Chapter 7 - The Risk
I
Lexus approached Daffodil and motioned to her to keep quiet. “Stay quiet and just sit on the bed, I heard a growl outside,” he murmured to her.
Daffodil was stiffened. Fears suddenly engulfed all her senses. She cuts Dixon’s call and sits still as he told her so.
Lightly, Lexus walked near the glass door and locked it gently. He further pulled the curtains to cover the glass door fully. He sat beside Daffodil and strengthened all his senses.
After a while, they heard again that soft growl, somewhat nearby the sliding door. Daffodil’s fear grew more but brave as she is, she tried to overcome what she feels and think about how to protect herself just in case they will be attacked by wolves. She grabbed her bag nearby and got her pepper spray inside.
Lexus furrowed when she saw what she got inside her bag. “Don’t spray perfume; it will ignite more of your smell to the wolves,” he whispered.
Daffodil shook her head. “This is pepper spray, something I can use to defend myself in case we will be attacked by the wolves. I will spray this in their eyes and they will be blind,” she said proudly.
Lexus wanted to laugh but he controlled it, afraid that he might offend her. “Ahh, brave girl. That’s good.” He even caressed her hair and let her lean on his shoulder.
“Hope they will just go away,” she said softly.
“They cannot just easily get inside. Those glass doors are hard to break. Don’t worry,” he whispered back.
They kept their silence for a while, listening for nearby wolves’ growls. For a few more minutes they were just sitting silently on the bed until they noticed footsteps leaving and going away from the glass door.
Lexus looked at Daffodil and voiced out what he was thinking. “Daffodil, you need to let your wolf out. You need to accept her and let her rule you in times of risk. Your wolf will save you from harm.”
“How sure are you that I am a she-wolf?” she asked sternly looking at him.
“Daffodil, I am a werewolf; I can easily distinguish between a pure human and a werewolf like me. You might lie to me in words but I have ways to determine the truth.”
Suddenly, Daffodil remembered the lie she told him.
As if Lexus read her mind, he slowly opened the front of her blouse to her astonishment.
“Goodness, what are you doing?!” she smacked his hands.
“Easy, I will not rape you or what; I just need to confirm something.” Lexus smiled at him naughtily while continuously unbuttoning her black blouse.

Knowing what he is up to, Daffodil stood up and slapped him on his face, pretending to be so angry. “You maniac!” she screamed at him while buttoning her blouse back.
Touching his slapped face, Lexus laughed. “You are indeed a wolf. Calm down Sweetheart; if you are not lying to me, come on; let me see if your bosom has no golden mark.” He challenged her.
“Are you nuts? You are not even my boyfriend and you want to see my breast?” She snarled at him, her eyes were widening with anger.
Then something hit Lexus' mind. He needs her to let her wolf out and the best strategy is to anger her or to frighten her. “If you will not let me see it, I will use force Daffodil just to confirm it, because it is imperative for me to know it, to protect you more!” he said seriously, threatening her.
“Don’t you dare come near me Lexus, I swear I will fight you!” angrily she sneered at him again.
“Then fight me Daffodil!” Lexus then moved and for a second he was already hugging her so tight, that she could not move. He tried to pin her down on the bed but Daffodil fought back. She tried to bite him on his neck.
Lexus laughed. “If you will bite me in my neck, it is as if you are marking me as your mate; I will do the same Daffodil. So, go bite me; open your mouth and let your canines come out.”
All of a sudden, Daffodil stopped and stayed frozen. “I don't have canines. Let me go,” she said as if weary. She tried to push him away.
“No Sweetheart. You have to be honest with me.” He is pinning her now on the bed.
Daffodil thought of a strategy to let him loosen his hug and grip on her. She suddenly kissed him; she tried to make it passionate so that he would lose his senses.
Lexus was starstruck as he felt her lips touch his. He returned her kisses with fervor and passion but his arms are still tightly hugging her. He knew why she kissed him suddenly; she wanted to loosen his guard but he will not satisfy her with that, instead, she will let her crave more of his kisses. Lexus was grinning secretly. He knew that his beautiful mate was trying to strategize to defeat him, but he won't let her. Instead, he will kiss her passionately, he will caress her gently until she felt deeply their mate bond and connection.
Daffodil just realized the mistake she committed when she felt his kisses going so passionately and his hands gently caressing her bosom. Worst, she was being betrayed by her lips when she responded back to him with the same intensity.
Lexus' lips traveled to her neck down to her taut orbs and slowly his right hand moved, unbuttoning her blouse while his tongue grazed her every exposed part when the buttons were removed.
Daffodil moaned as she grabbed his hair, pulling him up and kissing him on his lips again. She needs to stay guarded. He should not see her bosom or else, he will know the truth so easily. She will play along with him.
