ログインLila’s POV It started in the middle of the night. I wasn't expecting it to happen to me but it did. I was sleeping when a strong pain woke me up. The pain was so strong that I had to clench my teeth. It hit my belly so hard and fast that I sat up immediately and held, my heart racing wildly. I held the sheets, sweat dripping down my face. I looked around the room. It was quiet and dark. The pain came again, tighter this time. I almost screamed.I knew what it meant. Suddenly the bed I lay in was wet. I realized that my water just broke and that meant that the baby was coming tonight.I took a deep breath, just like the doctor told me. Then another. My hands were shaking, but I tried to calm myself. I knew I had to stay calm. You know how to overcome this.“You can do this, Lila,” I whispered to myself and took in a breath.With the little strength I have in may, I got out of the bed slowly and walked to Marcus’s room. I knocked on his door.Once.Twice.Three times.I knew that Mar
Lila's POVThe day of Elena's verdict came on a Tuesday.I remember because the sky was very blue that morning. No clouds. Just big open blue sky that went on and on. I stood by my window and looked at it for a long time before I got dressed.Today was the day it all ended.Not just for Elena. But for me too. For everything she put me through. Every tear. Every hard day. Every moment I spent alone and cold and wondering what I had done wrong.Today all of that got to be finished.I got dressed slowly. I picked a simple dress. Nothing too fancy. I didn't need to dress up to make a point. I already knew who I was. I didn't need big clothes to remind anyone.Maria came in to help me with my hair. She was quiet and gentle and hummed a little song under her breath while she worked. I liked that. It kept the room from feeling too heavy."You okay?" she asked softly when she was done."Yes," I said. And I meant it. "I really am."Marcus came to walk me down.He knocked on my door and came in
Lila's POVToday was coronation day. I woke up like every one else. The morning sun was filtering through the curtains, soft and warm on my face. I stretched, yawning loudly. I did feel sore like I had felt last night. I felt much better. For a moment, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, my palm caressed my baby bump in a steady circular motion. I did not move. I just breathed in and out slowly. IToday was supposed to be a big day. The day the elders would finally accept me as the true and permanent Luna. This day I would officially be Marcus and Daniel’s wife. The day everything I suffered would finally be closed. The day I would earn everyone's respect wether they wanted to or not. The day my name would no longer be questioned and my authority would be respected.But my heart did not feel loud or my heart racing like I expected it to. It felt calm. I felt calm like I wasn't bothered. I was supposed to feel happy but I wasn't. I was touched. I touched my neck, making sure my t
Lila's POVThe morning was soft and quiet.No loud noises and no one was running down the hallway. Just gentle light coming slowly through the window like it had nowhere important to be. II woke up before anyone else.That happens a lot these days. My time of delivery was fast approaching. I knew this because I could feel it.I looked around my room.It was just me and the quiet morning and the soft smell of lavender coming from the flowers near the window. Marcus and Daniel each have their own rooms. Unlike how it was before when they shared a large room. I had expected they would separate and now, they live on either side of me. One door on my left. One door on my right. Both doors were closed but I knew they would be awake soon.That thought alone made me feel safe. I knew they would do anything for me and the baby.I put my hand on my belly. The baby gave a tiny little kick. Soft and small. Like a quiet good morning."Good morning to you too," I whispered and smiled.A little wh
Lila's POVI stayed in bed like I promised.That was already hard enough for me.I am not the kind of person who likes to just lie down and do nothing. I like to move. I like to be in the middle of things. I like to know what is happening and who is doing what and why. Staying still feels like punishment to me.But I had made a promise. And I keep my promises.So I lay there, staring at the white ceiling above me, my hand resting gently on my round belly. The baby moved a little. Just a small nudge. Like a tiny foot pushing against the inside of my stomach, saying hello.I smiled."Hello to you too," I whispered softly.Nobody was in the room right then. Marcus had gone to handle some pack business. Daniel had stepped out to talk to the guards. The maids had brought me food earlier and left quietly after making sure I had everything I needed.It was just me and the baby.And the quiet.I liked the quiet sometimes. Not always. But sometimes.I closed my eyes and just breathed. In. And
Lila's POV The last thing I remember was asking Marcus to pass the salt before I blacked out.Everything went dark too quickly. This feeling was quite strange and I have never felt it before and this made me wonder if he had something to do with my curse being broken completely. All I could remember was, one second, I was at the table… the next, my body just gave up. I remembered hearing Daniels voice right nothingness swallowed me.…When I opened my eyes, I was back in my room. I saw white ceiling above me. White. Plain and boring.The soft scent of lavender filled the air. Soothing and energizing. I love the smell of lavender so much mI tried to move but my head hurt a little like when you hot it against a metal and you feel a wave of dizziness and pang wash over you.My body felt heavy and sorrm“Lila?”Marcus.I turned slightly and saw him sitting beside me, his hand wrapped around mine tightly. He kissed my hands, smiling at me. His expression between a feeling of sadness and
Lila's POV “What are you double here?” Daniel asked again falling in line beside me. I didn’t respond immediately. I kept my eyes on the target board, blocking out everything else. Slowly, I pulled the string of the bow again, feeling tge tension rest heavily in my arms.“I'm training.” I uttere
Lila's POV The partying began. The 20 elders and a few other dignitaries including the alphas and I, were moved to a separate room to have a party while the rest of the pack celebrated in the Grand Hall.I was seated across from Daniel. Elena sat in between Alpha Marcus and Daniel. This was a bla
Lila's POV I walked into the grand Hall alongside Daniel. I wrapped my arm around his as we made our way to the seat reserved for us. Elena and Marcus were already seated, conversing in low tone. The moment Elena noticed I had walked in with my arm around Daniel, anger flashed in her eyes. She sto
Lila's POV.The sun had dipped over the horizon while I sat in the garden rating for Claire's arrival. Three guards were sent out earlier to fetch her and return her back to the pack. I shifted on the stone bench, my fingers nervously twisting the hem of my dress. This was my second time in the g
