"I-I thought he killed y-you."She hid her face in his bare chest. She felt his warm body. How could a man's body still be so warm after coming from such a cold weather like this?She hugged him tightly. He did not hug her back but she did not care.She was so scared that the beast would slay Everett.After a while, she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her back. He hugged her back.She felt like she was in the safest place in the world. Since he came back, she was not afraid of anything now. With him, she felt safe.She kept sobbing. Her nose brushed on his chest and she blushed. She came back to her senses. She moved a little and saw his chest pressing with her face.She felt embarrassed. She tried to move totally but his hands were like made of iron. He did not move his arms a little bit."I am sorry." She said and sobbed again."Why?"His raspy voice gave her chills."For this."She was talking about the hug. His chest was soaked with her tears. She talked about that too.When
"He will not hurt you until you forget that you are my slave and try to escape from me."Delilah was bewildered. The fear of death spread in her heart."What do you mean?" She asked as she moved a little bit towards him."Just don't forget who you are now. Just because you are working outside that doesn't mean you will start to dream about building a home outside." He replied and opened his eyes.He turned his head to her. The room was dark. But they could see each other's faces. Their eyes met."I don't understand what you are saying?" She whispered.His eyes scanned her face as if his eyes were caressing her face.She averted his dark eyes. "Master, don't go outside at night. Don't come late. I almost died last night."He did not reply to her. She glanced at him. Moonlight fell on their faces. The way moonlight glittered on his face, she wanted to stroke his cheeks."Master"When he did not answer she continued,"What happened to your cheeks?"His dark eyes became colder. She beca
'What will I do now??? I am in my heat!'She was lucky to have the necklace. She was an Omega and in her heat her pheromones would have spread everywhere if she did not wear that necklace. It enclosed her scent from others."Hey! Where are you going?" Delilah turned around and saw an old lady coming towards her.There were a few boxes in the lady's hands. She understood that the lady was a saleswoman going back to her home. But it was a remote area."Grandma, I am in a hurry.""What are you saying? You are going to a path that our villagers can not enter."Delilah frowned. "What do you mean?""Don't you know it's taboo for us to go to this forest? It's not under our kingdom.""What Kingdom? What are you saying, Grandma? Please let me go. I can't stay anymore."Delilah felt her body start to get weaker. She made her way to the forest.The lady stopped her by grabbing her hand."Young girl. Don't act bold. You are very young and beautiful. You can't go inside the forest. What if the be
Her body shuddered with fear as she realized who was standing in front of her.She started to shake her head and felt scared. "Please don't kill me, please let me go."As if he didn't want to hear her at all, he slowly stepped towards her.She tried to see his face but could not see him at all in the darkness except his glowing eyes.She tried to run away.She cursed herself for coming here too late. She should not have been so late. 'I am sorry, Everett. I should have listened to you. You told me to come back home before the evening. I didn't listen to you. Please help me from the beast. I will always listen to you, I promise.' She whispered to herself.She kept running until she heard,"How long will you run like that?"She stopped and turned to the side where the voice was coming from. She saw a silhouette leaning against a tree.A bright smile scrambled on her lips. It was Everett's voice.She did not think much and hugged the man."Everett. I am sorry."She forgot to call him '
Everett,He was the beast of this forest. The beast everyone was afraid of, the beast Delilah always tried to run away from in fear.He was caressing her body with his lustful eyes.She wanted that although he warned her.It was she who wanted to get harmed by him, destroyed by him fully. Otherwise, he was controlling and resisting his inner beast all these times.Both of his cheeks were burning. Those scratches on his cheeks were not any simple scratches. Every time his wolf took over him, like a curse, they burned. Whoever saw him, either lost their consciousness or lost humanity. Some of them even got the courage and tried to kill him but little did they know, he was not a simple Alpha or other ranks like them but a beast, A Lycan.His power and strength were unmatchable. He was enough to rule all the packs alone. But he had his own reasons for living in the forest. No one knew how long he had been staying there or how long he would stay there. However, it was not a rumor but
"Wait."Delilah looked down at his hand which was grabbing her wrist."Y-Yes?"She asked shyly. He stood up. She did not look at him but looked at the floor while pushing her hair strands behind her hair. She was actually nervous.She was not in her senses last night. But she remembered everything in the morning.He made her sit down on the couch and went somewhere.She looked perplexed. Where was he going?He came back with a box from the kitchen. He took a box and put out an ointment, then gave it to her.She took the ointment. She realized it was the ointment for bruises on the skin. She thanked him.He nodded and left the house.She stared at his back when he left."Where does he go? He likes to stay out all the time." She mumbled and pouted.She was happy that he did not raise last night's matter. It would have felt awkward to talk about that.She bit on some fruit and stood up.She moved to the kitchen while limping.She placed food on the table and went to the door.She opened
Her eyes moved from his eyes and fell on his cheeks. She narrowed her eyes. Those scratches looked like fresh wounds. She lifted up her hand to touch his cheek. But he grabbed her hand. "Have you forgotten what I warned you last night?"She hissed in pain. She felt a pain in her wrist. He left her hand. He was about to turn to the other side but stopped when he saw her neck and collarbone.He left so many traces there. Her sleeveless hand was full of hickies as if some hungry beast sucked her skin alive.He tightened his fist, thinking about last night.She noticed his reaction and hid her neck with her hair.He closed his eyes and sighed."I am going back." She mumbled and went to the way from where she just came.She began to walk but felt him behind her. She turned her head and saw him following her.She blushed and focused on her way.Was he concerned about her? They went back home. "Let's have lunch." Delilah said and headed to the table."First go and change your dress.""H
"What is your connection with the beast? How do you know him? How can you live here in his kingdom without having any problems?"Everett stared at Delilah. She could see his eyes turned grimace and he tightened his jaw.Did he retain himself from something? Would he hit her?She held her breath when he got down from the bed.He moved toward her. His wet hair gave him a hot look. He looked like a Greek God. Fair skin with black hair, and his cloth was tight on his muscles. He stood in front of her. She lowered her head."Tell me one thing. Why are you keep talking about a man who you don't even know?""Huh?" She looked up at him.He came close to her and she stepped back. Her back met the wall behind her, beside the window."Why are you so interested in knowing about him?"She tried to understand his questions. He was right. In those few weeks, no matter how much she tried to forget, there was something that pulled her attention to the beast. She did not know him and he did not even
Delilah stepped towards the stage. She was feeling very nervous. Today was her wedding to King Everett. The whole kingdom was waiting to celebrate the ceremony. It took her three whole months to become a perfectly trained Queen. She learned many things about royalty. She learned how to fight and defend. She learned royal manners and etiquette, everything. Though she was an omega, surprisingly, after Everett marked her, she became powerful. Amanda said that she was getting Everett's power and strength since they were now mates. With slow steps, she went to the center of the stage beside her groom, King Everett. "Do you, King Everett Wilson, accept Delilah Ashlyn as your wife and Queen?" "Yes, I do." "Do you, Delilah Ashlyn, accept King Everett as your husband and King?" "Yes, I do." All the people who came to witness the beautiful wedding cheered up. "You two may kiss now." The priest said. Everett turned to Delilah. He took her hand and kissed the back of her hand, which
Delilah said goodbye to Alpha and Luna as she got into the carriage. She did not want to go back to Everett's kingdom, but he warned her that he would destroy everything if she did not go with him.Though it was just a deal, it was not a lie that Alpha Elias and his family really cared about her all those two months. They did not let her feel a lack of anything."I will miss you all." She whispered from the door.Luna cried for Delilah because she was attached to her for two months. Everett got into the carriage and closed the door. The carriage started to move forward, leaving the area of the pack house. There were two other carriages giving security to the king's carriage, which was in the middle.The front carriage was for Jake and Havana and the back arranged was for Luke and Conor.Delilah looked outside through the window.She was really upset. She was forced to go back to where she did not want to go.Though she was shocked when she heard that Everett would make her his que
The next day Deliah was at the pack house.When she heard about Everett's visit yesterday, she became restless. She could not even sleep last night.All night she only thought about Everett. Why would he come to visit her pack? Was it related to what he told her at the royal party?Yesterday she asked Alpha and Luna if there was anything serious that King Everett would have to come since they had just come from his party.Alpha and Luna told her that it was their fortune that King Everett was coming to visit. They could not question the king.Delilah sighed as she looked in the mirror. She was wearing a long white gown. It looked good on her. But it was decorated well. Not with stones but with pricey fabric. She was wondering why she was getting so many expensive clothes to wear. That royal party night dress also looked costly. She was astounded that Alpha Elias was wasting too much money on her. A maid came to her room and knocked on the door. Delilah opened the door. "I came to
Havana left after talking with Delilah. Delilah was stunned by whatever Havana told her.She looked around to see Everett but he was nowhere.A maid came to Delilah and bowed to her."Hello, young miss."Delilah remembered that maid. She was one of the maids who tried to insult her because of her clothes when she came to the palace with Everett for the first time."Yes?""Lady Amanda is asking for you.""Lady Amanda?" "The king's grandmother.""Oh."Delilah did not know Everett's grandmother's name. So she could not recognize her when the maid told her the name."This way."The maid gestured with her hand and Delilah nodded her head.They went another way and came out to the main hallway. They went upstairs from the backside so that others could not see them.They went to Amanda's room. The maid opened the door and signaled her to enter.Delilah looked inside first to see if the grandmother was truly inside or not. When she saw Amanda sitting on the bed she smiled and entered."Gran
"Let's dance since the king has to dance first with his woman."Delilah was stricken dumb. "What do you mean?"He did not reply to her and dragged her with him to the dance floor where soft music was playing for the king to start the dance.Everett placed her left hand on his shoulder and grabbed her right hand with his right hand.She felt him placing his left hand on her waist slowly and then pulling her to him.She looked into his eyes and followed his steps."I didn't know you knew how to dance." She said."I had to learn many things in the last two months.""Good to hear that." She said and averted her gaze from him.She felt nervous under his gaze. Everyone was looking at them. They did not know who Delilah was but they thought she was one of the Alphas' daughter. Many Alpha's felt disappointed because this was the first dance that declared who the woman was. So that meant their daughters lost their chances.Many women glared at Delilah. Some of them felt jealous of her and so
Delilah could not let her eyes off from Everett. She always thought of cutting his hair. She knew he would look good but that much good, she had never thought of. Everyone's reaction was the same as Delilah's. They could not look away from his handsome face.Delilah could see there were no scratches on his cheeks. So clean and fair.When Everett was coming down, Delilah felt that her heart beat was getting fast. She tightened her jaw and looked away from him.Delilah could see other Alpha and their families. So many young and beautiful girls came to attend the royal party just to meet the king.Delilah saw pleasure in those girls' eyes when they looked at Everett as if he was their dreamy boy.Of course, they were pleased. Their parents might take them to introduce them to the king. It was not a secret that the king would take a queen for himself soon. So it was a great chance for them and their daughters.Delilah glanced at Everett. Many Alphas went to him and introduced their famil
TWO MONTHS LATER Everything had changed in Delilah's life. Now she was living in her old pack. She was staying with the Alpha's family in the pack house. In those two months, she never felt any need because before thinking about anything the Alpha arranged everything for her.Delilah was quite surprised about Alpha's behavior. Because why would anyone be so happy to let her stay with them?Luna was also a good woman. She adored Delilah and told her that she could think of her as her mother.Delilah's step parents were in prison for trying to sell Delilah. When Delilah came back to this pack, the Alpha already punished her step parents for that."How are you feeling now?"Delilah heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw Alpha Simon. Simon was Alpha Elias's son. He was soon to be head Alpha of the pack.Since Delilah started to stay in the pack house, they became good friends.Simon was a few months older than Delilah. "I am fine." Delilah replied."I don't think so." He
The war was over. The palace and outside of the palace were stirred up. Everyone shifted back and went back to their places.Delilah was in Amanda's room.Amanda was crying while looking out at the widow. Her shaking hand was grabbing the white blind. She was an old woman. She could not take so much happening. It was true that her son Alfred killed her elder son Ezra. Her daughter in law was the one who was behind everything. Her grandson Maverick was not a good person, he wanted to kill Everett and almost succeeded once.If Everett killed them, it was his right to take revenge and Amanda did not oppose it. However, she was also a mother. She was not like Azenia, who only loved her one son. Amanda loved both of her sons but she was a strong Queen in her time. She could not let others be wronged.Delilah put her hand on Amnada's shoulder."Grandma."Amanda touched her hand and cried a lot."When your grandfather was alive, we lived a good life. Everett's father was from a different r
"I will mark your woman. Let's see how you will win over me after that."The moment Maverick's canine touched Delilah's neck, Maverick fell a push and fell on the ground."AAAAHHH"He groaned in pain. Blood rolled down from his canines. Delilah glanced at her bracelet. She remembered how that wizard told him that whenever any male wolf tried to get close to her, it would protect her.So he meant that. Whenever someone tried to mark her, it would save her.Delilah felt relieved when the bracelet actually protected her. She saw Everett go to Maverick and pulled him up. He clawed Maverick's cheek and it started to burn."AAAHHH! It's burning!"Maverick cried out in pain. All the wolves under Everett stepped back from Maverick.They could have killed Maverick the moment he came outside, but it was Everett's order not to kill Queen Ezenina, not her husband, not even her son. Because he would kill them, not anyone else. So they only attacked Maverick and did not try to kill him."MAVERICK!
