Lies and Gains

Oliver.

My back hurts. My chest seared with an inexplicable pain… Was this the siren's curse? I looked up to where Kelly stood conversing with Hailey.

“How many items have you been able to get?” Hailey asked curiously as she peered into the thick bag that hung on Kelly's neck. She was skeptical about Kelly.

“I've gotten all of them.” Kelly said calmly while looking over her shoulder towards the door that Daemon disappeared into.

“So…" Hailey shrugged at her, “What are we going to do? Will you start mixing the ingredients together, or what?”

Still with a concerned look on her face, “No. Ayana will handle that.”

“How will we contact her?” Hailey probed further, she wrung her hands together in front of her chest and gave Kelly her full attention.

“We will…" Kelly replied vaguely which deeply unsettled me, “What happened to Lily?”

“Lily?” I scoffed in disdain, and the feeling of jealousy rose from the pit of my stomach. “Are you guys 'pals' now?”

  • Mated To The Predator    Trust Ayana

    Chapter 56Trust Ayana.Daemon.My eyes twitched tirelessly as I sat at the bar, sipping a glass of human whiskey.“You haven't said anything since we came here…" Wilder said, eyeing my glass as he slouched deeper into the seat.The bar was almost empty and a few women were looking my way. If it were the period where I hadn't met Lily, I'd have flirted my way to get them in my bed without thinking twice. I glanced away from the half naked women and my eyes met Wilder's.He was the only person my wolf could trust that I could trust… It didn't matter the feud he had with his father, I knew he would never betray me.I sighed for a few seconds, my emotions weighing heavily on me, “What significant difference have you seen in me lately?” I tried to make the conversation light, but my question hung in the air in a tense silence.Wilder shook his head, “What's wrong with you. You're still the same old Daemon!”“What about my interactions with others, like Oliver and Lilian?”“Still the same,

    Chapter 57The First TimeLilian.“Kelly,” I said, my eyes widening in surprise, “What are you doing here?”“I came to check up on you…" She said, slowly letting herself into the bathroom. “You haven't come out of the bathroom since, it's more than five hours. Are you okay?”Was it five hours already? I stared at my skin that had already started reddening because of how hard I scrubbed myself, trying to get the blood off my skin. My skin was clean, but I didn't seem to get enough of it. I still felt stained with the blood of innocent people.When I didn't reply she came even closer to me, “The water is getting more chilly, you need to get out before you fall sick.”“No…" I shook my head, “I'm not done yet. I need to wash one more time.”“You're already clean, Lilian.” She said slowly, “Your skin is already red. You have to…"But I wasn't listening to her, I still felt like there was blood on my skin. I still remembered the tears and groans of agony in my mind. The children and mothers

    Chapter 58A way?Lilian.“We are leaving this place.” Daemon's voice cut through the little conversation that was going on between Wilder and Oliver.“We just got here.” Oliver said, her round face scrunching into a frown. “Besides, I'm still recovering from my sickness.”Daemon's expression was still passive. “Pack up whatever is yours, and let's hit the road.”“What inspired this movement, if I may ask?” Oliver asked again.I sat at the corner of the room while observing everything that was going on. Oliver, Hailey, and Wilder were sitting on a round table discussing their next movement.Daemon's eyes cut through to mine, and his voice softened. “Let's get going, Lily.”And without another word, he came towards me, gently pulling me up from the floor.*“You've got to be kidding me!” Oliver burst out in surprise. “Really? We are back here again?”“What's going on in your head? Huh?” This time, Wilder burst out in a loud voice.My jaw dropped in shock, and Hailey's eyes were widened

    Chapter 59I Remember.Lilian.“How do you feel?” I heard a deep concerned voice beside me and I turned over in bed.The morning sun spilled its warm light into the bedroom, illuminating the carefully and meticulously designed bedroom that once belonged to Alpha Blackthorn and his mate. I remember every detail about it because I had spent more time here in the pack, cleaning and making sure everything was to the Luna's taste during her pregnancy.“I feel fine…" I murmured in response, my thoughts still hazy, unaware of who had spoken.“I mean your memories.” The voice continued softly. “What do you remember?”“What memories?” I still could not tell what was going on.“Lilian!” The voice got deeper and sharper, sending warm shivers down my spine.Only one person could make me feel that way. Daemon. My eyes flew wide in surprise as it registered in my mind that I was in the same bed with Daemon. I sat up, my back straight, and I came face to face with Daemon who had a weird smirk on his

  • Mated To The Predator    I Cut Myself, Why Are You Bleeding?

    Chapter 60I Cut Myself, Why Are You Bleeding?Lilian.Days passed after my last encounter with Ayana, and I was just beside myself. Daemon was barely around, but somehow, I almost did not feel his absence. Something about his movements bothered me, and yet all that concerned me was piecing the puzzles of my memories after my parents had been brutally killed by Daemon.I was suddenly interrupted from my thoughts by a ruckus. I peered through the window of the room Daemon and I occupied, and I could tell the reason instantly.“I want to speak to her myself!” The dark-haired man said furiously even as he was halfheartedly stopped by some pack warriors.His eyes went up towards the window and our eyes met, and it only infuriated him further.“Get down here, Lilian! What are you people playing at?”The warriors looked up helplessly at me, unsure whether to let him in or not. I nodded to them to let him in. I was bored, anyway. Nothing significant had happened the last few days, all the pa

    Chapter 61A Cruel Joke.Lilian.“Where have you been? What happened to you? Did you get hurt?” There was panic in my eyes as I assessed the wound that was bleeding at a really fast rate.Daemon's face twisted in confusion. “No.”“No?” I asked, also as confused as he was.Something was egging me at the back of my mind to confirm a theory, but my heart began racing. I hoped that whatever this was, it wasn't what I was thinking of. But, the look on Daemon's face scared me.“Let me try something out.” I said slowly and picked up a knife that laid inside the fruit bowl.I winced as the knife went into my skin, drawing bright red blood from it. I waited and observed. And true to my fear, I figured how I was going to end Daemon's life. I was a little relieved, but still concerned.“So…” Daemon drawled out, and my eyes met his. “Your death is going to bring about my death?”I smiled sadly. “It sure seems so.” My eyes cut down to his hand which was bleeding like mine was.“Can we really escap

    Chapter 62I Don't Know You.Lilian.The path was lonely and windy, but I knew my destination was not so far anymore. Thick trees lined the narrow road, and the path was deserted. It felt weird that there was a group of people that lived this far away from the central pack, and what was worse was that it was filled with the old men and women.My legs were slowly growing heavy as I trudged the path, my mind still a mess of the earlier incident. I shook my head, pitying myself. Daemon was hoping to do the impossible, and I couldn't help him because… I just couldn't.I sighed as I reached my destination. Rows of huts were lined as I turned towards the curve of the road. Each hut has smoke rising from it. When was the last time I came here? I was sure I was barely five years old, but I remembered that there was a place like this. I wasn't let out of the house, and the few times I went out with my parents, I made sure to cherish those memories.An old woman sat in front of the first hut, s

I don't care.” I shrugged and walked on aimlessly, my heart barely in the search for Lilian.Why did Daemon even bother about a lowlife like her?“We need to find her before nightfall. Daemon's mood this evening was really erratic. He is worried that something bad has happened to her.”“Worried?” Those words bothered me.Daemon barely really cared about her and her movements. Why was he suddenly interested in her whereabouts?“Yeah.” She said and suddenly, her eyes lit up as she looked at me. “You know, since I reunited with my parents, I made a decision.”“Yeah? What about it?”“I've decided to join the pack warriors.” She smiled genuinely. “My training will start tomorrow.”“That's… That's really nice to hear.” I said in earnest, she looked really different now.

  • Mated To The Predator    First And Second Option.

    Chapter 66First And Second Option.It was late into the night when the meeting was held. Outside was cold with the rain pattering on the roof, but inside a stark contrast to that. The room was big enough to contain all the Alphas, Daemon, Oliver and Wilder.Daemon sat at the head of the table, asserting his dominance over everyone. Yes, they were all Alphas, but no one on that table was anything close to being as strong as he was.“Can we begin?” His voice was deep and dark as he shifted slightly in his seat, sitting forward with a straight back, and an aura of a king flowed round him.The room was lit with little lamps which highlighted their faces and their shadows were cast on to the stone wall. The room smelled like burning wood–the burning fireplace that kept the room warm. In the middle of the room sat a uniquely carved table where all men, and one woman, sat around.“What is your purpose for this meeting?” One of the Alphas asked coldly, openly showing his aggression towards t

  • Mated To The Predator    A Patron

    Chapter 65A Patron.Lilian.A knock sounded on the door pulling us out of the current conversation.“Come in.” Daemon responded to the knock, and we all turned towards that black oak door, waiting as it was slowly pushed open.“They are here…" Gamma Nowel, or should I say 'Alpha Nowel' walked into the room, pausing to take in the fading tension in the room.“Who?” Oliver rose from her chair in a fluid motion, her shiny hair falling in waves onto her slim back and waist. Her facial expression had turned neutral as she stared at him.Gamma Nowel, just like everyone else in the pack, was awestruck by her undeniable beauty and smooth voice. So, he turned to her and gave her the nicest smile he had to offer.“The Alphas have gathered. They are in the pack, and they would like to have a meeting tomorrow evening.”“Wasn't the meeting supposed to be held in a week's time?” Oliver questioned, and my eyebrows furrowed in confusion.What meeting? What Alphas?“What's going on?” I inserted mysel

  • Mated To The Predator    Not Possible

    Chapter 64Not Possible.Lilian.“What about my father?” My voice was low when I asked, and their expressions changed instantly.“Look…" Clara said, “Our mother has already said she doesn't know how you are. Please — stop butting into our family. You are causing a lot of inconvenience here.”The rest of them were intrigued with me. My eyes glazed over her and fell on my mother who did not meet my eyes. Her head was hung low, and her shiny black hair was tied into a tight bun. There was something weird about her expression, like she knew who I was but was denying me for some unknown reason.“Then…" I cut my eyes away from her and looked at everyone. “What about grandmother? Mom brought me here when I was five years old.”They were about to make an excuse when a heavy thud was heard from inside, and Eli looked like he just died and resurrected instantly.“She has woken up!” He cursed under his breath and stamped his foot, not hiding his glare from me.I waited, heart pounding slightly,
