"You are just like others."Delilah was bewildered by what he was saying. He left the kitchen and was about to leave the house."W-What?" She stuttered as she came out of the kitchen while following him.He stopped and turned around. He took a step forward towards her. She took a step backward seeing that."Didn't you ask me not to come near you?" He asked. His steps never halted.Her back pressed against a wall. She turned her head and saw the wall behind her. The moment she turned back her head she gasped.Everett had already come close to her. "I have come near you. Now, what will you do about it, huh?"She was speechless. She was afraid to look at him as she looked at his chest.She frowned when she saw scratches there too. She heard him say, "You wanted to escape, didn't you?"Her eyes widened upon hearing that. 'How did he know? Did Conor tell him everything that she told him?' She thought.He let her answer. But she looked like a scared kitten in front of the big bad wolf.
Delilah opened the cabinet and took out one of the gowns she bought a few weeks ago from the village market.It was a purple colored simple long dress. She never wore colorful dresses after coming here. But since they were going to the Royal Palace, she should dress up well.She went downstairs and saw Everett talking with the old man."I believe she will be fine." Everett said. He glanced at the staircase and looked at her.Delilah looked away from him and strolled towards him."I am ready, let's go." Delilah said and stood beside Everett."Please."The old man said and signaled them with his right hand to the carriage outside.Delilah got up to the carriage. Everett also got up and sat opposite her.The carriage looked bigger from the outside, but inside, it was a small space. They were sitting very close to each other. Everett's knees slightly brushed her knees when the carriage started to move forward.Delilah ignored the touch and looked outside from the window.The fresh wind
Delilah slowly turned her head to Everett and whispered,"Prince?"She could not believe her ear. 'He is a prince? A prince of this kingdom? No, no. How can it be possible? He lives in the forest. If he is a prince, then what was he doing in the forest when he had the kingdom?'She saw Everett looking at the man with his dark eyes. Then the man raised and cleared his throat. Then asked,"Did you have to face any problems while coming here?" Everett looked away and shook his head. The man nodded but then his eyes fell on Delilah."Who is she?" He asked Everett.Delilah immediately lowered her head. Before Everett could speak, she heard another voice."Everett, my son."Delilah raised her head and saw a woman in a royal gown coming down the stairs. She looked gorgeous and her appearance was telling that she was someone powerful there.Delilah did not need to think about her. The crown on her head was telling her that she was the queen.The queen came down and walked to Everett.She
"Have you ever seen his wolf?"Delilah parted her lips but then zipped them immediately. She looked away from her.Everett's grandmother looked at Delilah with a pair of doubtful eyes. "Is your silence telling the answer? Is it yes?"Delilah lowered her head and nodded slightly.She heard a gasp. She looked at Everett's grandmother and saw her wide eyes."H-He l-let you see his w-wolf?" Grandmother stuttered, kind of asking lowly as if someone would listen to her.Delilah stared at grandmother and thought about how to answer her. Should she tell her the truth?She shook her head when her mind reminded her of Everett's angry look. He would not like that for sure."There was a situation when I saw his wolf." Delilah replied to her.Grandmother's eyes became teary, her face turned bright."Come here, my child. Come to grandma."Delilah slowly went to sat beside her.Grandma patted her head and said,"You don't know how big the matter is."Delilah was confused. "What do you mean, grandma?
"Everett, Tell me the truth. Do you like her?"Grandma scanned Everett's expression. Like burning in fire, he looked furious."If you don't, then how come you let her stay with you? You even showed her your wolf? Whoever had seen your wolf never came back alive. Then what is so special about her that made you change your mind?""You are talking too much, old woman. Did you forget who I am? Or are you confusing me with your other grandson?"Everett's cold voice echoed throughout the whole room. Grandma chuckled. "Silly boy. Who are you? Who do you think of yourself?""Beast."Grandma shook her head. "Stop calling yourself a beast. You are just a different rank from others, not a beast.""Why? Didn't others call your son the same? A beast?"Grandma looked away from him. A tear rolled down her cheek. "You are still thinking about him?""Do you want me to forget him?"Grandma shook her head and wiped her tears. Her hand grabbed Everett's attention. A few blood clots were visible in her s
"She will sit here with me because she is my woman."Delilah looked at Everett with wonder in her eyes. 'Did he just call me his woman?' She thought and stared at him."H-How can you say that, E-Everett?" The queen asked him with a shaken tone. Delilah guessed that they had never seen Everett's this look before. 'How could they see? He only came here for his grandma after years. They don't look close to their son.' Delilah gulped when the queen glared at her."Calm down, Everett. She is your mother, you can not talk to her like that in front of a low key girl."Everett growled which almost shook the whole table. Delilah touched his arm and tugged it. "Just leave it. I can eat later."He turned his head to her. "Did I tell you to speak?"She shook her head and glanced at grandma. She saw grandma staring at Everett with a smile on her lips. She turned her eyes to Delilah. Delilah begged her with her eyes to control the situation."Everett, calm down, my child. Delilah is your wom
When Delilah woke up, it was early morning. She sat up and yawned. She looked beside her. "As usual, an empty bed."She sighed and got out of bed. She strode to the bathroom but saw a beautiful bottle green colored dress on the couch.She headed to the couch and touched it. "Who put this dress here?"She thought for a moment then realized that grandma sent it. Because she told them that she had arranged everything for them.She took the dress and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she wore the dress.She went out and looked at herself in the big mirror. She looked like someone else. How could beautiful clothes change someone like this?"People said right. An appearance can change the whole person. But what about their hearts? Valueless?"She asked herself. Then she combed her hair nicely. She had never worn a pretty dress like that before. She liked it.She came out of the room and walked to grandma's room. She saw a middle-aged man checking on grandma. She understood t
"Then why don't you get a mate for yourself?"Delilah looked at Everett to hear his answer. Was it possible? Would he ever mark her as his mate?Everett scoffed at Maverick. "Why are you always so curious about me? If you are so interested, then come to my forest at once. I will answer you at that time."He paused and glanced at the king and queen."One more thing, I am just trying to keep myself calm for that old lady. So don't force me to get back to myself. Otherwise, those rumors about the beast are not false. A man who can kill his own mate can kill you too."Others looked stunned by his words. Maverick glared at him."The day you try to attack my family, your head will be in my hand, beast." Maverick gritted."Maverick!"Amanda yelled at her grandson.Everett laughed and replied to Maverick. "Will see."Everett glanced at his grandmother the last time and then left the royal palace while grabbing Delilah's hand.Delilah kept staring at Everett.'Why did his brother just say suc
