LILITHIt has been almost two weeks since I heard from Matteo. Nora has been busy lately with Gavner and taking care of Horace.Unfortunately, he hasn't regained consciousness yet. I feel lonely because there's nothing here for me... I feel like I'm trapped here, though I'm here on my own accord.Lastly, memories of my parents' deaths have been flashing right in my eyes, and it's made me realize I have a responsibility to take care of. I must make sure that those responsible for their unfortunate deaths pay for their crimes, and I don't care if I have to kill to make that happen.Thinking about Matteo being my mate while he still doesn't want me makes me sick to my stomach. I just sit in this room all day, hoping and praying that he rejects me rather than making me feel like he is going to change his mind when he isn't going to do that.The wind blew as the trees bent over in the direction of the wind, pushing the windows open as it landed on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.Th
LILITHThe moment she let out those words from her mouth, I felt a sudden surge in me, urging me to let her know her place.How dare she utter anything that had to do with my parents?Mourning my parents?What else was she planning?To have me killed?I could feel the scorching heat in my eyes as it hurt me so badly. I knew what was coming, but I didn't want to do anything to her now. "I have no idea why you came to me, but I want to let you know that the moment you try to lay your hand on Nora... I won't take it easy with you, and I mean it.""And why should I be scared of you? I will be ahead of you in every single thing, and you won't be able to do a shit about it."When I found out from some gossiping witches that Ophelia was once a court maiden in this pack, I knew things wouldn't end well here. I was so bothered as if there was something special here.Then I heard she gave birth to a son, and the Alpha pronounced her dead, but she bore a second son for him.Wolves can be so craz
THIRD PERSON POVRodriguez walked into the meeting room along with Ophelia as they stared at everyone present at the meeting hall.After much contemplation from his mother on taking over the throne since Horace was still unconscious, Rodriguez was glad that Matteo was present. It would be great if Matteo explained to Horace how this event took place.His eyes darted over to the opposite direction of the room, where his gaze fell on Gavner. Weariness washed down his guts, but he recomposed himself and sat on a chair beside his mother."Son of Ophelia, Rodriguez, why have you called us all here? For what reason could it be?" Michael asked as he tapped his fingers on the table, making a clicking, uncomfortable sound.His questions fell to the mud when three minutes were already over and no one—not even Rodriguez—could give him a response.He knew that it was a bad sign for one of the brothers to summon the entire council when his elder brother was sick in the hospital.Ophelia looked up,
Seeing how tense the room was, Rodriguez got upset and decided to speak up. He hated it when anyone spoke ill of his mother."Enough of all of that!" Rodriguez ordered as Ashley rolled her eyes, hissing at his order.He felt belittled and disoriented... they couldn't even listen to him now, and this made him desire the throne more. He became certain that even though they didn't care about him as the son of the late Alpha when he got to become the next Alpha, they would definitely obey him."This is just like a child's play... you can't bring us all here to talk bullshit. Go straight to the point and tell us why you asked us to be here." Matteo struggled to speak without anger visible in his voice.Michael, Ashley, and Albert nodded their heads in confirmation of what Matteo had spoken about, while Logan couldn't help but glare at the mother and son."All you've been saying to us is that the people demand a new alpha... we all have been in this pack, praying and keeping our hopes high
THIRD PERSON POV "What!" Ophelia screamed as she paced around her room. She had just returned from the meeting room.Rodriguez had declared himself Alpha, and there was nothing anyone could do about it."What do you mean by Lucius and Rowena being dead? With his brother?" Ophelia asked Orion.The last time she had seen them was at the meeting with Lord Vlad and Lord Alaric, and it came as a shock to her because they were among the strongest in the coven.So she thought... She just thought that whoever killed them must be really strong.Orion sighed, "Yes, they took one of the dwarfs to attack the Tribrid, so she ripped them apart and burned their bodies," he explained, according to what the raven had told him.Ophelia's eyes widened as she placed her hands on her mouth. "The tribrid? She did that to them?" whispering, her voice shallow as veins popped out of her hands.She knew Lucius was stubborn, but she had no idea he would drag his brother to approach the Tribrid. The Lucius clan
NORA"Doctor, what do you mean? My husband has been lying there unconscious for the past four weeks, and you are not doing anything about it." I said, barging into the doctor's office.He kept on telling me every single day in the past four weeks that Horace would wake up soon, but now that this is the last day of the fourth week, Horace hasn't woken up.That's crazy.Doctor Charlie frowned at me, but I didn't care... all I wanted was Horace. He and he alone, not this damn hospital, this God-forsaken place"His condition is out of our hands... he is responding to treatments, but he isn't waking up, and that's surprising because I've never seen such a situation before," Doctor Charlie explained.Even though he was making sense, in my ears all I wanted to hear was, 'Alright, I will go and wake your husband up.' But he wasn't saying that to me.He is repeating the same thing over and over again, and I am tired of hearing it."His condition is something I have never experienced... most ti
ANGELICAI strolled into Gavner's chamber, upset like never before. I have never been so furious in my life. I thought I had Gavner to herself, and now this happened.Even when I summoned up the courage to confront Nora, I realized she had the upper hand over me.Pushing the door open as I stormed into Gavner's room, I asked, Gavner, why?" Tears streamed down from my eyes.I had no idea where to start to ask him questions... he had already made up his mind on who he wanted.Gavner turned to stare at me. "Angel, what do you want now?" he asked, his voice fierce and authoritative.He looked away from me, making me feel like I was a nobody to him.Gavner, you slept with Nora, he said, walking and stopping in front of me.Gavner raised his head, glaring at me. "Is that what you came to tell me?" He cocked his head.I couldn't believe my ears. I thought he was going to ask for my forgiveness or something like that, but he didn't even care. He didn't give a dam about me.Messing around with
NORASitting by the edge of the bed as I wondered how I could get pregnant, in as much as I was confused about who the father of my child was, I wouldn't lie to myself that I wasn't aware of who the father of my child is.I just needed to be sure because given the condition and situation I find myself in these days, I can't mess up the life of my unborn child because of it.Lowering my head, I stared at my flat belly, still comprehending how possible it was. I haven't fixed my life, and now I carry a living foetus inside me.My life is a hot mess, and I want to bring forth a child to suffer just like I am suffering.Rubbing my baby bump—even though it was still flat—one thing was sure: I have a baby in me. My child.The door creaked open, and looking up, I stared at Doctor Charlie as he walked in. I remembered asking him to run a test just for me to be sure that he was the father of my child.Clenching my jaw, I asked, "How did it go?" I asked, widening my eyes and leaning forward in
