As I threw her to the ground, she began to shiver in fright. “I am so sorry, Alpha Derek. I did not mean to do anything with him. I swear to god I tried to dodge. I tried to avoid his kiss. I swear to you it will never happen again,” she said to me as she immediately went on her knees and started to move backwards as I slowly walked towards her. “What do you mean by you don't know what you were doing? And he forced you. I saw you. Do you want me to let you know everything? I was standing there for hours. I watched you. I saw that you held on to him. You didn't want to let go. You felt so assured with him. You were confiding in him. You made me a total fool,” I said to her, and she shook her head sideways. “No, like I said to you, I did not make you a total fool. Please do not forsake me. Please I beg you,” she said again. “I am not forsaking yo
Darius’s POVThis was it. This was the final blow. I had never felt this annoyed with my brother before in my life. I have never gotten this angry with him. He had the guts to punch me. I rushed hurriedly into my room. And as I entered, I harshly slammed the door and went directly for the flower vase that was close by as I threw it to the floor, making it shatter into loud pieces.I angrily groaned as I sat on the ground, scattering my hair, unable to think of a possible reason why I would let my brother try to overshadow me this way. I could remember everything he said. It kept ringing in my head. I could remember the insults and the fact that he said I had no use in this palace and everything belongs to him. I had no power over him. It annoyed me. It pissed me off so badly. As I tried my best, I gripped both my hands together, trying my best to hold in my anger, but I could not. I angrily yelled out, “Alpha Derek,” I shouted. He had gotten me so pissed, and there I was watching Li
Alpha Derek’s POVAs I laid on my bed already close to midnight, I couldn't help but turn back and forth. I could not sleep. It seemed like I was restless thinking about Lily. It seems like this time around, it would be quite hard to make her love me again. I sat on the bed and slapped my cheek, unable to believe I had told her those words. How could I have been so dumb to tell her that I was slowly falling in love with her? I was so foolish for that. I stepped down from my bed and wore my coat. I should go check on her. I walked out of the palace, out of my chamber only to see that everywhere was silent and just a few guards were on patrol. I nodded at them as they bowed at me walking directly to Lily's chamber. I soon got there and silently opened the door. I did not bother to knock because it would get the attention of the other maids who are very vigilant and the guards nearby would wonder why I've come to Lily's room twice just today.I opened the door widely and looked around
Lily’s POVAfter listening to Alpha Derek and the fact that he wanted me to become someone special to him, I still could not believe it. It felt like I was imagining things and it would never happen. Come to think of it, why would he want me? Of all people, he called me useless. He made me a slave. I got used to it and now he wants to change everything. I sat alone in the garden just behind the palace kitchen thinking about everything.I felt so confused and frustrated. I didn't even know what I wanted anymore but I knew that I wanted nothing but freedom. I just wanted to be free. I don't even want to be made to anybody anymore because it felt like nothing but trouble. It gave me troubles and troubles continuously, and now I am so fed up with it.I stretched one more time preparing to go inside because I know it is very late and the guard will soon be active and vigilant for anyone who is going to come and I might get punished if I sit outside for too long. Just as I was about to st
Darius’s POVI was going to get over all this. Right? I would later learn to let go of everything. Right? I thought to myself. I wasn't even able to think about it to the end when my mom walked in. She knocked after she had walked in with a smile on her face. "I'm so sorry. Am I obstructing something? You seem to be thinking a lot these days. Hope there is no problem," she asked. I sat up and hissed in annoyance. She knows why I'm acting this way. She was the one who kept me in the dark despite the fact that she calls me her son, yet she could not warn me that I was stepping into a trap. "Do not look at me with those eyes. I warned you. I told you it was a trap. I told you that you should not take Lily with you, but all that mattered to you back then was Lily. You could not stop singing Lily. Every little thing, Lily would be mentioned. And guess what? I hope you're having so much fun with Lily who does not belong to you," she said to me. I felt even more angry. "What exactly do yo
Ethan’s POVIt has been over a month now, and yet I cannot stop thinking of Lily. I thought everything was already over now. I thought I had made the right decision. Why is she still stuck in my mind? I sat up on my bed as I still thought about her. She was the only thing in my mind, which confused me. I felt so angry and so pissed that Alpha Derek was able to take her from me. I was so foolish I muttered to myself.As I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window to see the guards still patrolling. It was very early in the morning, and I have not been able to sleep all day long till this morning.If only I was rising up, then I would have not left her for her own. What if she gets to love him and they both love each other? I don't want that to happen. Not yet. It is just so disturbing the fact that I left her there with him.I paced around the room thinking of how I could possibly check on her. I can't just walk back to his park and say I want to check on Lily. It'll be craz
Lily’s POV"Was this a dream?" I thought to myself as I rubbed my eyes to be sure I was seeing very clearly even though I had misheard some words from. He smiled at me and stepped back. "I know you would not believe it. I know you think it is a lie, and I am just making up words just to keep you with me, but I don't mind you leaving me. I don't mind whatever you want as a final decision. I just want you to know that I really love you, not any fake love but sincerely I love you and that is why I want to keep you as mine for as long as possible. I don't want you to be distracted by Darius. He means nothing and you would not gain anything worthy from him," he said to me but I was not going to just fall for him that way. He could act nice today and suddenly change the next morning.I don't want to be in a situation like that and who said Darius is not nice? He's a very kindhearted person and he's so innocent in all of these yet you disgraced him and blamed him in that banquet like he had
Alpha Derek’s POVAfter saying those words to my brother, I realized I had just told everyone that Lily was really my mate. Despite how I treated her, what do people think of me? I just made a huge mistake out of annoyance. It was not my fault anyway. It was all Darius's fault. He had a way of just making me talk. “He wanted me. He kept forcing me to talk. He was just so stupid to know that she belongs to me and he wants to take her away from me. I would never allow that to happen.” Darius seemed so shocked. He stepped back and for the first time, he did not look at Lily. I noticed that he could never take his eyes off Lily. His gaze was always on her but now for the first time, he looked away, he looked at our mom and then back at me. “Lily is your mate. Lily is your mate. And you expected me to know that?” he said, looking stunned. It seemed like everyone was so happy because I could notice that everyone was just watching, looking, wanting to know more. Some were even making videos
Darius’s POVWe were soon in front of the grand gates and I could see that Lily was still very nervous. I turned to her and assured her with a smile. “Do not worry. Nobody's going to choke you inside there. I am the one who invited you, I am the one who wants you here so nobody has the audacity to go against my wishes,” I assured her. Just then the door opened wide as all attention was on me or should I say on us because they were all so shocked to see Lily. Lily seemed to be walking very carefully like she did not want to miss her step and disgrace herself but something about the atmosphere was just so different. The way everyone stared at us, the way everyone interacted with us, I could feel it. I could tell that something was not right but I did not want to say anything and just kept silent. We soon walked to our seats as I realized that Alpha Derek had only arranged for them to place two seats, mine and his. I thought he was already aware that I was coming with an escort. Lily l
Author’s povStanding beside the throne was Tobias. As he watched the Princess of the Pack walk in with all her glory and grace, he couldn't help but smile as she waved at him. She always did that whenever she was summoned into the meeting room to join in with the meeting. She would always wave at Tobias like they were so close. But before Tobias could wave back at her, the Alpha also stepped in as everyone bowed to him while the Princess hummed a song, going to her seat as she sat down. Something about her always intrigued Tobias. Even though he had promised himself that he wouldn't be too friendly with her. Even though she was a very innocent soul who always tried her best to get into a conversation with him, he always found one reason or another to push her away. As he stared at Lily, biting on her pain, feeling a bit frustrated and lost in thought, he couldn't help but remember that he was solely sworn to protect the family of the Alpha from one generation to another. Not just him...
