Liam's P.O.V Later that evening, I couldn't help hum one of my favorite tunes as I drove back to my house, a stupid smile plastered to my face that I couldn't seem to get rid of. Lily had accepted my invitation! I wanted to shout it out to the winds, with my head out of the car window like a maniac, but I realized the health hazards, so I decided against such a foolish act. But still…I couldn't contain my happiness. At first, I was very convinced that she would reject me and my invitation, probably telling my dad about the party since she was so fond of him. But when Danika finally managed to convince Lily, and I saw her smile as she accepted the invite…I just couldn't contain my happiness! I couldn't help but think that she was already falling for me, just like I was falling for her, and I knew that it was left for me to act fast before it was too late. A beautiful woman like her wasn't going to stay single for long because I wasn't the only one who had e
Lilac's P.O.V One month flew by almost in a blink of an eye, and I never thought that I would ever say this while I was still living in this pack, but time really does fly when you're having fun. And it wasn't just Dani and me anymore, but Liam and Tawin as well who had joined the gang and with the four of us together, school started to feel less like hell than it had been before. Serena had returned to the school, after her two week suspension, and when I had been afraid that she would cause more trouble for me, she actually stayed away. She had even stopped bothering me, which I found odd, but with the final exams nearing and no other assignments due, I guess she no longer had any use for me anymore. Before we knew it, it was almost time for the party and Dani and I decided to go to the mall in town, to get new clothes to wear to the party. Correction…Dani wanted to buy new clothes to wear to Liam's party, because she wanted to impress the boys and finally get
Lilac's P.O.V "A full search, eh?" The manager licked his lips, eyes me and then Dani, from head to toe. "Why, yes…maybe a thorough search would be a good idea." Horrified, I stared at the manager as the middle aged man continued to scan, as if undressing us with his eyes. Serena stood beside him, a look of satisfaction on her face as if she had just won the lottery. Serena was making sure that we had the worst kind of attention in that store and I could see people from outside forming a small crowd as they whispered to each other as to what had just happened. I think I even heard someone in the group grunt out a 'bloody teens' as the turned away from the scene. The amount of hate I felt at that moment for Serena was something I couldn't even explain. If I was truly some kind of cursed witch, then where was my power now? Why couldn't I command these filthy men, who were looking at Dani and me like we were some kind of prostitutes, to gouge ea
Lilac's P.O.V I struggled against his grip, watching in horror as people peeked from behind the glass display of the stores to watch the scene unfold. But just as I had expected, I was no match for Alpha Krimson's strength. "Where are you taking me?" I snapped, still struggling to break free of his grip, but to no avail. I didn't appreciate being dragged like an animal across the mall, knowing full well that I didn't do anything wrong. It was so embarrassing on all levels and the curious and horrified stares of the onlookers only made matters even worse. Fine, he helped me and Dani by saving us from the clutches of that…goddamned pedophile manager! But that didn't mean he could just drag me around like he pleased! Krimson needed to learn that I wasn't some kind of toy at his disposal that he could treat however he wanted. I dug my heels into the ground, slowing us down, but Krimson simply turned around to look at me, his eyes still ablaze as if there was s
Lilac's P.O.V My eyes fluttered open to the sun filtering in through the curtains, causing me to squirm in discomfort. The warmth that enveloped me felt otherworldly, and as I turned to the other side, the cloud like soft bed dipped and shifted to accommodate my weight. Wait a minute… Soft bed? Sunlight? Was I dreaming or had I died in my sleep and reached heaven? Because the bed at the Soup House was hard and uncomfortable, even though I had found comfort in sleeping on it rather than the cold, hard floor. And there was absolutely no sunlight in that murky room of mine. Then where on earth was I exactly? My eyes snapped open as I tried to process what had just happened, before sitting up on the giant king sized bed. "Wow! It's so beautiful," I murmured, letting out a soft breath. Looking around the room, I saw the burgundy walls, and the white curtains, the patterns delicate and gorgeous. The chandelier on top of the bed was made o
Krimson's P.O.V I stared at the closed door, a growl escaping my lips without my conscious effort. I hadn't meant to…but I hadn't been able to keep the harshness out of my voice after. But at the same time, I couldn't help it. Lilac was an errant child who only acted like the docile little mouse with everyone else but with me. The pack may know her as the helpless charity case that never stood up for herself…but they never knew her like I did. They never saw the defiance, the fire in her eyes that made her different from everyone else. But it was also this very defiance that made me want to rip my hairs out and growl in anger. The sound of plates being placed on the glass table brought my attention back to the present and I turned to face a worried looking Melody, who was looking at the closed doors to the house with concern in her eyes. "Did the child leave already?" She asked me, her brows furrowed in confusion. "Krimson! Why didn't
Lilac's P.O.V Finally, after finishing up my very last test in high school, I handed over my final exam papers to the supervising teacher and I walked out of the examination hall with my head held high and a bittersweet pang in my chest. As much as I was happy to get away from this hellhole, I couldn't quiet explain this weird feeling of nostalgia that weighed heavily on my chest as I thought about how today was going to be the last day I was going to be walking down these familiar hallways, or even saying goodbye to these familiar faces. Despite the fact that I had more enemies than friends, I still couldn't help the pang in my heart as I remembered Dani and her sweet smile as she came bounding down the hallways; or Liam and Tawin as they would crack random jokes at the most random things that we may not have noticed before, but it would make us go rolling on the floor in laughter. There were several bad memories attached to this place…but I couldn't help remin
Lilac's P.O.V I put on the black dress that Beta Luca had gotten me yesterday, before him and Alpha Krimson left town to take care of business in another pack. The top clung to my body, defining my shape while the skirt flared out, swirling around my knees as I twirled once in front of the murky mirror that didn't seem to get clean even after the thousand times I had wiped it down. But nothing could spoil my mood today as I patted my hands through the skirt, feeling the soft fabric slip through my fingers like liquid silk. To say that this was a gorgeous dress would be an understatement…and Beta Luca had given it to me, after several protests, as a present for finishing high school. Liam might think that he was being sneaky enough by holding the party in his house while his parents were away…but the truth was, Beta Luca knew exactly what was going to happen under his nose and he actually didn't seem to care. In fact, I think he wanted Liam and they rest of
