My sister’s mate became my forbidden love. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Lila's POV “Fine.” Was the only word Victoria uttered before she stormed out of the room.Sophia had not moved from my side, nervous and holding on to her dress. She was somewhere caught between her duty to her mother-in-law and her feelings toward me. Her mouth opened, closed, opened, and now went, "Lila, I… I ought to—"I shook my head to halt her. My voice was soft, although I felt a dull ache in my heart at what Victoria had said. "Don't, Sophia. It's fine."She lowered her head in remorse, but honestly, I wished she would never have to deal with this again. I turned and left for my room.I stood in the room with clasped hands trembling in front of my mouth. Okay. I told Sophia it was all okay. The truth was it was not okay.It was not okay for Victoria to humiliate me like that!Knock, Knock, Knock."My lady," a servant's voice came from the other side of the door, "The Alpha seeks you."My heart sank. Adrian's father—The Alpha. Great!The servant led me down the long corridors

LILA's POV I forced a smile on my lips , while secretly wishing the floor could just open up and swallow me. "It's nothing," I hurriedly added, "Just a stupid slip of thought that I didn't really mean. Trust me, I did not mean it, my intrusive thoughts just won.” Adrian looked somewhat softer; his voice took on a serious tone. "Good, because there's something you need to know. I am starting to really love Sophia. She is my mate, and I would hate for you to think I liked you that way or do anything that leads you on and end up causing a confusion or even worse break your heart and cause a rift between you and your sister. That night we spent together...a foolish mistake, and we are sorry it has to stay in the dark." I felt as if the words knives that plunged straight in-my throat that was already on fire through the torment of his words, and I did not allow him to find out how much they stung. Suppressing a short, fake laugh, I said, "Don't flatter yourself too much, Adrian Wol

Lila's POV.There was no sleep for me that night.I lay on my back, staring at the ceiling as my thoughts went running in every direction. Few days ago, he looked completely normal when he spoke to me in his study. No sign of illness, no weak step, no strained voice.What happened from that time to now?I rolled on my side.The healers said it was rare; they didn't know the causes, but something just did not sit right with me about that. I had been in healer long enough to know that a sudden ailment in alpha wolves is rarely due to natural causes. There was almost always some dirty secrets involved and someone who would be the one gaining something from his ailment.That thought alone made my heart start racing. But who would dare go against such a powerful Alpha? Hardly do I know anyone in this place to even make a guess. I shook my head , thinking, "You are just overthinking this.” I mumbled bur my mind would not listen.I swung my feet off the bed and walked over to a small

Lila’s POVI stood in the middle of the dinning hall with my heart thundering in my ears, so loud I was sure Adrian and Luna Victoria just have heard it. Luna Victoria looked straight at me, as if challenging me to her accept her deal. I knew the end if I messed up – shame,exile,or death in the worst case scenario. But if I said no and chickened out, I would never forgive myself. I've just got this gut feeling that the whole Alpha Daniel sickness isn't what it seems.“I'm in,” I said, as confidently as possible, even though my hands were slick with sweat.Victoria's lips curled into a mean little smile. “Alright then, Lila Hayes. Just keep in mind what you're saying. If something goes wrong with the Alpha, this is all on you. And even Adrain won't be able to save you from this one.” I shook my head, though my stomach was flipping over. Adrian stood next to me, silent as ever, but like a rock. By just the way he looked at me – steady, like nothing could shake him, even with his mo

Lila's POVThat image of Dr. Merek's really freaked-out face just wouldn't leave my head.Honestly, I don't think he was very mad at all; he was more frightened to see me there.You know that kind of fear; it does not belong to people who have nothing to hide?Days have gone by; things kept getting worse with the Alpha. Weak to weak, pale skin,having more trouble with his breathing. The wolf was dying inside him.That night, I decided that I had waited long enough.The moon’s light shone lazing, hiding behind the pack clouds. The palace hallways were as silent as dead. I did get back to the medical wing, and my heart was a throbbing crazy. There were half expectations of guards watching the door, but the place turned out to be wide open and there seemed to be no guards. So, very quietly, I stepped in even though a part of me felt I was walking into a well set trap!It smelled of herbs and horrible bitter medicines used in healing, shadows everywhere caused by dim light; I headed st
