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
Alice’s request surprised Devon. He remained quiet for almost a minute, rubbing his fingers on his chin like he was thinking about what to do.“Are you sure you want to see it?” Devon asked gruffly. He knew he might scare her, and he didn’t want her to be scared of him. He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to show her his wolf form. He remembered Kace saying something about how she could see them, even thought they hid their wolf form from human . But he still didn’t want her to be distant from him.But in all honesty, he felt happy that she desired it, even though he couldn't comprehend why she asked for it in that manner..A wide grin which showed his perfectly aligned white teeth appeared on his face. This made Alice gaze at him in almost a daze. The smile was almost contagious, but Alice stopped herself from smiling at that moment. She was preparing herself mentally for what he says going to transform to.“Do you really want to see my wolf form?” Devon asked again to make sure,
Alice’s eyes grew wide in surprise at the sudden outburst of the wolf. She dropped her hands down and covered her ears. The growl was so loud that it sent shivers down Alice’s spine. The next second felt unreal to Alice. All she knew was that Devon pounced on her. She closed her eyes, afraid of the impact that would smash her body in an instant.However, what she felt was the Wolf’s soft purr on the skin of her arm. She opened her eyes slowly to see what was happening, and Devon let out another ferocious growl. Alice crawled down the bed afraid, she didn’t understand what was happening. She walked towards the door frantically and stumbled when she heard another ferocious growl come from behind her.She turned around to see where it was coming from and lo and behind a wolf as big as Devon with black fur stood behind. The next second the room door burst open and Lilac stood in between the door, gazing with worry etched on her face.Devon turned to Lilac, and there was a communication b
“Ash! Let her go now!” Devon growled his name out again. His deep voice was deadly. It was full of threats and warnings.Despite Devon’s threat and the fingers squeezing his neck tightly, Ash didn’t relent and still held Alice in a tight grip. Alice could feel his sharp claws piercing her neck slowly and at that moment she feared for her life. She knew he could snap her neck easily if he wanted to. Her wandered to Devon's face and he looked more feral and vicious than ever.A sneer escaped Ash's mouth. “I don’t plan on doing so,” He said with a mocking tone. And Devon strangled him even more.The expression on Ash’s face changed and the next second he was gone, like he was never been there. Kace, Lucas, and Lilac let out a big release of breath when he was gone.Kace couldn’t help but whisper to Lucas, “Where is he now? Is he gone for good?”.“No” Lucas shook his head. “He might be anywhere, He can come back at anytime". Devon's men arrived in the room and Lucas gestured for them to
Alice looked at Devon, who stopped what he was doing. She wondered what was wrong. Devon dropped his hand from the doorknob and turned to Lilac out, who stood a few feet away from them. Lilac forward and asked what was wrong “What’s going on Devon?” “I need you to stay here with Alice,” He replied to her, and she nodded. Devon turned to look at his mate and gave her an assuring smile before walking out of the room. Alice attempted to follow him out but Lilac stopped by holding her arm lightly.“He will be back, don’t worry,” she assured her brother’s mate.“Why can’t we leave?” Devon asked as soon as he saw Lucas.“Kace just informed me about the shapeshifters attacking the packs around our territory,” Lucas replied in a downcast tone.“What! Ash cant be doing this alone? Someone must be helping him,” Devon said, and Lucas thought of someone.“Alpha, do you think Alpha Raphael may be involved?” “Raphael, I don’t think so. He might be against me, but he wouldn’t try something like
Alice stood uncomfortably behind Devon throughout the meeting. She couldn’t avoid the piercing gazes of the Alphas of the other packs. They gazed at Alice in bewilderment, with curiosity etched on their faces. This made Alice really uncomfortable.“The recent attacks on the Packs were planned and came at an unexpected time!” One of the Alpha, who Alice learned was Alpha victor said.“We aren’t safe in our homes anymore and they easily got past our men at the western border, ‘’ Another Alpha added ."The vampires may be involved in the Attacks, we need to show them their place" Alpha Victor said and all the Alphas started giving their opinions causing the entire conference room to be really noisy.“Stop!” Devon said in a cold, calm but warning voice and the conference room became silent, a pin could be heard dropping. The Alphas couldn’t help but bend their head in submission, when they heard Devon’s authoritative command. No one wanted to get on Alpha Devon’s bad side.“We apologize Su
