Lilith's POV

He tilted his head and stared right back at me, waiting to hear what it was I wanted to tell him. Seeing that I was just gaping at him without saying anything, he smiled and said,

"What was it you wanted to tell me?" My mind was processing a thousand thoughts all at once. What my head wanted me to do was in complete contrast to what my heart desired. I was in a dilemma, not knowing which to choose. I cleared my throat to eliminate any sign of a crack in my voice.

I wanted the words I would say to leave a lasting impression in his memory; it was a message he needed to remember for a long time.

"I love you, Adrian," his eyes grew wide. It marked the first instance I had ever uttered those words to him. His reaction clearly indicated that he hadn't anticipated hearing them. Heck! I wasn't expecting to say them myself. I simply opened my mouth and watched as my heart overtook my head, winning the internal battle.

Indeed, at the end of the day, the heart always desires wha

    Lilith's POV I wasn't sure what to anticipate, but I had a sense that whatever it was, it would be enjoyable because he seemed so enthusiastic about it. "I'm ready," I responded with a smile. "Great!" He turned toward the door and lightly knocked on it. Was his father home? Definitely not. He had mentioned that he had obtained permission from his father to spend time with me today before his father left for the bar, so it couldn't be his father in the house. So, who was it then? My eyes widened as a sudden thought infiltrated my mind. After a few seconds, the door swung open, confirming my suspicions. It was his mother, standing there like a radiant goddess. The resemblance between the two of them was so striking that anyone would instantly recognize them as mother and son. I was taken aback by her presence. Adrian hadn't mentioned anything about her being around. All he had said was that she was now well, which was the reason for his return. He smiled and glanced at me, then at

    Alpha Joe's POV "Alpha Juarez will be hosting the mating ceremony of his only son in a few days. To that effect, I would like to send both of you to the ceremony to attend in my place," he said, glancing at each and every one of us. "Juarez, as you all know, has been a very good friend of mine, and his kingdom has supported ours for a long time. The relationship we share is not something I can afford to jeopardize by not attending or, at the very least, by not sending delegates," he added, staring at Jay and me. "That's why I have gathered you all here." My grandmother smiled and placed her hand on his, gently squeezing it. "I suppose you are wondering which of your sons should attend the ceremony on your behalf?" she said, a smile tugging at the edge of her lips. "Wonder?" my father scoffed. "I am not wondering, my dear. I have already made my choice. I have selected the two individuals befitting to go on such an occasion as this." She looked astonished; she probably thought we

    Alpha Joe's POVAs they approached us, her wailing only intensified."Stop this! You can't possibly accuse me of something I didn't do!" I snapped. She glanced at me, a wicked smile crossing her face, before releasing another deafening wail. It was as if my words had only amplified her actions.She was clearly determined to achieve something. Her son and his Luna arrived at the scene. Additionally, my father emerged from inside the court and descended the staircase to join us."What's the matter, Mother?" Jay inquired, his face twisted with a grim and angry expression.My father had already joined us, listening attentively to what she would say. She pointed in my direction, drawing the prying eyes toward me. This woman was a witch! Was there truly no limit to how far she would go to make my life a living hell?This wasn't the first time such an incident had occurred."He... slapped me," she stammered, enhancing the fear in her tone to make it sound more convincing. She gazed at my fat

    Lilith's POVHer mouth hung open as she stared up at me in shock. She rubbed her hands over her eyes."Are my eyes deceiving me?" she queried."Lilith, are you by any chance pregnant?" she inquired. I glanced at her, pretending to be surprised. I wasn't an actress, but I understood that this was the moment to step up and feign innocence."Pregnant?" I scoffed, "Why would you even think that, Mother? I am not pregnant. I've heard people get pregnant when they have sex, and I haven't slept with any man yet," I lied, maintaining as straight a face and composure as possible.She possessed an uncanny ability to see through people, and she had consistently pierced through my lies in the past. However, at this moment, my determination to stand my ground and maintain composure was stronger than ever. I had so much at stake if she were to discover that her suspicions were indeed true.She studied me attentively and then proceeded to slap my stomach. I winced at the sharp pain but managed to en

    Lilith's POVHe observed me with keen interest, an air of curiosity surrounding him as he anticipated the words about to escape my lips. My throat felt dry as I prepared to speak, contemplating how to convey the painful truth that I no longer loved him and desired to end our relationship, all while my heart continued to ache for him."You can do this, Lilith," my inner thoughts urged me on, the weight of the moment pressing upon me. "You have no other choice. It's now or never."I gazed into his eyes and offered a gentle smile. "Adrian, it's true that I've cherished my love for you for the longest time, but I've come to a profound realization – my feelings for you have evolved."In response, his eyes widened, and his mouth fell open, leaving him utterly dumbfounded. Recognizing his speechlessness, I pressed on, my voice steady, "What I'm trying to convey is that we can no longer continue our relationship."His reaction was one of complete astonishment; he shook his head in disbelief,

    Alpha's POVI sat on the floor, contemplating my options. I needed an heir as much as my father desired a grandchild. My gaze shifted to Lilian, who still lay on the bed, seemingly in worse shape than I was. She remained almost motionless, staring at the ceiling.Earlier, the physician had excused himself and left us alone in the room. I stood up and moved to sit beside her on the bed. At that moment, a tear rolled down the side of her eye and landed on the bedsheet. Lilian had reached that painful stage of grief where there were no more tears left to shed, despite the inner agony.I gently lifted her head and embraced her, and together we sat in silence, lost in thoughts about our past and uncertain future. This was not the life I had envisioned. Other mates who had bonded around the same time as us were already expecting, their growing bellies a clear sign of their pregnancies.Even Jay's mate was more than two months pregnant, a fact my stepmother never failed to highlight. I could

I was especially disappointed in my father for readily providing information to his queen and not defending me when she implied that my cursed star might be the cause of my mate's miscarriages.It was as if I were the only one born under the cursed star's influence. I knew of other male wolves born around the same time as me who were already mated and had children. Why should my situation be any different?My father's supposed care and understanding had vanished. Now, news of my mate's miscarriages would undoubtedly spread rapidly throughout the palace and even across the entire Starfall kingdom.The sorceress turned her attention to me, saying, "I will speak only if the person involved consents," clearly recognizing the tension in the room and my desire for privacy. She waited for my response.At least someone understood that I didn't want my personal matters discussed in the presence of a woman who had harbo

    Alpha Joe's POVI looked at Miriam, my mind racing with questions. She had mentioned "babies." Did she know how many there were? I needed answers, and I needed them now. She reached out and held my hand gently."My prince, time is of the essence. You must act swiftly to find and care for her," she said, sighing heavily. "That poor wolf has endured so much suffering in this world."I stared at her, unable to find the right words. I couldn't shake the guilt that I had done that poor girl a great injustice. Would she ever forgive me? I was still trying to grasp the revelation that she wasn't just my mate but my true mate."Thank you for everything, Luna. I have to go find my mate, I must find her," I said resolutely. She smiled and nodded."Everything will change for the better once you do," she assured me. I escorted her to the carriage and instructed some guards to take her home.Heading straight for my chambers, I found Lilian still on the bed, silently mourning the loss of our unborn

    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
