Lilith’s POV“Adam, why would you barge in like that? What if I was in the middle of something personal?” I was shocked beyond words by the way he walked into the room. Yes, he was the Alpha king and could do whatever he wanted, but courtesy demanded he knocked first.I became furious, and it was evident in my face.He didn’t say a word, rather his gaze shifted to Cara, who had sprung up to her feet with hands trembling like she had touched a live wire.“I… I would take my leave now, your highness,” she stammered, walking to the door with unsteady steps.“My lord.” She bowed hastily as she got to his side and almost stopped, but continued when he didn’t reply.Closing the door silently, she left the room, leaving us alone.Seeing his face made me remember the way he spoke to me the night before an
Adam’s POVOf course, I knew she was mad at me, but I didn’t expect this. I was beyond embarrassed and didn’t know what to say when she said stop and removed her lips away from mine.“Lilith…” I gasped. “But I said I’m sorry.“What if you are sorry? Does that make up for the hurt I felt so easily? Did you know how bad I felt when you sent me out of our room like a street dog?” By now she had walked up the window and rested her back on it, facing me.I sighed, knowing I was in the wrong. What was I thinking when I tried to kiss her?“A few words do not make you sorry. You need to show it.” She voiced those words boldly, but I could see through her and I knew she didn’t mean them.She clutched her body with her hands and turned to face the wall, avoiding my gaze again.
Lilith’s POVThe rest of the day went by slowly with me staying in my room.The air was dry, and it seemed to stand still among the clouds. After Adam left to handle pack matters, I couldn’t bear to be alone, so I called Cara, and we remained together for most of the day.I sat on my bed while she sat on a low stool.“Cara,” I called to her as she cut away the nail on my toes.“Your Highness.” She paused and looked up at me to hear what it was I wanted and give heed to my request.“The royal family has been invited to the wedding of Raider and Cassandra, but I do not feel like going.”“Then you shouldn't, your highness, everyone knows how badly they treated you before the Alpha brought you to this pack. They deserve to suffer for all they have done to you, gra
Lilith’s POVAs we passed by the numerous guards on our way out of the mansion, they all looked at me like they were a peculiar rock from space.It wasn’t the same as the maids who whispered to themselves, watching me from every corner. Words definitely flew fast, so fast that almost everyone in the mansion was watching me before I got to the main door.I could feel a sea of eyes, glued to my back like an escort, but it didn’t bother me. Rather, I smiled, walking shoulder-high without a care in the world. The sun beat down on the training grounds, casting a golden glow over the assembled fighters. Among them, two warriors stood out.Sparring among the warriors must be a common thing in this pack as they did that with themselves here daily like it was nothing.It was something I admired them for, as warriors in the Green Forest pack were always too lazy to spar with each other. They would rather drink all day and talk about women till nightfall.Due to the way I was dressed, no one re
Adam’s POVToday’s council meeting was one of the most boring among the others I have attended.It wasn’t like what was being discussed was not important, but I found it hard to concentrate, especially since I couldn’t take my mind off Lilith.The short kiss we shared before I left her made me want her more. She shocked me the most when she whispered softly into my ears just before I left the room, “If you get home early, who knows, I might wear something s*xy.”My blood had rushed at that moment and I gulped hard with widened eyes.All the way to the meeting, I had been imagining and cooking up fantasies of what the evening might hold for me.My wolf kept groaning inside me, yearning for her. He had not been at rest ever since she said those words. If it were left to him, I would never have left for this meeting.“My lord,” one of the elders of the regions under my pack command began to speak. “The only way to increase revenue and secure income for the general well-being of the membe
Adam’s POV: I couldn’t believe my eyes, neither could anyone there. He kept bleeding from his mouth till he fell on the floor. Ronan rushed to my side and hit me away, getting in front of me. He thought we were under attack and had prepared himself to fight.“Can someone tell me what is happening!” I screamed. Everyone kept looking with a confused look on their respective faces. It was obvious no one understood what was going on.We all stood, confused, watching till the man stopped shaking. “He’s dead.” Ronan spoke, checking the man’s pulse.Everything moved so fast, it all seemed like a dream. The two guards standing on duty had also moved close to us with swords in their hands, anticipating the worst.The first supervisor whom I had looked at first was now up on his feet, shedding tears like a baby as he watched his dead colleague.“The earlier you all started talking, the faster we would leave here. Who do you work for and what do you think caused this man’s death?” I walked to
Lilith’s POVHe kept pacing around like a man whose wife was in a labor room.I tried to get to him with my eyes, I even coughed to see if I would get his attention, but he didn’t bulge. Whatever it was that was bothering him was beyond the situation at hand.“Your highness, I have conducted my tests and must say, this is something I have never seen before in my forty years of working as a doctor. The queen is perfectly fine, she has no broken bones or bruises just like any normal person would, this must be a miracle.” The pack doctor kept staring at me like I would disappear into thin air if he took his eyes off me.Adam nodded at the doctor’s words.He looked at me, then the doctor with the corner of his eye, his mouth was twisted to the side, and he tapped his fingers on his arm which was crossed over his chest.I wanted to laugh at how amusing he looked like, but I didn’t dare do that, not with the pack doctor around.He might be an amusing person, but no one liked getting disresp
Lilith’s POVI had left our room, not long after he did, for mine.I didn’t feel comfortable being there all alone, not after the way I ended our intimate moment.After I got back to my room, I decided to take a bath. Adam sent Cara to call me down for dinner, but I declined and decided to stay in my room instead.He must probably be wondering what suddenly caused the change of attitude. I was probably angry at him. The truth is I wasn’t angry, I just didn’t feel ready for us to get intimate, at the last minute.I also didn’t go for dinner because I was avoiding his face.Lexi had scolded me after, calling me a fool for behaving in such an absurd manner to him. She was enjoying the romantic atmosphere between us earlier and would have loved for it to continue, but I just didn’t feel like it was something I wanted yet.I had noticed the hurtful look in his eyes before I left him to sleep. He definitely had a lot to say but had decided not to say anything.Cara brought my dinner and I a
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
