Those words felt like a slap had just landed on her face grazing her ears.Delilah blinked stupidly looking at Liam as the Alpha watched her closely."Is there a problem" he asked his voice low and soft almost as if he was pitying her.Delilah opened her mouth to speak, to tell the truth.She was his mate, not Kate. She caught Adam's eyes from where he stood and her mouth sealed shut.His eyes were glowing amber, a slight warning that if she tried anyhting funny or said anything she would regret it."Is there a problem? Liam asked again and this tome around Delilah could feel the cold creeping into his voice.He wasn't the type of person who liked to ask questions twice."No your Alpha '' Delilah said, bowing her head as tears prickled at the corner of her eyes."Good, My Beta Adam will tell.you your duties as my mates servant. I trust you would do well."Delilah felt her chest tightening. Once again love had been stripped away from her, once again something that rightfully belonged t
With a jerk Kai sat up in bed, his breath leaving his mouth in gasps of fear. He looked around him. His eyes darted wildly around the space he was in. He only calmed down as soon as he found out it was just his room. Fuck. Kai rubbed at his face as he tried to get his breathing under control. The dreams had started again. Like something that was returning from the pits of hell. Ever since his encounter with Rudolf they had returned slowly at first but this night was the most violent of them all. He took a deep breath and moved over to the edge of the bed, rubbing his temple slowly in semi circles. Three years. That amount of time should have been enough for him to put the past behind him. Yet the reverse was the case. It was apparent now that he hadn't forgotten any of the demons that plagued him. The dream was always the same. He was in the woods, as a human and he was being hunted. Not by humans like him but by wolves and in that dream he had recognised one of the wolves.
"I heard you don't have a wolf?" It was sometime around seven in the morning. Kate had sent Delilah to the kitchen to make her a cup of coffee. Adam had made sure she tended to Kate as per the Alpha's order for her to become Kate's servant. Delilah didn't want to waste time arguing or resisting. Adam made it clear what would happen if she resisted him or started arguments. Delilah knew Adam was one of those dangerous wolves and she wasn't about to get on his bad side yet. She wanted to study the pack know her friends and her foes but it wasn't as easy as she thought it was going to be. Someone had told half the pack members that she didn't have a wolf and it was preventing her from making any real freinship. That morning the Alpha had been on her mind. Last night at the dungeon wasn't going to get out of her head in a hurry. It was living there rent free. His smell, the proximity of him to her and the way her body responded when he had whispered in her ear. Delilah hadn't be
It was a strange dream. The last time she had it was five years ago and ever since then the dream hadn't recurred.Seeing herself in the environment again was like a jolt to her. How did she know it was a dream though?She always felt so distant from what was happening. The events were there unfolding before her eyes but rather it felt like she was looking at it through a mirror.A distant mirror, unable to do anything but just watch.Delilah was in the woods again. She was barefoot and the dry leaves and snapped twigs poked at her exposed flesh.In front of her she could see lights in the distance, orange flickering lights that led her to believe it was camp fires.In the dream she was always drawn to the light. It called her like a bulb would call to a moth after a downpour.Delilah walked toward the light her whole concentration fixed on getting to the light.No other thing in the woods mattered at that moment except reaching the source of that light.She walked on and after a few
She took a blade dipped in wolfsbane and slit her own throat. Kai could barely believe what Dutt had just told him. Rose couldn't kill herself, it was impossible. It wasn't not in her captain ter to committ suicide. Yet the hard look in Dutt's eyes told him what the Beta had just said wasnt some sick joke. Rose was really dead. "Shocking right? That's what I thought too; those of us who saw it happen couldn't believe it." Kai was still having a hard time wrapping his head around what he had just been told. Knowing Rose right from when the both of them were little it was hard to believe she had committed suicide. Kai rubbed at his face just the idea was surreal. "How did Liam react to this?" Dutt suddenly had a grim look on his face. "Normal, he went about his day like nothing had happened, like his Luna hadn't taken her own life." Liams actions three years ago had taught Lai a bitter lesson. No one could be trusted. If anyone had ever told him his best friend was capable
When Delilah opened her eyes she couldn't move. Everything hurt.It felt like a million little pins were being driven into her body at that moment.She just lay on her back her eyes open, string at the ceiling of the room.Tears were streaming down from her eyes and no matter how much she blinked them back they kept flowing freely like a running tap. Delilah tried to lift her back from the ground bit a sharp pain lanced through her skull making her wince in pain as she settle snack on the ground.She didn't want to look at her body afraid of the marks she would see there. Afraid of the scars that would be left behind by Kaye's maltreatment.It was better not to look at them at that instant. Anything was better than a reminder of how weak and helpless she was against wolves.Against the same kind she had been born into.Life was cruel and in some way she had come to terms with that.Maybe Kate had been right all along, maybe she was never destined to be happy, maybe she was going to k
As the sun rose out from beneath the cloud cover bathing the sky in an orange halo Delilah was already up and staring at her window.Last night was difficult for her as she couldn't sleep.Thoughts plagued her mind like a disease but the one at the core centre was her escape from the hell she resided in.Delilah was done. She wanted nothing to do with this pack, wanted nothing to do with her mate.All she wanted at that moment was to leave, escape, find a way out.But it was going to be difficult. The pack manor was big unlike the settlement of her former pack and she wasn't exactly sure of the layout of the Manor.Either way she had already made up her mind. Today was the last day here.What scared Delilah most of all wasn't Kate's bullying or Adam aggressive behaviour.Rather it was Liam. Something was definitely wrong with the Alpha, it wasn't something one could easily place but it was there.Liam was like a ticking time bomb, full of rage and explosive power.There was no way De
The rest of the day Delilah had spent it looking through the windows of every room in the pack Manor.She discovered two things.One, under every window was a ledge that was wide enough for someone to walk on top. Two escape were going to be as difficult as she thought.But she was determined to do it. She wasn't going to spend another day in this manor…in this pack.After taking Kate's kicks she had gone through the rest of her days duties without a word.The jerring and taunting from the pack wolves who knew she was wolf less didn't bother her again. All Delilah fixed her concentration on was the eventual escape.She thought about it, daydreamt of it. She could even taste it.Soon the sun was setting and the sky was turning grey. After her day's work of serving Kate like a beast of burden she retired to her room exhausted but ready.Delilah quickly went ahead to pack her things. She didn't own much so fortunately that wasn't a problem.After she was done packing came the difficult p
Dean knew something was different the moment he opened his eyes that morning. He was like that; sometimes he could know what would happen even before it would happen or after it happened.His outstretched arms were draped on the bed and from the empty space there and the way that the bed sheet still seemed perfectly arranged he knew instantly that his wife hadn’t slept there.Dean wasn’t surprised, shortly after the news about Kate’s death reached her he had started to notice some changes in Jean.For one he was suddenly withdrawn as through the death of her child had opened to her eyes the possibilities that she hadn’t seen before. But the most funny part of it all was the scent he got off her sometimes.It was the scent of sex and another wolf. Jean was sleeping out he knew and the fact that she thought she could sleep with a wolf in their pack here and climb into his bed after she had done the evil deed brought a wide grin across his face.There was nothing that pleased him more th
Delilah moved through the room quickly. Grated it wasn't her room hit she needed to take some clothes lest she got naked as she went on the search for a place to stay. As she opened the closet where there was a few clothes she asked herself why she suddenly turned around and returned to this room. Her original plan had been to leave as soon as she saw Kai had killed Liam but in the end she count follow through with her plan. She was almost halfway away from the pack when she simply turned around and returned. Maybe it was this longing to see Kai one last time that had driven her back to the Healer pack. Whatever it was she couldn't tell and now as she paced the small room trying to gather her thoughts, she w
The feeling that went through Delilah when she shifted for the first time was like a dash of dopamine. She wanted more and more and more of the electric feeling that was running through her body.If there was anybody who had ever told her that it would hurt then right there and then she would have called the person a fool. Shifting for the first time for her had come as a dopamine rush.Shifting hadn’t hurt one bit, it had come to her so smoothly that she barely had time to notice the changes that were taking place within her body. One minute she had been standing calling ion her wolf and the next minute Lilah had taken over completely.The power flooding through her at that moment was enormous, she felt invincible, she felt like her enemies would die with a single sweep of her mighty paws and she could crush bones with a snap of her jaws.Her hearing, her sight, her smell were all enhanced and her wolf at that moment was screaming for one
Delilah stood behind the gathered pack, keeping her distance as Kai climbed to a makeshift platform the pack had erected for him to be able to give his speech today. She watched him as he walked the short way to the platform and stood gazing down at the crowd. As he stood there, Delilah felt affection for him course through her. The both of them had come a long way fought through a lot of hair and both of them had come out victorious. On the platform behind Kai were the remaining Betas from Liam's pack, who had survived the attack yesterday. Members of the healer pack had tied them up, and as they waited for Kai to pass his final judgment. As soon as Kai faces the pack, the earlier murmur that had been prese
Kia knew he had the upper hand with Liam, he could tell he was getting weak, there was a slash on one of his head, legs and he was limping. It had taken him some time to be able to get that wound in. But it had cost him too; Lim had gotten to his eyes, his left eyes specifically. It just lay there on his face dripping blood riddled of any vision. Kia was worried; if an attack came at his blind side he wasn’t sure he would be able to see it. The Betas and the healer pack were watching, eyes fixed intensively on the fight unfolding before their eyes. He couldn’t let Liam win; it would be like committing suicide if he let him win. One way or the other he was going to end this cycle of violence. Too weak to come at me? He still had that cocky voice like he still had everything under control but that was far from the case. Why don’t you come at me, or your leg won’t let you? They circled each
"What does this tattoo mean."It had taken a while but with the help of Miranda and members of the Healer pack Kai had been able to round up the remaining Silver Moon Betas that had survived the fight.Now without an Alpha the pack was ready to accept him as their Alpha because he was the one who had fallen the old Alpha as per the law.But Kai wasn't really enthusiastic about becoming an Alpha. For now he just wanted some peace and quiet.Miranda has temporarily appointed someone from her pack to act as standing Alpha till Kai was ready to take up the mantle.Delilah was sleeping in one of the empty tents and images of her naked butt under the display of her gown filtered into his mind as his cock pushed against his pants. He had to be careful about his thoughts, Miranda always had a way of finding out.Miranda took a closer look at the tattoo frowning for a
Delilah rolled out of the way even with the slash on her back sending jolts of pain coursing through her body. Liam and Kai were already in combat with their wolf forms as they both circled each other brutishly strong and powerful.Delilah was aware of arms lifting her to her feet and the pain in her back intensifying. The rest of the Beta's that had arrived with Liam just stood there watching obeying the natural set law.She was aware of the arms that were carrying her, lifting her up, so that her face was to the sky and she marveled at how peaceful the sky was in contrast to the madness that was going on below it.There was a sticky feeling in her back and she was aware of blood running down the small of her back as she was being moved to somewhere she didn't know.
Sitting on the stump of the tree, the image of Delilah’s face as she yelled at him kept flashing before his eyes. Each time it popped up Kai pushed it down in a hurry.He wasn’t about to start feeling guilty for the decision he made. There was nothing he could do about it now.Yet why was he feeling this strange feeling of anguish in his heart as he thought about what he had said and the way Delilah had felt.He was right though, even though they weren’t friends again and hadn’t talked to each other for three years he knew Liam more that his once upon a time best friend knew himself.Lima would never stop until he had Delilah within his grasp and he would kill and destroy just to make sure he got what he wanted.
As soon as the man who had delivered the message finished Delilha was up on her feet, her heart beating madly in her chest. She was torn between two emotions.Rage at what her uncle had done to her and her parents and fear at the wolves who had just infiltrated the healer pack."How?" that's not possible Miranda said, staring pointedly at the man."Apparently they tracked someone here the Betas outside are requesting to meet someone named Delilah.Delilah's heart sank at those words. It was definitely Liam and his pack there was no doubt about it."She's my guest and she's in my grounds. Tell them to leave."
