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
Delilah's POV:After a good cry session, I felt relaxed and refreshed. Weird, right? But it seemed like all the burdens, hidden feelings, and unspeakable words were out of me. I felt rejuvenated deep down in my soul.It felt like something had connected inside me. Connected between me and Xee.For once, I could really feel at peace. The fact that fate had brought his fated mate to him and even that couldn't deter him away from his feelings.Cupping my face, Xee placed a gentle kiss on my forehead and murmured, "You are the only one for me."Fresh tears streamed down my face and I hugged him tightly, refusing to ever let him go away from me.Yes, in the past, I had been foolish to push him away or allow any negative thoughts in my mind but not anymore. Things had changed now and I wasn't going to let any misunderstanding come between us from now on.Together, hands in hands, we walked back to the mansion. On the way, I said with a cheerful smile, "I promise to stop acting like a broody
