Lilac's P.O.V As we approached, I couldn't help but notice the whispered comments and sly smiles exchanged among our companions. Suddenly, I heard a wolf-whistle and my head snapped in that direction as I saw Niana grinning from ear to ear. "Oh! Such a good looking couple you two make!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together in excitement. I felt my cheeks grow hot as I listened to the murmurs of agreement from around the table. However, when I looked at Del, I saw him grin in response, basking in the attention. Like the gentleman he was, he pulled the chair out for me and helped me take my seat before he took the seat right next to me. Niana looked at me with wide eyes, before leaning close to mutter in my ears. "You chose such a catch, Lilac! I heard he's already famous among the freshmen! He's so handsome!" "It's not like that," I tried to explain to her. "I met him outside the washroom and he…helped me fix m
Lilac's P.O.V "You insolent fool!" The sound of the slap reverberated through the hallways as I watched my mother fall to the ground in pain, her cheeks red and blood gushing out of the corner of her mouth. I stood behind the pillar, my tiny form hidden behind the structure as I clutched my teddy to my chest, fear holding me in its icy grip as I saw my mother struggling to get back up from the floor. Behind my father, stood another woman, a blonde woman who was clutching the bedsheets to her chest and hiding behind my father. She had a wicked grin on her face…and was looking down at my mother in disgust as she crawled on her hands and knees. "Please…Keith…" My mother grabbed onto my father's legs with both hands, tears streaming down her face as she looked up at my father. "Don't do this…please…you're my mate! We have a child…" "You gave me a bloody daughter!" He spat at her in disgust. "What am I supposed
Lilac's P.O.V "And is it just as magnificent as they say it is? The library?" Dani sighed dreamily. "I've been watching all the pictures you sent me over and over again…they're just so…perfect…!" I laughed as she let out another dreamy sigh. I knew just how much she wanted to come to California with me once she learned I got accepted in UCSD, but unfortunately, she had applied too late and her letter didn't get accepted. We're hoping she came come next year though, because honestly…I hadn't anticipated just how much I would be missing her as soon as I reached the campus. "How's school going?" I asked her instead. "Any hot hunks you like?" "Ugh! None!" She sounded pissed. "I'd thought I'd feel something, but all I have here are the same assholes from school! And on top of that, we have no-mate Serena here as well whose new mate-detector happens to be her vagina, spread 24/7 and available to all to hottest wol
Lilac's P.O.V "Are you sure this is the right address?" I asked the cab driver one last time before he left us in the middle of the road, giving both me and Nina exasperated looks. "That's what you provided me with, Miss!" He snapped. "Maybe next time, ask the person who gave you that address in the first place?" I watched the car drive away in confusion, looking around at the woods that surrounded us on all sides. "This can't be it…can it?" I asked Nina in despair. "We're in the middle of nowhere!" "Actually…I think we are in the right place." Nina squinted her eyes as she looked at the woods behind us. "I think I can hear people talking in that direction." "Really?" Turning in the direction that Niana was pointing at, I strained my ears to listen to any noises, when the soft hum of hushed conversation floated into my ears as well. "You're right! Let's head in that direct
Lilac's P.O.V "Lilac," Silver looked at me worriedly, probably noting the perplexed expression on my face, "Are you okay? You seem a bit overwhelmed." I looked up at her, my gaze searching for answers as my mind tried to comprehend what I was hearing. "Silver, I don't understand. Why were they all bowing to me? And what is a Silver Alpha Breeder?" Silver looked taken aback. "How could you not know, Lilac?" The significance of the moment hung heavy in the air as I tried to grapple with reality. "Lilac, when they bow to you, it's because you're the Silver Alpha Breeder. You hold a position of great importance in our community." Silver explained to me, but my confusion only seemed to deepen as I looked at her with a mix of curiosity and disbelief. "But why me? I never asked for this. I don't even know what it means." Silver must have noticed that I was on the verge of panicking, so she took my hand and pulled me aside, away from the group at t
Lilac's P.O.V My heart raced as I felt a firm grip on my arm, yanking me out of harm's way just in the nick of time as a car rushed by me with incredible speed. The sudden movement left me bewildered, my eyes widening in surprise. I stumbled back, only to find myself face-to-face with Del, a mixture of shock and gratitude etched across my features. "Del?" I stammered, still processing the fact that he had just saved me from the oncoming vehicle. "How... What are you doing here?" He met my gaze with a calm yet concerned expression, as if he had been expecting this moment. "I've been following you, Lilac," he admitted, his voice steady. "Ever since you left the Circle meeting in such a rush. You seemed disoriented, and I didn't want anything to happen to you." I blinked, the pieces slowly coming together. The memory of leaving the meeting in a hurry flashed in my mind, feeling like a distant memory even though it had happened only a few moments ago. But sinc
Lilac's P.O.V The landscape around me shifted. I found myself within the boundaries of the pack, navigating the perimeters with a sense of urgency. The night air was thick with tension, and shadows danced as I darted from one hiding spot to another. The distant sounds of footsteps and hushed voices warned of approaching soldiers, patrolling the area with a diligence that sent shivers down my spine. I felt the adrenaline coursing through my veins as I moved stealthily, every step calculated to avoid detection. The moon cast fleeting glimpses of shadows on the ground, and it helped me navigate the terrains with efficiency. My emotions seemed amplified, and my heart raced with a mixture of fear and exhilaration. From one covering to another, I moved through the shadows, until I could see the beginning of the woods in my vision. And then, I was crashing through the woods, the road ahead of me clear of soldiers, making my journey a lot easier. The night embraced the
Lilac's P.O.V My first day at school was a whirlwind of excitement and nerves. The hallways echoed with the chatter of students, lockers slammed shut, and the scent of fresh textbooks filled the air. As I walked into the classroom, I couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety. However, my worries quickly dissipated as the lessons unfolded. It turned out that academics came naturally to me. I found myself effortlessly navigating the academic landscape. Teachers praised my diligence, and classmates looked to me for help. It was a pleasant surprise to discover that I was thriving academically in this new environment. During group projects and activities, I began to make new friends. For the first time, I felt welcomed me with open arms. We shared laughter, exchanged ideas, and gradually formed bonds that extended beyond the classroom. These connections added a layer of warmth to my school experience. Lunch hours became a highlight as we gathered in th
