Adam’s POVI stood up in haste as they took their stances, swords drawn out.The first man looked like he had never gotten beyond a few hours of sleep in his entire life. His eyes were sunken deep into his head and he almost looked like he was blind.He was a little bit shorter than I was, dressed in an oversized coat which made me wonder how he intended to fight me.The other man, however, was tall and lean, about the same height as I was. He had a fierce look on his face and seemed like someone who could fight.He held his sword so dangerously, I would have surrendered to them if I wasn’t an Alpha.I raised my hands up as I was unarmed. “I really don’t want to fight any of you, just tell me where Raoul is so that we can all be on our way, unhurt. Who knows, I might spare you all and let you keep staying here.”“We don’t need your help or permission to stay here, Alpha king, we do not serve you,” the first man spoke.The other man remained silent, and I guessed he wasn’t much of a tal
Adam’s POV“Shet!” I cursed as I picked him up from the floor.His wounds were fatal, so they healed slowly. He was so weak, his breathing was haggard.For a second, I almost felt pity for him, but it cleared away as soon as it came. If I had not injured him in this state, he would have killed me.With him on my shoulder, I walked over to the floor and picked up the jar which had fallen during the fight.Fortunately, it didn’t break or crack, else I would have been at a loss and would have fought for nothing. I rushed out of the room and summoned Ted to take over me—giving me strength to run the long journey home.Having spent a long time in the mountains, I had no idea what the time was, but it was almost morning.The moon was full and bright in the sky, filling me with an energy I couldn’t wrap my head about.I had not taken much thought of it till now, it all dawned on me that something had changed in Ted. He was now faster and stronger and mysteriously powerful. If not for the fo
Lilith's POVHe stared at me… angrily.He had this face which ordered me to leave him alone, but I wasn’t going to do that till I got the information I needed from him.“What do you want?” He managed to ask, the look on his face still warning me to go back away.I turned towards the door still open. A guard had followed me inside to protect me, but right now, I didn’t need any protection. All I wanted was to get this man alone, to ask him what he knew.“You can leave us,” I muttered to the guard.“My Queen, I’m sorry, I can not do that. This man is a dangerous criminal awaiting trial. The Alpha will have my neck if any harm should come to you,” the guard replied.He stood his ground, as if to tell me not to bother persuading him because he wouldn’t listen.I sighed and smiled at him. “It’s fine, nothing will happen to me. He knows better than to try anything fun. Rest assured I will alert you if needs be.”“But my queen…” he was saying before I cut him short. “No buts, just trust me a
Lilith’s POV“That’s ridiculous, how do you expect me to believe Ben had no hand in the attempted assassination of my life?” Adam asked, his face plastered with a frown.I sighed, knowing it would be difficult to convince him. Whenever his mind was made up, breaking through a wall with one’s finger was easier than convincing him.“I know this sounds awkward, but you need to trust me, okay. Ben is innocent.” I caught sight of Ben’s eyes, watching every one of us. He had a smirk on his face which was the least expected thing I was hoping to see, considering the severity of the situation.“Look at him…” Adam said, pointing towards him. “… does this look like the face of an innocent person?”“And how does the face of an innocent person look like brother? I would love to know so that I can pull away this smirk on my face and replace it as soon as possible.” Ben’s words must have hurt him as he clutched his fist.The sword made a low clanking sound as it touched the floor after Adam let it
Lilith’s POVMy head rang multiple times as I couldn’t believe the sight before me. Did Raoul know he would lose, which was why he planned the poison? “My king, should we go after him?” A guard asked.Adam didn’t hear at first, as he was also lost in thought. “Go after him and bring him to me,” he replied, not taking his eyes off the note on the bed.“My king,” another guard bowed, rushing into the room. “The council members have begun to gather, and they request your presence immediately.”“The council members?” Adam asked. “Aren’t they supposed to gather in the afternoon? Why now?”“I have no idea, my King, but they said it’s urgent. They want to see you to conclude yesterday’s discussion. It seemed they were preparing to go for something, and they wouldn’t want to be late.” The guard replied. He bowed out and left the room to go back to the mansion.Something clicked in my head, and I remembered why the council members were in a hurry to meet. It was the day of Raider’s coronation
Adam’s POVAt first, it looked like I was being dipped into a pool filled with darkness rather than water before being pulled out multiple times. But soon, my vision became clear, and I saw the white-coated roof above me.Guessing from the way I was, I knew I was lying on my back —on what looked like a bed. One might wonder, “what looked like a bed?” It didn’t feel like I slept on a bed, rather, it felt like I slept on a floor covered with bedsheets.It was hard, and my back hurt.The scent of antiseptic and medicines soon filtered into my nostrils, so much so, it didn’t take long to know where I was —a hospital.Fragments of what had happened to me began to come together like pieces of a puzzle. A mild headache lived rent-free in my head, but it was the least of my worries, getting home was more important.A quick glance around the room revealed that it wasn’t the normal hospital ward a person would be put in on a normal day. Rather, it was big and spacious, almost fit for a king.The
Adam's POV.We soon arrived at Green Forest Park, just some hours before the start of the event.Everywhere was a bustle of joy and laughter as torches lighted up the whole place, making it seem as though it was day.As we got there, I noticed a change in Lilith's demeanor. She no longer had a smile on her face and she kept looking in a particular direction.I followed her gaze and saw her staring at an abandoned house. A tear soon came out of her eyes, but she cleaned it up as soon as it did.She stood, her eyes still focused on the house and I took it as an opportunity to talk to Ronan. "What's up with her," I asked."She used to live there with her parents before they were killed."My heart twisted in pain after I heard the reason for her sudden sadness. I walked closer to her and slid my fingers into hers. She didn't move or object, b
Lilith's POVOnce it was midnight, the vows were taken, and the Royal ring that made Raider the alpha of Green Forest pack was put on his finger.It was now time for entertainment and music blared in the air so loudly I could almost not hear anything."Hurray," screamed the crowd as the huge man hit his opponent, an even bigger man, a saliva-dripping punch in the face.A coronation or any special event, excluding burials, without fighting among the strongest men was considered a boring affair in Green-forest pack.The fighting also helped to distract me from my thoughts, as sitting on the high table with Raider and Cassandra was enough to make me lose my mind.If Adams had not held my hand, rubbing it from time to time while flashing comforting smiles at me, I might have done something I would end up regretting.Each time I saw thei
