Daniel was right, running in her wolf form was luxuriating and quite a thrill for Lolli who enjoyed every bit of the freedom.

The wolf had been cooped up most of the time in Little Town which resulted in her being furious and hormonal. leaving her with no choice than to have her version of fun with her mates - Asher to be precise.

After the fight between Dan and Ryan, the pack was unusually quiet tonight. Dan didn't come for dinner and no one knew where in the world he was but none bothered to search for him - he was a capable vampire so he could take care of himself.

Daniel didn't join the students for dinner either and it was clear everyone had hoped for his appearance.

But what Lia couldn't understand was the constant glare Caroline threw her way during dinner.

It wasn't surprising that Caroline glared- she always does it whenever they meet - but tonight's glower was intense and excessive as if she had caught Lia stealing from her.

She even went ahead to put both fingers into her eye, gesturing she has her eye on her.

Lia couldn't help but wonder if Caroline had found anything on her that made her cocky. Anyways, that little pest was the least of her problems.

"He's behind us" She heard Lollis' voice in her head which made her pound her paws into the dirt as she ran faster.

But the thudding of footsteps from behind told her he was catching up to her; she wasn't going to lose to him this time.

She and Daniel were having a run in the woods and so far she had been gaining the upper hand until now.

Her mate had ceremoniously given her a five minutes headstart in the race but as the experienced wolf he was, Daniel was catching up to her.

"Faster!" She urged Lolli who pounded along quickly. The wolf was now the one in control since both were in her form.

"I can't hear him, think we lost him?" Lia asked her wolf.

"Probab - don't think so" Lolli was the first to notice him but it was late, Daniel tackled them.

She snapped her jaw at Daniel in the process but Iyke was the one in control and enjoyed every bit of it as he subdued her.

Lolli had always been a dominant wolf and took it as an insult, but there was no way she could move out of his hold so she had no choice but to submit.

Lia bet Daniel was cocking a silly grin at his victory but Lolli was pissed off. As soon as Iyke released her, she made a sound that looked like an annoyed snort and walked away.

Lolli swished her tail at his face then moved away to lower her belly on the ground while Iyke stood confused, what has he done this time?

He approached her and lowered himself down by her side but she didn't pay him any attention. Iyke stood up and walked the other way around for her attention however she turned the other way.

In the end, Iyke ended up going around her in circles to grab her interest but Lolli simply exhaled noisily through her nose and shut her eyes.

Iyke discovered he couldn't work out this one and let in Daniel who then took control and lay down beside her. She didn't acknowledge him and kept up with her sleep pretense.

Lia tried her best to cajole Lolli to forgive him but the wolf didn't listen neither did she give her control, which made her contemplate taking it by force but decided against it when she remembered their relationship just bloomed.

Daniel simply rubbed his body against her affectionately and his tactics seemed to work cause she peeled her eyes open. Then he went ahead to lick her furs and scratch her belly eliciting a purr from her.

Lollis' heart was melted instantly causing Lia to take over with that opportunity.

It was quite stupid yet fun as she and Daniel chased and played with one another until she picked up a strange smell in the air.

"Lia, wait " Daniel who stiffened when he caught the unfamiliar scent encroaching on his territory was yet to warn his mate to stay back when she zoomed past him.

His ears perked up and his nose sniffed the air while going after his mate while trying to ascertain the location of the intruder.

Daniel stopped short when he saw Lia taking on a wolf larger than her. They snapped and growled at each other while avoiding lethal attacks from both sides.

Daniel hurriedly stepped in, defending his mate and attacking the strange wolf head-on.

Lia watched carefully as both wolves fought - grey against black - and both were almost of the size. She waited for her opportunity to launch a deadly move when they unexpectedly stopped fighting.

They circled each other, gauging their moves and intentions until the intruder stopped and shifted into his human form.

Daniel, who guessed his intentions, moved and blocked his mate's view- her eyes were too holy to behold that scene.

He too quickly shifted but he carried a small bag which was draped over his body during the run and changed into his clothes at once.

Lia turned away, blushing furiously- she had taken in the sight of her mate's well-endowed packages.

"Alpha Tristan," Daniel said, obviously displeased, "What's the meaning of this disturbance?"

"I apologize for any inconvenience," Tristan apologized, his eyes fixed on the wolf being covered by Daniel.

Meanwhile, Lia who had turned back around was getting increasingly annoyed by Daniel's protective measure.

Curiosity finally got the best of her because she moved forward and peeked out from behind her mate's body.

"Holy motherfucker! " Lia cursed out loud however, she was in her wolf form so it came out as a bark.

Unfortunately for her, both males perfectly understood what she said- wolf form or not.

Lia wasn't expecting that, she expected Tristan to have dressed up already, who knew the werewolf was as naked as the day he first came to earth.

And his ding-a-ling was extra- large! That was what made her curse out loud- she had seen the unseeable, holy water wouldn't be able to cleanse out this one!

Even Lolli blushed and was stunned.

Daniel frowned, he didn't like the attention this alpha was gaining from his mate.

He growled at Tristan warningly,

"Why are you here?"

"I came to get my pack member?"

Daniel's brows furrowed in confusion, "Pack member? I'm sorry but none of your people are here. I sent them back "

Tristan shook his head," I'm not talking about those two fools, I'm referring to her" he pointed to Lia.

The shock alone had his mate shifting into her human form, exposing her naked glory to both of them which made Daniel bare his teeth at Tristan who had his eyes glued on her.

Daniel quickly took her into his arms, doing his best to shield her body from his lewd gaze.

He glared at the alpha over his shoulder saying, "I swear to God if you're talking rubbish, I'll snap your neck into - "

"I was the wolf who turned her. I'm her sire "

-----------------------

This was incredibly fun, Ozark realized. Pretending to be a witch while going at it with a fellow witch, awesome! It was not bad mimicking Sabrina unlike his brother Mark who had been in a grim mood since today.

He would have delved into what was bothering him but he had an important role in keeping up with Sabrina's identity.

And that was what he had been doing when this witch came to his doorstep. Turns out the blonde came from a sister coven and had felt an urge to check up on her.

Luckily for him, she swings both ways. So here they were on Sabrina's bed - to be specific - taking care of each other.

Dan had teleported back to little town, he would have gone to check on Asher but he knew how stubborn that vampire was.

The vampire would be mad at him for leaving his mate's side unprotected and right now, Dan was in no mood to take anyone's bullshit.

So his alternative was his girlfriend's, Sabrina. He missed her and she was the only one capable of calming him down right now.

Without her powers to guide her, Sabrina now disliked sneak surprises but he had no choice.

Dan arrived in her short and narrow passage, ready to open the door to her bedroom when he heard amorous moans.

His expression twisted into an ugly one, he didn't want to acknowledge what he was hearing- no, he had to confirm with his eyes.

He opened the door, lo and behold, it was as he thought, his girlfriend was cheating on him with a fellow girl.

Ozark was so distracted he didn't notice someone's presence until the door was opened.

He was startled, not because he was caught cheating, no scratch that, Sabrina was caught cheating, but because it was Dan standing right in front of him - wasn't he supposed to be in Kinney village.

Dan was speechless, his eyes staring into Sabrina's who was equally stunned as well.

His hand let go of the doorknob, he left.

Ozark's lips tilted to the side, it was better if they got rid of him this way.
