Delilah's POV:

The car screeched to a halt in front of the gates and by the way guards were cowering, it was apparent that they had faced their Alpha's rage just before he left the mansion. I glanced at him and now, he was nodding and smiling at the guards, the mood all freshened up. Gosh, he was so dramatic.

As he parked the car outside the mansion, I and Adeline jumped out and giggled our way inside. Isabella appeared in front of us in an apron, "I am glad to see you back." She then glimpsed at the wall clock and yelped, "Oh, it's already time for dinner. You all go and freshen up and I'll set the table."

Adeline patted her tummy, "Perfect. I don't want the growling of my stomach echoing around the mansion."

Isabella chuckled heartily before padding toward the kitchen. We were about to turn toward the stairs when we heard Xee ordering a maid, "Take Adeline's bag to where she was staying before." He then handed mine to another maid, "And take this to my room."

My cheeks burned red as

    Delilah's POV:The next day went in a frenzy. The moment we woke up, everyone seemed busy and the pack mansion was buzzing with people as we were preparing for the arrival of members of the Vampires and Witches Councils respectively. As it was an official visit, Xee himself received the guests and an official meeting was held in his office which went longer than anyone had expected. After that, they collected the dead bodies of their people and bid us farewell.After noon, we all gathered in the pack ground for the funeral of two werewolves that were found dead in the Shadow Realm. Although Addy had warned me to stay away from the grieving families and not give away any hints of me being a Healer, I couldn't watch them in pain and do nothing about it. Every sob escaping them was nothing but a dagger in my heart. Yes, that's what being a Healer actually meant.Ignoring Addy's glares, I reached the mourning mothers of the deceased and hugged them tightly. But contrary to everyone else,

    Delilah's POV:I was attending my third class of the day when I received a text message from Xee in which he informed me that he was about to go to the cottage now and suggested that I and Adeline should meet him outside the campus after the end of the classes.I met Adeline at the university gates. She too was all tensed up to know about any new update. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for much longer as a shiny, black car halted in front of us.As soon as his door opened, my breath got stuck in my lungs. I was excited as well as dreading to know what happened at the cottage. Did he find Dorian? Any traces of him? Any idea where he could have been?Adeline clutched my hand tightly as she too was waiting for the moment of truth. I swallowed hard as Xee's tall and bulky frame got out of the car and just by looking at his stiff shoulders, my own slouched down. Looking into my eyes, he shook his head in denial. My heart sank in my chest cavity as I thought more and more about Dorian. My i

    Delilah's POV:The next day, I was in the room with my head poking in the dozen books scattered over the study table. It was a weekend but I had a pile of work to do before the end of semester exams which weren't far away now. Right after breakfast, I returned to my room and got with the assignments.At about noon, I heard a light knock on the door and then it creaked open. I looked over my shoulder to find Xee standing in the doorframe with a tray balanced over his hand. As he walked into the room, I glanced at the contents of the tray; a glass of milk and some cookies and sliced fruits.My eyebrows shot up, "Now, what is that?"He lifted the tray higher like a trophy and chirped, "Studies and munching always go along, little Dee."I scrunched up my nose, "You didn't have to. You could have sent Isabella."Placing the tray in front of me, he nodded, "Yes, I could. But I didn't." A subtle smile adorned his lips as he murmured unbelievably, "Despite numerous maids, the Lycan King himsel

    Delilah's POV:My eyes snapped open and I looked at a figure looming over me. In an urgent voice, he rushed out, "Wake up."I jerked up in bed and rasped shockingly, "What? What? What happened?"I grabbed my phone off the bedside table and noticed the time. It was freaking 2 in the morning.Xee took hold of my wrist and nudged me out of the bed, "Let's go."Sliding the comforter aside, I climbed out of the bed and followed him out of the room. He took me to his office and I asked him, "What is it that couldn't have waited for the morning?"He raised his eyebrows, "It really can't." Pacing the floor, he exhaled heavily, "I can't believe how could we leave such a crucial link to Dorian."At the mention of his name, all of my senses alerted and I blurted out, "What link? What are you talking about?"His eyes widened as he said tightly, "I am talking about Bianca, his mate."I sucked in a sharp breath and whispered aloud, finally understanding it, "She is the only one who can mind-link hi

    Delilah's POV:The next morning, at the breakfast table, Xee's phone rang. As I was sitting right next to him, I glimpsed at the screen and saw Lucas's name flashing on it. I stole a glance at Adeline whose eyes were fixated on the screen as well. Xee rejected the call and straightened in his chair.Silence fell over the table. Rolling her eyes, Adeline spoke up, "You guys don't have to walk on shells around me." Slicing the toast, she looked at us, "I am not a heartbroken teenager who will start whimpering and crying just at the mention of his name so no need to treat him as a forbidden topic." She pointed her fork at Xee's phone, "You can pick it up."Clearing his throat, Xee raised his eyebrow, "I never knew that I needed your permission before doing what I want to do." Smiling blankly, he said mockingly, "Thanks for letting me know, by the way."Adeline's eyebrows drew closer in a frown, "I mean, you don't have to ignore him just because of me."Cocking his head to the side, Xee a

    Delilah's POV:For the next whole day, I kept checking my phone for any text messages from Bianca. I didn't want to pressure her and hence decided to give her a day or two before pressing the matter but with every passing minute, my restlessness was spiking a notch as she was my last hope, and this silence from her felt nothing but eerie.In the evening, my anxiety finally got the better of me and I just grabbed my phone and sent a text message to Bianca, "What's the update? Any success?"My eyes kept gluing to the screen as I impatiently waited for her reply. After about half an hour, my phone pinged. My heart sank deeper in my chest as I read her message, "Nothing yet. I am still trying."I hurled my phone on the bed with a groan and started pacing the room. I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't even hear the door creaking open. It was only when I felt a pat on my shoulder did I jumped in fear.I gawked at Addy and gasped, "You startled me!"She shot her eyebrow up, "I kno

    Delilah's POV:As the car screeched to a halt in front of the cottage, I flung the door open and jumped out. Xee and Addy were right behind me as I jogged inside the cottage. Where it was brimming with all sorts of witches a few weeks ago, now it was all abandoned and forgotten.Addy stopped beside me and asked curiously, "What exactly are we doing here?"Xee was the next, "I have already come here and thoroughly searched the place. There is nothing here that can lead us to Dorian."I didn't know how to explain to them what was going on in my mind but I still tried, "For some reason, I can't see Victoria in the negative light."She never gave me villainous vibes or screamed danger. She was the kind of person who remained in their own head without bothering others. Also, she didn't have such a great bond with Asteria to help her in her evil plan.Despite all that, I was confused about one thing and it was Addy who voiced that out, "Then why is she keeping Dorian hidden?"Exactly.

    Delilah's POV:I followed her line of vision and looked over my shoulder to find a very intimidating-looking Lycan King who was fuming with rage. His dark gaze was zeroed in on the junior witch standing in front of me as he assessed her for any danger.He still considered her an enemy which was kinda fair. After what happened with Asteria, it was really hard to trust anyone from the witch's clan but my gut was telling me not to worry about Victoria, and for once, I was going to listen to my gut feeling.I turned back to face Victoria who now had eyes widened to the size of footballs. Behind me, Xee let out a low growl and her shoulders trembled as she took a step back. Rolling my eyes, I moved and blocked her view of the scowling and enraged Lycan King.Beside me, Adeline waved her hand in the air and huffed out, "Oh, don't worry about him. He'll not hurt you," her voice dropped down to a cold and dark whisper, "unless you pose a threat to us or have tried to hurt Dorian."I groaned l

It's okay if mommy couldn't get a chocolate cake," responded Liam. At that, Elina narrowed her eyes menacingly at her brother and reprimanded the innocent soul, "Some of us do have tastes and standards, Lee. It's my birthday, I get to have all that I want today." "As if that doesn't happen every other day of the year," Adeline chuckled. Elina pretended to gasp and hooked her hands on her hips, "Aunt Addy, that's not fair. You ought to be on the girls' team." Liam reminded her as an afterthought, "By the way, it's my birthday too." Eline tried to roll her eyes, another thing she had learned from her beloved Aunt Addy, "Ugh, please don't keep reminding me that. I don't like the fact that I even have to share a birthday with you, Liam." I have no idea how I got to have two kids with completely different personali

    Delilah's POV:A moment later, the whole lawn glowed in the soft, golden glow. The whole setup was looking even more beautiful at night, exceeding all of my expectations. His footsteps halted as Xee was taken aback by the arrangements. Tilting his head to the sides, he assessed the whole area twinkling in the fairy lights and fresh flower decor. And then, his eyes widened as they landed on me. He took his time to gawk at me from head to toe multiple times, reincarnating all the butterflies in my stomach. Resuming his steps, which were slower now, he walked over to me. Grabbing my hand in a gentle hold, he lifted it and placed a soft kiss on its back, "I am 100% sure that I am not forgetting any important date. It isn't your birthday today nor any important day for us." I let out a soft chuckle, "You are kinda right." Letting go of my hand, he wrapped his big palms around my waist and whispered in my ear, "Then to what do I owe the pleasure to behold such a glamorous beauty today?"

My eyes spotted Xee busy in a conversation with the other members of the Council.I was just about to make my way over to him when a tall figure blocked my way. I lifted my head to find a young man whom I had never seen before.I tilted my head to the side, "Have we met before?"He kept staring at me and then finally shook his head, "I hate to say this but no, we haven't met before."My eyebrows creased together. He was probably from some other territory who was attending the annual ball in the hope of

    Delilah's POV: The next morning, I woke up to the sound of commotion. My eyes peeked open and I yawned, already feeling the soreness in my body. I winced at the pain when I stood up and slowly walked to the window. My eyes widened with shock as I saw Ethan standing in front of the mansion, hollering at the top of his lungs, "I don't give a fuck. Let me go inside this instant or otherwise..." He clamped his mouth shut when a new guard stopped by the gate, "The King said to let him inside." The guards opened the gate and Ethan huffed angrily before making his way inside the mansion. What the hell was he doing here? Quicking donning my PJs, I made my way downstairs slowly, thanks to the soreness. I arrived in the hall just in time to see Ethan entering. Xee was sitting on the couch in a suit, sipping his black coffee whereas Ethan was looking all disheveled and upset. He stopped in front of Xee and yelled, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Xee kept his calm and only raised his eye

    Delilah's POV: As a wedding present, Xee had gifted the Europe tour for Luke and Addy. Due to some issue with tickets, they had to leave the night of the wedding day. After the reception was over and the guests were gone, we returned to the mansion. Everything seemed to happen in a fast motion and none of us rested until after bidding farewell to the newlywed couple for their honeymoon. It was only once they were gone had I returned to my room. It was such a hectic day and I couldn't wait to don my comfortable PJs and hit the soft mattress. Standing in front of the vanity, I was removing my makeup when the door flung open. In came the Lycan King, looking heavenly gorgeous in the black tuxedo. Hot lava spilled inside me as I noticed his eyes traveling down my body. His hand curved around the nape of his neck and he smiled, "You were looking so beautiful today that it was practically impossible to peel my eyes off of you." I knew he was right. I had constantly felt a pair of eyes g

    3 Months Later: Delilah's POV:"I am really getting concerned about you, Delilah," I heard Xee behind me.I looked over my shoulder and found him with a tray in his hands, "Why is that?"He placed the tray holding a glass of milk and cookies on the coffee table and walked over to my desk, "Because for the last 3 months, you've been working nonstop."I let out a soft chuckle, "Now you are exaggerating."His eyebrow quivered higher, "No, I am not. Can't remember the time when I've not seen you hunched up on the desk, sticking your nose in all those books, jotting down your notes, and whatnot."Well, he was kind of right about that. Lately, I have been having a really hectic routine. After waking up early in the morning, I'd go to training. After breakfast, I'd be in the clinic that Xee had recently built me in his territory. I have been working hard to polish my skills as a Healer.I have started treating patients and I loved interacting with all the people. Occasionally, I'd even go on

    Delilah's POV:Once again, I became the target of everyone's attention but I didn't let the nervousness or panic get hold of me as they all turned their eyes toward me.Instead, I took a deep breath and got up from my seat. Addy rushed in my direction, "What happened, Dee? Why are you interrupting?"I made a mental note to have a proper talk with Addy after returning to the mansion but for now, I had something more important to take care of.Without responding to her, I turned around and jumped down the stage. Gasps chorused around me as I landed on the Duel Ground but I paid none of it any heed.I kept walking to where Xee was pinning Ryan to the ground. The frown between Xee's brows deepened. He opened the mindlink, "What are you doing here?"He didn't sound pleased at all. Well, we were on the same page then. Shutting the mindlink down, I reached him. I tried to keep my calm but my nostrils still flared when I ordered Xee, "Get off of him, Alpha."A flash of betrayal shone in Xee's

    Delilah's POV:"What have you been doing all day?" Addy asked curiously.I closed the journal I was writing on and shrugged lightly, "Just working on a few important things."Her gaze shifted to my study table but she passed no comment. Nodding her head, she said, "I am waiting downstairs. Be quick."Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I turned toward my closet and took out a pair of black jeans and a black shirt. It took me no more than fifteen minutes to get ready.When I climbed down the stairs, I noticed that the mansion was eerily quiet and empty. My eyes swept the area, "Has everybody gone to the duel?"Addy raised her eyebrow and remarked, "Who exactly would want to miss the chance to experience such a duel?"At this point, I was confirmed that my best friend had gone crazy just by living among the lycans for a few months.The car was already waiting for us outside the mansion. As soon as we settled inside, the driver revved up the engine and started driving toward the Council

    Delilah's POV:In the room, I kept pacing the floor restlessly with a thousand thoughts swirling in my mind. It was only when I heard a knock on the door I took a breath of relief.I rushed to open the door and inhaled sharply at the sight of Isabella standing on the other side with a cup of coffee.I ushered her inside and closed the door behind her. She smiled lightly and placed the cup on the coffee table. She was about to go back when I blocked her way to the door.She eyed me nervously. I wondered whether she was thinking the same thing that I was.My eyebrow quivered higher as I inquired, "What do you know about Ryan Hooper, Isabella?"Her eyes widened as she swallowed the lump in her throat, "We are not to talk about him in this mansion."I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to make her understand calmly, "I don't care about that, Isabella. Just know that it is very important for me to know all that you do."She fidgeted her fingers together nervously, weighing her options.
