Delilah's POV:

I ran to the shed near the gate, shifted, and grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt from the drawer. Putting on the clothes, I went back to Antonio, "I am Delilah."

His teeth bared at me, "I know very well who you are. Answer my question now."

I was running out of time. I swallowed and tried to move past him toward the door. A hand clasped around my upper arm and jerked me back, "I am expecting an explanation, girl."

I whimpered under his hard gaze, "I need to see Xee right now. It's urgent. Please, let me go to him or you can tell him that I am here."

He pushed me backward and I stumbled over the stairs before landing on the ground. Before I could move up, he was right onto my face, "Who the fuck do you think you are to order me around?"

I scooted back and finally got up to my feet, "I am Delilah and I need to see him right..."

He cut me off harshly, "Are you his mate?" His head cocked to the side as he mocked me, "Which one? Fated one or the chosen one?" He rubbed

That's so very sad. Seems like she would be better off going back to the humans.

    Delilah's POV: Turning around, I sprinted through the woods and pondered over what to do next. Should I go to the police? Even the thought was laughable. Should I go to the Supernatural Council? But I had no address or number. Should I go to Bianca and tell her that her mate is in danger? But the way she treated Dorian made me doubt if she would even care. I was on the verge of going mad. Never before in my life had I felt so helpless. I despised myself for leaving Dorian alone with those bloodthirsty monsters. Wiping away the angry tears, I turned toward the human residential area and entered the first mart my eyes landed on. I went straight to the counter and rushed out, "Can I make a phone call, please? It's urgent." Maybe it was my condition or desperation but the lady nodded hastily before turning the phone in my direction. I dialed the only person left who would never be deterred from helping me and waited impatiently. The lady walked away in order to give me some privacy and

    Delilah's POV:There was a storm rumbling inside me but still, somehow, all I was feeling was numb. After a beat, I heard Luke's voice that sounded so distant away, "Hey, Minerva, can I please talk to Asteria? It's urgent."There was a silence for a long minute after which I could hear the stoic, emotionless voice of an old lady, "Lucas?"Lucas rushed out in urgency, "Asteria, yes it's me. There's a werewolf that needs your help. Can we please come over right now?"At that, my ears perked up and I slowly moved my head toward Luke. Asteria grunted on the other end, "A favor for a favor, Lucas Cross."Luke said through gritted teeth, "Of course. We'll be there in 5 minutes."As Adeline ended the call, I turned around in my seat, and asked with wide eyes, "What's going on? What's happening?"My gaze shifted to the body of Dorian and then to Adeline. She swallowed before rushing out, "As soon as you told me that Dorian had been to Silverclaw Pack to rescue you but couldn't leave, I knew h

    Delilah's POV: I would have loved to listen to her discovery but the creepy way in which she was gawking at me made me want to run the hell out of there. I could literally feel worms crawling all over my skin but still, I stood my ground and didn't even waver my gaze away. Seemed like Adeline could feel my discomfort as she moved closer to Luke and nudged his elbow. Luke rubbed his hand over his face and walked toward us, "Asteria, I think we can talk about it later on. We don't have much time left as the moon will disappear into the dawn soon." A small, creepy smile crept over Asteria's lips as she whispered, "Later, Delilah." With that, she turned around and I finally exhaled the air stuck in my lungs. Adeline was beside me in an instant. I gripped her arm, "That was odd." Her eyes narrowed down, "And fishy." My eyes followed Asteria as she gracefully stood beside the altar. She touched Dorian's hand and said aloud, "He's been dead for more than two hours." Adeline rushed towa

    Delilah's POV: Adeline was the first one to approach me, "What is she talking about?" I kept gawking at Asteria while responding, "Trust me, you are asking the wrong person here." Asteria's gaze held me in a tight spell. I wanted her to elaborate on the meaning but Luke's eyes constantly shifting to the window kept reminding me that the time was short. Adeline gripped my elbow and shook me, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to." Asteria's widening smile indicated that she was clearly hearing what was being said and was actually enjoying the show. My eyes flew to the altar and my chest tightened at seeing Dorian like that. I wriggled my elbow free, "Dorian is like this just because of me. He had done for me so much and now it's my turn to pay back." Addy seethed out, "We can't trust a witch blindly. You must know it could be dangerous." Tears threatened to spill out as I croaked, "Dorian also knew the danger he was getting himself into, and yet he came for me." I squee

    Delilah's POV:For someone who had lived her entire life as an ordinary human, I was meeting blow after blow ever since I stepped into this town. Now not only was I a werewolf but I was also a healer. Having no idea how to digest the information, I sighed deeply and turned to the altar, "Can we discuss Dorian at the moment, please?"Asteria approached me, "Well, he is fine now. Just so weak and needs abundant rest before he can finally wake up from a deep slumber."I whooshed out a breath of relief but it was just short-lived as another worry gripped me, "We have to keep him hidden from those monsters. They think he is dead, I want to let it stay that way before he finally wakes up and decides for himself."Adeline blurted as a matter of fact, "Then where are we going to keep him? We can't take him to the hostel."Luke spoke up, "I can take him to the pack mansion. I'll just have to call Xander and..."My head flew in his direction as I seethed out, "NO." Anger crept under my skin at

    Delilah's POV:The car screeched to a halt in front of the hostel, and we all got out. Luke swept Adeline off the ground and hugged her tightly. Pressing his nose in her hair, he sniffed deeply. At that moment, my heart clenched at the memory of Xee doing the same with me.I turned my gaze away as they indulged in a deep kiss like no one else existed in this whole world. Breaking apart, Adeline turned toward me and a small smile broke over my lips at the blush creeping up her cheeks. Kissing her forehead, Luke waved me goodbye and opened the car door.Before he could hop in, I blurted out, "Wait..."Raising his eyebrow, Luke inquired, "What happened? Is everything alright?"I took a few steps toward him, "Whatever happened today, I don't want you to tell Xander anything about it."Luke's shoulders slumped slightly, "He is my Alpha, I can't really lie to him."I nibbled at my bottom lip, "I know I am asking too much, but please, try to understand. This is my fight and I don't want to i

    Delilah's POV:Adeline's eyes widened and she wheezed, "But why? What does it even mean?"I shrugged while thinking hard, "I have no clue...maybe something related to me being thrown in the dungeons illegally?"Her head shook in denial, "Ethan's father is a council member, he would go to any extent to bury the matter instead of casting a bad light on his son in front of the entire council."I groaned agitatingly, "What the hell is going on? Couldn't they just tell me the reason for being summoned?"Adeline squeezed my hand, "Relax. How about we call Luke and clarify the matter? The only person who knows about the workings of Council is him."I was glad to have Adeline by my side. How did she manage to be like this? No matter how big the problem was, she would always try to think calmly and find a solution instead of panicking like me.As soon as I approved her idea, she grabbed the phone and dialed his number. Picking up, he snickered mischievously on the other side, "Missing me alrea

    Delilah's POV:Stomping angrily, Adeline jogged to the room and huffed out, "What the hell are you doing here?"Bianca shrugged nonchalantly, "Just thought that I should come and show my sympathy to Delilah."I glared at her and walked to where they stood. Her eyes shifted to me, "Oh, by the way, how was your stay at the dungeons?"Ignoring her, I fished out the key and was about to unlock the door when she started again, "And I also heard that you are summoned to the Council." She tapped her chin as she was very much concerned about me, "If you see things from my point of view then it is pretty obvious that you are stuck deep in the mess."Addy crossed her arms at her chest, "Well, we can't see things from your point of view because it's impossible for us to lower our heads deep into a filthy gutter."A chuckle left me that enraged Bianca even more and she seethed, "Would love to see you being punished tomorrow like a criminal you are."I turned around and faced her calmly, "Don't you

    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.
