New Agenda

Lilian.

I woke up feeling more energetic than my usual self, and checking the time on the wall, it seemed like I had missed dinner. I threw my hair off my face and skipped into the adjoining sleek bathroom. Staring at my body and face in the mirror, I realized that I could also use Daemon to level up my life.

A knock sounded on my door, and I offhandedly shouted, “Come in!”

The door opened, and I heard the soft padding of footsteps.

“Lilian? Are you okay? You didn't come for dinner…" Hailey's shaky voice reached my ears and I rolled my eyes and sighed.

Why would I miss dinner over something as stupid as a mate's rejection? I was better than that.

“Hailey, look…" There was a smirk on my face as I stepped out of the bathroom and leaned on its door pane. “I really don't care anymore, okay? They can do whatever they like. Their life, their choices…"

“Oh.” She said in a small voice while looking at me with suspicion written all over her face. “I managed to steal some

    Chapter 25HistoriesLilian.Estelle wasn't awake when I decided to explore Daemon's home. It was colossal that one could get lost in it.“Hey…" A soft voice called out to me, and I turned.“Hey…" I replied to her, smiling. “It's stupid for me to ask, I know, but how many people live here?”She gave a cute giggle and replied. “Well, I'm not so sure myself. I mean, I've only been here for a week, and I've gotten lost a couple of times. Plus, I haven't really met that many people since I came here.”“I guess we are in the same boat.” I gave her my sweetest smile, “You know what?” I gave her a mischievous look. “Why don't we explore this mansion together? That way, we won't feel so lonely if we get lost. What do you say?”Her face drew up in a light-hearted smile as she giggled, and then, I hooked my arm in hers about to go on the little adventure. Immediately our hands touched, I felt my arm tingle in some sort of familiarity. I felt like I knew her, and yet, I couldn't place where I ha

    Chapter 26.The Journal.Lilian.After a longer conversation with Ayana, I wandered back into my room. Pushing the door open, something caught my eyes instantly. The letter on my bed. Kieran had come?I rushed to the bed to pick up the letter, and I took time to unfold it.“Lock your doors and let me in.” It read.I looked towards the window, and there, the black bird sat perched and waited. I turned immediately to lock the door, and I opened the window. Immediately it flew in, the bird transformed directly into the torn-faced Kieran Masters.“It's about time. Have you settled in? What have you found so far?” He asked as he leaned against the window.“Oh please, chill a little…" I said, making my way back to bed. “It has only been a day here, oh, and I have to tell you that my time here is limited.”“What do you mean?” He asked with a small frown on his face.“Well, Daemon is dead set in getting mated to Oliver in the next three weeks, and apparently, I have only three weeks to think

    Chapter 27The Little PlanLilian.I located the living room after I had an early lunch and a lot of discussion with Estelle. Daemon sat leaning into the expensive leather couch with Oliver resting her head in his lap.“Hey, Daemon.” I gave him a small sweet smile, and he sighed, looking away from me.“Have you finally made your decision?” His voice was thick and husky as he looked over at me.A small laugh escaped my throat as I looked towards Oliver, who was giving Daemon a look with those siren eyes of hers. “I don't think you understand that I'm not giving up on you anytime soon. I know this is just a phase you're going through, it will pass soon enough.”“Getting bolder and more confident, I see…” Oliver noted, barely giving me any glance. “Perhaps, does it have anything to do with Daemon ridiculing you earlier? Do you think suddenly upping your self-esteem and confidence will change your mind?”“Ah! My poor heart,” I faked tears of agony. “How could I be so stupid to think that

    Chapter 28Do We Have A Deal?Lilian “What do you think you're doing here?” Daemon asked as his tall frame stood over me, his voice was deadly calm.“I… Uh…" I stuttered for a few seconds before something came into my mind to talk about. “You were taking too long to decide if you'd spend a week with me, but I was really curious to know so much about you.” My head dropped so low in sadness as I said.But Daemon wasn't buying it as he peered at me with disbelief written all over his face. “You wanted to know about me, and you ransacked my room? What exactly are you looking for, Lily?”“Lilian!” I snapped back almost immediately. “And about the ransacking thingy, I just wanted to feel your presence. To get your cologne all over my body, I just wanted to find ways to be closer and connected to you by touching your things…" “And how did you get yourself inside this room?”This time, I replied honestly because even I did not even know why. “Honestly, I was on my way out of your room when

I knew I had a bad dream, but I couldn't grasp the details of the dream.“You're awake…" I heard a cold voice beside me and jumped, startled.“Kieran Masters!” I gritted my teeth in irritation. “What is it now? What do you want?”He gave me a grim look and handed the journals back to me. “This is a really archaic journal. The language is in the first language spoken by werewolves when they were created…"“So?” I snapped at him, not understanding what he wanted or where he was going. I was still reeling from the shock of having a nightmare that I did not want to deal with Kieran's grumbling.“So, I can't translate it. It is over seven centuries old.”I shrugged at him. “Well, that's your problem, not mine.”He pursed his lips before giving me a distasteful stare. “Do you realize that you are feeble without

My hands wanted to reach out and touch his face, but I resisted the urge and gave Daemon a suspicious look.“What is going on?” I asked in a shaky voice as I put more distance between both of us.“I could ask you the same thing, Lilian. Something about you is off.” His voice was hard and his gaze stony as he tucked his hands into his pockets.“Yep!” Wilder said in an unimpressed voice. “Her wolf is gradually coming back, Daemon.” He told his friend and walked out of the room. “See you soon, Lilian.”My wolf?I was still reeling in shock from Wilder's statement. What did he know about...?“He can smell you.” Daemon answered my question as if he knew what I was about to ask. “He is perceptive enough to know if you gave a wolf. It's a thing for vampires.” He said, studying me closely.I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. The tuggi

I felt stupid not knowing what exactly was going on around me. I needed the potion from Kieran, and to accomplish that, I needed to get what he wanted.I turned away from Oliver to find Wilder, and he was lounging in his study when I entered.“Do you want to see your father or not?” I said the moment I barged into his study.He swiveled his chair to turn towards me before he replied. “I've been waiting here for forever, Lilian. What do you want me to do?” He gave me an expressionless face.“Fine.” I paused for a few seconds to catch my breath. “I want Daemon, Oliver, and Hailey out of the house. Including you.”He raised a brow and pursed his lips. “Why? What do you want to do?”“Don't ask.” My voice was hard.“I need to know if you would be inviting different kinds of people into this house when we are gone…"“I don't know anyone in the fi

  • Mated To The Predator    Hello, Mate.

    Chapter 32Hello, Mate.Lilian.It was chaos downstairs when I was able to get down. I was mid-transforming into my wolf when everything went back to normal, and my bones healed faster than they had ever healed before. I was drenched in sweat as I got downstairs. It had taken a lot from me to turn. I also felt my wolf, but she was silent in my head, and anytime I closed my eyes, I felt the familiar electric blue eyes staring back at me.So, that was Laila, my wolf.“There you are.” I heard Wilder's voice as he stared at my figure. “We've been wondering how long it would take before you grace us with your presence.”“Well, I'm here now, ain't I?” I snapped at him.“Sit!” A reverberating voice commanded, and my eyes snapped to Daemon who had a passive expression on his face. “Don't make me say it again.”I wanted to retort, and for the first time I felt the force of my wolf holding me back. She was really strong, and I wondered why she wasn't speaking to me or coming forth. My legs move

    Chapter 43Everything is stillLilian.Oliver and I knelt over Daemon whose face was white with blood dripping from his side. His eyes were closed, and his pink soft lips were now pale and white.“W-wh-what should we do?” I stuttered to Oliver, looking down at my palms and ashamed of myself.I was the cause of this! If only I had listened to Daemon, maybe this wouldn't have happened to him. We could still hear thundering footsteps and shouts from outside the room. Heavy-booted legs were heading our way, and my palms were increasingly getting sweaty and my heart pounding in fear.What was Kieran playing at? He had already gotten the journals. Why was he doing this? What exactly was his aim? I began pondering if we would actually make it out alive, or if he just wanted to capture us and torture us. His last conversation with me was vague, and the threats he kept making calmly… Was this it, or was there something more to come?Oliver pursed her lips and took Daemon's cold hand in hers be

  • Mated To The Predator    It Worked!

    Chapter 42It Worked.Lilian.The first thing I felt was panic, then, a warm hand covered mine instantly calming my rising anxiety. Daemon stood tall next to me, his face passive.“I need you to get to safety, Lilian.” He softly commanded and tried taking my hands.I wriggled from his grasp and shook my head, a defiant expression on my face. “What about you? Huh? You would gladly just walk into your death?”“I cannot be killed, Lilian.” He gritted his teeth as he responded, his eyes darkening with an unknown expression. Then, he sighed. “Please, don't make this hard for any of us. You need to get to safety. I'll handle the rest of the issues with Wilder and Oliver.”The fact that Oliver was mentioned strengthened my resolve in staying back. If I did, Oliver would only mock me for the rest of my life. The rest of my life… How come I never thought of how the rest of my life will be?“He is right, you know.” Oliver instantly agreed with Daemon, and my eyes snapped to her lithe figure. “W

    Chapter 41The First AttackLilian.The moment his lips touched my nape, Daemon was yanked away from me, and my eyes snapped open.“What are you doing, Daemon?” A furious scowl covered Oliver's heart-shaped face as she held him away from me and scowled at him. “Is it so easy to be seduced by her?”A look of confusion was etched on Daemon's face as he staggered backwards, weakly trying to remove himself from Oliver's grasp. His eyes never left mine throughout the process.When had she even entered the room? Were her footsteps that light, or were we so immersed in ourselves that we didn't hear anything else?“What do you think you're doing, Lilian? Can't you get a grip of yourself?” This time, Oliver's cold eyes turned to my figure and she looked furious. “Hasn't he explained the situation to you? Both of you can't be mated! Why do you still want to consciously destroy his life? You claim you're his mate, but you don't care if his suffering continues just so you can mate with him?!”Pu

    Chapter 40I held my breath.Lilian.“It's a two-way thing…” I heard the hushed whisper of her voice. “I can stop your bloodline, while the blood from our mating can save my people…”“Oliver…” His voice was deep and low as well. “What happened to your people?”There was a three-second pause before I heard shuffling on the other end of the door. “You see this mark?” Her voice quivered, “It's a reminder that the days of the sirens are numbered. My people messed with the wrong goddess and this is what we got in return…"“Isn't there any other way…” Daemon's voice was getting irritated and frustrated, I could tell that much, but I hated the fact that I liked the way he sounded towards her.“There is no other way, Daemon…” She tried to explain. “I have checked, read, explored, and I've come to with blanks and the only thing that can save us is our mating blood mixed together.”“Fine…” He said finally. “I'll do it. But before that, do you know how to break a mating bond?”A sharp pain pierc

    Chapter 39Not Letting Go.Lilian.Loneliness… That was all I felt at this point. Hailey would not even look at me, Wilder hated me, and I wouldn't even talk to Oliver. And Daemon? His mind was already made up at this point and nothing could change it.I curled into the big bed and threw on the thick covers over my body. What would I do if I got my memories back? Wouldn't that make me feel just worse than I already felt? I shuddered at the thoughts of being a monster that ended the lives of people…“You sold me out…" A heavy voice behind me said, and I was a little startled.I threw open the covers and my eyes met with the expressionless eyes of Kieran Masters.I shrugged. “I didn't have a choice, plus it turns out I was being foolish after all…" I gave him a smile that did not reach my eyes.“I don't care…" He said and I just smiled.Of course, he didn't care. Nobody did. They were all right, and I was the wrong one who made the stupid decisions and did the terrible things without th

Let's find out what Kieran Masters is really planning for us.”“Is she okay?” I heard Wilder whisper to Daemon, who still had an expressionless face.I marked him, and I knew he could feel the exact emotions I was feeling.“Where is he going to meet you?” Daemon asked, looking straight towards me and ignoring Wilder's question.“In her room, obviously. Where do you think they've been meeting for the past few days she's been here.” Wilder rolled his eyes as he replied to Daemon.There was a sudden shift in the temperature of the room and something dangerous glinting in Daemon's eyes.His eyes hardened and his jaw clenched. “What did you say?” His voice was strained as spoke. “You were in the same room with another m

Is she even supposed to be a choice in the first place?”But Daemon did not turn around to answer, instead, I watched as his figure disappeared through the doorway. Now, it was just Hailey and I left in the room, and a tense silence seemed to engulf us both.“What did she mean?” I turned to face her fully and her face scrunched up in confusion. “Ayana, I mean. Who are you spying on?”“That's none of your business.” She spat out almost immediately, her eyes glowering at me from the distance.“Oh…" I raised my brows in surprise at her reaction. “I think it should begin to matter to you at this point.” There was a glint in my eyes and I could feel my pent-up anger and frustration rising within me.“And why is that?” She g

There were still sparks and tension in the air as all five of us stared everywhere but each other.Hailey found the paintings on the wall interesting, Wilder was fiddling with his vintage shirt, Daemon's hardened gaze was looking out of the window, and Oliver? Oliver's eyes met mine and a crooked smile formed on her face.“How's life treating you, sweetheart?” She tilted her head to the side while giving me a mocking smile. “Not a bed of roses, huh?”I ignored him and my eyes flittered to meet with Daemon's. My pulse raced as his gray orbs lingered on my figure. Were we about to do this?I mean, I wanted it all. I wanted him. Every single piece of him!But I wanted him to want me too, I wanted him to want me not because we had to keep each other from killing ourselves but because he also felt something about the mate bond.“So…" Wilder said in an absentminded voice. “Are you going to get

It was like being stuck in limbo without being able to do anything for yourself.“How would that even happen?” My wolf, Laila asked. “How would we tear each other apart when we have no desire to do so?”Ayana gave Laila a knowing before her lips curled into a small smirk. “You'll know when the time comes, Laila. I wonder how that's going to happen too, you know.” She shrugged. “But your creator has offered a compelling show for us to watch. She has promised that you would deliver his head to us on a gold platter while you surrender yourself to us for our use.”“Us?” Daemon's hard voice filtered in confusion. His left eye twitched as he heard that, and his jaw clenched in anger.Ayana rolled her eyes and flipped her hair away from her face. “You think I'm the only one who wants to watch your destruction?
