Lilith's POVThe loud knocking on my door woke me up. For a bit, I enjoyed the warmth of my blankets. The quietness was nice compared to the tapping. But the knocking kept going stronger and steady. Complaining, I swung my legs over the bed, my feet touching the cold wood floor.“Okay, okay, I’m coming!” I said, feeling annoyed as I walked to the door.Ronan’s friendly face welcomed me when I opened it. He was smiling with a confident look with three serious men in dark clothes behind him. They stood straight, their eyes wide and careful.“Good morning, My Queen,” Ronan said, nodding a little. His voice was nice, but there was a quick need beneath it.“What's happening Ronan?” I frowned, my face showing confusion. “Why are you here so early?”Ronan pointed to the three men with him. “The Alpha King sent these three to keep you safe.”“I don't need bodyguards, Ronan,” I said, my voice very mad. “This is silly.”“Please, Your Highness,” Ronan said seriously. “This isn't a choice. It's w
Lilith's POVI adjusted my position in the chair, turning my head slightly to look at Adams. A gentle smile spread across my face, a warm expression that felt like it could light up even the saddest of hearts.“I believe it might be a good idea for me to step out for a little while,” I quietly said, my voice soft and not much louder than a whisper. “I really don’t want to keep bothering you while you have someone here visiting.”He raised his gaze upwards and a look of worry crossed his good-looking face.“You really don’t need to go, Lilith. I would much prefer it if you decided to stay. You understand that, right?”I smiled, thinking of how much Adams loved me and wanted me to be around him always while I pushed some strands of hair behind my ear. “Yeah, I understand, my love," I said, and I moved closer to give him a kiss on his lips. However, I think it might be a good idea for me to go outside for a little while. You will probably need to talk about important things without me be
Author's POVRaider sat by himself at the long wooden table, the flickering candlelight making shadows dance around the big dining room of the Green Forest pack's main hall. His fork absentmindedly traced the edge of his plate though he had long stopped tasting the roasted meat in front of him. He looked up to see Cassandra walking with her hair flowing over her shoulders like a dark waterfall lit by moonlight, and a bright smile lighting up her face.“Sorry, I’m late,” she said, drifting towards him like a puff of smoke. “You know how it goes; the pack always has something to talk about.”“Don't stress over it,” Raider said with his tone calming right away. “I was just… thinking about life while I ate dinner.”Cassandra laughed softly as she sat down across from him, her giggle easing the tightness that had built up all night. “A big problem about lamb chops, huh?”“Feels more like a regular meal while my thoughts drift away.” Raider leaned closer and spoke in a teasing tone. “But I
Author's POVInside the warm and comfortable space of the Alpha's room, Raider was comfortably lying down wrapped in the soft sheets. His deep breaths created a peaceful and calm rhythm that filled the surrounding air, making the atmosphere very serene.Meanwhile, Cassandra slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She looked around the room with her bright eyes, making sure that the only sounds she could hear were the gentle breaths of her partner as he slept soundly.Very quietly she gently slipped out from under the warm covers of the bed, being very careful not to make any noise that might disturb him. As she stood up, the coldness of the floor sent a sudden shiver running through her body, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.The chilly draft in the room made her delicate gown wrinkle and flutter around her. She paused for a brief moment to look back at Raider who was lying there, his strong and powerful figure reminding her of the life they had built together.However, tonight that re
Author's POVRaider was standing in the middle of the bedroom which was not very bright as it was night. The light was low, making everything look a bit shadowy. His fists were tightly clenched, showing that he was really upset, and his jaw was tense and set in a firm line.Anger filled him intensely, almost like a fire spreading quickly. He fixed his intense stare on Cassandra as she came into the room. She walked in with an expression that looked careful and defensive, suggesting she was unsure of what might happen next.“Where have you been?” Raider demanded with his voice booming with anger and frustration. Each word he spoke was heavy with emotion.The soft warm glow of the moon struggled to break through the thick heavy atmosphere of tension that surrounded them, making it feel even more intense.Cassandra held her breath, feeling a cold dread creep around her body. “I... I went to the living room,” she said quietly with her heart pounding. “I just needed a moment to clear my he
Adams' POVThe early morning light was soft and faint as it came through the thick heavy curtains in my study. This gentle light created long shadows that stretched across my desk which were organized and arranged with great care.On the shelf nearby there were clay figurines shaped like wolves. These figurines were important to me because they reminded me of my family and the role I had inherited as the Alpha King.The atmosphere in the room felt heavy with an unspoken sense of power and control and there was a quiet peace that surrounded me. However, this moment of tranquility was suddenly broken by a loud and unexpected knock on the door.“Your Highness,” said a voice that belonged to Ronan.“Please come in,” I said, trying my best to keep my voice calm and steady. I wanted to sound confident and show that I was in control of the situation.The door suddenly swung open and Ronan walked into the room. His face showed a mix of urgency and deep concern. He was dressed in the tradition

My heart felt light when I saw her—Lilith, my dear Luna, her laughter floating in the air with a sweet sound among the soft rustle of leaves.Next to her stood a young maid, wide-eyed and eager, listening closely to every word Lilith said. The scene pulled at my heart and a happy smile grew on my face as I got closer.“Lilith!” I called out with my voice wrapping around her like a cozy hug.The maid was laughing when she turned quickly curtsying and briefly looking at me before scurrying off feeling the vibe between Lilith and me. I moved closer, enjoying the moment as Lilith focused entirely on me.&l
Adams' POVI ran to the back of the run-down building with my heart racing with each quick step I took. The air smelled strongly of smoke and metal—a nasty reminder of the violence that happened just hours ago.“Ronan!” I shouted with my voice deep and harsh. The air was thick with tension and every part of me felt that something was very wrong. I came to a quick stop, staring at my Beta, whose face showed serious determination.“Over here,” Ronan called, beckoning me to a broken wall covered in shadows.“What is going on?” I asked, stepping closer and looking around at what was left of the village. The wreckage made me both mad and sad. It was once a lively place now turned into
