The Coronation was drawing near and there was yet to be an attack from White Plateau Pack. This had Leon worried as he had no idea what was taking his time. "What if he's planning to attack on the day of coronation?" Lucian asked Leon as he paced about in his study. "He's capable of doing such, you know? He knows that day is very important to you. He's your best friend so he knows how to get you," Leon nodded. Lucian was right. "Yes, I know that. That's what makes me really worried," "What do you suggest we do?" Lucian asked as soon as Leon stopped pacing. "Strengthen the walls again on that day?" "I need warriors around the boundaries. It needs to be protected on the night of coronation incase his men tries to attack," Nodding, Lucian turned away from Leon and left the room. As soon as he left, Delilah came in. He was glad to see her after two days of being in the temple for the preparations. "What's going on?" She asked as she took a seat before Leon.
"Leon." He stopped on his way out of her room and turned to Lillith. Delilah was gone so it was just them both in the room. "Need anything?" "Why are you suddenly nice to me?" He didn't see that question coming. It hit him so fast. "Uhm, what's that supposed to mean," "You know what I am talking about, Leon," She said as she drew close to him. "Do I even have to spell it out to you," "No, you don't," He replied and looked down at her, his eyes darting to her lips. "You don't have to spell it out to me," "I guess I shouldn't have asked you. I'm glad I get to be treated like a human being and I am happy that you are showing my son some love." "He's my son, too." Leon corrected but his voice was soft. "Do you even want to know why I left? You don't care enough to ask?" She scoffed to herself. Well, have you ever cared? He heaved a sigh. "What's going to change after I know why you left?" She shook her head. "Nothing at all. I guess I shou
And he did kiss her. He kissed her with everything he had in him without even throwing his weight on her. She hated that he had to make her this vulnerable. Hated that she was putty under his arms. He moaned and she felt her defenses fall flat. Whatever she had been holding onto shattered, leaving her helpless and open to him. He kissed her jaw, trailed his lips down her neck and kissed her sensitivity spot. She tilted her head to the side to give him full access. He caught the soft skin of her neck between his lips, kissing and drawing his teeth over her neck. She knew he was going to give her hickeys and that didn't matter. Melissa was going to see it and she was going to lose it when she saw that the man that had gotten married to her was touching her instead. She wanted to laugh but Leon nipped her lower neck and she cried out. "Leon..." She sighed and splayed her fingers over the nape of his neck before slipping her fingers into his hair. He kissed her collarbone an
Lillith fell asleep right after a mind blowing orgasm. She hadn't experienced that in months and she felt like she was going to explode from pleasure but Leon was there to guide her through. She finally woke up with a yawn, stretch and a smile for days. She was really happy. She had probably turned from Leon's arm so she rolled back to his position and felt the bed for him. Her eyes fluttered open immediately and she saw an empty bed. Sighing in resignation, she sat up and brought the duvet to her chest. He had probably left as soon as she fell asleep. She didn't know if she was disappointed but she would have loved it if he had stayed back with her. Well, there was nothing she could do about it. She climbed out of the bed and her eyes caught a shirt on the edge of his bed. It was a white shirt and when she lifted it to look at it, she realized how large it was. A small smile covered her face when she realized that he must have kept it there for her to use
The Warriors holding the boundaries from being besieged were starting to get weaker as Lucien kept reinforcing his army. "They're going to break through in no time,"Leon said. His voice was laced with worry. "We can't let them," Lucien turned to him. They were standing on top of the hill that could overlook everything that was happening. "But the Sentinels are in place incase of such an occurrence. So there's nothing to worry about," The sentinels were a division of the werewolf Warriors or hunters. They were put in place around the Kingdom to protect the lower ranked Werewolves from attack as not all of them had the strength to fight off warriors who were higher in rank. "They are well hidden in the shadows, are they?" Leon asked. Lucien turned to give him a look of disbelief. "Are you sure I am standing with Leon? Heck, you have conquered Packs! Why are you so nervous?" A feral growl was heard in the distance and Leon's eyes narrowed on a white wolf be
After Cali had explained it all to Lillith, the nursing mother began to see her in another light. "You lied to me, Cali," Lillith said. She wasn't so offended but she gave her maid/guard a stern look. "By omission, yes. I know that. That doesn't change the fact that you lied to me. I thought we were friends?" Cali swallowed. "We are getting there, Luna. But trust me, I have to obey every one of Alpha Leon's words. That's why I was employed. I hope you get that," Lillith couldn't be mad. Cali was right. She was being obedient to her Alpha but that still made her really angry. Sighing, she nodded. "I do get it. But promise me that this would be the last time we keep things from each other," Cali smiled. "I don't think that's something I can really keep to myself, you know. It'll be really hard for me," Lillith rolled her eyes and nodded. "Right." Henry was awake and still playing with the toy Cali got him. "He's definitely in love with you. He has refused to
Lillith was asleep when he came into the room but Cali had woken up as soon as she heard the click. She was a good one for Lillith's protection and always at alert while asleep. She left the room as soon as he came in with a nod, shutting the door behind her. Henry was asleep also. Leon walked to his cot and watched the sleeping boy. He saw the striking resemblance they had and his lips curled into a smile. He was renewed with a new hope. New strength. He wasn't going o relent till Lucien was defeated. This was his son and his heir and not even his best friend would take Henry nor Lillith from him. He kissed the top of his head before going over to where Lillith slept. She had taken off her robe and her full breasts peaked out of her dress, pushing the light fabric and showing a bit of her skin. He wanted to bend low and kiss it but he felt that would be inappropriate as she was asleep. That would be taking advantage of her. Then she stirred towards him and turne
That morning, the guards had declared the palace safe enough for anyone to have breakfast at the dining room. While Lillith would have loved to dine in her room, away from the eyes of Leon's wife air Delilah, she had been urged to join them by Cali. "You know, staying here and having breakfast instead of joining at the dining room would make you look like you're nervous or scared of her," Lillith laughed. "I am not nervous. She just makes me feel uneasy," "And that's because Leon is married to her. Anyone would feel uneasy if their husband was married to someone else," But that was not the case. There was something else about this woman that made her feel uneasy and it wasn't only because Leon was married to her. Well, she shrugged it off. It wasn't something she had to bother herself over. But the uneasiness still remained in her stomach. "Well, she is not to be blamed," Lillith shrugged as she slipped her feet into her flats. "I was the one who left. Twice."
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
