LILA POV

I shouldn't have come here. I shouldn't be here. The realization claws at my mind as I stand frozen, dressed in a black short gown fitted to my exact measurements.

The thin straps rest on my shoulders, holding up a V-neckline that exposes my cleavage.

The hemline is short, stopping at my mid-thigh, ensuring every fucking step I take is measured. The long slit exposes my thighs, commanding every bit of attention.

With the click of my five-inch platform heels, I feel like a fancy hooker. Each step I take draws every fucking gaze to me, like I'm some kind of princess. Men stare. Guys gape. If only they knew I was nothing but Rafael's puppet.

The room...

It smells like money, power, and bad decisions. Golden chandeliers hang from the ceiling, illuminating the polished floor, making everything feel expensive-like sin wrapped in luxury. Heavy velvet drapes line the walls, blood-red and dramatic, as if the place itself knows what kind of business goes down here.

  • Alpha Rafael: Chasing My Ex Wife   164

    LILAI'm over the moon. Why?Because Rafael granted me the one thing I asked for, he released her.And that alone feels like a weight lifted. He's already juggling a thousand things, Pack affairs, meetings with the Seers, searching for a way to break this curse that's slowly bleeding me from the inside, and still, he did this for me. For us.Nicklaus has been a rock too, He's been cracking skulls diving headfirst into decoding the damn tattoo marking and figuring out what the hell it means for Ava and whatever bigger picture we're all tangled in. I know he's spread thin, but he hasn't once complained. And Ava? Goddess, that girl's been through enough already. I can't afford to unload more on her plate. Mostly when she's just finding her footing again.And Theo... yeah. That's another mountain I'll have to climb soon. But first, it's her.My mother. My mind is made up, I'm going to see her today. Maybe we'll talk like we used to. Maybe I'll get back the version of her that used to brai

    RAFAELWalking down the cold, damp corridor of the cellar is the last damn thing I ever thought I'd be doing today. And definitely not to let her out.I stop by the iron door and glance at the palace guard. "Open it."The lock clicks open with a low creak, and before the door is even fully open, she's already gliding toward it like she owns the fucking place."Ah, so the mighty Alpha finally remembered his prisoner." Her voice is honeyed, sweet... nauseating. "You've come to release me? How noble."I grit my teeth. Goddess, grant me the strength not to lose my shit."You should be falling to your knees in gratitude," I deadpan. "Because if it were up to me, you'd still be rotting in here chewing on air. Your daughter made this call. Not me."She steps out slowly, dramatically, as if she's some sort of mistreated queen. Her skin is pale, her figure thinner, but her eyes? Still sharp. Still dangerous."Oh, Rafael, always so dramatic," she coos, brushing invisible dust off her wrinkled s

    RAFAELThe moon goddess knows how fucking excited I was when she told me she was pregnant.It was like every ounce of anger, betrayal, and silence I'd been holding onto just cracked. Crumbled. Dissolved.The thought of her carrying my pup, our pup, inside her... and this time, I'd be here. I'd do it right. No missed years. No regrets.Goddess, kill me already... That was more than a dream come true. That was everything.But that excitement? It died the moment the Pack doctor opened his damn mouth.I swear my entire world stopped spinning.Why the hell does everything in my life have to be so fucking complicated?Why can't I have peace just once, just fucking once?My hands curl into fists, knuckles white, jaw tight enough to crack. I don't want her to see it, but I'm spiraling inside.She almost died. She and the baby.And I couldn't do a damn thing about it.I sit by her bedside, staring at her pale skin, her fragile breaths, and that IV tube taped to her arm. My Lila, the strongest

    LILAI've come to realize that the things you shove aside? They always come back to eat you up.But you know what's worse? Living in fear of when they'll return.These past few days, the idea of the curse hadn't even crossed my mind... until now. Good things, they say, never last for long.I blink awake to the weight of Rafael's leg lazily entangled with mine. His arm drapes over my waist like I belong there, like I've always belonged there. And of course I do belong there.Watching him sleep, so peacefully, so deeply, I can swear he hadn't gotten a wink the entire time we were apart. The worry had eaten him alive.Now he looks calm. At ease. His chest rising in slow rhythm, soft snores barely audible. He's so damn handsome even in sleep, it's unfair.I rake my hand softly across his cheek, my fingers tracing the familiar path of his jaw. The events of last night rush through me in a warm, dizzying wave, making my body heat up instantly.Last night was... bliss.He didn't stop after o

    AVAAfter dinner, I know I'll be left alone with my thoughts. I mean, anyone in my shoes would be flustered, right?My life feels like a badly scripted soap opera, twists, betrayals, secrets... It's like I'm constantly flipping pages of a life I didn't sign up for.Who are my biological parents?That question keeps hitting the walls of my brain like a ping-pong ball. I've grown up in an orphanage, passed from one foster home to another until I got adopted... survived things I don't talk about out loud. I've endured more than most people could stomach in one lifetime.Raped.Yeah. That word. Heavy and ugly.My past isn't something I wear proudly like a badge, hell, it's something I tucked so deep down even I forgot it was there sometimes. But it shaped me. Molded me. Toughened every damn layer of me.I've learned to be strong. That weakness? It's not even in my vocabulary anymore. Or so I thought...Until all of this. Until the soul pact. Until the fangs.Until I found out I wasn't eve

    LILAMy head's been a burning mess since I found out I'm pregnant.Breakfast was awkwardly silent-no word from me, no attempt to explain anything. I told myself I'd drop the news during breakfast, but I couldn't bring myself to do it.I haven't slept a wink since I left Ava's room. Nicklaus, that dude, just won't leave her side for a second.Now I'm wide awake, sprawled across the big bed Rafael and I used to share. It's been all mine this past week. He's been sleeping in another quarter completely.I sit up and slide out of bed, walking over to the mirror. I pull my hair loose from its knotted bun and let it fall freely down my back. I stare at my reflection-just a nightdress on, eyes tired, heart racing.Maybe I need to do something reckless. Something stupid.I reach for my favorite perfume, spraying it gently across my neck and the pulse points he used to kiss. The scent fills the air-familiar, strong, unforgettable. If this doesn't grab his attention, nothing will.Finally, I gra
