Nikolai’s POVMy teeth gritted as I examined the room and when the guard told me that everyone was gathered in the safety room already, I rushed there in a bid to find Lilliana.“Where is Lilliana?!” I roared, not caring about anybody else when I looked around and she wasn’t anywhere in the room.“She’s safe, Alpha,” one of the guards responded to my question and I turned with my blood boiling as I raised an eyebrow.“She’s still in the private wing and no one can get there. We tried to get her out but she insisted she was fine.” He explained.I let out a sigh of relief before ordering all of them to remain in the safety room until everything had died down.Five hours had passed and despite the fact that everything had died down, everyone was still a bit destabilized.I’d gone to check on Lilliana and she was sleeping peacefully with her stomach down which made me smile.I needed to work, I needed to do something about these terrorists because I knew that their attack wouldn’t stop at

Lilliana’s POVGroaning, I wanted to turn but the force holding me back made it impossible, my eyes fluttered open and the memories started flooding me.I felt a little sore and it was surprising considering the fact that Nikolai was unbelievably gentle last night.A small smile tugged at the side of my lips as I snuggled closer into him. It felt as though time had stopped as I took in his scent.The satisfaction, waves of ecstasy, everything washed through me as I felt more relaxed than I’ve felt in months. I wanted this moment to last forever.I wanted him to keep holding me like this and I wanted it to be just us against the world. My smile grew wider as the thoughts kept rushing through my mind.“Good Morning,” Nikolai’s gruff voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I just smiled as he held me closer, rubbing my belly and kissing my hair.“How was your night?” He asked, turning me over so that I was going to be facing him. His face early in the morning had always been the highlight

Lilliana’s POV“I really have to go now, Lily,” Nikolai kissed me, “I’m already exhausted and can’t wait to be back here with you.” He sighed.Smiling, I kissed him again before helping him readjust his tie. I knew how busy Nikolai was going to be today because of the meeting.The house was also going to be filled with people swooping in and out of it and from all of the slight noises I’ve been hearing, I could tell that everyone he invited were coming around already.“I know, just go and get all of this over with, I’ll be waiting for you.” I assured him, kissing him again before pulling away from him.Nikolai nodded and I watched as he left the room, my eyes lingered on the door for a while and I couldn’t help but sigh as I went to bed.It’s still very early in the morning and Nikolai hasn’t even been gone for up to five minutes and I was already missing him.The spirits are a menace, asides from their attack yesterday, they’ve attacked in the midnight too and I can’t help but feel s

Lilliana’s POVIt’s been a while since the meeting was declared over and so I decided to leave the kitchen and go in search of him.It felt like forever since the last time I saw him, I missed him and couldn’t wait till I saw him again. Sighing, I couldn’t believe that I’d allowed what Kieran said to get into my head.So what if Nikolai hadn’t proposed to me? It doesn’t mean that he isn’t taking me seriously since we both agreed to take things slow.“That guy is just so full of bullshit.” I shook my head as I tried to tell myself that I couldn’t possibly let a stranger that I don’t know anything about feed me things about my own relationship.He knows nothing about my relationship and the last thing I’m going to let him do is to make an analysis and opinions on my stance with Nikolai.Kieran was in no place to evaluate my bond with Nikolai. So, I decided to get rid of all the thoughts that were about to start tormenting me out of a short, few seconds conversation with that man who loo

Lilliana’s POVWhat the hell is she doing here? Why is she here?Truckload of questions kept dancing around in my head as I paced around the room and I just couldn’t help but be angry at Nikolai.He definitely knew about this, he knows that she’s back in the house because he had sent her away and there’s no way he’s not going to be aware of the fact that she was back.She wouldn’t be here if Nikolai didn’t approve of it.“Hey baby, I know I said I was going to end the meeting as soon as I could but I couldn’t, there were tons of pressing issues to tend to.” Nikolai explained as soon as he walked in.He walked towards me as quickly as he could and just when he’d expressed his arms to hug me, I pulled away from him, getting a raised eyebrow out of him.“What’s going on?” He asked, his voice heavy with worry and his eyes traveling around my body, “what’s wrong? Are you okay?” He had the nerve to ask.“Jenna? Really?!” I yelled and I saw Nikolai sigh as the worry wiped off his face, “what
