☆☆LILA☆☆

I sat on the edge of the bed, thinking about Kai.

Selene had caught him. She wasn’t suspecting it; she knew.

If she knew, then Rowan would soon know too with time, unless Selene kept it a secret, which I certainly hoped she would.

The door opened.

I didn’t look up.

I didn’t need to. I knew he was the one standing at the door. He closed it behind him, letting himself in. He stood at the doorway, just watching me. His presence made me uncomfortable.

I exhaled slowly. “You can stop

  • 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 118: The Truth

    LILA'S POVI pressed the cloth against Rowan’s side when he reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. His fingers moved across the screen, and I watched him for a second before looking back at the blood soaking through the cloth.“Can you call me Selene?”“I already called someone.”“Who?”“My guard. He’s coming for us.”I frowned. “Us?”His eyes lifted to mine, and there was something almost amused in them despite the pain on his face. “You think I’m letting you stay behind after what just happened?”I glanced back towards the ballroom, but there was no point. People were still shouting, guards were moving through the hall, and Selene was nowhere in sight. After what I had seen between her and Kai, I had a feeling she had enough to deal with.Rowan’s guard arrived a few minutes later, and the moment he saw the blood on Rowan’s shirt, his whole expression changed.“Alpha.”“I’m fine.”The guard looked at him.“I can see that.”Rowan gave him a warning look, but I almost smiled

  • MARKED BY DECEPTION    Chapter 117: Selene and Kai

    LILA'S POVThe moment we stepped back into the ballroom, everything had already fallen apart.People were running in every direction.Someone was shouting for the guards. Another person was dragging an injured man away from the centre of the room while two wolves tore into each other near the entrance. Glass was everywhere, glittering across the floor beneath the flashing lights, and the music had stopped completely.“What the fuck happened here?” I shouted.Rowan grabbed my hand.“Stay with me.”I held on tightly, but someone crashed into us from the side.His fingers slipped from mine.“Rowan!” Before I could reach for him another body shoved between us, I couldn't see anything except the people around me.I pushed through them, calling his name again.“Rowan!”My heart was hammering as I looked around.Theo was nowhere.Selene wasn't anywhere and neither was Kai.Where the hell had everyone gone?I pushed past another group of people and nearly stumbled over a broken chair.“Rowan!

  • 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

    ☆☆ 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
