Chapter 12:Lilian POV:As soon as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the bright light that was streaming in through the windows. "Oh, crap. I forgot to close the windows last night," I muttered under my breath.it was already the morning, I sat up on my bed and rubbed my eyes, trying to remember what had happened the previous night. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. I had cried myself to sleep, and it had been a rough night. I didn't even know when sleep had taken me, so much I had cried almost all night long for about three hours, I felt filthy.I had to get up and get ready for the day, though.I got to my feet, slipped on my slippers, and walked over to the door. I locked it quickly, knowing all too well that Lucas had the unfortunate habit of opening doors without knocking. I wanted some privacy today.I felt disgusting, so I undressed myself , I needed a good bath .After washing and getting dressed, I looked at myself in the mirror. "Ugh, I look like a mess," I grumbled. The

Chapter 14Lilian POV:Just then I leave the store, I spotted an old woman stumbling ahead. Concerned, I hurried over and said, "Excuse me, ma'am. Are you alright? Can I help you?"The old woman looked up at me with a glare in her eyes. It was the witch who had looked at me with disdain the day of my arrival, when I was in Eli-Dad's room "I don't need your help, young one. Especially not from someone like you."Confused, I asked, "What do you mean 'someone like me'? Is there something wrong?"She scoffed, "You should know, shouldn't you? I was the witch who took care of Eli-Dad before you came along. And I can assure you, I never liked you."Taken aback, I tried to defend myself. "I didn't mean to replace you. I was only here to help Eli-Dad heal. I promise, once my task is completed, I will leave."The witch refused to listen and pushed me away using her fallen scarf. With a devilish grin, she said, "You think that's all you have to worry about? Oh, my dear, you now have something m

Chapter 16:Lilian POV:I conducted chemical tests on the nitrate and observed that it had been tampered with. Based on this evidence, I concluded that it was undoubtedly a criminal act. Drew, the unpleasant individual, had previously vowed to make my life miserable. Thus, I strongly suspected his involvement. To ensure the safety of the remaining medication I had available for Eli-Dad, I disposed of it, as it was highly probable that it too had been sabotaged. Following that, I proceeded to Lucas' apartment to discuss the matter with him.Furious at Drew's actions, I decided to confront Lucas about it. Determined, I disposed of the remaining medication intended for Eli-Dad in case it had also been sabotaged, which was probably the case , and I headed straight to Lucas' apartment. As I arrived, I noticed that his door was wide open and without hesitation, I entered without knocking.Lucas was completely absorbed in his TV show, completely oblivious to my presence. I cleared my throat

Chapter 18:Without warning, the guards burst into my room and grasped onto me, their strong hands dragging me out forcefully.I was alarmed and confused. "What's going on?" I quizzed the guards haltingly, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand. "Where are you taking me?""Quiet, woman," one of the six guards barked sternly, grabbing me by the arm. "You'll find out soon enough."I tried to resist, but it was futile. They were too strong and too numerous."What's happening?!" I cried in confusion, my voice trembling with fear."Stay quiet and come with us," one of the guards commanded, his voice cold and devoid of emotion.I frantically looked around, still in my pajamas, a transparent pink robe, feeling exposed and vulnerable. Panic raced through my mind as I futilely attempted to resist their overpowering strength."Please, tell me where you're taking me!" I pleaded, my voice desperate and filled with uncertainty.The guards exchanged a glance, their faces remaining stoic. They ign

Chapter 20:Lilian POV:I was completely disconnected from the outside world, fully focused on my mission. Eli-Dad had miraculously regained his ability to stand and was considering leaving. Gently, I assisted him in getting up and encouraged him to take a few steps, but to our amusement, he tumbled back onto his bed. We couldn't help but burst into laughter, relieved that he hadn't hurt himself.As we joyfully chuckled, Eli-Dad started a conversation, and my heart swelled with happiness knowing that his recovery meant my freedom. Finally, I would be able to leave Moonlit Groves Pack and return to the human world and reunite with my triplets and my fiancé Damien. It was a moment of pure bliss.But suddenly, the door abruptly swung open, and Lucas stormed in with a grave expression etched across his face. My instincts immediately told me that something was terribly wrong. Suppressing my hatred for him, I set it aside and mustered the courage to ask him, "Lucas, what's happened?"Much t
