LILITH’S POV:Alpha fucking Kain Gerard, the most unreadable bastard I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.Everything about him annoys the hell out of me.From his hellish attitude and the obnoxious gaze he passes on every one, like they are simply his underlings placed in this world to do just his bidding.Then, there’s the annoying yet drop dead gorgeous face of his that drives me completely mad.How anyone can be so unreasonable and cold, I will never know.I groan heavily, now shifting away from Ariel that sits behind me, gently applying a soothing balm to my now healing bruises.“I’m sorry to bother you, but can you say still for a moment?” She says with her timid voice, trying her best not to show her annoyance.I sigh.“Sorry, these past few days just haven’t been the best.” I say.Having fully given up on the ‘using the Alpha to succeed in my mission’ route, I have to spend much more time gathering enough information I can from other members of his court and his people a
LILITH’S POV“What the fuck are you doing here?”I unconsciously flinch at the sound of his voice raised at me, suddenly unable to look up into his eyes.Where had this all gone wrong?The plan had been almost perfect, in and out with no detection and yet, the Alpha just had to show up from nowhere. I wasn’t even able to detect his presence.Just what breed of wolf is this bastard?“I can explain.” I start, stalling to think up something.“You better start talking now before I really lose my temper and lock you up somewhere you’d never see the rays of the sun ever again.” He warns while lowering his voice.I gulp, taking a step away from his threatening aura that’s suddenly choking me.“Well… well, I was just trying to—”I stop mid-sentence just when rustling in the hedges around us becomes evident, drawing my attention away from the Alpha only momentarily.From the corner of my eyes, I see a reflection of light from something metallic. Before I can put everything together, Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POVDespite his cold and uncaring exterior, his lips are soft and warm against mine and unlike the first kiss we had shared that had been hard and demanding, this is the complete opposite.He presses gently against mine, showing just as much need as before but with a softness to it, switching off all logical thoughts hanging in my brain in the process.I let him into my mouth while he takes the opportunity to quickly suckle on my tongue now.With the strength I had no idea he still had, he lifts me up my butt while still sitting up in bed, dropping me right on his lap.And immediately, I feel his hard rod right underneath me, poking at my unclothed core through the thick blanket.An unconscious moan passes through my lips before I can stop myself.His hands slide up my thighs beneath the large shirt hanging over my naked body, feeling up my curves, squeezing my ass in the process.I bit hard on my lower lip to stop the moan from escaping but he forces his tongue deeper in my
LILITH’S POV:The very first useful information I’ve been able to get is written in the tiniest piece of paper, perfectly encrypted in case of interception.The paper lies in the pocket of my jeans but I just need to find a way to get it outside and pass it via bird to the Riverstone pack.The only problem now is Ivan standing right in my room, watching my every step.“Don’t you have other things to handle besides hanging around me? You are the Beta of this pack.” I say, trying to instigate some sort of warrior pride in him.He looks back at me dully.“Don’t worry, love, I have someone handling most of it while I work here.”“Aren’t you pissed off that your Alpha assigned you to be the guard of some defiant annoying girl?” I pry further, trying to get into his head.He should be as annoyed as I am, being stuck together despite our obvious dislike of one another.“Ah, so you do know that you’re annoying.” He quips back without even batting an eyelash.“That’s not the point…” I snap now
LILITH’S POV:Today already starts off differently from most with everyone running around, trying to make everything almost perfect for the convoy coming in from Silverstone pack.Just like their Alpha, everyone seems to be just as much of a perfectionist as he is. On the bright side, I have Ivan off my back for the most part.He’s been too engrossed in Beta duties to watch me like a hawk, which means I get to investigate the full degree of the event going on. The information I could possibly get from this meeting alone could be crucial.I could get close enough to this Alpha and secure data they’d share asnew allies to Kain, and deliver every juicy detail to Alpha Arden.Possibly information that could finally put me in a place where no one could ever look down on me again, that could finally get me the attention from Alpha Arden.Call me a girl with Daddy issues, but he’s been the closest thing to a father since the death of my parents and naturally, a child would strive to achieve
LILITH’S POV:“Alpha Kain Gerard!” Jared turns to him so fast.His tone changes quickly as though he’s more than pleased to see the man he had only greeted a minute ago.“I was just asking the help for directions.” He smiles effortlessly, like he wasn’t just actively hitting on me seconds ago and in the process of leaning in for a kiss.Kain’s frown remains and visibly deepens now. I can’t say if it’s because he naturally dislikes the man like I do, or because he’s seen something disturbing.“She’s not a help, she’s my concubine.” He responds coldly.Something in the way he claims me for himself seems almost possessive and tickles me in a funny way in my chest, but I brush it off.He simply sees me as an object as always.His cold eyes move towards me and the intensity has me shivering and smiling nervously. I immediately read the look he’s giving me.Come here.I don’t need to be told twiceI jog to the other side right by Kain’s, like a tiny bunny in the midst of two wolves.“My apo
LILITH’S POV:That fucker has a goddamn son, and I never had a single clue.It was never in the files I read at the time, then again if I had enough interest in his case I would have figured out he was the Alpha of Silvermoon.This new information leaves me shocked and wondering what sane woman would willingly carry the offspring of that asshole into this world…And then I remember that we are in an era where an Alpha gets to have as many women as he needs in his harem.Lucky for him, he looks nothing like his father.All the shock wears off before lunch, the grand feast prepared for the occasion and the visitors involved.I change into a second dress freer than the last with a low neck plunge that gives a nice view of my generous bosom and tiny bejeweled hands. The upper part fits perfectly to my slender figure and the dress flays out from the hips.By the time I get to the hall, it’s already mostly filled up.At the center of the room is this 10ft long table with more than enough
LILITH’S POV: Once again, I let emotions get the better of me and I’m about to face the repercussions.As I follow Alpha Kain out of the hall from behind, I wonder where I might wind up this time. A much more discomforting cell for a week? Maybe this time, he demotes me to a kitchen maid, scrubbing pots and pans.Whatever it is he has planned for me, I brace myself for it.We step into the hallway and walk for a bit before he stops, turning to me, looking down with angry eyes. Even with the fire in his eyes I stare back into them without flinching.“You…” He begins, seething.I make the move to talk but he pulls me to him, suddenly pressing his lips against mine in the most unexpected movements.The kiss takes me off guard, so does his tongue taking the chance to plunge into my mouth and sliding across my tongue while he suckles on it.His free hand not clutching me to him moves to my breasts, sliding into my dress and grabbing onto my boob.I try to fight against it at first, push
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
Jonah’s POV5 YEARS LATER…Hiding behind the pillar beautifully decorated with flowers by the fountain I stay hushed, pursing my lips together while still covering them with both my hands to stay hidden.I do this all the time and still she still seems to always easily find me when we play this insufferable game.Hide and go seek.An hour at it and she still hasn’t found me yet, which is the longest times he’s taken to find me.Which lead me to think that maybe, just maybe I’m the only one playing this damn game.The thought of just giving up seeps into my mind until I hear footsteps approaching from ahead and stay quiet again.The gentle sound of feet slowly approaching lets me know it’s a she-wolf. Months of training from Beta Ivan comes I perfectly handy in moments like this.Hopefully in a few more years I’ll be able to join brother-in law’s guard, that is if he will let me. My sister’s hold over him has dictated far too much in my life.It’s been years since I’ve fallen ill and n
Kain’s POVI’ve finally found her, my mate but the sight of her sets off every bit of my anger I’ve been trying to put on check.Her face bruised and her clothes ripped to the point that she’s almost left bare and naked. Nothing matters anymore. My rage takes over me and all sane thoughts dissipate.I look at the fool I had tossed across the room desiring nothing more than to tear him apart into pieces of flesh lying around and feeding it to the dogs.“You bastard.” I seethe, seeing nothing more than red.I shift into my wolf in the next second lunging at him without restrictions.Or every scar on her skin I add five more on his, every bruise on her body five bones crack under the force of my attacks.I slash at him continuously with my claws while he screams in agony just barely managing to change into his wolf to have even a fighting chance but that changes nothing.He had a death wish the moment he decided to mess with my woman.He tries to attack back but it’s a puny attempt from
Kain’s POV“Riverstone pack has looked down on us for the final time. They have injured our beta and gone as far as kidnapping the Luna and we will not be silent anymore, will not seat idly and take any more of their insults. Whoever dares cross our paths to victory or slanders our name will incur the wrath of Deathstone!” I yell out to the group of men before me, my army set and ready to be thrown into a fully fledge battle, waiting just at the borders of Arden’s pack.He has bitten more than he can chew this time angering not just me but everyone else and sadly for him the only leverage he has over me is gone.“Yes alpha!” they response is thunderous and echoes loudly.“Today we walk into battle but this time to finish what we started and make our enemies beg for mercy that will not be given, for our fallen brothers and for our own legacy to go down in time as the gretats pack in all Wolfdom!” Ivan steps up yelling as well.He leans against a cane to help him stand and walk with his
The sound of the loud slap takes me by surprise and the fact that it isn’t me this time.Arden strikes his accomplice across the face in a split second, in the exact moment the announcement rolls off her lips.She falls unto the ground clutching her cheek and looking up at Arden with utmost surprise equally not expecting such an actionBut he stares back at her fuming, if steam could puff out of a person’s ears no would be the perfect time for that.He visibly trembles from the emotions moving around inside him, but none of that is any of my concern at the momentThe news takes me off guard, it isn’t even the last thing I was expecting because the thought has never crossed my mind before.“I’m pregnant?” I mutter under my breath stuck in a daze.My hand falls down to my belly that I thought was bloated due to an illness.Inside me right now is a tiny person, a little version of a mix of Kain and me in one person?How could it be?Could it possibly be a mistake somewhere, maybe she had
Lilith’s POV“Get away from me, you pervert!” I kick and scream at him desperately trying to keep more distance between me and this psychopath that’s too sick to realize just how much he’s lost his mind.All those years he had called me ‘Lili’ so fondly I begin to wonder if it had been me his eyes stared at with so much care of someone else.If the nickname little rose had been because my mother’s favorite flower was a rose.All those times she had just a passing thought of how weirdly interested in her was just in fact her instincts screaming at her to keep distance away from him, warning her that he would ruin her completely.“Get away!”Kain! Kain please help.I cry continuously begging him not to come even closer while silently praying Kain can hear me where ever he is.Arden’s rage returns again and he smacks me the other way trying to shut me up and he doesn’t stop with his assault attacking over and over again trying to get me to shut up.“You should love me and not tell me to
Kain’s POVEvery time I close my eyes it starts out with a nightmare where I lose my love, Lilith.This time she falls over a high tower and I’m running to catch her but the floors turn into quick sand that sinks beneath me and I can’t reach her before I’m thrown out of my own dream.I wake up jump right up drench in my own sweat and with my drawn out wolf claws ripping into both sides of the bed.It takes a second for the new reality to sink in and I can calm myself again.The two day mark has already been reached, she should be back soon but something feels deathly wrong.The bond feels already weak from the large distance between us and even then I can feel bits of her own despair seeping through my own end.I can’t help but be on edge and paranoid constantly.Was she not successful in saving her brother?Whatever the reason of her sadness maybe, I will fix it when she gets back, all that matters is that she returns to me safe and sound without a single scar on her bodyI will rage
For some reason his words make me feel dizzy.The room spins and swirls around me like a dull illusion manufactured to twist my mind and unravel it.I’m lost in a hazy dream that I might forget all about the second I open my eyes again, but the dream has morphs into a never ending nightmare that feels way too real and taunts me.Hot tears prickle my eyes painful while I stare back at the mad man in front of me in horrified shock that steals my ability to even speak, or utter a sound and yet he’s smiling.Somehow he’s smiling in the middle of all this, in the middle of confessing his part in my parent’s death.I shake my head slowly choosing to doubt this reality that plays tricks on me.“No…” I whisper under my breath, denying it.“Yes.” He responds nodding his head firmly with a wide grin.“No!” I scream out suddenly feeling my entire reality crumble. “You’re lying. You’re saying that just to mess with me. You know that if that’s true that I’ll… that I’ll—“”“That you’ll never forgiv
My consciousness seeps into my body for the third time, I think in one night.This time my eyes don’t open at will though.My body feels too heavy, like logs are resting over each limb, and if they aren’t neither of them respond to the signals I tell them but I’m awake just unable to control my body.From whatever paralysis I’m having I can hear mumbling in the background that lets me know that I’m not alone.A female giggling from something.Must be that bitch and then a new voice, deeper and bolder.Finally my eyes open but very slowly and takes way too much from me causing me to groan from exhaustion.I can make out two figures that remain blurred from in vision while I try so desperately to look at them.“Ah, she’s awake.” The male voice speaks.I recognize his voice s Arden’s immediately.Rage feels me in the next second followed by the desire to fight back but I’m still paralyzed.Footsteps drawn closer and I’m lifted up from lying on the cold floor and put in a seating position
