#Chapter223Lila's POV."Here... These should fit. You're coming with Elias and me tomorrow," He beamed as he gave Alarix a bag."Um, thank you," Alarix countered, looking perplexed.I gaped at Levi and grabbed his shirt, pulling him back. "What's happening tomorrow?" I quizzed."Well, we're going to sort Alarix out with everything he needs." Levi grinned. "Here, mum sent this for you. Bring Alarix to the packhouse in the morning." He mentioned as he handed me a bag.I nodded my head slowly as I watched him saunter out of the house. "You don't have to go with them." I blurted, spinning around to face Alarix.He chuckled and shook his head. "I'll go... I can get to know them." He smiled.I took a deep breath then nodded. "Well, you can get dressed in the bedroom. I'm going to get a quick shower." I yawned, moving towards the stairs."Hey," He grasped my arm gently and let out a breath. "Are you happy that I'm here?" He whispered.I reached up and planted a firm quick kiss on
#Chapter224Lila's POV"What? What would happen?" I exasperated."He's hot, isn't he? Sweating, shivering, making awful sounds?" He asked."What's going on?" I growled."Bloodlust, Lila. He needs to feed." He sighed. "Animal blood alone isn't going to satisfy the hunger in him." He whispered.I gasped and dragged in a shaky breath. "Got it." I drawled, letting out my breath slowly."Wait!" He blurted. "There is another option..." He hesitated, taking a deep breath. "We could make him go cold turkey, so to speak. The risks are high, and he may not survive it, but his bloodlust will only get worse, and he'll be murderous." He continued.I snarled, a rasping, deep sound echoing throughout the bathroom. "Why the fuck would you even suggest that?" I hissed."Lila, vampires feed on human blood for years. They build up a tolerance for it; they don't get addicted. He's not used to human blood." He sighed. "He's drunk so much human blood and vampire blood. There's no saying what it's g
#Chapter225Lila's POVI pulled him along to the bedroom without breaking our kiss. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he spun me around and shoved me against the door, closing it."I'm sorry," he mumbled between kisses. "I should have told you I needed to feed. I was embarrassed." He whispered, pulling away and staring down at me."It's ok... This is new for us both." I smiled up at him. "We've been living in different worlds... We need to learn to join them together." I continued.I liked my fingers through his and led him towards the bed. I sat on the edge and scooted back. I patted the space beside me. "Are you sure?" He asked as he sat beside me.I nodded and leaned up. "I've never been so sure of anything." I breathed before climbing over him and straddling his waist."You know once the bond is complete, the..." I pressed my lips against him firmly and hummed, wrapping my arms around his neck.I know marking each other will start the undoing. The prophecy will come into
#Chapter226Lila's POV."I'm on my way," Amari burst through the link."But you don't know where I am?" I puzzled."I may have made your brother mad." She cackled."You woke him up?" I grinned to myself as I could imagine his face as she pounded on the door.Amari lives in the packhouse with her mate, James. They're both warriors. James joined us after he'd completed the course at KS Training Centre. I trained Amari, even though she didn't need much training. She needed to learn to channel her power from the Dark Wolf. Once she had done that, she was unstoppable."Woke him up, no... Disturbed him, yes." She guffawed.I chuckled and shook my head."I'm in your back garden... I think."I stood up and went towards the door. I slid the door open before slipping outside. The cold air felt amazing. I inhaled and sighed. The smell of nature filled my senses; an instant calmness washed over me.My eyes settled on Amari and Elias. Amari was scanning her eyes at the house. "Elias?"
#Chapter227Lila's POVI groaned, rolling over in bed. I yawned and fluttered my eyes open. I screwed my eyes shut and groaned... The light was too bright. I'm still so tired. I feel like I haven't slept at all.I felt Alarix stir beside me. I opened one eye and stared at him. He gave me a drowsy smile; that travelled straight to my core."Are you ok?" He whispered, chuckling.I opened both my eyes fully and gave him a half-smile. "Are you ok?" I urged apprehensively.He nodded, then rested his head on the pillow. "I'm sorry for how I acted last night," he murmured. I smiled, reaching forward. I gave him a chaste kiss on his cheek before moving down the bed, resting my head against his chest."Did it help last night, or do you need more?" I questioned."Lila." He stated as he scooted down the bed until he was lying face to face with me. "I'm good now, I promise. I will tell you next time." He declared, moving my hair away from my face."Good," I smiled and yawned again."Yo
#Chapter228Alarix's POV.I leaned against the wall opposite the front door. Lila asked me to stay here while she went outside. Someone is here that wants to meet me... I don't see why they didn't come in or why she went out there alone, though. I chuckled and leaned my head backwards.Even though I made a complete fool out of myself last night, my gorgeous beloved still chose me. I behaved shockingly, and I'm so ashamed of it. I realize it was because of the bloodlust, but I wouldn't have blamed her if she kicked me to the curb.Last night was amazing. I never expected the marking to feel like it did or indeed taste as it did. I have never had that kind of pleasure before; the immense pleasure coursed through my body.Feeding on her was out of this world. Human blood doesn't particularly taste very pleasant, but Lila could quickly become my favourite taste. I felt lightheaded; it was the most delicious thing ever.The mark imprinted on my neck is extraordinary. It's such a bea
#Chapter229Lila's POVI was in trouble. My dad was about to blow his top. He had a deep grimace on his face. I could practically see the steam coming from his ears. He was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. No matter what I say, he isn't going to listen because I was in the wrong.Although it all worked out, it could have gone an entirely different way than I wouldn't be sitting here right now like a reprimanded pup."Dad... Before you say anything, can I tell you why I did it?" I murmured.He groaned dramatically and shook his head. "I'm not happy about what you did. Actually, I'm beyond angry." He fumed. I zoned out, no longer listening to his rant, and concentrated on the family portrait hanging behind him."I'm sorry I didn't listen... that I disappointed you," I mumbled, feeling my eyes tear up.I hated knowing I'd disappointed my parents. He chuckled as he rose before coming over to me. He crouched down in front of me, taking hold of my hands.
#Chapter230Lila's POVI picked up the water bottle that was by my jacket. I twisted the cap off before gulping it down."As always, Lila, you bested me." David keened, sat on the floor, clutching the side of his head.I peered at him from the corner of my eyes with a sly smirk on my face. "You put up a good fight, nevertheless." I chortled.I picked up my jacket and tied it around my waist. After I had lunch with my mum, I needed to burn off some energy. I couldn't sit around and wait for Alarix to get home... Though, that's all I wanted to do.I observed in admiration at all the warriors. Pride bubbled in my chest. They had all come so far. I'd trained fifteen warriors so far... They were all excelling."You're an amazing trainer, Lila." He beamed at me."You are a great warrior... A quick learner." I countered with a smile.He grinned at me, then bowed with a smirk. I snickered, shaking my head. "There are some new wolves arriving today for the centre... will you be meeti
