012 I'd Love To Serve, My Master
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I just want to know how you left the ward." Still laughing, Edmund was now again the gentle and warm man Lilith woke up to, "Is that a secret?"
His sudden change of attitude made Lilith frown in confusion.
"Could you please indulge me of this one question?" Edmund bowed at Lilith with much earnest, "You may leave after this."
Lilith's face softened at his humble gesture. The stern look was gone, but was replaced by a naughty smile: "Fair enough. No, it's not a secret."
To her surprise, Edmund was not annoyed by her rebellion but instead was amused.
"I thought I told you to stay where you were." His hands in his pocket, Edmund leaned in with a grin.
"And I should obey your command because...?" Lilith asked with a polite and restrained tone.
"No reason! Haha..." Edmund burst into laughter again, "I'm sorry, this is just really interesting."
"Sure." Lilith frowned at Edmund's sudden laughter: "Well, I'm leaving now. If you can give me your number, I'll pay my debt to you when I can."
"Ohh, on that I have no doubt." Still laughing, Edmund handed over his phone, "Could you take a look at this before you leave though?"
It was a picture of Lilith's car crashed into a fancy-looking convertible head down.
"What's this?" Lilith took a gasp as she recognized Emma's car immediately, "I crashed into another car?!"
"Well, you crashed into MY car." Grinning brightly, Edmund bent forward so his face was leveled with hers, "I believe we were talking about debts?"
Lilith swallowed hard before she took a deep breath with her eyes closed so she could embrace herself before she asked: "H-how much is it?"
She didn't really want to know the answer.
With the little knowledge she had on cars, it was a number that she could never afford.
"Is the car your only concern?" Edmund put on an "I'm hurt" fake frown, "I'm okay, by the way."
"Well, I just assumed you weren't in there?" Lilith mumbled, pointing at the gauze on her own forehead, "You don't really look like a man out of a car accident."
"Could you sound more regretful that I'm not killed?" Edmund chuckled at the pitiful look on her face, feeling a little itch in his chest somewhere.
"Are you hurt?" Eyes moving up and down on him, Lilith asked nervously.
"Thanks for the late concern," Grinned Edmund, "Second to a car but I'll take it."
Annoyed at Edmund's teasing, but reason told Lilith it was wise to get into a fight with the man to who she owned a huge debt.
"Still want my number?" Teased Edmund, enjoying even the sight of her biting her lips in a conundrum.
"I really wish you WERE in the business of Human trafficking now..." Lilith sighed defeatedly, "Though I doubt I could pay for that car even if you sold me."
Edmund burst into laughter: "Is that what you thought what this was about?!"
Lilith's ear tips rushed red in a second and Edmund was putting all his effort into fighting against the impulse of taking a bite on her cute ears.
"I'm sorry I ruined your car." Lilith took a deep breath, "I'll try to pay you back but I doubt I can do it soon. I don't really know how much a kidney is worth..."
"A Kidney?" Edmund chuckled, "That's the best plan you can come up with?"
"Aren't there always people who are looking to buy human organs or something?" Grunted Lilith as she was almost in tears.
She took a deep breath with her eyes closed to hold them back because she didn't want to show her weakness.
Edmund chuckled as he shook his head in disbelief of her stubbornness: "Well, I guess I could use a little maid, but that's just too horrible of me. How could I do that--"
Lilith narrowed her eyes as she glared at Edmund.
Did he just suggest making her his maid?! What was this? The Middle Ages?!
"How much is the car?" Taking a deep breath helped Lilith to restrain her tone within the range of "upset" instead of "furious".
"Temper is bad for your injury," Edmund smirked as Buster's heavy steps rose behind him, "Buster, how much was the convertible?"
"2.1 million, sir." Buster let out a long relieved exhale when he saw Lilith, though he had no idea what this conversation was about.
"I'll pay you back!" Said Lilith with her teeth clenched before she turned and stormed towards the entrance.
"You don't have to." Said Edmund with a chuckled.
Buster opened his mouth in shock because Edmund didn't move when Lilith headed to the door.
"Thanks for your generosity, but I will get the money!" Still mad, Lilith stopped and answered without even turning back.
"No, I meant, YOU don't have to." Edmund curved his lips into an evil smile, "I do believe the car belongs to Miss...Emma Brown?"
Lilith wheeled on Edmund with pure shock and despise on her face.
"I don't think I have any evidence to hold you responsible, so," Edmund shrugged with that annoying grin, "You are off the hook."
It was now Lilith's turn to have the impulse to bite, only not out of love, unlike Edmund.
"You dare touch Emma, and I WILL kill you! You--" Lilith stopped the cursing, remembering it was her who crashed his car, "I'll be your maid, IF you promise you won't harass Emma."
"Fair enough." Edmund grinned as he held out his hand to her: "So I believe it's okay for me to say... you are mine now?"
Lilith bit on her lips hard, reluctant to take his hand.
"Hmm?" Edmund grunted with a slight frown and Lilith complied with a sigh as she took his hand.
Lilith gripped his hand as hard as she could in the hope of bringing some pain, though it failed miserably when all that got her was a chuckle out of Edmund.
"You are not worried that I might just poison you?" Lilith rose her face as she approached Edmund, so close that he could almost feel her body, "Master?"
That word worked on him too well.
He felt something waking up inside his abdomen and it would be an A-certificate scene if he didn't put a stop to it.
"This way, my little mate -- I mean -- maid," Edmund took a step back.
It sounded like teasing, but Sarla saw it in Edmund's eyes -- it really WAS a lip of tongue.
Lilith laughed at Edmund's obvious dodging her being so close, but he didn't mind: "Let's sort out the details of our contract then."
"So long as I get to serve your meals," With her teeth clenched, Lilith put up a restrained smile, which looked even more deadly than poison, "Master."

In the end, Jacob went with Ann. "Are you sure you don't want to go attend to your girlfriend?" Ann glanced at Jacob in a casual tone, but her fingers were pure white for gripping tight on the wheel of her roadster out of nervous. She didn't want him to, of course. She needed Lilith away, as far as possible. "I would understand if you go." Ann continued after Jacob answered her with silence, "You know I will. I know how much she means to you." "I called ALL the hospitals in town, and she was nowhere to be found." Jacob let out a heavy sigh, seeing that he cannot avoid this topic. "Aren't you gonna go look for her?" Asked Ann in a small voice, glancing at him cautiously. "And how do you suggest I do that?" Jacob closed his eyes tiredly, "I'm telling you, it's like she vaporized from the face of the earth." Ann remembered the evil grin of that mysterious man, Edmund Gaomond. Even if he was able to save Lilith, Jacob sould have he

"Boss. I got her for you." Buster knocked on the door and got in after he got approval from Edmund. Looking up, the first thing Edmund caught with his eyes was the pout on Lilith's face, but she didn't notice that Edmund put something in his drawer the moment they came in. "I thought we have an agreement." Edmund pushed the file in front of him a bit further away, smirking at Lilith, "I don't remember putting down 'try to escape' as part of your job description, my little maid." "I'm NOT," Lilith threw off Buster's hand on her arm, "trying to escape!" "Then why does my loyal guard has to bring you in like this?" Edmund chuckled as he came out of his desk, "Having fun playing hide and seek?" "And I don't remember losing my total freedom is part of the deal either!" Lilith protested furiously, "I wouldn't have to try to get out if I didn't lose my phone in the crash." Edmund rose his eyebrow and closed his drawer with a natural move as h

"It is wakened..." Archbishop's old and low voice put a shade of awe on the face of everyone in the room. They were all high levels of the coven, all except Jacob, who came at Ann's request. "Hank, they should know." Said the archbishop, closing his eyes tiredly as if falling asleep. "Yes, archbishop." Hand bowed at the old man and turned to the rest, "As you all know, I have taken some glimpse into our fate, doom, awaits us." The whole room listened in silence. "But sometimes, only sometimes, there are visions of a bright future for us, instead of doom." Hank continued, "But ONLY sometimes." Ann had a bad feeling when Hank stressed on that "sometimes" so many times. "But there's something I haven't told you," Hank took a deep breath before he continued, "These visions, they are prophecies of the same time." "What does that mean?" Jacob scanned the room in confusion only to realize that the confusion was not universal.

"Can we talk, please?" Edmund put his hand softly on Lilith's bedroom door but no one answered. "I haven't been eating all day." Edmund said jokingly, "Missing a little maid serving my poisonous meals." Still Silence. "I haven't really got time to talk to you, and that's my fault. I just want to know you more..." Edmund muttered to the door in front of his face. Yet again, silence. Edmund knew what he had to say, the thing that Lilith wanted to hear but he just wasn't used to say it...ever. "I know I overreacted yesterday, and I'm sorry, okay?!" Edmund sighed before he rose his voice defeatedly, "I AM sorry. You didn't do anything wrong, well, except--" Voices rose, but not from the room. It was from the hallway-- "What's the boss doing?" "Talking to a door...well, correction, apologizing to a door." "Apologizing?!" "Shhhhhh!" Edmund rolled his eyes. Shouldn't they know that he was a were

"I'm sorry!" After a short awkward silence, Lilith and Edmund burst out together, and then both shut up at the same time. "Sorry I sneaked in!" Lilith snapped out of the shock quicker, "I only want to make a phone call, nothing more!" "I understand," Delight overwhelmed Edmund at the fact that Lilith was talking to him again, "I overreacted yesterday, that was my bad." Lilith didn't mind that he wasn't able to say the word "sorry". She had bigger problems to worry about now. "It's okay, I understand!" Lilith nodded genuinely and Edmund rose his eyebrow in surprise -- Why would she even understand his reaction? He was not supposed to know her SECRET relationship with Jacob! "Anyways," Lilith put up a smile, "I tried to call Emma again but there was no answer. Should I fetch your meals now? Master?" Edmund squinted his eyes at Lilith in suspicion. If it was her guilt talk to say that she understood his overreactio

Sat in silence, Ann had been wiping tears off her cheeks for the whole ride home. Her father had not said a word after he shouted "shut up" at her in front of the whole high level at the archbishop's place. It wasn't like it was her fault that the archbishop suddenly went back on his words! Ann felt as if the anger and shame were burning inside her. "Father." Ann opened her mouth when the tears finally stopped. She knew her father wouldn't want to talk to her in tears because "tears are weak". Yet no answer. "Father, I'm sor--" "Shut up." Said her father sternly. "Mike." Ann's mother put a hand on her husband's arm, "There wasn't much she could do." "She could have NOT humiliated me in front of the whole coven!" Ann's father replied coldly, "What was that farce?! Yelling at the archbishop like a baby demanding a candy bar?!" "I'm sorry." Ann bit her lips white, trying to hold back her tears. "Sto

Jacob found Ann by the side of the road within minutes after she called. She was sitting on the curb, playing the necklace in her hand with a blank face. "Are you alright?" Jacob ran to Ann soon as he stopped the car. "Could use a lift." Ann tried to give Jacob a grin but it was too bitter. "I cannot believe the archbishop kept the wand to himself!" Seeing Ann's sorrow in her eyes, Jacob complained in a cynical tone, "No one else could light it up! I don't even understand why he would do that!" "He must have his own reasons." Ann smiled understandingly, "I just need a ride home." Knowing that Ann left with her parents, Jacob didn't have to ask anything more to know that it was her stringent father who kicked her out of the car. "Come on," Jacob pulled Ann up by her hand, "What a friend is for?" Throughout the whole ride, Ann had been curling up on the back seat with not even one word with her eyes closed, but Jacob knew

"I'm so glad you are here!" Lilith was still staring at the "failed call" on her screen when Jacob opened the door and dashed toward her with open arms. "Jacob." Said Lilith in a sullen tone when she took a step back and avoided the hug that she had enjoyed for years. Jacob paused with a frozen smile on his face before he put down his arms awkwardly: "Well... Come on in! Please, let's get inside first." Lilith followed him in silence. "Lilith!" Emma jumped off the bed the second she saw Lilith appearing from behind Jacob, "Are you alright?!" "I'm okay!" Lilith chuckled a bit at Emma's exaggerated reaction, "Just a little bump on the head, I'm fine. How about you? You look so pale..." Lilith's worried eyes moved from Emma's pale face to her bandaged shoulder: "What happened to you?!" Emma glanced at Jacob in a panicked look and that caught Lilith's eyes. "Emma--" Lilith looked into Emma's eyes, and it was too ins

"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."
