Se connecterDaniel's POV I leaned closer, my knuckles met Lila's wooden door softly.“Can I come in?”There was no response at first. I turned back, my gaze locked onto Marcus's. He nodded at me to knock again.I rested my knuckles on the door, my heart tightening it slightly as I waited for a while before knocking again.“Lila?” I called out again, this time my voice was louder than the former.I took a step backwards and waited for a response and after a few seconds I heard a weak voice come from inside.“You can.…come in.” Lila ushered.I pushed open the door gently and stepped into the room and the moment I entered, my eyes landed on Lila who lay on the bed. I froze in my tracks. Lila was almost born recognizable, as she searched on the bed, her head resting slightly against the headrest. A lot has changed about her, she looked pale and tired. Her face had lost its usual glow and her eyes looked dull like she hadn’t slept in days.What if she had not slept for days? All this is my fault.W
Daniel’s POV Today was the fourth day in the 7th month and as usual we were to hold a feast on the 20th day in solidarity with thanking the moon goddess for giving us a pack that flourishes which goodness Justice and progress.“The feast is approaching real quick and I was thinking we should make Elena Luna official on this day because the elders are beginning to suspect that we won't give her the position.” Marcus suggested, his head buried into a newspaper between his hands. “What are you talking about? That's a very bad idea. If she becomes Luna she would commit a lot of atrocities towards Lila and most especially reclaiming the Luna title later on would be hard. We don't have to do this Marcus. Believe me.Marcus slowly lowered the newspaper and looked at me with a calm but serious expression.“definitely a food for thought but I can assure you that nothing can happen and will happen to leader under our watch. will be we will make sure to protect her. Right now you are thinking
Lila's POV I kept running after Daniel as he walked towards the grand hall after instructing a guard to fetch Claire. I had caused all this and there was no way I was going to let me fire Lila for something she didn't do.“Please…Daniel. Listen to me. I made myself do this. Claire begged me not to but I just wanted to do it myself.’Daniel did not slow down. His long steps made it hard for me to keep up with him, but I forced my tired legs to move faster. There was no way I was going to let him fire Claire for something she begged me not to.“please Daniel listen to me.” I said again, my voice shaking. “you have to at least let me explain what happened. Claire did nothing wrong. You have to listen to me and believe me. She even tried to stop me. I was the one who insisted.”He still did not stop walking and my chest tightened with panic.“why aren't you even paying attention to what I'm saying? You can't fire her. If you fire her because of me, that would be very unfair,” I continu
Lila's POV “ I know all you want to do is cause trouble, Elena but I ain't give you what you want. Respectfully turn around and let me do my laundry in peace.” I urged, my gaze burning through her.“No! What are you gonna do about it if I refuse to leave? How are you ordering me to leave? I am the Luna of this pack and everywhere belongs to me automatically so you should be the one leaving and I should be the one ordering you to leave not the other way around.” she persisted. stared at her for a few seconds, trying my best to control the anger rising inside my chest. I didn't want to fall for the trap she had set because it was evident and clear that Elena came here just to provoke me and make me lose my mind.I turned back to what I was doing, slowly picked up a shirt from the basket and dipped it inside the water.“For the seven heavens, I don't really care about your opinions at all. You can call yourself whatever you want to call yourself Elena but everyone in this part knows th
Lila's POV “No Milady. You don't have to do that. I can get the laundry out myself.”Claire insisted while trying to snatch the basket of dirty clothes from my hand.“You've been busy all day, Claire. Let me do it. Before my parent's death I wasn't doing chores but after their death, my brother made me smell hell by making me do all kinds of stuff. Trust me I can handle this.”Claire still looked worried as she watched me hold the basket.“Milady, please… this is not right. You know you are pregnant and you don't have to do labor for the sake of yourself and the baby. If the Alphas find out that you are doing chores, I might get punished and I genuinely don't want you to be stressed.” she said nervously.I shook my head lightly and gave her a small smile.“You worry too much, Claire. If they should see me during the laundry, I'll tell them I choose to do it myself. But I can assure you that they won't catch me during the laundry. Even if they do, they will not punish you, Claire. I'l
Lila's POV “Don't you raise your voice at me, Daniel. You have no right to tell me to keep quiet.” I uttered, my breath shaking.“Why are you overreacting and you cannot tell me to not talk to you because I am the Alpha of this pack and I can talk to you so ever I want to talk to. You are going to sit down while we have a conversation whether do you like it or not”I expected Daniel to talk to me calmly but his words made something inside me burn with hatred.I stood up slowly from the bed, my hand shaking as it lightlyclenched by my side as I refused to let my weakness reveal itself in front of him.“Really? Is that your excuse? How can you say something like that? Huh? No one is disputing the fact that you are the Alpha.” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “Just because you are the Alpha does not mean you can treat me like I am nothing. I might not meet the elders' standards but that doesn't make me less human.”Daniel’s jaw tightened as he stared at me.I've been holding b
