POV LILY BROWSThe tension in the air was palpable, and my fingers traced the curves of Tyler's body as he pulled me closer. Every touch sent electricity coursing through my entire being. His lips found my neck with a ferocity that sent shivers down my spine."Since the first time I saw you, I can't stop thinking about you," Tyler whispered in my ear, gently biting my earlobe. The closeness between us was overwhelming, and I found myself immersed in sensations I had never experienced before.Tyler, about to remove the towel and reveal his body completely, was interrupted by my hesitation. "I'm sorry... it's still early, we can't do this," I murmured, feeling my heart race in the intensity of the moment.He stood up, respecting my request, nodding in understanding. The expression on his face was a mix of restrained desire and comprehension. "I'm sorry, Lily. We're just friends, and I overstepped."I felt a whirlwind of emotions as I watched him. Silently thanking him for understanding
POV LilyI woke up abruptly, realizing that my alarm hadn't gone off. A quick glance at the clock confirmed the delay. I jumped out of bed in a frenzy, wondering how I could let this happen. The day had barely started, and I was already racing against time.Chloe, always attentive, offered me a quick breakfast. I held a pancake in my hands, savoring the tempting aroma, but time was not on my side. I asked hurriedly for Tyler, and Chloe's response brought a subtle discomfort."He left for work a long time ago," she said, and a tightness settled in my chest. He had left without me. The feeling of being left behind was more disconcerting than I expected.Chloe, sensing my sadness, tried to console me by suggesting I use the family driver. The idea of getting to work in the comfort of a private car, even if it wasn't Tyler's, seemed tempting at that moment.I decided to accept the offer and went to the waiting driver. "Could you take me to the company, please?" I asked with a forced smile
**POV LILY BROWS**I entered the mall, a true consumerism paradise, for the first time. My eyes got lost in the grandeur of the shiny shop windows and the signs promising unmissable discounts. It was a completely new world for me, and excitement pulsed in my chest.Alice, my shopping adventure companion, guided me through the stores, and I felt like an intruder in a universe of glamour and elegance. The first stop was a clothing store displaying mannequins dressed in pieces from famous brands. As I entered, the atmosphere of luxury surrounded me, and the feeling of inadequacy set in.The impeccably dressed saleswomen cast disdainful glances at me as soon as I stepped into the store. It was as if my mere reflection in their mirror could tarnish the aura of sophistication they cultivated. Instead of offering to help, they rolled their eyes and whispered among themselves, clearly refusing to assist me.I stood still, embarrassed, not knowing how to react. That's when Alice, realizing the
**POV LILY BROWS**The tempting aroma of my homemade dinner permeated every corner of the house, wrapping it in a cozy atmosphere. I had spent hours in the kitchen, carefully preparing every detail of the feast that I hoped would surprise Tyler. The hope that this night would be special lingered in the air.After putting the finishing touches on the dishes, I took a deep breath and smiled, satisfied with the result. Love and dedication were the main ingredients of that meal, and I longed for the moment to share it.While the dinner finished in the oven, I rushed to the bedroom to get ready. I chose a dark blue dress, elegant and accentuating every subtle curve. The soft fabric embraced my body, and I felt ready for the occasion. The hours spent choosing the outfit were worth it, and the anticipation of waiting for Tyler added an exciting tone to the moment.With the table set, candles lit, and soft jazz filling the air, I reclined on the sofa, eager for the door to open. Every second
**POV LILY BROWS**The atmosphere in the hospital room was heavy, with Mrs. Miller lying frail in bed, and Tyler struggling to maintain composure. The matriarch's gentle voice cut through the silence, filling the space with a tone of gratitude and vulnerability."My dear son, I'm sorry for causing you worry!" Mrs. Miller expressed her concern, her eyes conveying gratitude for our presence."Stay calm, Mom! Don't strain yourself too much; the doctor said your heart is recovering from the heart attack..." Tyler spoke tenderly, helping her settle in bed. The bond between mother and son was visible, a strong connection that withstood life's adversities.Slowly, Mrs. Miller shifted her gaze to me, and a faint smile formed on her lips. "Lily... dear, thank you for standing by Tyler at this moment. My son pretends to be strong, but... I imagine seeing his mother in a hospital bed, in the red room, receiving intravenous fluids, must be difficult for him!"I held Mrs. Miller's delicate hand, r
Olivia entered the healer's chamber with a mix of anxiety and fury, her eyes flashing with desperation. The healer, with a serene countenance, awaited amidst herbs and mystical artifacts. "What's happening? Why isn't Noah showing the expected signs?" Olivia shouted, her voice echoing off the walls of the room. Her heart pounded, a combination of fear and anger. The healer lifted a calm gaze and said, "His blood is different from that of the Supreme Alpha, Olivia. It doesn't show signs of regeneration like his father's." Olivia's expression contorted in despair. "He's about to turn one, we should see something, anything! He's the son of the Supreme Alpha!" The healer sighed, as if accustomed to dealing with such situations. "Children like Noah can take up to seven or eight years to fully develop supernatural traits. Until then, we can't be certain." A strident scream escaped Olivia's lips. "This is absurd! I killed the child's true father; I can't have done it for nothing!" Maint
pov Lily Mrs. Miller gazed at me with a serious look, revealing an unusual proposal that made my heart race. "My dear Lily, I've seen the sadness in Tyler's eyes, the pain of losing his old family. I want to see him start anew, find joy again. So, I'm making an offer to you: one million dollars if you agree to marry Tyler and give him a child. I believe it would be a fresh start for both of you."The news hit me like a lightning bolt, and I almost fainted in surprise. I needed time to process those unexpected words. "I need to think this over," I managed to stammer, nervous.Mrs. Miller, unfazed, added, "Of course, my dear. Take all the time you need, but know that I sincerely hope you make the right decision. You have one week to give your answer."Then she handed me an envelope with ten thousand dollars. "This should help buy whatever you need and perhaps ease a bit of the burden Tyler carries. Take good care of him."The doctor interrupted our conversation, informing us that Mrs.
Birthday of Noah, one year...Supreme Alpha's POVThe sound of Noah's incessant crying echoed through the room, piercing my ears and fueling my irritation. That child, who should have been my source of joy, had become a source of frustration."This child is always sick; something is wrong!" I shouted, feeling the anger bubbling within me.Olivia, trying to soothe both Noah and my fury, muttered something about the healer and her assurances that the baby's condition would improve over time. I was not willing to accept that explanation."It's been a year since everything ended, and my son can barely walk... always with a fever, crying in pain. Something is wrong!" I growled impatiently, making my discontent clear.Olivia, in her attempt to calm the turbulent waters, insisted on the healer's words, but I interrupted her vehemently."I don't care what that stupid old woman said. My son has been like this for several days, and she seems incapable of solving the problem. Maybe I should cut
