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
Lilith's POV "He chuckled, comprehending my intention since I'd expressed it multiple times before. "First, I'm already committed to someone you're familiar with. Second, Dad is far too mature to be your partner," he quipped with a touch of sarcasm. "Oh, come on, I don't mind. Age is merely a number, and he still appears as youthful as you," I playfully teased. "True, because wolves rarely show signs of aging, and when they do, it's like aging like a fine wine," he grimaced. Giving me a gentle nudge on the shoulder, he suggested, "Since you've got some free time, and the little ones are sound asleep, how about we take a stroll in the woods?" I instantly felt a surge of excitement at the prospect. I had spent what felt like an eternity cooped up inside this house without venturing beyond the front porch. "That's actually a great idea, although you could have just admitted you wanted some company while hunting," we both chuckled, as my hunch was spot on. "Dad?" Sam called out. I
Lilith's POV The Prince and I began spending more time together, often arranging our meetings in the woods. We even went hunting together once, which turned out to be a fantastic experience. He was becoming more open with me, sharing aspects of his life that I hadn't known before. One day, he expressed a desire to meet my children. That posed a challenge for me. I had already informed him about my four children, and by now, they were four months old. They had grown into adorable little beings, showing signs of wisdom and strength. Their bubbliness was infectious. Ultimately, I agreed to let him visit our house and finally meet them. On the day Prince Leo was to visit, Sam, his friend, went to accompany him to our house since he hadn't been there before and needed directions to find it accurately. Their friendship continued to grow stronger. At times, I couldn't help but feel like Sam and Prince Leo were scheming something together. Sam would orchestrate secret garden picnics all o
Lilith's POV"What? Are you serious?" he exclaimed, rising from his seat. "What kind of mother is that? Wait..." He raised his hand and furrowed his brow, pondering, "Are you sure she was your biological mother?" It was the same question that had plagued me for years."She is indeed my biological mother. In fact, you should have seen me before. I used to have a prominent scar on my face, and I was ridiculed in Starfalls kingdom," I admitted with a heavy heart."People would call me names like 'cursed,' 'witch,' and more. I had only one friend and a father figure at the bar where I worked." I smiled as I reminisced about Adrian and his father, Joseph.He shook his head in sympathy, his expression filled with genuine concern. "You truly had a difficult upbringing. No one should endure so much suffering from their own birth mother. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.""It's okay," I managed a bittersweet smile. The memories were fading, and I rarely dwelled on them anymore. I wa
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
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 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
