Lillith was still on the floor when the door opened. She looked up to see a few maids walking into the room with bathing and cleaning materials. She pushed herself to her feet and ignored the looks of disgust they gave to her. But she didn't care. She had gone through worse with Leon so this was nothing compared to it. "The King has asked for us to clean you up and dress you up," One of the maids who seemed to be their leader said before coming to stand before her with a disdainful look. She scrutinized Liliith's body and shook her head, huffing in displeasure. "Go into the bathroom and undress," Then she snapped her fingers at the maid who all rushed towards her. Knowing fully well that she was going to be scrubbed terribly hard by these maids as this wasn't the first time they were doing it, she braced up for the pain she was going to step out of the bathroom with. And just as she had thought, she was scrubbed hard. The maids didn't care. They pulled and
Lillith stood there in shock, not wanting to believe what had just happened. Did he just kill that guard? This was new, she thought. Killing a guard for disrespecting her? Fucking new. When he came back out, his hands had been washed and his chest left bare. He probably discarded his shirt somewhere and she found it appealing. He was a virile male. Her eyes lingered on every muscle of his body. He had prominent abs and when he raised his arm, she swallowed thickly. No, she wasn't meant to be attracted to such a man as him. He was a beast; evil and cruel and had hit her times without number. She closed her eyes. No, she couldn't be attracted to him. His character but not his body mattered and he had a bad one at that. "Open your eyes," His voice came in a commanding tone. Lillith had no option than to do as he had commanded. Her eyes flew open and she noticed he was standing close to her. The smell of blood that had hit her nose earlier on was
Lillith had always fantasized about the last sex she had. It was very different from this. The man she had had sex with before Leon was gentle with her. He touched her like she was a piece of priceless jewelry but laying on the bed now, she felt like she was just being rammed into and once Leon was done, he pulled away from her and pulled up his trousers. Lillith closed her eyes and a tear slipped down her cheek. Was this the life she was going to live? A life of suffering in every area of her life? She had done all these just to keep her brother alive and as much as she was happy that he was alive and fine, she hated it here. When she finally opened her eyes, she found Leon standing over her. She sat up and began to put her dress in order. "Get out." And so did she. As soon as she got to her room, she fell into her bed and burst into tears. She felt a bit of bruise between her thighs so she just lay in bed, sobbing and wishing this was all a
"Doesn't she look beautiful?" Delilah said to Leon who kept staring at her. "You should warm up to her, you know? You're going to need her to be on your side for all these to happen because if you make her hate you, she will work against you," "She can't do that," Leon said firmly. "I'd kill her before she ever does," Delilah chuckled. "Everything doesn't always go as you wish, Leon. Just listen to me. You need to be nice to her. Protect her from these people. Treating her this way would bring her at her lowest point and it'd be easy for her to be manipulated by the people who don't want you ruling this pack," "But I'm already married, right? We're going to have a child soon. I consummated the marriage already," "And does that make you think they will relent? You joke, son. You joke. Just think about what I told you, okay?" Leon nodded but he was no longer listening to Delilah. His eyes were on Lillith who seemed quite confused as she navigated her way around t
Lillith watched the lady stand to her feet and walk away from her. Sighing, she leaned back against the wall. Nothing made sense. Not what she said and whatever she was experiencing. It didn't make sense. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead before deciding to stand to her feet and go back to her room. There was no need to be there anyway. Once she got into her room, she sat for a while and stared out of the windows, into the night skies. Somewhere, her brother was there, living and not dead and that alone made her smile. If she could keep him alive while being here, maybe she could get used to this place. She finally stood to her feet and climbed into her bed, going to sleep as soon as her head came in contact with the pillow. Leon excused himself from the men when he saw Delilah come into the hall from the other door. He stopped before her and lowered his head. "I saw her leave through that place. Is she okay?" Delilah tilted her head to the s
As soon as breakfast was over, Lillith exited the dining room. She had plans ahead of what was to come later tonight. So instead of going back to her room, she began to walk around the palace, taking note of the areas where guards were stationed. If she was going to leave without getting caught, then she had to learn everything now. People who passed by her pushed her roughly to the point that she fell to the grin and grazed her knee. Pushing herself to her feet, she cleaned herself and continued. It was only a matter of hours. In no time, she'd be gone. She began to walk towards the gardens. She stopped under her window and studied the area. There roofs she could climb down from. Besides, she was quite good at jumping down from great heights. But she had to do that discreetly as Leon's study was directly below her room's window. She stood there for a while, studying the whole place before nodding in approval and walking away. Just as she entered the palace, she
Lillith stopped in when she got to the front of a stream. She steadied her breath and fell to the floor to take some water into her mouth. She had been running for about an hour and it told on her body. In no time, she regained her strength but decided to sit there for a while. She knew she was safe and that was because she had crossed the boundary into somewhere else. She didn't know this place but something told her no one lived here. Pushing herself up to her feet, she started walking by the stream, taking note of the trees that covered the whole area and rocks. Nocturnal animals went about their duties and she heard a squirrel scurry past her before running up a tree. She was in the middle of nowhere. She stopped in the middle of the woods and began to look around. She was in a dilemma. She was safe but lost. Being lost was not as bad as being in the danger of being found by Leon's men but she has to find somewhere safe from any sort of attacker.
Lillith was awoken by the sound of voice. She tried to turn, thinking she was in her bed and the voices were coming out of her window back at Red Lily Pack. She tried to toss but felt her body was hard to move. She cracked her eyes open and realized she was held bound by a net of meshed jute ropes. She struggled and tried to free herself but it was futile. "Stay still up there!" A voice snapped. "If you're not careful, you'd cut yourself," Lillith looked down from above. Two men stood underneath the net she was in. The man who had just spoken turned back to his friend and said something to him. The other man nodded and swiftly climbed the tree. Lillith watched him in awe. She was good at climbing but this man was exceptional. How was he able to get to the top of the tree in seconds? "Brace up!" The man said and his claws jutted out. The ropes cut immediately and she fell to the ground with a thud, hitting her side and writhing in pain. Her side hur
