At dinner time, Devon, Alice, and Lilac sat at the big dinner table. It could accommodate at least fifteen people. It felt a bit empty with just three of them sitting down. The omegas who served the food couldn’t help but glance at Alice when they walked in to set the table. The piercing gaze made Alice uncomfortable. She hung her head low, avoiding eye contact with the curious people. Finally, the dinner table was left with only the three of them. A man stood a few steps behind Devon. He was the only one who didn’t look at her with a surprise gaze. His face remained indifferent. She heard one of the workers calling him Jacob, he like the butler of the house. Alice wondered why he was standing by, and watching them eat. was it a common thing among rich people? she thought.Devon at been staring at Alice from over a minute, she hadn't touched her food. He was about to ask what was wrong but Lilac beat him to it.“Is the food not to your liking?” Lilac asked when she noticed Alice hadn
Shock surged through Alice’s body in an instant, and her heart pumped due to adrenaline. She wanted to make a run for it, but she knew it would be futile. He was blocking her way.He stood towering over Alice. His eyes were golden and his long, dark hair was down below his shoulder. He walked closer to Alice, and she moved back, till her back touched the mirror. A vicious smile spread across his face when he noticed something about Alice.“I’m sure your lover boy can’t help you now, can he?” He started to step, walking closer to her till he was a less than a step away from her.Alice opened her mouth in an attempt to scream, but he went fast into action and covered her mouth.“You love screaming, don’t you?” The smile had disappeared from his face now. Alice tried to free herself from his grip, but it only became firmer.Her eyes fell on the door as a tear escaped her grey eyes. The only person that could save her now was Devon. Where was he?“I just need you to come with me silently
Lilac was on her way out of the house when she saw Kace running up the stairs. “Kace!, what’s chasing you?” She yelled after him but got no answer. She sighed, turning to leave it, but stopped in her tracks.What if something was going on? She thought. She turned around and went grumpily up the stairs.“Just a simple answer would do, but no. I always get ignored by that pup,”” Lilac mumbled as she walked up the stairs.She walked through the hallway and she saw Kace standing in between Devon’s door.“That annoying pup, he is going to get it,” she muttered.Lilac was about to walk into the room to see what was wrong, but she stopped in her tracks when she heard Alice’s words.“He said his name was Ash” Her eyes grew wide instantly, with surprise. Lilac moved back, shaking her head in disbelief. Kace noticed her by this time, but before he could call out to her, lilac turned and ran out of the hallway.Kace stared in bewilderment at the figure of Lilac running away, through the hallway
Ash walked into the witch’s village in the supernatural world. His tanned skin glimmered under the sunlight, his long hair touched his shoulders as he walked. His golden eyes looked around as he walked further.Many curious gazes were on him, but he didn’t care about it one bit.“State your business” one woman blocked his way, stopping him from walking any further.“I’m here to see Hazel,” He responded.“And who may you be?” the woman retorted.“Tell her Ash is here” He smiled at the woman, whose eyes were scrutinizing him from head to toe.“Wait here” The woman said, walking away and coming back a few minutes later. She looked at him for some seconds before gesturing for him to follow her. When they got a house, she opened the door for him to go in.“You can go in,” she said, with a grim look on her face.“Thank you,” Ash replied with an annoying grin on his face.One of the other women, who had been watching and couldn’t keep her curiosity to herself. Ran quickly to meet the woman,
Devon caressed His mate’s face as she slept peacefully, after the whole drama earlier. The sound of her relaxed heartbeat gave him solace. Messy waves of dark, shiny hair surrounded his chiseled face, as he stared at her...He mind-linked his Beta after a while to find out about lilac.[Have you found lilac?] lucas responded to the mind link from his Alpha Supreme immediately.[Yes Alpha, she is in the garden][How is she?][She looks fine, but I think she is still a little shaken up, she said she wanted to be alone.][She will be fine][You can stop looking for Ash now. He is probably long gone already][There is only one person that would know of his whereabouts now Lucas, Hazel]Lucas halted in his steps, which almost caused Kace to bump into him.[Hazel!] [Yes, Hazel. We need to find her.] [But Devon… I don’t think that’s a good idea. She would probably not want to see you.]Devon stared at his mate beside him, with worry lines visible on his face. Devon was ready to do anything
Lilac stood in Devon’s house garden, with no blank expression on her face. She was deep in thought about what she heard earlier. She had no idea why ‘Ash’ would try to harm Alice.“Is something the matter” A female voice brought Lilac out of her reverie. She turned around to see who it was. And found Doris, Lucas’ mate, standing two feet away from her.“Doris!, I’ve missed you” A slight smile spread across Lilac’s face as she walked forward and gave Doris a warm hug. “Are you sure?” Doris asked, breaking the hug. “You haven’t come to say hi since you came back,” she added, pretending to be hurt by that.“I’m so sorry. I was just overwhelmed by things happening in the pack.” Lilac gestured for them to take a seat in the gazebo close by.“Why are you here alone? It’s unlike you,” Doris enquired. It surprised her when she saw lilacs lost in thoughts in the garden. After her talk with Lucas earlier, she had no choice but to look for Lilac.“I just needed to clear my head,” Lilac replied,
“I need a change of clothes,” Alice said nervously.“Oh, I will be right back,” Devon said, attempting to leave the room, but Alice’s hand came out through the bathroom door and stopped him.She looked tense, and he stopped. He looked around and then back at her before he pointed to his closet and she nodded. She came out of the bathroom wearing only a robe and trailed slowly behind Devon.“My bag,” she mumbled, and Devon took her bag out of the closet.She smiled nervously and walked back to the bathroom quickly with her face already the shade of crimson.Devon couldn’t help but smile at his nervous mate. Seeing her in a robe made his beast claw at him to mark her, but Devon fought it.She came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, and Devon ushered both of them out of the bedroom for breakfast.They found Lilac already seated at the table when they came down the stairs.. Her eyes met with Devon’s and she smiled. Alice sat beside Lilac, who smiled at her. They ate in comfortable
Later at night, Alice and Devon stood in his bedroom, as Alice when to the bathroom to change into her nightwear. She came back out to find Devon standing close to the bathroom door.Alice lowered her head and hid it with her hair, which fell from both sides of her face. She felt giddy and nervous when she realized Devon was going to be sleeping next to her.He smiled warmly at her and waltzed close to where stood.“Let’s get some sleep. It’s getting late” Devon grabbed her hand and led her back to the enormous bed. The words “Let’s sleep” alone made Alice’s heart rate increase rapidly, her nervousness increasing. She stopped in her tracks and looked anxiously at him.The man, who she knew for not even up to a week. They were sharing the same bed already. The thing that made her confused the most was that he was ready to protect her from any harm. Devon gave Alice a feeling of safety that she hadn’t had for a long time.And there was also an electric-like spark between them that she
