"I can never mark you as my mate."Delilah almost lost her breath. "W-Why?"Her hands on his cheeks trembled.He smiled at her sadly. "I told you, it is not easy."She took a deep breath and replied,"Why can't you mark me?"He held her wrists softly and moved them from his cheeks."There is a reason that I can't tell you right now."Delilah tried to gather herself up when she saw his soft eyes. She knew it was not easy at all. How could she live without a mark?How could she live without a mate bond?The mate bond was like something everyone wanted, whether it was by fate or by choice. She shuddered inside. Just when she thought all the distance between them was over and she could be his mate to stay with him forever, he said something that broke her totally.What would she do now?She had to live like an unmated Omega!What about her wolf? How could her wolf live without a mark?"I can't leave you so if I need to live as an unmated omega, then okay. It is not something that I can
"Let me show you where I always go."Delilah was surprised. Was he going to take her to see his secret places?She nodded at him. She saw him taking her some other way where she had never gone before.After some time of walking, Delilah saw a few people from afar.She gasped and grabbed his wrist.He stopped and turned around to her. "What happened?""Some people are there." She pointed at the side of him.She remembered how some men attacked him."There is nothing to be scared of." He assured her and pulled her with him to that side.When they went there. All the men bowed to Everett.Delilah looked shocked. They glanced at her and looked stunned. "She is Delilah. My woman. Always remember her face and never try to harm her. She will be here anytime from today. No one is allowed to talk to her or hurt her."Delilah blushed when she heard that.Suddenly, the man who had thrown the stake at her before came to her and asked for forgiveness."Please forgive this poor man. Because of my
"I AM THINKING ABOUT VISITING THE VILLAGE. HOPE YOU ARE WORKING WELL. GET READY WITH ALL THE INFORMATION."Lily's hands started to tremble. She instantly put the envelope inside the bag. She glanced at the man."Go away fast before Doctor Conor catches you. Otherwise, he will kill you."The man nodded and left.Lily was sweating in fear. "What will I do now?"She asked herself and left the room hurriedly. Meanwhile, Delilah went to her shift. She became a well known nurse for her sweet behavior and beautiful appearance.When it was break time, Delilah went to the canteen and saw Ron."Hi." "Hi, Delilah."Ron never talked rudely to her although she broke his heart. As he said, they were still friends. "How is your day going?" Ron asked as he ordered food for him."Good. Everything is going well." Delilah replied and ordered her food too.They sat at a table with their food and started to talk."You look happy nowadays. What happened?""Well, nothing."Delilah could not tell others
Delilah looked at the woman and said,"Take your medicine carefully. Thanks for your information."Then Delilah left the cabin. Conor came behind her."Don't listen to her. She is just angry at him because of her brother."Delilah nodded. "I can understand. But why doesn't he set her brother free? Should I talk to him?""NO."Delilah stopped and turned to him. "Why?""It's because of that man's mate. His mate gave Everett curses. Now he is paying for it."Delilah raised her brows. "Can you tell me about it more, Conor?" She asked softly.Conor nodded at him. Though it was a confidential matter of Everett, since he showed her his secret places and called her his woman, then she had a right to know about him."Let's go somewhere else to talk. We can not talk here." He replied and looked around them. Doctors and nurses were passing while bowing at him."Okay." Delilah agreed and they went to the park that merged with the hospital.A few kids were playing there. Delilah looked at them an
In the Kingdom,A man was breaking things inside his bedroom."How can that beast get a woman again?" He shouted in anger."Just a few more days. Then I will manage that woman too. No one can resist me. I can turn anyone's woman into mine."He said while grabbing the silver wine glass tightly.Meanwhile,Delilah went back to the forest with Conor. He said he would go to meet Everett.He did not tell her more about the war. 'War? Why is he planning to do such a thing? I have never seen any war in my life. What if something happens to him?'She was really worried about Everett.They reached the wooden house and saw Everett was not there."He may be in his training again."Delilah sighed and glanced at the way that Everett took her today."Then let's go there." Conor said simply."Me?" She pointed at herself. She knew Everett told others that she could go there anytime, but what if he got angry?"Don't think too much and let's go. What if you lose your way another time? So let me check
When Delilah came out of the shower, she saw that Everett was talking with his friends downstairs.She hurriedly made five cups of tea and some snacks for them.She placed the tray of tea and snacks. Everyone took their cups and started to drink tea.Delilah sat beside Everett. She did not look at him."How are your days going in the hospital?" Luke asked Delilah."Good. I am trying my best to do my job." Delilah replied."She is a very good nurse. Like an intern, she has learned many things." Conor praised her.Delilah smiled at him and thanked him."Everett, what do you think? How much more time do we need to take?" Jack asked. "One more month." Everett replied and leaned back against the couch. "Finally, I can go to the town and join that hospital." Conor said excitedly.Delilah was confused about what they were discussing. She was naive in that discussion. But she paid attention to it fully."Don't forget who you are, and what your rank is, your responsibility is mainly serving
"Whom are you looking for, Princess?"Delilah turned around. She was stunned as she took a step back."Y-You?"Delilah was shocked that the man who was in front of her was Everett's brother."You can not call your Crown Prince like this. You should greet him first. Then you need to talk to him calmly. Otherwise, I can kill you."Delilah was confused about what he was saying.Maverick chuckled and came close to her neck."Let me tell you a secret. I didn't mind."Delilah stepped back. "W-What are you doing?""Just talking with you I guess.""I don't want to talk to you."Delilah started to walk but Maverick came in her way and stopped her by pulling her into a corner."You can not go like that. Once I finish, you can go.""What do you want to say?" Delilah asked.She was mad at him. She didn't forget how he insulted Everett that day in the palace.In fact, when he called himself Crown Prince, it reminded her of her mate. Didn't that man say that Maverick accepted his intention? That m
"WHO ARE YOU?"Delilah was shocked by Everett's question."Ev-Everett-"Everett tightened his grip more. Delilah was having breathing problems because of that. She patted his wrist."Who sent you to me, huh?"His voice was cold and deep. Delilah felt a shiver in her body. She had never seen Everett's this behavior. He looked like he would kill her today.She shook her head as she could not let out a word. Everett glared at her. When he saw her face become colorless, he let go of her neck.Delilah slid against the wall and coughed hard."Who sent you to me? That bastard or his father?"Delilah gathered up her breath and tried to breathe as much as she could.She looked up at him with her teary eyes. "I-I didn't d-do anything.""Who. Sent. You?"He asked her repeatedly as if his mind went blank. "N-No one." She whispered as her tears rolled down her cheeks.He bent down in front of her and asked,"Where were you before you came here?""I was in the village market." She replied and so
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!
