In the morning, Lilith was showered and felt a little more in control. Okay, not so much “in control” as she was still blissed out from how amazing Blaze had been in bed last night. It was more than just the physical pleasure, though. She felt like they have finally become one. The shower shut off and Blaze stepped out, wiping out any of her coherent thought. She’d seen him naked, but there was something about seeing him standing in her bathroom, water droplets navigating the peaks and valleys of his torso, his hair plastered back, his silver eyes framed by dark spiked lashes, which simply made her stop breathing. Staring at himself through the mirror, Blaze rubbed a hand over his jaw. “I need to shave.” “You look better like this. I like it this way.” Lilith found herself saying. Those deep silver eyes darkened as they roved over her towel-wrapped body. “I know.” Something strangely familiar stirred within her as butterflies fluttered in her belly. “Hand me a towel?” The urge
It’s been thirty minutes since Katherine had left. Bored and tired, Lilith sat down with a slouch on the couch. She helped Katherine bake some cupcakes for the pups after breakfast. It was fun but it was a lot of work. Katherine gave her two cupcakes, one for Blaze and one for her. But, Lilith decided to have hers after dinner, together with Blaze. With a jerk, Lilith held the jade pendant in her hand when it wobbled and glowed. That was unexpected. It scared the crap out of her. ‘Lilith, can you hear me?’ Patricia’s voice came through in her mind. ‘Patricia. Yes, I can hear you.’ Lilith replied. ‘How are you? I can feel you’ve got a lot on your mind.’ ‘I’m fine. I’ve just thinking about something.’ ‘Thinking about what?’ Patricia questioned, sounding genuinely curious. ‘I know you can foresee the future. I want to know. When will that war happen?’ Lilith held her breath as she waited for Patricia’s response. ‘I can foresee the nature’s mystery but every time, it just comes
Lilith felt paralyzed with fear, excitement and anxiety as she studied her hand. Her fingernails had elongated into claws. Were those really claws? Before they could both get over the fact that Lilith’s fingernails had turned into claws, the wounds on Lilith’s palms closed on their own. Right after, the claws receded back into her fingernails. Blaze wrapped an arm around Lilith’s waist comfortingly. He felt the need to hold onto his mate. He feared what this meant. Could it be a good thing or a bad thing? “W-What just happened?” Lilith questioned, her voice trembling. “How do you feel? Is it your wolf?” Blaze turned her around until she was facing him. He braced himself for her answer. He hoped that it wouldn’t be a bad thing. After all, she already got her enhanced senses back. The only feasible thing that could possibly happen after that was for her wolf to be revived. But, will it be as easy as he was thinking? “I can’t feel my wolf.” Lilith replied, sounding low-spirited.
“Lilith, please, just give me a moment. I’ll tell you the truth.” Blaze held her arms to stop her at an arm distance. “What?” She growled out. Blaze gazed into her aroused golden eyes as his wolf tried to connect with hers but alas. Bash couldn’t feel her at all. Bash gave a small whine, 'It’s all up to you.'It would be hard to convince her when she was in this state of mind, Blaze thought as he gulped. “Raine just lied to you. It’s not true -” He started. “You’re lying to me. I saw the way you looked at Raine. You were angry that she told me, weren’t you?” Lilith intervened, sounding furious. She had no control over her emotions. Her anger was getting the best out of her. Frowning, she rubbed her forehead as she tried to rein in her anger. At the same time, she noticed that her fingernails were back to normal. Warm fingers traced down the side of her cheek and reclaimed her attention. “I wasn’t angry at her because of that. She just caught me off guard.” “Caught you off guard
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Blaze’s broad hand shifted to the base of her spine. Lilith closed her eyes and took a steadying breath before slowly re-focusing on Blaze’s face. “I’m okay.” He stepped up onto the first step so they were face to face before lowering his forehead to hers. “If you don’t feel okay, let me know. I will ask Raine to drop by and give you a check-up.” Lilith shook her head gently and pulled away just far enough so she could meet his stare. “I’m fine.” With a nod, Blaze took her hands and lifted her fingers to his lips for a quick, hard kiss. “If you say so.” Impulse to reassure him drove Lilith to lean in and take his mouth in a quick kiss which made Blaze crave for more. But, Lilith pulled back with a chuckle.Settling his hands on her hips, Blaze turned her around and urged her up the two steps again. Lilith let him propel her forward. Together, they sat down on the couch to watch ‘The Sea Beast’ after browsing through the recent movies which have just
Blaze rolled over in time to see a naked ass – a very fine naked ass – disappear into his bathroom for the third day in a row.She’d stayed in his bedroom since their movie date. He’d gone to the pack house to do his work every morning. He was home earlier too. He was so smitten by her that he couldn’t bear to stay away from her for long.He was totally gone on her and loving every minute he was spending with her. There was no denying that. He now got what his mated friends meant when they used to talk about being with their destined mates.Speaking of minute, he glanced at the clock and winced. It was a few minutes after five. In the morning, no one should have to get up this damn early.Groaning, he flipped onto his back and flung an arm over his eyes to block the bathroom light. The disturbed air brought with it the faint hint of an enticing scent from her side of the bed.From her side of the bed, he thought. He liked how that sounded.He rolled over again, burying his face in her
This morning, Lilith woke up feeling a cold space beside her. Blaze had already left for the pack house. Judging how cold the empty space beside her was, Lilith could tell that it’s been an hour or so since he had left. Unlike the previous nights, Blaze just held her as she snuggled against him last night. They just lay in each other's arms. While Lilith felt soothing with him holding her, Blaze felt his wolf instantly calm down as soon as he had Lilith in his arms. With a faint and weak smile tugging at her lips, she got up and prepared herself for the day. The day that they both have been waiting for, was here. It was dreadful to even think about it but there was no escaping it now. Lilith would be introduced to the pack by tonight or perhaps by this evening. Yet, she wasn't as mentally and physically prepared to face the pack and her former Alpha.The same Alpha who banished her from the pack months ago and the same Alpha whose son dared defy him by keeping her here. She feared
Lilith's stomach launched itself into her throat as if it had been emergency ejected when the vampire's head turned towards the house. She swiftly spun around to hide from view. She gasped when her back ended up hitting the wall beside the window. The cold surface pressing against her back made it hard for her to think. She felt cold yet hot. She was afraid. She couldn’t avoid from stressing out when a vampire was watching the house. Anxiety made it much harder for her to articulate her thoughts. She started pacing around and gazed up at the clock to find that it was fifteen minutes past ten. If the vampires reached the pack at this time, they must have been scouting the pack borders from outside the territory since last night. How did no one notice them or sense them by the pack borders? How did they even manage to cross the pack borders? As long as Lilith could remember, those places were heavily guarded from each side. The pack always had more warriors guarding the south side
