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
Adams' POVWe sat on the sand, listening to the wind that was whispering through the night. It had been over an hour since the goddess left, yet it felt like a dream.Lilith's head was on my shoulders and my hand was wrapped around her waist. Although we didn't speak, we cherished the silence, enjoying the feeling of each other's embrace.“We should get back home, it's getting really late,” I whispered in her ears as the wind blew her hair out of place, making it rest on her mouth.I picked up the loose hair, and tucked it behind her ears. She turned to face me, her lips pouted stubbornly. “Let's stay for a little while, we may never get this chance again.“We will always have this chance, my love,” I assured her.We sat in silence for a little while, enveloped in our thoughts before she broke the silence. “I'm a little bit scared, Adams.”“Scared?” I turned to face her. “Why?”She stretched her hand and touched my face, grazing it with her fingers. “I'm scared that we may not always
Lilith's POVLooking at the scene before me, my heart skipped a million times in a second. Only if one had a death wish would he confront Ted in this furious state he was, considering the terribly vicious things he had done in the past days.But this man… he seemed so confident in himself, like he could defeat Ted. The fact that his face was concealed added a layer of mystery to his personality.A terrible wind suddenly began to blow, and fog started to seep in. The eyes of the men and their leader remained as though what was happening was a normal thing.Soon, nothing was in sight as the fog had covered it all. The trees, the men, even Ted. All I saw was myself, in my own closed space.There was no stopping him now.“You have the ability to control him, remember?” Lexi reminded me with a question.“But how? I don't know what to do.” I was confused and tired of the whole thing, if only we could just disappear and find ourselves home.This wasn't like the other times when I just let i
Adams' POVSince I saw the note, I had not been myself. All I could think of was what Ben was planning again.Was he involved in tonight's attack? The leader of the attackers seemed to know me too well.Lilith had her bath and changed into a free, semi-transparent white nightgown, while I went in to take mine.I sank into the bathtub slowly as the cold water hit my skin, numbing my senses for a second. My eyes grew heavy as though stones were placed on them, causing me to shut them and dive into a replay of the day's memories.How long I was there I couldn't tell. My eyes shot open, however, when my memories got to the part where Lilith had been embarrassed to see me naked.I came out of the water immediately and wrapped a towel around my hips, as the water tickled down my body.When I came out of the bathroom, everywhere was dark except a small light from a corner of the room.I turned to face the light and I saw Lilith’s figure, sitting before the mirror, combing her hair, with her
Lilith’s POVThe night kept going on smoothly as there was a slow build up from cold to warm, and it was soon hot, until… Adams just stopped. “What’s the matter…?” I let out as I noticed that Adams had stopped for a couple of moments. I had shut my eyes for a couple of minutes, waiting for him to make me feel like I had made him feel a few moments ago.But there was nothing. I popped my eyes open to see him just planted on top of me. He had stopped like he had heard something which I hadn’t heard while being caught up in that wonderful moment when we had been unable to get enough of each other.“Adams…? What’s going on…?” I was starting to get scared that something worse than Ted acting up was about to happen. “You look quite―”“I have to go…” he said as he sprung up from me. “I just got a message from Ronan… he mind-linked with me to tell me that there are some strange men who claim they are here to see me…”“What…? Why now…?” I voiced out the questions that kept reechoing in my he
Adams’ POVDisturbances like that were sure to make me lose my temper. There had been too many things I had been planning to do with Lilith that night, only to have them all interrupted by the visit from the so-called important guests.“This had better be worth it, Ronan.” I aired out all of my vexations to my Beta as I walked to the front entrance where he was probably waiting for me with the guests. “They look pretty serious to me,” Ronan said to me as he was trying to keep me from getting too pissed, before I would hear them out. I was soon standing in front of the men who were clothed in black robes with hoods which covered their faces partially. That was a bit suspicious as I was about to take them for spies. It was really hard to understand just what they could have been there for. “Here they are, Alpha,” Ronan said as he pointed them to me while staring at them with a really unwelcoming gaze.“And to what do I owe this unprecedented visit…?” I asked, without waiting for them
Adams’ POV“What do you mean?” I was running through the fortress as hurriedly as I could, as I wasn’t sure what to call what was happening at the moment. “Are you really serious?”“They were here… just a few minutes ago after we had driven them out. And now, they are nowhere to be found.” Ronan’s tone brimmed with shock and frustration.I was done hearing about it and was soon setting out to go see it for myself. It was just as he had said. They were all gone.“It had been a decoy…” I breathed out angrily as I was about to lose control of Ted. I was clinging to the last thread of self-restraint that I had.It was quite annoying that everything was falling apart right when it seemed like it was all about to make meaning.“A decoy for what, Alpha?&rdqu
Adams’ POV“How did she come back and through where?” I asked, snapping, completely astonished and flabbergasted. I tried to understand what he was saying, but it was very surprising. “I don't know how or where, Your Highness,” Ronan replied, with shock evident on his face.I pulled up the horse's rein to make it go faster, and it trotted back home without informing him. He tried following me immediately but his horse was giving him a hard time and I couldn't wait for him as I wanted to be sure Lilith was really home. What could have happened? And how did she get back because I'm sure she wasn't there and the absence of her scent confirmed so?I got to the mansion gates and the guards opened the door immediately, letting us in, and my horse was moving too fast, so I pulled the reins of the horse to stop it.I got off the horse before it would even stop, and I rushed up to my room to be sure if Ronan was right. Opening the door, and she was really there sitting on the bed staring int
