Lilac's P.O.V "So what's up between you and Mr. Popular?" Dani wiggled her eyebrows at me as we found an empty seat at the cafeteria. "The two of you seemed pretty comfy with each other yesterday…" Yesterday? Was it only just yesterday that Liam and the three of us went to the Fair? Why did it feel like an eternity ago? "Liam and I agreed to be friends." I told her, my lips curving into the tiniest of smiles. "I guess." "You guess? Friends?" Dani sighed. "It looked like he was ready to take you out on a date already." "Liam?" I felt my eyes widen in surprise. "God no! Like you said, he's pretty popular. He can date anyone he wants. Why would he choose me?" "Well, for starters, because you're gorgeous!" Dani said it like she was stating the obvious. "And just because you-know-who is biased towards you, doesn't mean every single man in the pack has turned bli

Lilac's P.O.V As I stepped out of the soup house the following day on my way to school, I stopped short in surprise when I found Beta Luca, standing outside waiting for me. There was a look on his face that I didn't quite understand and whatever it was, I knew that something was about to happen because Beta Luca hadn't given me any prior notice of being here. At that moment, I wished I could just rewind time and go back to sleep, because I wasn't ready for whatever was about to happen. "Good morning, Lilac," he said politely. "Beta Luca, this is such a pleasant surprise. I hope everything is alright?" I asked. I tried to keep my voice neutral, but my gut was churning with anxiety. "Yes, everything is alright," he gave me a polite smile, before he let out a soft sigh. "But…you've been summoned to Alpha Krimson's house…now." The very mention of that name had my heart racing and it was definitely not in a good way. Memories of our last m

Lilac's P.O.V "When you say, "work for me" what do you mean exactly?" I asked. I was trying to get clarity here on this issue at hand. I had no idea what he meant by wanting me to work for him at the moment, and the last thing I wanted was to torment myself by being near him like this for now or any other duration of time. But Krimson found it all funny. The man I had never seen smile at me was now staring at me with a look of amusement in his eyes, his lips tilted up in a smirk that grated on my nerves. Maybe it was because of the fact that I was in this office…stuck together with him in such close proximity that I was having trouble thinking properly…but I didn't like it. I didn't like that smirk. I didn't like the way he was looking at me. As if he knew something I didn't. And I didn't like this feeling of being kept in the dark. "You see Lilac, it has come to my notice that you are being underpaid at the Soup House, for all the work you are doing, and

Lilac's P.O.V I watched the school gates from afar, and almost immediately, lethargy filled my entire body, making me want to collapse right then and there. Lord knew that I didn't want to be here but I had no other choice. The semester was ending and the exams were right around the corner. Within a month, I would be done with school forever and then there would be no looking back, but for now, I willed my tired legs forward, trying to cross the rest of the distance into the hellhole where only the goddess knew what awaited me. I wanted to just go back to the Soup House, sleep and forget about everything that had happened since this morning. Just thinking about facing my fellow students, especially Serena, gave me a headache that didn't have a cure. At that moment, I desperately wished that I could find Dani. She was the only person who was capable of making me stay sane after what I had endured. Her cheerful personality and her attitude would give me the motiva

Lilac's P.O.V This time around, I couldn't meet Krimson's eyes when I entered the Principal's office. I couldn't even imagine how, only a few hours ago, I had been running my mouth, standing up to Krimson for the first time in my life. But now, with the Principal, Mrs. Addison, and Serena's mother, Mrs. Stonewater's piercing gaze on me, I had suddenly lost my voice. I hated this feeling of weakness, of being made to feel insignificant and docile. But what choice did I have? My life was literally on the line at this moment…and this meeting would be the deciding factor of what happened to me from now onwards. "You!" My head snapped to the side as the sting of the slap registered. I hadn't even noticed when Mrs. Stonewater had risen from her seat and hauled herself in my path, but now that she had me in her grasp, she took every chance she had to vent her anger out on me. You. Vile. Pathetic. Disgusting. Creature!" Serena's mother screamed at
