Delilah's POV:The next morning, I woke up in a warm and gentle embrace of the Lycan King. He was holding me closer by spooning me, one of his large hands was sprawled over my tiny belly while the other was intertwining my fingers. A small smile adorned my face and I wondered how ecstatic it would feel to start every day like this.I was still deep in my daydreaming when Xee stirred behind me. Pulling me even closer, he whispered in that husky morning voice that had my ovaries screaming for another orgasm, "Good Morning, beautiful."He was nothing but in boxers and I could feel his morning wood poking my ass through the fabric. The events of last night flashed in my mind and that had me pressed my ass firmly against his hardness, "A very good morning indeed," I hummed.Xee groaned at my action and slid his hand under the hem of my shirt. Electricity zinged through my veins as his fingers traced my skin before he palmed my boob, "My dick is already so hard."The image of his cock riding
Xander's POV:Waking up to the most beautiful and gorgeous lady in my arms was something I had never thought would happen to me. 300 years without a mate made me wonder whether the Moon Goddess even bestowed me with one or was the curse was not enough to punish me. All in all, I had lost all hope of a woman in my life.But this alluring beauty with velvety soft skin and melodious voice proved me wrong. Her soft murmurs, rhythmic breathing, and sweetest smile were doing crazy things to my heart. I had thought to give her rest after devouring her all night but the way she was grinding her wet pussy against my morning wood while moaning lustfully, was driving me crazy.Just when I was about to flip her over and take her from behind as I had been dying to do last night but refrained because she was totally drained of energy and sore as hell, the damn phone started ringing.Antonio's name flashed on the screen and I thought It better be worth disturbing me at such a crucial moment, Beta. P
Delilah's POV:After breakfast, Isabelle cleared the table and once again, I and Xee was alone in the room. Resting his chin lazily on his hand, he kept staring at me for a long time, without wavering his gaze for even a bit.A deep blush crept over my cheeks and I finally muttered under my breath, "You look like someone who is totally smitten by me."Shaking my head while chuckling softly, I got up from the table. Just as I turned around, he gripped my hand and pulled me backward. My bottom landed on his lap and his arm snaked around my belly.Xee dipped his face in my hair and inhaled deeply, taking in all of my scent, and mumbled hazily, "I still cannot believe that you are here with me." Grazing his nose on my neck, he reached my ear and whispered hoarsely, "My heart clutched every time you were in front of me but I couldn't have you."The tinge of sorrow in his voice replaced with desire as his hand tightened around my neck and he whispered demonically, "But now I can finally hav
Delilah's POV:Wetness had already started pooling between my legs and my ovaries were not ready to wait till night.Stepping away from me, Xee chirped up, "Should we go for a run?"I raised my eyebrow at the sudden change of topic.His cheeks reddened a bit as he brushed his fingers through the back of his hair, "Umm, my wolf has been dying to meet yours ever since we saw you in the woods last night."He told me that his wolf's name was Fang. I liked that. He also made me understand that our human form and wolf form lived side by side. One of the forms would have an upper hand and mostly, it tends to be the human form. One form can give reins to the other one to come forward and take over. He asked me what name I wanted to give to my wolf. I didn't want to rush such a thing so I replied meekly, "I'll let it come to me naturally."As if suddenly reminded, I winced, "Oh, but I don't know how to shift. Like...how do you do it?"He chuckled softly, radiating the whole place in warm hues,
Delilah's POV:It was as if a new fire ignited inside Xee. Sucking my earlobe, he whispered hoarsely, "Your wish is my command, baby."Smashing his soft lips with mine, he kissed me passionately. As his tongue explored every corner of my mouth, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the pure blissful ecstasy.I panted heavily as he broke the kiss and a smirk adorned his handsome features at my reaction. Grabbing the hem of my tank top, he took it off in one swift motion. A shiver ran down my back as I was left in nothing but a black bra. His eyes darkened as they traveled all over my bare skin. My heartbeat quickened as he stepped closer, wrapped his hand around my waist, and started kissing my neck maniacally. My hands worked hastily on his buttons and took off his shirt. Everything was happening so fast. His hands went to the back of my bra as he continued leaving wet, sloppy kisses all over my neck.Unclasping the bra, he took it off and stepped back to take in the view. A deep blush crept
Delilah's POV:Chilly air ran down my spine and I scooted back to steal his warmth but to my surprise, there was only a cold and very empty mattress beside me. My eyes flew open and I sat up. My gaze scooted around the room but there were no traces of Xee.Getting out of the bed, I stretched my arms over my head when I realized how butt naked I was. Deep blush adorned my face as the images of how ruthlessly Xee fucked me last night flashed in my mind.Collecting my clothes off the floor, I slipped them on and went to the washroom to freshen up.Returning to the room, I waited for any living soul to make an appearance. After about half an hour when the door was still closed, I decided to go out.Outside, my eyes took in the lush and luxurious furnishing of Xee's private wing but my footsteps halted as I heard angry and urgent voices. It was coming from Xee's private office which was located at the far end of the hallway.Tip-toeing toward it, I stopped dead when I heard Addy from inside
Xander's POV:The world stopped around me as soon as she asked me whether she was my mate or not. The hurt in her eyes was raging a storm inside me.I wanted to hold her face, hug her, and tell her over and over again that I have already chosen her for me. She wasn't my mate but I couldn't care any less about that. Instinctively, I took a step toward her and was about to cup her cheek when she suddenly flinched away. Tears were brimming in her eyes but she didn't let go of the facade of bravery, "Yes or No?"The line between right and wrong had already been blurred for me. I opened my mouth to lie to her, anything to give her peace but right at that moment, Antonio opened the mindlink, "Lying would only make the situation worse."My body went rigid, "No one needs to know that she isn't my mate, Beta. We can keep it between you and me. A deep, dark secret we'll take to our graves."Anotonio pushed the matter with urgenct, "What about the curse that can only be broken by your true mate
Delilah’s POV:As soon as I exited the gates of pack mansion, I slumped to the ground in a heap of bawling mess. All the tears I had been trying hard to keep at bay were now flowing out of my eyes. I let my heart cry in mourn. Akira had retreated back into my mind in angst the moment I left his office.She kept begging me to listen to him, to give him a chance but what was there to even discuss? If it had been just about me then I would have stayed with him against all the odds. But how can I ruin the lives of our mates; the one who were made for us, the ones who might be waiting for us.And if what they all told me about fated mates was true then it meant I would never be enough for Xee. He’d only feel complete and content with his fated mate. Also, I didn’t have it in me to insult myself like that.Staying with a man as his side-chick until one day he finally realizes that I was, indeed, not the one. Nope, I am far above that. I have to be the protector of my own heart and I have to
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
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.
