'Slap'
'Slap'
"Wrench!" Cassandra, Raider's new mate, yelled as she kept slapping me, her face pulled together in an angry scowl. I felt my skin sting from where her claws had grazed my skin; the metallic taste of blood seeped into my mouth from how hard she had been slapping me.
"I asked you to prepare the blue dress first so I could wear it to the pre-wedding banquet, and you went to prepare the green dress for me! Are you trying to ruin my joyous day just because you can't have one??" She yelled as she threw another slap in my face. I whimpered in pain, holding back the scream that threatened to fall from my lips.
'I won't cry. 'Not in front of her!' I repeated it and repeated it to myself.
"Pathetic fool!" She yelled into my face as she landed another slap on my face. "The banquet is almost here, and I haven't even gotten halfway dressed because of your clumsiness! Are you dumb? Can't you speak?!" She demanded angrily as I kept silent.
The commotion soon attracted Raider into the room. He walked in fully dressed in a black tuxedo paired with a brown dress shoe. He stood beside Cassandra, his arms protectively wrapping around her waist, as he glared at me.
"What has she done to annoy you again?" He asked as he kissed her on the forehead. She whimpered and pouted while looking up at him with a coy expression. "I asked her to prepare the blue dress you got for me so I could wear it to the pre-wedding banquet, but she prepared the green one instead," she whimpered, and Raider frowned.
"I thought we agreed you were to wear the green one first? And you even made sure to supervise the preparation; she didn't make any mistakes, babe," Raider explained, and Cassandra's face turned ugly the next moment as she pushed him off.
"Are you taking her side right now?! Are you calling me a liar? You are tired of me, and you want to go back to your ex?" She demanded coldly as she pulled my hair, dragging me around as she let out her anger on me.
Raider massaged his nose bridge and let out a sigh. "I'm not taking her side! I'm not! You are the one I love, not her, so why would I want to be with her instead of you? Come on, the banquet is about to start; you can deal with her later," he explained, trying to make her calm down.
With a sneer, she released my hair and pushed me against the wall. "Do you hear that? I'm the one he loves, and no matter what tricks you pull, he can never be yours." She declared triumphantly while looking down at me.
"Aren't you going to stand up and get my dresses ready?! If anything goes wrong with my day, I promise you a life of hell!" She declared as she threw another kick at me, "My heart ached and my blood boiled with rage as she gave me a gloating look, sticking out her tongue in my direction.
Without giving them the satisfaction of seeing me cry, I walked out of the room and immediately went to prepare the dress, only for her to end up wearing the blue dress that I had first prepared for her.
"You are not permitted to enter the hall or go back to your hole until everyone has returned to their homes after the banquet." Cassandra instructed me as I escorted her to the back door of the banquet hall with the rest of the omegas assigned to her for the night.
"I would have loved to see your pathetic reaction as I get married to your mate, but your filthy appearance will ruin my food mood, and I don't want that, so as punishment, you will be waiting here for the rest of the night. You are not permitted to talk to anyone or answer any questions; am I understood?" She demanded with a glare directed at me.
"Yes," I replied, my tone devoid of any emotion. Not that I was capable of having any. I had been completely broken the day I was forced to watch my parents die under the influence of wolfsbane.
It was a slow and painful dying process that had lasted for a while. I had watched for the first time how a father cried after losing his mate, only for him to die not long after.
No other emotion could compare to the pain I felt that night or the days following, where I would dream about the scene over and over again.
I wanted revenge, of course; any normal person would, but this was the last request from my father.
'Forgive them' he had said; no, he pleaded, and despite the pain he was feeling, he never closed his eyes until he heard my promise.
There was nothing else to live for, so what's the essence of having emotions that can easily be manipulated by the people who wanted nothing but to see you crumble, begging for your life?
I thought I had shut out my heart, that I had shut down my emotions. Yet the scent of rain and apples drifted into my nose, triggering all the buried emotions I had awakened with the sleeping wolf.
As the scent drew closer, I felt safe yet anxious.
What is this?
What does this mean for your wrenched moon goddess? Are you trying to make my life a joke?
As I tried looking up to see who the scent belonged to, I felt a slap on my face and noticed Cassandra had gotten dangerously close to my face. "I told you to address me as Luna, you..." Before she could finish her words, a growl resounded around.
"How dare you lay your hands on her!" I heard as my eyes began to blur.
'I'm exhausted'
'I want it all to end here and now' I thought to myself as I felt a strong hand wrap around my waist, the last thing I heard before I welcomed the darkness, a word I never wanted to hear again.
"Mate!”

Lilith's POV;The bright morning light fell into my eyes the moment I opened them, causing momentary blindness, and I winced and shut them immediately.My eyes fluttered a while later, and I frowned and sprang up, taking in the white, pristine wall of my surroundings. This wasn't my room in the cottage. Even the bed was way bigger than the one in my former room.I stepped away from the bed, my eyes closing as I tried to remember how I had gotten here and, more importantly, where I was.Just then, the door swung open, and my eyes immediately darted to it to meet those beautiful, deep blue eyes. I swallowed hard as my memories came flooding back.Cassandra's and Raider's wedding!Mate!I had fainted!He had called me'mate'; he was my mate! Lexi wasn't on the same page as me; she purred at the sight of him. He was good-looking, the most handsome man I had ever seen, but that didn't freak me out, as I wasn't going to forget everything and accept him. Besides, he seemed like a high-ranked w

Lilith's POV;My mouth opened, and I clamped them shut immediately and shook my head. It was impossible."You're lying—""Then how did you get here? You know that bitch won't let you just leave."It was then that I began to remember. My memories had been hazy, and I wasn't sure what was real and what wasn't, but I was sure that I had seen a look of shock on Cassandra's face."I'll get a maid to be with you shortly," he said, moving to the door."What about the wedding?" I blurted out just before he could leave, and he halted in his tracks without turning around."What do you think?" He said this as he walked out.A part of me felt terrible for the way I had treated him, but I couldn't trust myself around him. Lexi had already melted.Almost immediately, the door opened, and a maid entered."Miss Lilith, My name is Cara, and the Alpha King sent me to cater to all your needs."I nodded and said nothing. "Should I run you a warm bath now, my lady?"I wanted to refuse, but seeing that I ha

Adam's pov;I paced around in my office, pondering over my conversation with her and how strangely she had acted in my presence. I wondered if I was too hasty in telling her to marry me.You ruined it!I sighed and expelled a breath. I told her that I was going to see her after the meeting with a few council members, but now that I think about it, I might have ruined the chance to get her to like me.When she heard that I was the Alpha King, she acted strangely—not like she was scared of me, more like indifferent—and she had agreed to marry me that quickly.I was waiting for Ronan. He was supposed to be supervising the ongoing work at the newly built college, but I needed to talk to someone, and there was no one I trusted more than him.Just then, the office door opened, and he stepped in, his eyes laced with worry, and my brows pulled together into a frown, my mouth parting slowly."How's she?" he questioned beforeI couldn't say anything as he plopped onto the sofa."What's wrong?

Lilith's POV;A sense of calm filled me as I sat on the bed opposite the window to watch the sunset and marvel at how beautiful it looked.I had been in that position since I woke up from my short nap about an hour ago. I was startled initially and internally cursed myself as I thought that I was late for my chores, and Cassandra was waiting in a corner, ready to pounce on me for daring to wake up late as I thought I was still in Greenforest.All that felt like a long time ago when, in reality, it was just four days ago. I was surprised at Cassandra's outburst, but I knew that woman too well, and I was aware that she was faking it. She wanted to escape being punished.According to Cara, the wedding had been canceled, and I wondered if he had already thought about his earlier decision and decided that he couldn't be with an Omega who is also a traitor.I was almost always in the room, except for times when the Alpha King would tell me to spend some time with him on an evening stroll or

Lilith's POV;Her silky, wavy, fiery red hair spilled out of the hood of her cloak, flowing down her shoulder. She looked angelic with her emerald green eyes, which seemed to light up as they stared into mine. A smile was playing on her full, pink lips.My mouth parted slowly as I stared back at the reflection in shock. I was glancing at the mirror, but the person staring back at me wasn't me; it was someone else.The urge to glance behind me in order to be sure that she wasn't behind me was strong, but I couldn't feel her presence, and I was very sure that I was the only one alone in the room.I closed my eyes and opened them almost immediately to be sure that this wasn't a dream, and to my surprise, she was still there.I swallowed the painful lump in my throat as my curiosity heightened, my heat slamming hard against my chest as a cold, dreadful shiver worked its way down my spine."Who are you?" My voice came out in an unintended whisper, and her grin widened, mirroring the express

Adam's pov;I was in the middle of a business call when someone knocked at the door. My brows pulled together into a frown because I had earlier instructed the guards stationed by the door to not let anyone disturb me.I was pissed off that they had failed to obey my instructions, and I pursed my lips into a thin line in irritation as my jaw clenched.There was a knock again, and I groaned with frustration as I peeled the phone away from my ear."Come in," I called out, wondering who it was to have disturbed me so early in the morning and still annoyed that the guards had disobeyed my instruction.After the incident of the previous day, I was pretty sure that Ben was up to no good, and it scared me to think that he was going to harm Lilith. I figured that she must've been startled and went to meet her later that day, but she was still the same, indifferent, and unbothered. She was like a zombie, only that she wasn't rotting.I was still thinking of a suitable punishment for Raider and

Adam's Pov;With the wedding being just two days away, my anxiety increased as I felt that I was making a mistake.While I wanted her to know that she was mine and to show her off to the world as my mate, I also felt that it was too soon to spring it on her after everything she had gone through at the hands of Raider and Cassandra.I knew that she was scared under the facade of indifference, but I was ready to show her that she could be loved and protected."What do you think buddy?" I asked Ted, my wolf, and he growled."Can't wait to have her."I exhaled deeply. It wasn't like I was expecting him to agree with me anyway.I pushed him out of my head as I decided to focus on the work at hand.A lot of money was missing from the pack's treasury, a whole lot that I wondered how that happened right under my nose.I had to quickly speak to Ronan, if possible, before the dinner.I had asked Lilith to a dinner date earlier as a way to get closer to each other and, just as before, she said y

Lilith's POV;As soon as I got to my room, I began to berate myself for running away.It wasn't like he had done something wrong, but the mere mention of their names brought back those pent-up emotions. And they were going to see me get married to the Alpha king and attain the highest status possible.I felt guilty, but I knew that I couldn't go back to say anything. Lexi purred and I rolled my eyes."No, Lexi. We can't go to him now."I knew that he might be thinking about withdrawing the invitations or even calling off the wedding.That night, I kept tossing and turning and thinking of ways to make him not call off the wedding or withdraw the invitations from Cassandra and Raider."You know you can't keep bottling up our feelings for him," Lexi voiced out, but I ignored her.I hated that I was always flighty around him and I couldn't help it. I could feel my body slowly giving in to the deep feelings that arose within me.Whenever I set my eyes on him, my heart leaped, and when he s

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

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.

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.

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
Mated To Alpha Gregory Chapter 164. The Mist
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
