LOGINKane's povFunny how things can change in ways we don't expect. I look sideways at the woman sleeping in my arms. For years I've held my heart in a tight corner, locked away from the world. Yet, here she is, the woman who has managed to penetrate my walls. I continue patting her dark hair softly. The blanket covers only part of her body, granting me some nice views in the dimly lit room. I smile at the sight. Delilah is indeed beautiful. How did I never notice?"Finally, we've both come to an agreement," Alexander says within me and I smile. I caress her cheek and plant a kiss on her forehead before turning to leave the bed. Picking up my clothes, I quietly put them on and moved towards the door to leave the room. "Kane?" Delilah calls from behind me. I turn around, not expecting her to be awake since it's like two in the morning. She raises herself on the bed and holds the blanket in place on her chest. "You're leaving?" "I'm just going for a walk."She comes down from the bed
Delilah's POVGeneral Kane and I have gotten a lot closer since the war started. He runs his thumb over my cheek softly as we continue to kiss. His fingers trail down my neck in a teasing manner. I adjust myself on the bed, giving his hands more access to my chest. He pulls away, breaking the kiss and looking into my eyes to confirm if I really want him to continue. I nod in approval. "Your touch gives me strength, and I know you feel the same too," I tell him, sitting up. "With all the war and fighting you've been involved in, I want to take care of you." I pull my top over my head and my breasts dangle freely in front of him. He searches my eyes with his before dropping his gaze to my breasts. He swallows hard and there's a fire in his eyes as he looks up at me again. "Delilah," he says in a rich baritone that turns me on. "Less talking," I say, leaning in and hungrily claiming his lips and he circles his arms around me. His hands roam all over my bare back and his fingers find
Kane's POVI quickly lift Delilah off the ground and carry her to the house. Cecile opens her room for me to place Delilah on her bed. The nurse, Rosaline, comes to check if there's anything medically wrong with her. Rosaline inspects her body and checks her vitals. "She has a thready pulse. It took a lot of energy for her to transform and carry out all the activities she did. I'll come back with some medications for her." The nurse leaves and comes back later with the medication. We manage to give the medicine to Delilah while she's half awake before she returns to her slumber. When everyone else has gone, I sit by Delilah's bed quietly, hoping she will be alright. Somehow, I feel responsible for her safety. But she really needs to stop being reckless. The door opens softly and I turn around to see Nora walking in. "General Kane," she calls and comes to stand beside where I'm seated. "How is she holding up?" "Good. The nurse says she will be up by sunrise." Nora allows the sil
Kane's POVWhen I asked Nora and Ezekiel to stay back and cover for me at the pack, I was half expecting them to do otherwise. Seeing Ezekiel fighting off rogues some distance away doesn't surprise me at all. He's my beta after all, he is hard-wired to always stand beside me. I fight my way through the crowd of rogues and get into the house. The noise coming from the floor above quickly catches my attention. Moving up there, I hope the sound isn't coming from Cecile's room. Sadly it is. What I see in the room is far from anything I would've imagined. Nora is spraying some dust on Cecile, and her cousin, Lila, is standing aside, watching. But what interests me most is the white wolf standing there. She looks like the one I saw in the vision I once had when I tried entering Delilah's mind."General Kane," Nora turns to me. We both look at each other and are thinking the same thing. The white wolf must be Delilah. When I turn my attention back to her she sprints out of the room in a
Nora There's definitely no way into the building without fighting the rogues. They cover the entrances like it's their birthright. I look over at Ezekiel. From his expression, I know we're thinking the same thing."Come on, this way," I say and lead them around the house to a place I think is more accessible. The rogues don't notice our movement so we don't get any disruptions at first.On the back side of the house, the number of rogues is less than at the front."Okay, here's what we're going to do," Ezekiel says. "I will create a distraction and draw the rogues in my direction. Nora you'd take the girl in when the coast is clear enough.""Then I'll lead you to Delilah," the girl says."Yes. But what about you, Ezekiel?" I ask, a bit worried."I'll meet up with you guys later. Don't worry about me."He separates from both of us to start carrying out his part in the plan."Hey!" he shouts at the group of rogues in front of him. They turn around and immediately start growling vicious
DelilahBeads of sweat begin to form on my head. What have I gotten myself into? My heart beats fast, and I barely have a clue about how to manage the rogue coming towards me. Just when I think I've had enough, another rogue enters the room and even more troop in. In my state of distress, I still manage to look over at Cecile. She continues to groan in pain as her bones change form to accommodate that of a wolf. She meets my gaze but she's totally helpless in her state. We're cooked.My eyes catch sight of a long rod in the corner. The rogues continue to move toward me and I back away slowly towards it. When I get close to the rod, one makes its first advancement to attack me. I grab the rod immediately and smack it in the face. If I can't transform into my wolf form, I might as well use my wolf abilities while in my human form. The wolf comes at me again, and I poke it strongly in the neck, temporarily obstructing its airwa
