Lahat ng Kabanata ng Lilith And Her Three Devil Wolves : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

Lilith's POV Lucius's silver broadsword gleamed under the vault's pale light as he pointed it at Lilith, his other hand gesturing dramatically toward the woman standing beside him. She looked exactly like me. Same silver eyes, same dark hair, same sharp cheekbones. The illusion was almost perfect."I present to you the true Shadow Queen," Lucius announced, his voice echoing off the ancient stone walls. "Your precious mate is nothing but a pretender. A pawn the Council manufactured to destabilize the Sovereign bloodline."Ronan didn't even look at the fake. He took one slow step forward, inhaled deeply through his nose, and burst out laughing. The sound ricocheted off the altar and bounced around the vault like a cracked bell.Vane moved before anyone could blink. His pistol cleared its holster in a fluid motion, and the crack of gunfire split the air. The fake twin dropped to the stone floor, screaming in pure human agony as blood poured from her shattered kneecap. Her optical illusi

Lilith's POV I woke up wrapped in so much Alpha scent that I couldn't tell where one of them ended and another began. The master suite was drenched in it—Malakai's smoky cedar, Ronan's rain-washed pine, Vane's crisp winter air. My body ached in ways that made me blush just thinking about it, but I felt safe. Completely, utterly safe for the first time in weeks.I found one of Malakai's oversized shirts on the floor and pulled it over my head, the fabric swallowing me whole. My bare feet padded against the cold marble as I made my way downstairs, following the sound of low voices and the click of keyboards.Vane was in the security room, hunched over a console with holographic screens floating around his head like some kind of tech wizard. Ronan stood beside him, arms crossed, jaw tight. Malakai leaned against the doorframe, his red eyes tracking my every movement as I walked in."There she is," Malakai said, his voice rough with sleep and something darker. "Sleep well, princess?"I

Lilith's POV The static died.Vane crushed the analog speaker under his heavy combat boot, the metal casing splintering against the stone floor in a shower of sparks and twisted wires. The shrill, grating noise that had been drilling into our skulls for the past twenty minutes finally cut out, leaving behind nothing but the howling mountain wind and the deafening silence of victory.He looked back at me, his golden eyes burning with pure wolf-dominance, the kind of feral intensity that made my stomach flip and my thighs clench even in the middle of a crisis."No more screens. No more Council games," Vane growled, his chest rumbling like distant thunder. The muscles in his shoulders were still coiled tight with residual rage from the Primordial wolf fight in the greenhouse, and a thin line of blood trickled down his temple from where one of the creature's claws had grazed him. He didn't even seem to notice. "They think they can bomb us out like cowards? If they want our Queen, they

Lilith's POV The ear landed on the silk sheets with a wet, sickening thud, and for one suspended heartbeat, the world just stopped existing.Blood. Dark, congealed, still-fresh blood smeared across the white fabric like some kind of grotesque signature, and attached to that blood was an ear. An Alpha ear, severed cleanly at the cartilage, the skin around it still faintly warm. I stared at it, my brain refusing to process what my eyes were seeing, because this wasn't supposed to be happening. We were supposed to be safe. The compound was supposed to be impenetrable. And yet here was this woman, this ghost of a woman, standing at the foot of our bed like she owned the place, her lips curled into a smile that made my stomach turn inside out.Vane didn't hesitate. One second he was beside me, his body coiled with that lethal tension that always made him look like a predator about to strike, and the next he was across the room, his hand wrapped around the assassin's throat, slamming her

Lilith's POV The white wolf shifted back into human form right there on top of the stone wall, and I swear my brain short-circuited. The man standing there was massive, covered in scars that looked like someone had taken a knife to him over and over again, and his left eye was completely gone, just a hollow socket that should have been grotesque but somehow made him look even more dangerous.And then he exhaled, just one single breath that cut through the freezing winter air, and my knees fucking buckled.It was like someone had reached inside my chest and grabbed hold of my soul and yanked. Hard. The pull was so strong, so agonizingly sweet, that I actually gasped out loud, my entire body betraying me as I took a half-step forward without even thinking about it. My wolf was howling inside my head, screaming at me to go to him, to touch him, to claim him, and I couldn't make it stop no matter how hard I tried.But before I could take another step, Malakai's arm slammed across my che
