Delilah's POV: I would have loved to listen to her discovery but the creepy way in which she was gawking at me made me want to run the hell out of there. I could literally feel worms crawling all over my skin but still, I stood my ground and didn't even waver my gaze away. Seemed like Adeline could feel my discomfort as she moved closer to Luke and nudged his elbow. Luke rubbed his hand over his face and walked toward us, "Asteria, I think we can talk about it later on. We don't have much time left as the moon will disappear into the dawn soon." A small, creepy smile crept over Asteria's lips as she whispered, "Later, Delilah." With that, she turned around and I finally exhaled the air stuck in my lungs. Adeline was beside me in an instant. I gripped her arm, "That was odd." Her eyes narrowed down, "And fishy." My eyes followed Asteria as she gracefully stood beside the altar. She touched Dorian's hand and said aloud, "He's been dead for more than two hours." Adeline rushed towa

Delilah's POV:For someone who had lived her entire life as an ordinary human, I was meeting blow after blow ever since I stepped into this town. Now not only was I a werewolf but I was also a healer. Having no idea how to digest the information, I sighed deeply and turned to the altar, "Can we discuss Dorian at the moment, please?"Asteria approached me, "Well, he is fine now. Just so weak and needs abundant rest before he can finally wake up from a deep slumber."I whooshed out a breath of relief but it was just short-lived as another worry gripped me, "We have to keep him hidden from those monsters. They think he is dead, I want to let it stay that way before he finally wakes up and decides for himself."Adeline blurted as a matter of fact, "Then where are we going to keep him? We can't take him to the hostel."Luke spoke up, "I can take him to the pack mansion. I'll just have to call Xander and..."My head flew in his direction as I seethed out, "NO." Anger crept under my skin at

Delilah's POV:Adeline's eyes widened and she wheezed, "But why? What does it even mean?"I shrugged while thinking hard, "I have no clue...maybe something related to me being thrown in the dungeons illegally?"Her head shook in denial, "Ethan's father is a council member, he would go to any extent to bury the matter instead of casting a bad light on his son in front of the entire council."I groaned agitatingly, "What the hell is going on? Couldn't they just tell me the reason for being summoned?"Adeline squeezed my hand, "Relax. How about we call Luke and clarify the matter? The only person who knows about the workings of Council is him."I was glad to have Adeline by my side. How did she manage to be like this? No matter how big the problem was, she would always try to think calmly and find a solution instead of panicking like me.As soon as I approved her idea, she grabbed the phone and dialed his number. Picking up, he snickered mischievously on the other side, "Missing me alrea

Delilah's POV: I jerked up on the bed with a gasp. Hastily taking in my surroundings, I realized that I was in my room and not in some lush green garden. But it felt real, so very real. I heard footsteps as Addy entered the room, "Finally, you are up." Drawing the curtains away from the window, she let me know, "You have been sleeping like a dead for the last 24 hours, Delilah. I couldn't help checking your breathing to know you were still alive." Rubbing my temples, I winced, "24 hours?" Addy nodded, "Yeah, but that's reasonable after all the sleepless nights you recently had." I glanced at the wall clock, "It's 7 in the morning." Turning toward me, she informed me, "Yes, and we have to get ready, remember?" Groaning, I flopped back on the bed, "Yeah, I have to go to the Council for Goddess knows what." At her mention, I thought back to the dream. I vividly remembered what happened in the garden and all her words were still embedded in my mind. I considered telling Addy for a

Delilah's POV:I was stunned silent for a long moment. Was it all a joke to them? There was no proper trial, I wasn't even given a chance to speak. I ran my gaze from one member to the next and anger crept under my skin at the subtle smiles plastering on their faces.Akira was pacing angrily in my mind, fighting me to give her control. I wanted to relax her but how could I when I too was feeling pure anger coursing through my veins?My blood boiled hotter when Ethan stood up and walked to the center of the courtroom. Head hanging low, he tried to appear respectful but the cunning aura surrounding him was quite visible to me. Referring to the members, he stated, "As much as I feel disrespected and betrayed by Delilah Dimitri I can't neglect the fact that she is my fated mate. In the respect of Moon Goddess, I am willing to forgive her crimes if she is ready to apologize to me publicly."The council member cooed up, "Oh, that's so generous of you, Alpha Ethan." Then his sharp gaze turned
