LOGINLilith's POV. The entire journey back to the mansion felt so unreal.One moment, I would glance down at my own hands, still unable to believe that they belonged to the same girl who had spent almost her entire life believing she was incomplete. The next, my fingers would drift to my eyes, remembering the way everyone at the clinic had stared at me when they turned silver.I had a wolf; I still couldn't believe it.Not just any wolf, the legendary silver bloodline.Even now, I could still hear the disbelief in her voice.I leaned my head lightly against Oliver's shoulder as we rode home together.He slipped one arm around me immediately. "Tired?""A little.""A little?" He chuckled."You've frightened the entire pack twice in one week. I think you're allowed to be more than a little tired."I laughed softly. "I suppose that's true."He kissed the top of my head. "I don't ever want you frightening me like that again."I tilted my head to look at him. "I didn't exactly plan it.""I know
Oliver's POV. I didn't know when exhaustion finally stole me. Perhaps it was only for a few moments, perhaps longer.My head rested against the edge of Lilith's bed, one of my hands still wrapped around hers exactly as it had been for the last three days.Even in sleep, I refused to let go.Suddenly, I felt something... Like a squeeze. A small weak squeeze.My eyes flew open.For a single heartbeat, I thought I was dreaming.I stared down at our joined hands.Her fingers... They had moved."No..." I whispered.My heart began pounding so violently I thought it might burst from my chest.Slowly... Very slowly... I lifted my gaze to her face."Lilith?"There was nothing.I held my breath, my heart beating impossibly faster than it ever had before. Then... Like an almost impossible dream, her eyelashes fluttered open. I shot to my feet so quickly the chair behind me crashed onto the floor."Lilith!"Her brows knitted together faintly, then those beautiful eyes fluttered open. For se
Oliver's POV. For three days... Three painfully long days...I had remained exactly where I was now.Sitting beside Lilith's bed, holding her hand.Waiting, praying and hoping.Anything.. anything that would bring her back to me.The room was totally quiet except for the crackling of the fireplace in the corner and the occasional footsteps of healers walking past the ward.I stared at her face.She looked peaceful, too peaceful.The healers had changed her clothes, they had combed her hair.They had even placed fresh flowers on the windowsill because they said the scent sometimes brought comfort to recovering wolves.Recovering; I hated that word now.There had been no recovery, not yet.Not after three endless days.I slowly rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb.It wasn't as warm as it used to be, that alone made my chest tighten."You know..." I whispered, my voice rough from exhaustion."I've been talking this whole time, I don't even know if you can hear me."A weak smile to
Oliver's POV.The world stopped.One moment, I was holding Lilith's hand, and the next... She was limp. "Lilith?" I roared; my voice barely sounded like my own.Her hand still rested in mine, completely motionless. I stared at her face desperately; but there was nothing. No smile, no teasing remark telling me I worried too much.No gentle squeeze of my fingers, there was only... stillness.I looked toward the chief healer, she wasn't speaking.The other healers had also fallen silent.Something inside me snapped instantly."What happened?" I roared, staring from each of them to the next. No one answered immediately."What happened?" I asked again, my voice rose higher.The chief healer slowly approached me."My Alpha...""What happened?" I repeated louder."Answer me!"She recoiled slightly, her fingers trembling."The birth is over."My eyes immediately searched the room.I could hear a baby's cry, our baby.A healer carefully wrapped the tiny child in a blanket, but I barely loo
Lilith's POV. My legs ached,And it wasn't the ordinary kind of ache that disappeared after a few minutes.This one had remained remained constant over the past several weeks, growing stronger with each passing day as my stomach grew heavier.Oliver, however much he cared about me, acted as though I was merely complaining to a stone, not human. "No."He shook his head rigidly, his fingers still wrapped securely around mine. "We're not stopping yet."I looked at him in disbelief."Oliver... I'm tired."His expression remained unmoved."You've barely taken ten steps."I stared at him in disbelief. "Ten? I've walked across half the palace!"He laughed."You've walked from the bedroom to the front garden, that's hardly half the palace.""I regret marrying you." I groaned dramatically.He gasped theatrically. "You wound me.""So you mean after I carried you around this entire mansion for weeks, fed you and bathed you, this is how you repay me?" Maybe that's the problem, Oliver had prac
Lilith's POV. I never thought saying goodbye to someone I had only just found would hurt this much; I watched as King Vincent's royal guards loaded the last of his belongings into the carriage that would take him back home.Oliver stood beside me, one hand resting gently on the small of my back while the other absentmindedly intertwined with my fingers.King Vincent turned toward me with a warm smile that already felt so familiar now."My daughter." I could never get used to him calling me that. "You're not leaving forever, are you?" I raised a brow at him teasingly and he chuckled."I'm certainly not."He stepped closer and gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face."I expect you to come and visit me.. I mean I've barely found you, I'm not about to lose you again."I nodded slightly. "I'll certainly visit." His eyes lit up. "Promise?""I promise.""When?"I turned to Oliver with a teasing smile."You should ask your overprotective son-in-law."Oliver immediately rai
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
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
