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 POVGroaning, I slammed the paper I was working on on the table and placed my head on it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about Lilliana and the kind of hold she has on me.My mind drifted off to what happened between us last night and my dick twitched. The more I think about her, the more I want her and I have never wanted someone as much as this.Why? Why is this happening? Why can’t I get her off my mind?“Focus, Nikolai, Focus.” I told myself as I swallowed before trying to put my attention on the papers that I needed to work on but my little word of affirmation to myself didn’t seem to be working.How am I supposed to focus when the only thing I can bring myself to think about is Lilliana?How perfect she is, the sound of her moans last night, the way her arms wrapped around me, the way her pussy welcomed my cock and the way I stupidly confessed my feelings for her?How am I supposed to focus when thoughts like that wouldn’t stop lingering in my min
Nikolai’s POV“What do you think you’re—“ the rest of her words got stuck in her throat as she fell down to her knees and bowed her head when she realized that I was the one who had held her.The atmosphere froze over as the rest of them except Lilliana did the same. She looked surprised to see me but I didn’t care for what she felt about me at the moment.Anger rose in me like a ride and fury vibrated through my being as I burned with anger. The tears glistening in Lilliana’s eyes made my fist clench and my teeth gritted as I stared at her.“Stand up.” I ordered and the maid didn’t need a soothsayer to tell her that she was the one I was asking to stand as she stood up at once. Inwardly, I was seething and it was taking all that I had in me to not strangle her to death.“A…. Alpha… I was…” she was stuttering as she cried, my eyes moved from Lilliana and then to the girl, making her swallow as she struggled to form a single sentence.She instantly became a stuttering mess and all the
Lilliana’s POVI found a place out in the garden to sit and I closed my eyes as I let out a groan. I didn’t want to but I couldn’t help but feel like I overreacted. All Nikolai did was to look out for me and I just lashed out at him like it was his fault.I’d gotten in an unfortunate situation with the rest of the maids like I usually do and seeing that I couldn’t stand up for myself, he took it upon himself to do that for me.As much as I hated Denise and the rest for how they usually treated me, the last thing I wanted to feel was guilt for being the reason that a bunch of people lost their jobs.“Why does he have to show up at that moment, gosh.” I said, hitting my legs on the floor and pinching the bridge of my nose as I sighed again. I hated the fact that Nikolai had to be impulsive but what I hated more was the fact that I let my anger overwhelm me.If he hadn’t shown up, I wouldn’t have said all of those things to him out of anger, now I regret letting my anger take over me lik
Lilliana’s POVHis tongue fucked my mouth while his fingers explored my body as he pinned me against the wall, “do you really want to know how you make me feel?” He groaned in my mouth before claiming it again.Unable to say anything, all I did was kiss Nikolai back, my body was hot from everything and I could feel my pussy throbbing so hard that it couldn't wait for Nikolai’s cock.Pulling me away from the wall, we both went mad with pleasure as we kept crashing into anything and everything. Nikolai’s table knocked over and all the papers on it scattered everywhere.“The documents?” I said, pulling away from him but he only slammed me back into him before kissing me even harder than he had initially started kissing me.“I don’t care about it that much.” He said into my mouth before turning me away from the wall I was pushed up against and pinning me against another part of the room. Everything around us, the entire room was falling apart.Our Lycans were relentless and their passions
Nikolai’s POVOpening my eyes, I tried to move but stopped when I felt her arms wrapped around me. I looked down to see her sleeping peacefully and I felt something tug at my heart.She looks gorgeous when asleep, her lips formed a pout and her face was the most beautiful thing anyone could ever wake up to. Smiling to myself, I laid back on the bed as I pulled her closer.She nuzzled herself into me but didn’t open her eyes. I could stare at her for hours and it still wouldn’t feel as though the hours had passed. Looking at her was more than blissful.I could see my life starting to have the colors that even Jenna couldn’t bring into it. My lips formed into a smile and just at that moment, a strand of hair fell across her face.It was distracting me, I wasn’t done staring at her and so I moved the loose tendril to the back of her hair with my fingers as the memories of what happened between us flashed through my mind.Does it make me less of an alpha if I admit that I wanted more than
Lilliana’s POVI was nervous, my palms were sweaty as I sat while the other maids did my makeup, I knew that they would rather be somewhere else than doing my hair, makeup and dressing me up but they had no choice since it was the alpha’s orders.My heart raced, it was beating so loud that I could swear that the sound resonated through the room and the ladies inside could hear it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get it to stop beating fast.It’s the Ceremony of Hircine and I’m going to be spending almost the entire ceremony with Nikolai. I’ve never been to a party this grand and I had no idea what to expect but the thought of being with Nikolai calmed me down a bit.“Our job here is done.” One of the ladies said and I opened my eyes to look at myself in the mirror. I gasped at the sight and tears welled up in my eyes.I didn’t expect to look this good, especially in the dress that Nikolai brought for me. It’s a burgundy dress with tiny straps and petals just at the bottom. I st
Lilliana’s POVMy heart fluttered as we made our way in with camera lights flashing at us and everyone singing Nikolai’s praises. I had no idea how to act and soon, I couldn’t help but feel like my smile was starting to get creepy.The interior was even better than the exterior and my jaw dropped but I quickly regained composure as I tried not to act too surprised. Everything was beautiful and it was almost as though I was in paradise.The light shone brightly and the decoration spoke of elitism. Never in my entire life did I think I would ever set foot in a place like this, my inner child threatened to come out and the urge to run and spin around was so strong that I had to hold tightly onto Nikolai to stop it.“Your face is red,” Nikolai laughed as he turned me over to face me, “have you never been to the ceremony before?” He asked and I growled as I shot him a glare.“Yeah, the poor Omega slave has the opportunity to be in a place like this,” I responded sarcastically, “everything 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
