Lilliana’s POVUnable to control my body, I felt myself melting as I got lost in his eyes with different lustful thoughts racing through my mind.I still couldn’t believe that I was reacting to him like this, I shouldn’t be so putty in his hands not after everything he has put me through but it was hard.It was hard to not get weak knees just by staring at him, it was hard to not feel my panties getting wet just by the way his arms wrapped around me, holding me tightly and pulling me into him.My body felt so hot and the heat I felt in my cheeks intensified, it must have amused Nikolai because I didn’t miss the small smirk that played across his lips.His muscular arm slowly trailed a path down my back and I felt my pulse quickening. I wanted to pull away.I wanted to fight the feeling but it was a game that I was losing. His lips were firm and sensual and they called out to me.“L— Let me…. Go…” I stuttered, my walls breaking as the seconds ticked by and I wanted to look away from hi
Nikolai’s POV“Oh my— it’s midnight!” Lilliana shrieked when she picked up her phone. I had no idea how much time had passed until she just said it.Things were going smoothly and honestly, at this point, I didn’t care if it was midnight or past midnight as long as I was with her.It really didn’t feel like midnight, it was almost like any other night except that I was spending this night with Lilliana and it was perfect.I was talking to her, making her smile and hearing the sound of her laughter that seemed to make me go out of my mind.Picking up my phone, my eyes widened when I saw that it was five minutes past 3AM and I couldn’t help but wonder how time flew by.It was just evening the last time I checked the time, how is it past midnight now?All of the time I spent away from her had made me forget how much it felt like time used to pass when I was with her and a reminder of that feeling made me feel like the most stupid man on earth for letting it all go, for hurting her the wa
Lilliana’s POVI was taken aback, I never thought that I would ever see Nikolai break down in front of me. Tears welled up in my eyes but I was too determined to hold them back.My body shook and my knees went weak as I sat slowly on the bed with Nikolai still kneeling in front of me.“I know, I don’t deserve any more chances, I’ve messed up too much but please, Lilliana.” He begged, reaching out to hold my hand but I pulled it away.I was scared, scared that I’d be forced to forgive and give him the last chance he’s asking for if I let him touch me.I’ve never really been able to control myself whenever Nikolai was involved and seeing him like this was doing things to me.It was as though I was in a haze, like he was a mirage and none of this was real. It was as though Nikolai wasn’t here and I was making things up in my head.I knew I wasn’t making anything up when I felt his hand and something wet on my feet. Gasping, I looked down to see Nikolai holding onto my feet really tightly
Nikolai’s POVUnable to sleep, I tossed and turned uncomfortably on the couch. I’d left the room last night because Lilliana had asked me to.Usually, I’d be on a mat sleeping right next to the bed but since she made it clear to me that she didn’t want to see me, I had to respect that.My heart raced, it was another day and my eyes had been opened most of the night because her words kept ringing in my head.‘I don’t know if I have any more chances to give.’ I played her words back in my head and I groaned.It was killing me, not having her in my life was killing me but I had no other choice. I caused her so much pain, I should be able to take the pain that would come from her possible rejection.My eyes closed as the clock ticked, it was morning already but it was still dark. Realizing that I wouldn’t be able to sleep no matter what, I left the huge living room in the private wing and made my way to the only bedroom there.Carefully, I opened the door to check on her like I usually do
Nikolai’s POVMy teeth gritted as I examined the room and when the guard told me that everyone was gathered in the safety room already, I rushed there in a bid to find Lilliana.“Where is Lilliana?!” I roared, not caring about anybody else when I looked around and she wasn’t anywhere in the room.“She’s safe, Alpha,” one of the guards responded to my question and I turned with my blood boiling as I raised an eyebrow.“She’s still in the private wing and no one can get there. We tried to get her out but she insisted she was fine.” He explained.I let out a sigh of relief before ordering all of them to remain in the safety room until everything had died down.Five hours had passed and despite the fact that everything had died down, everyone was still a bit destabilized.I’d gone to check on Lilliana and she was sleeping peacefully with her stomach down which made me smile.I needed to work, I needed to do something about these terrorists because I knew that their attack wouldn’t stop at
Nikolai’s POVTired from the drama of the night, Andre had left me to myself so I decided to retire back to the bedroom to check up on Liliana.“How is she?” I asked the guards when I got to the door and they assured me that she was fine with no reason to be worried about her.Nodding, I made my way inside the bedroom to see that she was still very much awake and her eyes glinted when she saw me, almost like she was glad that I’m fine.“I thought you were asleep,” I said, my voice low and resigned as I sat next to her, “why are you still up so late?” I enquired.“I’m going to ask you one more time and I want you to give me nothing but the damn truth,” She retorted, her eyes fiery and her pupils dilating with anger.“What is going on?” She asked and I smiled, hoping that she wouldn’t go all foxy on me if I told her one more time that it was nothing she should worry about.“It’s just…”“I’m not a child, Nikolai, I know that something is wrong, I can hear the commotion from over here but
Lilliana’s POVGroaning, I wanted to turn but the force holding me back made it impossible, my eyes fluttered open and the memories started flooding me.I felt a little sore and it was surprising considering the fact that Nikolai was unbelievably gentle last night.A small smile tugged at the side of my lips as I snuggled closer into him. It felt as though time had stopped as I took in his scent.The satisfaction, waves of ecstasy, everything washed through me as I felt more relaxed than I’ve felt in months. I wanted this moment to last forever.I wanted him to keep holding me like this and I wanted it to be just us against the world. My smile grew wider as the thoughts kept rushing through my mind.“Good Morning,” Nikolai’s gruff voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I just smiled as he held me closer, rubbing my belly and kissing my hair.“How was your night?” He asked, turning me over so that I was going to be facing him. His face early in the morning had always been the highlight
Nikolai’s POV“Whether you like it or not, you’re going to the doctor.” I said to a very pouty Lilliana. I knew she needed to see the doctor because it’s been a while.Despite the fact that I was absent in her life, I always made sure to get the next doctor’s appointment and since I didn’t get the luxury of forcing her to go like I’m doing now, I made sure to entrust it to Andre.We didn’t talk but he always made sure that she never missed an appointment but she’s been missing her appointments for a while now since we got here.“I don’t have to go, I’m perfectly healthy and the baby is fine too. I don’t think I have to go.” She protested.“You’ve been through a lot these past days, Lily, it only makes sense for you to go and see the doctor.” I insisted.She hissed, ignoring me but also silently agreeing to see the doctor because this back and forth could go on for a while.She’s been through a lot and I haven’t lived up to the expectations of a father and partner but now, I have to.I
Nikolai’s POV“NIKOLAI!” Lilliana’s loud and alarmed voice reached me in the bathroom where I’d gone to take the ointment for her back.I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that she’d already probably seen the mark on her back. Hurried, my feet padded back to the bedroom and I walked in to Lilliana freaking out.Her towel had dropped to the ground and she had an obvious look of terror on her face. Tears already welled up in her eyes as she stared at me.“W— What’s going on? How did these marks get there? What’s happening?” She asked, freaking out and thrown into a world of confusion.“Calm down, it’s nothing serious, I promise I’ll get to the bottom of things and we’ll get something done about the claw marks.”“Do you even hear what you’re saying?” She screamed and I could’ve sworn that my eardrums bursted with that loud sound.“They are claw marks on my back and you’re asking me to calm down,” she screeched, “how did they get there? What’s happening? Do you know something?” She bomb
Lilliana’s POVGroaning, my eyes fluttered open and I stretched out to feel Nikolai beside me. His eyes were closed and his sleeping features were hotter than ever.Everything seemed peaceful and as the memories of what happened last night flooded my mind, I felt myself melting.We’d left the dinner hall and had a really good time before falling asleep. A smile formed on my lips and I moved Nikolai’s hair away from his face.“When you stare at me like that, it makes me want to eat you for breakfast.” Nikolai’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts as he pulled me into him.“Maybe I won’t stop staring at you like that then.” I threatened and I felt his cock kick against me.“Well, Good Morning.” I smiled, grinding against his cock and feeling it grow even harder and an inch longer.“Stop doing that, you still look exhausted.” Nikolai warned but stopping was the last thing I wanted to do.I’ve been feeling unusually horny these days and right now I wanted him to fuck me but he seemed too w
Lilliana’s POV“I’m sorry,” I muttered an apology to Kieran with no idea why when he’d just told me that he hoped Nikolai would treat me right.I don’t know why this man seems to think that he has to have a say on my relationship and I hate the fact that whenever he says things like this, he says it with so much confidence.It’s almost like he’ll be waiting in a corner for when Nikolai messes up so that he could tell me that he did warn and tell me so.“Also, Nikolai has always been treating me right, I don’t doubt the fact that he’s going to do so tonight too.” I smiled and Kieran nodded.“Right, I’m sorry about that, I just say things without thinking.” He apologized, smiling as he walked me to the entrance of the hall.“You should go now.” He finished and with a nod, I walked closer to the entrance before turning to look at him but he only urged me on.If anyone had told me that Kieran could be this nice and this much of a gentleman, I would’ve argued because he has always been a j
Lilliana’s POVI was still stuck behind the big oak tree with Kieran, the night was silent, peaceful but there was nothing peaceful with being either Kieran.I’d just seen him walk into the dinner hall clinging onto Jenna and I know I shouldn’t care but I couldn’t help the multiple questions that kept running through my mind.Are they dating now or their date was supposed to end as soon as the dinner was over?Sighing, I pinched the bridge of my nose and couldn’t believe that I was stuck with Kieran of all people, my heart raced and I felt uncomfortable.“What were you doing in the bush all alone?” His voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I shuddered, “you could’ve really gotten yourself killed, Lilliana, what were you thinking?” He added.Turning my head to look in his direction, I felt the hairs at the nape of my neck curling as the cold breeze grazed my ear like the touch of cold fingers.The last thing I wanted was to get myself engaged in a conversation with Kieran, even though
Lilliana’s POVWalking as fast as my legs could carry me, I could feel my heart racing and I knew really well that it was because of Jenna.She was the last person I was expecting to see and I can’t just stand being in the same space as her.I felt bad for judging too soon too because a part of me felt like Nikolai didn’t really know that she was going to show up to the dinner.The sound of my phone ringing jolted me out of my thoughts but I continued walking since I already knew who was calling. It was Nikolai and he had called multiple times already but I’d decided to ignore the calls.I wasn’t mad at him or anything because I knew there was an explanation for everything and in Nikolai’s case, he didn’t know she was coming but I also can’t bring myself to go back there until I’m calm.Finding a place to sit, I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. I didn’t want to wander too far off because Nikolai might try looking for me.The fact that everything looks familiar calmed me do
Nikolai’s POVThe night was going smoothly and having Lilliana in my arms felt like having heaven within my reach and when she hugged me.Goodness, when she hugged me, it felt as though time had stopped and it felt so good. I was so afraid of moving that I couldn’t even breathe.She felt so warm and her body felt really soft pushed up against me, I wanted to keep holding her without ever letting her go.My heart pounded and I could hear the gushing sound of my own blood as it rushed through my veins, spreading to every part of my being.Closing my eyes, I took in a whiff of her delicious scent and I wanted nothing to take away this moment.The urge to keep her close to me was insane, I didn’t want to let go of her, I wanted to maintain that proximity, to keep loving her and overall, to protect her. I felt her muscles tensed and I could feel that something was wrong as she pulled away from me.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” I asked but she looked so lost that she probably didn’t hear w
Lilliana’s POV“You look really gorgeous,” one of the maids complimented my hair and I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my lips.“I bet Alpha Nikolai would not be able to keep his hands off you.” Another added and I could definitely see what they meant by that.Taking a look at myself in the mirror, I could barely recognize myself. It’s been a while since I looked this beautiful and I felt tears welling up in my eyes.My hair was made perfectly with all sorts of adornment even though I’d said that I didn’t want anything extra.My dress is an extremely beautiful strapless lilac gown and as I stood up, I wondered if my stomach was going to be a problem but it wasn’t.These past days, Nikolai and I barely spent enough time with each other and just when I was starting to feel frustrated, he thought of a way to turn things around.He had insisted that everyone take a break and the day off so instead of the meeting, everyone just went out for food and drinks.He made sure to set every
Lilliana’s POVI’d slowly walked into the room with everything that Kieran had told me playing back in my head over and over again and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop the thoughts.I hated the fact that I was letting what he thinks have so much effect on me like that but there was nothing I could really do about it as I curled up on the bed like a wet cat.“I’m back,” Nikolai announced cheerily and that would’ve changed my mood if I hadn’t met Kieran and listened to him say all those things.“Welcome back.” I managed to let out before curling even harder as I tried my best to ignore Nikolai.From the way his breath brushed the nape of my neck and how he pulled me into him, I could tell that he was on the bed with me already.“What’s wrong?” He questioned, his voice bridling with his worry as he turned me over to face him, “you’re not in a good mood.” He added.Shaking my head, I let out a forced smile as I tried to assure Nikolai that I was fine but I’ve never been a good
Lilliana’s POVIt was as though my legs were moving faster than the rest of my body. I was running as fast as I could but the more I ran, the more it felt like I couldn’t escape.My heart was in my throat and I felt my stomach knotting in fear as I went deeper and deeper into the woods.My head felt light and my eyes kept going in and out of my head but I knew that I dared not wait.I dared not stop to catch my breath because if I stopped then whatever I was running away from, whoever I was trying to avoid was eventually going to catch up with me.The eerie sounds became louder and my legs were starting to feel weak, slowing down and making it difficult for me to run any faster.“I can’t stop. I can’t stop.” I kept repeating to myself like it was some sort of mantra but my legs were giving up on me and that was when I remembered.Although it was dark and seemed like no matter how loud I screamed, no one was going to come to my rescue. I could see that I was alone but despite seeing th
