Lilith's POV

I opened the door, and he walked in – the man who had captured my mother's heart. He had been visiting our house frequently these past few days, after staying away for about a month or two.

"Good evening, Alpha Andrew," I said coldly, not meaning to sound that way, especially after the way he had stood up for me the other day. But anyone associated with my mother deserved as much scorn from me as I could give.

"Evening, Lilith," he replied, disregarding my tone. "Is your mother at home?" he asked with a raised brow.

Thankfully, I didn't need to reply, as she walked out of her room and headed in our direction.

"Just the man I wanted to see," she said, giving him a kiss and a long hug. I moved away from them to the kitchen to prepare dinner as usual.

From the kitchen, I heard smooching sounds coming from the living room where they sat on the couch. The living room was very close to the kitchen, making it easy to hear everything going on there from the kitchen.

    Lilith's POVWe arrived at the palace soon enough, though we were a bit late, as most members of the pack were already seated. Adrain led me to an empty seat on the second row, and we sat down.From where we sat, we could clearly see everything that was going on on the stage. Everywhere was beautifully decorated to mark the occasion.Alpha Joe stepped onto the stage to make an announcement. Upon seeing him, the whispering in the crowd stopped as everyone paid rapt attention to what he wanted to say."Greetings to you all, the wonderful people of Starfall Pack. We are extremely delighted to have you all here tonight to celebrate with the king and Queen as they mark their 25th mating ceremony anniversary," he said, looking across the crowd as he spoke.He stood with so much poise and elegance. He would indeed make a great king one day, I thought. I could feel my wolf recoiling with sadness inside me. She had been rejected by her mate, and I could understand her pain.I could still feel

I looked up to see who it was, just as my attackers spun around to see who had intruded.My eyes widened in shock; it felt like they would pop out of their sockets. It was the crown prince. What was he doing here? I thought. Had he been summoned by the bond between us? My heart skipped at the thought.He looked at me intently before coming closer and helping me stand up. My heart kept pounding; it felt like it would break out of my chest any minute now. His steady hand supported my back as I stood up, and I felt weak in the knees.My mate was there, he had come to my rescue! I suppressed the urge to scream to anyone who would listen that the Crown Prince was my mate. "Aren't you just stupid?" my inner thoughts sneered. "You'd scream to anyone who'd listen that the crown prince is your mate?Please snap out of it already, or have you forgotten how he marked another in front of

    Alpha Joe's POV:I shrugged off the thought. My mate, Lilian, was beside me, and it would be very disrespectful to her to keep thinking of another girl whom I had saved by chance.As soon as the ceremony ended, I went straight to my chambers with Lilian. We had been so busy preparing for the ceremony that we had little time to rest. Now that it was all over, we could use all the rest we could get.********Morning came soon enough, and I stood up from the bed, looking over at Lilian who lay next to me. She looked so beautiful. I kissed her forehead and stood up. My father, the king, had told me the previous day that we would go hunting today. I enjoyed hunting with my father.On the hunting grounds, we were free beings, shifting into our wolf forms and even brawling with each other. I smiled at the thought. These days, I had been defeating my father, unlike before when he would pin me on the floor a few seconds into the spar.Growth does beautiful things to one, I presumed. It has mad

    Alpha Joe's POV:"This is it," I thought. The time had finally come for him to reveal what he wanted to discuss with me. I had actually been in suspense for the past couple of hours, wondering what my father wanted to discuss with me outside the palace grounds. It must be something very important, I had thought.He looked at me, his eyes had some depth to them as he spoke gravely, "Son, you already know my story with your mother. I am so glad you threaded a different path," he began. I understood what he meant. I am glad he didn't go into details; I didn't need a reminder right now that I had been born out of wedlock.He was proud I threaded a different path by finding my mate and marking her already. Even though I loathed the circumstances surrounding my birth, I couldn't help but be thankful to my mother and father for bringing me into this world."If they hadn't met or given in to their sexual urges, I wouldn't have come into existence, or I probably would have, but to a different

    Lilith's POV:Seline was the first to speak. First, she cast a glance at Adrian, who stood beside me with an unreadable expression on his face, then she turned her gaze back to me.She took my hand in hers, an act that made me want to pull away. This had never happened before. Seline always avoided me as if I was a plague. Why then was she taking my hand in hers this time around? Adrian, seeing what had just happened, rolled his eyes and scoffed.Seline didn't pay him any attention as she continued. "Lilith, I am so sorry about what happened last night," she blinked her eyes twice as if she was trying to suppress tears, "I couldn't sleep much last night thinking about what happened.I just don't know what came over me. You know I am not usually like that," she said frantically, drawing her brows together."What an actress!" I thought. She was indeed a natural. The way she had delivered her speech with so much remorse and emotion would make anyone at all who witnessed the scene believe

    Lilith's POV:I wondered what he wanted to ask me. "Go on and ask then," I replied with a smile. "Promise first, promise me that you won't get mad," he said. "I promise, I won't get mad." "Okay, I have been meaning to ask why you haven't stood up to your mother yet. You are an adult now; you should stop letting her treat you like an outcast." I knew he was right; I have thought about it several times too. "I guess I just haven't summoned the courage to do so," I replied. We were already at my doorstep. I looked at him, forcing a smile. "Well, I guess this is where we say our goodbyes," I said. "Yeah, I guess so." His eyes were filled with concern as he looked at me. He was troubled for my sake. "I guess I will see you tomorrow then," he said after hesitating for a while. I simply nodded, and he left. He didn't know the real reason why I couldn't leave my mother just yet. It wasn't just because I lacked courage; it was also because I didn't have anywhere else to go. If I chall

    Alpha Joe's POV:Lilian was about to get up from the bed to check who was at the door, but I motioned for her to stay back. I didn't want my princess to feel stressed. I got up, put on my dress, and went to see who had come. Since Lilian was with me, I couldn't just yell for them to come in, so I decided to check myself.I opened the door, and there stood a royal guard. I recognized him immediately; he was one of the king's personal guards. Why was he here? I stared at him with furrowed brows, urging him to speak."Good day, my Prince," he said."Is there a problem?" I asked hastily instead of just replying to his greeting. I was in no mood for pleasantries right now; I needed to take a nap for a while, anyone trying to deprive me of that as he was, was considered an enemy."The king, your father, asked me to come and remind you of the special royal dinner taking place tonight.""Oh Shit!" I smacked my hand on my head, it was actually today. I had completely forgotten. I nodded to him

    Lilith's POVIt was just the two of us who had come. We arrived a little bit earlier than the normal opening time of the bar. I didn't know about him, but my reason for always coming early these days was because of him. I wanted to have a few minutes to spend alone with just him before others arrived."Hey beautiful," he said as I reached the counter where he stood. I blushed at his words. He always had a way of making me feel special. He was too good with words. If I didn't know any better, I would think he was a womanizer.Well, technically, women threw themselves at him. I have seen both our co-workers and even customers come up to him and tell him they fancy him, but he always had a way of turning them down politely. He even told one gorgeous customer who pestered him that he had a girlfriend."That must be it," I thought. I felt a little bit jealous when I heard him say that, but that singular act of his made my respect level for him shoot through the roof. Not only was he extrem

    Lilith's POV Prince Leo came to inform me that the king had summoned us. I was in the middle of breastfeeding little Sam at the time, so he kindly told me to continue and join them in the courtroom once I was finished. Leo planted a gentle kiss on my forehead and then bent down to kiss little Sam, who was busily suckling on my right breast, before he left. He was an incredibly kind and caring man. Sometimes, I couldn't help but wonder what I had done to be blessed by the moon goddess with such a wonderful partner. I felt entirely at peace with my decision to marry him. After feeding little Sam, who was the last to be nursed since my other babies had already been breastfed, I carefully dressed and made my way to the courtroom. Leo had emphasized that the matter was of utmost urgency, leaving me curious about what it could be. As I reached the door to the courtroom, I felt an inexplicable pull, a strong force drawing me in. It compelled me to step inside. A few steps in, I turned tow

    Alpha Joe's POV As I pondered my next words, doubt and uncertainty swirled within me. Should I disclose Lilith's identity and risk potential complications with the Frostwood pack? Or should I come up with an alternative reason for our visit, giving me time to secretly reunite with Lilith? It was a difficult decision to make. In the end, I chose the latter approach. I decided to act as if I had come for a different purpose, allowing me the opportunity to spend some time in the palace and secretly plan Lilith's return with the members of my pack who had accompanied me on this journey. After much contemplation, I realized that concealing the truth could lead to a potentially devastating conflict between Starfalls pack and Frostwood pack, something I couldn't afford. The risk of war was too great. So, I made the difficult choice to speak the truth, hoping that we could resolve the situation peacefully. Inwardly, I considered the possibility that Lilith might be working within the palac

    Alpha Joe's POV I turned to him and took a deep breath. "This morning, the Stargazers visited the courtroom to deliver news to my father and me," I began. His brows furrowed, showing his heightened interest. "Lilith is no longer within the boundaries of Starfalls pack," I revealed. His mouth dropped open, and his eyes widened in shock. "Wait, I'm a bit confused. How did the Stargazers come to know this? Did they go searching for her?" he asked, his curiosity evident. His questions were understandable, and anyone would wonder the same. After all, the Stargazers were known for studying stars, so their news typically had a celestial connection. "They are Stargazers, Adrian," I replied calmly. "Their duty is to observe the stars and report significant findings to the Alpha King," I explained. "As they conducted their observations, they noticed the sudden disappearance of four stars that symbolized protection over our pack. These four stars represented Lilith's four young children."

    Alpha Joe's POV Their eyes darted between one another and then focused on me. Austria, their leader, cleared his throat before speaking, "My Prince, we have an urgent matter to discuss. While studying the stars, we observed the disappearance of four crucial stars from the sky." He exchanged glances with his colleagues before continuing, "These four stars hold immense significance for the Starfalls pack. Their absence foretells impending danger, and if they are not returned to their rightful place here within our pack, the doom of Starfalls Pack is inevitable." Austria's words left me perplexed. He had spoken in riddles, expecting me to decipher their meaning. What did these four stars symbolize? I needed a clear explanation to understand the gravity of the situation. "I apologize, Austria, but your words seem rather cryptic," I remarked, fixing my gaze on him. Austria turned to my father, who nodded in agreement. "My Prince, I believe you are aware of the situation. The woman you

    Lilith's POV I watched as an incredibly beautiful woman walked in. She stood about 5'9" tall, with silver hair and captivating ocean-blue eyes. She looked stunning, like a goddess. Is this the woman Prince Leo is married to? I was completely astonished. A quick glance at the people I had come with showed that they were equally awestruck. I composed myself as she approached Prince Leo, hugged him, and planted a kiss on his cheek. She respectfully bowed to the King and Queen before turning her attention towards me with a warm smile. I swallowed hard as she drew nearer. Her eyes remained fixed on my face, and her smile never wavered. She took my hands in hers, and the entire room's attention shifted to us, eagerly watching to see what would unfold. "I've heard so much about you from the prince, Lilith. You look absolutely stunning, far more beautiful than I could have imagined. It's truly wonderful to finally meet my co-wife," she exclaimed, pulling me into a tight embrace. My eyes wi

    Lilith's POV I glanced at everyone, and they all appeared as apprehensive as I felt, except for Prince Leo. His calm demeanor didn't surprise me; this was his home, after all, and he was about to see his father, the king, again. He probably saw him before leaving the house in the morning, so he had become accustomed to it. "Usher them in," a deep male voice resonated from within the courtroom, sending shivers down my spine. Prince Leo held my hand with his free one and whispered, "Don't be scared, my father doesn't bite," he chuckled. I took a deep breath and walked beside Prince Leo, with Sam, Robert, and Clara following closely behind us. As I gazed at the throne, I saw the king seated majestically. He commanded a substantial presence without the need to stand up. He appeared astute and imposing, in stark contrast to Leo. Yet, there was something remarkable about him, a shared trait with Leo: his kind green eyes. I surmised that Leo probably took after his mother in terms of loo

    Lilith's POV The next day arrived, and I had barely slept a wink the previous night due to my anxiety. Today, I was scheduled to meet the members of the royal family. I couldn't help but wonder about their perception of me. Would they accept me with open hearts? Or would they merely pretend to like me? I remembered the Prince mentioning yesterday that they were looking forward to meeting me. Personally, I suspected he might have played a significant role in their expectations. He probably convinced them of his fondness for me, leaving them with no choice but to go along with it and feign affection for an omega wolf they had never met before. I couldn't quite understand why, but being in the lowest rank among the werewolves always carried a certain stigma for me. This feeling was compounded by the fact that I had grown up in a home and pack where I longed for love from the people who mattered most. Life had been undeniably challenging until I met Joseph and Adrian in Starfalls Pack

    Lilith's POV He gently brushed his fingers across my face, tucking a stray lock of hair behind my ear. "You are breathtakingly beautiful, unquestionably the most radiant young lady I've ever had the pleasure of seeing," he said, a sensuous smile gracing his lips. His smile made him even more handsome, and I felt my cheeks flush at his compliment. "Let's go and share our decision with Sam and Robert," he suggested, taking my hand and leading me back toward the house. When we arrived, Sam was outside, hard at work cutting firewood. He looked sweaty and exhausted in the sunlight. Spotting us, he wiped his brow with a nearby cloth and came over. "My Prince, you're both back," Sam greeted with a playful nudge to the prince's shoulder. The prince smiled and replied, "Yes, we're back, and I have something important I need to discuss with you and your father." Sam's expression shifted to one of surprise as he briefly glanced at me, and then he looked away. I avoided making eye contact wi

    Lilith's POV The prince and I were scheduled to have a meeting later today. He had mentioned that there was something important he needed to discuss with me. He emphasized that the outcome of our conversation would decide whether he'd meet with Robert and Sam for a follow-up discussion. I had no idea what he wanted to talk about, and honestly, I didn't care. I was willing to do anything to spend some precious moments alone with him. As the time for our meeting approached, he arrived and led me to the garden, our customary meeting spot. "Lilith, there's something important I need to share with you." I listened intently, my eyes fixed on his handsome face, trying to read his somewhat solemn expression. "We've been spending time together for a while now, and I'd be dishonest if I told you the only reason was to be friends," he said, shifting his gaze to meet mine. "It's more than that, Lilith. I want us to be more than friends; I'm deeply drawn to you." My eyes widened in astonishmen
