LILITH’S POV“Urgh…” My gag reflexes take over and push the mushy grey chunk of my breakfast I’ve devoured back into my mouth, but I close my eyes, pushing it back down.“This is disgusting.”Ivan says nothing, sitting a good distance away from me and watching me.He hasn’t left my side since last night’s surprise attack and now, he’s here to watch me and make sure I finish whatever concoction has been made in the name of breakfast.“Why does it taste like oatmeal that’s been sitting in the fridge for a month?” I complain, picking a spoonful and letting it drip down.It slides off the spoon in lumps.“That’s because it’s good for you.”“Do I at least get a cookie for eating this?”“Your blood sugar level is already high enough. Doctor’s orders.” He shrugs as though there’s nothing that can be done about it yet the corners of his lips twitch, trying to hide that satisfied smile.“Screw her orders, I’m already feeling fine.” I frown, dropping the plate aside and folding my hands below my
LILITH’S POVShould I leave with Rebecca, potentially finding out a way to get the Blood scroll or… should I stay with Kain?Days later and I still can’t make up my bloody mind. The first option would make everything so much easier for me. I could go home with my brother finally, get that dream life sooner than later… or stay back even longer.None of this should even be a decision in the first place.I knock right on Ariel’s door because I need some new scenery and I haven’t seen her in days.Ivan had said something about her coming down with some kind of flu and locking herself indoors for a few days. So I decide to pay her a visit — distract myself in the process, I guess.The door finally pulls open, revealing Ariel.“Lilith?”“Heard you were sick, I came to check up on you.” I say, walking past her into her room.It’s just as wide as mine with a more cuter aesthetic to match her personality and gives off a more cozy feeling than mine.I move over to her bed first, remebering just
LILITH’S POV:Before everything happening around me can sink in, she pulls the wood right out of my gut in the most painful fucking way and without a shred of remorse.I drop on my knees, unable to withstand the pain that wracks through my entire body, even touching a bit of my soul in the process. Then fall fully on the ground, curling into a ball.“Shit!” I curse loud enough, coughing up a bit of blood from the damage to my system.“That’ll shut you up for a while.” She comments, tossing the wood aside and dusting the filth of her hands.She’s not desperately gagging for air like she was doing just a second ago, which adds to the ‘what-the-fuck’ moment that’s unfolding right now.Speaking on that… what the fuck is going on right now?“I’m sure you're probably wondering what’s going on right now.”Probably?I try to speak but end up spitting out more of my own blood and the gash in my abdomen leaks so much of it. The chances of me surviving from this already seems bleak.“Gosh, all yo
Kain’s POV (Minutes before the attack) A few of my men are spread around the perimeter of the south edge of the pack borders, assessing the area for signs of unauthorized break in.A few of our men were reported missing last night with unrecognizable footprints found at the site of the crime.“It’s over here, Alpha.” The informant, the only guard that had been on duty and didn’t go missing, calls out, pointing at a spot to draw our attention.I’m in no mood for running around the outskirts of my own pack, but it’s a serious case and I need a dose of fresh air and a distraction from everything’s that’s been going on.3 days, 12 hours and 13 minutes since she’d stared at me like the worst scum of the earth. I hate to be one of those pathetic men desperately pining over a woman, but I can’t seem to stop myself from counting the seconds.I hate to admit it but her hold over me seems to be worse than I had initially thought.Here I am, throwing myself deep into my work so I don’t think ab
Lilith’s POVThey successfully manage to bind me with dusty old ropes and toss me in a wide basket that one of the bulky guys carries on his back like a darn backpack.The only reason I’m going along with this people so easily is because I’m injured and there hasn’t been an opportunity to make a run for it, plus my feet is literally off the ground.“Double the pace.” The leader of the bunch yells to the rest of the scruffy men dragging the crate and making a run for it.Rebecca does whatever she wants to do, slowing down so she can walk right next to me and humming a tune to herself.She seems pretty chill, assured that nothing will go wrong.I adjust myself in the very uncomfortable position I’ve been tied in, like a 30 week old fetus.“If you move too much, your wound will reopen.”“Yeah, I figured that one myself.” I say dryly, finding her concern at this moment very annoying.“You know, Kain’s going to stop you.” I add for fun, just to tease her a bit but she remains laxed.“He’s o
LILITH’S POV:“Rebecca.” He growls inhumanely.Rebecca’s eyes are instantly filled with panic the moment their eyes clash.In an immediate attempt to put an end to me while she can, she quickly turns to me, releasing her claws and getting ready to rip out my heart in that second while he’s still feet away.Before her hand makes contact, he’s suddenly behind her in a swift second, grabbing on that very arm and tossing her all the way back into the room with so much ease and power.Her body flips in the air before she crashes into the already brittle wall easily.It takes only a second for her to get up on her feet again, royally pissed, and her irises morphing into that of her wolf’s, just like Kain.She seethes now.“I’m sick and tired of you ruining my life, brother. The title of Alpha should be mine!” She yells from frustration and getting emotional.Kain, on the other hand, changes his stance, purposefully shielding me away from her in the process but his entire body visibly trembl
LILITH’S POV“How is he?” I ask the pack doctor.She leans away from him after minutes of observing him and humming to herself, while taking down notes.Her lack of words has constantly put me on edge and I can’t hold it anymore.Funny enough, I hadn’t been this impatient when she had stitched me up and put in new bandages. I hadn’t been impatient all through the time when the resident of the burnt down building had all been transported to an emergency location.I was calm, sitting right next to Kain quietly and watching over him.She hums again, looking over every single thing she’s written since examining him, nodding to herself.“After close examination, there’s no doubt about it… he’s asleep.”There’s a moment’s pause.“What?”“The Alpha must have been exhausted for a while and suddenly undergoing all that stress, plus a building collapsing on him must have accelerated his fatigue.”“What about the scratches?”“Shallow wounds, should heal in a few days.” I let out a sign of reli
LILITH’S POVA lot has happened and I had almost forgotten about that two timing bitch.“She said there was a crash and you were both injured and while trying to escape, the room came down on you. She panicked and went to look for help.”Of course she’d spin some stupid story to make herself seem like a victim.“Though thinking about it some more now… I wonder how you wound up being chased by Rebecca in a different room” He muses to himself now.At least it seems like he’s about to figure out that there’s been some sort of foul play.“I wonder the same thing.” I play along.Telling anyone what had happened won’t change much of it though. I mean, I’m sure she has her reasons to be a deceitful bitch as well.“Where is she?” I want to pay her a little visit myself.***I leave his room with the directions he’s given me in mind with one simple thought in mind; payback.But what can I do to get back at her for stabbing me in the back? What can I do that would really hurt her in the worst
