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
Lilith's POVI adjusted my position in the chair, turning my head slightly to look at Adams. A gentle smile spread across my face, a warm expression that felt like it could light up even the saddest of hearts.“I believe it might be a good idea for me to step out for a little while,” I quietly said, my voice soft and not much louder than a whisper. “I really don’t want to keep bothering you while you have someone here visiting.”He raised his gaze upwards and a look of worry crossed his good-looking face.“You really don’t need to go, Lilith. I would much prefer it if you decided to stay. You understand that, right?”I smiled, thinking of how much Adams loved me and wanted me to be around him always while I pushed some strands of hair behind my ear. “Yeah, I understand, my love," I said, and I moved closer to give him a kiss on his lips. However, I think it might be a good idea for me to go outside for a little while. You will probably need to talk about important things without me be
Author's POVRaider sat by himself at the long wooden table, the flickering candlelight making shadows dance around the big dining room of the Green Forest pack's main hall. His fork absentmindedly traced the edge of his plate though he had long stopped tasting the roasted meat in front of him. He looked up to see Cassandra walking with her hair flowing over her shoulders like a dark waterfall lit by moonlight, and a bright smile lighting up her face.“Sorry, I’m late,” she said, drifting towards him like a puff of smoke. “You know how it goes; the pack always has something to talk about.”“Don't stress over it,” Raider said with his tone calming right away. “I was just… thinking about life while I ate dinner.”Cassandra laughed softly as she sat down across from him, her giggle easing the tightness that had built up all night. “A big problem about lamb chops, huh?”“Feels more like a regular meal while my thoughts drift away.” Raider leaned closer and spoke in a teasing tone. “But I
