanting to touch him but she couldn\'t, her hands were restrained.

There was something dark and wild about him today but she loved every side of him, every part of him - good or bad.

Lia squirmed and buckled into his touch, moaning and screaming out his name as he tortured and teased her until the waves of pleasure crashed and she found her release.

Raphael licked her dry, none of her juice would bypass him. An evil smirk crossed his features, he wanted everything that belonged to her.
