A Z R I E LI was quick to catch Delilah as she staggered on her fit, tears streamed down her face as she looked at me softly. “H-how could she? H-how could she do such a thing, Azriel? K-killing her own sister out of jealousy? How wicked can people be?” She placed her arms on my back and cried into my shoulders.I rubbed her back gently, not knowing what to say. I was stunned. How was I supposed to console her for the loss of her parents when I didn't know how to? I tightened my arms around her, running my hands through her soft hair. Sobs wracked through her body, and I could feel the pain in her every breath. I may not have known the exact words to say, but I knew that sometimes actions spoke louder than any speech. I wanted to be there for her, to provide comfort and solace in any way I could.I gently led Delilah to the nearest couch, urging her to sit down. I knelt before her, placing my hands on her rounded belly, feeling the warmth and life inside of her. The baby kicked and
A Z R I E L“One thing. Just one fucking job I gave y'all and you failed yet again!” The guards flinched at my tone of voice.“But Alpha–” With lightning speed, I was in front of him, holding his neck in a death grip. His eyes widened in horror as he tried to struggle from my hold but it was pointless.“This should be the last fucking time you ever interrupt me while I'm talking, I think I've gone too easy on y'all and you suddenly forgot how it used to be around here.” He gasped, his eyes filled with fear and I tightened my grip on his neck before releasing him.His hands protectively wrapped around his neck as he coughed. He backed away from me, falling to his knees. I looked at them passively, my fist clenched. “I think I asked a fucking question,” They moved back a little in fear. “Are y'all fucking deaf?!” I yelled in frustration when I didn't get a response from them. Just as I decided that they were all as good as dead, Nolan decides to step in. He touched my shoulder which I
My blood grew cold as I kicked the door open. The house was a fucking mess. I immediately walked upstairs to our room, but it was empty.The living room was a complete mess, the couch was hanging upside down. The table was shattered to the ground and I could see little drops of blood on the floor. She had clearly struggled. My fists clenched at the thought of her being hurt and the baby… fuck. I searched every nook and cranny of the house but it was empty. I turned to Nolan and Kameron who had just come out of the room, obviously searching for her too. “She's gone…” Nolan whispered quietly, cautiously taking a step closer to me.“Fuck!” I cussed, punching the wall and not even wincing as the pain spread through my wrist. “That bitch took her! That fucking bitch took her!” I yelled, punching the wall repeatedly.I pushed them away from me as they tried to separate me from the wall. “Calm down, Azriel! We're going to get her back!” Kameron yelled, pulling me away. I turned around and
A Z R I E L My head snapped towards him as soon as her name fell out from his lips. “You're kidding, right?” “She's the only option we have right now. I think you need to let go of whatever feud you have with her for now and just focus on the most important thing, which is bringing back your mate.” I shook my head, clenching my fist. “The last thing I need is help from that girl.” I seethed with disdain. “Are you even listening to yourself right now, man?” Nolan interrupted looking at me incredulously. “This is your mate we are talking about here, your fucking pregnant mate! The life of her and the baby are at stake here! Get your head straight man! What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Nolan was a man that rarely raised his voice because he has always been the cool and playful one between Kameron and I, but when he does shout, it means he is more than pissed. I narrowed my eyes at his blatant disrespect but only sighed in response. Fuck, he was right. I hated that everyone wa
A Z R I E LI watched as she walked away as soon as I said the words. I ginned my lips in anger, glaring at Kameron. “I fucking told you she wasn't even going to consider it, not like I need her anyways. Go get me someone else as soon as possible.” I said, running my hands through my face. I couldn't even deny the fact that I felt frustrated at this point.We heard footsteps walking down the steps, making me snap my head up. Andrea walked down the stairs with a laptop in her hands looking at me emotionlessly. She took a seat on the couch, placing the laptop in front of her. She outstretched her hand and cocked a brow, “Well?” I placed the phone on her palm and she immediately got to work. A thought slipped into my head and I decided to voice it out. “Azalea should never know of this.” I warned in a gruff voice.She looked up at me and smirked, “Why? Afraid daddy dearest might have a hand in this?” “I would suggest you watch your fucking tongue before I shut it for you.” “Considerin
D E L I L A H My whole body aches so much. I tried to turn to my side but found that my two hands and legs had been shackled to the bed, making me unable to move or even turn. These people had stripped me of my dignity as a woman. They tore my clothes off, thankfully one of them had the compassion to leave me in my underwear.My baby bump was bared in the air and I tried as much as possible to cover my unborn baby from prying eyes but it was a useless move. No one was going to come to my rescue. I was going to die here along with my child.I didn't sign up for any of this. Was Azriel going to come to my rescue? He barely even knew where I was, how did I expect him to come find me? I was officially doomed and overall scared shitless about what my fate would be. This wasn't just about me but the little life growing inside of me, depending on me for protection when I couldn't even protect myself.Tears rolled down my eyes and slid to my ear. I hated this. I hated that I had to be put i
D E L I L A HWARNING! This chapter contains violence/abusive language and torture that might be sensitive to some readers. Layla leaned closer to me, trailing her cold hands down my arm. “Now think about it dear, don't you think your parents got what they deserved for ruining my life?”I couldn't resist the urge anymore as I snarled at her, “You are a fucking monster who doesn't deserve to be alive! You're so disgusting, cruel and inhumane! You deserve to rot in the deepest pit of hell!” I spat, my heart feeling heavy as I thought about all my parents went through in the hand of this cruel woman. Layla grabbed my jaw, harshly turning me to face her. “I warned you severally to watch your fucking tongue around me. I guess I'll have to fucking take law into my own hands. To be honest, your face sickens me and the thought that you're about to bring one of your mother's lineage into the world makes my blood boil! The only satisfaction I would get right now is killing you!”Her eyes dark
A Z R I E LMy eyes blazed with fury as I took in the horrifying scene before me. My mate, Delilah, was chained to the bed, bloodied and injured, with Layla and Carmen standing over her like malevolent shadows. The room was filled with an aura of darkness and pain, but I remained unyielding, my resolve solidifying.My heart clenched tightly at the sight of her tears filled eyes. She looked drained, exhausted. All signs of light had died in her eyes, replaced with a fallen and hopeless expression.“Let her go, now!” My voice was commanding, resonating with power that made the very air tremble. I stepped forward, my eyes never leaving Layla's face. My wolf, strong and fierce, surged within me, ready to protect what was mine at any cost.Layla's expression shifted from surprise to a wicked grin. “Well, well, well, look who decided to show up. Azriel, the big bad Alpha. You know, I always thought you were weak, letting your emotions control you. But here you are, finally proving me right.
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
