CHAPTER 23: DOGS AND BONES

last update Last Updated: 2023-01-06 19:18:38

LILITH’S POV:

After the whole fountain fiasco, I head back to my room to take a shower, washing out all the dirt and ruined makeup out of my face and body.

The entire night has turned a whole 180, yet I can’t even bring myself to be as annoyed as I should be. Maybe because we both had gotten a good laugh out of it.

Thinking back, it still felt like a dream to have seen Kain burst out laughing. The devil had no emotions after all.

Or perhaps… he wasn’t so bad after all. Maybe just a misunderstood guy with a whole lot of temper holed up inside him.

I know judging him based on the fact that he just showed his carefree side is wrong, but everyone else might have done the same to him.

The world is a cruel place and living in it, you have to do questionable things to survive — like I am.

I scoff now, letting the cool water pour directly over my head.

Here I am, trying to justify what I do for a living when I’m no different from a petty thief.

Tired of the shower, I step out after drying mys

    LILITH’S POV:As we walk into the very grand hall, all murmurings seize instantly. Heads and bodies turn to us and begin to bow almost automatically to Kain while we walk right in the middle of everyone.From this, I get just a glimpse of the kind of power Kain holds over these people. His crazy scheme to conquer all the packs seems more real than ever and momentarily, a slight fear runs to my heart thinking of my own pack.If there would be war, once Kain decides to face us, it would be a difficult battle with a tiny chance of us winning, and Alpha Arden would never yield to a man much younger than him.No, there’s no point in worrying. I still have time to get the blood scroll, and possibly, Kain could be reasoned with.If he could have mercy on Jared’s pack, then ours shouldn’t be a problem, right?I force a smile, looking like the perfect accessory by his side while we move to the table with refreshments to grab a drink.Once the greetings are over, eyes begin to fall on me next,

    LILITH’S POV:In less than a second, I swing the bastard upright on his feet again and rest my back against the nearest wall, letting the weight of his body fall on me in a position that might seem that I’m being molested by him.“You better play along or you lose your fucking tongue tonight.” I whisper the threat just as the door swings open and Kain walks in.I instantly push him off me as planned.“I told you I’m not interested.” I cry out, clutching myself as though I’ve been harassed.Jared, already weak from pain, tumbles on his feet and falls on his butt, unable to say anything besides silently gasping for air.I turn to Kain, hoping to goddess he buys this little act.“What’s going on here?” He asks now with eyes focused on just Jared that’s too out of it to give a proper response.Shit, I can’t let him realize that he’s injured and know what I did. It will throw off the ‘damsel in distress’ persona I’ve built up to this point.I step between them now.“He tried to come on me

    THIS CHAPTER MAY CONTAIN SCENES OF GORE AND VIOLENCE.KAIN’S POV:Since we parted ways after the dance had come to an end, she’s clearly been avoiding me.Leaning against a wall and sipping my wine, I watch her carefully from the corner giggling at whatever the man in front of her is saying sheepishly. Even now, he blushes like a fool who has never gotten attention from a pretty woman before.It’s no surprise — she knows how to spin the heart of a man to do her bidding. Maybe she had done the same to Jared and to me as well. I had never planned on purchasing a slave, and yet here I am.Her bewitchment might also be the reason that it annoys me this much seeing her flirt around with other men shamelessly. If it had been anyone else, what would I have done?Well, it doesn’t matter.I pry my eyes away from her, looking down to my watch. It’s almost midnight and the main entertainment for tonight will soon commence.I don’t have an issue with her being here to witness it. But then again

    POV:(Seconds after leaving the hall)“Your dress seems to have wanted a sip of your wine.” I mimic the bastard’s words with a more stupid and high pitched tone to vocalize my ridicule even more.That man just annoys me so much, as though my night is not already ruined.My dress, my gorgeous dress is soaked in fucking wine because some bitch couldn’t handle the fact that her date wasn’t as interested in her anymore.If I had the mind to, I would have scratched her eyes out then and there. The worse that would have happened would be some kind of punishment from Kain and even he isn’t that much interested in the looks of some woman from another pack.It just seems as though everyone was out to get me tonight; Jared, Kain and that girl. And when I was getting close enough to squeeze some information from the poor unsuspecting bloke.I groan, taking off my heels and heading towards my room more dejected than ever.I’m tempted to call it a night.

The crippling fear pulsing through my veins freeze me at the spot while every fiber of my being screams at me to run.It has been so long since anything has ever moved me to this point.After moments of silence, he turns his entire body towards me.“You…” He starts, casually taking a step closer. “Who let you in here?”I snap myself out of whatever trance has held me in place, breaking away from his eyes and finally breathing again.I look around at everyone, still doubting everything and hyperventilating while a single thought runs through my head.Was this always the plan?From how chill he is about the chaos, it seems pretty orchestrated.“Why?” I whisper, feeling a bit of tears welling up in my eyes.I’m sure neither one of these people were prepared for anything when they had been killed.“Why!” I scream louder, staring at his face.He remains unremorseful, watching my reaction with bored eyes.My ey

How dare she act like she knows anything?I groan, pacing back and forth, running my hand through my hair. What’s so special about the blasted little boy anyway, that she would look at me like that?My chest hurts suddenly, a light annoying sting that bothers me nonetheless and she’s the cause of it. Getting on my nerves and riling me up at every single chance she gets.I should kill her.No, I should have killed her then; snapped her twig-like neck and be done with everything about her and yet…the muscles in my hand fell weak, and for the first time, I couldn’t take a life as easily as I always have.I really have gone insane.I need an outlet for my rage before it explodes.“Who’s th

It had all transpired for the tenth time this week. It’s become a routine for me.The quiet hall feels as though I had imagined everything myself and perhaps, Warren is still alive and jumping around in his room till this day — but I dare not deceive myself.It had all happened; he killed him.“Lilith?”I scream, jumping from the sudden intrusion in my thoughts before turning round to see Ariel.Sweet cute Ariel with her rounded doe-like eyes brimming with curiosity.“What are you doing?” S

The thought of losing my brother or him falling sick scares me the most.“He’s fine. I took care of him, got him the treatment he needs, though a bit expensive, but I did it for you guys. You've been under my care since your parent’s death, so it’s the least I could do.” He explains with a warm smile that puts my heart at ease.“Thank you, thank you so much.” I wipe away the bit of tears that had welded up in my eyes during the panic.“It’s all possible due to pack funds, Lili. Without everyone’s help, it wouldn’t have been possible and that’s why you need to try harder and give back to them in service.”I remain silent now, feeling discomfort mixed in with my relief now. The thought of owing them such a favor doesn’t sit well with me.“I’ll pay back the money.”“It’s not about the money. The pack has
