☆☆LILA☆☆

I closed the door to the council room behind me, and for a moment, I just stood halfway as I moved to the door there thinking about what I just agreed to.

I ignored the people staring at me in the hallways as I walked towards the door.

I was about to open the door when I heard voices filling the space. I tried to open the door but I couldn’t help but stop when i heard what they were talking about.

“Guess this means Theodore’s finally going to be Alpha soon,” one of the guards said, leaning against the wall.

“About time,” the other one replied. “But really? A human? What’s the council thinking?”

“Yeah, right, she's not a human,” the first one snorted. “No offence, but she’s not even one of us. We've all seen what happened when she was supposed to turn. How is she getting married to Theo supposed to fix anything?”

“Maybe it’s not about fixing,” the second said. “Maybe they just want to control her. You saw how Renard looks at her. Like she’s a time bomb waiting to explode.”

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION     Chapter 30: Worth the shot

    ☆☆LILA☆☆The maid came in again, quiet as always. She set down the tray and left before I could even ask her what day it was.She gave me bread, meat, and soup. Normal. I sniffed it. Not poisoned. Not yet. But the spoon and fork were still plastic. I stared at them for a long second. Then sighed. They have just been repeating the same circle, feeding me, changing my drip and Rowan standing at the door making me uncomfortable half of the time.I looked at the fork. It was plastic but I can at least tryI waited until the footsteps outside faded away, then pulled the tray closer. If they were going to keep me here, then I’d at least try something. Anything.I picked up the fork, tested the edge. It was weak, bendable, but maybe enough.My left hand still had the drip stuck in it, so I dragged the stand along with me as I crossed to the door. The wheels squeaked across the floor. I tried to wedge the fork into the lock, twisting it just slightly.It didn’t move.I tried again, harder thi

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION    Chapter 29: I will bring her back

    ☆☆THEO☆☆ The pack house was still a mess. Four days after the day that was supposed to be our wedding and everything was still upside down. The Elders were everywhere, questioning people like that would somehow bring her back. Kai was trying to calm me down, again. I could hear him outside, talking to one of the guards. At first, I thought she ran away. It would’ve been easier that way. Lila ran when things got too much that sounded like her. But when I saw the bodies outside her room, I knew that she was taken. No one runs and leaves that much damage behind, and Lila was not capable of taking down five wolves by herself, but I knew who could do it. I stood by the window, staring at the woods. My room looked like hell, with broken glass on the table and papers scattered everywhere. I hadn’t eaten or slept in days. I couldn’t. My head felt heavy, but I couldn’t stop thinking. I’d already snapped at Kai twice, and Raya hadn’t shown up since yesterday. She was probably still

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION    Chapter 28: 4 Days After The Wedding

    ☆☆LILA☆☆ The next morning, I was already awake before the maid came in. I hadn’t slept much anyway. Every time I closed my eyes, I either saw Rowan’s face or kept thinking about how to get out of this place. The tray in her hands smelled like soup. My stomach growled. I was definitely hungry, but I ignored it. I was observing her, hoping this time they’d make a mistake. Maybe give me something sharp, an iron fork or something I could actually use. But no. The spoon clattered against the plate, plastic again. I sighed. “You people are really scared of me, huh?” She didn’t answer, just bowed slightly and left as quickly as she came. I stared at the door for a long second, then at the food. I didn’t even touch it. A few minutes later, the door opened again. Selene walked in. Her face was calm, unreadable, as always. She didn’t say good morning or ask how I was. She hardly talked to me after I mentioned her little secret. She just went straight to checking the drip, her fingers

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION    Chapter 27: Kidnapped Again

    ☆☆LILA☆☆The first thing I woke up to see was a blue ceiling, i looked around the unfamiliar room trying to understand where I wasI tried to move, but my body felt heavy. My eyelids stung when I tried to open them very well. I didn’t even know where I was. Everything in this room was sky blue.There was a faint sound beside me, beep, beep. A machine somewhere close.When I finally managed to sit up, something tugged at my hand. I looked down and saw a tube taped to my skin. My heart skipped. I followed it up to a drip stand, slowly realising what it was.My breathing quickened.I gripped the tube and tried to pull it out, but a hand caught mine before I could.“Hey! Don’t do that.”Her voice was calm but firm.I turned quickly, and my head throbbed for a second. A woman was standing there, she looked my age, maybe younger than I was. She wore dark blue scrubs and had a neat ponytail that made her face look sharper. Her eyes were grey, almost silver, she was beautiful.“You’ll hurt yo

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION    Chapter 26: The Morning of the Wedding 

    ☆☆LILA☆☆ Sunlight shining on my face was the first thing that woke me up. For a second, I didn’t move. I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, listening to people move around the house. It was exhausting. Today was supposed to be my wedding day. The thought alone made my stomach twist. I exhaled slowly and pushed myself up, rubbing my eyes. Maybe I should try to be happy, I told myself. Maybe I should at least try. Theo wasn’t a bad man. He had been kind to me, patient in his own quiet way. Maybe I could make it work. Maybe I could fit in their world. But something in the air felt off, no matter how hard I tried to convince myself it was not working My eyes landed on the dressing table. The flower, the one Theo gave me was gone. I frowned. I hadn’t told anyone to put it in water yet. I was supposed to, but I forgot. It was there last night. I was sure of it. “Maybe someone took it,” I murmured under my breath, brushing the thought away. Someone must have seen it wilting

    I blinked, I am sure I’d misheard him.“What? Rowan’s sister?”Kai nodded, eyes unreadable. “I didn’t believe it at first either. But I followed her. She’s been sneaking out at night to the borders, to the healers’ camp. She’s helping people from both clans. Even rogues.”The words sank into me like cold rain. “Why would she do that? She’s risking everything, her family, her position.”“I don’t know,” Kai said, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t know why she’s doing it. But I know better than to trust Blackwood.”I stared at him, my mind spinning. “Does Rowan know?”He hesitated. “No. I don’t think so. But if he does, he’s doing a damn good job pretending not to. He’s planning something, Lila. I can feel it.”Why would Selene risk her life to help people? It didn’t make sense. None of it did.I was about to say something when Kai’s phone rang loudly, diverting our attention.He glanced at the screen, his jaw tightening. “Excuse me, Lila, I’ve got to go.”“Of course,” I said softly.
