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
His lips touched hers.How could a touch so soft, so barely there, be so wonderful? Lilith thought.He wasn’t even kissing her. It was just his mouth against hers, light as a whisper.Yet, sparks, lots of them flared up, shooting through her like a blazing hot wire.She was being controlled by the mate bond, she realized. She pushed at his chest, forcing him to pull away.She fought the urge to touch her lips. They were still tingling.If a peck sent so much pleasure coursing through her, what would a real kiss feel like?Would she be able to stop herself if they had kissed?She trembled in fear when she noted she probably wouldn’t have been able to stop herself.“The next time I catch you trying to run away, you will be punished.” Blaze whispered into her ear, his lips brushing against her earlobe.Lilith couldn’t stop the whimper that escaped her mouth.Satisfied, Blaze relea
Blaze couldn’t stop Bash from taking in another lungful of her enticing scent which consumed them whole. Noticing something absurd, Lilith’s heart skipped a beat in nervousness as she took in the stiffness in Blaze’s body. His eyes were wide and already shifting from silver to blue. Lilith watched as panic flashed across Blaze’s face for just a second before his body acted, slouching in pain and letting out a little groan of frustration. The light hairs on the skin of his arm all stood straight. His next exhale came with a slight shake, head slowly turning away from Lilith. He fisted his hands. The shards of glass he was holding crushed and dug into his flesh. Blood soon dripped across his fingers and spilled onto the ground, sending the crimson liquid down to stain the tiled floor at his feet. The scene in front of Lilith sent her insides twisting in a different manner she was used to, making the gasp taking over her sound like a panicked sob. Sh
