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
Author's POVInside the warm and comfortable space of the Alpha's room, Raider was comfortably lying down wrapped in the soft sheets. His deep breaths created a peaceful and calm rhythm that filled the surrounding air, making the atmosphere very serene.Meanwhile, Cassandra slowly opened her eyes and woke up. She looked around the room with her bright eyes, making sure that the only sounds she could hear were the gentle breaths of her partner as he slept soundly.Very quietly she gently slipped out from under the warm covers of the bed, being very careful not to make any noise that might disturb him. As she stood up, the coldness of the floor sent a sudden shiver running through her body, making her feel a bit uncomfortable.The chilly draft in the room made her delicate gown wrinkle and flutter around her. She paused for a brief moment to look back at Raider who was lying there, his strong and powerful figure reminding her of the life they had built together.However, tonight that re
Author's POVRaider was standing in the middle of the bedroom which was not very bright as it was night. The light was low, making everything look a bit shadowy. His fists were tightly clenched, showing that he was really upset, and his jaw was tense and set in a firm line.Anger filled him intensely, almost like a fire spreading quickly. He fixed his intense stare on Cassandra as she came into the room. She walked in with an expression that looked careful and defensive, suggesting she was unsure of what might happen next.“Where have you been?” Raider demanded with his voice booming with anger and frustration. Each word he spoke was heavy with emotion.The soft warm glow of the moon struggled to break through the thick heavy atmosphere of tension that surrounded them, making it feel even more intense.Cassandra held her breath, feeling a cold dread creep around her body. “I... I went to the living room,” she said quietly with her heart pounding. “I just needed a moment to clear my he
