Lia had a dream .

In that dream, she wanted the world to burn, felt the need to wrap and envelope everyone and everything with pain. She wanted all to rot in hell but that was until a light appeared.

She couldn't remember his face but her inside screamed with excitement, it was as if he was the only cure to her madness.

Still asleep, Lia moaned in delight when her hands caressed something soft and hairy. It felt warm and comfy to the touch.

With a languish smile, she stirred and cuddled into it but it was ridiculously large that her hands couldn't reach its other end, so she just lazily drop her hand on its hairy belly.

Her hand stroked its belly realizing how long and thick the hairs were, infact it felt more like furs.

Suddenly, it released a deep satisfied purr and Lia's eyes snapped open at once only to meet face-to-face with a dog - no scratch that, a wolf.

"Ahhh!! " Her screams reverberated throughout the room as she stood abruptly , faltered, stumbled and fell off the queen-sized bed, while the wolf obviously roused from his sleep by her scream took off.

Lia continued her screams and internal raves, where am I? Why was I in bed with a wolf? What is going on?! what's with situation? where's everyone ? Where's Ben? Ah the party! Wait, the party....

Lia's countenance changed at once. She immediately remembered everything, Caroline's games and tricks, the pain and torture she went through in her hands.

Anger surged through her and without realizing it, her fist began to curl up but someone interrupted her .

"Hi " A guy stuck out his head through the doorway while the rest of his body was hidden outside.

"Hi " Lia responded warily.

"I'm sorry for scaring you earlier, my wolf can be naughty at times " He said scratching his head awkwardly and finally moving out of the shadows.

" Don't worry about...." Lia froze upon realizing what he just said.

Did he just say wolf?

Her eyes widened " You're a werewolf! " She choked.

Lia didn't know how to feel at all. She was feeling a rollercoaster of emotions : shock, confusion, curiosity and excitement .

It was her first time seeing a werewolf in reality and not just a made-up character in some fictional movie but a real breathing werewolf.

Moreover it was also refreshing actually talking to a different creature judging from the fact she's being surrounded by witches and vampires this past weeks.

Also she felt a sort of kinship with him , judging from the fact she was half-vampire and half-werewolf.

"So you're trying to say you're really a werewolf, a real werewolf?!" Lia queried earnestly as if trying to confirm he was not playing a prank on her.

"Of course baby girl, you saw me on the bed moments ago, remember? " He tried to convince her.

Ah yes, how could she forget that grey fur wolf with silver tips , but she blushed scarlet red upon hearing him call her ' Baby girl '.

Lia looked up and couldn't help but check out the guy. Strange enough, he looked oddly familiar but she couldn't exactly put her finger on where she had seen him.

He had this sweet exotic smell , which made Lia's heart stir and her throat to dry up. Why was she feeling this way?

His long voluminous blonde hair provided her with just the right temptation. She felt the burning need to run her hands through that messy silky hair and tousle it to her satisfaction.

The desire was so strong that she had to dig her nails into the inside of her palm to keep herself alert and sober.

She eyed his muscular build.

The guy was handsome, sea blue eyes and sharp, angular features with the right amount of stubbles, giving him a matured and sexy vibe .

He was wearing a simple collared shirt, snug enough to pronounce his physique and left open at the neck revealing a bit of his chest and slacks that hung his lean hips.

Lia's cheek burned when her eyes unknowingly traveled to his crotch and lean thighs and facepalm internally.

Why was she feeling this way? The only person she had ever felt this particular way for was Asher. But why ? Why was this guy's presence overwhelming and tormenting her.

As if fate was playing a crude joke on her, Lia looked up only to discover he was standing right in front of her.

Her breath quickened and she had a hard time breathing. The attraction she felt for this guy was so strong that she fought the urge to place her hands on that firm chest and discover if he was affected the same way she was.

"Daniel " He said stretching forth his hand for a handshake

Lia eyed his hand warily. Should I? Or should I not? she pondered, she was having a bad feeling about this.

" Lia " She finally said and reluctantly accepted the handshake but gasped when electricity course through her hand .

Startled, she jerked her hand back and wondered if he felt that too.

But his face was blank, she couldn't pick up any emotion.

" How did I get here? Why am I here? " Lia asked when an awkward silence began to reign.

"I was the guy who knocked you out before you tore down the whole building " He explained without hesitation.

Lia scowled, rubbing the back of her head as if reliving that moment. If not for her great regeneration ability, she would be nursing a concussion by now. He really struck her hard.

No wonder he looked familiar earlier, he was the guy from her dream.

"You should have let me destroy that mansion, atlest pay that b*tch in her own coin ! " She fumed without thinking.

"And let you trap - possibly kill innocent souls, huh? " He argued.

Lia realized how stupid she sounded. Would she accomplish revenge on the cost of innocent lives? No.

"I'm sorry " She apologized " I spoke without thinking " She bowed her head, embarrassed.

"It's alright, the werewolf gene in you is partially causing you to think that way "

Her head jerked up "How did you know that? " She asked astounded.

" Because I'm your mate "
