After laughing and eating with everyone, Lillith felt full. She had never had so much fun in one night. From tasting the cake to eating special dishes made by Gina and Geneva to the laughs. Seeing Lucien relate with people he called his servants warmed her heart so much. It was so wholesome to see everyone happy. She had never felt this way in her whole life and she made sure she reveled in it. After dinner, Everyone went to take a seat outside. Lillith was too tired to join them and she was also nursing a lower back pain which meant her birth was due. The doctor had predicted till a few weeks later but she believed it would be sooner than that. "Let's go sit outside, by your balcony," Lucien said as he helped her out of the chair. "You look really tired and I can feel the heat coming off you," "Too much food, I guess," She said and laughed. "It's harder with this big baby inside of me. He always makes me like a cow," "For him to be healthy, you have to eat
The doctor was immediately called for and Lillith went into full labor. Her screams filled the whole house as she tried to push the baby out. Moments later, a midwife joined in. She helped Lillith by assuring her with words and motivating her to push the baby out. But Lillith was already tired as this had been going on for over two hours. She was in so much pain. So much pain she couldn't comprehend. Lucien joined afterwards and held her by the hand as she pushed hard. She squeezed his hand to the point of nearly breaking his fingers but he stood strong. He knew she needed his support and he was going to give her that. While she labored, the maids waited in anticipation. It was filled with slight fear and panic as they had no idea what was going to happen from here on. As for Gina and Geneva, they had to boil lots of hot water to be used later and Regan went ahead to finally finish the nursery room they had been taking so much time to furnish. Lillith gave her f
Today made it the seventh month since Lillith's second disappearance. Not that Leon was taking notes or anything. But he sensed it from his insides. He wasn't really interested in having anything to eat at the breakfast table. All he did was push his food around with his spoon and watch Melissa speak with Delilah. He was sure that none of them remembered. Heck, why would they? They weren't the one that treated her like a piece of trash and made her leave. It was all his fault so he was ridden with the guilt of it. Lucien hadn't spoken to him or reached out to him for several months so he decided to pay him a visit yesterday. Things are different now. Lucien already forgave him but he knew there was nothing he could do to change how things were between them. It was sad that he had to lose his best friend to a situation he could have easily controlled. Pushing his seat back, he excused himself, much to everyone's surprise. He hadn't touched a thing in his food and Mel
Leon was confused as to why she told him to leave in that manner. Had he done something to upset her? As he stepped down the temple's porch, he kept looking back to see if she had changed her mind and came to stand behind him. Or had she seen something terrible? He would have to ask her later because he couldn't quite understand why she had been that way to him. Delilah remained in the temple. She was eerily still and the shaman who had come to check on her stood by the side, afraid that she might do something to her. Delilah had seen a little baby in Lillith's arm. It had been a long time since she saw the woman in her trances. Seeing a baby meant she already delivered but there was something really strange about it. She could pinpoint what it was. She didn't want Leon around her because there was a likelihood of her telling him that she had been pregnant through out the time she was here. He would hate her for it. Definitely. Once she was done, she stood t
Lilith was still recovering but that didn't stop Lucien from throwing a party. As usual, it was held at her new home with just them both and the servants. They didn't care for other people. They already understood that she was hiding from someone who hated her and only wanted bad for her. They had no idea who it was and it was safer that way. Lillith had just finished breastfeeding her baby. She took him to his nursery and laid him in his cot before shutting the door gently behind her and leaving with a smile on her face. Ever since Henry came into her life, she was filled with so much joy. One she couldn't contain. He brought peace and hope to her and being with him was all she had ever asked for and everyday before going to bed and after waking up in the mornings, she swore to protect him at all cost. She met Lucien in the hallway. He had two glasses of wine in his hand. Stretching out his hand, be handed it over to her. "Have you forgotten that I a

Something told Leon to go back to White Plateau Pack. Actually, he had sent a few of his spies. They had snuck in on the day he had visited Lucien to beg for his forgiveness. Though he wanted their friendship to be restored, he still felt something fishy about this whole thing. He believed Leon was hiding something from him but he dared not question him as that would tear them apart the more. So he asked two of his most trusted guards to sneak carefully into the pack and look around. He was to return a few days later back to the boundary of the pack to know if they had seen anything. Well, he was going today. Earlier than usual. That didn't matter. Since Delilah had given him a go ahead, who was he not to go? He knew she had seen something. Though she refused to tell him what, she knew it had to do with Lillith. He had gone with about fifty of his strongest warriors; Calvary and infantry and they were all ready to attack. He had asked them to sneak in withou
Lillith sat in the same spot for an hour. She was deep in thought. She kept staring at her little baby and thinking of the possibility of trying to escape once again. She didn't need Lucien to tell her. She knew Leon was here for her. She thought he was going to stop after sometime? She had been fine for seven months! Seven good months! Why the hell was he here for her again? She sighed and leaned her back against her chair. Her baby was fast asleep and in no time, he was going to be awake and wanting to be fed by her. She turned to see Regan coming into the room. She offered her a small smile and shut the door gently. "You've been here for a long time. It's time for lunch. I'm sure Henry wouldn't want to wake up to nothing," Lillith's lips trembled. "I am not hungry, Regan. I am content without eating anything," Regan sighted. "Why are you so worried about him? Lucien is out there. He's going to protect you. Trust me. Once he cares about someone, he neve
