Daniel's POV

Dinner was eaten in silence, Lila's head buried in her plate. She didn't want to look up at Marcus and I. The fear was evident on her face.

I watched her closely, tough fingers tapping against the table as she pretended to be enjoying dinner. Every little movement she made didn't escape me. I monitored her while eating or taking a sip of my water. I noticed the way her hands trembled slightly and the way she avoided our gaze.

  • Curse Of The Nine Tailed Luna   The Final Battle Before Birth

    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.

    Lila's POV “You'll have to apologize and will be taken back to the dungeon. By full moon well decide your fate.”Elena tried to stand, but the guards grabbed her arms, tightly pinning her to the floor.“No. You can’t do that. You don't have the right to administer a verdict. You have been banished and you have lost your right as a citizen of this Park and also your privilege of being the breeder of the Alphas. You can't command me to leave. I am Luna. Nothing has changed. You are a traitor. You should be the one getting kicked out of the pack and not me.”Her voice shook, but there was still that same pride in her eyes. That same stubborn fire that caused all this in the first place. She looked at me with so much hatred burning to her eyes. She flared her nose. Trying to wiggle free from the guards but they pinned her to the ground.I stared at her quietly, my face calm.“Can’t?” I repeated slowly. “You lost the right to say that the moment you chose to destroy me. You are not even t

    Lila's pov“What are you doing back here? You’ve been banished!” Elena ranted as she knelt before us in the grand hall. All the elders were present too, except Elder Taron who was in cuffs and kneeling beside Elena in shame.I stood still, my hands resting calmly in front of me while watching Elena display her madness in front of everyone. She wasn't being remorseful at all and at least begging for my forgiveness. Seeing her with so much pride and ego, fueled my resolve to make sure she paid for what she did to me. I ignored her. I looked around, my eyes taking in the hall which felt pretty much the same yet different in a way I couldn't explain. The interior designs remained the same despite being away for 3 months. This whole had seen me rise to power when I was brought before the elders for the first time as the breeder for the outers and it had also watched me fall when I was labeled a thief and banished from the pack. Now it would see me right again and watch me put my enemies

Maybe on my next run, someone whose more capable will tag along and run with me. You are killing my spirit.” I joked and ran round in a small circle. I knew she was too old to run around but she had insisted on following me. Scared that I might faint along the way and no one would be around to notice immediately.Mara let out a small breath, clearly trying to steady herself. “You call this slow? I'm trying my best, ma'am Lila. It's not easy for me. ” she muttered, placing a hand on her chest. “At this rate, I might collapse before breakfast.”I couldn’t help but smile a little. She sounded so mature and get sense of humor was peak.“It’s not my fault you’re out of shape,” I teased lightly, slowing down a bit mo

If you need anything, I’ll be right outside.” she was respectful and I didn't notice anything strange about her. This was my first time meeting her and I was sure she was new here. I nodded and watched her turboI turn around and disappear into the corner. I walked in and closed the door behind me.For a moment, I just stood there.
