Semua Bab Rejected By Alpha, Chased By Lycan King: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Delilah's POV:As soon as I got back to the hostel, like any other typical student, the panic kicked in. It all hit me in full swing that I was so behind on my studies. All those pending assignments and scheduled tests just never occurred to me while I was dealing with all that Asteria's shit.Adeline wanted to take a nap, so I grabbed my bag and made my way to the library in the hope of getting done with an assignment or two.Two hours in and I was done with only one. To get on with the second one, I needed to get help from some books. Getting up from the chair, I stretched my body and moved to the area of the bookshelves.Roaming through the aisles, I finally reached my desired shelve and was sifting through the books when all of a sudden the hair on the nape of my neck stood taller and a very familiar feeling rushed through my body.I stilled where I was and felt him standing behind me. The air between us zinged with electricity and my heart thudded loudly in my chest."Why are you

Delilah's POV:The next day went in a frenzy. The moment we woke up, everyone seemed busy and the pack mansion was buzzing with people as we were preparing for the arrival of members of the Vampires and Witches Councils respectively. As it was an official visit, Xee himself received the guests and an official meeting was held in his office which went longer than anyone had expected. After that, they collected the dead bodies of their people and bid us farewell.After noon, we all gathered in the pack ground for the funeral of two werewolves that were found dead in the Shadow Realm. Although Addy had warned me to stay away from the grieving families and not give away any hints of me being a Healer, I couldn't watch them in pain and do nothing about it. Every sob escaping them was nothing but a dagger in my heart. Yes, that's what being a Healer actually meant.Ignoring Addy's glares, I reached the mourning mothers of the deceased and hugged them tightly. But contrary to everyone else,

Delilah's POV:The next day, I was in the room with my head poking in the dozen books scattered over the study table. It was a weekend but I had a pile of work to do before the end of semester exams which weren't far away now. Right after breakfast, I returned to my room and got with the assignments.At about noon, I heard a light knock on the door and then it creaked open. I looked over my shoulder to find Xee standing in the doorframe with a tray balanced over his hand. As he walked into the room, I glanced at the contents of the tray; a glass of milk and some cookies and sliced fruits.My eyebrows shot up, "Now, what is that?"He lifted the tray higher like a trophy and chirped, "Studies and munching always go along, little Dee."I scrunched up my nose, "You didn't have to. You could have sent Isabella."Placing the tray in front of me, he nodded, "Yes, I could. But I didn't." A subtle smile adorned his lips as he murmured unbelievably, "Despite numerous maids, the Lycan King himsel

Delilah's POV:The next morning, at the breakfast table, Xee's phone rang. As I was sitting right next to him, I glimpsed at the screen and saw Lucas's name flashing on it. I stole a glance at Adeline whose eyes were fixated on the screen as well. Xee rejected the call and straightened in his chair.Silence fell over the table. Rolling her eyes, Adeline spoke up, "You guys don't have to walk on shells around me." Slicing the toast, she looked at us, "I am not a heartbroken teenager who will start whimpering and crying just at the mention of his name so no need to treat him as a forbidden topic." She pointed her fork at Xee's phone, "You can pick it up."Clearing his throat, Xee raised his eyebrow, "I never knew that I needed your permission before doing what I want to do." Smiling blankly, he said mockingly, "Thanks for letting me know, by the way."Adeline's eyebrows drew closer in a frown, "I mean, you don't have to ignore him just because of me."Cocking his head to the side, Xee a

Delilah's POV:As the car screeched to a halt in front of the cottage, I flung the door open and jumped out. Xee and Addy were right behind me as I jogged inside the cottage. Where it was brimming with all sorts of witches a few weeks ago, now it was all abandoned and forgotten.Addy stopped beside me and asked curiously, "What exactly are we doing here?"Xee was the next, "I have already come here and thoroughly searched the place. There is nothing here that can lead us to Dorian."I didn't know how to explain to them what was going on in my mind but I still tried, "For some reason, I can't see Victoria in the negative light."She never gave me villainous vibes or screamed danger. She was the kind of person who remained in their own head without bothering others. Also, she didn't have such a great bond with Asteria to help her in her evil plan.Despite all that, I was confused about one thing and it was Addy who voiced that out, "Then why is she keeping Dorian hidden?"Exactly. That
