“What are you doing? Let me down. Leave me!” Lilith shouted and punched his back.
“Stop it!” Blaze warned her through gritted teeth. He tightened his hold around her butt.
“Get your filthy hands off my butt. Let me down, now!” Lilith snapped.
She violently swung her legs and punched his back again. Fear trickled through her when nothing she did worked. He wasn’t fazed at all. What was he made of, stone? Lilith thought.
“Help, help me!” Lilith cried for help.
Blaze clenched his jaw and continued walking in the direction of his mansion. Lilith’s shouts began ringing in his ears and head.
It not only annoyed Blaze. Bash whined. His sensitive ears were being crushed to death by her screams. He wanted to get this done and over with just so he could withdraw to the back of Blaze’s mind and rest in peace.
Lilith frowned as he stopped in front of his mansion. The big front yard
Blaze closed the bedroom door before Lilith could say anything else. “Let me out!” Lilith banged on the door with her fists. Wincing, he jumped back. He went back to the pack border to erase Lilith’s scent but he noticed there wasn’t much since she didn’t smell like a werewolf anymore. She never stepped outside the pack territory, so she didn’t smell like a rogue either. Still, just to be on the safe side, he went through her belongings and pulled one of her clothes. He threw it outside the pack borders. If his father ordered anyone to check whether she left, they would be able to track her scent going in that direction. Blaze knelt down on all fours and using his wolf instinct, he cautiously checked his surroundings. He stood up when he found nothing amiss. He gathered some dried up soil from the ground and rubbed it all over her luggage to hide her scent. Her scent was more prominent on her bag. He needed to make sure that he
“Why must I sleep here?” Lilith asked with her hand still lingering on the door knob.She took a step back when Blaze got up. She stayed quiet and watched as he searched through his wardrobe before pulling something. She frowned at the thing in his hands when he neared her.“W-What are you doing?” Lilith’s voice faltered.Without saying anything, he handcuffed Lilith’s left wrist to his right one.Blaze challengingly raised an eyebrow at her.Lilith’s next words died in her throat. She couldn’t believe he would handcuff her let alone have handcuffs in his wardrobe. What does he even do with that? Lilith thought.“You can’t leave. You must sleep here.” Blaze sat her back on the bed before sitting back on the blanket beside the bed.Lilith struggled but ended up hissing in pain.Blaze glared at her and yanked her towards him.Lilith gulped as she stared righ
Blaze thought about Lilith at his house. He hadn’t noticed that his grip had substantially tightened on the door knob until he heard his father getting up from behind him. “What’s wrong?” His father asked. “Nothing, I’ll go meet Trevor.” Blaze replied and pulled the office door open. “Wait.” His father spoke up before Blaze could leave the office. Blaze had to fight the growl that threatened to leave his throat as he turned back around to glance at his father. His wolf nervously started pacing in his mind. “I know you couldn’t banish that girl because we weren’t here but now, you can start taking up such responsibilities.” Alpha Cole stated. Blaze simply nodded and he was dismissed. He sighed quietly to himself as he stepped out in the hallway. Without wasting another second, Blaze stormed out of the pack house. He ignored everyone as he rushed down the spiral stairs and back to his house. He barely paid attention to th
Lilith humphed and stood up. She was done trying to escape. She felt somehow safe now that Katherine knew she was being kept here.She needed some food. She was starving. She did not eat anything yesterday and the day before, she only had breakfast.This was the first time she stayed hungry for so long. If she had her wolf, there was no way she would have been able to miss any lunch or dinner time. Her wolf would have killed her if she did not quench her hunger.Thinking about Lucy, Lilith felt her heart tightened in discomfort. She missed Lucy’s quirky remarks and childish tantrums.She still couldn’t believe that Lucy died. She refused to accept her death. Tears started to well up in her eyes, but she tipped her chin up and smiled.She refused to cry or complain even though she has never felt this defeated. Her parents didn’t raise a weakling or a whiner. She would have to keep her head up and find a reason to keep going.
Lilith has been helping Katherine around the house for the past three days. She enjoyed her company. Whenever Katherine came by, she would recount everything that has been happening around the pack. In a sense, Lilith felt like she was still living here, among her people. She didn’t feel as estranged as this house was when she was alone or with Blaze. Katherine stayed true to her words. Alpha Cole was still unaware of Lilith’s presence on the Blood Moon pack grounds. Lilith was relieved and pleased when she heard a familiar knock at the front door.Ever since Katherine entered his house that day, Blaze remembered to lock the doors before leaving. He also told Katherine to do a different rhythmic knock instead of ringing the door bell so that Lilith would know who was at the door. He didn’t want someone else to stumble upon Lilith. He was not ready to go through the torture of wondering what would happen if his betrayal was discovered and what his father
Lilith couldn’t hold her tears anymore. Now that a few of them managed to escape, she couldn’t hold anything back anymore. They have been waiting to break free. Tears that reminded her of the dramatic turn her life took when she turned eighteen, her new rank within the pack, her banishment and above everything else, the respect that the pack members had for her drastically changing into nothing but disgust and scorn. She really tried to pull through everything thrown her way but she wasn’t strong enough to keep up the façade and the walls which she had built around herself. They were slowly cracking open. She covered the sob that slipped passed her lips. Her fingertips dug into the skin of her cheeks. She never wanted to cry in front of Blaze. She thought about asking him to get out but that would only enrage him more. It also didn’t look like her words would make any difference on him. Blaze wasn’t in the right condition to think straight with
Blaze’s thoughts were a mess as he speedily treaded back to the pack house. His wolf was set on one thing until he could get himself to calm down. That was to keep Lilith safe and anything after that could wait. Watching as this strong woman that had built herself as one hell of a confident person break into a fragile porcelain in his arms, Blaze couldn’t allow himself to rest assured until he got this new threat out of his way and away from Lilith. He was ready to do anything to possibly put her back together, to get her to feel safe and comfortable like she has been whenever Katherine was around the house these past few days. Every time he thought back on what just happened, the feeling of her weight falling on him, the agony in her cries and the weak hold she had on him… Blaze wouldn’t be able to calm down until he removed that fear from Lilith. All that was left was that familiar warmth radiating from everywhere she had been pressed against him. While his
Blaze found Lilith pacing in the living room when he got back. On hearing him, her head whipped around in his direction. “I met Jayden. He said he won’t say anything.” Blaze said as he approached her. His voice sounded monotone. It lacked any emotions which Lilith could use to figure out whether his encounter with Jayden was as smoothly as he was displaying. Blaze’s stoic behavior unnerved Lilith. She refused to believe that a person could be this unaffected. He couldn’t be this indifferent. “So, he saw me.” Lilith whispered. He saw me. These three words kept replaying in her mind. Words which caused all of the nerves she had just let go of to return in a blink of an eye. The hair on the back of her neck stood as seconds passed.“Don’t tell me you trust him.” Lilith voiced out her doubts. She remembered the maddening fire in Jayden’s eyes the last time they had met. That was one of the worries still spinning in her mind. She tried to ignore the tur
