MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 112: Back To The Moretti Mansion
LILA'S POVKai drove me back to the Moretti mansion without asking too many questions. I sank deeper into the passenger seat, watching the buildings pass through the window while Kai kept checking his phone at red lights.He typed something into his phone, I glanced at him but he didn't notice he was probably talking to Selene.The had some how gotten closerI looked away before he could catch me staring.When we finally pulled up at the mansion, I sat there for a second after he parked it looked exactly the way I remembered it, but something inside me didn't settle with it the way it used to.I got out anyway.Nanny Rosa was the first person I saw immediately when I entered. She was coming through the hallway with a basket of folded clothes when she stopped so suddenly that one of the shirts nearly slipped from her hands.“Lila?”I smiled.“Nanny.”She dropped the basket onto the nearest chair and hurried over, pulling me into a hug before stepping back to look at me properly.“Where
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 111: Going Back
LILA'S POVI stared at Mrs. Renalds, almost wishing she'd been anyone else, of all the people I could have run into outside a cinema, it had to be her.Her eyes moved over me slowly, taking in my clothes, my bag, probably the fact that I was standing outside the cinema casually. The corner of her mouth pulled down.”So this is where you've been."I swallowed. "Mrs. Renalds—""Don't." Her voice was sharp enough to stop me. "Not even a word, don't you dare stand there and pretend you don't know what you've done."I frowned. "I don't understand.""You ruined everything."She looked at me with the same bitterness I'd always heard whenever she spoke to me, she'd been waiting years for the moment when she could finally tell me exactly what she thought of me."You were supposed to marry Theo," she continued. "That was the least you could do after everything your existence has caused us and you couldn't even manage that.""I didn't leave mean to Theo at the altar, I was taken against my will,
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 110: The Cinema
LILA'S POV"Rowan?"I pushed his bedroom door open after knocking twice and getting no answer. "Are you in here?"The room was empty at least, I thought it was until I heard the shower running from the bathroom.Of course.I stepped inside anyway, calling his name again before shutting the door behind me. I hadn't actually been in his room properly since the first time I'd come here, sneaking around, and standing there now felt strangely different. Back then, I'd been looking through his things because I didn't trust him. I'd been convinced he was hiding something from me, and apparently I'd been right about that part, just not in the way I'd expected.I walked farther into the room, looking around, everything was very neat. His bed was made, his clothes were where they were supposed to be, and even the few things sitting on his desk looked like someone had measured the distance between them.I shook my head."You're so boring."I picked up a book from the nightstand, flipped through
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 109: She knows
LILA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up to the smell of food.For a second, I stayed under the covers, enjoying it, because the person that was cooking clearly knew what he was doing and, judging by the smell, it definitely wasn't me.I eventually dragged myself out of bed and followed the smell into the kitchen.Rowan was standing at the stove.He looked over his shoulder when I walked in, then turned back to whatever he was doing."You're awake.""Unfortunately."He laughed quietly.I walked over and leaned against the counter, watching him move around the kitchen. He had apparently decided that cooking for me was now part of his daily routine, which I wasn't complaining about, especially since everything he made somehow tasted better than anything I'd ever managed to make.I reached for a piece of something on the plate.He slapped my hand away."Wait.""I was hungry.""It's not ready."I gave up rubbing my arms. His eyes dropped to my hands."You're cold.""I'm fine.""Lila.""I'm

LILA'S POV"NO!"The word came out so loudly that everyone went silent and looked at me.Even Amy was looking at me weirdly.Then Sofia slowly turned her head toward me."Why?"My mouth opened but I couldn't say anythingSofia's eyes narrowed slightly."Why did you say that like she just announced she was marrying a murderer?""I—"Ivy looked between us. "Are you okay?""I'm fine.""You don't look fine.""I am fine."Sofia was still staring at me, and somehow that was worse than Ivy's questions."As her mother," she said carefully, "I'm obviously concerned too. She's five. I'm not exactly planning her wedding yet.""Exactly.""But your reaction..." She tilted her head. "That was a lot."I shifted on the couch."I just think Amy deserves someone sweet."Nyx snorted.I ignored her. "Someone nice," I continued. "Someone who isn't cold and that isn't... Rowan."Ivy burst out laughing."That's your reason?""Yes."Sofia looked unconvinced."Rowan is cold," I said quickly. "He's intimidatin
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 107: Unexpected Visitors
LILA'S POVI barely had time to pull away from Rowan before I heard the door bell ring We both froze as I stared at him before we could react the door bell rang again Rowan pulled his phone to check through the security cam and we saw Selene, and the rest of the girls standing outside the door I pushed Rowan away so quickly that he stumbled back with a laugh."Go."He raised an eyebrow. "Where?""Inside your room now."He laughed under his breath, but he headed toward his room anyway. I quickly wiped my mouth, ran my fingers through my hair, and tried to do something about the heat that had apparently settled across my entire face then another ring came"I'm coming!" I said to no one as I I opened the door.Ivy stood there with Sophia and Nyx behind her, Selene beside them, and "Amy!"The little girl immediately broke away from her mother and ran toward me.I crouched just in time to catch her."Oh my God, look at you!"She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I hugged her tightly,

☆☆LILA☆☆ After a week of Selene treating my leg, it was almost as good as new. The stitches were gone, and the pain had faded into nothing more than a dull ache whenever I walked too fast. Which meant there was absolutely no reason for me to still be here. Selene was packing up her medical supp

Nyx stood beside him, arms crossed, her expression cold. The moment she saw me enter, she stepped aside and nodded. Jake didn’t bother to move. Nyx wasn’t only my Beta she was also the best fighter in the pack. Jake slowly lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing uneven. “Alpha.
