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
"W-What is your rank?"She waited for his reply but never got it.She turned her head to his face and saw his closing eyes."Are you asleep?"She asked. How could a sleeping person answer her?She sighed and tried to sleep too.Tonight they built a step forward. They talked simply for a long time. He had never answered her like that before. Today his mood might be really good.She slept with a smile on her face. After some time, the man beside him opened his orange eyes.Those eyes were empty. Everett stared at the ceiling blankly for a long time. She just asked about his rank.His rank? He was a mysterious creature that others were afraid of.He was full of curses.What would happen if she got to know about him? He did not let others stay in his forest. Letting them enter his house was something impossible.This girl bumped into him that night for the first time and he let her go. He let her stay alive because she looked frightened yet hopeless.He felt that she had nowhere to go
"Don't take me wrong. But since you are an Omega and you two are in an intimate relationship, he should have marked you already."'Mark?' All the color of her face drained. 'Will he ever mark me? No, he is my master. I can not think too much about it. Stop it, Delilah. Don't listen to anyone.' She convinced herself no to assume things that would never happen.She wanted to reply to Lily but the door opened and a nervous Conor entered."You are here! I was searching for you everywhere." He said to Delilah but then he turned his head to Lily.He realized Lily was also in the room."Lily""Sir." Lily bowed to Conor.She was shocked by how informally Conor was talking with Delilah."Lily, can you check the patient in cabin no. 3? He is feeling nauseated, and the nurse in that cabin will give you his report."Lily glanced at Delilah and then at Conor. She nodded at Conor and left the room.The moment she left, Conor closed the door."What happened?" Delilah asked."Wear this right now."Co
"The wizard I talked about,He is my brother."Delilah was shocked. "Aunt, are you serious?""I know you will not believe me.""No, I can believe you. Can you tell me more about it? About the man whom your brother is helping currently?"The woman looked startled. "W-Why do you want to know about him? I thought you would ask about my brother since I was talking about him."Delilah eased her expression. "I was just curious."That woman scrutinized her. "You are not from this village, are you?"Delilah was silent. The woman cleared her throat. "This is it, dear. I can't tell you more."Delilah nodded and left. The woman's eyes looked grim after Delilah left."Who is she? I need to ask my brother. But how can I enter the forest without his permission? Did he really give a normal girl my brother's locket? Why? I can't go now, he will kill me if he gets to know that I met her."—Delilah talked with everyone at lunch time. Today she had lunch with others in the canteen."Where were you y
"I-I saw my m-mate."Delilah did not feel any movement from his body. She slightly moved her head and looked up at him.He looked indifferent. She moved back from him."I saw my mate."She said to him again."So?"He asked as if he did not care or as if it was not a big deal at all for him.She was startled. "I saw my mate, Everett."Hearing his name, he glared at her. She shook her head. Was it a time for him to get angry? She was talking about something serious, wasn't she?"Where did you see him?" He asked.Delilah bit her lower lip. "He was with a woman in the village market and-""Oh, so are you upset because your mate was with another woman?""No. She is his fiancee."Everett stared at her for a moment. He sighed."So you are feeling sad that he has a fiancee, otherwise you would be happy if he was single and waited for you."Delilah shook her head. "No. Why are you saying this? You are misunderstanding me.""Really?" He asked as he stepped close to her."Doesn't everyone wait f
"Because I have someone in my mind. I want to be with him only."He bent his neck close to her face."Who?"She stared at him without replying to him. She felt his hand grabbing her neck slowly."I asked who?"She closed her eyes. "I can't tell you."He let go of her neck and scrutinized her face. "Go to bed and stop dreaming of what can't happen." He said and left the house.She did not open her eyes but tightened her fists. Her heart was running fast.Did he get to know about her feelings for him?What did he mean by not dreaming? Was it impossible to fall for him?Delilah opened her eyes and looked at the empty house. She did not go to the bedroom. She sat on the couch. She did not long for go to bed.She was totally okay until she met her mate. Why did he follow her? What was his motive? Didn't he have a fiancée?So many questions kept playing on her mind. She tried to sleep on the couch.She looked at the wooden ceiling and started to think about Everett."Where are you? Where
"You broke my rule. I hate it when someone touches me and you dare to do that.""Accept my apology, let me go. My hand!"She whimpered and tried to break free from him. He let go of her hand and sat up. She looked at her hand.Her wrist had gotten red. She massaged it and glanced at Everett.He got down from the bed and went to the bathroom. Delilah waited for him to come out so that she could go and freshen up.After Everett, she washed up. When she went downstairs, she saw Everrtt's friends."Hi." She greeted them and they greeted her back.She made breakfast and all of them had it. Every weekend, Everett's friends came to visit Everett.After breakfast, Everett was going out with his three friends but Delilah stopped him."Can I go outside?"Everett turned to her. "Where?""Out of the forest.""No. Stay inside the house. Don't come out today." Everett replied with his cold voice.Delilah did not know why he told her to stay alone. As if something would happen if she went outside
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!
