Kain’s POV2 YEARS LATER…A lot has happened over the years, I’ve lost some gained some; most of it changed my life completely in ways I never knew I need.Now standing over the grave of a child that never got the chance to see the light of day I mourn it as I’ve always does, though I never got the chance to meet him for the split moment I knew of its existence where one of the best moments in my life.Even while everything around us burned and we were bruised the news of his arrival brought a smile to her lips like nothing else could.And though it’s taken more than a few years to get over our loss, we’re still taking small steps to get there.I drop a flower over the small grave.To little sesame, the name Lilith calls it, because it didn’t grow old enough to have a gender.A child’s laughter echoes from behind me while a little girl turns out of her hiding spot rushing for me.Her little feet don’t take her too far before she stumbles and falls face flat on the ground and burst int
LILITH’S POVThe loud pounding at my door is the last thing I need to hear today, especially not after this gloriously shitty week.The last thing I need right now are visitors. I’d finally managed to put Jonah, my brother, to sleep after his latest attack.After hooking him to a ventilator and watching his labored breathing finally settle into soft and well-paced slow breaths, I drop everything else I’m doing and march up to the front door, almost ripping out it’s hinges due to a bit too much wolf strength put in in my fit of annoyance.Well, we can fix that later…My wolf huffs within me, knowing that there’s a 70% chance we’re going to ignore it for weeks till it actually becomes a nuisance we can’t ignore.“What is it?” I scream out before looking at who it is.It only takes a moment to recognize twiddle dee and twiddle dum, A.K.A the Gregory twins; tall, huge, hunchbacked twins.Alpha Arden’s dogs.They stand, towering over me with almost a feet height difference while glaring ba
LILITH’S POVOne moment, I’m lost in mesmerizing green orbs that call out to me.The next, I’m being stuffed into the back of a fancy midnight black car like a perfectly wrapped Christmas gift with a bag over my head.My wolf seems almost as restless as I am when it comes to mind and then, the unsettling feeling that remains in my chest — the feeling that whatever we’re are about to meet in Deathstone pack could potentially change the course of my life into something drastic.Luckily, I’m a sucker for an adventure.***The drive to Deathstone pack is much longer than anticipated, extending past more than a few hours while I’m still heavily blindfolded till the car comes to a halt finally.The door is pulled open and the sack over my head roughly pulled off without remorse.“Get up, we’re here.” The gruff guard growls in my face while dragging me out unceremoniously and in the advent, banging my head against the roof.I wince, gnashing my teeth while calming the rage simmering within m
KAIN’S POVI knew it was her from the moment she walked into my office by that exotic maddening scent wafting off her skin, just like it had that night.She was exceptional, alluring physically, standing out in a crowd of simply bland women.The perfect add to my collection.Her unusual, almost white hair and crystal blue eyes were like none other, far from the typical, and then the daring stare she passed my way.I threw away the measly price of only 2 million to get her as mine rightfully. She’s nothing but a pretty trophy among many others, to simply show that I have the best of everything and more.Looking up from my desk now and seeing her, however, has me momentarily irked as I haven’t given an order for her to stand before me yet.Order.That’s how I want things to work in my pack. Order is everything, makes everything flow smoothly.Anything out of order is disorder, and I can’t stand for that. But looking at her face right now, staring at me with feigned wide innocent eyes… t
LILITH’ POVThe hard cold stares are even much worse than it had been at my pack, and I walk past every single one of them, wondering why and yet keeping my distance.How exactly am I going to integrate into this system when no one wants to talk to me? There’s no chance of getting a good whiff of even a bit of gossip from anyone.I haven’t met a single soul here that isn’t hostile towards me, all taking after their psycho Alpha. I walk past a couple practically glaring bitterly at me.“Xenos bitch.” He growls ferally.It takes everything in me not to turn right back and go full wolf out on his ass, but I don’t.Years of tolerance helps me quell my blood thirsty burst of anger from the demeaning comment. He isn’t worth it, Lilith.Instead, I smile at the fucker, waving back at him and watching him flinch back like he suddenly has a stroke.Acting unaffected is the best way possible to deal with assholes, and my wolf nods in agreement. I walk a bit more, hoping to find something, per
LILITH’S POV: Alpha Kain Gerard is just as the rumors say, even worse.His cold dead cruel eyes stared down at me as though my worth was nothing more than a piece of copper he could easily crush between his fists.Those eyes are the last thing staring back at me as I’m being dragged very disgracefully back to my room and tossed in like a rag doll.Once the doors are shut, the next sound that follows is the door being bolted together, sealing me in.Shit.My pride is wounded with nothing worthwhile to show for it, while that pretentious narcisstic prick entertains himself at my own expense.What I would give to smack that look off his fucking face.I sigh, falling back onto the soft covers of my bed, feeling heavily exhausted.Now that the adrenaline rush is gone, I can feel the blood pumping in my head, followed by the mindshattering headache seeking to ruin my mind.The pain of the bruise is more evident than ever.Damn those little rats that should never have been let out of their
LILITH’S POVI pass Ariel a constricted nervous smile before following Ivan out.He occupies the next high role after Alpha Kain and a potential source of information, that is if I ever get on his good side.He seems like the smart type that easily sees right through any possible façade I could whip up.Having him as a target is a potential risk, seeing as he could figure me out in seconds, yet I don’t completely scratch him off my list.“A piece of advice I’m sure you’ve heard more than a couple of times since coming here; if you want to keep that pretty head of yours on, it’d be best to hold your tongue and follow every single thing Alpha says.” Ivan says indifferently.Not necessarily wicked, yet not caring if I drop dead right this second.“You think I’m pretty?” I say, teasing instead of giving a serious response.He stares right back at me blankly, coming to a sudden halt in front of the wide double doors of Alpha Kain’s office and pushing the doors open.I pass one last sweet s
LILITH’S POV:Sleeping in a cell is a very uncomfortable experience.From the chilling draft coming from only goddess knows, to the cold hard wet floors, the leaking ceiling and the roaches and rodents that casually pass by me; every bit of it is horrible.I’m used to adapting to the worst of situations due to the nature of my job, but I never appreciated moments like this. I could, however, live with them, knowing my plans were falling into place.In this situation, however, with my plans all ruined, none of this is worth anything.I’m cranky as hell and the sound of the gates leading to this dungeon wing being pulled open echoes down the hall to my cell room and has me waking up with annoyance.I really want to scream their ears off until I see who it is. I first notice the very familiar annoying snicker from the entitled bitch herself, Yvonne.“Well, well, well…” she begins like every evil villain does, having had an upper hand on their victims.“If it isn’t the new slut Alpha Kain
