MasukAuthor's POVFor the past three months, Evander had not woken up from coma. Not even once had he opened his eyes or moved any part of his body. But then Lilith knew better than to give up. Every day, she would go to his hospital room to check up on him, read him books, discuss some of their happy memories with him, tell him everything that had been going on in the pack like he was just there—hale and hearty—listening to her chatters.Sometimes, she broke down too, confessing how the past few months had been. She would let him know nothing remained the same without him. Every night, she would cry herself to bed, praying that the Moon Goddess would wake her husband and in the morning, she would console herself, smile and keep pushing. It was the only thing she could do after all.Today, she had come as usual. The nurses chorused greetings to her like they usually did every day she came around. She had responded to every greeting cheerfully, waving her hand, then instructed the guards to
Author's POVAldrich stepped into Lilith's VIP hospital room, the pungent smell of disinfectant hit his nostrils sharply and that made his stomach churn with unease. He hated the hospital and had always hoped that there wouldn't be any reason why he would have to come here.When his eyes landed on Lilith who was lying on the bed, heavily bandaged but alive, his chest twisted with pain.“Aldrich,” she murmured, her voice was barely audible due to the bandage wrapped around her neck, tears streaming down her cheeks. Waves after waves.Lilith regretted everything. Right from the moment that she had received that phone call during breakfast that morning to that moment. She wished she had done many things differently, but now, it was already too late. Regret and guilt were of no use anymore, especially since the man she loved was battling for his life because of her.Instinctively, she tried to sit up but Aldrich quickly closed the distance between them and held her down. “Stay back,” he s
Aldrich's POV “Someone should get Evander for me,” I called out to the guards which I knew would be flanking by the door. “Right away, Alpha,” a voice replied, then followed by the sound of sharp retreating footsteps. I continued looking through the file of the contract. Evander had executed all the road construction and it had been commissioned by the werewolf board. He really did a good job while I had been emotionally unavailable these past few months and I thought I needed to praise him for it and maybe get him a gift too. I had no idea what to gift him though. I grabbed my phone and dialed the car showroom in the kingdom. “Yes, Alpha Aldrich,” a smooth professional voice came over the phone. “How may I be of help to you today?” “I want to order a car. Your latest Porsche. Have it delivered here to the palace in less than twenty minutes.” “Alright, Alpha.” The call ended. Evander had zero interest in material things. I knew the car wouldn't even impress him too mu
Lilith's POV“You know Aldrich would get angry if he learned of this, right?” My husband said as the car GPS beeped to signal that we had gotten to the Obsidian Claw pack. He turned off the engine and unfastened his seat belt.“I know he would,” I replied, my concentration wasn't really on him, nor did I care about his words.I was staring out of the window, my eyes scanning the small pack that was surrounded by landscapes and mountains. There was a dark cloud hanging in the atmosphere and the breeze blew hard, carrying soil and debris onto my face. I quickly pulled my head back into the car and wound up the glass.I finally faced him. “But I don't care. I need to bring Mara back. She is carrying his heir, so there must be a reason why she left other than what he believed.”He gripped my hands. “I know, but I don't just want his trouble. You know how overly irritated he has been lately.”“Yeah…” I removed one of my hands from his, cupping his cheeks gently. “His rage and troubles don'
Mara's POV“Where are you going, Miss?”I froze, squeezing the side of my dress tightly to calm the fear riding fast inside me. I turned with a graceful smile on my lips to see the one who had claimed to love at first sight standing there, his cigar between his lips and a glass of wine in his hands.“Oh… I just wanted to get something outside,” I said smoothly, hoping my voice didn’t give me away. “You can keep having fun. I will be back before you know it.”He did not seem convinced, but he didn’t need to be. So, I quickly turned and started walking out of the room before another voice stopped me.“Going somewhere?” he repeated. “But why does it look like you're running off instead?”“Running off?” I let out a humourless laugh. “Running away from my bar? How is that even possible?”They exchanged glances with each other, and even when I tried to read their minds, I couldn’t because they weren’t staring at me directly. They were whispering amongst themselves.“Well… I’m afraid you can
Mara's POV“About me?” I asked in a mix of confusion and disbelief.“Yes. They showed me your picture, asked when you came here, and even asked if you were pregnant. I had given them wrong information. I told them I did not recognize you because I thought you wouldn't be coming in by this time of the day.”Yeah, I usually didn't come to the club house by this time, but I wanted to keep my eyes on things myself because I realized one of the waitresses or both had been stealing from me. And again, I wanted to restock the drinks we didn't have.My jaw dropped in shock.The fact that they were drinking this early was already suspicious, so why would they be snooping around and asking questions about me?I managed a reassuring smile at her. “I will handle it, okay?”I attempted to walk past her, but she held me back. “Where are you going?” she asked, her voice thick with fear.“I will go confront them,” I answered.“You shouldn't, boss. These men might be dangerous and there are four of th
Mara’s POV“What did you think can be done about my powers?” I asked as we ate breakfast at the dining table. “I don’t think it is going to go away anytime soon. It will keep reoccurring, and I’m afraid that I might really hurt someone someday.”It wasn’t going to go away anytime soon. I could feel
Mara’s POV “I think my brother is actually falling for you.” After I had narrated everything that happened that night to her, she had been so surprised to learn that he had actually marked me. She even checked my marked neck and realised that he did not graze his fangs against my skin. He had sun
Aldrich’s POVEvander scoffed. “You are so terrible at understanding women, Aldrich. If a woman says she wants to be alone, then what it truly means is that you should never let her go.”My brows furrowed in confusion. “Why wouldn’t she say that I shouldn’t let her go if that was what she truly wan
Mara’s POVMia stopped in front of us and sneered. “You made a beautiful bride, sister.”The air ripped from my lungs as I stared at her for a long moment, struggling to wrap my head around it all—her dress, her makeup, her hair, and the fact that she was here on my wedding day, walking around like
