The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 179 - One Hundred And Seventy-nine : You\'re One Of Them

"How\'s mom? " His little brother asked him as soon as he stepped out of their mother\'s room.

"I managed to calm her down," Trevor replied.

Rex\'s face brightened, "I want to see her," he requested and tried to walk forward but Trevor halted him.

"Mom took sleeping pills, she needs rest "

The excitement disappeared from his face," Alright, I would see her tomorrow then "

The disappointment on his face was apparent but Trevor could not allow him to hassle their mom at the moment, she was going through an emotional mess right now

Although Trevor was sad but he was somewhat relieved, he wouldn\'t need to worry about that damned vampire hanging around his mom anymore.

One down, one still to go.

This leaves him with that werewolf who his sister was head over heels in love with; it was only a matter of time till that one leaves her too.

Talking of that dumb sister of his...

"Damn it, she\'s not picking up my calls! " Trevor cursed out loud from frustration as he descended the stairs.

"Who? Sister? "

"She must be with that werewolf! "

"Daniel? That\'s a good thing then, he wouldn\'t let anything happen …" His brother\'s glare shut him up.

Trevor called over and over again but she wouldn\'t answer, he bet Lia must have silenced his calls else with this level of pestering, she would have picked up already.

"You should stop worrying, if she\'s with Daniel, she\'s safe" Rex tried to comfort his brother who was pacing up and down the living room with deep wrinkles on his forehead.

"Say one more word and I promise to gag you " Trevor issued him a warning, phone pressed against his right ear.

Rex made a face at him and threw himself on the couch with his arms folded together annoyingly.

"Curfew is on already but she\'s out there with the same creatures we protect her from " Trevor soliloquized as a result of his internal unrest.

Rex wanted to comment but he bit back on his lips to keep him from speaking; Trevor was touchy right now.

"Where are you? " Trevor typed.

He chewed on his nails nervously while waiting for her reply. Ever since he found out about supernaturals, he became more concerned about the safety of his family.

His father was a Hunter and did everything possible to protect them, but he was no more and now the responsibility of guarding his family against external threats was on him.

If only his sister was not courting danger.

"On my way home" came her message moments later and though he was relieved, he still couldn\'t calm down.

"At this rate, you would have a mental breakdown before sister comes home, " Rex said.

Trevor took Rex\'s words seriously and managed to have a seat. But he? trained his eyes on the door as he began an internal countdown while Rex shook his head and clicked his tongue, tsk tsk.

At the ninety-ninth count, the doorbell rang and Trevor shot to his feet, opening the door before the second ring.

"Are you crazy?! Where in the world have you been?! " Trevor was all over Lia before she hardly stepped into the house.

"Don\'t talk to me that way, I\'m your elder sister! " She rebuked him strongly

"Then act like one! " He yelled at her.

Trevor was tired of worrying over her to the point of craziness. She can\'t just come home late during the implementation of a curfew and expect to be welcomed with open arms.

The chiming of the doorbell interrupted the tense atmosphere as Lia went to answer it since she was the closest to the door.

Trevor swore everything happened in a flash, he didn\'t even see the face of the perpetrator since her sister let the door ajar.

The next he saw, his sister fell to the ground: her face pale with a stake plunged deeply into her heart causing it to bleed profusely.

He felt his heart stop and willed his feet to move but it was rooted to the ground while his lips trembled wordlessly.

Rex\'s scream of horror woke him from the shock and he rushed to Lia\'s side, cradling her head in his arms while Rex kneeled beside her.

"Hey" He slapped her cheeks, trying to wake her up but her skin was cold and becoming stiff; no, it couldn\'t be.

"Sister, wake up " Tears welled up in Rex\'s eyes, he pulled her arms, "I\'m scared, open your eyes please "

"No, that can\'t be right! His sister can\'t be dead! " Trevor screamed in denial.

What was going on? Everything was happening too quickly.

His hand quivered as he reached for his phone "Ambulance.. yes, he had to call an ambulance… they would save his sister "

Trevor was about to type the digits when his phone was snatched from his grip. "What… ?"

He looked up, it was the werewolf.

"What do you think you\'re doing? Give it back to me, I need to call for help " Trevor tried to make a grab for the phone in his hand, but the werewolf crushed the device right in front of him.

His eyes spat fire, "Are you crazy?! Do you know what you have done! "

"You are a bad person! " Rex spat at Daniel with hatred in his orbs, still kneeling beside his sister\'s body.

"You have finally killed her! " Trevour started to pound his hand on Daniel\'s chest in anger but the werewolf suddenly hoisted him by the shirt.

"Listen to me right now, you better behave if you want your sister back "

"W-what are you - "

Daniel pushed him away, bent and lifted his mate from the ground,he turned to Trevor saying,

"Shut the door, no one is to know whatever happens in here, not even your mother, understand? "

This is crazy, Trevour thought. His sister was dying - he refused to believe she was dead - he was supposed to be calling for help, why was he even listening to this werewolf?

"Do you have a way to heal her? " He asked hopefully. He had heard some supernatural creatures had a way with healing.

"I don\'t have to heal her "

"What?! "

"Both of you should prepare yourself for what you\'re about to see? "

Rex had stopped crying when he heard Daniel had a way of healing his sister but there were some things? he couldn\'t understand.

Trevor knitted his brows together in confusion, what was he talking about? what should he prepare himself for?.

"How would you save her "

"Just do as I told you, " Daniel said to Trevor and began to climb the stairs with his mate in his arms, heading towards her room while her siblings trailed after him.

Earlier, after he escorted her to the place, Daniel barely walked a mile when he felt this splitting pain in his heart that forced him to his kneel.

It was as if someone had actually stabbed him in the heart but when he checked himself, there was no wound on his body.

At that moment his eyes flew open, there was only one person who could elicit this kind of feeling, his mate; something must have happened to her.

So he hurried back to her place like a mad man, apprehension written over her face.

Thankfully, he was in time to stop her brother from making a rash move. If the ambulance had taken her away, Lia would have been declared dead and that would have complicated everything.

"Shut the doors and windows! " He barked orders while placing her gently on the bed.

Trevor and Rex couldn\'t tell what Daniel was about to do but they obeyed nevertheless, saving their sister was more important.

" What now? "

"I take the weapon out "

Trevor grabbed his hand "No way, that would aggravate - " The rest of his words were lost forever as Daniel backhanded him, pulling his hand free.

Daniel grabbed the stake and pulled it out just as Lia jerked upright with a sharp gasp, slamming her hand into his chest which sent him flying a few meters to the ground.

With her chest heaving, Lia rose to her feet but her environment was swirling so she found herself back on the bed.

"What is going on? " She asked as soon as her vision cleared but her sight rested on her brothers staring at her with shell-shocked eyes.

That was when she looked down and through the tear in the cloth, watched the wound on her chest close up.

Uh-oh.

"I can explain " She stood abruptly but her brothers took a step back.

A groan brought her attention to the side where she saw Daniel on fours, clutching his chest - God, she hit him.

When Lia had awoken earlier, the one thought in her head was catching the perpetrator; time for her, had stopped when she was stabbed.

So when the weapon was pulled out of her chest, she had thought whosoever beside her was the attacker and instinctively reacted.

Who knew it was her mate rescuing her?

"What are you? " Trevor asked, a mixture of shock and disbelief was written all over his face - their faces.

Lia was tongue-tied, she always dreaded this day cause she knew it would come, and now, her fears had finally caught up with her.

"You\'re one of them, aren\'t you? "
