Delilah's POV:I rubbed my forehead to think about what to do now. After a moment, something clicked in my mind, and I jerked toward Xee, "We can take help from Deborah."Addy nodded her head, "Yeah, she too is a powerful witch. Maybe she can lift off the spell that was put on Dorian by Asteria."I was staring at Xee with hope that soon died inside me as his eyes saddened and he shook his head, "Deborah is gone."I screeched out at that, "Gone? What do you mean by gone? And where?"He took a deep breath and informed me, "I have no idea where. All she told me was that she was going out of the continent for good. Maybe what happened with Asteria was taking a toll on her."I swallowed the lump in my throat and urged, "Can't you go and find her just like the last time you did?"Noticing my unrest, Xee crossed the distance between us, and held my shoulders, "I'd have already done that if I could." He sighed tiredly, "But no one knows where she had been off to. I can still try and sift thro

Delilah's POV:Clenching my fists at my sides, I sprinted out of the room and fled down the stairs. Adeline was right behind me as I jogged all the way to the porch where Bianca was protesting and threatening the guards to let her in. Huh, as if she stood a chance against those deadly lycans.I stomped my foot on the floor and shouted, "What the hell is happening here?"As the guards let her go, Bianca straightened up and looked me up and down. Head tilting to the side, she bit out, "Where is he?" Instead of letting me answer, she cried out, "Where are you hiding that loser of an Omega?"My anger spiked as I narrowed my eyes menacingly, "Don't you dare insult him in front of me again, Bianca."Adeline stepped forward and looked her dead in the eyes, "What exactly are you doing here?"Bianca huffed out angrily, "As if I am interested in talking to you." Her eyes widened as she spit venomously, "Of course, I am here to end this fucking mate bond with that fucker."I folded my arms in fro

Delilah's POV:Akira sprinted into the woods, piercing the air, anger still rolling off her in waves. I was hella scared as she kept her gaze forward and raced around the trees. She had never done this before. She had always been a sensible and collected wolf. I tried to reason with her but it seemed like all my pleadings were falling on deaf ears and the more I tried, the more she pushed me back in my mind. She wasn't ready for any conversation.All of a sudden, I heard leaves rustling behind us. Someone was chasing us in the forest. Akira jerked her head around and looked over her shoulder to find the blackest of the wolves dashing in our direction, trying to catch up.I didn't need time to recognize those golden eyes that were now glowing. Fang was faster and sharper but it only aggravated Akira's stubborness and she increased her pace. I could feel Xee trying to mindlink us but Akira was blocking his entry with all her might.After two more failed tries, Xee forced his way into our

Delilah's POV:Rounding the mansion, I reached the back lawn and saw that Xee had already reached there. His hands were bound at his back and he was pacing the length of the gazebo while waiting for me. My scent must have wafted toward him because he suddenly turned his head in my direction.With quick steps, I made my way to the gazebo and said through the ball of nervousness rolling in my stomach, "Hi."He moved his hand forward, "Hey, how're you doing?"I took his hand and helped myself onto the gazebo, "I'm good. You tell?"His eyes roamed all over my face curiously before they pierced my eyes as he asked, "What's up? Is everything okay?"I swallowed before nodding my head slowly, "I think so." As he raised his eyebrow in question, I rushed out, "I just wanted to talk to you."Cocking his head to the side, he inquired, "About what, Dee?"I heaved a heavy breath and let it all out, "About what happened in the forest. To be specific, I am talking about the part where Fang asked Akir

Delilah's POV:Reaching the mansion, I fled inside where Dorian and other pack members were already waiting for me. Taking the bags from me, they started decorating the hall with balloons and other items. Leaving them to it, I moved to the kitchen with Isabella following me.She helped me gather all the ingredients and utensils that I needed and just like that, we were all set to make a birthday cake for my best friend. Honestly, I had never made a cake before but because the head chef was going to look over me, I was excited to give it a go.Isabella with other cooks set off to make lasagna, steaks, meatballs, and steamed lamb ribs whereas I readied the cake batter.After two hours and lots of mistakes and groaning, I had finally succeeded in making the chocolate fudge cake, Addy's favorite. Setting it in the fridge to cool, I exited the kitchen and moved to the hall.I halted at the entrance and took in the scene unfolding in front of me. Many of the pack members were busy decoratin
