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
Author's POVLilith sat on the bed with tears running down her cheeks like a river, as she was trying to contain her fear. "What's going on, goddess?" She muttered silently.Adams rushed to her, sitting by her side. He pulled her to his chest, completely bothered about her welfare as she had seen a lot of violence in one night. Lilith cleaned her eyes and she looked at him with her red - swollen eyes that made Adams' heart ache in pain.“We will have to be more careful and watchful, because the man intends to kill me, but because of your being there, he killed the guards as a warning,” she said to Adams. Though she tried to be strong and composed. Adams nodded as he held her hand, gently taking her out of the room, and mind linking Ronan, who joined them immediately in his home office.“Who could be behind all these mishaps? Ben?" Ronan paused, and continued, "I think, for the meantime, you may have to change your room. You shouldn't stay in that room now,” Ronan said, after Adams n
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
