Adams' POV“She will be fine,” the pack doctor said after observing her for a while. He mixed a greenish substance with a white powder and passed it into her mouth with the help of a spoon.“This should reduce the effects of the shock. What happened to her though, my king?”“She fell and hit her head while we were together. I couldn't get to her in time.”I couldn't bear to tell him what happened yet. Since rumors were already going about the castle that I was a woman hitter, keeping it in the mansion was the best thing for now.He nodded and bowed, his head almost grazing the floor. “I'll take my leave now, my King.” I nodded as he walked out of the room, his huge leather bag trailing behind him. It was new and very expensive. Only extremely rich werewolves used that type of bag, and it got me curious. Just how much money was he making from the pack's hospital? Was he hoarding the money for himself? Wasn't he supposed to remit it into the pack’s trust fund?I felt Ted growl inside
Lilith's POVMy memories were a blur, but my sight was worse. For the first few seconds after I opened my eyes, all I saw was hazy white substances floating about.Gradually, it cleared, and I not only saw clearly, I also remembered all that happened. For how long was I gone? An hour or two, maybe. I wasn't sure. The sun was high in the sky and the heat of the afternoon filled the room like a stubborn little baby who wouldn't stop sucking its mother's breast.I sat up on the bed, its softness like a cloud, wrapping me in its gentle embrace.I scanned the room for any signs of Adams or Ronan. A frustrated sigh escaped my lips as I found no one, not even a strand of their hair floated past.They were probably at a meeting or attending to pack matters. Jealousy crept up my soul as I wished Adams was by my side instead.“You are being selfish then,” Lex scolded me, making me feel even sadder than I was. My stomach rumbled, and I got down from the bed, in search of what to eat. I suddenly
Lilith's POVAdams didn't smile, nor did Ronan. Their faces were grim, a person who tasted vinegar wouldn't look as bad as they did.I wanted to ask how long I was out and what I had missed all through the day, but decided not to.It could wait.“What's wrong? Did something terrible happen during the day?”They didn't reply or move, they remained like a statue, suspended in time.I tried to move but my head hurt, just like the dream. Adams noticed my discomfort, from the speed with which I touched my head, to the frown on my face.“What's wrong, my love?” he asked. He moved closer to my side and tried to touch me, but I resisted him.“Don't touch me, I'll be fine.”He looked from me to Ronan, who was also surprised by my response. Ronan raised his shoulders and stretched his arms, opening his palms.Adams sighed and looked back at me, his eyes were red with veins popping at their edges.“Talk to me Lilith, what's the problem? You are being distant. Are you angry with me? Did I do some
Adams' POV“Mate–” Ted whispered, staring into her eyes.She trembled on the spot, her fingers still on my face. Every part of my body remained normal with no dark fur or hair shooting out of it.He only took over my senses and everything connected to it, from my eyes, voice and muscles.“Adams,” she called me, but Ted laughed.“I am not Adams, I am Ted, his wolf. And you are my mate.”She detached immediately, and fell back into the bathtub, staring at Ted like he was some mysterious wonder.“What did you do to Adams?” She asked, her voice trembling like the strings of a guitar. “Adams? I didn't do anything to him. He is safe, inside.”Ted wasn't one to speak much, but she had succeeded in making him talk longer than he always did.She seemed to relax a bit, knowing I was safe. The bubbles in the bathtub covered her from her neck down, making only her face visible.Ted was still very close to her due to the kiss. So she put her hands out gently on his chest and tried to push him bac
Lilith's POVGetting out of the bathtub, I dried my body with the white towel which was hanging on a rod, behind the bathroom door.I wasn't looking forward to dinner, even though I would be closer to Adams. Sitting alongside his brothers was worse than a nightmare as I just couldn't stand them, especially when they fought or argued over anything.I walked towards the wardrobe to pick a dress when I remembered Clara. I hadn't seen her in weeks and it made me wonder where she was.Probably she was working in the kitchen full time, since Adams had been all nosy about my business, I decided to check up on her, on my way to dinner.I smiled at his jealousy, and the way he treated and pampered me like the queen I was. He also stopped me from training with Dale, promising to train me himself.After searching for minutes without seeing anything I liked, I closed the wardrobe with force and something, tied in a black nylon fell from the top.I was about to leave the room when I heard it sound
Lilith's POVNow it all made sense why the chief maid didn't want Sheila to talk. She was hiding a secret which was soon to be exposed. Adams held the spoon in his hand furiously as he stared at the maid before him. I was certain different angry thoughts were running through his mind, and it was only a matter of time before he made them known.“Bring the chief maid in,” he ordered. “She has some explanations to do.”Ronan stood up immediately and went outside. He came back after some minutes, empty-handed. “I couldn't find her, in the kitchen or anywhere.Adams stood up and banged his fist on the table. “Check the servants' quarters, check everywhere. There's no way she could have gone so far.”Ronan ran outside again, and I went to help Sheila to get up. “Are you hurt? Do you feel pain anywhere?” I asked her. Adams simply stared at me for sometime before settling back on his chair.I carried her up and helped her to sit on the closest chair to me. Her hands were bruised from fallin
Adams' POVHer voice, her scent, everything about her brought calm to my raging soul.“How did you know he would listen?” I whispered into her ears, sniffing the beautiful honey scent of her hair.“I didn't know he would,” she whispered back, her sweet voice touching the deepest part of my soul. “I just did it, praying and hoping he would stop.”For the first time, I was this close to her and Ted did not behave funny. He was calmer than the sea after a storm, hardly moving within.I detached myself from her embrace and looked at the mess we had created. The chairs were broken and scattered all over the room, the table was no better than them.Food was all over the wall, and some of the men were injured.I searched for Ronan and found him bent above Sheila, his right leg pierced with a piece of broken glass.He winced in pain as he removed the broken glass from his skin, limping towards the injured guards afterward.The room which looked beautiful earlier, now resembles a litter house,
Lilith's POVOf all the time the moon chose to come out in all its glory, it was tonight.I suddenly felt a burning desire to have Adams all to myself as Lexi danced crazily inside me, threatening to come out.“Stay still,” I scolded her inwardly, but she hissed, ignoring me.It wasn't her fault, I had starved her for too long. Clinging so tightly to Adams made things worse, but there was nothing I could do.He rode so fast, one would think he was being chased by a demon. It made me wonder if he did it on purpose so that I would hold onto him tightly, and not let go.“Are you alright? Am I riding too fast?” He asked, probably noting my discomfort.I wanted to say yes, to tell him he should slow down and go at a gentler pace. But the truth was, I didn't want to let go, gosh! Just what was he doing to me?“No… I'm fine,” I whispered, regretting it afterward.He nodded, and we rode on in silence, at the same speed for a while before slowing down. “So… where are we going to?” I asked aga
