LOGINLila's POV “I don't want those men back here again, Rowan. Make sure of that. The guards shouldn't let them in when next they come because I know they will. They are very persistent.”Rowan nodded slowly.“Noted ma'am. I'll put that into action immediately.”I heft a sign and run my fingers through my hair. The doctor had warned that I shouldn't stress myself but here I was being stressed by Marcus and Daniel who decided to pay me a visit unannounced.“If you don't mind me asking, who were these men? Who are they and why are they bothering you?”I hesitated. I didn't want to talk about them because talking about them would make me think more about them and that was a weak point. I wanted to tell Rowan not to worry about it but maybe he should know since he was now a part of my life, and played a big role in the upkeep of the pack.“Those men, they are the father of my child. The man who banished me from their pack after I was wrongly accused of treason and theft.”Rowan’s eyes wide
Marcus’ POV I knew this was a bad idea. I've always known that she wouldn't let us help her. What a stubborn lady she had become over the span of two months.” I lamented.Lila didn't even give us time to explain ourselves and why we were here to help and all she did was kick us like we weren't men of class.The guards let us outside and the heavy door shut behind us with a loud thud, the sound traveling and echoing in the empty hallway that stretched out before us. For a moment, no one said anything. The guards stood at a distance, watching us like we were criminals, even though we had done nothing wrong. They were probably expecting us to get going without having to stand and loiter in the corners. They exchanged looks between themselves and walked away, disappearing in the corner.I ran my hand through my hair and let out a long breath.“She’s getting worse,” I muttered. “You can see how fragile she looked. She's not getting any better and it's worse because she is pregnant and he
Lila's POV I rose from my throne, surprise etched on my face.“How did you know about that? Who told you? Have you been spying on me this whole time?”My voice came out sharper than I expected, echoing slightly across the hall. “Calm down, Lila. You don’t have to crash out. I’d willingly assure you that it is not a big deal.” Marcus said softly, lifting his hands a little like he was trying to settle a storm.I turned and looked at Daniel expecting him to be bossy as usual but Daniel just sighed, his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his expression unreadable.I looked away from him mad at myself that I was seeking his validation when I clearly shouldn't be. I didn't sit back on my throne because I couldn't. To know that they had been watching me all this while and never bothered to come to my aid when I needed them the most was surprising.My heart was beating too fast, almost like it would explode the next second.“Don't try to calm me down and tell me that it wasn't a big de
Lila's POV The Twin Alphas didn't like my humor of how loudly I laughed. They exchanged looks, clearly uncomfortable with my wild reaction.I noticed it. Of course I did. I had my unwavering gaze fixed on them. Nothing escapes me whenever I did. I observed their body language and immediately realized that they weren't expecting me to react that way.My laughter slowly faded but the smile stayed on my face. I sighed and I leaned back slightly in my chair, crossing my legs like I didn’t care. Of course I didn't. What care about what these monster think about my laughter when they threw me out and turned their eyes on me the period I needed them the most.“Is something wrong? Why are you both staring at me like that?” asked, tilting my head.Marcus folded his arm over his chest and cleared his throat nonchalantly.Why would you think something Is wrong? We should be asking you that, Lila.” he said carefully. “We made a comment and you laughed. Let's just say that I didn’t expect… that
Lila's POV Four days I still had it in my mind. The worry. The fear that slowly drained me mentally. I know I wasn't supposed to worry but I was slowly getting depressed, it's slowly worsened as the days went by. “Ma’am I'm sorry for interrupting but I have something very important to say.” Claire's voice sounded from outside the door interrupting me in my train of thoughts.“What is it, Claire?”I inquired as I stopped pacing around and sat by the edge of the bed.“Well….um…how do I say this? The alphas are here to see you. Alpha Marcus and Daniel.”This was a shock to my ear. What were they doing and why were they here? Why decide to show yourself in my pack uninvited and unannounced?“What!!!??”I yelled.“Yes, ma’am,” Claire said quickly as she stepped in. “They have been here for the past 20 minutes and I had initially told them to leave but they insisted on waiting for your return and that's why I'm here telling you right now that they are waiting in the Grand Hall. And from th
Lila's POV.“I know why you are here.” The Oracle said, her back at us. “ You came because your curse poses a threat to your life and the life of our future ruler.”I froze for a moment. I have totally forgotten the oracles had the powers to read minds and know exactly what you are thinking without having to ask you. All they had to do was chant a few spells and read your mind. Slowly, the Oracle turned to face us. Rowan and I had embarked on our journey alone because I needed him to mentally support me in case I wanted to do something stupid. I locked my gaze with that of the Oracle. Her eyes were calm. I knew that they held something strange knowing she could see into my problems. “So you already know,” I said, trying to steady my voice. “Then you also know how to stop it. You should know how to propose a solution to my problem. You are the oracle after all.”She tilted her head slightly, her hands hovering over a clay pot in a circle motion. “I can understand your frustration,
Daniel's POV “We need to look for a strategy because this is becoming prevalent in our daily life. Rebels raid the weakest part of the village burning down houses and there's absolutely no Intel until everything is over. Why is it like that?”I paced around, my index rested on my chin, thoughts wr
Lila's POV The door flung open as I had breakfast. Marcus walked in, his arms crossed behind his back, a calm expression on his face.I quickly stood up, letting my cutlery fall noisily on my plates.“Good morning Alpha.” I greeted.Marco slowly closed the door behind him before walking further in
Lila's POV I woke up feeling sore all over, my limbs stiff like I have been in one position for a year. Today was supposedly the first day of my grounding and I didn't think much about having a wonderful day.I slowly pushed myself up from the bed and winced as painting shot through my back and my
Marcus's POV We pushed open the door to Lila's room. She lay on the bed, her eyes wide open this time as she had her gaze fixed on us like she didn't know who we were or where she was.She looked so confused and her breathing was uneven. It was a slow and careful breathing like every breath she to
