LOGINLilith's POV.Valerie and I were halfway down the staircase when I noticed something was different.The mansion seemed to be a lot busier than other regular days, all the servants hurried around and I could hear distant voices coming from the dining hall."Mom? Do we have visitors?" Valerie turned towards me, seemingly noticing the atmosphere. I looked toward the dining hall. "I don't know."She squeezed my hand. "Maybe Grandpa invited everyone again.""Knowing him, that's very possible." I smiled.I held her hand and we continued to walk downstairs... The moment we stepped into the dining hall, I stopped, so did Valerie.It wasn't just Father and Helena waiting for us at the dining table, there were several elderly men and women seated around the table too.I immediately recognized some of them, they were the elders Father had introduced to me during my welcoming ball.The moment they saw me, their faces brightened."There she is, come in, child."I smiled nervously, looking from ea
Lilith's POV. The human world had been far kinder to me than I ever imagined; and seeing how happy Valerie was, it felt like a dream come true. I stood on the balcony outside my room, enjoying the cool morning breeze while looking over the enormous estate.Everything was peaceful, it all felt safe. I couldn't help but smile to myself; maybe this was what having a real family felt like.A gentle knock interrupted my thoughts."Come in."The maid stepped inside, bowing slightly. "My Lady, his Majesty would like to know if you'd accompany him this morning."I turned toward her. "For breakfast?""No." She shook her head. "He says he'd like to teach you how to play golf.""Golf?" I raised my brow at her. "Yes, he is already waiting outside.""I've never played golf before." I chuckled nervously. "He said he'd like to teach you."I couldn't stop smiling. "I'll be right there."...A few minutes later, I found Father standing beside a wide stretch of beautifully treamed grass.The mome
(Author's POV) Valerie sat cross-legged on the rug inside the bedroom she shared with her mother.She absentmindedly flipped through a picture book one of the maids had brought her earlier, but her attention wasn't really on the pages.Every now and then, she sighed.Lilith noticed immediately, looking up from the clothes she was folding and smiled."What is it?"Valerie looked over. "Hmm?""You've sighed at least five times in the last two minutes.""Have I?""You have."Valerie closed the book. "I was just thinking.""About what?"She hesitated briefly before sighing again."About Vicious."Lilith couldn't help smiling. "You two became good friends rather quickly."Valerie nodded eagerly. "He's really nice.. he doesn't laugh when I don't understand something, instead, he explains everything.""And he knows lots of interesting things."Lilith chuckled. "I noticed."Before Valerie could continue, a knock on the door interrupted her."Come in." Lilith answered.The door creaked open a
(author's POV)The ballroom buzzed with life as guests continued to celebrate Lilith and Valerie's return.King Vincent had taken Lilith from Adrian to introduce her to other friends, including respected leaders from various wolf clans that had settled in the human world. Meanwhile, Valerie stood quietly beside one of the windows, holding a small glass of fruit punch.She watched the adults dance with curious eyes.After a while of watching, she tried copying one of the dance steps with her feet; the attempt ended with her nearly stepping on the hem of her own dress."Oh..."She quickly caught herself before falling.She suddenly heard someone chuckle behind her. "I don't think that's how the dance goes."Valerie spun around immediately. Standing a few feet away was a boy slightly taller than her.He wore a fitted black suit that gave him the appearance of someone much older than his years; yet despite his serious clothes... He was smiling warmly at her. Valerie immediately felt h
Lilith's POV.I stared at my reflection for what felt like the hundredth time.The dress fit me perfectly, the shiny fabric flowed gently to the floor, while the embroidery shimmered shimmered whenever I moved beneath the lights of my room.I still couldn't believe it.Just a few years ago, I had owned barely enough clothes to fill a small chest, now I was standing inside the palace of the King of all werewolf clans, preparing to attend a grand welcoming ball held in my honor.Life truly had a strange way of surprising people."Mom!"Valerie's excited voice pulled me from my thoughts.I turned around to find her spinning around the room in her own dress.She wore a beautiful blue gown that reached just below her knees, with tiny silver flowers stitched across the skirt.She looked absolutely adorable."Look!" She twirled again. "My dress spins!"I couldn't hold back my laughter. "I can see that princess."She stopped spinning long enough to grin at me. "Do I look pretty?"I walked ov
Lilith's POV.The following morning, I was still admiring the beautiful gardens outside my bedroom window when a sudden knock sounded on the door."Come in."A maid stepped inside, bowing slightly. "My Lady, Her Majesty has asked that you and Miss Valerie get ready. She'll be taking you shopping for outfits for the welcoming ball.""Shopping?" I blinked in surprise."Yes, My Lady." The maid smiled warmly."His Majesty wishes for both of you to have the finest attire for the celebration."Before I could respond, Valerie practically bounced off the bed."We're going shopping?" She looked at me with eyes brighter than the morning sun."Mom! A real shopping mall?"I couldn't help laughing. "Looks like it."She clapped excitedly. "I've only seen one in books!"I smiled to myself.Neither had I, back in our pack, clothes were tailored and delivered, there had never been anything like a human shopping mall.An hour later, after we had both dressed in simple outfits, we made our way downsta
Lilith's POV.“You don’t need to go back there,” Alpha Oliver's voice snapped me out of my trance. “I’ll have everything you need brought here.”For a moment, I just stared at him.Because I didn’t understand how someone could say something like that so easily… as though cutting ties with everythin
Lilith's POV.I did not understand what was happening.Alpha Oliver did not let go of my hand, not even for a tiny second.The further we moved from my home and deeper into the pack, the more noticeable we'd become; People stared openly, their gazes flickering between him and me with obvious disapp
Lilith's POV.Another day, another hours of cleaning and scrubbing.I moved from the laundry to the floors, then to the furniture, wiping and scrubbing, making everything spotless in a house that had never once felt like home.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.I paused just for a moment.The
Lilith's POV.How did he get involved with those bad guys? And why did they want him dead? “Alpha Oliver" I called in a low voice.His body lay cold still.For a moment, fear gripped me so tightly I couldn’t move or think; I couldn’t do anything but stare at him in horror as the reality of the sit
