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
The next day during breakfast, Blaze noted that Lilith wasn't as cautious as she had been around him. But, she was still not quite comfortable with him around the house. This annoyed his wolf and he wouldn’t stop rambling about this. Blaze groaned when Bash’s constant bickering prevented him from completing the paper works he had to hand over by this evening. He kept forcing Blaze to think of something to make Lilith feel better until Blaze caved in.Blaze mind linked Katherine. 'Can you tell Lilith to come meet me in my office?' 'What are you up to?' Katherine's question came out sounding suspicious. 'Nothing! I'm... can you just tell her, please?' Blaze was slightly miffed seeing Katherine's suspicion of him. 'Okay.' Bash gave a small whine of triumph after hearing Katherine's reply. Blaze pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against and stood straighter once he saw Lilith coming down the hallway to meet him in front of his office a few minutes lat
The overwhelming feeling of panic and dread consumed Lilith as she ran for her life.The panic coursing through her felt different this time. It was deeper in the way it surrounded her. It lured her awareness of everything except what it deemed as a threat, the six pairs of paws chasing her.She begged her legs to move faster. She could hear their ragged breathing mixed with their frustrated growls getting louder and closer.All at once, she felt a forceful jerk against the back of her legs as if one of the three wolves following her directly rammed into her from behind.She found herself falling. She abruptly met the ground. A painful cry of agony left her mouth.She felt sharp claws digging into her back, tearing her shirt as she tried to get away. They harshly pulled her from the spot that she was in, a snarl sounding close to her ears.The sudden action caused a sharp yelp from her before she was pulled into something hard, the hold now
Lilith pushed Bash away and with trembling legs, rushed inside the bathroom.She locked the bathroom door.With her back pressed against the door, she tried to control her uneven breath. It was just Bash. It was just Bash. She repeatedly thought.Blaze forced Bash into submission and shifted back into his human form.‘Something is wrong with Lilith. She needs us.’ Bash refused to let Blaze walk out.‘You scared her. That’s what is wrong with her.’ Blaze scolded him before blocking him.Lilith walked downstairs after she had taken a bath. She felt fresh and ready to face yet another day imprisoned in Blaze’s mansion.A faint smile crossed her lips when she saw Katherine dusting the couches.“What happened? Is something wrong?” Lilith asked Katherine whose face appeared unsettled.Blaze sat upright to check on Katherine too once he heard Lilith.“News about your
