Lilac's P.O.V Hope… It shouldn't even exist in my vocabulary. 'This is why strays shouldn't be picked up from the streets in the first place.' Krimson's words still rang out loud and clear in my mind, even though he hadn't said it loud enough for everyone to hear. But that didn't make a difference. It was clear enough for me. He could've said 'I hate your guts' in a thousand other languages and it wouldn't have hurt this much…not as much as those words had. Alpha Krimson knew exactly how to cross all boundaries. Knew exactly where to shoot so it hurt the most. I backed away from the crowd as Alpha Killian and Alpha Elijah followed Krimson out of the room, followed by Beta Luca. Now that the drama was done, people seemed to go back to their usual chatter, not caring that my world was just being ripped apart. I couldn't give voices to the screams inside my head; to the tumultuous racket inside my heart…the sound of it breaking into a millio
Krimson's P.O.V 'Send her to me so she can apologize! I don't understand how you can let such insolent people stay in your pack!' 'Aren't you showing too much interest in a server? We're hosting this party for business related purposes.' 'If you really want that land, Alpha Krimson, then have that insolent maid apologize. I do not believe in making deals with packs that don't respect me.' 'Go in, get on your hands and knees and apologize to Alpha Elijah!' The entire conversation with Elijah and Lilac played over and over in my head as I sat in my living room, unable to let it slide. It's true that I needed to get that piece of land from Elijah at any cost, because it would cement my control over all of Kansas, making me the only Alpha in the entire state, but I had never seen Elijah be this eager to get an apology from a servant. From what I'd heard…it was possible that Killian was his lover, and both of them were only in their mid-twenties, so they
Lilac's P.O.V "Let go of me." I moved onto the other side of the bed, trying to dodge Alpha Elijah as he moved to cage me against the wall. "No…" I had been wrong about him before. He may not look like it, but he was strong as an Alpha, strong enough to overpower me within seconds. I hadn't even had time to understand what was happening before he had pulled me inside his room and started to kiss my neck. No matter how hard I had tried to push him away, it hadn't seemed to be working. He was stronger, much stronger than I had expected. "Let go of me! Please…" I begged, just as he caught a hold of my ankle and hauled me under him across the bed. "You think you can reject me and get away?" Alpha Elijah scoffed. "Krimson is getting a huge deal from me. Getting to have you in return is just a little price to pay, don't you think?" I shook my head vigorously, refusing to believe that Krimson would stoop so
Krimson's P.O.V "Alpha Krimson?" Elijah tried to give me a nervous smile, but I caught a hold of his neck and held him above the ground, my claws slicing out to dig into the tender flesh of his neck. "Don't even try to find excuses." I spat at him before using all my strength to throw him across the room. He fell onto the coffee table and I had the satisfaction of watching the glass shatter as he went down on top of it, embedding the shards onto his back. His cry for help did little to appease the rage within me. The sight of blood on the floor did little to comfort the beast that wanted to rip into his chest until I was hold his beating heart in my hands…watching his eyes widen in horror as I ripped the organ out of his chest cavity. "You'll be locked up in the cellar," I told him through gritted teeth. "And you will be held in trial at the Supernatural Council. I'll ask every single person in your pack if I have to, but I wil
Lilac's P.O.V "You're being awfully quiet." Dani took a seat beside me at the cafeteria. "Are you sure you're ok?" I looked up at her through my lashes from where I had my head down on the table. All I could do was give her a small nod before closing my eyes once again, ignoring the chatter all around me. Everyone knew about me spilling drinks onto Alpha Elijah…no one knew what happened after. How my world had tipped off its axis and everything had just came crashing down around me… I don't know who gave them the orders or told them to keep shut, but even Kaleb and Hoji have been awfully quiet and have been avoiding me since this morning. "Lily?" Dani placed her hand on my shoulders comfortingly, but I just didn't have the strength to shrug her off. I loved Dani, I really did. She was my biggest support inside the pack, my best friend…but at this moment, all I wanted was to be left alone. I had had a tiring day…a tiring
Lilac's P.O.V Panting, gasping and exhausted, I plopped down onto an empty patch of grass devoid of flyaway plastic cups and other debris, trying my best to catch my breath after having the best time of my life. "Never. Again." Dani said from beside me, covering her mouth with her hands like she was about to throw up. "Eww! Don't throw up here! Go to the washroom." I told her half-heartedly. But at that moment, my heart was too full, too contented. And I couldn't believe it was because of riding the rollercoaster for the first time! "Ugh!" Dani groaned, placing her hand in front of her mouth. "I think I'm gonna…" She was up and running for the nearest bin to empty her guts of all the cotton candy and corn dogs she's had since arriving at the fair this afternoon. I don't know if it was out of concern or if Liam asked him to, but Tawin went after Dani to make sure she was alright, just as Liam plopped down
Krimson's P.O.V My hands tightened on the steering wheel as I saw Liam and Lilac coming out of the fair ground together hand in hand as they walked back to Liam's car with Tawin in the lead. I was acting on impulse, like a fool. Why did come all the way here? Why did I decide to follow the GPS in Liam's car once I found out that he had cut classes with Lilac? Why was I still here now that I had ascertained that she was doing alright? It didn't make any sense. Nothing that I had been doing for the past month has been making any sense to me. Both Elijah and Luca seem to have been right. Whenever it came to Lilac, my judgment was always cloudy. There was always a war raging on between my mind and my heart. Between my wolf and the part of me that was still human. I thought there was no humanity left in me. After everything that I had been though because of Dawn Wood…but the more I stayed near Lilac, the more it's becoming to stay away. Yes, w
Lilac's P.O.V I stared up at the wooden ceiling of my tiny room, watching the cobwebs accumulate and dust get stuck to the web. I was supposed to keep my room clean, but with my graduation just round the corner…I just couldn't find it in me to give a flying fuck about this place anymore. The night was chilly even though it was supposed to be mid-summer, but I couldn't find it in me to get to sleep. I felt too restless…too uneasy. Sitting up in bed, l looked around the room with a sigh. It was a tiny place with a tiny bed, a closet and a book shelf. Just enough so I could have some privacy. I had an even tinier bathroom attached to the room but there was hardly any space there to even turn around. Still, at least I didn't have to share a bathroom with the other staff in the building. It not like I was close to anyone here in the first place. Four years and still, I had absolutely no bonds with the other pack members that would allow me to mind link the othe
