Weeks pass by since the accident and since then I haven’t set foot close enough to the men’s quarters completely avoiding the training grounds and every other place Ivan would be in.Call me a coward but I just can’t face him again and go through all that.It took a while for me to accept it but it truly isn’t anyone’s fault, and if it’s all come to an end then I would accept it wholly.It’s only left for Ivan to realize the very same thing I guess.Instead I’ve busied myself with other occupying matters like the fact that there’s a ceremony were the alpha introduces the Luna to the pack members formally.It’s a small tradition observed by every Alpha that has ever taken up the mantle of power in the history of Deathstone.I’d essentially have to dress up in a lavish red dress with a veil that will be removed by Kain in the presence of all pack members for their acceptance before the official title is given.Despite Kain’s speech about not caring what everyone else thinks I can’t help
The blade slashes through the sleeves of the dress before I realize what’s going on and I just barely dodge the hit gaining a new scar on my wrist.The pauses breathing heavily and string at me with bulging wolf eyes.“I’m going to take what is rightfully mine one way or another!” She screams“what the fuck is wrong with you!”She’s gone completely insane, risking her own life by attack me but she doesn’t care about the consequences.She lunges at me again swinging her knife frantically.I dosge the next swipe of her dagger again, not wanting to hit her yet. Maybe I can talk some sense into her before it’s too late.“You don’t need to do this Yvonne. If I get hurt Kain isn’t going to let this go.”She growls at me ferally.“Then I’m going to make sure both of us don’t make it past today. You don’t get it Lilith, if I can’t have him no one else can, no one else deserves to be by his side!” She screams running at me again.I doge her next hit and the next, but before I can dodge the nex
Lilith’s POV.Kain steps onto the stage first.The crowd roars with excitement the moment he comes into their view clapping and cheering crazily. Their pride in their gruesome but wise alpha can easily be seen in the moment.The pack where I come from love Arden but he had never received such high level of reverence like this before and seeing Kain receive it so easily brings a comforting warmth into my heart.A feeling of a woman’s pride in her mates capabilities.His praise is mine indirectly and my wolf agrees.The cheering comes to a halt the second he raises his hands to stop them.Then he clears his throat to speak.“I’m sure you’ve all been patiently awaiting the arrival of your Luna. While at some point I had completely cancelled the idea of having one from my mind. Recently I’ve come to rethink the matter more closely.”He speaks its dawn on me that he’s about to present me to everyone else.I adjust my dress as if there’s a need to and pat at my hair pinned up just to be su
Every single moment where it seemed as thou I could finally experience true happiness, the feeling of love and acceptance he managed to reveal himself like a disease that only came in seasons.Even now, with this moment’s victory half lived, he’s come to take even more from me.It’s no I realize that he’s always been watching, always been standing over me like a monitoring hawk.For the first time I ask myself if the mission really was to watch Kain, or perhaps something else, something more sinister.“Lilith” Kain calls my name and I finally pry my eyes away from the spot he had been standing in forcing a soft smile.“Are you okay?” he asks not buying it.I bet he had felt that momentary crippling fear, not as struggling as I felt it but close enough.“I-I am just nervous. Maybe I need some time to myself.” I offer.He looks at me for a while gauging my reaction but eventually gives into my request with a kiss on my forehead.“Don’t stray too far.” He whispers.I nod, dashing down th
I stay in place for what feel like hours with nothing left to do than wallow in my own sadness before I get up on feet finally to leave.The sun is starting to get down and kin might already be worried.I wobble through the trees feeling too numb and lifeless to make it fast enough or double my pace because what is the point.I’d still have to face Kain and find some way to pretend to be happy, deceive the mate bond by deceiving myself as well but that’s almost impossible.So I walk slower to figure out something before I have to face Kain again.But in the process I forget the extent of Kain’s concern for me because in the next second I look up feeling that familiar sensation tickling my senses and come face to face with Kain.We pause for a moment holding each other’s gaze.Fuck…I haven’t figured how to hide all this yet. What am I going to do the second he sniffs out my despair? I can’t tell him because I know what Kain would do.“I was worried. You went too far from me and you had
The dress intricately woven with expensive silk and jewels comes undone under the force of Kain’s grip under mere seconds.He rips through every bit of the fabric holding him back, standing as a barrier between him and I, until I’m left completely bare in front of him.He takes his time to use his eyes and ravish me completely; staring up my thighs until his eyes meets mine.“You’re beautiful.” He whispers.But I dot need to hear any of that, not now. Today I want to be lost only in the pleasure only he, my mate can offer me.I lean closer to his lips kissing him again.He takes the initiative easily enough and kisses back with much more vigor than mine.His lips devour mine hungrily while a finger slides into my panties and dives right into my core. His fingers curve expertly, rubbing at my g-spot.I moan against his lips, pressing my hips against him to grind on that finger even more.The moment I move away for air his lips move down my neck kissing and sucking, down to the mating m
“W-What are you doing here?” I ask hiding the scroll behind me the second I realize I have been caught.I hadn’t even heard his footsteps or the bed creaking when he had gotten off it.I pride myself in being able to spot even the lightest sounds while high on alert but he proves more formidable than anyone I’ve come across.“Is that what we should be focusing on right now? How I got into the hidden space in my room?” He addresses coldness in his voice while he marches up to me steadily. “Or why you’re holding that in your hands.”He reaches behind me grabbing the scroll and ripping it away from my clutches only to hang it in front of me as evidence that I cannot even hope to hide.Now I’m shaking, trembling on my two wobbly legs that struggle to hold me up again.“K-Kain… Kain I can explain.” I stutter, fumbling over my words while choking on my own fear.The intensity of his anger though the mate bond doesn’t do to well for me either. It pressure weighs down on my chest.I try to to
For the past days the four walls of my room have been my only companion. Since Kain ordered a lock down on me.The only faces I get to see or have been able to have just been the maids bringing food three times every day, but since my fall out with Kain.Since he started at me with dejected and hurt eyes a reflection of the pain I had caused him, my appetite has been none existent.I mean, what’s the point of nourishing the body?Four days gone out of the week I had to save Jonah and Kain’s not even willing to talk to me.He doesn’t even want to see my face and I can’t blame him for that or for locking me in here, this fancy prison.I’m no better than a criminal, betraying him every chance I got and wanting to run away while he was deep in sleep.I’ve got nothing to use and appeal to him anymore.I lay motionless on my bed as I have been for a while waiting for nothing in particular, having lost all hope left.The knock on the door pulls me away from my thoughts but even then I don’t
