The She-Devil And Her Alphas

"You do know that move is low, even for someone like you, Ashton,"

Ashton turned around to meet his sister's smug look. Hailey, the more audacious twin and eldest of them all was looking casual and chic in her white crop top that showed off her midriff and grey cameo cargo pant with a high boot.

Ashton rolled his eyes, big sister was about to lecture him- if not blackmail him.

"You do know Asher nor mum would be pleased to know that you're going around compelling people," she smirked.

He knew that evil smirk, he was not going to come out of this one easily.

"It was just him, no one else,"

"Doesn't matter. Who knows, the next time you might try the compulsion on a larger scale,"

"He was hitting on my mate," he hissed out his excuse.

"That still doesn't justify your action. If you were so scared of losing your human to a petty human, you should have fought against him man to man than using underhanded gimmicks," Hailey hinted he was a coward.

Ashton was offended by that comment and showed his displeasure by growling at his sister, asking for respect as he released his alpha aura.

However, Hailey was an alpha too and retaliated by baring her razor-sharp teeth too. Green eyes staring into blue ones with deep hot ferocity, none was willing to compromise and which would have turned into a quick fight had a human not passed them by.

It was a known fact that there wasn't a moment of rest in the packhouse ever since Lia gave birth to two alpha children - Hazel was the only one without the alpha aura from birth.

As expected, it was right for an alpha to birth an alpha but even without that aura, the kid would still be referred to as the alpha's child. There was a possibility the titled alpha kid might grow strong enough to live up to his position. But it was apparent that Hailey would lead the Moonlight pack as soon as her mother steps down or she defeats Lia to take on the role of Alpha.

Werewolves were terrestrial creatures hence it wasn't ideal to have two alphas in the same pack, talk more in the same room. But that tension was curbed due to the fact both were siblings and had their vampire side to even out their innate blood rage.

Knowing they had to keep their identity a secret, both broke off but not without receiving a strange stare from the boy who sensed something weird going on.

The human students didn't know Ashton and the twins were siblings which left them puzzled at their strange relationship - the trio was highly defensive of each other. They didn't always fight all the time but had fun as siblings do.

"Fine, what do you want?" Ashton gave in.

"Party at your father's house this Friday,"

Ashton froze, " No way," his father would skin him alive if he hears of that.

"No party, no silencing of my lips," Hailey gave her condition.

A glint appeared in Ashton's eyes, "Fine, go ahead and tell mother. I would just announce to her how you've been rolling in the sheets with Zukai,"

"You wouldn't dare," Hailey growled, coming closer to him threateningly.

"Not if you keep your mouth sealed," He stood his ground, unfazed by the ferocious grumble deep in her throat.

Ashton knew their mother was going to go bananas once she hears of her daughter getting involved with the androgynous vampire. One wrong move and she could kill him with her venom since they weren't mates and Zukai was obviously a vampire. Hailey was a thrill-seeker which didn't surprise Ashton she was having a forbidden relationship.

They both released feral growls again. In a fair fight using only their wolf side, Hailey was sure to win since she had mastery over her beast than Ashton who still fought with his - the both haven't reached a compromise. Ashton was pushing his beast away fearing it would overwhelm him nor could Davi, his beast function without him. But with time, practice and patience, Ashton was going to be a forbidden force - the sight of his monstrously huge beast alone planted fear in the heart of those who saw it.

"Do you think I would be the only person profiting from this alone?" Hailey said

"What?" Ashton's brows drew together in confusion.

"If the party goes ahead as planned, I would get your human mate to come along too and the rest is up to you to strike the iron while it's still hot," Hailey came up with a tantalizing offer.

But even with that, Ashton could sense the disdain in her tone. With many years gone, supernaturals still dreaded having human mates due to the difference in their lifespan. Well, that would be an issue he would discuss with Sofia after he makes her his - there was a lot of time for that.

"Fine, the party's on," Ashton agreed. His father Asher was going to be pissed for sure especially if one of his stuff gets broken, he would take on the punishment - Asher would probably starve him of vampire blood for a while.

"However," Ashton added, "Be careful who you bring to the party - I don't want any vampire on the loose with humans around," free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Of course," Hailey agreed with a smile, "You don't have to worry about a thing. Just think about the fun you'd have with your mate," she patted him on the shoulder and left smugly.

Ashton took a deep breath, reeling in his wolf. Thanks to Sophia, Davi has been restless and interfering with his everyday activities and mood; he was restless and agitated.

Discovering he had the same class with his mate, a smile curved his mouth and Ashton found himself hurrying to calculus class - his most hated subject even though he aces it thanks to his great memory.

But that excitement must have been for nothing because Sophia didn't even glance his way plus the seat beside her was occupied by another male who kept stealing glances at her.

It took everything in Ashton not to wolf out and tear the dude from limb to limb. If he could stomach human blood like other vampires - he inherited his mother's kinky feeding on vampire blood - Ashton was sure he would sink his fang deep into that throat and rip it open, toying with the asshole until he bleeds out.

The primal urge to draw blood was so great that his sharp black talons flicked out and he hid it under the desk, clawing at the wood in a bid to restrain himself.

It didn't work, and he was fighting not to let his fangs descend, it would cause a great commotion if the humans saw him this way. Ashton couldn't tell the state of his eyes which was why he lowered his head, burying his face in the book on his desk.

Outside, the sky darkened gradually, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the distance putting a pause to the teacher's lesson.

"What's with the strange weather?" He heard a student complain while looking out the window, "It wasn't supposed to rain today,"

"The weather fluctuations in this town are so strange," Another complained, the other followed suit.

"I didn't come with an umbrella and my blazer is so expensive; I can't have this rain damage it,"

Their complaints soon turned into a hubbub of noise swallowing the deep growl emanating from Ashton's throat.

Amid the disturbance, a student had her eyes focused on Ashton. Sophia knew she wasn't supposed to care but the sight of Ashton with his face on his desk unfazed by the happening around him left her curious - it was unlike him. The Ashton she knew was always teasing and poking fun at her.

With the teacher trying to calm the class down, Sophia left her seat and came over to him.

"Ashton," Sophia whispered, crouched beside him as she shook him gently, "What is wrong?"

No reply.

She shook him harder and was prepared to peer underneath his desk any second to see what he was doing when Ashton suddenly drew her up to her feet, smashing his lips against her without warning.

Sophia froze, her eyes rounded. That asshole took advantage of her kind gesture and fooled her again. But why was her heart beating so fast? Why did she strangely like the feel of his lips? No, he got to be playing her for Christ's sake.

Before Sophia could lift her head and strike him or the teacher giving him detention for such an indecent act during class, Ashton had zoomed off. The sky cleared up at once while the students were left dumbfounded by what just happened.

By the time Ashton returned, the whole pack had heard of his episode today. Lia was in the living room going through research with her daughter Hazel when she heard the door to her son's room close with a reverberating bang.

"What's with your brother today?" She asked.

"Same old story,"
