MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 116: Sneaking around
LILA'S POVI had been standing beside Theo for what felt like hours and every few minutes, someone else came over to greet us or ask about the wedding, or tell me how good it was to see me back where I belonged. I smiled and answered them politely.Mrs. Renalds made it particularly difficult.She was seated with some of the elders, watching me over the rim of her glass with the same expression she'd had the last time she'd spoken to me. Her eyes travelled over my dress, then my face, and settled there for a few seconds before she looked away.I pretended not to notice, I had bigger problems.Selene.I needed to speak to her and tell her about what happened with the mark maybe she can explain it but every time I looked towards her, there seemed to be someone standing nearby and Theo's hand had not moved from my waist even for a momentThen, when I finally got a clear view, I saw Selene slipping through one of the side doors.I watched her for a moment to see Kai followed her a few seco
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 115: The Gala
LILA'S POVBy the time it was Friday, I was more than tired of being stuck inside.The dress Nanny Rosa had picked out was hanging in front of me, a deep wine colour that fell softly to the floor, and I stood in front of it with one earring in my hand while staring at my reflection.I should have been thinking about the gala.Instead, I was thinking about Theo's mark againI needed to talk to Kai.There had to be another way to prove it. Something besides staring at Theo's chest and wondering whether I had somehow lost my mind. If he really was the cursed Alpha, surely there was another way to confirm it.Theo wouldn't lie about something like that.Would he?I dropped my hand to my side, I was more than conflictedA knock sounded at my door.“Come in.”Theo stepped inside.He stopped when he saw me, he simply looked at me, and then a smile slowly spread across his face.“Wow.”I glanced down at myself.“Is it bad?”“Bad?” He let out a quiet laugh. “Lila, you look beautiful.”He walke
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 114: Locked In
LILA'S POVI didn't sleep much in the night every time I closed my eyes I kept on remembering the mark, it was definitely not there at first but when I pointed it out then it appeared out of nowhere I was tired of being inside without doing anythingAs much as I hate to admit it, I miss training with Nyx. It was good.I need to take a walk. I'll lose my mind from thinking, I slipped my shoes on and walked downstairs, already reaching for the door when one of the guards stepped in front of me.“Sorry, Miss Lila.”I stopped.“What?”“We were instructed not to let you leave the premises.”I stared at him.“By who?”He hesitated.“Theo.”I actually laughed because surely he'd misunderstood.“He told you not to let me leave?”“Yes, ma'am.”I looked past him at the open doors, then back at his face.“I'm not asking you to drive me somewhere. I'm just walking outside.”“I understand, but the instructions were clear.”This is ridiculous, I was about to start screaming when Nanny Rosa appeared
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 113: Doesn't Feel like home
LILA'S POV“What happened to your mark?”Theo's eyes moved over my face, and for a second he looked like he didn't understand what I was talking about. Then his gaze dropped to where I was staring.“My mark?”“The infinity mark.” I pointed towards his chest. “It was there before.”Theo looked down at his shirt, then he reached for the collar and pulled it aside, exposing the skin beneath it.I leaned closer.There was thereMy eyes moved over his chest again, at the dark infinity symbol he had showed me that day. “See?” Theo said quietly.I didn't answer, I was sure it was no there a moment agoHe let his shirt fall back into place. “Are you doubting me now?”“No.”“Then what the hell is this?”I looked at him.Theo's expression had changed, he was definitely more angry“What lies has Rowan been whispering in your ears?” he asked.“Nothing.”“Lila.”“He didn't say anything about you.”Theo watched me for a moment.I rubbed my fingers together, suddenly wishing I hadn't asked.Maybe I
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,

☆☆ LILA ☆☆ I stayed upstairs for a long time, watching people move around like busy ants through the window. Even though I was away from all the bubbling and preparations, I could still feel the weight of their excitement pressing against me. After a while, I couldn’t take it anymore. I grabbed

☆☆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.
