001 We Weren't Meant To Be

2021-04-17 00:23:08"What a pretty wall, isn't it?"
Lilith jumped at the sudden question, only to realize that her roommate had been waving a hand in front of her eyes for quite some time now.
Emma giggled at Lilith's confused look towards her question: "What are you staring at our wall for?!"
"Jacob is coming to pick me up! So--" Still having the stupid smile on her face when her mind was drifting, Lilith stood up and spun in front of Emma, "How do I look? Please tell me it's perfect!!"
"Elegant, beautiful, cute." Emma nodded with a serious face before she turned on the taunting grin: "Wayyyyyyy overdressed for a date night."
"Except it's not JUST a date night." Lilith stared at Emma, trying to sound mysterious.
Lilith couldn't keep her lips from curving up even for one second to make a straight face.
"Wh--Oh my God!" Emma gasped, "It's tonight?! He's finally introducing you to his family?!"
"Yess!!!" Lilith yelped as she threw herself onto Emma but only for a second, "Careful! Careful with the makeup and the dress..."
"Black suits you." Emma took a step back and checked Lilith up head to toe as if looking at her for the first time, "My little girl is finally grown up."
"Ughhhh..." Lilith rolled her eyes, "My mom won't talk like that even if she's still alive. She would be the coolest mom, unlike you."
"Hey!" Emma protested, "Who has been taking care of you, huh?! You ungrateful brat?"
"You have!" Lilith grinned at her and gave her a hug, stopping the silly joking around.
Nothing could wipe the smile off Lilith's face today.
"Wow... But seriously, you guys finally made it..." Emma exclaimed, throwing herself onto the sofa with a long exhalation, "When did you start dating? High school?"
"Since our first year." Lilith grinned, sitting on the chair with her back up straight. She didn't want even a wrinkle on the dress, "He was my deskmate--"
"And your soulmate AND soon-to-be roommate." Emma giggled, "I still cannot believe you guys haven't slept together, like, ever?! What's wrong with him?"
"Nothing! He just takes it really seriously, okay?!" Lilith threw a pillow at Emma but she dodged it, "Plus, we JUST made 18 last year!"
"Exactly, LAST year!" Emma rose her arms in frustration, "Stop hiding behind the underage shield!"
Lilith turned her head as she mumbled: "Besides, I WANTED to wait as well."
"Sure, YOU wanted it." Emma rolled her eyes, "Not because you would do whatever he tells you to do."
"That's so not true!" Lilith protested, "Plus, Mage families have all kinds of weird rules, okay? I'm but a humble human, so of course I try to respect his lines more."
Emma chuckled when Lilith said the word "humble" with a little curtsy.
"Well, no Mage family ever takes in a human, that's true. Today is the day when you finally convinced me that true love exists, okay? You win." Emma sighed with a smile, infected by Lilith's excitement.
Lilith grinned, taking in a long breath to calm herself.
SHE didn't even believe they could make it herself, not until a week ago when Jacob asked her to attend the "important meeting" of his coven tonight.
Tonight he would announce their relationship to his family.
Tonight Lilith would be embraced into his coven and turned into a witch.
Tonight was the night, where they would finally be together, forever and ever--
"Now you are appreciating our ceiling, great."
Emma's voice felt so far away from Lilith. She heard her, but she didn't seem to understand even a bit.
"When is he picking you up?"
"Hmm?" Lilith took her phone to check the messages, "Oh my God! He called me! How could I have missed his call?!"
"Well, probably because you were busy staring at the wall and the ceiling." Emma giggled.
"Stop it!" Lilith wanted to rub her face but she stopped herself in time so she wouldn't ruin the makeup, "He's gonna be MAD! It was TWO hours ago! Should I call him?"
"Hmm, yeah!" Emma frowned but didn't say too much.
She didn't like how Lilith tip-toed around Jacob on things that upset him, and he gets upset easily!
At that time, Lilith just told herself that he was just a precise guy who demands respect for his time and his privacy.
"I should go." Lilith decided.
"To where?" Emma sighed, "Can't you just call him and ask him to come again?"
"I don't want to..." Lilith shook her head, "Plus, he was gonna take me to his place first anyways. Something about preparing me for tonight's ritual. I'll just go and make up for the time wasted."
"But Lilith--"
"Please Emma, can I borrow your car? Please, please, please!"
Emma always comply, and Lilith grinned as Emma dangled her car key in front of her.
"Ughhhhh, how come you can be so cute and normal in front of me but not in front of the guy you are going to spend your life with?"
Emma complained, but Lilith didn't hear Emma because she was out of the door by that time.
She was still happy and excited on the way driving to his place as she felt her hands shaking on the wheel, but when she got to his door, nervousness caught up.
Lilith stood at the door for a few seconds before she finally took a deep breath and knocked.
Unfortunately, the door slid open on her knocking.
Surely enough, Jacob was there. Not upset as how she expected though, but surprised.
Guess it was because of the pretty girl in his arm. He pushed her away the moment he saw Lilith as if that would make it look better.
It didn't help that the girl's red lipstick was still printed on his lips.
"How did you open the door?!" Jacob exclaimed and wheeled his head at the girl with the huge realization: "Ann! Was this your plan all along?!"
"Ohh, you mean the little spell you used to lock the door?" Ann curved her lips with a cute shrug, "How would I know that she would just barge in like this?"
Lilith rose her eyebrows in shock. Should she say "sorry" now?
Lilith didn't even feel anger at that moment. He was a powerful wizard from a Mage family, and she was... gorgeous. It just made sense in so many ways.
"Ann..." Jacob sighed heavily before he turned to Lilith, "Baby, please hear me out. She's just a friend who happens to come over. You know? For the night. She's also a witch."
Gorgeous AND with magic? Great. Lilith heard laughter in her head, and that was her laughing at herself.
She really should have seen this coming.
"Baby, please. We were just goofing around. I didn't mean to kiss her." Jacob let Ann go and walked toward Lilith, but Lilith's body took a step back before she even realized what she did.
How could you not mean to kiss someone? Should fact check it scientifically. Lilith heard herself joking in her head.
She seemed to have lost the ability to talk...or think, properly at least.
"Lilith, you know I love you..." Jacob took Lilith by her arms. There was a little shaking in his voice.
"Really?" Lilith didn't even know whether she actually said that out loud because she felt something was crawling on her face, and she only realized it was her tears when she raised her sleeve to wipe it.
Oops.
Now the makeup was definitely ruined.

"Lilith, please don't cry..." Jacob pulled Lilith in to comfort her, but she just felt like she was a doll with her soul floating somewhere that she couldn't find. Ann burst into laughter. Lilith didn't feel the anger when she run into them. She didn't feel the anger when Jacob was still going on about "explaining" when there was no room for misunderstanding. But Ann's laughter did it. It was what lit everything up. Lilith suddenly remembered all. All the innocent lines he said, now sounded like lies; all the time that they weren't together, were now filled with images of their kissing; and all times when he yelled at her for some silly, small stuff became this fuel that drove Lilith to turn and run towards Emma's car. Borrowing Emma's car was the best decision she made that night. "Lilith! Lilith, please! I have never cheated on you before! This was just a misunderstanding!" Jacob followed Lilith impatiently as Lilith

"Tonight we gather here, for this night is to be the most important night of our time!" The high priest announced with his low yet vigorous voice on the high stage, and the whole square fell into silence even though it was filled with people. "Where are you going?! Jacob!" Ann yelled but Jacob already sprang out of the car even before she could fully stop it. "But first, we have a little sweet announcement," The high priest curved his lips and his long, white beard jumped a little with his smile, "From the boy of the Family Algood, Jacob Alg--" "High Priest!" Jacob stopped his dashing just by the edge of the stage, staring at the high priest with begging eyes as he shook his head like crazy. "Ohh..." The high priest got his hint and murmured, "Well, pity... guess we have to move on then." Confused whispers spread the crowd, and Jacob could swear he heard one or two laughter as well. Damn them! "What's wrong?" An old, sl

No one before she and Jacob made the wand glow, and that was all the Mages in the town. No one else would and could appear now, it was HERS! Ann stepped up there like a glowing queen, and of course she was in her finest suit -- she even wore a pair of white leather gloves, as a little touch of her elegancy. She put her hand over the wand, and a shadow was cast over The Shadow, making the light reflected on the wand even dimmer. She grabbed the wand and rose her arm over her head! She heard the crowd gasped in sync, and she looked up-- The wand was not glowing. No one spoke. No one even moved. All eyes were on her, and unlike Jacob's little incident, this one they WILL remember. The smile was off Ann's face now. "Wait!" She glanced at the crowd in panic as she tried ripping the gloves off her hand, "It's my gloves... give me a second." The second glove just won't come off. Ann threw the glove she managed

"Oh my God, what happened to you?!" With no answer, Lilith buried her face into Emma's shoulder, knowing her tear-makeup-mixed face would totally ruin Emma's favorite sweater. "Come and sit, you poor thing!" The sweater was no longer Emma's priority now, "Tell me what happened?" "I don't want to..." Lilith mumbled and tears burst out of her at the first sound she made. The water tap won't even spill water like her eyes spilling tears. "What did he do now!" Asked Emma with her teeth clenched, "HE did this to you, didn't he?!" "It was me..." Lilith shook her head, couldn't complete too long sentences, "It was my doing..." "How on earth was that YOUR doing?!" Emma couldn't keep her voice down, "All this because you missed his call?! Are you fucking kidding me--" "No..." Lilith shook her head, sobbing, "It w*-w*sn't like that..." "Then what happened!" Emma let out a frustrated plaint, "Please, Lilith, you are scarin

"Get back here and take care of her!" Hank shouted at Jacob. His rare temper shut Jacob up effectively. "Ann would face a much more severe punishment if this one dies." Hank added in a lower voice. "What do I do!" Jacob turned back to Emma quickly hearing that. "Tell me where Lilith went, please." Hank turned to Emma, who was in a lot of pain and was at the edge of losing her consciousness. "I know you care about Lilith, and I'm the only one who can save her now." Hank fixed his eyes on Emma, "You don't want Ann to hurt her, right?" "Sh-she is leaving town," Emma said with great hardship, "Hig-highway 18, she's bound to take that one..." "She owns you her life." Hank nodded before he put her finger on Emma's forehead and she fell into a deep sleep. "I have stopped the bleeding for now," Hank told Jacob briefly, "Take her back to your house and your mom will know what to do. Do NOT take her to a hospital, do you understa

"What--?!" Ann took a step back in shock, "What are you talking about?!" "Well," The man shrugged, "I just thought it's a wand you have there in your hand, is it not?" "Ohh..." Ann looked down at her own hand with a relieved exhale, "Sorry...It's just...from a gift shop..." "I see." The man nodded with a polite smile, "A very exquisite souvenir, it seems." "It IS beautiful, isn't it?" Ann mumbled. All she could think of was how she told Jacob not too long ago about how love doesn't matter, yet she felt so powerless in front of this mysterious man smiling in front of her. "Please, we need your help." Said the man with not even a shred of hasty in his voice, "Could you call an ambulance? The girl is badly hurt." "Hmm, yes of course!" Ann pulled out her phone from her jacket and started dialing, only to see the man curve his lips at her. Damn it! Now he knew she was lying about the light from her palm because she J

"High priest!" Ann gasped as she looked down to her own hand, which was what took away Hank's breath. Because in Ann's hand, The Shadow was now glowing. Dimly, but the glow was still there. "How?! I mean... how did it happen?" Hank stammered as he started walking towards Ann. His attention was no longer on the crashing scene. "By the time I got here, she already crashed the car..." Ann started with an improvised lie. There was no one to expose her anyways. "What?! You mean Lilith?" Hank took a gasp as he blinked in confusion, "Where is she?" "She was taken to the hospital." Ann said, "I called the ambulance right away as I got here." "That's good." Hank nodded, still in shock, "So what happened to The Shadow? How was it wakened?!" "I don't know..." Ann handed The Shadow back to Hank, "I was so worried about Lilith when I saw all these, and before I knew, The Shadow was already in my hand with its whole b

"Feeling better?" A deep, rough voice rose beside Lilith, but she couldn't seem to understand it. She felt as if the whole world was twirling around her when she finally managed to move a little, and she could barely feel her own eyelids. "Don't move, you hit your head pretty hard." The man covered his palm softly on Lilith's forehead so she won't rip her wound open. "Who are you..." Lilith opened her mouth but her throat was so dry that even she could barely hear herself. "No rush on talking." The man moistened his finger with water and stroked her lips as soft as possible, "You will feel better after you drink some water." There was little struggle Lilith could put up before her world went dark again. The man pushed the button by the side of the bed: "Nurse, get Dr. Sarla, please." "Yes, Mr. Gaumond." Edmund gazed at Lilith for long before he finally closed his bloodshot eyes. He barely slept in the pa

"Boss, why didn't you tell her about Jacob's part in it?" Buster held a tie at Edmund's side. "I don't want to upset her." Edmund shrugged, "It was Beryl's plan anyways." "I guess we are keeping her this time then?" Buster asked with an innocent enough tone, and still got himself a glare-- Edmund didn't like this subject, because he wasn't sure how Lilith would decide. And he hated waiting other's decision. But Lilith didn't have any spare mind to really make any decision. The new witch life was too strange for her to settle in-- Light shot out of her hand everytime she had even the slightest mood swing. When she woke up from a nightmare, when she was pat on the shoulder, even when someone just called her name while her mind wandered. The first few days would have been hard if it wasn't werewolves and Sarla that was around her but normal humans. She felt horrible at first, but they made it into a game-- Lilith was having lunch
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 043 The Sweet Taste
Lilith woke up in the middle of the night, and Edmund was sitting in a chair right next to her bed. "What in the name of Jesus!" Edmund shot open his eyes, apparently also a bit shocked: "Sorry! I dozed off...How are you feeling?" The last thing Lilith remembered was Ann inviting her to the private room in the library to "talk", so waking up to Edmund sitting next to her was as if the past several days was a super long horrible dream. As if she never woke up from the crashing night. "Why am I here?!" Lilith asked in panic, "What happened?! I thought I was in the library..." Considering her reaction -- well, her fury -- the last time he suggested to Lilith that Jacob might cause her crash, Edmund decided against dumping the nightmare-like day to her. Instead, Edmund just sat down on the side of the bed and patted her on the head-- "You are okay now...shhh--" "Don't!--" Lilith threw her wrist and hit Edmund's hand away, y
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 042 How To Treat Your Ally
Several voices shouted at the same time. Some of them were mages, shouting at the fact that "Lilith" got hold of the wand; Mike, Ann and another mage standing near Algood were shouting at Algood because they didn't want the body control spell lifted. If only shouting works. They never do. "Lilith" got the wand in her bloody hand, and then blacked out the next second, like a puppet who just lost its strings. The wand also dropped from her lifeless hand, rolling away and stopped in the middle of the room. "Buster, the wand!" Edmund shouted as he managed to stand up with Lilith's body held in his arms, "Sarla!" Buster jumped out at the wand the second he heard his name called out, and Sarla was already at Edmund's side checking on Lilith's status. "Boss, she's fine, just out cold." Sarla glanced at Edmund's concerned look, "Let me check your wound--" "I'm fine." Said Edmund impatiently with one handheld on his left chest hard, "Wh
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 041 Body Control
Sure, Edmund sighed in his mind -- he wasn't even that surprised. He was now pretty sure Ann was the one who crashed Lilith's car, so he doubt if he'd be surprised if one day he finds out that Ann had killed someone. "So, Mr. Algood," Edmund turned to Jacob's father with a dangerous smile, "Body control spell is your specialty?" "I don't owe you any explanation!" Algood snorted coldly, "Don't get too comfortable here, wolf!" "I wonder why you would help," Edmund sneered, ignoring Algood's attitude, fixing his eyes on "Lilith." There was now visible fear on "Lilith's" face. "Would you care if I kill..." Edmund's eyes fell slowly on Algood, "whoever inside her?" "Of course not!" Algood scolded furiously, "What are you implying?!" "I'm not implying anything," Edmund let out a light laugh, "I'm SAYING, you are the one who cast this spell, and my guess is, the person who is controlling Lilith's action is your son, Jacob Algood."
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 040 Soul Swap
Though a bit surprised, Edmund was actually waiting for this moment -- Whoever made Lilith into this weird puppet, Edmund needed them to use her to reveal themselves so he could save her. Lilith picked up her left leg and threw her knee into Edmund's abdomen. Edmund back a step fast, trying to avoid her leg-- She would hurt herself if the crash happened -- A werewolf's body was was too strong for a human's kick! Edmund rose up Lilith's right arm into the air so she was barely standing on the ground, and losing all the momentum she had as her body bumped into his chest. Usually this would stop one from trying to make more damage but Lilith swang her body as if her wrist couldn't feel pain, and the second Edmund realized that whoever possessed her body didn't care about her, he had to let her go-- And this time Lilith's foot hit his hand and the suitcase flew out and slid to Ann's feet. "Ann!" Hank gasped in shock as Ann stepped

"Guess it wasn't her after all." Hank let out a relieved sigh-- For a second, he was really worried that Ann just might be the one causing the crash! "I'm sorry for the unfortunate crash," The archbishop sighed lightly, "Maybe some hothead went for her after Hank's vision changed on the meeting, but if so, at least she would be safe now." "That would be the best." Edmund nodded politely, not letting anyone see the suspicion in his eyes, "I have only one question before I gave this suitcase to you: who would be in charge of this wand, if you were to waken it?" "No one." The archbishop shook his head, "And I don't want your blood." This time Edmund was genuinely surprised -- he actually thought his blood was what the coven was after. Why would they need him if they didn't want to use his blood to waken the wand?! "I had the exact same surprised face," The archbishop smiled warmly, "When my mentor told me he didn't want to waken the wand,

"Please, young alpha, take a seat." The old man smiled warmly at Edmund, gesturing a seat near to him as he sat down slowly. "That's very kind of you, archbishop." Edmund grabbed Lilith's wrist and pulled her toward the table, "But before anything else, I need a favor from you. I think she was put under a mind spell." "Yes, my child?" The old man held out his hand to Lilith, "Let me take a look." Lilith took a quick glance at Mr. Algood before she walked toward the archbishop slowly, and put her hand in that wrinkled palm lightly. The old man held her hand as he closed his eyes as if he was listening carefully to something. Everyone in the room was holding back their breath as if that would disturb this mysterious ritual. "I don't feel any trace of magic on her, young alpha." The old man finally opened his eyes. "Thanks, archbishop." Edmund bowed a little, with still suspicion in his eyes. Lilith threw Edmund's hand off
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 037 Puppet Show
Lilith stood by the side of Ann with an empty look, like a puppet following its puppeteer. Edmund narrowed his eyes at the scene in front of him with a frown-- Why was SHE here?! And what was she doing with Ann?! The last time he checked, Ann was the one who stole Jacob from her! Putting down his glass, Edmund took a step forward to Lilith, and Ann noticed his intention immediately-- "Please," Ann curved her lips as she announced to the room, "This is the girl who asked to be turned on our last meeting, Jacob's girlfriend, Lilith Hayes." Lilith stood there, not even blinking as if it wasn't her name that just silenced the room. "What is this?" Hank frowned -- he just got out from the archbishop's study, "I didn't know--" "Sorry, Hank," Mike, Ann's father put a hand on his shoulder, "it was my mistake. I heard my little girl was the reason why Miss Hayes missed her chance to be a witch, so I thought maybe we could add this littl
Alpha Rejected By His Human Mate 036 Special Guest
Taking a sip from his gin, Edmund let out a slight sigh. The dinner at the archbishop's was yet to begin. Apparently they were waiting for some "important guest". "The 30th time." Buster mumbled in a small voice. "What?" Edmund looked up, confused. "You have sighed for the 30th time tonight, boss." Buster smiled politely as he stated in a flat tone. Not flat enough to be accepted by Edmund though-- "You have been pretty bold lately," Edmund squinted his eyes with a frown, "Maybe I have given you too much freedom?" "It's my job to assist you, boss." Buster bowed, gentleman like, "I merely feel that you need more of that now, ever since you met Miss Hayes." "I don't know what you are talking about." Edmund took a huge gulp of his drink. "I thought meeting with Miss Hayes might lighten up your mood though," Buster muttered with a confused tone, "please tell me you talked to her, boss?" "Shut up."
