Lily's POV As we walked away from the garden, I was gladdened at the turn of events. I needed to speak to him and he only made it easier. But as we walked, neither of us said anything. We endured an awkward silence in our journey from the garden back into the house and straight to Marcus's room. As we entered, he closed and locked the room to avoid any intrusion or distraction. “I,’’ Both of us said at the same time in a bid to break the silence. Marcus cleared his throat and took a seat, while I stood opposite him. “You can have a seat and say what you have to say.” He said with an unreadable expression. He speaks as though he has nothing to say too. I ignored his offer for a seat and stood close to the door where he left me. “Hmm. I know that I have no choice but to serve you as your slave and fulfill your desires,” I paused because of the mischievous grin that appeared on his face, but it disappeared almost immediately. So I continued, “And by revelation, I, umm, I.. I kno
Marcus's POV I had not intended for things to go this far, as I only wanted to have a taste of her for the last time before letting her go and also leaving her with a taste of me to keep her in remembrance of me.But as she began responding to me with the same intense energy, desire, and need, I lost all sense of decorum.I rocked my groin against her to ensure she was ready enough for me when I needed her to. Her whimpering only boosted my confidence in what was pleasuring her.I squeezed her tiny breasts firmly and she called my name. At that moment, I lost sense of anything and took her to the bed.The sight of her pleasured and her neck bare stirred my wolf up. But I fought hard against it and controlled it.I threw up her skirt and positioned myself on top of her. She kept pulling at me and squirming under my touch.I wanted to tease her more and make the process more pleasurable, so I stood up and took her up with me, causing her to be on top of me instead.Using my hands, I ru
Lily's POVBending over the wash sink in my bathroom, I gagged my mouth with water and stood upright.“What the hell just happened?” I asked my reflection in the mirror.One moment I was squirming under Marcus's touch and the next, I was on top of him and trying to pull down the zipper of his trousers, and the other moment, I felt the indescribable urge to throw up on Marcus's face.Immediately I was hit with the urge, and I fled without looking back. And when I arrived at my room, I hurried to the bathroom and threw up and when I tried to leave, another wave hit me and I threw up all over again.And that led to my being here in the bathroom at the moment. I remembered I had yet to lock my door, so I walked out of the bathroom and went to lock it.“What could be wrong with me?” I mumbled to myself.I wondered if I had caught the flu as a result of all that had occurred the past few days. That could be the only reasonable explanation for the nausea I was experiencing.I quickly went in
Lily’s POV I retraced my steps and found a corner to hide and hear them speak.“I do not like Amelia, but I prefer her class for Master Marcus.”“That is true. Her strength, power, influence, and authority coupled with her cold and aggressive demeanor, suits Master Marcus’s personality the most.”“I am most happy that now, Lily, or whatever her name is called will be put right where she belongs.”Where do I belong? I was not a slave. I was my father’s daughter and pride. It was to defend my dignity and sanity, that my pack was massacred. How dare they say words they know nothing of?“She has been acting too proud, getting served by us, getting her room cleaned by us, always putting on an act to get Master Marcus's attention, but now all her efforts would be in vain.”The servants kept talking till I heard Clara’s voice, sounding like the voice of an angel among an assembly of demons. I peeped out of my hiding place. “What do you think you are doing?” Clara asked as she approached t
Lily’s POV “I fear you might be with a child, Lily,” Clara announced. I stared at her in disbelief. Did she know what the hell she was saying? I scoffed. “Stop joking around Clara,” I replied. I suddenly felt cold, so I rubbed my shoulders. “I wish I was Lily. For your sake, I wish I was.” Lily said, looking at me pitifully. My mind began to swirl with so many thoughts. I tried to recall when was the last time, and I realized it was indeed three weeks before we got attacked and I was captured. That same night, Marcus had forced himself on me. I should have seen Aunt Flo two weeks later. But I have been in Mistwood Creek for almost a month. “I still do not believe it.” I sniffed in a tear that was about to drop. “Lily, I know this may be hard to take in, but you need to make terms with it. ” For the first time, I felt Clara was only making noise or talking senselessly at that moment. Did she understand what that meant? That I would be stuck here forever with Marcus?
Lily’s POV“What did you say?” I asked after a few minutes of not being able to react or say anything.“I'm sorry Lily. You are with two children in your womb.” Grayson replied.I felt numb for a few more minutes, I could not say anything or do anything about it. This was real, I was with a child.No, I was with children.“Please, let no one find out about this,” I said, looking back at Grayson's sullen face and at Clara's tear-stricken face.“I promise I won't tell anyone,” Clara replied through tears.I turned back to Grayson and he nodded in the affirmative. I stood up and made for the door. I staggered and almost fell back, but Grayson held me.“Stay strong child, rest a little and get some strength.” He said as he held me up.“I have to see Marcus,” I mumbled.“But you just said not to tell anyone!” Clara yelled.“Hush now Clara, she might want to inform the father.” Grayson rebuked her.“No,” I shook my head and held their hands. “I don't want to tell him,” I said weakly.“Then
Marcus’s POV Arriving at my chambers from the council hall, I found Leila sitting casually on my bed.My eyes darkened. “Leave us,” I said to Winston who was trailing behind me.“Yes, Master Marcus.” He replied and scurried away.“What are you doing here?” I asked, eyeing her menacingly.“Can I not also visit my husband to be in his chambers?” She asked back.“Stop answering my question with another question!” I barked. “Why did you come here?” I asked her again.She rolled her eyes. “Well, since we are engaged to be married now, and I do not care how long that will take, but now that we are, I would like us to clarify some issues.” She replied.This lady was getting on my nerves with each passing second. Her aura smelt like filthy evil and she possessed and displayed such evil.“What clarification are you talking about?” I asked feigning ignorance at where she was headed. They all had one target which was Crimson Valley and their target had a key.Lily. “We need to discuss the issu
Marcus's POV I arrived in my chambers in one piece, but my mood had turned sour. Did Lily just reject me? On what basis did she reject me? Why would she even do that?I got angry and overturned the mini table in my room. Was she trying to stay away from me? She was my slave and there was nothing she could do about it.I growled slowly and immediately went out the window for a run. I did not want to be around people. I needed to calm my nerves.I ran till I found a tree in the Forest, within the borders of Mistwood Creek. I climbed the tree and rested there till morning.At the break of day, my eyes opened slowly and I realized I was still on the tree but there was someone else there. “What are you doing here?” I asked the old lady.“I see you have been rejected by your mate, Master Marcus, but that should not deter you or make you give up.” She replied.I scoffed. “I am yet to know who the hell you are?” I asked angrily.My sleeve was long and it was bright, so how was she able to
