Blake's POV:I watched as an array of emotions flickered across Lily's face. Initially, there had been disbelief, then a hint of fear, and then she repelled my presence simply because I was a werewolf... An ache started from deep in my stomach, I turned away as tears welled up in my eyes because rejection was the worst fear an Alpha faced.The torment etched on her delicate features broke my heart; it shattered something deep within me. I had just revealed my true self—the werewolf inside me—to Lily, along with our precious twins we had lovingly created together four years ago. But instead of understanding or acceptance, her eyes now held a mixture of terror and confusion."Lily, please," I pleaded, my voice thick with emotion while I followed her to the door she walked to, "I never wanted to scare you. The mate bond is the tie that ties our destiny and I can't control how I feel about you." I tried to explain.But she shook her head, her dark curls trembling around her face. "I can't
Blake's POV:I immediately pulled away from Lily's lips as my heartbeat increased… more rogues were coming, but why? I looked at the horizon and the sun had completely set, leaving the half moon and stars shining bright in the sky."Fuck," I groaned in agitation at the incoming trespassers because I knew that they could be more dangerous in the dark to Lily as she can't see as well as I could.She scowled while crossing her arms across her chest with heavy breathing."Excuse me for kissing you, but you don't have to be grumpy about it," she gently wiped her palm against her lips, removing any trace of my saliva I left on her. Intrigued at her assumptions of why I cursed out loud, I furrowed my brows and narrowed my gaze at her."I didn't say fuck to the kiss, we are under attack that's why," I explained myself while lightly stroking her face and she gasped with wide eyes."Ar… are you saying more of your people are coming for me?" She stuttered nervously while color drained from her b
Lily's POV:My heart raced as I looked into Blake's intense eyes after he saved me from the bad wolves...My lips, itched for more of his as I still felt the lingering passion from my initiated kiss I gave him to say thank you for saving my life because, without him, my kids would have grown up without a mother in this cruel unforgiving world…I admit, I immediately felt drawn to Blake like a moth to a flame... All I could think about was how he had just saved me from the clutches of the dangerous rogues in his territory like a fairy tale. But sadly, he broke off the kiss and cursed, leaving me feeling confused and hurt.Did he not like me kissing him? I frowned looking straight into his eyes for why he cursed our kiss.And as Blake explained himself, the presence of more rogues and his need to hide my human scent from them erupted, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of apprehension and fascination for the superficial world I yearned to live…Yes, I also admit that Blake's world felt s
Lily's POV:"Lily, they are fine with my mother, calm down," Blake answered back, gently rubbing my back in a soothing manner. I sighed softly while momentarily forgetting that we were naked in a room where we created our twins during our drunken sexcapade.Oh, shit! Moments of our blurry drunken sexcapade flooded my mind, as I questioned if Blake had taken advantage of me once again. "Blake, did we do anything while I was out?" I stuttered nervously while avoiding his gaze and he scoffed."Not this time around," he answered back in a husky voice, I sighed softly feeling relief..."What a crazy twist of events," I murmured while resting my head on his shoulder, and I paid attention to his racing heartbeat. I frowned slightly.Am I making him feel all this? I stole secret glances at him and damn did he look a glorious clean mess when he walked out of the shower… I sighed softly while taking in his aftershave, my core knotted with desire hence I licked my lips, relieving the amazing ki
Blake's POV:I sighed heavily while I took in the scent of my human mate who lay unconscious on my bed as the doctor hooked up a third IV pack of blood into her veins because she had lost a lot of blood during the rogues and Luminara raid."Doctor, is Lily going to wake up anytime soon?" I tapped my leg on the floor as I stood in the corner of my bedroom watching him very carefully perform his duty diligently.The doctor, packed up his equipment in his doctor's bag and stood up while maintaining eye contact with me," Yes Alpha, she will wake up but I can't tell what time exactly she will," he answered back in a respectful tone and I sighed heavily."Okay, you may leave if your job is done here," I said in a commanding voice, the doctor bowed slightly before walking out of the room, and in walked Mother, looking ever-posied and elegant."Luna Smith," The doctor bowed at her as he walked passed her, and she nodded once without taking her eyes off me.The doctor walked out and closed the
Lily's POV:"Good morning Lily," Mrs Smith stuttered while stopping in her tracks with narrowed eyes the minute she saw me naked on her son's bed.I looked down, embarrassment swallowing me whole while I covered my private areas with my palms. "Good morning ma'am," I tried to swallow but a huge lump filled my throat… why the heck did Blake even allow her enter when he knew I wasn't decent enough to face someone like her? I took short breaths in and out while I blinked owlishly because of distress."Indeed it looks like a good morning," Mrs Smith sneered while darting between Blake and me, " Anyway, seeing that you are fine, can I see you downstairs in five minutes?" She raised a question in a calm voice and my heart skipped a beat.What was it she wanted to see me about this early morning? I mulled deeply while I evaded her inquisitive stare then I suddenly remembered the twins who had been in her care ever since we arrived here.Shit!Where are the twins giving her trouble? I wasted
Lily's POV:An hour later, I sat nervously in the elegant yet imposing study of Luna Smith, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness while my mind kept reeling back to my heated moment of passion with Blake in the bathroom….'Ah, Lily, you taste so good,' Blake's husky voice echoed in the back of my mind while I felt his lips and hands roam around my body... My body shuddered deliciously at the thought.Blake and I had kissed, touched, and stroked each other to full pleasure for 45 minutes or so in the shower but surprisingly held back on penetrative sex…Why, you ask?Well, I have no proper explanation for that as studying each other's pleasure spots on our bodies was more exhilarating than sex itself... I sighed softly as I still reflected on how delicate his hands were when pleasing my samosa. I squeezed my legs together."Ahem, are you with me Lily?" Luna Smith's poised voice boomed my the back of my mind, bringing me back to reality. My eyes flickered whil
Blake's POV:"Welcome back, Alpha," my three elders stood up from their seats and greeted me with a bow."Thank you, please take your seats," I gestured for them to take their seats and they all sat down while I walked to my chair with a poker face.I took my place at the grand council table, flanked by my three trusted elders whose gazes bore onto me. The tension in the room was palpable as their piercing gazes bored into me, obviously demanding answers as to why I up and left when I needed to provide them with more answers about my fated human. I sighed heavily and began the meeting, "Good morning Elders," I greeted them with steady eye contact and they bobbed their heads in unison."Good morning Alpha, I hope you are now well rested after the week-long vacation you took," Edina exasperated a sigh of sarcasm, I glared at her for insubordination while clenching my fists...How dare she think she could talk to me like that just because I came back with my human mate… "As a matter of
