"P-Please, D-Don't c-come near m-me."Everett's frowning brows ceased a little. He gazed at her back for a moment. His lips parted to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.He turned around and left the room without saying anything.Delilah heard the sound of the closing door.She turned around and looked at the empty room. She slid down against the wall and pulled her knees close to her chest.She felt betrayed. All this time he was making fun of her. His friends also made fun of her. They made her life a joke.She trusted him and stayed with him. She tried her best to impress him. She thought he had become her family. She cared for him and thought the beast was someone else. She almost got a heart attack the night when Everett was not at home and she heard loud growls. That night she realized what she felt about him. She thought the beast would kill him, but what was she thinking? The beast was he himself.That face! Those eyes!Everything came to her mind again, she felt
"I will escape from him. I will escape from the beast."She was about to open the door when she heard Conor."Calling him a beast doesn't suit you, Delilah. Wasn't you the one who always cooked for that beast when he did not eat anything? Wasn't you the one who always bought something for him whenever you went to the village market? Wasn't you the one who always cared for him?"Delilah's hand trembled a little. Her red nose and swollen eyes could not look worse.She closed her eyes to let tears roll down again. How did he know that? Her hand backed up from the lock."He is a lonely beast who everyone is afraid of. But you are the only person who was able to stay with him, in the same house, in the same room. He has never let anyone give this right before. He never hurt you. How can you just call him a beast?"Delilah sobbed while listening to Conor.She could not forget his look when his eyes and cheeks turned to burn. But Conor was right. He never tried to hurt her."Didn't your mat
"Are you okay? How are you feeling right now?"Delilah asked the patient named Jenica.She was taking deep breaths as she nodded her head. Delilah injected the tonic inside her body. She felt better. A few minutes ago, when Delilah came to check on her, Delilah saw Jenica was trying to take a breath but she was having problems breathing. Blood lumps were visible on her full body.Delilah remembered what she read a week ago in the report. She got some knowledge about this disease too. So she tried her best to handle the situation. To her surprise, when she ran to call Miss Winters she was busy with another patient and told her to handle the situation by herself.Delilah had to do something that her mind told her at that moment. Fortunately, she really did her homework as she memorized every potion.It was kind of shocking that she got a big brain. She did not have to think twice before using any potion.Jenica felt relieved when her body calmed down. "Thank you." She said to Delilah
"You are just like others."Delilah was bewildered by what he was saying. He left the kitchen and was about to leave the house."W-What?" She stuttered as she came out of the kitchen while following him.He stopped and turned around. He took a step forward towards her. She took a step backward seeing that."Didn't you ask me not to come near you?" He asked. His steps never halted.Her back pressed against a wall. She turned her head and saw the wall behind her. The moment she turned back her head she gasped.Everett had already come close to her. "I have come near you. Now, what will you do about it, huh?"She was speechless. She was afraid to look at him as she looked at his chest.She frowned when she saw scratches there too. She heard him say, "You wanted to escape, didn't you?"Her eyes widened upon hearing that. 'How did he know? Did Conor tell him everything that she told him?' She thought.He let her answer. But she looked like a scared kitten in front of the big bad wolf.
Delilah opened the cabinet and took out one of the gowns she bought a few weeks ago from the village market.It was a purple colored simple long dress. She never wore colorful dresses after coming here. But since they were going to the Royal Palace, she should dress up well.She went downstairs and saw Everett talking with the old man."I believe she will be fine." Everett said. He glanced at the staircase and looked at her.Delilah looked away from him and strolled towards him."I am ready, let's go." Delilah said and stood beside Everett."Please."The old man said and signaled them with his right hand to the carriage outside.Delilah got up to the carriage. Everett also got up and sat opposite her.The carriage looked bigger from the outside, but inside, it was a small space. They were sitting very close to each other. Everett's knees slightly brushed her knees when the carriage started to move forward.Delilah ignored the touch and looked outside from the window.The fresh wind
Delilah slowly turned her head to Everett and whispered,"Prince?"She could not believe her ear. 'He is a prince? A prince of this kingdom? No, no. How can it be possible? He lives in the forest. If he is a prince, then what was he doing in the forest when he had the kingdom?'She saw Everett looking at the man with his dark eyes. Then the man raised and cleared his throat. Then asked,"Did you have to face any problems while coming here?" Everett looked away and shook his head. The man nodded but then his eyes fell on Delilah."Who is she?" He asked Everett.Delilah immediately lowered her head. Before Everett could speak, she heard another voice."Everett, my son."Delilah raised her head and saw a woman in a royal gown coming down the stairs. She looked gorgeous and her appearance was telling that she was someone powerful there.Delilah did not need to think about her. The crown on her head was telling her that she was the queen.The queen came down and walked to Everett.She
"Have you ever seen his wolf?"Delilah parted her lips but then zipped them immediately. She looked away from her.Everett's grandmother looked at Delilah with a pair of doubtful eyes. "Is your silence telling the answer? Is it yes?"Delilah lowered her head and nodded slightly.She heard a gasp. She looked at Everett's grandmother and saw her wide eyes."H-He l-let you see his w-wolf?" Grandmother stuttered, kind of asking lowly as if someone would listen to her.Delilah stared at grandmother and thought about how to answer her. Should she tell her the truth?She shook her head when her mind reminded her of Everett's angry look. He would not like that for sure."There was a situation when I saw his wolf." Delilah replied to her.Grandmother's eyes became teary, her face turned bright."Come here, my child. Come to grandma."Delilah slowly went to sat beside her.Grandma patted her head and said,"You don't know how big the matter is."Delilah was confused. "What do you mean, grandma?
"Everett, Tell me the truth. Do you like her?"Grandma scanned Everett's expression. Like burning in fire, he looked furious."If you don't, then how come you let her stay with you? You even showed her your wolf? Whoever had seen your wolf never came back alive. Then what is so special about her that made you change your mind?""You are talking too much, old woman. Did you forget who I am? Or are you confusing me with your other grandson?"Everett's cold voice echoed throughout the whole room. Grandma chuckled. "Silly boy. Who are you? Who do you think of yourself?""Beast."Grandma shook her head. "Stop calling yourself a beast. You are just a different rank from others, not a beast.""Why? Didn't others call your son the same? A beast?"Grandma looked away from him. A tear rolled down her cheek. "You are still thinking about him?""Do you want me to forget him?"Grandma shook her head and wiped her tears. Her hand grabbed Everett's attention. A few blood clots were visible in her s
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!
