MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 124: 24 hours
LILA'S POV"Lila? Lila, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Selene’s voice was frantic on the other end.I squeezed my eyes shut, pressing my phone tighter against my ear as I tried to force air into my lungs. “He has Kai," I choked out. "Theo put Kai in the dungeon.""What?" She gasped out"He's accusing him of treason," I said, wiping my face with the back of my hand. "He is claiming that Kai was behind my kidnapping. He's making Kai out to be the bad guy so no one questions why he's locked up.""No, they are going to-""I know," I whispered, looking toward the locked door as if he could somehow hear me through the thick wood. "He wants us married in a week or two.""Lila, listen to me," Selene said. "You need to get out of there right now. Leave through the back entrance. I can come pick you up, or—""I can't leave," I cut her off, my chest heaving as I tried to pull myself together. "If I leave, Kai dies. Theo is going to kill him, Selene. I can't just run away and let him take the fall
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 123: Trial
LILA'S POVThe news hit me like a punch to the gut. Even though Selene had warned me they fought, hearing Theo say Kai was locked up made me want to throw up. I had to pretend I was just shocked, not terrified for him."Betraying the pack?" I asked, my voice shaking a little. "What did he do?"Theo watched me carefully, checking my face for any reaction. "He was the one behind the threats against you," Theo lied smoothly. "He helped set up your kidnapping, Lila. He worked with our enemies."I couldn't believe how easily he lied. He was turning Kai, the person who actually tried to help me into the bad guy.."That... I can't believe it," I whispered. "Kai?""People change, Lila," Theo said softly, pulling me into a tight hug. "You're safe now. You don't have to think about him ever again."I nodded against his chest, biting the inside of my cheek so I wouldn't scream. When he pulled back, I tried to sound reasonable without making him suspect anything."What's going to happen to him n
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 122: Kai
LILA'S POVThe door closed behind me with a loud click, every part of me wanted to turn around and run back into the woods to Rowan, but I forced my feet to stay put. I had chosen this. I had walked back with my eyes open just to find out the truth about my father’s death and all the lies Theo had been telling me.Nanny Rosa came out of the kitchen right away, wiping her hands on her apron. She looked relieved to see me."Lila," she said, rushing over to take my hands. "Where have you been? You’ve been gone since last night, and nobody could reach you."I forced a small smile and tried to sound as calm as possible. "I'm sorry, Rosa. Things got overwhelming after I left the party, so I just stayed at a friend's house. I should have called, but my phone died."It was a total lie. I didn't say a word about Rowan, the attack, or the mark on his chest that changed everything I thought I knew. Rosa frowned and rubbed my hands "Well, you should have let someone know," she said softly. "Th
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 121: Facing it
LILA'S POV When I entered Rowan's room he was sitting against the headboard with his injured side covered, looking through something on his phone when I knocked lightly against the open door. He looked up almost immediately, and for a second neither of us said anything.Things were still strange between us.I was still angry with him. I understood why he had kept the truth from me, but understanding it didn't erase the fact that he had known who I was to him from the night my father died and had watched me make decisions based on a lie."I need to talk to you."He put his phone down. "About Theo?"I nodded and stepped inside."Kai found out that Theo was already here before my father died." I said carefully omitting Selene's involvement.Rowan's expression changed slightly. "I know."I stopped. “ Detective Elias told me just this morning"I stared at him for a second before remembering that he had made him run a private investigations along side the one we were running that night abo
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 120: Troubles Come Knocking
LILA'S POVI barely slept.By evening, I was still sitting on the edge of my bed, staring at nothing in particular. My head hurt from thinking about everything Rowan had told me in the morning, but there was one thing that kept coming back no matter how many times I tried to push it away.Rowan had already asked Detective Elias to look into what Theo had been doing abroad before he came back. I needed to know where he had been, who he had spoken to, and what he had been doing around the time my father died. At this point, I couldn't afford to assume anything about him anymore.I looked up and found Selene standing at the doorShe looked tired. Her hair was pulled back messily, and there were dark circles beneath her eyes after everything that happened the night before, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to say."Can I come in?"I noddedShe walked in and closed the door behind her. I took the chair opposite her, pulling my legs underneath me.She looked at me for a few seconds before f
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 119: Relearning everything
LILA'S POVI stayed curled up in the corner of my room with my knees pulled against my chest, staring at the same spot on the floor until the darkness outside the window slowly began to fade. I had changed out of my dress at some point, but I couldn't remember when. My hair was still a mess from the gala, and my face felt tight from crying, even though I had stopped hours ago.I pressed my forehead against my knees and squeezed my eyes shut, hoping that somehow, when I opened them again, everything would make sense. It didn't. If anything, the more I thought about it, the worse it became.A knock came from the other side of the door"Lila?" I did not bother to reply "Can I come in?"I stared at the door for a long moment before looking away again. I didn't answer, but after a few seconds, I heard the handle move and the door opened slowly.Rowan stepped inside.He looked exhausted. His hair was slightly messy, and there was still a bandage underneath his shirt where I had cleaned his w
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 66: Staying
☆☆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.

☆☆ 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
