Blaze swiftly caught Lilith as she fainted right into his arms.
“Lilith?” Blaze shook her unconscious body.
He panicked when she simply lay still and unmoving.
“Lilith,” Blaze spoke quickly through his breaths, cupping her face in his hands.
No response, not even a single muscle of hers reacted.
Her body was completely limp, her breaths quiet yet quicker than normal.
Anger began to slowly surface as he closely observed her condition.
“Dammit Lilith, open your eyes!” Blaze partially begged.
No! He needed to control his anger. This wasn’t a time to get angry.
“Katherine!” Blaze called out alarmingly.
Noting the agitation in Blaze’s voice, Katherine was there within seconds.
“Dear lord, what happened to my child?” Katherine quickly reached for Lilith.
Blaze reluctantly moved out of her way and handed Lilith over to her.
He knew it would best to let Katherine check on her. She would k
Raine gave Blaze a sympathetic look once he was done recounting everything to her.Her eyes widened in disbelief after a moment of processing everything in her mind.“Wait! So, you kidnapped Lilith?” Raine queried as she bit down on her lower lip to hold in her amusement.“Everyone will be shameless during critical moments.” Blaze pointed out.“That’s not the way to do things, Blaze.” Raine said in between chuckles.Usually Raine was the one shouting all the time, not without any reason though. She knew when to stay silent and when to start yelling at Blaze for things he did wrong.Blaze would simply ignore her though and this time as well, he remained quiet and waited till she was done nagging him.This time around though, she kept talking and talking.His torso fell forward, supporting himself with his elbows on his thighs as he drew his hands down his face in frustration.Blaz
“I don’t want to lose you. I’ll make you accept the mate bond between us.” Blaze declared. His voice, deep and gravelly with undisguised want, scraped over her.“Whatever’s happening between us. One minute we’re fighting and the next…” His voice trailed off.“Last night… it wasn’t only your heat or the full moon. There was something else. You can’t deny that feeling, Lilith. You need to accept it.” He murmured into her ear.His breath grazed her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.Blaze’s breath caught when he heard Lilith sniffling.He pulled back with a sad smile to give her some space but there was disappointment in his eyes.“You avoid me, but you care for me… You hate me, but you don’t really hate me. I…I just don’t get it. Do you really feel nothing for me?” He queried.The tears start again and bef
What the fuck just happened? Blaze thought.‘She likes us, you dimwit!’ Bash chimed in while stirring around gleefully in Blaze’s mind.‘She likes me, not you.’ He teased his wolf.‘We’ll see who she likes more.’ Bash teased back.‘Challenge accepted!’ He shook his head at his own idiocy but he would never back down from a challenge.Blaze joined Lilith in bed. He lay down beside her before turning on his side to face her. She had her hands curled under her right cheek.With his eyes locked on hers, they both fell into a comfortable silence.Feeling the after-effects of the injection, Lilith’s eyelids grew heavier a while later.Blaze rubbed her arm and waited for her to fall asleep but he ended up dozing off.Lilith bit her lower lip to stop the chuckle fighting its way up her throat when he simply fell asleep.She took this time to stare at his fa
Katherine brought us some food from the pack house, some spicy chicken sandwiches, some French fries, and some lemonade. Raine actually asked her to make these for Lilith since she needed to get better.Blaze didn’t get how a piece of strawberry cake could make Lilith feel better. He didn’t get one. Katherine told him that it was for her and not for him which sucked!They ate their lunch quicker than usual considering it was way past the time they should have eaten something.Blaze finished first, setting his plate on the coffee table and watching her finish off her last couple of bites.There was a difference in the way she was holding herself.He never noticed it until now.Her shoulders were always straight.Whether she was standing, laying or even leaning forward while having food downstairs, her shoulders were always back as if she was always on guard around him.But now as she hovered over her plate, scraping
Lilith shook her head before chuckling.“Do you mind letting Blaze come through?” She asked Bash politely.Bash whined but reluctantly let Blaze get back into control.‘That was the shittiest remark I’ve ever heard in my entire life.’ Blaze commented on Bash’s weird and kinky remark.‘Whatever.’ His wolf growled unsatisfactorily.“Sorry about that.” Blaze apologized on Bash’s behalf.“It’s okay.” She said with a nod.“Mind if we lay down?” He slowly asked her, afraid of what her response would be like.Her response was… better than he thought it would be.She surprisingly pulled him until they were both laying down, his chest to her back as she put his arm around her waist.He pressed his back against the back of the couch and pulled her closer, his hand held firmly over her stomach.“Don’t you
The next week went by with both of them keeping their distance yet they both repetitively lost against the mate bond, sneaking into rooms at night just to cuddle and sleep next to each other.The first night Blaze sneaked into her room and bed, he knew that he was testing his limits since Lilith warned him that she wanted to take things slow between them but he couldn’t resist it.He couldn’t sleep alone in his room when he could feel Lilith shifting around in her bed trying to sleep.Blaze’s wolf needed to feel Lilith. He couldn’t stay away from her despite knowing that touching an untouchable was a sin, he couldn’t help but sin again and again.He was so ready to commit this sin.His dilemma was entirely erased when she unconsciously hugged him to sleep.The next night, it was her turn to sneak into his room.At first, Blaze froze in surprise when he felt her presence inside his room.But, he rel
Blaze’s wolf stirred anxiously. His antics made him zone out on his father’s explanation regarding an important paper. Alpha Cole sighed angrily when he noticed Blaze’s absent-mindedness. His father snapped his fingers in front of his face to get his attention. “What’s wrong?” He narrowed his eyes into calculative slits at Blaze. “How many times should I tell you to listen well when I’m talking to you?” He asked, using his commanding voice on Blaze. Blaze felt the blood rushing to his head and heard his own pulse beating in his ear. He felt his hatred level for him rising. “Blaze, look at me. Are you even listening to me?” His eyes flashed dangerously, reminding Blaze who he was in the pack, the Alpha. Blaze hissed in pain when he felt a scalding pain spread across his arm. The sharp ache shook his whole body. ‘Something is wrong with Lilith,’ Bash exclaimed alarmingly. Blaze couldn’t think about anythin
Joining Katherine in the kitchen, Lilith’s nose tingled with the mingling scents of the coffee in her mug on the table and the herbs Katherine was using to prepare breakfast. “Good morning.” Lilith breathed deep, the smell of damp earth and evergreen tickling her nose as she opened the kitchen window. “Good morning.” Katherine frowned at Lilith’s weird actions. Lilith’s eyes immediately shot open when she sensed rogues lurking behind the house. A strange anger built up within her at the familiar scent of rogues. “There are rogues.” She declared. Katherine froze when she heard Lilith’s words. She was confused. How come she didn’t feel anything? Closing her eyes and using her wolf instincts to check on her surroundings, she gasped. “There really are rogues out there.” Katherine voiced out. “Quick, you need to warn the pack members.” Lilith stated when Katherine kept staring at her in surprise. “How did you
