We stood in front of Mr James' house and I nodded at Jakob to go ahead and ring the doorbell which he did and we waited for anyone to get the door.
Soon after, the door bolt made an opening sound and the door creaked open afterwards. Mr James stepped out and a surprise look broke out in his face.
"My Alpha...greetings," he bowed slightly.
"May I have a word with you Mr James?"
"Of course, My Alpha...please do come in," he offered, stepping away from the door a bit to give me entrance to go in.
"Not to worry about that...I'm totally alright here and I won't be taking much of your time anyways…" I said.
LIAM'S POVIt took a little while for Lily to walk down the stairs. I was tempted to think she wasn't coming down. Who knows Danny must have told her not to but I felt a bit relieved to see her coming down.There was some sort of awkward air around us the moment she got down.Then she cleared her throat and asked me, "You found them?""Errr… no but I'm close… I have a few questions for you. It would help me a lot…""Questions? Alright then, shoot,""I need to know everything...I mean the enemies and friends of your mother then...was she in some sor
"Oh my! What a surprise, greetings my Alpha…"A woman that looked to be in her human life; early forties offered greetings to Liam. She was totally taken aback by Liam's surprise visit at first and did barely enough to hide her surprise.Liam sized her up, slim with pale skin and deep red lipsticks that shone a little above brightly. Extreme. Curly short pale hair that matched her skin.Liam thought she looked a bit creepy but quickly waved it off as he remembered he came for something and couldn't afford to lose track of himself."Maggie right?" Liam asked, fixing his gaze directly at her."You remember Ms James, don't you?" Liam asked, go
"Alpha Liam…" Helen stuttered inaudibly as she sighted Liam coming towards her in giant steps and long strides. She smelled danger with the way Liam's facial expression held so much anger in it and the dangerous smoke his footsteps released as he walked towards her. He didn't look friendly at all.Liam got to her front and stood there menacingly.His eyes stared daggers and knives at Helen and when he opened his mouth to speak, his words came out with so much venom and burning fire, enough to burn Helen's skin."Did you really believe that Lily killed her mother or did you intentionally lie to me? You had always known you had a mate but lied to me to keep Lily from me? Answer me!" Liam barked at Helen who was already beginning to quiver in fear.
LIAM'S POVI stared out of the window. The warm sensational summer breeze whipping my face, although nice and wonderful, couldn't help my languishing state. I felt so miserable and disheartened after my full discovery.My Alpha wolf felt the most miserable and hurt. Never felt my Alpha aura gone that low and filled with sadness. I guess my regrets ate deep into my wolf form causing my entire form to be covered in abject regret.Truly, Mara and Maggie had killed Lily's mother that night. I fixed the puzzles even before they confessed behind closed doors. I had them arrested and kept in the dungeon and yes they confessed to it all and shamefully asked that they be forgiven. Maybe I would have considered that if I only hadn't made my mate go through so much in my hands. I felt a painful sensation that tightened my chest each time I thought about the whole time I had Lily flogged, thrown in the dungeon and starve
Seeing Lily standing before me got me so tongue tied and I felt my whole body so jittery that I couldn't move neither further nor backwards."Ehem!" She cleared her throat to get my attention after what seemed like forever of silence and a bit of awkwardness that hovered around us.I stared at her for a while."So?" She started off letting her body lean gently on the door handle."Oh, come in…" She said and started to head in while she left the door ajar for me to get in. I shifted my clothes collar as I followed her in quietly. I felt like my tie was suddenly choking me. Phew! Like I hadn't worn it for long and felt totally okay but suddenly, I was feeling tense and sort of light-head
LILY'S POVI had never felt so much pain rope my heart, not even close to what I felt being hurt by my mate like the way I got tangled in pain the moment Alpha Liam revealed those responsible for my mother's death.Not when Liam imprisoned me, not when he publicly rejected me and not when I was nearly killed by a rogue had I felt such excruciating tightening pain in my heart before, ever! Maggie and Mara had pierced my heart with a sharp sword and never would I forgive them.My wolf was hurt too, she had whimpered in pain the whole time and nearly got out of its cage if not for Danny stopping me. I feared what she would have done if Danny hadn't stepped in.I definitely wouldn't have blamed h
Minutes after Liam had left the castle, Lily and Danny prepared to go see Maggie and Mara.Danny noticed how low Lily appeared, then he tried to lift her mood."For someone that defeated the great Noah, this should have not a single push on her, don't you think?" Danny asked, wiping his wet hands with the kitchen towel.Lily lifted her eyes at him and dropped it again without saying a word.Danny sighed seeing that his plan failed and he knew nothing much would likely change even if he went on trying to make a silly joke as Lily was totally down."It's okay if you don't want to see them…"
Danny watched Lily sob quietly at a corner. She curled her body into a foetal position very close to the wall, her head covered with her shaking hands as she trembled with sobs.The throbbing veins that had appeared in her neck had fortunately gone in. For a moment back there, Danny thought Lily would transform and act rashly. She was near shape shifting; her fangs were shot out already and her claws sprouted out dangerously. It was only a matter of time before she had run off and surely would have done something horrible. Her mood was nasty enough to make such happen.Now he wasn't too worried that she was shape shifting out of anger. He knew how dangerous that could be.Her sobs filled the surrounding even as quiet as she made them be. Danny heard it all. Soon th
