Lillian's POV

I spent the entire night trying to convince myself that I had imagined the voice.

It was the only explanation that made sense.

Plants didn't speak. They certainly didn't whisper strange words into people's minds.

Whatever I had heard had to be a trick of my imagination.

By morning, I had almost convinced myself of that. Well… almost.

When I returned to the Sacred Conservatory, I tried to focus on my work. I didn't mention what had happened to Alia, and I certainly didn't mention i

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 24: Stay Away From My Son

    Lillian's POVMy first few days at the Sacred Conservatory passed more peacefully than I had expected. For the first time since arriving in the Arrowfang Pack, I had something that made the hours feel meaningful. I was still learning, and there were plenty of things I did not understand, but I enjoyed being surrounded by plants and flowers. I could spend hours reading about herbs, examining their leaves, and listening to the botanists explain how they were used for medicine.Nobody there cared about how much I weighed.Nobody watched what I ate.Nobody told me that I was wasting my life because I had gained another pound.It was such a simple thing, yet it felt strange to me.That afternoon, I was helping organize a collection of medicinal herbs when I noticed a familiar little face standing near the entrance.I immediately recognized him.Adrian.He was the little boy I had found outside my apartment days earlier, the one who had been poisoned by the vine. I had been so frightened th

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 23: Fate?

    Hayes's POVI sat behind my desk, staring at the report Alia had left for me. I had already read it several times, but the details still bothered me. According to her, the plant had reacted the moment Lillian touched it. It had remained dormant for years despite countless attempts by the botanists and healers to understand it, yet the moment her fingers came into contact with its leaves, something had awakened. Alia had never witnessed anything like it, and neither had anyone else in the Sacred Conservatory.I leaned back in my chair and slowly rubbed my fingers against my temple. I had known from the beginning that there was something different about Lillian. I could not explain what had drawn my attention to her, and I certainly could not explain why my wolf had reacted differently to her. I had chosen her when everyone around me had insisted that she was unsuitable. She was wolfless, mateless, and physically weaker than the women the elders had wanted me to choose. Yet something in

Well… almost.When I returned to the Sacred Conservatory, I tried to focus on my work. I didn't mention what had happened to Alia, and I certainly didn't mention it to Mira.There was no reason to make everyone think I was strange. Besides, I had enough problems already.I was sorting a collection of medicinal herbs when Mira approached me."You've been quiet."I looked up. "Have I?""Yes." She sat beside me. "Did something happen yesterday?"I hesitated. "No, nothing."Her eyes narrowed. "You're a terrible liar."I laughed softly. "I'm just tired."She studied me for a moment before letting it go. "Alright."I was grateful she didn't push.I returned to

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 21: Recognition

    Lillian's POVFor the first time since arriving at Arrowfang Pack, I woke up with something to look forward to.I wasn't thinking about Alpha Hayes, my pregnancy, or whether I would survive the months ahead.I was thinking about flowers. The realization made me smile.When I arrived at the Sacred Conservatory, Alia was already waiting for me."You're early.""I couldn't sleep," I admitted.She smiled and handed me a notebook."Today, you'll help prepare herbs for the healers."She led me into a preparation room filled with baskets of freshly collected plants."Sort them, record their names and prepare them for the medical wing. If you're unsure about anything, ask."I nodded and got to work. I recognized most of the herbs immediately. Then I noticed something wrong with a bundle of silverleaf."Why is this here?"A young man nearby looked over. "What's wrong with it?""Silverleaf shouldn't be stored here. It's too warm. The leaves will look fine, but they'll lose most of their medicin

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 20: Scared Conservatory

    Lillian's POVI still couldn't believe I was standing inside the Sacred Conservatory.I had seen large gardens before, at least in pictures and books, but this was nothing like them. The Conservatory stretched farther than I could see, divided by stone pathways and tall glass partitions. Flowers, herbs, vines, fruit trees, and plants I had never seen before filled every section.I kept looking around, afraid I'd miss something.Alia noticed and smiled. "You can take your time. Your first day isn't an examination.""I'm sorry. I've just never seen anything like this.""Most people haven't." She led me down a pathway."The Sacred Conservatory has existed for generations. Some plants were brought here by the previous Alpha's ancestors, while others were collected from distant territories. We have medicinal plants, poisonous species, rare flowers, ritual plants, and species found nowhere else.""Poisonous plants?""Quite a few."My thoughts immediately went to Andrian. "Is that where the

    I frowned. What was that? Had I imagined it? Unable to understand it, I pushed the thought aside."I'm..." My voice came out barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry." Neither of them spoke. I swallowed before continuing. "I know I wasn't supposed to leave my quarters. Please forgive me."Silence settled over the office.Then Alpha Hayes spoke. His deep voice was calm, almost curious. "Do you apologize to everyone before they've said a word?"I blinked. Slowly, I lifted my head just enough to glance at him. His icy blue eyes rested on me, unreadable as always."I..." I didn't know how to answer. "I just thought..."The words died before I could finish them. The healer's expression softened ever so slightly."Lillian," she said gently, "if you hadn't intervened when you did, the child wouldn't have survived."I stared at her. "...He survived?"She smiled and nodded. "The poison had already spread much farther than we would have liked, but the mixture you prepared slowed it enough for us to r
