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. That

    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

    Delilah's POV:I rubbed my forehead to think about what to do now. After a moment, something clicked in my mind, and I jerked toward Xee, "We can take help from Deborah."Addy nodded her head, "Yeah, she too is a powerful witch. Maybe she can lift off the spell that was put on Dorian by Asteria."I was staring at Xee with hope that soon died inside me as his eyes saddened and he shook his head, "Deborah is gone."I screeched out at that, "Gone? What do you mean by gone? And where?"He took a deep breath and informed me, "I have no idea where. All she told me was that she was going out of the continent for good. Maybe what happened with Asteria was taking a toll on her."I swallowed the lump in my throat and urged, "Can't you go and find her just like the last time you did?"Noticing my unrest, Xee crossed the distance between us, and held my shoulders, "I'd have already done that if I could." He sighed tiredly, "But no one knows where she had been off to. I can still try and sift thro

    Delilah's POV:I gestured at Victoria to come closer and have a look at the spell. She trembled slightly as her fingers moved over the page. As a witch, she must be feeling the dark energy of all these spells. I rubbed her back soothingly and asked her to take her time.After a moment, she nodded her head in determination and said firmly, "I am ready."I squeezed her hand lightly, "Let's do it."She picked up the heavy book off the table and we all moved toward the bed where Dorian was lying down. Adeline moved aside to give space to Victoria.Standing beside the bed, Victoria glanced between Dorian and the Book of Spells before swallowing hard. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. My heart started beating erratically as she opened her mouth. Just like Asteria used to do, Victoria started enchanting the spells of foreign language under her breath.Moving closer, she placed her hand in the center of Dorian's chest and gradually increased her speed of enchanting. Words muffled ou

    Delilah's POV:Clenching my fists at my sides, I sprinted out of the room and fled down the stairs. Adeline was right behind me as I jogged all the way to the porch where Bianca was protesting and threatening the guards to let her in. Huh, as if she stood a chance against those deadly lycans.I stomped my foot on the floor and shouted, "What the hell is happening here?"As the guards let her go, Bianca straightened up and looked me up and down. Head tilting to the side, she bit out, "Where is he?" Instead of letting me answer, she cried out, "Where are you hiding that loser of an Omega?"My anger spiked as I narrowed my eyes menacingly, "Don't you dare insult him in front of me again, Bianca."Adeline stepped forward and looked her dead in the eyes, "What exactly are you doing here?"Bianca huffed out angrily, "As if I am interested in talking to you." Her eyes widened as she spit venomously, "Of course, I am here to end this fucking mate bond with that fucker."I folded my arms in fro

    Delilah's POV:Dorian's shoulders slumped down and he kept his gaze on the floor while turning around. The rest of us didn't stop him as he started taking slow steps into the mansion. What exactly could we say to ease his pain or do to lessen his loss? The best thing at the moment was to give him the time to mourn his mate and only then would he be able to move on in life.We followed him inside and watched him take the stairs and vanish into his room. Not being able to watch him like that, Adeline took a step toward his door but was interrupted by Ragnor, "Don't. Now is not the right time."Xee agreed with him, "Ragnor is right. Dorian doesn't need our pity right now. Stay back and be his strength."The next few days went in sadness. Dorian was still rolling in his misery but I could see him getting better with every passing say.After a few days, Xee started taking him to the training grounds where he trained with other warriors. Even though he was an Omega, he was still getting a h

    Delilah's POV:Akira sprinted into the woods, piercing the air, anger still rolling off her in waves. I was hella scared as she kept her gaze forward and raced around the trees. She had never done this before. She had always been a sensible and collected wolf. I tried to reason with her but it seemed like all my pleadings were falling on deaf ears and the more I tried, the more she pushed me back in my mind. She wasn't ready for any conversation.All of a sudden, I heard leaves rustling behind us. Someone was chasing us in the forest. Akira jerked her head around and looked over her shoulder to find the blackest of the wolves dashing in our direction, trying to catch up.I didn't need time to recognize those golden eyes that were now glowing. Fang was faster and sharper but it only aggravated Akira's stubborness and she increased her pace. I could feel Xee trying to mindlink us but Akira was blocking his entry with all her might.After two more failed tries, Xee forced his way into our

    Delilah's POV:With that question still hanging between us, we made our way back to the mansion and changed into new clothes in the shed before moving inside. Everyone filed out near the door and inquired about what happened to Akira and how was she now. I waved their worries away by telling them that she was feeling agitated after what happened to her but was fine now.To correct me, Akira purred in my head, "Perfectly fine, if I must say."Excusing myself, I climbed the stairs and turned toward my room. Making a beeline to the washroom, I stripped and stood under the warm stream of the shower. The water cleared away all the dirt and helped to relax my muscles. I sighed in relief and reached Akira in my mind."How are you doing?" I asked her gently.I could feel all her happy emotions even before she answered, "As good as I can be. Spending time with Fang helped clear my mind and calm me down."A small smile appeared on my lips at her words. No doubt, both our wolves had a deep conne

    Delilah's POV:Rounding the mansion, I reached the back lawn and saw that Xee had already reached there. His hands were bound at his back and he was pacing the length of the gazebo while waiting for me. My scent must have wafted toward him because he suddenly turned his head in my direction.With quick steps, I made my way to the gazebo and said through the ball of nervousness rolling in my stomach, "Hi."He moved his hand forward, "Hey, how're you doing?"I took his hand and helped myself onto the gazebo, "I'm good. You tell?"His eyes roamed all over my face curiously before they pierced my eyes as he asked, "What's up? Is everything okay?"I swallowed before nodding my head slowly, "I think so." As he raised his eyebrow in question, I rushed out, "I just wanted to talk to you."Cocking his head to the side, he inquired, "About what, Dee?"I heaved a heavy breath and let it all out, "About what happened in the forest. To be specific, I am talking about the part where Fang asked Akir

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

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

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

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.
