She was awoken by the sound of a door opening. She fell out of the cart and grazed her knees. Someone forcefully pulled her off the ground. It was Leon. He was always in a bad mood. There was no time she ever saw him smiling. He pulled her off the ground with force and hit her back against the cart. She groaned and closed her eyes in pain. "Listen to me," He whispered hotly into her ears. "There's someone else who looks like you in there all because of the stupid thing you did! For weeks, I searched for you. We were worried because there was a possibility of someone finding out! So you're going in with me now discreetly and if you so much make yourself noticeable to anyone, I'll make sure you suffer terribly for it. Get that?!" "Yes," She whimpered and he pulled her off the cart. It was late in the night already and they were at the boundaries of the pack. No one was in sight and it was easy for them to navigate through the woods. As soon as they came out to the
The next morning, Lillith woke up with tears in her eyes and to someone in her room. At first, she thought she was still having a dream. In her dream, her mother had come into her room, taken a seat by her bed and slowly, she had started to stroke her cheek lovingly. She was really happy to see her mother after several long years. Right after her parent's death, she had dreamt of them both. Over the months, her father disappeared and a few weeks later, she stopped having dreams about them. But tonight was the first night in years. And her mother was smiling this time. She didn't have that look of horror on her face as she gasped for breath and gave up the ghost. They had spoken for a while— mother to daughter. And Lillith hadn't failed to tell her every detail of her life. She was sad, she was in great danger and her life didn't turn out the way she wanted it to. Her mother's last words before she woke up were; "I believe you can do anything. You're strong,
As soon as Delilah left, Lillith broke down into tears. This was the end for her. She didn't need a soothsayer to tell her that Delilah wasn't going to keep to her promise and as she sobbed, the door opened. She immediately stood to her feet, wiping her tears off. A maid walked in. She was taken aback by how tattered Lillith looked and no one had to tell her that something had gone wrong. "Alpha Leon requests for your presence. He wants you to get cleaned up and dressed." Leon was seated in the drawing room with the elders that supported him. He had spoken to them privately after their last meeting and they met this morning. "I have called you three privately and that is because I trust you," He said as he looked from one man to the other. "And I hope there won't be any reason for me not to. You were all around to witness the assassination of my parents and you know why I am back here," The first man, Quentin, stood to his feet. He was the eldest of the
Delilah placed both of her thumbs on either side of Petra's temple. She still struggled to be free. She wasn't ready to become her normal self as it was dangerous. She had also fallen in love with Leon and believed there was a chance for them both even after he had rejected her. Delilah went on for a minute, reciting her mantra till she transformed. The jet black hair belonging to Lillith's features transformed to a shade of honey blond. Her once icy blue eyes changed into coffee brown. She fell to the ground, unconscious. Delilah took a step back and turned to Lucian. "Take her out of this place," "Do we keep her?" Leon asked as he watched the unconscious woman with a small atom of worry on his face. He hadn't really cared about her but when she told him how her parents had been killed, he had seen her in another light. He wanted to help her avenge her parents' death. She also said her life was in danger if she went back. "It's up to you, Leon," Delilah replied a
Lillith was taken back to her room but she knew this would be her last night here. What exactly was he planning? Why did he seem to hate her? Why was it so hard for him to understand that she had only run for her life and that of the child she was protecting? Well, he didn't know she was carrying a baby. One she had no idea who it belonged to. Thinking about it now, she wished she had seen whoever had gone into her that night. She sat on the floor throughout the day, shedding tears and wishing there was a way she could end all of these! She pulled her hair while sobbing heavily and anytime she heard approaching footsteps, she would flinch in fear, thinking they were coming for her. She remained in that position till she heard a knock on her door. She stood to her feet immediately, feeling her heart thumping wildly against her chest. She knew the worst was coming for her. A maid walked in. She bowed slightly. "Alpha Leon wants you to get dressed beautifully.
Lillith was floating now. She had totally forgotten that the man touching her so sensually hated her to his bones. He was a different person to her now, kissing her all other her body and stroking her clitoris with his fingers. Her moans filled the room and she arched her hip towards him. His lips left her breasts and when she protested, held her hands back. He kissed the middle of her breast and continued down her body, slowly and softly. He continued till he got to her waist. She jerked at the sensation. That was her most sensitive part and he had unlocked it. Her fingers slipped into his hair as she began to stroke softly. He kissed the middle of her parted thighs and when his tongue touched her wetness, she cried out as pleasure shot up her waist to meet his lips. He savored her wetness, lapping at her juices. He stuck his tongue into hers scouring every corner, in search of her every taste. He continued till she could feel herself nearly explode. Her body vibr
She was bit several times. On purpose. This had her wondering if she had done anything to offend these women because she couldn't even come up with a reason why they were being mean to her. She was done washing the first bowl in no time. Their leader, who sat at the other side of the room on a stool while eating from a plate nodded in approval before asking her to come over. Lillith wiped her hand on her dress and walked towards the woman with shaky legs. She hadn't eaten all morning and it took a toll on her health. She was really hungry. Hungry enough to consume this woman whole. "You're done with your portion, right?" Lillith nodded. "I wonder why you're here. Last week, you were being treated like a Queen. You must have done something to land you here. What did you do?" Lillith had no idea what she was talking about. But then she remembered that someone had stood in her place and apparently, she had been treated right till she came to take her original space.
Lillith stood there, staring at Leon in shock. Her eyes darted to the other woman and she wondered who she was. This was the woman she had seen yesterday. She was dying to know who she was. Though it was none of her business, she wondered why this woman was dining with them while she was asked to serve. No, this wasn't her sister. She had thought about the possibility before but seeing it now, it didn't seem like she was his sister. Delilah also looked really angry. She pushed back her chair and walked towards Lillith. Taking the tray from her hand, she handed it over to the maid standing behind her before turning to Leon. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" She screamed. Liliith was afraid at this point. Delilah was really angry and there was a possibility of her calling her out on her pregnancy and she didn't want that. So she drew close enough to Delilah. "Please. I think we shouldn't be doing this. I am fine with working," Delilah whipped her
So it was settled. Lucien had found his mate and Melissa's life had been saved by chance. Lucien had dropped every grudge he had against Leon and both of them became friends again. It was a beautiful sight for Lillith because she never knew there was ever going to be a time where they both decided to reconcile. As for Melissa, she was yet to forgive her. After what she had done, it had been traumatizing so they stood at the side as both men hugged and when Melissa tried to talk to Lillith, she was immediately told that she wasn't ready for her apology. They both left and things went back to normal. The war ended and people spent their time cleaning up the Palace and getting ready for the Coronation. Liliith had gone up to her room when Leon was called upon to attend to an urgent matter. She didn't want to look like she was desperate for his presence. But those words he had said to her before they were interrupted lingered. He loved her? She laughed at herse
Leon stopped in his tracks. He didn't miss the word Lucien used when he saw Melissa. He raised his hand and stopped the guards from moving before he turned to Lucien. "What did you just say?" Melissa, whose head dangled below her neck, looked up to see Lucien staring at her intently. She had never been looked at like that and this was her first time seeing this man. He was really good looking, a few inches shorter than Leon with fairer hair. He didn't have that dark aura that Leon had. She felt a zing of pleasure shoot up through her as she stared into his eyes and that was when he knew that she was mated to him. "She is my mate," Lucien replied. Leon cocked his head to the side. "And how do I believe that you are telling the truth?" "What do you mean?" Lucien asked with a frown. "Melissa has always been a cunning woman. This might be to rescue her from being executed. Nobody knows if this was planned so how do I believe you both are really mated to ea
Lillith took the small purse from Cali's hand. "Make sure you look after him, okay?" "This is like telling his mother not to leave him hanging," Cali said and folded her arms as she rolled her eyes to the back. "Hurry along, he'll be fine." She left the room and walked down the corridor, noticing that it was quite empty. She guessed it was because of the ritual. She was taken by surprise when she got to the gallery. There was a line from the door to the last step and Leon was standing there. They were all dressed in white clothing, save for Delilah who has a crimson dress on. Lillith began to take slow steps down till she finally got to the base of the steps and before she took Leon's hand in hers, a shaman stepped forward and rubbed a sticky substance on her forehead. She gave Leon a look but he was mute. He finally took her hands and the procession began. Now, they were the last to leave the door. "Is something drastic going to happen?" She asked
Lillith lay flat on the table. She was spent from being constantly rammed into and yet, she throbbed more for him. Her hand reached out towards his cock and she began to stroke softly. She maintained eye contact with him, not minding if he was finding it hard to actually sit properly. "Lillith, I am sleepy and you have drained out my soul. What do you want from me again?" "Your soul in particular. Since it is useless, why don't I make it complete?" He threw his head back and laughed. "You're becoming witty as the day goes by. Where do you learn all of these from?" She shrugged. "Instinct?" He raised a brow in askance. His eyes narrowed like he didn't believe her. "I doubt that." She sat up on one elbow and looked at him. "So what do you think then, Alpha Leon?" "That you're lying to me. That's the only tangible explanation." "And what is your definition of the truth?" "You have met other men and they have corrupted you." Lillith began to lau
Gods, she loved when he became so dominating and controlling. She loved to see that look creep into his eyes. Her hands were planted behind her on the table as she stared up at him. His fingers were still wrapped around her neck and his other was on her hip, pulling her away from the table. She placed her hands on his hip to hold herself in place as he lowered his head to kiss her. He kissed her with everything he had in him, not stopping even when she tried to catch her breath. He wanted her. All of her. He lifted her off the floor again and walked over to the other side of the clearing. It was a wall demarcating the palace from the woods behind it and her back pressed against the cold walls. "Tell me your fantasies. What have you thought of me doing to you because I have thought about it a lot." She bit her lower lip and he groaned as he groin himself against her. She arched her hips towards him and splayed her fingers behind his back. "I've thought of you fucking me
Lillith stood naked before him. He had locked the door after instructing a guard that no one was to come close to the door. He came back to where she stood naked as she waited for him and pushed the plates aside to make space for him to lay her across the table. As soon as he was done, he walked back to her and lifted her off the table. He placed her on the table so her breasts were facing the air. She turned on her side and watched as he pulled out a seat in front of her. She smiled and touched his face when he finally settled down before her. "You really are smitten, Leon. I thought you were going to turn my idea down and request that we had normal dinner." He laughed and leaned over to pick up a plate of olives. His arm brushed her thigh in the process and she sucked in a sharp breath. He finally settled down. "You call this abnormal then? This style of dinner we are having?" She laughed and shook her head. "Not at all. I think this is an unconventional way to ha
Candles. Bright lights. Lights hitting glass and metal and causing a beautiful amber beam to fill the area. A large table she hadn't seen here before was stationed in the middle of the large space and the table was covered in candle lights. A flower vase was situated in the middle of the table right beside a metal bucket. A wine bottle poked out of the bucket. She sighed and brought her hand to her chest when she saw how the table was filled with so much food. A card lay at the middle of the table. The guard smiled at her before shutting the door behind her. She took the steps down and looked around. "This is absolutely beautiful. How long did it take to set this place up?" "Just an hour and two hours of cooking." She turned to see Leon standing at the other side of the clearing. He was dressed in a robe and breeches and shirtless underneath. His hair fell in tufts on his forehead and a side sad slicked back. He held a bouquet of roses in his hand. She took
"I wanted to tell you something but I forgot entirely." Leon said as they walked slowly into the palace. They were holding hands and the guards and maids were surprised to see them both. No one believed he was ever going to soften towards Lillith. "And what's that?" Lillith asked as she swung his arm back and forth. "There will be a ritual held tomorrow before the coronation in two days," He said. They stopped at the base of the ornate steps. "You're to be by my side so we can both be cleansed before the coronation." Sometimes, Lillith couldn't believe she was actually going to be Queen soon. It had been a long ride for the whole year and things were going the way she hadn't expected it to go. "This feels like a dream," She said with a laugh. He smiled and brushed her hair behind her ear. It was something he loved to do. "Of course, it does feel like a dream. But it's your place and no one is going to take it from you. I want you to know that." She smiled a
They spent time walking around the garden and Leon showed her a few special plants that had bloomed when the curse was made. "I think this is the best day of my life," Lillith said as she brushed her fingers over red tulips as she walked across the gardens. "Are they grown by people or it just started growing?" "Still effects from the curse," Leon said as he came to stand behind her. "Wow. It looks really organized. You would think it was intricately planted by farmers," She said. She felt like she was standing in a maze of a red flower garden. She looked around her and closed her eyes as she inhaled deeply. She took in the scent of the flowers, combined into a beautiful essence that wafted into her nose. When she finally opened her eyes she caught Leon staring at her with a smile. She had always seen him stare at her like she was the most precious thing in this world but this one had been unexpected and she couldn't even look him in the eyes. A blush crept up
