MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 73:The Special Training
☆☆LILA☆☆I woke up already dreading my morning.Which was impressive because I'd only been awake for about ten seconds.Nyx.That was why.Every morning, like some kind of terrifying ritual, she appeared and found new ways to remind me how painfully human I was.By the time I dragged myself out of bed and made my way outside, I had already prepared for the worst.What I wasn't prepared for was Rowan standing in the living room.I stopped walking and looked around before looking at him again."Where's Nyx?""She is busy."I narrowed my eyes immediately."Busy?""Yes. She has important duties to fulfill for the pack."I stared at him suspiciously."Since when?"Rowan shrugged.I pointed at him."You did something.""I have no idea what you're talking about.""Of course you don't.""I don't.""You absolutely do."His expression remained perfectly innocent.I started walking toward the gym room, and he followed me.A few seconds later, he said,"You wanted help."I glanced at him.A few d
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 72: The Start of something crazy
The room felt quiet immediately after Rowan dismissed everyone. I stared at the floor. Someone was still hiding something, even months after the incident. What were they scared we would find out? I didn't even realize Rowan had stood up until I heard the first cabinet open. I looked over at him, and he was already moving around the kitchen, pulling ingredients from the fridge, then reaching for a pan, doing whatever mysterious cooking he intended to do. For some reason, I found myself watching him, maybe because it was better than thinking, because if I thought too hard, I'd start imagining every possible reason someone would still be cleaning up evidence. A few moments later, Rowan looked up. I looked away immediately, feeling flushed that he had caught me staring. "You can sit here if you want." I blinked. "What?" He nodded toward the kitchen island. I stared at him suspiciously. "What happened to me being banned from your kitchen?" "I changed my mind." "You changed you
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 71: MORE CLUES
☆☆LILA ☆☆The moment we got home, Rowan looked at my ankle and said,"Sit down."I immediately shook my head."I'm fine.""You are limping.""It's just a sprain.""Lila."I rolled my eyes."It will work itself out.""Sit."The annoying thing I noticed about Rowan was that when he decided something, he became impossible to argue with.I muttered something insulting under my breath and dropped onto the couch.A few minutes later, he came back carrying a first aid kit. I watched him kneel in front of me and carefully lift my injured leg."Do you know what you're doing?"He glanced up briefly."My sister is a nurse," he said matter-of-factly."Right."I already knew that.Still, watching him work was strange because when I first met Rowan, I thought he was the type of person who would tell someone to walk off a broken leg. Maybe even cruel.Yet here he was kneeling in front of me, treating my leg.For a moment, I simply watched him work.The concentration on his face.The way he focused c
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 70: The crime scene
A LONG CHAPTER FOR THE QUEENS☆☆LILA☆☆A week later, I could finally say one thing with confidence.Training still sucked.My body had started adjusting to it, but that didn't mean it hurt any less. Every morning, I woke up sore.Every time, Nyx found new and creative ways to make me question my life choices.And every time, I considered faking my own death.Unfortunately, Nyx would probably still make me train.I walked into the living room and immediately spotted Rowan standing in the kitchen.Without paying much attention to me, he slid a plate toward me.I stared at it.Then at him.Then back at the food."Thank you."He did not answer.As expected, I sat down and started eating.For a few moments, the only sound in the room was the clink of my cutlery while Rowan continued working in the living room.Then Rowan pushed a folder toward me."My detective found something."Immediately, my appetite disappeared. I put down my fork."What?""The land where your father died."My heart sk
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 69: THE CHEF
☆☆LILA☆☆I stared at him.Then the counter.Then back at him."You can cook?"Rowan raised an eyebrow before saying, "I am currently standing in a kitchen making dinner.""That's not what I meant."He went back to chopping vegetables.I was still trying to process this."I thought you had a chef.""A chef?""Yeah.""Why?"I shrugged."Because breakfast is always ready before I wake up."He didn't even look up."I like eating breakfast early."I blinked, surprised."So you've been making breakfast every morning?""Yes.""And mine too?"That finally made him glance at me."You're under my care."The words came out matter-of-factly, like it was obvious.I hated how much my chest warmed at that."That's surprisingly nice.""It isn't."My smile widened."Oh?""I don't trust you enough to let you into my kitchen."The warmth immediately vanished."Excuse me?"He returned to cutting vegetables in a you-heard-me way.I stared at him in offense."You don't even know if I can cook."That earned
MARKED BY DECEPTION CHAPTER 68: SERIES OF TRAINING
☆☆LILA☆☆I woke up feeling very sore, like someone had run a truck over me.For a moment, I just lay there staring at the ceiling and wondering if death was an option.Then I remembered Nyx and her training, and death seemed like a better option.With a groan, I forced myself out of bed and shuffled toward the living room.Nyx was already there. Of course she was.She was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed, looking far too awake for someone existing at this ungodly hour.The moment she saw me, a smirk spread across her face."Look who finally decided to roll out of bed."I narrowed my eyes."Excuse me for not being used to having every bone broken."Nyx snorted."Humans.""What about us?""You lot are lazy and dramatic."I stared at her."Wow. Good morning to you too."She stood up, not bothering to wait for me."Come on.""No.""Come on.""I literally cannot feel my legs.""You'll survive.""Will I?""Probably.""That's not reassuring.""It wasn't supposed to be."I groaned b
MARKED BY DECEPTION Chapter 34 Blackwood Apartments
☆☆LILA☆☆Selene didn’t slow her pace as she led me through the apartment levels.“This whole building,” she said, gesturing vaguely around us, “is pack housing.”I looked around as we walked. Doors lined the corridors, each one different. Some were decorated with plants, others with symbols carved

☆☆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. T

☆☆LILA☆☆ I didn’t sleep. Not because of the cold, or the IVF that was finally gone. But because I didn't have my sleeping pills with me. I contemplated asking Rowan for it but decided against it. My thoughts drifted back yesterday when he removed my IVF. The way he removed the needle carefull

☆☆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, ta
