LILITH’S POV:His hand suddenly rips through his chest, pulling a pumping heart that beats for 5 seconds before stopping; the same amount of time it takes for his lifeless body to hang over me before he finally drops onto the floor.The guard moves away from my vision and the real perpetrator stands over me, holding the dead heart in his hands, staring at the amount of blood dripping down his fingers like it’s nothing.He tosses the heart aside like trash, turning to the other person right behind him, Ivan“Gouge out his eyes and put it on the display for disrespectful members of my guards to see and remember to keep their personal desires in check.”“Yes, Alpha.” Ivan says right before he pulls out a small dagger and leaves my field of vision.I’m gasping for air now, still falling into unconsciousness when he finally looks down at my limp body with an emotionless gaze. He stares at my almost naked chest just before he takes off the jacket hanging over his shoulders and drops it ov
LILITH’S POV:Alpha fucking Kain Gerard, the most unreadable bastard I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.Everything about him annoys the hell out of me.From his hellish attitude and the obnoxious gaze he passes on every one, like they are simply his underlings placed in this world to do just his bidding.Then, there’s the annoying yet drop dead gorgeous face of his that drives me completely mad.How anyone can be so unreasonable and cold, I will never know.I groan heavily, now shifting away from Ariel that sits behind me, gently applying a soothing balm to my now healing bruises.“I’m sorry to bother you, but can you say still for a moment?” She says with her timid voice, trying her best not to show her annoyance.I sigh.“Sorry, these past few days just haven’t been the best.” I say.Having fully given up on the ‘using the Alpha to succeed in my mission’ route, I have to spend much more time gathering enough information I can from other members of his court and his people a
LILITH’S POV“What the fuck are you doing here?”I unconsciously flinch at the sound of his voice raised at me, suddenly unable to look up into his eyes.Where had this all gone wrong?The plan had been almost perfect, in and out with no detection and yet, the Alpha just had to show up from nowhere. I wasn’t even able to detect his presence.Just what breed of wolf is this bastard?“I can explain.” I start, stalling to think up something.“You better start talking now before I really lose my temper and lock you up somewhere you’d never see the rays of the sun ever again.” He warns while lowering his voice.I gulp, taking a step away from his threatening aura that’s suddenly choking me.“Well… well, I was just trying to—”I stop mid-sentence just when rustling in the hedges around us becomes evident, drawing my attention away from the Alpha only momentarily.From the corner of my eyes, I see a reflection of light from something metallic. Before I can put everything together, Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POVDespite his cold and uncaring exterior, his lips are soft and warm against mine and unlike the first kiss we had shared that had been hard and demanding, this is the complete opposite.He presses gently against mine, showing just as much need as before but with a softness to it, switching off all logical thoughts hanging in my brain in the process.I let him into my mouth while he takes the opportunity to quickly suckle on my tongue now.With the strength I had no idea he still had, he lifts me up my butt while still sitting up in bed, dropping me right on his lap.And immediately, I feel his hard rod right underneath me, poking at my unclothed core through the thick blanket.An unconscious moan passes through my lips before I can stop myself.His hands slide up my thighs beneath the large shirt hanging over my naked body, feeling up my curves, squeezing my ass in the process.I bit hard on my lower lip to stop the moan from escaping but he forces his tongue deeper in my
LILITH’S POV:The very first useful information I’ve been able to get is written in the tiniest piece of paper, perfectly encrypted in case of interception.The paper lies in the pocket of my jeans but I just need to find a way to get it outside and pass it via bird to the Riverstone pack.The only problem now is Ivan standing right in my room, watching my every step.“Don’t you have other things to handle besides hanging around me? You are the Beta of this pack.” I say, trying to instigate some sort of warrior pride in him.He looks back at me dully.“Don’t worry, love, I have someone handling most of it while I work here.”“Aren’t you pissed off that your Alpha assigned you to be the guard of some defiant annoying girl?” I pry further, trying to get into his head.He should be as annoyed as I am, being stuck together despite our obvious dislike of one another.“Ah, so you do know that you’re annoying.” He quips back without even batting an eyelash.“That’s not the point…” I snap now
LILITH’S POV:Today already starts off differently from most with everyone running around, trying to make everything almost perfect for the convoy coming in from Silverstone pack.Just like their Alpha, everyone seems to be just as much of a perfectionist as he is. On the bright side, I have Ivan off my back for the most part.He’s been too engrossed in Beta duties to watch me like a hawk, which means I get to investigate the full degree of the event going on. The information I could possibly get from this meeting alone could be crucial.I could get close enough to this Alpha and secure data they’d share asnew allies to Kain, and deliver every juicy detail to Alpha Arden.Possibly information that could finally put me in a place where no one could ever look down on me again, that could finally get me the attention from Alpha Arden.Call me a girl with Daddy issues, but he’s been the closest thing to a father since the death of my parents and naturally, a child would strive to achieve
LILITH’S POV:“Alpha Kain Gerard!” Jared turns to him so fast.His tone changes quickly as though he’s more than pleased to see the man he had only greeted a minute ago.“I was just asking the help for directions.” He smiles effortlessly, like he wasn’t just actively hitting on me seconds ago and in the process of leaning in for a kiss.Kain’s frown remains and visibly deepens now. I can’t say if it’s because he naturally dislikes the man like I do, or because he’s seen something disturbing.“She’s not a help, she’s my concubine.” He responds coldly.Something in the way he claims me for himself seems almost possessive and tickles me in a funny way in my chest, but I brush it off.He simply sees me as an object as always.His cold eyes move towards me and the intensity has me shivering and smiling nervously. I immediately read the look he’s giving me.Come here.I don’t need to be told twiceI jog to the other side right by Kain’s, like a tiny bunny in the midst of two wolves.“My apo
LILITH’S POV:That fucker has a goddamn son, and I never had a single clue.It was never in the files I read at the time, then again if I had enough interest in his case I would have figured out he was the Alpha of Silvermoon.This new information leaves me shocked and wondering what sane woman would willingly carry the offspring of that asshole into this world…And then I remember that we are in an era where an Alpha gets to have as many women as he needs in his harem.Lucky for him, he looks nothing like his father.All the shock wears off before lunch, the grand feast prepared for the occasion and the visitors involved.I change into a second dress freer than the last with a low neck plunge that gives a nice view of my generous bosom and tiny bejeweled hands. The upper part fits perfectly to my slender figure and the dress flays out from the hips.By the time I get to the hall, it’s already mostly filled up.At the center of the room is this 10ft long table with more than enough
