Lily’s POVAs I entered my room after confronting Darius, I couldn't help but pace back and forth. I felt like I had suddenly become a bad person for saying something like that to Darius, for calling him wicked, calling him all those things. I suddenly felt like my conscience was judging me and I had done the wrong thing. The first time I had done the wrong thing. I could see in Darius's eyes that he felt sorry for everything he did. But I just cannot support him and not support Alpha. Even though Darius did this because of me, I can't help but still support Alphaa because Darius has already turned bad. It was so vicious in his eyes. I could see it very clearly. He was not the person I was in love with, the person who made me happy, the person who I thought cared for me more than anyone. I felt so worried. But most importantly, I wanted to see Maya. I needed to know if clearly Darius was still bad and if he was still plotting against Alpha Derek or if that was happening out of his an
Lily’s POVThe next morning, I woke up very early and immediately called for Maya, letting her know I was ready to go there. She showed me the way, and I did not waste any time; I hurried up and drove one of the Talas cars. I went straight to where she instructed. And funny enough, the place gave off a weird vibe. It was like a little village that was totally empty, which confused me a bit. Where did everyone in this village go? I felt a bit scared, but I did not stop myself from still going. Driving into the village, I got to the end of the village only to see a woman sitting alone. She seemed a little blind, but immediately realized that she was not alone. She laughed and stood up from her seat as she walked towards me. "I knew you would come, Lily. I just did not think you would come so quickly. I could sense you were up so early," she said to me, which frightened me. I waved my hand in front of her eyes, and she caught my hand. "I am not as blind as you think. Yes, I cannot se
Alpha Derek’s POVAs I sat all alone in my room, I couldn't help but be anxious as I patiently waited for my Beta. I had sent him on a few days' haste to find out what exactly is going on with Alpha Ethan. Ever since that banquet, I couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. Alpha Ethan was not acting normal, and I was definitely going to find it out. And if I wanted to do that, I had to keep it a secret. Even Lily had no idea about what was going on after that. I also wanted him to come up with a perfect plan to get rid of Darius because I just realized that Darius does not want what is good for me. He just wants to ruin me more and more, and I will not let him get away with that. As I sat on my bed waiting for him patiently, I heard a knock on my door and almost immediately told him to come in. He entered very quickly and closed the door, making sure to lock it as he rushed towards me with a file in his hand. "I have heard something I never expected, and I don't know how yo
Darius’s POVOf course, I know that running into my room and trying to think of the next plan is not going to work for me because honestly, I don't have any plan B. I have nothing. Absolutely nothing. And without my mom and Alpha Ethan, there's nothing I can actually do. So instead, I went directly to my mom's room without wasting any time. I knocked on the door and she opened it almost immediately. She seemed all dressed and looked at me in shock. I guess this was the first time I was walking into her room myself ever since we had our little fight because I refused to do what she wanted after she called me foolish and everything. I smiled at her as she looked at me with a frown and then paced, waiting for me to enter inside her room. No matter how angry she is, she would always listen to me, especially now that she knows that I need her more than anything in this world. She looked at me for a while and shook her head sideways. I still did not say anything; I just followed her in.
Maya’s POVI stood beside the door, eavesdropping on everything Luna Nora, and Alpha Darius were talking about. I was in total shock. Darius had gotten to the very edge, and I knew that he was going to start pouring all his punishment on everybody as quickly as possible. I didn't even think Lily would be able to last as long as I predicted. She might not even reach that extent. From the way I was seeing everything, it was just going to get worse and worse. I covered my mouth because it felt like I was about to scream in utter shock. So I made sure to stay hidden so that even if a maid or any guard passed, they would not easily notice me. And luckily for me, her door was inside in a way that it still had boulders blocking it so that anybody who passed would not easily notice someone was actually standing there. That was just one thing I was gaining from as I stood there listening to everything. After I had heard everything and was about to leave, I suddenly heard her telling Darius to
Maya’s POVI decided that even though I had already gotten to realize Darius's actual plan, I would still try my best to divert it and make him quit his plan. So I thought of the perfect words to use, and it finally came to me."Why do you want to kidnap her when you know that she still shares a very strong mate-bond with Alpha Derek? Her inner wolf can easily connect to him and tell him exactly where she is or where she thinks she is, or he could actually even sniff her out. It might take a while, but he would definitely find her. That's just the thing about meatballs that you know nothing about," I said to him as he laughed and began to knock his hand on the wheel like he was being frustrated and thinking of a way out. He turned to me swiftly and smacked at me before looking away."Who said I did not prepare for this? I have already prepared for all this in advance. I knew that something like this might cause a problem and he would be able to find out, but I am going to stop it, an
Author's POV“Are you sure that you are ready to do this?” Catherine asked Tobias, and Tobias looked in that direction.“Yes, I’m very ready to do this, and I’m sure of what I’m doing right now,” he replied.Catherine looked in Cassie's direction and saw her putting on headphones. She turned back to Tobias and said, “You don’t have to worry about her. I know that very soon she’s going to come around, and she’s going to like you just like she liked you before.”Tobias responded, “I don’t really care about her. It doesn’t really matter if she comes around. I like Lily. As long as I have Lily there waiting for me, I am fine. I am okay with Lily alone. I don’t really care if she comes around and likes me again. Sincerely, I don’t want her to like me because I already like Lily, and I would like only Lily as my mate.”Meanwhile, Cassie was not really listening to her headphones. She thought to herself, ‘I don’t really have to say anything or act like I heard what they are saying. I have a
Author's POV“Why the hell are you? Why the hell do you care about me now? I thought you were acting indifferent before. I thought you didn’t like me and you didn’t want me to be your mate. Why now? Why do you have to claim me now?” Tobias shouted at Cassie, frustration evident in his tone.Cassie immediately interrupted him. “I did not leave you! It was because we weren’t in our pack back then. Now that we are back here, in the palace, I have to claim you now, and I can’t leave you for Lily. You can never be with Lily Blackthorn,” she insisted.Tobias, visibly angry, looked at her with annoyance. “You don’t have to claim me. I can never love you. I can only love Lily and Lily alone. Lily is the one I love, not you. Even if you try to claim me, I am not going to fall in love with you,” he muttered angrily.Cassie was equally annoyed. She stood up in frustration and declared, “Whatever you do, Tobias, you will never leave me alone. I am your true mate, and there is nothing you can do a
Author's POVOn the verge of giving his judgment on Derek's case, the elders immediately stopped Tobias and said, “You can't judge his case. You have to be crowned as the king first before you judge the case.” And Tobias immediately agreed with them and said, “Okay, I'll judge this case after my coronation.”“So have you picked the dates for the coronation?” he asked the council members, but they replied, “We can't coronate you without you having a Luna yet. We don't want you to be a cause of trouble like them,” the council members said to Tobias. Tobias immediately stood up and walked straight to Lily. He held her hand and said, “She will be my Luna.” The council members looked at each other in surprise and said, “How far? She can't be your mate.”Tobias was shocked and asked, “Why? Why can't she be my mate?” Cassie stood up immediately and said, “Because you have a mate already. I'm your first mate, and as long as I'm alive and I'm not dead, Lily can't be your mate. I am your first
Author's POVSitting on the throne was Tobias, as his face displayed a mix of emotions. The elder members were discussing how to crown Tobias as the new king of the pack. But Tobias said to them, “You don't necessarily have to crown me as the king. Derek can also be the king, and besides he has been the one there since all these years. I don't really know about the affairs of being a king in a pack.” He said to the elders but the elders did not agree to what he said. “No. Derek has been acting crazy these past few months. He has been acting mad on the throne. The power given to him has been misused. He has not been serving the people well,” the elder member said. “We were even planning to dethrone him not quite long before you showed up, Tobias,” they added. Tobias looked at them in shock and was surprised that the council members were planning to dethrone Derek. It was shocking as to why they would do that. They explained that he was acting paranoid and crazy. Derek was shocked tha
Author's POVOut of happiness, Cassie hugged him tighter than before. And before she knew it, Tobias pushed her away. But Lily did not see Tobias pushing her away. Cassie was shocked as to why Tobias would push her away. But she composed herself. She didn't want others to notice that she was pushed away by Tobias. Lily started walking. “I’m going to Tobias. I want to go to him like I missed. I have missed him. Now to go and hug him very tight and never let go,” she said to Alpha Derek. But Alpha Derek was shocked and said, “How could you, Lily? I thought we saved our relationship already. Do you want to betray me? Do you want to betray me with Tobias just like you did with Darius? Isn’t it enough? I thought you said our relationship was important. I thought you loved me now. I thought you promised me that you would love only me and nobody else.” He said to Lily, but Lily was not buying any of it. “No, Alpha Derek, I was sold to you. You forced me to love you. You forced me to be in
Author's POV“You are welcome, Tobias. We've been expecting you. Okay, I'll be back shortly. I need to sort some things out inside.” Alpha Derek stormed inside the house angrily and went into his room immediately. He took his phone and dialed Alpha Ethan's number right away. He dialed Alpha Ethan's number, and he picked up the call after two rings.“Alpha Ethan!” “What? How dare you? You told me Tobias was dead. You told me you punished him to a place of no return. You told me that there was no way he's going to survive there? Where you punished him to. How come he's alive? How come he's standing before me? You confirmed he was dead to me. You…. You confirmed that there is no way he's going to come back to life. You said there was no way he's going to come out of that place alive. How come he's alive? Standing ill and healthy right here in front of me? What did you do? You said he was not going to come back alive. Now how come he's alive and healthy? He did not just come back alive.
Author's POVAlpha Derek was sitting on his throne inside the throne room and he was very perplexed. He was wondering, ‘Who could these people be? Who could this wealthy billionaire be that came into my park without me knowing? How could they come into this park without my knowledge?’” He wondered. He immediately called his Beta and said, “Get me Lily right now. I want her by my side when I'm receiving these visitors,” he said to them. He said to his Beta, but he told him, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Alpha, but Lily is not. Lily is not around right now. She's not in the palace.” He said to him, and Alpha Derek stood up in anger. “What? What do you mean Lily is not in the palace? Where could she have gone? Why didn't she tell me where she was going?” Alpha Derek shouted in anger, but his Beta told him that he didn’t know where Lily went, but she was not in the palace right now. Alpha Derek started pacing up and down inside his throne room and he was wondering, ‘Where could Lily be?’ He
