LOGINVIKTORThis was bullshit. I was stuck here, witnessing some stupid ceremony when all I wanted to do was go home. Lately, my wolf had been getting more erratic than usual so I had no choice but to confine myself. But Caspian's relentless requests gave me no choice but to attend. He wanted my attendance so it would attract other packs' investments to the pack. So here I was. I watched Caspian sitting a platform lower than me, dressed in green and black attire with the insignia pin of the Vyrclaw Pack place there. He looked more of the alpha than me as he sat with a upright and intimidating aura. A yawn nearly escaped me at the sight. Soon, a young man stepped away from the crowd as per Keith's command. He was a tall, lanky man with dark hair. He shared the same features with his father, but his eyes had a soft glint that lowered people's guards. However, there was something about him that made my wolf snarl in contempt. Unlike other people, I often relied on his initiation more.
DELILAH 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
VIKTORI caught Delilah before she could even fall to the ground. Seeing her unconscious body in my arms made my chest tighten with panic, so I instantly picked her up in a bridal carry and carried her out of the infirmary chamber of the Moon Temple. I stepped into sunlight, I hurried into the car
VIKTORI thought it was a lie at first, some kind of ploy to discourage me from my vow to mate with her.But as soon as I stepped into the room and sensed the dark, looming aura around him. My hands were clenched so tight that I almost felt my bones pop. Ever since I left my royal quarters, my tho
DELILAHThe entire forest was silent.As soon as my wolf steadied herself, her paws stomped on the rocky ground underneath her. She lifted her head to the moon and released a howl that echoed throughout the entire forest. The snakes immediately recoiled at the sound, retreating to the shadows but s
DELILAH I tried not to think about the fact that I still hadn't gotten up from his lap. I should made a move. I should have said something. But there was no way he was going to let me up, except when he wanted to and I was too enthralled by the hard muscles underneath me. Viktor, on the other ha
