Lilith's POVCara took a moment to think with her forehead wrinkling with confusion as she tried to understand what I was saying. After a little while, she nodded her head, but it was clear that she still felt unsure about everything.I shut my eyes once more, trying to dig deep inside myself to find the connection I was looking for. The relationship that existed between Adams and I felt strong and full of energy, almost like a powerful electric current that was very real and could be felt.With careful concentration, I stretched out my thoughts and feelings to that special bond we shared. "It is time to tie the knot," I thought, as I envisioned wrapping my arms around him gently.“Adams!” The name echoed in my thoughts sharply and vividly.Just a few minutes later the door suddenly burst open and in walked Adams. His focused gaze on me, and the intensity of his stare made my heart feel like it was soaring high in the sky.“Lilith!” he said softly with his voice filled with urgency as
Adams' POVAs I gradually opened my eyes from sleep, I decided to turn over and glance at the other part of the bed where Lilith was lying, and sleeping soundly.The glowing moon was shining in through the window and casting a soft glow on her peaceful face. Even while asleep, her lips had a slight beautiful smile that amazed me at how pretty she was.At that moment, my heart was full of a strong mix of pride and a desire to protect her. That special feeling inside me grew stronger as I admired her beauty.The events from the day before kept playing in my mind over and over again like waves crashing on the shore without stopping. We had finally taken an important step in our relationship. It was a moment that made our bond truly strong and unbreakable.As I think back on that wonderful experience, it feels like fate had revealed itself to us while linking our lives together in a special way. Even though I was happy, there was also a heaviness in my heart.I could not help but feel the
Adams' POVI pushed my way into the room and as I did my legs felt weak and unsteady. The feeling became stronger and stronger, and eventually I could not keep my balance anymore. Because of that, I fell onto the floor.“Adams!” The sound of that name rang out clearly in my mind while resonating with a tone that was both sharp and filled with worry. But I realized it was just a voice echoing in my head. I let out a groan while feeling the coldness of the floor beneath me as I pressed myself against it for support.My surroundings felt strange. Then, as suddenly as the pain had started, it disappeared completely while cutting away from me like a sharp knife slicing through something.I blinked my eyes several times, trying to absorb the dim light in the room. As I did this, a wave of memories from the night flooded my mind. I thought about Lilith and the special bond we had formed together.However, to my surprise, I suddenly understood that I was not in my usual form anymore. My body
Lilith's POVI woke up feeling warmth from the soft light which created a cozy glow that spread across the luxurious sheets I slept on.As I lay there, many memories came flooding back into my mind, clear and almost overwhelming. I thought about Adams and me wrapped up together in a loving embrace, completely forgetting everything happening outside our little world.My heart started to race as I remembered how he held me so closely, and I felt a rush of sweetness as I thought about our first time making love together. Even now, there was an ache of desire lingering within me with a reminder of the beautiful moments we had shared.I reached my arm out and placed it across the wide space of the bed. My fingers lightly touched the smooth and cool sheets. I noticed that the side of the bed where Adams usually slept was completely empty.“Adams?” I softly spoke with a slight touch of confusion evident in the way I said his name.The atmosphere was filled with a tangible heavy silence. As t
Lilith's POVAdams turned his body straightening up so that he looked like a strong leader who was in control of the situation. He breathed in, then spoke in a clear manner, even though he sounded nervous.“I called for a council of war,” he said. “The rogue king is on his way, and he is bringing his army right to our doorstep to our very own land.”I felt a frown pulling at the corners of my lips and I couldn't help but express my feelings. “You decided to gather everyone for a council of war, and you didn't even think to tell me about it beforehand? Couldn’t you have given me some kind of warning at all?” I said while trying to sound stern and upset.I pretended to be upset more than I really was, because a part of me was actually not happy with the whole situation.Adams let out a little laugh and there was a playful sparkle in his eye. He said, “I didn't want to make you feel bored with all the little details, my dear.”“Bore me?” I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. “You are well
Lilith's POVI shifted awkwardly in my chair with the council members squirming, feeling my presence.I sensed their disapproval digging into me, their dislike eating away at my confidence. To them, I was just the traitor’s daughter—a rebel, a living symbol of their worries. Just sitting next to Adams felt like a dangerous bet, an experience I hadn’t chosen to face.“Your Highness,” one of the older council members started, his voice calm but cold. “We need to talk about the coming war, but…” he paused, glancing at me before going on. “We can't overlook the obvious issue. Her being here…”“Lilith is my mate,” Adams shouted firmly, his voice rising with certainty. “She is with me, not behind me.”I looked at him from the side, surprised but reassured by the strong determination in his eyes. However, the council members didn’t change their stares, filled with judgment.I could almost feel how heavy their looks were, their whispers following them like shadows. Some looked at me with clea
Lilith's POVThe tension in the council room grew stronger with every second, almost hard to breathe in. I looked at Adams and saw his strong will mixed with some worry. We were side by side, ready to face the dangers that were getting closer to our group.My heart raced as unspoken thoughts lingered between us, a silent talk that only we understood. In a shared moment of clarity, I saw him nod slowly, a small sign of comfort in the surrounding turmoil.I took a big breath and stood up, noticing everyone was looking at me. This was my moment, one I had dreamed about for so long, but also worried about.“Yes,” I said firmly, even though I felt nervous inside. “The rogue king is after me because the Moon Goddess chose me!”A surprised gasp went through the group, showing the shock in their faces. The room fell silent and thick with tension. I looked at Adams. His face showed a strong mix of pride and care, reminding me that I wasn’t fighting this battle alone. Beta Ronan moved a bit bes
Adams' POVStanding before the room, I felt my heart beating faster because of the pressure of my responsibilities. But notwithstanding, I remained calm and clear, focusing on the challenging task ahead.“Kael!” I called while feeling the weight of being in charge pressing down on me. “Get your team together. We’re getting ready to leave.”“Absolutely Your Highness!” Kael said with a firm voice as he stood up straight a look of determination shining brightly in his eyes. “Could you please tell me what the target is?”“The Green Forest Pack. I need you to strike them quickly and forcefully. Gather a sufficient number of soldiers to ensure a quick and decisive victory. It is important that they realize that their loyalty to Augustus will have serious consequences.”Kael nodded his head enthusiastically, a big smile growing wide on his face. “Can you tell me how many soldiers are available for me to use?”“A hundred and forty of our best fighters,” I replied while mentally counting them
Adams' POVThe forest appeared ahead covered with an uneasy feeling. As I guided my men into the Green Forest Pack’s territory, I felt the heavy crown on my head.It was a steady reminder of my responsibilities as Alpha, and King of all the Packs. My warriors were nearby, their faces tensed with anticipation, ready to battle, but the deep silence unsettled even the most seasoned of them.“What's happening?” Ronan, my Beta, whispered, looking at the trees as if they might suddenly attack us.“Be careful!” I said, looking closely at the darkening sky. “We might be walking into a trap.”Next to me, Lilith rode, her calmness a source of comfort. She looked at me, and said, “No matter what comes, we will handle it.”I nodded, feeling thankful for her bravery. We had made it too far and given up too much to stop now. Together we moved forward deeper into the Pack.By the time I stepped on the boundary, I expected trouble, but the woods were strangely quiet. I noticed my men sharing anxious
Adams' POVA thick silence covered the battlefield as the last sounds of fighting disappeared. I stood among the leftovers of the fight finally feeling my breath steady again.The harsh truth hit me. It was finished. The rogue army led by the traitor Augustus had been defeated. Their threats will no longer hang over my packs and I will not have to be afraid of backstabbers anymore.“We did it, Adams,” Lilith said quietly, her voice a mix of relief and surprise. She moved closer, her bright green eyes looking into mine. “It is finally done.”A huge weight lifted off my chest at her words. “Yes... it is settled.” Our eyes met and at that moment every other thing felt unimportant. I pulled her close, ignoring our friends and the signs of the battle, kissing her passionately.The salty flavor from sweat and dirt dripped down my throat, but in her presence even the bad feelings turned good. We hugged each other tightly, connecting our hearts as one, enjoying the joy of our victory, and fin
Lilith's POVAn intense fear took hold of me, making me feel cold all over, and it seemed unyielding and harsh.With determination, I shouted out, “You will never be able to have me!” deep inside, I understood that my words were unlikely to have any effect on him.I turned my eyes toward Adams, hoping to see some sign of reassurance from him, but sadly, he was caught up in a fierce struggle with Ben.“Get behind me!” Adeline shouted fiercely, showing her teeth in a threatening way as she got ready to protect me.However, Augustus’s laughter filled the air, such a disturbing sound that sent shivers through my body.“It's pointless,” he said, lifting his hand and carelessly flinging Adeline away as if she were just a small bother to him. She fell onto the grassy ground, but as soon as she got back up, her anger burned even brighter.“All of you are so weak and pathetic. Did you honestly believe that you could possibly oppose someone like me?”“Augustus, you really don't recognize our tr
Lilith's POVThe rogue army charged through the broken and ruined gates, moving with a sense of urgency. My heart was seriously thumping loudly in my chest, like a drum that wouldn't stop, pushing me to do something, to respond to the situation.“Adams!” I mind-linked, trying to get his attention. Lexi caught a quick sight of our mate as he began to change, his body transforming further, his Lycan features gradually taking over.His muscles moved and shifted beneath the bright, fiery fur that covered him. He was a strong and fierce wolf, fully prepared to take charge.“Do not move from that spot, Lilith!” he growled with his voice deep and rough. As he jumped into the chaos of the fight, his strong arms and legs pushed him ahead with great force.I felt a mix of emotions inside me as I had control of my body; I was proud of him for being so brave, but at the same time, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of anxiety and concern.However, I found myself unable to move from my spot. I could
Lilith's POVAs I walked slowly beside Adams, my heart beat hard and fast in my chest. Below the ramparts a terrific battle was going on, and it was intense to witness. Two wolves fighting each other—a fierce and savage dance involving their sharp claws and powerful teeth.The air was filled with the wild and piercing sounds of battle cries which vibrated through the ground under our feet. I became more alert and focused with each second that passed. “Look over there!” I said excitedly, pointing my finger towards something I recognized among the group of troublemakers.“It is the Green Forest, my home pack! I can’t believe they would turn against us like this. How could they do something so hurtful?”Adams' spoke to me, “Ben has influenced their thoughts in a very negative way. He had convinced them that they would take control and gain power. He will not give up until he has succeeded in tearing us apart completely.”“Then we will demonstrate to them exactly what loyalty really mean
Lilith's POVI was standing at the edge of the tall stone walls and I suddenly felt my breath catch in my throat. I looked down at the huge army of wolves that had gathered below me.Their fur was shining and sparkling, catching what little light was left in the sky as the sun started to set. The wolves were making deep low growling sounds that combined into a sound like a heavy dark hum that I could feel deep inside of me.I realized that Augustus had finally come, and I could sense that a big battle was about to take place. It appeared as if a dark cloud was hovering over us ready to unleash terror at any point.“Just take a look at them,” I said quietly in a whisper, as my heart beat loudly in my chest. I turned to Adams, who was standing right next to me.He appeared completely unfazed by what was happening. I noticed that his striking blue eyes were fixed intensely on the dark wave of people stretching out across the field and I couldn’t help but admire how calm and collected he
Adams' POV“Ben,” I said while trying very hard to keep my voice steady. I wanted to sound calm, but inside I felt like there was a huge storm of emotions raging.“You have decided to side with a person who is completely out of his mind. How could you make that choice? You are a brother to me. You were one of the good people in our pack!”“There is no connection between us, only the pursuit of power!” he exclaimed with anger, with his eyes narrowing in a way that showed an intense bitterness I could hardly recognize.“And you, my dear King, are blocking the path forward. You must make your choice carefully and think it through.”“Choose death instead of being a servant?” I laughed bitterly, anger burning inside me. “Do you really think I’d submit to Augustus? Tell him to stick his offer somewhere. You’ve become a worse person and his darkness will swallow you just like it has your soul!”“No!” Ben shouted loudly with his voice filled with anger and frustration. It was as if a dark and
Adams' POVI stood at the very edge of the sturdy stone wall of the fortress. The old stronghold which had been the home of my family for many generations was built with tall parapets. These walls had once been alive with the noise and excitement of battle, filled by my brave ancestors who were skilled archers ready to protect our land from any invaders.Now, however, darkness surrounded us completely and a thick silence pressed down on our group of warriors. It felt strange and unsettling as if we were all holding our breath together, both the defenders standing ready and the shadows that seemed to inch closer and closer to us.To my left was Ronan. Right now he looked very tense. His usually bright and lively eyes were narrowed, and he was carefully looking out at the land in front of us, searching for any signs of movement.All around, the generals and captains of the Bloodhound Pack were standing in a tense way, almost like tightly wound bowstrings. Their muscles were tight and pr
Adams' POV Lilith softly extended her hand and lightly placed it on Adeline's arm. She turned to her with a warm expression of gratitude and spoke, “I honestly want to thank you for supporting me during this trying time in my life.”I observed how the two exchanged a glance that seemed to hold a deep understanding between them, a connection that had been built on trust and loyalty over time. Feeling the need to give them some space, I took a step back and gently let go of Lilith’s hand.It was as if something heavy settled into my chest, making me feel a bit sad. I then spoke to her, “Now you should go. Make your way back to the palace and make sure to stay near Adeline. I need to handle some important things on my own.”“Please be careful my dear.” Lilith's voice shook just a little bit as she looked deeply into my eyes and I could see a mix of concern and love in her expression.I nodded my head slowly, fully realizing just how much fear was reflected in Lilith's eyes. I leaned in
