Rejected By Alpha, Chased By Lycan King のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Xander's POV:She jerked around. Hard and fast. Eyes filled with shock were piercing mine. This closer, I could literally hear the erratic beating of her heart. For a moment, she searched my face whether I was joking but something in her demeanour told me that she already knew. Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard and digested the information. She nodded slowly and then her eyebrows dipped lower as she thought for a few seconds and then asked, "Are you here to hurt me?" The question itself was a blow to my heart. My wolf growled just at the thought. I wanted to touch her, whether to soothe her or myself was another question. But I stayed still and whispered through clenched teeth, "I'd prefer death over doing such a thing." She sucked in a sharp breath. I was aware of the rise and fall of her chest as her breathing grew heavier. I must admit, this girl was brave. Even after knowing that I wasn't a human being, she was standing firmly in front of me. My gaze traveled to her plump

Delilah's POV: We walked the dark corridors in the dim light emitting from the torch. The man was grabbing my hand in a tight hold while walking briskly. I was panting, "Uncle John, can we please walk slower? I am getting tired." His pace didn't slow down, "No, kiddo. We must hurry up." I huffed out, "You are a big man but I am just a 3-year-old girl with tiny legs." Jogging forward, he insisted, "We don't have much time." His words were not registering in my immature mind. I turned my neck around. There was only utter darkness behind us. Staring at nothing, I asked curiously, "Who were those wolves coming into our house?" I was heaved up in his arms, "Bad wolves, kiddo. Really really bad wolves." My wavy hair bobbed up and down in his arms, "Where are we going, Uncle John." "To the safe space," replied the man. Finally, after what felt like hours, we reached the end of the corridor. There was a wooden ladder against the end wall and above that, there was a door locked with c

Delilah's POV: With silent footsteps, he started walking like he knew every crook and corner of the wood. I followed him closely, feeling much safer now. I never even questioned in my mind about where he was taking me. Why and when had I started trusting this man so much? Xee remained quiet and walked silently. His footsteps weren't even making any sound as he padded on the ground. After a few minutes of hushed walking, he took me to a clearing and then finally turned around. His intense gaze didn't waver from me as he took off his robe and threw it over a lower branch. He was wearing a royal blue dress shirt and black pants. He was looking so handsome in that attire. The way his shirt was hugging his chest tightly, enunciating the muscles beneath was so mouth-watering. I actually refrained from checking the drool pooling out of my mouth. Just to divert my mind, I asked him, "Were you in the office before coming here?" He simply nodded, "Yeah, Antonio was here." I thought back, "

Delilah's POV: By the time I entered the hostel, it was already 11 pm. A weird type of excitement was coursing through my body. I couldn't believe I just witnessed something so out of this world. How could such a phenomenon be reasoned by any science or knowledge? No wonder supernatural creatures live in hiding. People are not ready to witness and accept what they can't justify by logic. Climbing up the stairs, my mind went back to that moment when Xee changed into a Lycan bit by bit. Would I ever recover from the shock? But for some reason, I was also feeling happy. Xee showing me what he really was felt like another barrier had been crossed between us. Smiling vividly. I unlocked the door and stepped into the room. I gasped sharply as my heart lurched into my mouth. In the center of the room, a figure was standing with wild hair all around it. My hand clutched my chest and I blinked hard to focus in the dark. I could hear low whimpers coming from where the figure was standing and

Delilah's POV: The car stopped in front of the cafe and we got out. Just as Addy opened the entrance door, a chorus of Birthday songs erupted in the air. Dozens of people were gathered around the table bearing a three-tier birthday cake and many other snacks. After greeting everyone I knew and those whom I did know nothing about, I turned in a full circle to have a good look around the place. Apparently, Adeline had booked the whole cafe for my birthday party and decorated it with a champagne-colored theme. Well, that explains why she was so adamant that I finalize that party dress days before my birthday. Behind the main table, there was a decoration of flowers and fairy lights, and 'Happy Birthday Dee' was written in Italic lettering on the wall. Another small table was placed at the corner which was laden with birthday presents. Everyone surrounded me as they chanted, "Make a wish," repeatedly. Grinning widely, I closed my eyes and thought hard about what to wish for. Everything
