LOGINDELILAH By evening, I was in the healer's cabin with Vivian after we took the young acolyte to get treated. I paced down the hallway, fuming with rage as I watched each and every wound Olivia patched up at my insistence in one of the healing rooms. It was extremely rare for incidents of rape to occur in packs, especially since every woman always found their mate who would protect and take care of them. But priestess were different. We only had our wolves and our magic to rely on, but even then, we had always been well protected by the pack because of our devotion to the moon goddess. We were considered sacred and pure, revered by all. But unfortunately, some people did not share the same opinion as the rest. That's why once in a while, we were often harassed by some scumbags. This kind of troubles were the reason why we were often told not to leave the Moon Temple lands unless necessary. Who would have thought that someone would dare harm one of my people?Thirty minutes later,
DELILAHMy chest tightened when I heard his words. He was standing right in front of me, finally offering a solution after watching me getting harassed by the pack for so long. The pain and anger of his abandonment were so fresh in my mind that it was taking all my strength to restrain my wolf from lunging for his throat. He was supposed to be at my corner, as my alpha and my childhood friend. But instead, he nearly sent me to my death after forcing me to take that Moon Vow.I let out a small breath while suppressing my emotions. It would do me no good to disrespect my alpha, especially with the presence of his elders hiding behind the trees."Thank you for your offer, Alpha Caspian, but I would prefer to solve my problems alone," I declined, my voice polite yet distant. "If that's all you wish to speak about, then I would take my leave-"Caspian caught my arm before I could walk past him. He seemed frustrated and pissed when he looked at me. "Damn it, Delilah. Can't you just wait and
DELILAHJust when I was about to pull away, Viktor wrapped his arm around my waist to trap me against his body. His mouth immediately captured mine again, claiming me with a kiss that was rough and possessive. I could feel his hunger, his need...but it was more than that. It felt a marking. Like he was trying to claim me. “Mine,” he growled against my lips, his voice breaking slightly as he tightened his grip on my waist, molding my soft body against his hard one. “Only mine.”My body felt like it was fire. Deep down, I could hear a voice in my mind trying to warn me of something, but the truth was that I was far too gone to understand it. All I could think about was him, his hands roaming down my curves, his mouth dominating mine without any effort. He slowly dragged his mouth down my jaw, pressing a path of rough kisses towards my shoulder as his hands moved higher to bunch a handful of fabric, as if trying to get my dress off me. Alarm bells rang in my mind when I realized what
DELILAH I arrived at the orphanage the next morning with Viktor at my side, the air thick with a tension I could not quite name. The moment my eyes landed on the building, my steps slowed.The vines had grown.What had been a creeping infestation the day before had now become something far more aggressive. Thick, dark tendrils coiled around the walls, crawling up the stone like veins pulsing with rot. They twisted over windows and doorframes, their surfaces slick and faintly glistening, as though alive in the most unnatural way.A frown pulled at my lips.“This is worse,” I murmured.Viktor said nothing, but I felt his gaze on me. When I glanced at him, I caught the sharp edge of his attention, watchful and tense, like he expected me to do something reckless. Like reaching out and touching the vines.I rolled my eyes. As much as they called to my curiosity, I knew better.Instead, I folded my arms and looked back at the building. “Did you evacuate the others?”He was silent at first,
DELILAH As Vivian and I returned to the car waiting to take us to the Moon Temple, Viktor suddenly caught up with us. He grabbed my arm and spun me around just when Vivian got into the backseat of the car. "Wait a minute, Delilah," he growled. "We need to talk."The seriousness in his voice made me tense, but I still forced myself to turn around. He waited until the door closed before taking another step further. I clenched my fists hard to suppress my urge to snap at him for intruding in my personal space. A part of me was frustrated that he still affected me like this, but my stubborn pride was unwilling to let him see it. "I need you to keep that vision a secret," he murmured, his voice low enough for only us to hear. "We can't let anything disrupt Caspian's upcoming wedding."I bristled at his words immediately I heard them, planting my hands on my hips. "And why can't I tell him?"Viktor looked annoyed by my defiant attitude, but he let out a faint exhale, like he was despera
DELILAH Dear solid moon, it hurt. Everyone knew that young pups had very, very sharp teeth and claws. Since they were still learning how to retract them and leaning towards their human side, they often made mistakes. At least, that's what I thought until I saw his eyes. He had crimson eyes, just like Viktor. My eyes widened as I stared down at the child who still had his teeth deep in my arm. He looked so tiny and fragile, that it made my heart hurt. The dark fumes coming out of him was exactly the same one that had eroded the three pregnant mothers back in the healer's cabin. At the same time, Viktor, who came to find me, came to a panicked crash when he saw the scene. "Delilah!" He roared, his voice tinged with panic. "Get away from him! He's corrupted!"I forced myself to lift my second hand to stop him from taking another step. The last thing I needed was him scaring off the poor child and making things worse. He simply let out a low growl, unwilling to obey me in the sli
DELILAH We barely had enough time to respond when the man suddenly groaned in pain and then there was silence. Viktor emerged from the darkness, dusting his hands after dumping the man's unconscious body behind the trees. My heart lurched in my chest after picking up the scent that lingered on his
VIKTORI leaned into my chair, combat boots splayed on the mahogany desk as I glanced at the large TV in front of me. The air in the room was tense and oppressive as I stared at the faces of my Grand Council elders, each one filled with fear and unease. They had every right to be scared right now,
VIKTORThere was only one way to reach the Sacred Forest from the Vyrclaw Pack. The path behind the alpha's mansion. That was why Delilah and I had to wait until night time before we snuck around the pack lands. The security was tight, but it was nothing but child's play in my eyes after Kytiri g
DELILAHMy skin prickled with fear as Viktor shoved me behind him, keeping his eyes and ears sharp on the movements of the forest. A cloud had eclipsed the moon, plunging us into darkness but we were still able to see properly because of our extraordinary eyesight. Viktor moved like a predator, pl
