Lilith woke up feeling starved.
She realized that due to the stress of the annual ball, she hadn’t eaten anything yesterday. And starving wasn’t something any part of her wanted to be feeling again.
So, she idly snacked on this small bowl of assorted fruits and nuts which Katherine got her while waiting for Blaze who had disappeared into his closet a while ago after he’d brushed his teeth.
She had woken up before him, feeling fresh and ready to start the day.
She had to admit though that last night wasn’t the way she’d imagined it to go.
While he was gone, all sort of scenarios cropped up in her mind. It was so stressful that she had found herself walking around in his room, unable to sit still for long.
Yet, there was a part of her which believed in Blaze. And, that part of her was stronger than the little demons fighting to show her otherwise in her mind.
She was caught by surprise when she saw him comi
Lilith tried to stay monotone. Well, that was the case until Trevor tripped over his own legs while walking further inside the house. She had to force herself to stifle a laugh. She had never seen a werewolf trip before. Blaze luckily grabbed the back of his shirt and prevented him from completely falling. She stole a glance at Blaze. He had his lips pursed out as if he had something going on in his mind. Seeing the deep folds that had appeared in the middle of his eyebrows, she figured it was probably about yet another person learning about her being here.The furious lines between his brows were short-lived when he felt her stare on him. Meeting her eyes, he smiled reassuringly. ~~~~~~~~~“That’s why you’ve been acting so weird lately… it all started after the mating season.” Trevor stated, his words coming out one after another but slowly as if he was thinking back to Blaze’s strange behavior for the past few weeks. Blaze held Lilith’s hand, his thumb running circles around
Lilith's eyes widened in surprise once she caught sight of the faint love bite right beside Blaze's mark on her neck in her reflection on the mirror."Blaze," her voice squeaked out, nothing coming out of her mouth. Clearing her throat before trying again, she yelled out his name. This time, her voice came out sounding perfectly fine. Blaze came rushing inside her room, eyes alarmingly searching through the room for her. He calmed down slightly as he found her standing in front of the mirror."What's wrong?" He asked her while quickly closing the short distance between them to check on her."When did you do this?" She asked him, her voice low and dispirited as she pointed at the love bite. She never felt him kissing her on the neck to the point where she would get that red mark. "Oh that?" Blaze breathed out with a snicker. One which didn't sound amusing to Lilith at all. "Why did you do that? What would Katherine think?" She complained."Nothing! Just that we made love." He shr
Blaze growled as pleasure coursed through him.The sound of it sent a vibration up their bodies.Lilith’s fingers in his hair drove him insane.The way they would curl into fists, tugging at his hair each time she let out one of those gasps from his actions.Her other hand gripping his shirt and yanking him impossibly closer, their bodies clashing in the middle, sent his mind reeling.All the warmth radiating off of her, her taste, her scent and the smell of her skin blinded his senses enough where his wolf took that chance to make him half-shift.It was no longer about the love bite anymore.He’d already satisfied her curiosity regarding it and yet, here they were.Now, it was about their feelings, about that feeling they both had felt during the full moon. He needed to explore it. He wanted to get to the end of it just so he could know for sure what that feeling was.He leaned into her, kissing the sp
Lilith was reading when she found herself being seized up by something invisible.She struggled to get up.Forcing her mouth open, she tried yelling out for help but no such sound left her mouth.She ended up falling to the ground.Gripping her throat, she fought to breathe in some air.Her chest tightened.She felt her breath cutting short as the thing prying her of her life hardened around her chest.She didn’t hear the gurgling sound she was making as every single sound around her disappeared. In its place, a ringing sound pierced through her ears.She fisted her hands and held on to the book she still had in her hands.She tore through the pages, feeling the need to grab onto something solid when she blacked out.Only that she was still very much conscious.She just couldn’t breathe, talk, see nor hear.Right then, she remembered Patricia’s words even through her hazy thoughts.
When Lilith woke up, she found Katherine lying down beside her. She smiled before getting up as slowly as she could. It was easier now that she had her heightened senses back. She covered the old woman with the bed sheets before she went downstairs. She missed hearing the familiarity of every single sound echoing through the forest. All the wildlife running free through the forest, the birds chirping, the crashing of waterfall against the water down below and the leaves moving through the breezy wind. She closed her eyes and held out her arms by her sides. She listened in on every sound and took in a deep breath of the scents that accompanied it. She felt as if she was one of them. She pretended as if she was at the caves as she focused in on the sounds of the waterfall. She missed this and she missed her wolf more than anything. She missed running through the forest in her wolf form. She could still feel the slight tremor she had felt ear
“Who is she?” Lilith asked after finally mustering enough courage to hear the name of the she-wolf.“Lina from the Midnight pack, Alpha Julian’s sister.” Blaze said, sounding low and defeated. “I met her at the annual ball. She was fucking annoying.” He added, now sounding pissed.Lilith smiled in spite of the situation. She couldn’t help it. Blaze was right.She knew Lina from the Midnight pack. Lilith met her a few times whenever she had a meeting with the warriors of the Midnight pack. Lina always tried to interfere in things that didn’t concern her and was quite manipulative and arrogant.Simply said, Lina didn’t leave the best impression of herself the first time Lilith had met her in person.Lilith had decided right then and there that she hated Lina. Knowing that Alpha Cole chose such a person as the future Luna, disturbed her. Why would he choose Lina out of all the she-wolves that he could have chosen from?Blaze's next words answered the unexpected question that crossed her
“Blaze look, I’m telling you -” Lilith started laughing quietly when Blaze suddenly straddled her. “What are you d-doing?” She asked in between giggles.Blaze appeared determined as he pushed Lilith back until her back was pressed against the mattress. “I’m going to show you the consequences for being stubborn.” He said with a playful smirk as he leaned above her.Lilith gulped when she saw desire pooling his eyes.“W-Wait a minute,” Lilith pressed her palms on his chest, stopping him as she gazed right into his hooded gaze.Breathing hard, Blaze leaned back a little bit and stared at her, waiting to see what excuse she would come up with. Seeing the decisive look in his eyes, every hair on Lilith’s body stood up, aware of Blaze’s proximity.“Blaze, I think… we can talk about this later?” The question was so soft she hardly heard her voice over the shallow breaths that scalded her face as she begged him to keep this for another time.“Later?” Blaze frowned, confusion evident on his fa
Blaze stood on the podium beside his father as Beta Travis addressed the pack members, “We are here today to celebrate our future Alpha’s twenty-fifth birthday.”“It will be a night full of surprises. Not bad ones but pretty good ones.” Beta Travis added after a moment, making a few people from the crowd laugh noisily and gleefully.“I believe Alpha Cole has a few words to tell you.” Beta Travis turned around to look at Alpha Cole and gestured at him to come up front. Stepping forward, Alpha Cole stated, “I believe that it’s high time I pass on the Alpha title to my son. And, what’s more auspicious than this day?”Once he said that, silence took over the crowd until multiple whispers pierced through.“We accept Alpha Blaze as our Alpha.”“He’s deserving and righteous.”“He has always been faithful.”“Then, I present to you your new Alpha, Alpha Blaze.” Alpha Cole announced.“Hail to the new Alpha!” Beta Travis shouted with enthusiastic approval.Amidst the pack’s cheering, Blaze stoo
