A Z R I E L “Alpha, a body has been found in the woods. It was brutally mutilated and unrecognizable.” My fingers tightened around the phone as I read the text from Vikram. I knew who was behind this. Fucking Elijah. I threw the phone across the room, making a cracking sound that someone outside must have probably heard. I was fuming. My body shook with unfiltered rage as I imagined myself strangling Elijah until life died out of his eyes. I've never craved someone else's blood like I did his. The door silently creaked open, making me snap my head towards it's direction. Delilah flinched as soon as she saw my posture but surprisingly she didn't run away like I had expected her to. “Uhm, are you okay?” She asked, her eyebrows crinkling with… worry? I wasn't in the mood for her games this morning. “I'm fine. Go to your room.” I gritted out, dismissing her. “But—” “Just go to your fucking room, Delilah. Do as you're told for once!” She flinched at my tone and immediately left th
D E L I L A HWe were back at the mansion. Azriel got out of the car as soon as it came to a stop and walked into the hours with his shoulders slumped. I immediately rushed after him to see him heading towards the bar. He brought out a bottle of whiskey, sat down on the barstool and began chugging the drink down right from the bottle.“What are you doing?” I asked, walking over to him, hoping he would slow down from how much he was drinking. He didn't even wince as the alcohol burned down his throat. “What does it look like I'm doing?” Well, the grumpy Azriel was back. I walked up to him and snatched the bottle from him, drinking it right from the bottle. The taste burned down my throat but I couldn't seem to stop.Azriel raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Stop it, Delilah. Give it back.” He gritted out.I ignored him. “It's all my fault, you know?” I said, already feeling light headed.“What the fuck are you talking about?” He asked in confusion.“That young guy's death, it–”“No,
D E L I L A H I woke up to a pounding headache. I literally felt like my skull was going to split into two. I let out a groan and attempted to get up from the bed, but my head felt too heavy to carry. I was never going to drink that much again if this was how I'm going to feel every freaking time. I was finally able to get up by palming my head in my hands as I walked towards the bathroom. I got to the cabinets and brought out an aspirin. I popped two into my mouth and chugged it down with water.I checked the clock in the room and my eyes widened in shock. I had slept for that long? It was two in the afternoon, I couldn't believe it.I let out a sigh and began undressing. I needed a warm bath. My muscles felt painful and sore. After peeling off all my clothes, I turned on the warm water and filled the large jacuzzi. I put in a lavender scented bubble soap and finally slipped in.A satisfied moan slipped out front my lips as the water touched my skin. I laid back and placed my head
D E L I L A HThe library is my favorite place in this house. It was a place where I could just drown the world out and have a moment to myself.To just… breath. It's officially two months since I've been brought into this pack. Two months of not living my life the way I wanted. Two months of not seeing my grandmother. Two months of not hearing her sweet voice singing to me as I cooked.God, I missed her so much. I worried for her. Was she eating properly? Was she taking her drugs? Who cooked her meals? They were the questions that continued swimming through my mind.My parents had died when I was only five. I didn't know them much, only heard good things about them. And a few pictures of them. I couldn't even recall any memories with my parents.Grandma Alma had easily filled in the position of both parents in my life from a tender age and I couldn't have it any other way. She had always told me of how much I reminded her of my mother, her daughter because we bore a striking resem
D E L I L A H I just got comfortable in the living room, reading another book I got from the library when the doorbell rang. Carla, who was busy in the kitchen (she always was), I'm starting to think that woman is addicted to cooking. She smiled at me and walked to the door. I could hear her voice and someone else's voice at the door. But I couldn't quite see the person's face. Carla seemed pretty happy to see her. My brows creased as I wondered if it was the woman Azriel was talking about. Finally, a beautiful girl with dark long hair walked into the house with a huge smile on her face and multiple bags in her hands. But I got the shock of my life when she excitedly walked towards me, dropped the bags to the ground and threw me into a hug. Did I mention that she threatened to squeeze the life out of me too? “Omg, you're so much beautiful in person! I can't believe I waited this long to finally meet you!” She squealed after pulling away. I finally got a good look at her feature
D E L I L A HI couldn't recognize the pretty girl that was staring back at me. Sienna had done my makeup and hair so perfectly that I never knew I could look this good.“Damn girl, you totally ate and left no damn crumbs!” Sienna said and I tried so hard to keep a straight face. I had never been complimented by anyone except my grandmother.Hearing this coming from her, made me forget about my insecurities. I couldn't deny that I looked good. It was so obvious.“Thank you, Sienna. This wouldn't have been possible without you.” I said sincerely. I couldn't even recognize myself.“What are you saying? It was all you, girl! You're fine as hell, I just had to add some little touches and boom! Perfecto!” She formed a thumbs up with her thumbs and I laughed at her dramatics.It felt like I had known her all my life but it's only been five hours. “C'mon, I need to get you to your grumpy ass mate. I can already feel his impatience from here.” She rolled her eyes. My heart skipped a beat at
D E L I L A HI could tell Azriel was barely restricting himself from pouncing on Elijah at this moment. His hands balled into fists and his veins threatened to pop as he glared at the vampire leader.“What. the fuck. are you doing here?” Azriel gritted out harshly.Elijah smiled, knowing fully well that he had successfully gotten on his nerves. “Why? My little old friend doesn't want me at his party? The food tastes horrible, by the way. Hire better caterers next time.” He taunted with a smirk on his face.“Is that so?” Azriel asked, his expression changing from furious to amused in a blink. “And you think I would take advice from you? A good for nothing pauper who allowed his company to go bankrupt? In fact, you should be thanking me for saving you from misery.” Azriel suddenly pulled me behind him as he stood face to face with Elijah. The two men squared reached each other, neither of them willing to back down as it would be a sign of weakness. “You know what I think?” Azriel cont
D E L I L A HIt's officially two days of knowing Sienna and I could say I was already in love with her. It was so inevitable.I think the two months I spent here would have been more bearable with her presence. She always made sure to visit me every day. We had our breakfast and lunch together.Was this what having a friend felt like? My grandmother was the only friend I had.Sienna told me about her relationship with Kameron and made me promise not to tell Azriel about it until she was ready. Apparently, they knew they were mates over a year ago when Sienna turned eighteen. There was a huge age gap between them, as Kameron was in his late twenties already.Azriel never approved of any of her relationships, because he felt she was still young and needed his protection. Seriously, what made him so protective of her? There was definitely something Sienna was hiding and hopefully, I would find out soon. I felt like there was more to the story. Someone must have occurred that made Azrie
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
