M E L I S S A ONE MONTH LATER A startled scream ripped out of my lips as the door to my room was suddenly jammed open, while I lay on the bed, stark naked. My eyes widened and I immediately covered myself with the sheets but he had already seen it all. Nolan's mouth was dropped open as he looked at me in shock. Fuck, fuck, fuck. He had seen me masturbating. Of course, he just had to come in when I was trying to get myself off. A deep blush crawled up my cheeks as I covered my face with the duvet, praying the ground would just open up and swallow me up. He didn't speak for a while. Instead, his eyes continued to rake over my body, and he had a hungry look in them. “Nolan, you asshole!” I yelled at him, trying to get him out of his stupor. “Why don't you fucking knock?! You could have given me some warning and I would have locked the door!” He didn't even reply, only continuing to stand at the doorway, as though he was stuck in a trance. “Nolan?!” I screamed. Finally, he blink
M E L I S S A I paced back and forth in the room, before stopping to look at her. “Are you sure about this?” She slightly shook her head, wiping her tears. “Well I'm not sure. But there is a possibility that I might be with child. The symptoms are so similar with Kian's. I'm scared, Mel.” My gaze softened and I walked over to her, pulling her into my arms. “It's going to be okay. We aren't exactly sure yet. You're going to have to take a test. Do you have one?” She shook her head no, “I never knew I would have to need one anytime soon. It never crossed my mind.” “Well, considering you guys have sex. Lots of it, I already saw it coming. You guys go at it almost every second of the day.” I joked, trying to lighten up her mood. Delilah scowled, “You're not making me feel better, thanks.” She uttered dryly. I gave her a remorseful look. “I'm sorry, b. C'mon, I think I have two spare pregnancy tests somewhere, do you think you're ready to take it?” She nodded her head, “I have to. I
D E L I L A H I sat down nervously in the bedroom as I heard Azriel's footstep walking up the stairs. A feeling of deja Vu suddenly hit me, remembering my first pregnancy. It was kind of planned then, but this? I wasn't even sure he was ready to be a father for the second time. What if he decides all of this isn't worth it and demands me to get rid of the child? Or worse, breaks up with me? I didn't think I would be able to survive the heartbreak this time. My heart flew into my throat as the doorknob twisted and a second later, the door opened, revealing Azriel in all his glory. His eyes immediately met mine as soon as he walked into the room, I watched as a smile spread across his face as he walked towards me, lowering himself to capture my lips. I didn't hesitate to return the kiss, enjoying the moment, just in case this was going to be our last kiss. “How are you, my love?” He asked tiredly as we pulled away. My heart tingled at the term of endearment, feeling my lips curve
D E L I L A H NINE MONTHS LATER A low groan slipped passed my lips as I felt pain spread through my belly. I sleepily cradled my stomach, turning to my other side to find a more comfortable position. Fucking Braxton Hicks. The baby was kicking up a storm in my stomach while I was trying to get some damn sleep. Azriel, the usual light sleeper that he was immediately woke up at the sound of my groan. He rubbed his hands on the side of my waist, kissing my neck from behind. “Are you okay, baby?” I hummed, sighing as he wrapped his arms around me. “Yes, it's just the stupid mild contractions. But this one seems more intense.” I said with a wince. “Do you think it's time?” He said, his tone worried. I shook my head, trying to ease down his worries. “The doctor said I have one week left before I go into active labor, remember?” I murmured, still feeling very uncomfortable. “But there's a chance she might be coming earlier than we thought.” Yes, we were having a girl. Azriel had been
D E L I L A HThe blaring sound of my alarm made me jump from my bed, accompanied by my grandma's scream for my name.I quickly scrambled from the bed and ran towards the sound of her voice. My vision felt foggy and all I saw was blue, but the alarm in her voice was enough to make me worried.My grandma's health was slowly deteriorating and I couldn't afford anything that would make her sicker than she already was.I walked down the stairs to see my grandma holding a paper in her hands with a shocked expression on her face. Her face was as white as sheet as she read whatever was on the paper. What could have her so worried like this?Hearing my footsteps, Nana Alma's head snapped up towards mine. Her olive green eyes that were so much similar to mine wrinkled with worry. “Lilah dear, can you go get me my glasses? I must surely be seeing things.” She said in a fearful tone that I haven't heard her speak in years. “What's wrong, Nana? Are you okay?” I walked closer to her and held her
D E L I L A HLike they always say, wishes don't always come true. In my case, it never does. Because here I was two weeks later, getting prepared for the breeding ceremony. I could swear that two weeks ago was yesterday. There was a knock on my door, snapping me from my thoughts. “Lilah, are you ready? The ceremony will begin soon, dear.” Nana's voice called out behind the door.Not wanting her to see my tears, I quickly wiped them from my face and applied a touch of makeup. I walked out of my little room and came face to face with a worried-looking Nana.I tried to smile, but I knew she could see right through it, as if my trembling lips hadn't given off exactly how I felt about all of this. “Everything is going to be okay, darling.” Nana said, pulling me into a comforting hug. I leaned more into her touch and couldn't help but feel like this was the last time I would ever get to have her this close to me. “I don't know, Nana. I don't know.” I murmured into her hair. Not even a
D E L I L A H“She looks so small and fragile. He is no good for her. He would kill her.” “I agree,” Another voice said. “He's a monster and she looks so innocent. I just hope she would be able to melt his cold heart.” I woke up with a groan, hoping the voices would stop. And it did. I slowly opened my eyes to take in my surroundings. I was lying on a soft bed in a large, ornately decorated room. I sat up and looked around, taking in the luxurious furnishings and the opulent decorations. Everything was so foreign to me, so far removed from the simple life I had known in my small pack.The door creaked open, it was a woman, a maid by the looks of her, carrying a tray of food.The two other women in the room looked at me strangely before scrambling out of the room like someone was hot on their tails. "Good morning, my lady," the maid said, setting the tray down on the bed. "I hope you slept well."I blinked in confusion. Lady? Why was this woman calling me lady? And what was I even d
D E L I L A HToday made it the second day of my stay at the GoldenCrest Pack and each day that passed made me more miserable and anxious.Here I was, all alone in a strange land. I knew Azriel had assured me that my grandmother was in perfect condition but I couldn't help but be worried. What if something happens to her when no one was around? I knew I had to make a decision. And fast. I couldn't stay here and let him decide my fate. I didn't ask for this and I definitely wasn't going to sit by and allow him use me however he wanted. I got out of my room and walked down the stairs. The interior of the house was jaw dropping, it was literally made of gold. What was Azriel's obsession with gold? His whole house seemed to be covered in them. Perhaps there was something more to it? It just couldn't be because of the fact that his eyes were also made of gold.Or was I really just making a fuse out of nothing?I shook my head and walked further down the stairs. The scent of food immediat
