D E L I L A HI slowly opened my eyes, feeling a dull ache pulsating through my head. As my vision adjusted to the light, I found herself in an unfamiliar hospital room with sterile white walls. The air felt heavy with the scent of antiseptic, and the distant sounds of beeping machines echoed through the sterile environment. Confusion washed over me, and I couldn't help but wonder how I had ended up in a hospital.My memory was foggy, as if a thick veil had been draped over my thoughts. I tried to recall the events leading up to me being in the hospital room, but all I could summon were fragments, like scattered puzzle pieces waiting to be arranged.I lifted a trembling hand to touch my forehead, only to feel a bandage wrapped tightly around my head. A dull throb emanated from beneath it, a reminder of some kind of injury. What had happened? How had I sustained such an injury?It was only them I noticed the mop of black hair on the bed. I could already tell who it was before I even sa
D E L I L A HAfter staying at the hospital for two more days, I was finally discharged from the hospital. It felt nice to finally leave the boring white walls of the hospital and finally get to eat good food.The hospital's food always tasted bland and tasteless. It's been two days since I've seen Azriel and I really wanted it that way. Seeing him would remind me of all I went through because of him. Now he has a crazy ex wanting to kill me just so she could have him all to herself. I still couldn't believe Carmen would stoop so low and plan with her sister to try and kill me.Was her obsession for Azriel so much that she would go to any lengths to get me out of the picture? I never wanted to be in the picture in the first place. Who knows what more she could do after pulling this stunt?The realization suddenly hit me that I could have died. Hell, from how hard I had hit my head on the tree, I doubted I would have survived. I could have died because of him. My grandmother was proba
D E L I L A HI have always known myself to be a coward and today was no different. Because as soon as Azriel stood from between my legs, I ran out of the room like a fucking coward. I immediately shut the door to my room and slid down to the floor, trying to catch my breath. Oh god, what have I done?I was startled by the sudden knock on the door and after that came Azriel's voice. “Delilah, open the door.” He ordered softly, his voice filled with… conflict? “Did I do something wrong? Because I don't understand why you would run off after what just happened.”“Please go away, Azriel.” I said with a small voice. “I'm not going anywhere until you at least give me an explanation. I thought we were getting somewhere…”I cut him off before he could finish that sentence. “That's the problem, Azriel! We are not getting anywhere! We are never getting anywhere, can't you see?” As if my previous words didn't have any effect on him, he spoke. “Open the damn door or I swear I will break it do
D E L I L A H“Okay, I can't keep this in anymore. What's up with you?! You've been smiling like a hormonal teenager who just had her first kiss all morning! Now spill!” Delilah demanded, looking a little too excited. “I didn't know smiling has now become a sin, Sienna.” I said, trying to fight back my smile. “I know you just don't go around smiling for no reason.” She said, rolling her eyes. “Are you going to tell me or do I have to force it out of you?” Her eyes held a mischievous glint and I knew she was up to no good.“Okay, fine.” I grumbled. “It's Azriel.” I finally said.Her eyes widened in shock as she stared at me suspiciously. “Omg, I said it! You guys finally had sex, didn't you? I knew that conversation was definitely going to turn into something more.” Shs said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.My eyes widened in horror at her assumptions and my face immediately grew hot. Yes, we didn't have sex but we still did something more. But was I really going to tell his sist
D E L I L A HI looked towards Azriel's office door for the third time tonight. It's been three hours since he went inside there and Sienna had even gone back to the pack house. Yet, Azriel wasn't out.What the hell could he still be doing in there? Gods, I sounded needy. I made myself more comfortable inside the sarm blankets as I continued watching my movie, alone. A few minutes later, the door to the office finally opened, but I didn't move my face from the TV. I could hear their voices as they walked down the stairs, the only light on the living room was from the TV. The living was dimmed so I couldn't really make out their faces.But the sound of the TV and probably my scent would make Azriel realize that I had been stupidly waiting for him. Ughhh.The door shut close as Nolan and Kameron left the house, I heard a click of the lock and footsteps walking towards me. I stared at the TV, refusing to give him a glance.Azriel sat down beside me on the couch and kissed my neck. “Are
A Z R I E LI took a step away from her feeling like my heart was going to rip out from my chest. I couldn't bear that look she was giving me. The look of fear. I frightened her. My own mate was frightened of me. “Lilah…” I said, reaching my hands out to her but a hand stopped me.I turned to send a glare at Nolan as he silently shook his head. “Let her be, bro. You scared her, she needs time to come to terms with this… side of you.” He said, nodding towards the bloodied mess on the floor.I nodded my head stiffly, moving away from her. Nolan walked towards her and whispered something into her ear. She nodded her head shakily, looking at me cautiously before walking up the stairs to her room.How could I have let myself lose control in front of her? She just had to see me in my not so nice state. The image of her horrified state was stuck in my head like glue. “How could you have let her see that, man? She looked like she was going to faint any minute. You seriously need to learn se
A Z R I E LMy expression immediately turned sour as soon as a guard came to inform me that the Pack's elder council requested a meeting with me and we're currently waiting in the meeting room.I definitely did not want to attend that meeting because I knew what it entailed and I wasn't ready for that conversation. Knowing I had no other choice, I left the house and walked to the pack house. I entered the meeting room a few minutes later and was greeted by unpleasant faces.“Alpha Azriel, nice of you to finally join us after we sent an invitation an hour ago.” Luke, one of the old pack members and my father's old friend said with a wicked smirk. I had always hated his guts, more because of his relationship with my father.He was there. Encouraging the bastard to torture his son. In his words 'preparing him for his Alpha duties.' I studied all of them, my face cold and emotionless. I finally turned back to Luke, “One hour is not enough time for me to think if I want to have a meeting
D E L I L A H The sound of the front door slamming close snapped my attention from the TV as I looked at a furious Azriel storming in. He didn't even acknowledge my presence and passed by without a word, and took the stairs two at a time. Without thinking, I ran after him wanting to know what had gotten him so worked up. I opened the door to his room and realized this was my first time entering his room. His room screamed darkness, the curtains were dark and pulled close. His bed frame was golden and a huge king sized bed was in the middle of the room. His room was spacious and screamed all the personalities Azriel possessed. “What are you doing in here?” Azriel's voice spoke behind me, startling me. I turned, coming face to face with him. His eyes didn't hold the usual warmth I was starting to get used to. They were replaced with that cold gaze that I hated seeing in his expression. “I… I came to see if you were okay. You didn't look too good when you came into the house so I t
