Chapter 121

Darius's POVIt had been nearly three weeks since Lily came back, but every day was too long. The connection thrummed under my skin, a disconcerting reminder of her in the palace. I sensed bits of her feelings through our bond —isolation while in training, supposed sadness at the Academy, sometimes deep enough for my chest to hurt.But she stayed away from me, watching from the shadows the way I’d said she could.The distance was agony. Every alpha instinct in me was yelling at me to get to her, use the bond bringer her closer. But I had given my word, and I’d die before I’d break it.So I took my energy and became the alpha female I should have been from the start.“If you could keep the papers in order,” Marcus said, talking about files in my study, “the new council as structured is working famously. “We are receiving perspectives we have not paid attention to in years because of having people in the representation of all ranks.”I nodded, approving a suggestion for the refurbishin

Chapter 122

Lily's POVThere was something between me and Darius changed by the conversation in the library. Not in any dramatic way — I didn’t suddenly forgive him or give him another chance. But my wall of protection had a few crevasses in it, through which the possibility that maybe, someday things could be different began to seep.In the coming days, I kept wanting him around. Not on purpose, at first—I’d tell myself I was just going to the library at my regular time, or looking into pack business that turned out to be him. But slowly, I had to face the truth.I wanted to talk to him.Our talks began tentatively — we were both so careful, I remember, not to say something that would shatter the fragile truce we’d brokered. We discussed pack business, the changes he was making, the difficulties and demands of leadership.But eventually, inevitably, we started discussing other things. Recollections from our childhood - the time when he was just Darius and I was just Lily, before ranks and duties

Chapter 123

Darius's POVLily’s words lingered between us, weighted with an absolute sense of finality. “I want to talk about the bond. About breaking it."My ‘wolf howled in my body with a sound of pure pain. Every instinct demanded that he say no, fight it out, use the bond to make her see how very wrong this was.But I’d vowed to honor her decisions, even when they killed me.Naturally," I lied, trying to sound even when I wasn’t. "What do you want to know?"She leaned back in the chair opposite my desk. “I’m gonna need to know if you really meant that. For helping me break the bond, if that’s what I choose. Or was that more of a virtue-signal honor to which you were just all talk but no action?”The question stung. "I meant it. If you want it broken, I’ll help break it. No matter what it costs."“If it means giving up your life?” she asked quietly.I stared at her. "What?"“Breaking a forced mating isn’t just easy,” lily replied. "I've been researching it. The rituals are risky, potentially l

Chapter 124

Lily's POVI couldn't sleep. The next full moon, tomorrow night, and if I decided to go through with it, Darius and I would do the spell that had the potential to break our connection once and for all.Should have been a simple call. He had violated me, forced a connection I absolutely did not want. And of course it should want broken.But I had spent the evening in his study, and our conversation had knocked something loose. The way he’d claimed that to live without my forgiveness was already a death. How utterly convinced he’d been when he vowed to help me sever the bond, even if it meant killing him.This was evidence that I had been waiting to see. And he'd passed.I felt myself walking downstairs to his study with no deliberate direction. I knocked softly, half hoping that he would be asleep.But the door opened immediately. "Lily," he said, surprised. "Is everything alright?""I couldn't sleep," I admitted. "Can we talk?""Of course. Come in."We sat down by the fire again, in t

Chapter 125

DariusI woke up to sunlight in the study, and Lily was still sleeping on my shoulder. Her hair spilled across my chest, and she seemed so peaceful. I stayed frozen for a moment, afraid to move and prove the previous night to just be a dream. She had chosen me. Not as an obligation due to our connection, not because she had no other choice, but for her, this was a real decision. A real chance. Lily stirred awake; her blue eyes opened slowly. Confusion flashed over her face for a moment; then, memory hit her. “Good morning,” I greeted her quietly. “Morning,” she replied, sitting up. “I should go. People will talk if they find me here.” “Let them,” I shrugged. “Or, sorry, if you would prefer.” She looked at me, and her face softened into a slight smile. “You’ll do this all the time now, aren’t you?” “Yes,” I promised. “Until you believe that I mean it.” “That might take a while,” she warned. “I have a lot of time,” I told her. “All the time in the world.” She stood up and stretc

Chapter 126

Lily’s POVThe kiss changed something between us. Not dramatically – we didn’t suddenly leap into a complete relationship – but it shifted the basis we’d been carefully building. Maybe I gave myself permission to fall in love with Darius again, maybe that made everything else seems possible. The only thing different now was that it was still up to me. Not fate, not the bond, but my own choice to let him meet the person He truly was – someone who had hurt me, but someone who was genuinely trying to be better. A wave of gratefulness washed over me and for the first time, I noticed how different the bond felt when I wasn’t still fighting it. I had blanket-scrambled my knowledge of it for the last few weeks, tried to pretend that it’s a cage I needed to get out of. Now I just let myself my feelings pour – it didn’t feel like a chain anymore. It felt like a bridge. A piece of invisible, intangible connection that united two whole, full people experiences fully without losing themselves in

Chapter 127

Lily’s POVI felt a sense of peace as the hot water from the faucet rained on my body. I dropped the faucet and turned on the shower. I sat on the cold tile with my knee to my chest and my head placed on top of my knee.I reflected on the recent happenings and how my love story, which I had thought would be tragic, took a drastic turn. I never believed I would have alone time with Darius while breathing Selene-free air. My mind suddenly went to Alpha Malik who had given me time to think about his proposal. I knew there was nothing to think about but I didn’t want to reject him just like that. There was nothing to think about. I had known who I wanted right from day one. I wasn’t in doubt because I was doubting my feelings for Alpha Darius. I had loved him from the bottom of my heart. I had never once doubted my love for him. I was just scared that something or someone might try to take him away from me again.I had wanted to stall for time and the right moment to reject him in a co

Chapter 128

Darius’ POVI couldn’t take my eyes off Lily as she shut the door behind her. I imagined how life would have been for me if I had lost Lily to Alpha Malik. My eyes went to the dresser and I saw a shiny object placed on top. Out of curiosity, I stood up and went closer to see what exactly it was that had caught my attention. I figured out that the shiny object was a gold necklace. My heart missed a bit as I observed the necklace carefully, different things began to run through my mind. ‘What if she had gotten it as a gift from someone? A man? Or Alpha Malik?’My heart raced wildly as I pulled out the drawer of the dresser and found a beautiful gift box that’s made for the necklace. I was now convinced that she had gotten the gift from Alpha Malik, he was the only person who had eyes for Lily aside me.He wanted to steal my happiness by all means and I didn’t plan on letting him do so. Never.I promised myself that I would fight with every drop of blood in me to make Lily mine. I wo

Chapter 129

Darius’ POV“What the hell are you doing in my palace?!” I roared as I entered the living room, my voice echoing through the palace walls. My eyes were burning red like an angry fire. All I wanted to do was to grab him by the neck and shred him into pieces. “Calm down, gentle. I didn’t come here to fight you okay?” He said, his voice calm but demonic. ‘Take a chill pill, Darius.’ I said to myself as I tried my best to calm my nerves. ‘Take a deep breath,’ my wolf chipped in. I stared at him in silence as he stood up and started moving closer to me. I took a step backward as he stretched his hand to place it on my shoulder. “Get your filthy hands from me, asshole.” I roared, my tone laced with anger. Alpha Malik knew how much I loved Lily yet he wanted to take her away from me by all means. Lily accepting a gift from him made things more complicating. I couldn't believe Lily thought Alpha Malik was a nice guy. I wondered how he might have tricked her into believing he had a goo

Chapter 130

Malik’s POV I sighed in relief as I saw Lily walk past Darius without uttering a word to him. I knew she wouldn’t choose him over me after what she had faced in the palace. I didn’t care if Lily was his fated mate or not. All I wanted was to choose her as my mate. I would never allow Darius to take her away from me. No. Not while I’m alive. I had promised myself to get rid of anyone who would get in my way even if it required shading the blood of the person. I had given her an expensive necklace before I left the palace.I had ordered one of my men to buy the necklace from the best gold necklace dealers in the world.“Hello, my love. I have been waiting for you for a while.” I said immediately she came and stood face to face with me. She held her gaze with me for a while then she looked away. I noticed that the necklace I had given wasn’t on her neck, I had expected her to beautify her neck with it. My eyes went to her hands and I saw her holding that necklace. My heart missed a
