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
Lilac's P.O.V Dani and I had hardly turned the corner from the sidewalk that led to the path to Liam's house, but we could already feel the beat of the music reverberating through the whole neighborhood, the ground beneath us seemed to buzz with the aftermath. "Wow, this is a whole lot." I sighed in exasperation as I saw the cars lining up both sides of the street, not leaving a lot of space for normal traffic. Good thing that Liam's family was at the end of the road and from the looks of it, most houses around this area seemed empty. Probably because Liam was throwing a party and everyone had decided to run while they still had time. "Of course it is darling, Tawin and Liam told us, remember?" Dani chuckled. "It's the biggest party this year!" "I know, but…didn't he say that there would only be kids from our year group?" I pointed to the people who were only on the outside of the house. "Does this look like only a senior year part
Lilac's P.O.V Dani and I both paused at the sound of that voice and as we turned, I saw Liam standing behind me with a devilish grin on his face. "Liam…" I breathed out, suddenly feeling everything else fall away as I stared into his mischievous green eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with the first few buttons unbuttoned, showing off his tanned skin, enough to tease the girls who had been drooling all over him. He even had a gold chain on and his hair was all messy yet silky enough that I wanted to run my fingers through them. "Here you go ladies," Tawin interrupted the moment and a red plastic cup was help in front of me and Dani. "Drinks are on the house." "Of course they're on the house, silly." Dani took the cup with a giggle. "It's your party." "Thanks." I accepted the glass and after taking only a sip of the liquid, I could already feel the burn right down to my stomach. "Woah!&
Lilac's P.O.V Confusion swirled in my mind as I looked at the closed door and what had just happened… Tawin…had spiked our drinks? But why? What would he get out of this? I didn't even understand what locking me and Liam in this room would even accomplish? After all, we were wolves…we could knock down the door at any moment. But after using nearly all of my effort to get up from the floor and getting into a sitting position…I realized that I had mistaken the effects of alcohol on a werewolf body as well. I was barely sober…and Liam didn't look any better than me in any aspect… The least I could hope for was that Tawin would keep his promise and keep Dani safe by getting her home safely… "What is happeningssss." Liam slurred, rolling over on the floor so he could look up at me. "W-why…why…Tawin?" "Our drinks…were spikeddd…" I slurred out as well, barely making it to the door as I crawled on my hands and knees like a snake. &q
