Adam’s POVThe room was dark, and I could not see anything around me. There was a dim lamp over my head, it was the only source of light.Shock waves scattered all around my body as I looked at him from his head to his toes.What was he doing here?“Raoul, what is the meaning of this?” I demanded from him.He had this wicked smile on his face, one which mocked me. His eyes were darkened and looked lifeless. He swung a sledgehammer dangerously in his hand, as he watched me from a distance.“Answer me Raoul, why do you have me tied up in this place? Let me go!”“Relax, brother, the fun is just about to begin.”The only thing visible to me in the room was just Raoul. He stood some meters from where I was tied, everywhere else in the room was darkness.Then, he started walking out, and before I realized it, he was completely out of sight.I tried to activate my wolf vision, to see through the darkness, but surprisingly, I couldn’t. “Impossible!”“You won’t see anything in here, don’t bot
Lilith’s POVHe had a mask on his face which covered his nose and mouth but revealed his eyes, he wore dark gloves on his hands. His stance showed he was an experienced fighter and the way he held his sword, nobody could come near him.“What do you want from me?” I screamed.He no longer held me, rather, he threw me to the floor and locked the door.“What do you think I want from you?” He started to come closer, brandishing his sword dangerously. “I am not interested in you, I am only interested in what you have.”His words got me confused. What did he mean by what I have? Besides being the Luna of the pack, I was just a useless Omega. Except, he somehow knew about my powers.Adam was the only one that knew about them and the goddess. So who was he, and what did he know?“I have nothing, and I assume you know me well and already know that.”I couldn’t see his expression because of the mask, but it seemed as though he was smiling. I knew it through the upward shift of the muscles around
Lilith’s POVA flame suddenly came on and I saw his face. Goosebumps rushed all over my body at once as I got up, trying to hide myself from his prying eyes.I wanted to leave the room but stopped as I heard the deep voice of my attacker groaning and cursing outside. He sounded really furious, there was no telling what he would do to me if he caught me.Electric shivers ran through my spine as I heard Ben’s feet move behind me. I was so scared and ashamed to turn— to see his face.He was now very close and I shut my eyes. It came as a surprise, however, when I felt something move upon my skin. I opened my eyes and saw that he covered me with a cloth before walking back to his bed.I felt cold and began to shiver.“He won’t stop till he finds you, but he will leave soon because the guards will soon be awake. Stay here till then to protect yourself, but leave if you think you can face him.”All I did was look at him, so I didn’t know what to say.“As for Ronan, he can take care of himse
Adam’s POVHe had left, and I was in the dark room alone.The lamp above my head remained as the source of light, but I could almost feel the darkness creeping up my skin.I closed my eyes for a while and opened them, as Ted, my wolf, I had found him eventually, silent —deep down inside.Everywhere was no longer dark. Rather, I saw everything around me clearly. The sight before me was gory and disgusting, It almost made me puke all over my body.I discovered that I was in a large room, more like a hall of some sort. There was no furniture in the room, except the chair I sat on and the table before me.There were no windows or doors, as the walls blended together with the door perfectly.The walls were red —the exact color of blood. Dead bodies were piled up all around the room, till they made a circle in the center, where I was.A rotten smell hit my nose and I twitched in disgust. My ears also picked up sounds outside, but it was too faint to make anything out of them.Earlier, someo
Adam’s POVI stood up in haste as they took their stances, swords drawn out.The first man looked like he had never gotten beyond a few hours of sleep in his entire life. His eyes were sunken deep into his head and he almost looked like he was blind.He was a little bit shorter than I was, dressed in an oversized coat which made me wonder how he intended to fight me.The other man, however, was tall and lean, about the same height as I was. He had a fierce look on his face and seemed like someone who could fight.He held his sword so dangerously, I would have surrendered to them if I wasn’t an Alpha.I raised my hands up as I was unarmed. “I really don’t want to fight any of you, just tell me where Raoul is so that we can all be on our way, unhurt. Who knows, I might spare you all and let you keep staying here.”“We don’t need your help or permission to stay here, Alpha king, we do not serve you,” the first man spoke.The other man remained silent, and I guessed he wasn’t much of a tal
Adam’s POV“Shet!” I cursed as I picked him up from the floor.His wounds were fatal, so they healed slowly. He was so weak, his breathing was haggard.For a second, I almost felt pity for him, but it cleared away as soon as it came. If I had not injured him in this state, he would have killed me.With him on my shoulder, I walked over to the floor and picked up the jar which had fallen during the fight.Fortunately, it didn’t break or crack, else I would have been at a loss and would have fought for nothing. I rushed out of the room and summoned Ted to take over me—giving me strength to run the long journey home.Having spent a long time in the mountains, I had no idea what the time was, but it was almost morning.The moon was full and bright in the sky, filling me with an energy I couldn’t wrap my head about.I had not taken much thought of it till now, it all dawned on me that something had changed in Ted. He was now faster and stronger and mysteriously powerful. If not for the fo
Lilith's POVHe stared at me… angrily.He had this face which ordered me to leave him alone, but I wasn’t going to do that till I got the information I needed from him.“What do you want?” He managed to ask, the look on his face still warning me to go back away.I turned towards the door still open. A guard had followed me inside to protect me, but right now, I didn’t need any protection. All I wanted was to get this man alone, to ask him what he knew.“You can leave us,” I muttered to the guard.“My Queen, I’m sorry, I can not do that. This man is a dangerous criminal awaiting trial. The Alpha will have my neck if any harm should come to you,” the guard replied.He stood his ground, as if to tell me not to bother persuading him because he wouldn’t listen.I sighed and smiled at him. “It’s fine, nothing will happen to me. He knows better than to try anything fun. Rest assured I will alert you if needs be.”“But my queen…” he was saying before I cut him short. “No buts, just trust me a
Lilith’s POV“That’s ridiculous, how do you expect me to believe Ben had no hand in the attempted assassination of my life?” Adam asked, his face plastered with a frown.I sighed, knowing it would be difficult to convince him. Whenever his mind was made up, breaking through a wall with one’s finger was easier than convincing him.“I know this sounds awkward, but you need to trust me, okay. Ben is innocent.” I caught sight of Ben’s eyes, watching every one of us. He had a smirk on his face which was the least expected thing I was hoping to see, considering the severity of the situation.“Look at him…” Adam said, pointing towards him. “… does this look like the face of an innocent person?”“And how does the face of an innocent person look like brother? I would love to know so that I can pull away this smirk on my face and replace it as soon as possible.” Ben’s words must have hurt him as he clutched his fist.The sword made a low clanking sound as it touched the floor after Adam let it
