A Z R I E LMy heart felt tight as I felt like everything was finally falling into place. Because it was. I looked at Delilah, my expression conveying how I felt. I placed my hand over the one of her belly, already hearing the tiny heartbeat of our little one. “I'm never going anywhere, detka. I promise to be with you every step of the way and hold your hands as we go through this new phase. You have no idea how happy you just made me.” I said, sincerity dripping in my words.Delilah sniffed, tears blurring her eyes as she squeezed my hands. “You make me happy, Azriel. I never realized how sad and boring my life really was until you came into the picture. Though, we didn't meet on good circumstances, you and this baby are the best thing to ever happen to me. I can't think of a future without you in it. I love you, Azriel.”Those words. Those were the words I've been waiting for her to say. Those three forbidden yet powerful words. I know I had heard her confess to them last night duri
A Z R I E LAs soon as the car parked in front of the station, I and the guys immediately made our way inside. The police looked shocked to see us as they looked between each other. Of course, they were humans and they only knew me as the CEO of Marino construction company, but that was also enough to instill fear in them.M-mr. Marino, we weren't expecting you.” One of the officers said with a grin but I couldn't miss the smell of fear radiating off of him. Disgusting.“Where is he?” I seethed impatiently.“Who?” The officer asked, further infuriating me. I reached out and grabbed him by the collar, slamming him to the wall as he stared at me with horror filled eyes. “Don't fucking play dumb with me or I'm going to make you lose your fucking job and make sure you remain jobless for the rest of your miserable life. Don't fucking test me. Where. is. he?”His lips trembled as he tried to fight for air, his eyes darting between the guys and I. “He– he has been granted bail. He left not
D E L I L A HAzriel never told me about how his confrontation with the truck driver went no matter how much I asked. It's been two days since I've been discharged from the hospital and now I'm practically living in Azriel's room. He had ordered for all my clothes and belongings to be brought into his room.I couldn't even walk without him breathing down on my neck about being careful and watching my steps. If I had thought he was controlling before, it has gotten even worse now. A wave of dizziness and nausea suddenly hit me, making me jump from the bed and make a beeline to the toilet where I puked out everything I ate last night. I dry heaved, spitting out the bitter taste of vomit from my mouth as I tried to catch my breath. Azriel rubbed my back soothingly and I couldn't be more grateful. He helped me to my feet as I walked towards the sink and washed my face and my mouth.I stared at my sickly reflection in the mirror. It was as if my morning sickness had gotten worse now that
D E L I L A H “What the fuck are you doing here?” Azriel growled, abruptly standing on his feet, causing the chair to screech loudly. Azalea smirked, shoving his hands into his pocket. “Now, is that a way to greet your beloved parents?” Azriel took a threatening step towards him as I watched the whole scene unfold. “You haven't answered my fucking question. What the fuck are you doing in my house?” “Azriel, son…” The older woman started but Azriel immediately caught her off. He turned to her gritted, “What is this bitch doing here?” He shouted, pointing at the younger girl. “As if still staying with this bastard after he cheated on you isn't enough, you let him bring his bastard daughter into my house?!” The girl in question looked like she wanted to be anywhere but here. She looked so out of place and I almost pitied her. It was all adding up now. Azriel had a stepsister? As if only now noticing my presence, Azriel's father's eyes turned to me and I suddenly felt the urge to s
D E L I L A H It was getting pretty late and Sienna was getting ready to leave. The rest of the day was spent in awkward silence except the occasional questions at Sienna who barely gave her answers. Without thinking, I said, “Why don't you all stay here? I mean that if you don't want to stay in the pack house, we have spare bedrooms that you could stay in.” I suggested and Sienna narrowed her eyes at me, trying to discreetly shake at head. “No dear, Azriel wouldn't like that–” Ravenna started but I cut her off softly. “I'm sure Azriel wouldn't mind. This house is big enough for all of us.” Ravenna's mouth split into a warm smile. “If you insist, dear. Thank you.” I smiled in return, turning to Sienna. “Will you stay too?” I asked, my eyes pleading. But she shook her head. “I'll pass.” Her voice was loud of emotions and suddenly I could see hints of Azriel's traits in her. Sienna might be playful and appear too jovial, but she definitely has a dark side no one knows about. Just
D E L I L A HToday is going to be my first doctor's appointment at the pack's hospital. Azriel was supposed to go with me but I haven't seen him since last night.I tried swallowing the pang of sadness I felt at the thought of hearing our baby's first heartbeat without him. I walked into the kitchen to find Carla and Ravenna talking with smiles on their faces. When they caught sight of me, they immediately called me over.I sat next to Ravenna with a smile. “Good morning.”She smiled back but looked at me worriedly. “Morning dear. Are you okay? I heard Azriel yelling last night and I thought–” Was his voice that loud? I I didn't want her to know that her son and I had a fight because of her. She already felt bad enough as it is.“Uhm, yeah. We just had a little misunderstanding.” Carla looked at me worriedly, knowing I was probably lying.Ravenna smiled sadly. “Was it because of me?” She asked, placing her warm hand on mine. “Delilah, I don't want you both fighting because of me. Y
D E L I L A HAzriel had to go to the pack house, so we drove there right from the hospital. I was so not looking forward to seeing Azalea and as if Azriel could read my thoughts, he glanced at me.“I'm never going to let him hurt you, you know that right?” He asked, squeezing my hand.“But why does he hate me? What did he mean when he said I'd be tossed away after I give you an heir. Is that really what's going to happen?” I tried to hide the fear in my voice but I failed woefully.“Azalea hates everyone,” Azriel admitted with gritted teeth. “And do you really believe I would do that to you?”I turned away, looking out the window. “After last night, I don't even know what to think anymore. You suddenly doubt my love for you and call me a liar when you know very well how I feel about you.”Guilt clouded Azriel's eyes. “Last night was a moment of weakness, Delilah. I was just so hurt that you would invite people into my house without my consent.”“But they aren't just anybody, they are
D E L I L A HI couldn't let Sienna see me in my current state. She would figure out something was wrong and probably force answers out of me. So I got out of the room when I looked more presentable and decided to look for Azriel. I knew I couldn't tell him what just happened. That hiscfatger had threatened to kill me if I didn't leave him after the baby was born. My grandmother's life was still at stake here.I needed to thread carefully or I was going to get into a big mess which I couldn't afford. “Delilah?” Azriel's voice cut me out of my thoughts as I found him walking towards me in worry. When he stood in front of me, he cupped my cheeks as he delicately stared into my eyes. “Are you okay?”I shook my head, scrunching my eyebrows in a fake stressed expression. “I just– I don't feel too good. My whole body hurts and I feel like I'm going to be sick.” My heart twisted in pain as I lied through my teeth, hoping he would buy it.And he did. “Fuck.” He cussed, raking his hands thro
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 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
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
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
D E L I L A H Azriel slid his wet tongue down my back and made his way to my butt cheeks. I bit my lower lip, making a whimper. He pushed his crotch against my thigh, grinding me from behind. I reached out behind me and grabbed his balls and began playing with them. “I'm so fucking hard right now,” he whispered in my ear. I felt a pool of juices between my legs. “Fuck me, Azriel. Stop torturing me already, I've waited so long for this.” I moaned and it almost came out like a groan of frustration. He pulled my hair back, licking, sucking and biting my neck, and I moaned even louder from the sensation. I felt my nipples getting hard and my clit throbbing. His cock was so big and hard, I couldn't wait for it to be inside of me. It has only been a week since he fucked me and it felt like I had been sex starved for years. "Put your hands on my back,” He demanded and I eagerly did as he said. He reached down, feeling the wetness between my legs, and started rubbing my clit. I couldn't h
D E L I L A HThe next morning, I woke up tangled with the people I cherished the most in the whole world. Azriel and I were sleeping on the opposite sides of the bed, while Kian is sandwiched between the both of us, peacefully nestling in our arms. It was a sight I looked forward to everyday.A smile slipped out of my lips as I gazed at the two most important boys in my life. I hadn't realized Kian and Azriel's uncanny resemblance until now. They had the same sleeping position, the same little snores and it was practically as if Azriel's entire face was plastered on his. A mini Azriel. My mini Azriel.I lightly placed my hands on Kian's body, trying to feel his temperature and I breathed out a sigh of relief as his temperature was a lot better than yesterday's.I slowly placed loud kisses on his stomach and nose, watching in amusement as he stirred awake. As soon as his eyes was fully open, he gave me a breathtaking smile revealing his perfect little teeth. “Good morning, Mommy.” He
D E L I L A H It's been two hours since Azriel left after the wedding and ill have to admit that I was a nervous wreck. I clasped my trembling fingers together, trying to wear off my nervousness. “You need to stop worrying, Lilah. I'm sure they'll be back soon.” Melissa said, trying to sound comforting but I wasn't having it. “Stop worrying? How the fuck will I stop worrying when my son and husband are potentially in harm's way? What if something goes terribly wrong and I lose both of them at the same time? I don't think I can calm down until I know they're completely fine, Mel. I just can't.” I said, shaking my head. Melissa sighed, walking to my front. She held my shoulders forcing me to face her. “Look at me, Lilah. You need to stay positive. Thinking like this will bring nothing but fear in you and crippling anxiety.” I tried to take Melissa's words to heart, but my mind was still racing with worry. The thought of something happening to Azriel or our son was unbearable. I took
“WHAT?!” Melissa and Sienna exclaimed ad I broke the news to them. But one had a different expression from the other. While Melissa looked absolutely horrified, Sienna looked elated by the news. “Please tell me you agreed!” Sienna squealed, reminding me of childish her five years ago. She looked too overjoyed about this and I couldn't help but smile. “I did,” I said in a small shy voice and I heard Sienna squeal as she jumped over to me. “Yes!” You have no idea how much I've waited for this moment. To see my brother finally getting married. Not just to anyone, but to the woman of his dreams. I'm so happy for you, Lilah.” She said excitedly and we both turned to Melissa who was pouting. “What's wrong, Mel?” I asked nervously. If she wasn't happy about this then it was going to be a problem. “I always imagined your wedding to be something huge and planned, not rushed. And definitely not now. Let's set all the jokes aside, Lilah. Do you think you're ready for this? To be a wife?” I
D E L I L A H “Fancy meeting you again, Delilah.” I turned around to come face to face with Andrea. I thought she had left with the others, I had insisted on going with them but Azriel pointed out that it wasn't right for me to go out yet. Considering the fact that I didn't know if I would stay here permanently, I think he had a point. “I think you're not really happy about my arrival, Andrea. Your expression already gave it away.” I responded to her. Andrea's attitude hasn't changed one bit, she was still as she was five years ago, if not worse. “What do you want me to do? Jump and be ecstatic about you coming back? After the horrible things you did to my brother? To think I was beginning to like you.” She spat in distaste, glaring at me. “Since when did you start caring about your brother? Last I recall, you absolutely hated his guts and wanted nothing to do with him.” I knew I was being petty but I couldn't help but be defensive. “But you did worse than I'd ever do to him. Yo
