INICIAR SESIÓNEven Jonathan has no idea why his son suddenly came out of his shell.Ever since the incident three years ago, Knox has built a thick wall around himself. Jonathan couldn’t blame him -- whoever lost their wolf due to poison from their own mother would.Yes, Luna Elena, Knox’s birth mother, poisoned Knox.They were never the closest mother and son. After all, Elena found out about Jonathan's “cheating” while she was carrying Knox, and almost lost her own life due to depression. She survived, but she never came out of that shadow.She cast that shadow over the head of her own son.For a long time, Elena saw Knox as the symbol of the betrayal she suffered. She was carrying Jonathan’s firstborn, his heir to be, his own son, when Jonathan threw away his vow and fucked a younger woman out there.Even though, Knox was innocent in all this.Elena could be a good mother -- it couldn’t be more obvious from how she spoiled Ewan. But that only made it worse for Knox. He knew his mother didn’t lov
She spoke too early.Has never been a professional player, tennis in Lilith’s mind was a quiet court, starlight sometimes, and Leo’s laugh and gentle talk.Not a well lighted court with thousands of people sitting around and above her, all eyes starting with passionate cheerings.In short, scary.Lilith found it hard to focus on her own thoughts, feeling like the eyes around her were like a thousand needles trying to pierce through her shield. When Hannah came for a handshake, Lilith barely had any spare mind to notice who it was.Hannah is obvisouly much more used to attention like this.That’s where growing up a Beta’s daughter in one of the biggest wolf packs paid off -- Hannah is used to be the center of everything. She remained the best warrior for years, which requires her winning the wolf combats in school at the end of every year. She was the popular girl growing up, and the focus of eyes whenever she appeared besides Luna Elena.With a confident yet composed smile, Hannah set
After the incident about Knox, Erica looked visibly better.She took Lilith for a tour of the floor, trying out cuisines and games. Leo followed them around quietly, only providing a hand when the girls purchased something. Lilith didn’t notice; the hostility Leo had against Erica when he first met her was totally gone --Leo took Erica for a guy, too. For like five minutes.“This place is so much fun...” Saying so, Lilith yawns. Tears coming out as she wipes, like a baby too tired to sleep because she got a new toy.“Gosh, it’s late!” Erica laughs at Lilith. “You need to go rest. You got a match tomorrow!”Leo wanted to take Lilith back half an hour ago, but it was too rare to see Lilith so happy so he decided against it. Based on what he saw of Hannah’s tennis skill, Lilith could take her on even on an off day.And it played out exactly as he expected.Hannah was prepared.When coming out of the hallway into the tennis court, Hannah wore a friendly but confident smile, waving to the
Did he know?! Who is this man, seeing through her like she was an open book?!“Was she the one who told you all these royal family secrets?” Leo asks Erica.“Yes!” Erica nods frantically like she was just saved, “Yeah...she, she was my source...”Leo nods with a smile -- If he had doubted whether Erica was the Alpha’s daughter since when she said, “I don’t mind,” when Leo apologized for speculating about the royal family, he knows now.Erica IS that daughter, and for some reason, she doesn’t want people to know.“So what can I do now?” Erica asks Leo in haste, “I mean, what could Knox do now, if his situation is so dangerous? I mean, the Alpha might name an heir any time now!” Erica heard her father the other day, talking to a beta about the matter of naming an Alpha Heir!Let's out a slight laugh, a little surprised, “I mean...that’s not a decision I would dare to talk about.”The little princess is so innocent. Does she know how obvious she is right now, asking for advice on such an
“I happen to know one of his guards,” Erica stammers, suddenly very interested in the view outside the window.It wasn’t all a lie. Erica grew up with Knox’s best friend, who is now the head of Knox’s security detail and future First Beta.“If he was the Alpha Heir at the time of the injury, then it’s understandable,” Leo suddenly says, his slender brows drawing together in thought, as if working through it carefully. “An Alpha Heir’s rank might not be the highest in the pack; it is the symbol of the pack’s future. If someone so important to the pack got so severely injured, it’s a sign to the whole world that the pack is weak and vulnerable, and that might worsen the case and attract more ill attention to a pack that was going through a hard time.”Erica blinks in surprise -- who is this man and why is he talking in her father’s way?!“Not to mention, Knox Hawthorne was not the Alpha’s only son.” Not noticing Erica’s stare, Leo continues his train of thought, “Pointing to another Alp
“I didn’t know you played pool!” Lilith cheers at Leo. With him safe by her side, Lilith could finally let her stiffened nerves rest a little and turn back into the carefree girl she prefers to be.“I know things!” Leo grins, raising his eyebrows at Lilith. “I thought YOU hated pool!”It took Lilith a moment to figure out why Leo would think that way. There was once, just one time, long, long ago, that Leo asked her if she wanted to play pool in a bar. Lilith frowned when she looked over, and Leo never mentioned that ever again.She didn’t hate pooling. She hated the drunk that was playing on one of the tables that night. Those kinds of drunks raised up a lot of bad memories she had working with Beth in her younger days.Lilith didn’t know Leo would pick up her moods so accurately and cautiously.Leo pressed the button for 62, but the elevator opened to 79 first. In the short moment of people walking in, Lilith heard Erica’s voice -- more accurately, her shout -- from the same floor.
Lilith’s POVI woke up in my own bed, to a string of banging of the chair against the floor. It was Rosie and her routine chores. She was the omega assigned to serve me.According to my estimation, her sweeping cut the life of the furniture at least in half.“Glad you are awake, Miss,” Rosie said,
Chapter 000 He has been sleeping with her.I know. I’m his mate.For now.I rejected Orion last week, but instead of getting my freedom, all I managed to do was pissing off the arrogant Alpha heir.He didn’t accept my rejection.He left our mate bond half severed and slept with her, knowing his be
Lilith’s POV“Orion, please, just accept my rejection,” My voice was very calm, unlike last time. I suddenly lost the urge to even argue, “For the sake of our past.”What a laughable clown did I make myself? I came to his pack, chirping around him about our “happy reunion”. I bore his mark proudly,
Lilith’s POV“Behave,”The Lady shot Orion a warning look, leaving the room to the two of us.The old Orion would grin and hug his mom like a clumsy bear whenever he crossed her. The new prince bowed lightly at The Lady with curved lips, as handsome as before. But with a shade of disapproval of her
