Chapter 42It Worked.Lilian.The first thing I felt was panic, then, a warm hand covered mine instantly calming my rising anxiety. Daemon stood tall next to me, his face passive.“I need you to get to safety, Lilian.” He softly commanded and tried taking my hands.I wriggled from his grasp and shook my head, a defiant expression on my face. “What about you? Huh? You would gladly just walk into your death?”“I cannot be killed, Lilian.” He gritted his teeth as he responded, his eyes darkening with an unknown expression. Then, he sighed. “Please, don't make this hard for any of us. You need to get to safety. I'll handle the rest of the issues with Wilder and Oliver.”The fact that Oliver was mentioned strengthened my resolve in staying back. If I did, Oliver would only mock me for the rest of my life. The rest of my life… How come I never thought of how the rest of my life will be?“He is right, you know.” Oliver instantly agreed with Daemon, and my eyes snapped to her lithe figure. “W

Chapter 41The First AttackLilian.The moment his lips touched my nape, Daemon was yanked away from me, and my eyes snapped open.“What are you doing, Daemon?” A furious scowl covered Oliver's heart-shaped face as she held him away from me and scowled at him. “Is it so easy to be seduced by her?”A look of confusion was etched on Daemon's face as he staggered backwards, weakly trying to remove himself from Oliver's grasp. His eyes never left mine throughout the process.When had she even entered the room? Were her footsteps that light, or were we so immersed in ourselves that we didn't hear anything else?“What do you think you're doing, Lilian? Can't you get a grip of yourself?” This time, Oliver's cold eyes turned to my figure and she looked furious. “Hasn't he explained the situation to you? Both of you can't be mated! Why do you still want to consciously destroy his life? You claim you're his mate, but you don't care if his suffering continues just so you can mate with him?!”Pu

Chapter 40I held my breath.Lilian.“It's a two-way thing…” I heard the hushed whisper of her voice. “I can stop your bloodline, while the blood from our mating can save my people…”“Oliver…” His voice was deep and low as well. “What happened to your people?”There was a three-second pause before I heard shuffling on the other end of the door. “You see this mark?” Her voice quivered, “It's a reminder that the days of the sirens are numbered. My people messed with the wrong goddess and this is what we got in return…"“Isn't there any other way…” Daemon's voice was getting irritated and frustrated, I could tell that much, but I hated the fact that I liked the way he sounded towards her.“There is no other way, Daemon…” She tried to explain. “I have checked, read, explored, and I've come to with blanks and the only thing that can save us is our mating blood mixed together.”“Fine…” He said finally. “I'll do it. But before that, do you know how to break a mating bond?”A sharp pain pierc

Chapter 39Not Letting Go.Lilian.Loneliness… That was all I felt at this point. Hailey would not even look at me, Wilder hated me, and I wouldn't even talk to Oliver. And Daemon? His mind was already made up at this point and nothing could change it.I curled into the big bed and threw on the thick covers over my body. What would I do if I got my memories back? Wouldn't that make me feel just worse than I already felt? I shuddered at the thoughts of being a monster that ended the lives of people…“You sold me out…" A heavy voice behind me said, and I was a little startled.I threw open the covers and my eyes met with the expressionless eyes of Kieran Masters.I shrugged. “I didn't have a choice, plus it turns out I was being foolish after all…" I gave him a smile that did not reach my eyes.“I don't care…" He said and I just smiled.Of course, he didn't care. Nobody did. They were all right, and I was the wrong one who made the stupid decisions and did the terrible things without th

Chapter 38The Next Predator.Lilian.The switch.One moment he was hot, and the other moment he was cold… I didn't know when the soft laughter escaped my lips and a tear streamed down my face.“Okay.” I said simply, while they gave me a look of shock at my reaction. “Okay. Let's find out what Kieran Masters is really planning for us.”“Is she okay?” I heard Wilder whisper to Daemon, who still had an expressionless face.I marked him, and I knew he could feel the exact emotions I was feeling.“Where is he going to meet you?” Daemon asked, looking straight towards me and ignoring Wilder's question.“In her room, obviously. Where do you think they've been meeting for the past few days she's been here.” Wilder rolled his eyes as he replied to Daemon.There was a sudden shift in the temperature of the room and something dangerous glinting in Daemon's eyes.His eyes hardened and his jaw clenched. “What did you say?” His voice was strained as spoke. “You were in the same room with another m

Chapter 37Raw Emotions.Lilian. “I can't…" He said slowly, looking away from me. “I can't do this with you right now.”My heart sank as he turned around and left.“What do you mean, Daemon?” I tried so hard to hide the pain in my voice. “You're going to choose Oliver? Is she even supposed to be a choice in the first place?”But Daemon did not turn around to answer, instead, I watched as his figure disappeared through the doorway. Now, it was just Hailey and I left in the room, and a tense silence seemed to engulf us both.“What did she mean?” I turned to face her fully and her face scrunched up in confusion. “Ayana, I mean. Who are you spying on?”“That's none of your business.” She spat out almost immediately, her eyes glowering at me from the distance.“Oh…" I raised my brows in surprise at her reaction. “I think it should begin to matter to you at this point.” There was a glint in my eyes and I could feel my pent-up anger and frustration rising within me.“And why is that?” She g
