Delilah's POV:The next day, before the training, I went to the room where Dorian was resting. It made me feel so miserable to see no improvement in his condition. I have been visiting him regularly with the hope of seeing him getting better but unfortunately, he was in the same state I left him about two weeks ago.I tried to talk to Asteria several times to try the healing again but she would outrightly refuse me by saying he is too weak to cope with that, we have done all that we could, and now he must heal on his own.I wanted to spend some more time with him but Asteria sent a junior witch to fetch me for training. It was the second last day of our training so she wanted me to focus all my attention on it.I had now full control over my concentration ability, she also taught me how to know which healing power is for which wound or injury, she made me understand the difference between physical and emotional healing, and for the last few days, we have been practicing healing on some

Delilah's POV:As the silhouette jumped into the room, I hurried and crawled behind the bed. Bringing up my knees, I hid my face behind them and slowed down my breathing.My gut coiled with fear as I heard footsteps getting closer and closer. Fat, hot tears lined my eyelashes but I didn't dare make any noise. I stayed as still as I could until...until I felt a heavy hand landing on my shoulder.I squeaked sharply as my head jerked upward. I couldn't see in this dark but I could feel the touch. It was nothing harsh or hideous like before. Instead, it was gentle and soothing which had Akira perked up in my mind.The room reeked of that rotten smell so badly that it was impossible to smell any other scent but this close, I could differentiate his scent.Heart-wrenching sobs left me as he rushed forward and then the room illuminated. In the next moment, Xee was kneeling in front of me. He gripped my shoulders and said with urgency, "What happened here? Are you okay?"A mixture of emotions

Delilah's POV:Standing at the vanity, I dried my hair and then brushed them. Xee was sitting behind me on the bed, leaning back on his elbows, and legs stretching out, looking all high and mighty. I could watch through the mirror how his eyes continuously and curiously were following my every movement.His gaze followed my hand down as I picked the lip gloss and his eyes stayed on my lips as I applied it. Shaking my head lightly, I looked at her through the mirror, "Can you stop staring at me?"He seemed to be in some trance when he answered hoarsely, "Trust me, I can't."I dusted a light blush on my cheeks and demanded, "Why?"My heart picked a beat as he slowly stood up and started moving in my direction. Reaching the vanity, he leaned against it and stared down at me, "You are so pretty."My head snapped toward him. I never knew that such simple words were capable of raging a storm inside me. His gray orbs pierced my hazel ones as he mumbled hazily, "You have beautiful eyes. They

Delilah's POV:Asteria stopped by the edge of the bed, "You'll know soon. Very soon, actually."She was closer to me. I just needed to flung forward and dig my claws in her slender throat. Heaving a massive breath, I forced my frail body and jumped toward her. Raising my hand, I slashed it across her face.She shot back just in time. Eyes wide with shock, I looked at my hand. Panic swelled inside me when I saw nails instead of sharp claws.I instantly reached to the back of my mind, "Akira?"I heard no response. I tried again to call her forward but my wolf didn't surface. I couldn't even feel her with me. All I felt was an emptiness within myself. I screamed her name in my mind over and over again but all I got in response was silence.My eyes sliced to Asteria and I gritted out, "What the hell did you do to Akira? Where is she?"She looked at me intently, "She is fine. And just as I said before, everything will be alright, it all depends on whether you cooperate with me or not."I s

Delilah's POV:Asteria flickered her fingers and a large ball of flame ignited on her palm. Blowing it, she let it swipe off her hand and dance into the air. The fire illuminated the hall and that's when I was able to finally see the face of the monster inhabiting the throne.A cold shiver ran down my spine as my eyes raked over his palest expression. The hair at the nape of my neck stood taller as he revealed his canines which were nothing like that of a werewolf. My eyes raked down his slim body which was contrary to a werewolf's or lycan's bulky build. Who was he?When I looked at Asteria, I found her grinning ear to ear. Revealing her full set of teeth, she was beaming as her eyes glued to the man with an evil aura. With a grace I had never seen before in her, she got up to her full height.My eyes widened as Asteria flopped down onto the thigh of the man. He moved his hand around her belly in a possessive grip and I took in his long, sharp nails. They were not like my claws at al
