Lilith's POV;In the photo was a child, a boy of not more than three years with dark hair and blue eyes.The same shade of blue I was all too familiar with.Adams,I know you're hurting, but so am I. Each moment spent without you is pain. A pain so raw, that it feels as though a hot knife is searing through my heart.I promised not to come back to the town, but it's time we stopped hiding when we're not some dirty little secret.You're married now, and I respect your decision to do so. However, it would be nice to see you, even if it has to be for just a moment. I'll stay out of your way, and you won't even know I'm there.Ted misses you. I named him Teddy, after your wolf. It's funny, right, when we aren't even mates. But our bond is greater than that of mates.Someday, I'm going to have to tell him about his father. Although I have no idea about what to say, all the same, he's going to have to know.In case you want to visit, we're going to be at the first apartment you got for me.
Adams' pov;I squinted my eyes to be sure I wasn't mistaken. The sight in front of me was one I never thought I would ever see.Right there in front of me was Ben, hand in hand with my wife, who would never let me touch her and who had become some sort of robot."Your Highness," someone called out, and I didn't have to turn back to know it was Ronan."I've been looking all over for you," he continued when I didn't say anything."Your Highness?" He said again and clicked his tongue."That's your brother and your wife….""She seems so…. I thought she didn't want anyone to touch her," I was staring at them in disbelief.I blinked back and, without any more thought, walked towards them, ignoring whatever Ronan was saying."I need to speak with my wife," I said, through gritted teeth, wat
Lilith’s POV;Our marriage wasn’t built on love, but it still hurt that he had brought his mistress to the house we shared. He had promised that he was going to give me time to open up my heart to him. It was barely a month later and he was already tired. I scoffed at that thought and finally pushed the thoughts of him and his betrayal out of my mind. It really wasn’t worth it.To make matters worse, he didn’t appear for dinner and neither did she, and I couldn’t help but imagine if he was somewhere with her. There was no word from any of the maids either and Ben might’ve noticed, for he ate with me and, thankfully, didn’t say anything.He seemed like a good person, so I wanted to ask him if what I had heard was right, if indeed, he was after the throne, but I couldn’t find myself doing that.“Lilith!”I glanced up, breaking my reverie and definitely surprised to hear his voice after what had happened the day before with Ben.I stood up and bowed. I had already got dressed and was ab
Unknown POV;Seeing what was going on, I could say that my plan was working, even though not the way I had intended for it to.I downed the contents of the glass in a single shot, letting the harsh taste dance around my mouth before gulping it. The wristwatch on my wrist told me that my brothers were already almost an hour late, and I began to wonder if they had betrayed me.Just like me, I knew they had their own plans, but they could all plan as much as they liked. There was no doubt about who was eventually going to sit on the throne.The fact that they were still in the mansion was proof enough that they had eyes on the throne.“Hey bro!”I didn’t have to turn around to find out who it was. I let out a deep sigh as I heard a chair pull out. I chose
Lilith's POV;"Your Highness, it's time for breakfast," Julia said for the umpteenth time. A long sigh expelled from my lips while I stood up.I was already dressed, but the thought of Maya being there at the table terrified me. I don't know if I should ask Adams what she was doing in the mansion.Now that I think about it, he must've really taken advantage of my meekness, knowing that I wouldn't ask what she was doing in the mansion.I heard Julia's footsteps as I walked to the dining area."Don't follow me," I said and, without turning around, I knew that the familiar expression of surprise was etched on her face."Your Highness?"I said nothing, there wasn't a need to. She heard what I had said."Lilith! You're late!" Maya cooed in between spoonfuls of what I suspected to be the scrambled eggs in front of her and I smiled softly, noting that they had already begun to eat.I knew that it was already way past breakfast time, but still, it pained me to think that he couldn't even chec
Adams' Pov;I paced in my office, pondering over my conversation with the doctor.The poison he had told me was used on her was from a rare tree, one I never thought still existed as my father, the late king, had burnt it down.The only thing that I had thought of was that the poison was obtained from another place. But why was she poisoned? I still couldn't wrap my head around it.I still kept replaying the image of her, how she had fallen into my arms and struggled to say something. I wasn't going to just sit still and let all of this happen.The office door opened and Ronan stepped in, his eyes bearing a worried expression. I was waiting for him after sending it to him earlier. He was supposed to be meeting with the council members on my behalf, but I wanted to talk to him immediately."Your Highness," he started, and then seeing the expression on my face,
Lilith's POV;It was as though nobody was coming to check on me anymore, not even Maya nor my husband, and my heart clenched at the thought that I had been discarded.Whoever had tried to kill me must've either given up or thought that I was dead as there was still no attempt anymore. I had no idea whose voice I had heard, but I was sure it was Maya.She was the only one who would gain a lot from my death.While I was engrossed in my thoughts, the door opened and my nose caught a whiff of a familiar smell. My mother!But my wolf was already even more weakened than I was. How was she able to pick up such a scent, and how was it even possible when my mother was dead or was I also dead? Had the goddess finally decided to let me reunite with my family?"Open your eyes!" It was the unmistakable voice that belonged to my mother.Mother! I tried
Unknown POV;Lilith was either too strong a woman or Sheila hadn't done a proper job. That poison was one that could take out ten strong men and the best part of it, was it had no cure, yet for some reason, she was still alive, although unconscious.In my short time alive, I knew never to think that something was impossible. After all, who would've thought that my brother would end up as the king when he was the youngest of us, or that my father would die just as he had? So when I heard that the doctor had said that she wasn't going to live, I decided that it wasn't enough. She had to be completely finished.When Sheila told me that she had done the job, I told her to leave. It was better that way. After all, she was the only one who knew that I was responsible for it.She didn't want to leave, but I promised her that I was going to bring her back when I became the king, something I had no intention
