D E L I L A HAs we arrived at the impressive building that housed Azriel's business empire, my eyes widened in awe. This was the second time I was seeing the building,yet I was always awestruck just like the first time we came here. The architecture was modern and grand, reflecting the power and success that the company represented. The entrance was adorned with a large glass door, and we were greeted by a receptionist with a warm smile.“Good morning, Mr. Marino,” the receptionist greeted Azriel respectfully. Her eyes flickered to me briefly before she continued, “And this must be Miss Delilah. It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.”I smiled warmly at her, appreciating her welcoming demeanor. “Thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you too.”“Is Natalie in yet?” Azriel asked in a deep professional voice that meant he was fully in business mode. “I told her to get me some files and they should be dropped on my desk before I arrive.”The receptionist slowly shook her head. “I'm sorry sir, b
D E L I L A HAzriel's body tensed, and I could feel his hesitation as he processed my question. The silence stretched between us, filled with unspoken words and the weight of the truth that hung in the air. I held my breath, waiting for his response, my heart pounding in my chest.After what felt like an eternity, Azriel let out a heavy sigh, his grip on me loosening slightly. “Yes,” he finally admitted, his voice tinged with regret. “But it was a long time ago, before I even met you, Delilah. It was a mistake, and I swear it meant nothing.”His words hit me like a physical blow, and my entire body went numb. I pulled away from his embrace, my mind racing to process the revelation. The image of Azriel and Natalie together, intimate and entangled, flashed before my eyes, igniting a whirlwind of emotions within me.“Oh…” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, the hurt I felt seeping into my words. Then I laughed despite feeling the exact opposite. “Of course she would hate me, she cl
D E L I L A H “I have a surprise for you.” Azriel announced as he barged into my room. I was standing in front of the mirror, trying to comb out my wet and frizzy hair.Azriel appeared behind me and wrapped his hands around my waist, looking at our reflection through the mirror. “Surprise?” I asked breathlessly as he ran his tongue through the already fading mark on my neck. The bite was still noticeable and would probably never leave. And his scent too.“Get ready, you'll see for yourself.” He says, tapping my ass as he pulls away from me.Now that made me more curious. “Can you at least give me a hint? I'm dying in suspense here.” I grosbed, looking at him with doe eyes.Azriel shook his head with a smirk. “No, that's going to spoil the surprise. Trust me, you'll love it.”“Alright, fine.” I sighed in defeat.“Wear something comfortable. It's only a short drive from here.” He said, taking a seat on my bed.My eyes trailed down his figure, unconsciously biting my lips at his physica
D E L I L A H Azriel was called for an important meeting as soon as we arrived at the pack. Trying to bite down my disappointment, I decided to use the extra time to properly prepare for his 'surprise'. I bit my lips, already feeling embarrassed about what I was about to do. Should I really go through with it? I wanted him. I couldn't deny it anymore. But what if he doesn't want me? What if he was only with me because of what I could offer? Was I making a mistake? I immediately shook my head, clearing out the horrid thoughts. I haven't come this far to back out now. Denying my attraction towards him now was a waste of time and I really hoped he felt the same about me or I would never look at myself the same way again. Thankfully, the house was silent signifying that Carla had gone home. I walked into my closet and began searching for the perfect outfit for tonight. My fingers brushed against various fabrics as I surveyed the lingerie hanging in my closet. My gaze settled on a lacy
D E L I L A HHarsh rays of sunlight hit my face, making me groan. As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized I was alone on the bed. Panic briefly surged through me, wondering where Azriel had gone. But then, I heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom, and relief washed over me. I sat up, pulling the sheets tighter around my body, and waited for him to return.A few moments later, the bathroom door swung open, and Azriel stepped into the room, clad only in a towel wrapped around his waist. Droplets of water glistened on his sculpted chest, and my breath hitched at the sight. Heat flooded my body, desire coursing through my veins, as I took in his chiseled abs and the trail of water trickling down his abdomen.Azriel's eyes locked onto mine, and a mischievous smirk tugged at his lips. He sauntered towards the bed, his wet hair tousled and his body exuding an irresistible magnetism. The towel clung to his hips, emphasizing his masculinity and causing my heart to race in an
D E L I L A HThe next three months passed by in blur. They were the most perfect three months of my life.My relationship with Azriel had gotten stronger over the months and it was getting harder to hide how I truly felt about him. Things have been going smoothly, except the fact that the pack members' pressure for an heir has gotten worse.Was I a bad person for not wanting to cross that phase, not even six months later? I could tell the whole issue was really getting to Azriel even as much as he tried to hide it. I could tell he wanted to bring it up, but he had always respected my decision.Well, not until tonight.Azriel and I have had sex almost every night for the past three months and not even once has he not used protection. I always made sure he did.A moan slipped out from my lips as Azriel sucked on the sensitive part of my neck. I was already naked and ready for him. I needed him now. No foreplay.I think he got the hint as I dug my nails into his hips, grinding my soaki
D E L I L A HAzriel didn't come back last night. I tossed and turned all night, hoping he would walk through the door and curl up next to me, telling me everything was going to be okay.To reassure me that we were going to be fine. But he never did. I dragged myself from the bed, deciding that I wanted to shower in my room today. With everything that happened last night, I didn't want more things that would remind me and being in his room wasn't going to help. I had moved into his room two months ago, well not completely since my clothes and other essentials were still in my room.After taking my shower, I walked down the stairs, wrapping my hoodie tighter on my body. Winter was going to be here in a few days and the weather was freezing already.Coupled with the fact that I have been getting annoying illnesses these past few days. It was probably a reaction from the cold. I have a love/hate relationship with the cold, well the bad part being that it always made me sick. Although, t
A Z R I E LI was suddenly hit with a feeling of nostalgia as I stood yet again in the waiting room of the hospital, hoping for positive news.Delilah was in there right now, battling to stay alive. The truck had hit Delilah's side of the car, causing more damage.Carla only had slight scratches on her body which was being treated. It's been two hours of rushing Delilah into the hospital and not even one doctor is here to ease my worries. “She's going to be fine, Azriel. Delilah is a strong woman if you haven't noticed.” Sienna said, squeezing my shoulders comfortingly.I rubbed a hand over my face in frustration. “Goddess, I hope so. I truly hope so. I don't know what I will do if I ever lose her.” I said, resting my head on my hands.“You love her, don't you?” Sienna said, making me turn to her, her eyes were filled with tears as she smiled.Did I love Delilah? Was this really how love feels? Because I never wanted it to end. I think I fell in love with her from the moment her inno
