Her stomach did a double flip, her wolf was in a frenzy, Lia couldn't understand why she was being this way - like a sex-starved maniac.

Suddenly, there was an excited scream from the females in that room as they took in the look of the long-awaited chief - he was much more handsome than they thought.

While their principal Asher looked like he was carved by the heavenly entities, Daniel's beauty was relatable but on a higher level, unlike Asher who looked surreal.

Lia realized he had put a lot of effort into dressing up today. His once long blonde hair had been cut and styled; there were even fades on the sides while the rest formed a heap of hair on the top of his head.

She would miss threading her hand down his nape but this new hairstyle was god-damned sexy, it took her everything not to slam him against the wall and kiss the life out of him in front of everybody.

God, Lia held her hair in a tight grasp mentally, she was slowly going bananas - if only her mom knew her once innocent eighteen-year-old daughter was constantly becoming as horny as a red deer.

This was crazy.

Their deaf inducing shrieks attracted the rest of the students from the other rooms who joined them in the fun save the male who just stared on with curiosity and envy.

"He's more handsome than I thought!"

"Where has he been all my life "

Dan was not interested in their lustful admiration, he just had to confirm that Asher's sugar plum was okay before leaving with a sigh - Daniel could now handle his hormonal mate.

Both were crazy, he thought. He wondered how Asher could live with this rotational sharing of his mate cause he wouldn't be able to; his woman was his and for him alone.

Eric observed the expression on Dan's face, it seems he wasn't on good terms with this Chief. What was their relationship? Was this unfamiliar man a supernatural too?

"Alright kids, give the chief a breathing space" The teacher ushered them back to their room with a promise, "You'd still get to see him during dinner shortly "

Thanks to that, they dispersed but not without hanging onto the doors and peeping out.

"Hi "

Daniel's brow shot up when he saw the unfamiliar blonde fix him with a bold look with her hands outstretched for a handshake which he accepted.

"Do I know you?" He pointed to his chest.

She laughed coyly and tucked her hair behind her ears, "I'm Caroline Garcia, you visited my home once for an appointment with my father"

"Oh, Garcia's " Daniel mumbled, no wonder she approached him casually but he had to be cautious the way he associated with her, his mate was about to explode.

Caroline, Caroline, Caroline! The girl was getting on her nerves, Lia fumed inwardly.

It seems she has to take care of this girl too, but from where should she begin? Her eyes or her cheeks? Both places seem to be a good start.

Lia had just taken a step towards her when an arm wrapped around her shoulder, holding her back.

She would have fought back but this grip strangely made her weak; electricity coursed through her veins and butterflies in her stomach - she liked it.

Daniel knew werewolves were hormonal creatures and jealousy was just one of their everyday normal traits.

Male Alphas were extremely possessive but when a female gets jealous, things get messy especially with a werewolf with no control over her wolf.

His mate had just made a move when he flung his arm around her shoulder and pulled her to his side.

"I know your aunt" He continued with the script from earlier in order not to draw suspicion, "Why is she not settled with the others?"

Their teacher who the question was directed at spoke up briskly "There seems to be a mistake with the arrangements, we need an extra bed"

"We don't have such beds anymore but there's a spare room, she could have that one "

"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Fine, come along love" Daniel began to lead her away much to everyone's surprise and confusion.

"But wait !" Caroline protested and was about to go after them when Daniel's men blocked her path.

"You're not authorized to leave your room yet, Alp- " The other guard cleared his throat interrupting and reminding him of the mistake he almost committed.

"Chief's order " He corrected himself and stood firm with his head held high and a fierce gaze.

Caroline rolled her eyes internally, of course, who were they fooling? She knew Daniel was a werewolf but it's been months since she last saw him and right now, he looked so hot and irresistible.

But that witch called Lia acted faster than she thought - that girl was her nemesis. She was always there to snatch whatever she wanted, in fact ever since that girl appeared in her life, things hadn't been going her way.

Asher called off his arrangements with her; Alexa's dead and evidence points to Lia as the suspect but nobody is doing anything; she showed some interest in the new boy Eric but he seems obsessed with that Lia instead; caroline finally decided to set her sight on Daniel yet that witch still snatched him away before she could even hook her claws on him.What more would she take from her? Her life? Money?

Fine, she would not give up this time - no retreat, no surrender - she would see this war to the end.

Lia gave Daniel the silent treatment as he led her to God knows where. But as soon as they were behind closed doors, she pushed him up against the wall - just as she imagined earlier.

"I hate you! " She spat at him with anger yet gripped his hair and ground her lips against his harshly.

Daniel was stunned by the urgency and intensity in her kisses, was she that angry? It was only a handshake.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have accepted that handshake " He resorted to an apology to calm her down.

"Save that for later," She told him and recaptured his lips, wrapping her arms around his waist just as he hoisted her up.

"I missed you " He murmured against her ears.

"Is that why you hung around other girls just to preoccupy your thoughts?! " She accused him with fire in her eyes.

The corners of his mouth quirked,

"No, I didn't do such a thing "

"Liar! I heard everything on the bus. Apparently, you've been baring your chest a lot here "

"Lia, this is a werewolf community, going bare is one of the many, many things we do here" He tried to make her understand.

Daniel knew his mate was jealous but he didn't find it irritating at all instead he loved it. You could only feel jealous for someone you have strong feelings for, right?

"The females look at you, don't they?" She continued.

"Yes they do " he answered her truthfully and added, "But they don't - can't touch me. I'm yours to touch and look at as much as you like; do you want to touch me, Lia? " Daniel asked her, placing her hand on his chest.

He watched her gulp, her eyes alternating between magenta and yellow - she was having an internal fight with her wolf.

Her grip on his clothes tightened as she fought for control, it seems her condition was more serious than he thought.

"Where's my room?"

Her eyes assumed her normal magenta, she won.

"What room?" Daniel asked her smugly, "You're sharing a room with me"

He carried her off her feet without warning, drawing a startled squeak from her mouth. Walking across his room, to the direction of his bed, he placed her gently on it.

Daniel took his position behind her as he wrapped his arms around her waist with his nose buried in the crook of her neck, inhaling her limited scent.

"I don't understand, you did all these just so I could share a room with you? " she asked surprised.

Daniel sighed and turned her towards him, "Normally I wouldn't go through the trouble, but for those teenage humans not to misunderstood and cause trouble for you, I have to try this approach "

"They can't do anything to me "

"Yeah, but our mentality differs from the humans and just because you're strong physically, doesn't mean you can't land yourself in other troubles."

"Fine, whatever" Lia snuggled further against his chest contentedly

"You're free to take a short nap, dinner will be served an hour later "

"Wake me up when it's time" She yawned with her eyes closed.

"Alright " He assured her just as she slept off.

Daniel ran his hands tenderly through her hair, his gaze fixed entirely on her. He couldn't help but wonder if this was what his father felt for his mother; the strong urge to protect and keep her by his side forever.

But he was scared, he had promised the girl that he would respect her decision if she doesn't choose him as her mate. But lately, he has been finding that decision hard to fulfill.

How was he going to live without her? It was impossible.
