In the dead of night, Lilith's eyes fluttered open, her determination to escape pulsating through her veins. She had reached a breaking point, and the longing for freedom outweighed the fear that had held her captive for so long. Carefully, she slipped out of her bed, ensuring not to make a sound that might alert her parents or the guards.Lilith tiptoed to a hidden corner of her room, where the strange guy had meticulously placed plates on the wall to aid in her escape.Pulling up the curtains, she stared at her means of escape with a smile on her face."I'll be free now," she assured herself.Gripping onto the first plate, she tested its sturdiness before placing her weight upon it. The metal groaned softly, but held. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding in her chest, as she began to climb.Silently, she ascended the wall, using the plates as her makeshift ladder. The adrenaline fueled her every move, pushing her closer to the freedom she craved. The night air whispered agains
Alpha Xavier Chul stood at the center of the grand hall, his commanding presence emanating strength and authority. The elders, wise and experienced members of his pack, listened intently as he addressed them. His voice resonated through the chamber, carrying a mixture of determination and concern."My esteemed elders, I stand before you today with a heavy heart. The search for my mate has been arduous and filled with countless obstacles. I have traversed vast lands, followed every lead, and encountered faces that held promise but were not the one I seek."The elders exchanged glances, their expressions reflecting a combination of sympathy and concern. Whispers filled the air, discussing the significance of the alpha's quest and the toll it had taken on him and the pack."Alpha Chul, we understand the importance of finding your mate. But perhaps it is time to shift our focus. Our pack needs your leadership and guidance now more than ever," Elder Jones stood up and contributed."Yes, Xa
Xavier Chul, seated comfortably in the back of his luxurious limousine, spoke into his phone with a calm and composed demeanor. His voice exuded authority and confidence as he conversed with an important guest."Good afternoon, Mr. Johnson. I hope you're having a pleasant day," Xavier said, his tone polite yet authoritative. "I wanted to discuss the recent developments regarding our investment portfolio. It seems there has been a significant increase in market volatility, and I believe it's crucial for us to reassess our current strategy."As Xavier engaged in the conversation, his attention was momentarily diverted by an intriguing sight on the main road. His eyes narrowed as he observed a young girl walking beside an elderly man. A murmur escaped his lips as he muttered to himself, barely audible, "So she escaped? I didn't expect her to get away."Despite his surprise, Xavier remained focused on the phone call, maintaining his professional demeanor. "Mr. Johnson, we need to address
Lith's heart raced as her gaze caught sight of her parents' guards marching determinedly towards her from a distance. Panic gripped her, knowing that they had discovered her absence and were now searching for her. Without a moment's hesitation, she realized she had to flee.Her initial instinct was to run, to distance herself from the approaching guards as quickly as possible. Adrenaline surged through her veins, propelling her into a sprint as she darted through the crowd, desperately seeking refuge and anonymity.As she sprinted through the bustling streets, Lith's mind raced with thoughts of escape. Her breath came in rapid gasps, her footsteps pounding against the pavement, each stride taking her farther away from the encroaching guards. Fear mingled with determination, fueling her resolve to stay one step ahead of them.She weaved through the labyrinth of alleyways, her movements agile and swift. The familiar cityscape transformed into a maze of possibilities, where every corner
Lith woke up and saw her self in a luxurious room. The room exuded opulence and elegance. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries and expensive artwork, while the furniture was made of rich, dark wood with plush velvet upholstery. The room was bathed in soft, warm lighting, casting a gentle glow on everything it touched. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, sparkling with a thousand tiny prisms.The bed she was laid on was a grand masterpiece in itself. It was an ornate four-poster bed with intricately carved wooden frames and a canopy draped with flowing, sheer curtains. The mattress was plush and inviting, covered in silky, high-thread-count sheets. It was a bed fit for royalty, almost like the type she had at home, but this was more preferable.Lilith's heart pounded within her chest, her mind enveloped in darkness and trepidation. The haunting memories of her past in the old castle flooded her thoughts, conjuring images of confinement and despair. The mere possibil
The ringing of his phone jolted him, causing him to loosen his grip on Lilith's chin. He quickly retrieved his phone from his pocket, still squatted in front of her. As he answered the call, he spoke with urgency, his voice audible enough for Lilith to hear."Yes, this is chul Xavier. What do you have for me?" he said, his tone serious.Lilith listened intently as she heard only one side of the conversation, trying to piece together the information being shared. Chul's brows furrowed, and he nodded occasionally in response to the person on the other end of the line. The concern in his eyes deepened, and a flicker of desperation crossed his face."All right. Keep me updated. I need any lead you can find," he said before ending the call. He sighed heavily and ran a hand through his hair, contemplating the situation.He stood up, his gaze focused on the door, ready to leave without acknowledging Lilith's pain. But before he could turn the doorknob, her words halted him in his tracks."Is
He was taken aback by her sudden question, making his lashes fluttered as he didn't expect the little maiden in front of him to be so ignorant and demanding."What?""I want you to be my husband," she said, making his eyes widen even more, while she had a smile on her face.He turned away from her with a scoff, and suprise written on his face."We only met once, but you want me to marry you? You must be out of your mind. I should have never helped you escape," he said, making her smile fade away."I am not out of my mind. You are strong enough to go against my parents. You are not in good terms with the frontal pack. If we get married, they might kick me out. That is exactly what I want," she said happily, while he stared at her with an unfathomable expression on his face, but she didn't care."I cannot believe I ran into the perfect potential husband," she said and stretched her hands towards Chul and heaved a sigh, while he only shifted his liquor cup and placed his hands on the tab
Lilith stood in the bathroom, feeling a mix of emotions swirling within her. Anger, sadness, and a sense of helplessness washed over her as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. The steam from the shower slowly filled the room as she undressed, her mind still fixated on the life that awaited her.As she stepped into the shower, the warm water cascaded down her body, attempting to wash away not only the physical grime but also the weight of her impending fate. The sound of the water masked the sound of her sobs, allowing her a brief moment of privacy to gather her thoughts.With each drop of water that hit her skin, she reaffirmed her determination to stand up for herself. She wouldn't let her dreams and desires be cast aside for the sake of tradition or societal expectations. The steam began to clear her mind, offering a small glimmer of hope amidst the darkness of her situation.After what seemed like an eternity, Lilith emerged from the bathroom, draped in a towel. As she walk
