MasukLilith's POV."Where are we going?" Valerie asked as Oliver and I led her towards the empty guestroom that is two rooms away from our room."It's late, you should sleep." Oliver was the one who could respond, because I was struggling to hold back my laughter.Valerie is a very smart ten years old, and there was no way she wouldn't suspect a thing, but Oliver was hellbent on us spending tonight together and he'll do anything to convince Valerie to sleep in a separate room. "But this isn't the direction to our room." Valerie pouted. I pressed my lips together, struggling so hard to hold my laughter."Yes, but your mom and I have so many important things to discuss tonight, and we wouldn't want to disturb your sleep, so we thought you should sleep in a separate room." Oliver struggled for words. "It's okay, I can listen to adult conversations, I don't mind." Valerie said. Oliver slowly turned towards me, then back to Valerie. "Princess, the conversation will take a long while, we wou
Lilith's POV.I immediately looked toward Oliver."Oliver, I swear to you..." "You better not be apologizing to me over nothing." Oliver cut in gently and I froze.The smile on Helena's face slowly faded.Oliver looked toward Adrian, then back at me."I don't have a problem with anyone showing my wife around."Helena's expression completely changed now. "But Oliver, she..." "I wasn't talking to you." Oliver cut her off immediately with a rigid tone and she immediately closed her mouth.Oliver turned back to me with a warm smile on his face. "I trust my wife.""If she says Adrian showed her around the city, then that is all I need to know."My eyes burned with tears because in a world where people had doubted me severally, accused me falsely, and believed the worst about me without even asking, Oliver would always stand up for me, he would always believe me in a heartbeat, without even asking, or demanding explanations, just simply trusting me. "You really believe me?" My voice cam
Lilith's POV. By the time Adrian's car pulled up in front of my house, it was already dark in the night. I leaned back against the seat for a moment, looking out through the window.What a day.My feet hurts, and my hair was no longer as neat as it had been when I left the house.I hadn't even realized how fast the day went by, but it was totally worth it. "We're here." Adrian whispered, parking the car and the engine went off. I turned toward him with a smile. "Thank you.""For what?" He raised a brow."For today."His lips slowly curved into a smile."You've already thanked me.""Yes, and I'm thanking you again.""Then you're welcome again."I couldn't help but laugh.He got out first, walking around the front of the car before opening my door, and I stepped out. My feet had barely touched the floor when the front door suddenly flew open and my eyes immediately snapped towards the direction, already knowing that Valerie must have been waiting around the corner, she must have so
Lilith's POV.The moment we arrived at the park, I couldn't stop staring. There were lights everywhere.Children running around, adults too surprisingly.People laughed so freely, the atmosphere entire was bubbly."What is this?" I turned to Adrian. "An amusement park.""I know what you called it.""Then what's confusing you?" He chuckled amusedly."Why is everything so... Bright?" "I think fun is probably the best description." He blurted, leading us father inside. I watched people climbing onto one of the enormous rides.Adrian gave me a knowing look and I shook my head immediately. "No.""You haven't even tried it.""I don't need to.""You'll like it, I promise you.""I won't.""You're a wolf, Lilith, why are you scared?""Being a wolf doesn't mean I enjoy being thrown into the sky."Adrian didn't give up, he eventually convinced me to try one of the smaller rides."Adrian!" I yelled as soon as I climbed in. "You'll be fine!" He laughed, standing beside me. "If I die, I'm ha
Lilith's POV.I looked down at the outfit I had chosen for my outing tour with Adrian.It wasn't anything extravagant, just something comfortable enough to spend the day outside in, yet nice enough that I wouldn't feel completely out of place.I adjusted my hair one last time before reaching for my bag."Mom?" I heard Valerie's voice behind me as I adjusted my dress.I turned around towards the direction of her voice.She was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching me with a curious expression."Yes baby?""Where are you going?"I couldn't help but chuckle, she's found different ways to ask me that same question for the past one hour. "I told you already Valerie, I'm going out with Adrian, you know him don't you? So there's no cause for alarm."She looked away without saying another word, and barely a second later, she turned towards me again."Won't daddy be angry?" She asked the question I should probably have expected."Why would he be angry?" I laughed softly. "Because you're g
Lilith's POV. I was sitting in the living room when I heard the front door open, I immediately looked up in expectation.For the past couple of hours, I had been trying to concentrate on anything other than wondering if Valerie was okay wherever she was, and whether she had eaten anything, she didn't eat the meal I brought for her before rushing out with Vicious. The moment I heard footsteps rushing through the hallway, however, I knew exactly who it was."Mom!"I barely had time to stand before Valerie came running into the room.She was beaming all smiles, absolutely beaming.It's been a few days since I last saw that amount of huge smile on her face.She threw herself straight into my arms, and I caught her, laughing as she wrapped both arms around my waist."Whoa, slow down princess!" I hugged her tightly."I missed you!""Oh, now you miss me? Last time I checked, you were barely speaking to me." I faked a frown. "I'm sorry mom, I was not happy then." She pouted so cutely. Oh m
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
Lilith's POV."Nora is such a beauty to behold, take a look at her dress, it must have cost a fortune," "She's such a little princess," I stood by the corner of our living room, listening to the group of girls drool over my sister; it was her birthday and of course, our father hosted the fanciest
Lilith's POV.For the first time since arriving at the mansion, I was doing something that allowed my thoughts to settle, even if only slightly.Cooking.Or more specifically, supervising.That was what Alpha Oliver had instructed me to do.At first, the responsibility had sounded almost ridiculous
Lilith's POV.The moment I stepped back into the mansion, the weight of everything that had happened pressed down on me all at once; the entire confrontation with father and the way I had walked out without looking back.It should have felt victorious, but instead… it just felt heavy.“Come.” Alpha
