INICIAR SESIÓNLilith's POV
“Please, my Lady, I really don’t want to go...”
I tried to appeal the third time when the Lady was finishing tying the complicated strings of the fancy dress on my back.
It was a short bubble skirt. The neckline plunged low, and there was hardly any fabric in the back — just a long strap crisscrossing into an intricate bow. The puffy shoulders dug into the arms, and the hem stopped right at mid
Lilith's POVNothing attracts bullies like showing your weakness.My apology surprised not only Orion, but also Dominic and the gang. Even Hannah. They all looked over with taunt in their eyes and smirks on their lips, waiting for me to shame myself and be the joke they had waited for long in their dull days.Showering in their stares I continued, “I’m sorry I held on to your mark, but now I see my mistake. Please, sever our bond. I will accept now.”Orion’s face drained white.The circle fell into absolute silence. A jerk somewhere, I assume Dominic by the sound of it, let out a stupid laughter, only to hold it back when no one else joined.Maybe I didn’t know them pack wolves too well, but I guess a poor girl not being a gold digger was way beyond what their little brain could comprehend. Otherwise why my words could shock them
Grant’s POVKeeping an eye on her was my mission, but I was doing so partially because she was able to bring some humanity out of Knox.He needed that.I couldn’t begin to imagine that such a girl raised without education or manners would ever have any connection with a prince who grew up locked in his palace like Knox himself, but just spent a few moments with her, and I began to understand why she was special.It was her eyes. They were clean like crystal.In my years of serving a scheming master, by that I meant Knox, I have seen my share of people, and none of their eyes was this clean. The rich have arrogance in theirs, and the poor have greed; the powerful have ambition in their eyes, and the low levels have sarcasm.She has none of those. She was poor, but she looked content. She was of a low rank, but she was nothing but confident yet not
Grant's POVKnox Hawthorne was not a gentle person.I grew up with him. My father was his father’s beta, and I was assigned to be his tail ever since I was five. I was delayed for primary school for a whole year, just so I could be his classmate. I was told to follow him everywhere, and I took care of his every command myself. If Knox was named the Alpha’s heir at his birth, I was named Knox’s beta the day I turned five.That day, my dad took me to the Alpha’s house for the first time, and introduced me to my “little master”. And I had been serving Knox ever since.He was a sullen little prince when I first met him. Then, I watched him learn to hide that scary side with a smile, just because “people like that”. Not because he turned soft.I was raised to be brave by a beta father, but I was scared the first time I saw his cold eyes.
Lilith's POVThe party was in a fever pitch already.Every face came from some big family in the pack. Sons and daughters of Betas and Gammas. I knew almost all the faces, mostly because nobodies wouldn’t be invited.None but me.People stared when I walked in, and I kept my eyes at their chest level, pretending not to see their weird stares. At that moment, I began to understand why Orion wouldn’t want to be seen with me.No one would want to shower in such pure hostility. Not even for their mates.Just find Orion. Let him know that I came, and then maybe I could escape before anyone noticed. I mean, why would anyone notice a nobody like me, with no rank nor a powerful family behind me?“She really came!” A girl suddenly burst into laughter when I passed her, shouting with her finger pointed at me, “Hannah,
Lilith's POV“Please, my Lady, I really don’t want to go...”I tried to appeal the third time when the Lady was finishing tying the complicated strings of the fancy dress on my back.It was a short bubble skirt. The neckline plunged low, and there was hardly any fabric in the back — just a long strap crisscrossing into an intricate bow. The puffy shoulders dug into the arms, and the hem stopped right at mid‑thigh, chafing the skin uncomfortably.I didn’t like the style.I was never raised a princess, nor even a “proper lady”. I was raised wild, running in the woods with Orion and fighting the drunks in little pubs. I didn’t feel like I was left behind when Mama Beth took me home. I didn’t feel like I was left behind when she took Orion to the pack three years ago.But now I did.I felt
Lilith's POV“My Lady, you asked for me,” I bowed when I entered the guest room where the Lady was waiting for me. The other night with Orion helped a lot with addressing the Lady by the wrong name.That night was like a constant reminder that I wasn’t at home anymore.“Come on in,” The Lady smiled, her eyes not on me, but on the shelves of clothes in front of her. In her hands held a complicated-looking dress, “Jonathan just sent these over. I thought we could pick one for you, too. For the feast tomorrow.”Jonathan Hawthorne, Alpha of the pack.Nothing could make the Lady as happy like this as she talked about her beloved mate. It was hard for me to share her happiness because I hated the Alpha who tricked his mate into bed when he had already forfeited his fated mate by marrying another.Though he made the Lady suffer for years. Though he still wouldn’t give the Lady the title she was born to have. The Lady was still so happy at anything he would send over.Such was the power of th
Lilith’s POVI almost ran.I didn’t think a guard could check my lie so easily with a Beta, but if he was mind-linking Grant, then he would definitely arrest me-- I didn’t know all the pack laws, but “lying your way into the Alpha House” definitely violated some of them.But I couldn’t. I couldn’t
Lilith’s POVBeta Grant’s words puffed Hannah up like a blowfish. She stormed away, only to halt and wheel around, her tone stiff with restrained anger, “Orion, aren’t you coming?!”Orion hesitated, lifting his foot.Out of an evil urge, I just wanted to go against her at the moment: “Orion, you pr
Lilith’s POVLooking at his smily face, I wasn’t sure if I could trust him.I mean, yes, I was grateful that he saved me from the storm. Lycoris’s nose was never wrong so it had to be him. Also, he just stepped up for me. I ought to trust him.But I had never seen him before.Not the kind like, ano
Lilith’s POVAs much as I understood that he was no longer the Orion I knew, I couldn’t bear watching this familiar face say such cruel words as if he were merely a stranger to me.“Apologize,” Orion led Hannah to his side with a hand on her waist, his voice stern and stone cold, “...if your attitu
