Lilliana’s POVBreakfast ended and relief washed through my being as I stood from the chair to leave. I would give anything to disappear from here right now but Nikolai had already stood from his chair and was standing behind me.Getting ready to race out of the dinning hall, I felt a pull on my hand and turned to see Nikolai holding me. His grip was gentle and his eyes soft as he stared at me.“Where are you running off to?” He asked, his voice low and conveying his care for me really well. Turning, I lowered my head as I had no answer to his question.I really just wanted to leave and never see his face again for the rest of today.His grip was firm but his gaze was thawing at my heart and I searched my mind for tons of things to say but nothing seemed to make any sense and closing my mouth back, I just stole a glance at him.Goddess! He is fucking hot!The very way he stood there caused my heart to clench in a good way and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach as his lips twit
Lilliana’s POV“Why?” I yelled at the maid that was standing in front of me, it was obvious that she was the one who’d intentionally tripped me. Nala growled and was basically ready to fight for me.I could’ve easily let her out but that was the least of our problems at this point, “Why would you do this when I’m carrying the Alpha’s special plate?” I added, my voice shaky and breaking as I crawled to pick the pieces.Nikolai loves this plate, it was a gift from his mother to him and from the story the previous Alpha King had told me, Nikolai loves and cherishes his mother.He’d kill me if he found out I broke these plates.Tears welled up in my eyes and it was only a matter of time before the gates opened and the tears started flowing freely. There was nothing I could do that’ll return the plates back to the shape they were before.Why does my life have to be like this? Why do I have to keep going through all of this?It wasn’t until I felt the sting of my tears in my face did I real
Lilliana’s POVWincing, I sat on the bed as I waited for the doctor to get to me. My heart raced as I couldn’t stop thinking about how I was going to handle everything that had happened.My knees and chin hurt so bad but none of the pain could ever be compared to the kind of pain I was going to feel by the time Nikolai was done with me.‘Don’t you think you should just go to him and come out clean about all of this?’ Nala’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts but all I could do was groan and close my eyes tightly as though that was going to erase everything.It’s just dishes and cutleries, why am I getting so worked up?Sighing, I knew why I was getting worked up and it’s not as if I’m fooling anyone. I hated the fact that I haven’t been able to live normally like all other werewolves ever since Nikolai came back.I hated the fact that Alpha King Demitri had to fall sick and die, leaving me to deal with the rude, cruel, selfish and horrible son of his that’s only nice to me whenever he
Nikolai’s POVFeeling a jolt of anger, rage churned inside of me and my fist clenched tightly as I carefully watched what was going on in front of me. My eyes never left Lilliana’s as she froze over.The sight of me must’ve scared her to death because her skin immediately went pale and she was physically shivering while Jenna kept on with the insults, oblivious to the fact that I was behind her.Fury almost choked me as I walked slowly in her direction, it was uneasy for me to watch Lilliana get scolded by Jenna. Lilliana shook and her mouth opened, probably in an attempt to warn Jenna but my eyes on her like talons must’ve caused her to change her mind.“If a word of this gets out, I am going to make your already miserable life even more miserable and no one would be able to do anything about it.” Jenna seethed with rage as she shoved Lilliana aside.She finally turned and it was as though she’d completely forgotten to breathe or even speak. Her entire energy dried up at the sight of
Nikolai’s POVMy fist clenched as Jenna’s footsteps receded and soon, I was left alone with Lilliana. Everywhere was silent as she tried to look away and it didn’t take long for me to realize that she was tense.She avoided my gaze and bit her lower lip that already had a slit on it. My blood boiled and anger rushed through my veins as I examined the wounds on her body closely.Given what I had just witnessed between her and Jenna, I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that she was the cause of all the bruises on Lilliana’s body.Anger settled within me and I seethed as I moved closer to Lilliana, it felt as though the punishment I just gave Jenna wasn’t enough. I felt like I should’ve done something more dangerous.I should’ve asked the guards to take her away and bruise her back with lashes because looking at Lilliana now, that seemed like what Jenna deserved.Cupping her face, I moved it to the side and I let out a sigh. It doesn’t seem like a very deep wound but it still angered m
Nikolai’s POVClosing my eyes in frustration, I clenched my fist as questions ran through my mind. It’s very obvious right now how much control Lilliana has over me and I’m beginning to detest it.Just when I was about to try and stop thinking about her, just when I was about to force myself to forget everything about her that could mess with my sanity, she had to come here.What the fuck does she want with me? Why the hell does she keep showing up right after I’ve pushed her away.WHY IS THE MOON GODDESS DOING THIS TO ME?!My body shook and my fingers ran through my hair. I tried to regulate my breathing as I sat up to fix my gaze on the door. My palm itched to answer it but I knew deep down that it would be my undoing.Clearing my throat, “Go away.” I said sternly, it was fake and anyone would hear from the way I said it that I was trying my best to keep up with the façade.I waited a while for her to say something but nothing came. My eyes didn’t leave the door as I thought to myse
Nikolai’s POVI could see the desire clearly in her eyes and for a moment I wondered who wants who the most. My Lycan growled again as my eyes went from her eyes down to her lips.It was pink, luscious and called out to me, her words wouldn’t stop ringing in my head and that was all I needed. Unable to hold back, my lips trapped hers in a passionate kiss.Our breathing paced and what started off to be slow and passionate soon became fast and hungry. Neither of us could control our urges. I kissed her with an unquenchable urge that had her slamming back against the wall as she wrapped her hands around my neck, kissing me right back.Her lips were delicious and it felt as though it was perfectly made for me. My fingers explored her body and ripped all the clothing she had on until she was standing naked before me.The smell of her arousal filled the air, my dick kicked in excitement as I moved my lips from hers and to her neck, giving it a small bite before returning to nibble on her ea
Lilliana’s POVMy eyes fluttered open and the first thing I saw was Nikolai’s facial features. I still felt sore from the sex we had yesterday but everything was perfect and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.I could feel the butterflies flapping their wings in my stomach and my heart raced, it was no doubt that it was beating for Nikolai.Helping myself up as I supported my body with my elbow, I couldn’t help but admire his sleeping beauty. He looked like he didn't have any worries.His dark hair was so messy and yet it fell across his face perfectly and my hand itched to move it away. Now that I’m looking at him carefully, he looks innocent and harmless.He doesn’t look like that Alpha that everyone is scared of, he looked more like a child and I couldn’t help but wish I could see more of him. More of this particular Nikolai.His naked body sent jolts of desire running down my spine, his lips were perfectly carved, his broad chest beckoning to me. Perfect seemed like an unders
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
