Nikolai’s POVLilliana was breathless as she stared at me with her face flushed, she was still gasping for air and I knew that it’d be cruel of me to fuck her again. As much as I wanted to punish her, I also wanted to lay beside her and just plant kisses all over her face and body.Smiling to myself, I pushed the thought to the back of my head and made up my mind that it was going to be more fun if I fucked her face and rendered her even more breathless.“P…. Please…” she let out in a whisper but was also loud enough for me to hear as I laid beside her before kissing her neck, the way her blood rushed through her veins was making it irresistible to me and it was taking all that I had in me to not mark her.I wanted to dig my teeth in her neck and make her mine but there was no need for that when she’s mine already. Moving away from her body, I kissed her face before focusing my attention on her lips.It was so delicious and luscious that I didn’t want to stop kissing her, my hand expl
Lilliana’s POVIt’s been five days and I’m still unable to get everything Nikolai said to me out of my head. It kept ringing in my mind and it felt like something I was supposed to act on but even if I wanted to, there’s no way I’d be able to.Five days ago, Nikolai was all over me. He was very sweet and his actions never changed throughout the entire day. The fact that he didn’t get mad at me for doing absolutely nothing was surprising and for a moment I thought that everything had changed.I thought that he was finally bringing himself to accept his feelings for me just because of that one confession, it wasn’t just a confession to me, it was everything.Everything I needed to know that Nikolai loved me, an assurance that there were feelings for me growing inside of him, feelings so strong that even he couldn’t ignore.I couldn’t get any work done because of him, he was all over me and we spent the entire day in my room, in each other’s arms. It was so perfect, so beautiful that it
Lilliana’s POV“Help!” I kept screaming, kicking my legs in the air as the force pulled me off my tracks. I knew that fighting would be useless and whoever was behind me must have known that no one was coming to help me because he let me scream.Fear overpowered me, the thought of being hurt or worse, abducted and harassed clouded my thought and I was going to initiate a mind-link with the only person I could think of but I stopped when I saw who it was.“Beta Andre?” I called, my eyes widening when I saw him. He was breathing heavily, just like me as he held his chest and tried to calm his racing heart.I couldn’t believe I was screaming like a baby when the person that had touched me was Andre. I was going to dismiss it when another question came to my mind.Why was he chasing after me and why did he grab me like that?“You scared me, I thought I was getting abducted.” I let out after my racing heart had managed to calm and I sighed but he only coughed and remained silent for a whil
Lilliana’s POVThe first few months of Alpha Dimitri’s death passed and Nikolai didn’t stop being the cold asshole that he is. Everyone had almost gotten tired of having him around as he wore all of them out.I knew that there was no way that I or anyone else for that matter would be escaping his sharp claws of torture. He gave out orders coldly and would even send some, including me, on difficult errands.“What the fuck is this?!” Nikolai yelled just when I was about to make my way to the door. I winced, my body ached and my eyes felt heavy since I haven’t been sleeping well lately.I turned to see the tea that I’d serve him spilled everywhere and I couldn’t help but let out a frustrated muffled groan as I managed to open my mouth with cold chills running through my veins.I still haven’t forgotten my confrontation with him and being with him since that day just managed to be more uncomfortable. His patience seemed to be growing thinner by the day and it looked like it was only a mat
Lilliana’s POVFollow him? Why does he always act as though he has the entire world at the heel of his feet?His tone was condescending and his eyes sized me up and down before he turned to lead the way, leaving me to follow behind him.My stomach churned in anger and there were a lot of things roaming around my head that I desperately wanted to say but having no other choice, I fell in line behind him and followed silently.My eyes trailed down his back and I couldn’t help but be completely smitten by the way he walked. His powerful well muscled body moved with an easy grace.His presence was so compelling, walking and even though his back was to me, I still found him perfectly handsome. Memories of the last night we spent together flashed through my mind and I wanted to do it again.I wanted to claw at his back and scream his name while he fucked me without caring if I could take the entirety of his cock or not. My body shivered as pleasure pulsated through my veins.My pussy throbb
Lilliana’s POVThe tension grew thicker and I felt like a ticking time bomb about to explode. My entire being felt as though jolts of electricity were passing through it as I stared at him dead in the eyes.“Do you think I want to be here? Do you think I want to be with you out of all the other places I could be right now?” I asked, my breathing paced as everyone, including Nikolai, looked shocked.The servants looked as though they had their heart in their throat and Nikolai looked lost, he wasn’t expecting to have ticked me off to this extent and no one, not even him would’ve expected me to stand up for myself.I was done apologizing, kissing his ass like he could do anything to me. The least he could do was order for me to be killed and I’ll regret it if I died without saying all that I wanted to.The atmosphere is pin-drop silent as I thought of what I was going to say next but nothing came, I couldn’t think of anything else and maybe what I’ve said is enough.It’s not everyday yo
Lilliana’s POV“Why are you here?” I asked as I tried to move but I was unable to do that because his grip around me tightened, causing me to swallow as I looked around frantically.Words failed me as I stood there with Nikolai on me for a while. Different thoughts ran through my mind, I wanted to be mad at him but not when he’s so vulnerable and could barely even stand.Goodness! Why does he always find my door?The hallway was empty and soon, it felt as though my brain had been awakened as I looked around again just to be sure. I didn’t want him in my room but I also didn’t want him wandering around in his drunken state.His temperature had risen so much that fear soon gripped me, “just how much wolfsbane did you have?” I asked as I tried to balance him and help him to his room.“Are you trying to kill yourself?” I snapped but there was no use, he was out cold with his body burning up so bad that I winced each time his body touched mine until I got used to it.The best thing to do i
Lilliana’s POVSmiling as I made my way to my bedroom, I was filled with a new sense of hope and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about everything Nikolai said back in his room.My heart warmed as I laid on my bed and with no worries to keep me up at night, I drifted off to a peaceful, dreamless world with Nikolai on my mind.The sound of my bedside alarm jolted me out of my thoughts and I was going to snooze it but the thought of seeing Nikolai again today caused me to jump out of bed.Humming to myself and feeling hopeful, I had my bath before getting ready for today’s work and I knew that the other maids were surprised by my behavior and some had even gone as far as asking if I hit my head.I’ve seen Nikolai, I know what he’s most scared of, I know now what he wanted and this time I’m almost certain that I can make a difference in his life. I was sure that I could change him and what’s more? I can’t wait for that to happen.What we shared last night was more tha
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
