Delilah's POV:

The car stopped in front of a huge building with an off-white exterior and a large dome perched at the top. A giant logo of the council was engraved at the front.

Two of the maids rushed to the car and helped me out before adjusting my dress around me. I looked around and my spirit died further as I saw everyone making a grand entrance with someone beside them. Whether it be their parents, friends, or partner, no one was alone beside me.

Telling myself that I didn't need anyone, I held up my chin, straightened my shoulders, and made my way towards the entrance.

My eyes widened in awe as I took in the beautiful interior. It looked all so elegant with the decoration of flowers. Chandeliers with hundreds of tiny lights in them were dangling from the ceiling, casting a warm glow around the place.

A helper stopped beside me and asked for my invitation card. She then took me to the round table with chairs around it. Every chair was designated for a particular person. She tall

    Xander's POV: Antonio had already prepared and submitted the list to the council bearing the names of all the unmated members of my pack who'd be attending the ball under Lucas's supervision. Lucas was not happy with my decision at all but he really didn't have any ground for arguments, still, the fucker kept trying to change my mind but I too stayed persistent. I wasn't going to trample over what I and Delilah had built and go ahead to the Ball to find my mate. I had already made up my mind to have her as my Chosen Mate the moment I got to know she was actually a werewolf. For me, that was a sign enough of fate. On the morning of the ball, Lucas did succeed in his plan when he flung open my office door and stomped inside, "What about Delilah then?" His hair was all disheveled as if he came running here as soon as the idea struck his mind. I raised my eyebrow in question, "What about her?" A sly grin tugged over his lips and I knew I wasn't going to like what he was about to utte

    Delilah's POV: I wasn't expecting him to see Xee outside the restroom. What was he doing there? Barricading my heart in the walls of concrete, I passed around him without sparing him another glance. But I couldn't move much far as a big, meaty hand clasped around my wrist and halted me. I closed my eyes for a moment and allowed myself to relish in his warm touch. Tingles shot at the touch and traveled all over my body, giving me a sense of peace and solace. I despised my body for being a traitor and feeling that way and despised some more at the fact that it was craving more of him. It felt like my heart, body, and mind were running in all different directions and I had no idea whom to follow. My eyes snapped open as he said hoarsely, "You are angry with me." It wasn't a question. It was a statement. I wriggled my wrist to break free from his hold while hissing, "As I should be..." I took in a sharp breath as he stepped behind me, leaving only a minute distance between us, "I nev

    Delilah's POV:My eyes roamed over his handsome but familiar features as my mind tried to register where I had seen him before but his intoxicating scent along with growling Akira in my head, and the cruelty with which he was gripping me were all clouding my senses.Another man, same build but slightly smaller in height approached us and referred to him, "Alpha?"My mate kept staring at me with disgust while sneering, "Yeah, Beta, I have found her." His fingers dug even deeper into my flesh as he spat out, "And I don't fucking know what to do with her."The other man whom he referred to as Beta quickly looked around the hall and sighed, "We can discuss it later. Let's just get going for now."My mate grunted before pushing me harshly toward his Beta, "Throw her in the car. We're going."Beta caught me and clasped his hand around the nape of my neck as he barked, "Move."I stumbled as he pushed me forward. My heart was beating erratically at the sudden turn of events. I turned my head

    Delilah's POV: I swear my eyes must have popped out of their sockets as I just couldn't contain my shock watching Bianca strolling into my mate's room. The bully, cruel Bianca I knew was totally replaced by this soft, elegant lady whose every step screamed grace. Just one look at her made it clear to me that the girl was head over heels in love with my mate. My eyes moved down to her body clad in a loose silk nighty. Her eyes were only for the Alpha as she continued trailing toward him with a slutty smile. At first, she didn't even realize that someone else was also present in the room until she sniffed at the air. Her head whipped in my direction and the storm raged in her eyes as she bit out, "Who is she, Ethan?" And then, all of a sudden, it hit me. I remember a few weeks ago I saw Ethan and Bianca kissing each other at the university gate. And then Adeline words rang in my ears; 'they have been in a relationship for as long as I can remember.' Ethan's eyes stayed glued to Bianc

    Delilah's POV:Shivers ran down my spine as soon as his filthy words registered in my mind. What was I supposed to do? Obey him? Let him use my body just the way he wanted? Was I needed to be submissive to his every command? Was that what mates were like? If yes, then I firmly and outrightly refuse to bow down to this sacred mate bond. With a new determination, I jerked his hand away from my face. Akira jumped forward and whined in my mind, "He is our mate."I remembered how Xee told me that we needed to decide who should handle the rein; human form or a wolf form. And if we choose wolves, then we must tame them accordingly. I reached back to Akira and faced her, "If you think that you deserve such a lowlife bastard as a mate, then you are wrong. I won't allow myself or you to be lured by the mate bond. It's us who'll decide whom to give our heart, body, and soul."I snapped back to reality as Ethan clutched my mouth, and growled in my face, "Oh, so now a whore will decide who to fuc

    Delilah’s POV:By the time I woke up, soft rays of the sun were peeking through the tiny windows, illuminating the place in a soft glow. I stretched my arms over my head and yawned groggily. Rubbing the sleep off my eyes, I roamed my gaze to my surroundings. Stone walls, rough, uneven floor, and chilly atmosphere were enough to bring me the flashbacks of yesterday.In an instant, I was on my feet and scrambling toward the front of the cell I was locked in. I wanted to use my wolf power to break away the bars but who was I kidding? When my hands flew and gripped the bars, I jerked back and hissed in pain. The fucking bars were made of silver, in case any powerful captor tried to break them apart.At that moment, I realized who I was actually fighting against. Alpha Ethan did not only have power but also a mastermind to plan out all the cunning techniques.Sitting there on the ground, I kept waiting for any living soul to enter the dungeons. Surprisingly, the sunlight dimmed down to the

    Dorian's POV: "Make me feel good," Bianca commanded after slamming the door behind her. My head snapped up at her sudden, unannounced arrival, "What happened? Is everything okay?" She bared her teeth to me and screamed aloud, "Who are you to fucking ask me any question? Just do what I asked you to." Closing the book I was reading, I stood from the chair. Approaching her, I observed her closely; erratic heartbeat, hard breathing, hair messed up, pupils dilated, anger rolling off, and asking ME to give her pleasure all indicated only one thing. She had been with Ethan who must have refused her. Because only after being denied by him, her wolf used to get all edgy and she came to me for a release. My gut coiled with disgust whenever she was like this. The way she mocked our sacred bond and was allowed to fuck another man whereas I wasn't even allowed to lay my eyes on her unless and until she desired so. I wanted to push her but whenever I tried to do so, my wolf would go all mad and

    Delilah's POV:A smirk crept over his lips in the dark, "Despite a bunch of disadvantages, there is always one benefit of being an Omega." Creaking the door open, he winked at me, "No one suspects you of anything. They all think an Omega is too dumb or coward to stir trouble."My chin wobbled and I rushed forward to hug him tightly, "Oh, Dorian. Thank you so much for coming for me. I just thought..." My throat clogged at the horrible things that were about to happen to me.He wrapped his arms around my frame, "Of course, Delilah. You are the only friend I ever had. I can't even think to leave you alone in this hell."Breaking the hug, I wiped the tears away, "What now? What are we going to do now?"Crouching down, he placed his backpack on the floor and unzipped it, "Now we are going to get away from here."I looked closely as he fished out two heavy-duty gas masks. Thrusting the one in front of me, he instructed me, "Put it on. And be careful. It must be covering your eyes, nose, and

    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?"

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

    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.
