Lilith's POVMy heart sank as I heard his words. They had been bantering because of me. It turned out that he had told his sister about the girl he had encountered in the woods while he was hunting. Concerned for my safety in the dangerous wilderness, he had decided to bring me home for a few days. I wondered, had he also mentioned that I was pregnant?Slowly emerging from my hiding place behind the door, I stepped into the room. Both of them were staring at me, but I couldn't bring myself to meet their gazes. With my head bowed, I walked towards them, feeling a mix of emotions."Look at what you've stirred up, Clara?" Sam exclaimed, frustration evident in his gestures."What?" Clara retorted, her annoyance clear. Sam, however, paid her no mind and approached me.Summoning the courage, I raised my head, though I still couldn't meet their eyes. I didn't want to appear overly timid, especially in front of Sam's sister. Her previous comments had made it abundantly clear that she didn't l
Lilith's POVI contemplated Sam's purpose for wanting to meet me. What could be on his mind? "I'll be right there!" I called out in response.I got up from the bed, hastily putting on my shirt, which I had removed earlier for some fresh air.There was another, gentler knock on the door. I hurried to answer it, now fully dressed.Sam's hand was poised to knock again when I opened the door, leaving it suspended in the air. A warm smile spread across his face when he saw me, and I returned the gesture."May I come in?" Sam asked, a brief hesitation in his voice before I made way for him to enter. "Of course," I replied, welcoming him inside.He walked in and settled on the couch. I took a seat on the bed since it was the only other option in the room, which had just one couch and one bed. Leaning forward, he rested his elbows on his knees, chin in his hands."I've come to apologize for my sister's behavior earlier tonight," he began, shaking his head. "That's not her usual demeanor. She
Alpha Joe's POVHe let out a sigh, his voice heavy with worry. "My thoughts are consumed by Lilith, my prince. I can't help but wonder where she is right now and how she's managing all alone." He closed his eyes briefly and then opened them, his concern evident. "I just pray that nothing bad has befallen her.""Nothing will happen to her!" I asserted firmly, refusing to entertain fear. Fear only brought torment. As we approached the dense vegetation of the forest, I glanced at Adrian."I believe it's best if we transform into wolves," I suggested. "It will enhance our vision, especially in this dim light. It will also improve our agility and provide added protection against any potential threats out there.""That's a good idea, my prince," he replied. We ventured into the bush and, after removing our clothes, placed them in our bags before transforming. I observed Adrian's wolf form; he was strikingly beautiful, a stark white coat, much like mine. His vibrant blue eyes radiated in the
Alpha Joe's POVI examined him closely, his big blue eyes locked onto mine. The moment had come to reveal the truth. I had been the one to make a promise, and it was time to fulfill it, even though I felt a sense of apprehension, fearing the potential disastrous outcome."May I share a story with you?" I inquired.He nodded, "But how does this story relate to what you wanted to tell me?" He looked puzzled, his gaze drifting into the distance. "Or was it the story you intended to share all along?" He asked, seeking clarity."The story will indeed clarify what I wanted to convey," I said, my gaze unwavering as I continued, "I'll share the story and then express my intended message.""Okay, that works," he replied."There was a man who got drunk at a bar one night and had a one-night stand with a woman," I began, my eyes fixed on a distant point as I recounted the tale, "It turned out that this woman was a virgin, untouched by any man before."I glanced at him, noticing his rapt attentio
Alpha Joe's POVHis eyes widened in shock as he looked dumbfounded. "That was you? You were the man in that...""Yes, I was, Adrian," I interjected, cutting him short."Where is the girl now?" He paused for a moment, then realization dawned on him. "Wait! The girl you were referring to is...""She's Lilith," I confirmed, and he stood abruptly from where he sat, completely taken aback."No! No, this can't be!" He looked at me with a disdainful look. "Lilith slept with you and is now carrying your children?"I was mortified. I knew he wasn't going to react well to everything that had happened between myself and Lilith."I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, Adrian. I am deeply sorry," I pleaded."Lilith is my girlfriend. I can't let anyone take her away from me," he said, fury evident in his voice."Even if she is someone else's mate?" I raised my eyebrows.He kept silent, but it was obvious he was still fuming. He walked away, his destination unknown to me. I decided to leave him alone,
Alpha Joe's POVWe continued our search, following the direction the kind stranger had pointed us towards. It led us to another pack's territory. As we ventured further, we encountered a group of werewolves who stood guard along the path leading to their town."We come in peace; we have no intention of fighting," I spoke out, even as they braced themselves for a confrontation.They exchanged glances amongst themselves before returning their attention to us."Who are you, and what brings you to our territory? You are currently in the land of the Varidian Pack," one of them inquired. He was an imposing figure, with a rugged beard and bulging muscles, and among the five, he appeared the most formidable.I've encountered men like him before; they often rely on their words and intimidating appearance, but their actual strength rarely matches their physique. A single punch could easily bring him down. However, I couldn't judge this one too quickly, as I hadn't seen him in combat yet, and he
Alpha Joe's POVI went outside to escort Miriam in personally. I didn't want her to accidentally reveal secrets my father knew nothing about. I had deliberately kept certain details, like Lilith's pregnancy, from him because I wasn't confident he would keep such sensitive information to himself.After briefing Miriam on what to discuss and avoid, I brought her inside."Here she is, Father," I announced, and the king managed a forced smile."Your Majesty," she bowed curtly. After raising her face, she first looked at the king and then at me."I hear I am here for a very important discussion," she said calmly."Yes, Luna Miriam, forgive me for summoning you so suddenly. I requested your presence because I need your guidance on an important matter," I explained. She tilted her head slightly toward me, her gaze focused on me as I continued, "It concerns my true mate, the one you mentioned previously.""Oh, Lilith, I assume you want to know her whereabouts," she replied."Certainly. If you
Lilith's POVMy journey alongside Sam has been incredibly smooth. He took it upon himself to provide unwavering support throughout the nine months of my pregnancy, ensuring I lacked nothing. The care and affection from both Sam and his father, Richard, were unparalleled.Sam treated me like a sister, while Richard cherished me as if I were his own daughter. They became the family I had always yearned for. Even Clara, Sam's sister, started to embrace me. Love and care surrounded me at every turn."Lilith, how are you feeling today?" Richard inquired, pulling me from my reverie. I responded with a smile."I'm doing well, Richard, thank you for inquiring." When I initially met him, I used to refer to him as "Sir," but he insisted on being called Richard."Have you seen Sam this morning?" he asked, placing his hands on his hips."Yes, he mentioned he went out to hunt and won't be gone for long," I answered."That boy! I needed his assistance with something, and he didn't even inform me be
