Delilah's POV:

Katherine's eyes moved to where Xee was standing, "Of course. Just as I said, I have nothing to hide."

I liked how she was standing up to Xee. I appreciated her courage and squeezed her hand for her to go on.

She breathed in deeply, "For the next few years, my yearly illness decreased because my body became immune to the spell but the fear was ever-increasing. The fear of Rick finding me and taking me back to the shit hole with him made it impossible for me to sleep a wink during those days. If not for illness, I would fall sick because of fear. A simple knock at the door would make my body go cold and shivering."

Her hands were trembling. I wondered if she'd ever get rid of those horrendous memories. Bearing the same shit again and again after every year was unimaginable.

She brought her knees up to her face and wrapped her hands around it in a protective manner, "But Andrew couldn't see me like that. Every year, he would beg me to either go to Council or take help fro

    Delilah's POV:Katherine, Adeline, and I talked for a bit more until the sky darkened and the moon took over. There was a light knock on the door and then Luke peeked inside. Looking at us, he said shyly, "Sorry, girls, but it's my time now."We grinned like a maniac as he whooped Adeline off the bed and heaved her in his arms. After she was gone, I too excused myself and made my way back to my room.It was past 9 pm but there was no sign of Xee in the mansion. Picking up my phone, I left him a few messages to which he didn't respond.Padding toward the washroom, I closed the door behind me and stripped off my clothes. Standing under the stream of hot water, I let it flow down my body and relaxed a bit.The same thought was going around in my mind and I knew that I had to discuss the matter with Xee. I wanted to do whatever was in my power to help Katherine out of this mess.Turning off the shower, I wrapped a bathrobe around myself and sauntered out of the washroom. The room was eeri

    Delilah's POV:He gave me a look while scratching his eyebrow, "Why do I feel that I'm not gonna like it?"I didn't meet his gaze while answering, "Because you probably won't."Gently pulling me to the side, he sat up on the bed and sighed, "Then why do you have to talk about it?"He seemed agitated and I hadn't even started yet. I too sat up, "Because it's important."He wiped his hand through his hair and exhaled loudly, "Delilah, can't we just put things aside for a while and have some quality time together where instead of others, we focus on each other?"I waved my hand in the air, "How am I supposed to ignore the thing that has been on my mind for so long?"He looked at me for a long minute and then said, "Okay, let's get over with it."I took a moment to find the right words to relay what I had in my mind. Taking a deep breath, I started, "Katherine's wolf is on the verge of dying. One more spell and it would be the end of her."His eyebrow quivered higher, "I am well aware of

    Delilah's POV:After the night of turning and tossing on the bed, I got up at 5 am and went out for a run.Akira had been really upset with me. She was furious and agitated for what I did last night. And now she was getting out of control with rage.For the first time ever, she pushed me to the back and took the reins in her hands. I kept myself at bay and let her have her time to clear her head by sprinting into the woods.She pushed her feet against the ground and increased her speed, "I can't believe that you did that," she linked me.I sighed tiredly, "At least, YOU should try to understand me."She let out a low growl, "What exactly were you thinking? Pushing him away...suggesting him to go and mate with someone else...ridiculous."I tried to speak to her but she wasn't ready for a two-way conversation.She huffed out, "Fang was really angry and upset with whatever you said."There was a silence for a small moment after which she uttered firmly, "I have never tried to overpower y

    Delilah's POV:Adeline was furious at me. But more than that, she was astonished.Shaking her head, she huffed, "Seriously, Delilah, you need to stop doing this.""Stop what?" I retorted."Sabotaging your own happiness for others," she gritted out.Peeling off the wall, I eyed her, "So, are you trying to say that I should just ignore everything and everyone and be selfish?"She rolled her eyes dramatically, "All that I am trying to say is that you should just stop worrying about everyone else and start focusing on your own happiness."Walking to the bed, I flopped down, "I...I can't, Addy. Just how can I be happy when Katherine has been like that? It feels so selfish. I just can't stop thinking...""Stop right there. Your overthinking would kill you someday, girl." She started walking in my direction, "And by the way, who said that you need to feel bad about Katherine?"As I looked at her, she shrugged lightly, "From what I have seen, I can say that she is blessed with a loving husban

    Delilah's POV:It had been two days since the arrival of Anderson and the scared and worried Katherine was long gone. They stayed together every minute of the day. Literally, they were practically inseparable and the glow on Katherine's face was enough to confirm that she was happy and content.I was glad that Xee decided to invite Anderson here. It was working great in her recovery. Deep down, I wondered if he brought him here so that I wouldn't suspect him or to show me that I didn't need to feel bad about anything as Katherine was quite happy.We have decided to wait for a few days before Ragnor does the spell for the final time and put her wolf to rest forever. Katherine's mental as well as physical state wasn't that strong at the moment to bear the pain and loss.I have been checking up on her every day and trying to channel healing into her as much as possible. And Anderson was taking care of her every moment. More than anyone, he was making sure that she was eating healthy and s

    Delilah's POV:The next day, when I went down for breakfast, I saw Xee coming out of Katherine's room. He halted as he looked at me and our eyes met for a brief moment before I averted my gaze and strolled into the kitchen.Isabella was preparing the breakfast and I asked her if she needed any help. She denied with a polite smile and I turned around to find Xee standing behind me.He shoved his hands in his pockets and said in a low voice, "Now before you start overthinking, let me tell you why I was in there."I raised my eyebrow and interrupted him, "I don't remember asking you about anything."With that, I passed around him and headed to the dining table. I greeted Adeline and Luke and just like every other day, Xee pushed out a chair for me to sit beside him.I hated how the atmosphere always turned cold and gloomy for everyone whenever we were present in close proximity.Everyone would walk on the eggshells as if a bomb was going to explode at any moment. From his seat, Ragnor lo

    Delilah's POV:Katherine remained silent for a long minute during which my breath was stuck in my lungs. She exchanged a gaze with Anderson and I saw an understanding passing between them.Anderson nodded his head, indicating for her to go on. Did that mean he too knew about it?Looking between me and Xee, Katherine slowly nodded her head, "Of course, I know." She raised her eyebrow, "Why won't I? You do remember that when I came here, my wolf was awake and out of hibernation period, right?"Beside me, Xee asked in a low voice, "So when did you know about it?"Katherine shrugged lightly, "As soon as I woke up after coming here. Aurora recognized you by your scent."Xee exhaled deeply, "I thought you couldn't recognize it because your wolf was weak and fragile."Katherine chuckled softly, "Yes, she is weak but not a fool."A thought nudged at the back of my mind and my eyes widened, "Is that why you were so afraid of Xee after coming here?"Another chuckle escaped her, "Unbelievable, I

    Delilah's POV:Xee looked down at me with amusement in his eyes. He quivered his eyebrows as if to say what-are-you-doing?I simply shrugged my shoulder and turned back to Katherine. The corner of her lips curved up in an amusing smirk, "Oh, is someone being jealous?"I huffed out, "Now why would I be jealous? I have no reason to be jealous when he is already mine." I tightened my hold on Xee's arm.Gosh, what the hell was wrong with me? Why was I being so childish and making a fool of myself? From where exactly this jealousy had kicked in? Maybe it was because now Katherine had accepted and said aloud that Xee was his mate.She raised her eyebrow, "Yours? Are you sure about that, Delilah?"My eyes narrowed down menacingly as Akira came forward and let out a low growl, "What exactly are you insinuating here, Katherine?"She didn't seem bothered by my frustration. She only pouted and tapped her chin, "Well, I never heard you saying that you love him or that you two are together."I let

    EPILOGUE AFTER 7 YEARS: Delilah's POV: "But Mommy, I asked for the chocolate cake. I do not like pineapple one." Elina stated with finality. "Why does it matter, Ellie? 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?"

    Delilah's POV:It was that time of the year.The Claiming Ball was to be held by the Lycan/ Werewolf Council so that all the unmated males and females come in proximity and have a chance to meet their fated mates.As a member of the council, I and Xee were invited to attend the Claiming Ball and we had a good chuckle at the remembrance of our bittersweet memories of the last Ball.I was standing at the side while unmated males and females indulged themselves in the dance as per ritual. 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

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.
