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
Lilith's POV;The day of the mating ceremony came so fast that I wondered if I was really ready for this.Looking at myself in the mirror, dressed in a pretty white laced dress with a light pink tulle skirt that covered my legs and a crown of flowers resting on my head, reminded me of the woman in the mirror.That was a few days ago, but it felt like just yesterday. I couldn't say anything to anyone, but I was always wondering who the woman was. She had told me that I was going to find out who she was pretty soon, and I couldn't wait.I glanced at the mirror slowly again, willing myself to see her, but instead, all I saw was my own reflection and how beautiful I looked. Although my eyes held a certain sadness, I smiled slowly in a bid to hide it."You look beautiful, my lady," Cara said, and I nodded without a word.Adams had told me that it was the custom in the Blackhound pack for all the werewolves to be in their wolf form during the latter part of the mating ceremony. Apparently,
Lilith's POV;Seeing Alpha River's retreating figure brought me a sense of comfort, but I still said nothing as I felt Adam's gaze on me."I'm sorry about that," he said, and I nodded.The rest of the ceremony went by in a blur, and very soon, it was already sunset.The seer in the Blackhound pack, who was known to be one of the best in the entire werewolf realm, had picked today as the best day for us to get married.According to him, it was going to be a full moon, and the moon goddess would be bestowing her blessings on a few lucky wolves.That evening, after Cara led me back to my room to get rid of my dress and other adornments in order for them to not get ruined, I couldn't help but wonder if Lexi was right after all.He had treated me very nicely, saved me from Cassandra's clutches, and yelled at Alpha River for my sake.&nb
Lilith's POV;I woke up to a bright light streaming through the curtain. For a moment, my heart slammed hard against my chest as the bed felt unfamiliar.My eyes fluttered open, and immediately they met him. He was on the sofa; his eyes were closed, and his lips parted slightly as he snored lightly. Even in his sleep, he looked handsome.Suddenly, his eyes opened, just in time to see me staring at him. I made no attempt to look away and instead remained expressionless."How was your night, my queen?" A small smile was playing on his lips, and I thought that perhaps he had caught me looking at him."Fine."He was saying something, muffled by a yawn , and he stood up, stretched, and walked out of the room."See you at breakfast, cupcake."I released a breath that I didn't know I was holding.There was a sudden knock on the door, and I trudged slowly to open it. Seeing Cara and a few other maids, I was reminded of what she had said the day before about my maids being changed."Good morni
