UNPLEASANT THOUGHTS

LILIAN'S POV And in some way.I was more afraid of that than I should have been.Before Darian could see the sudden panic on my face, I quickly turned away my look from him.It felt weird to know that someone was paying such close attention to me.Even dangerous.Particularly after years of being disregarded unless Taryn needed my assistance.I stammered, "I wasn't comparing myself."Darian's eyebrow went up a little, as if he didn't trust me."You sighed first," he said coolly."Oh my Goddess, are you also keeping an eye on my breathing now?""If needed."He continued to be totally serious as I looked at him in shock."You're not possible.""That information is not new."Before I could stop myself, I let out a little laugh.Once more.To be honest, I was beginning to worry about how easily he got reactions from me.After that, Darian turned to look at the flowers before continuing."You haven't given anything any water."I gave a blink. "Less than twenty-four hours ago, you assigned

UNWELCOME VISITOR

LILIAN'S POV My courage disappeared the moment I laid eyes on Taryn.I took a step back out of natural feeling as my stomach twisted painfully.He instantly followed the movement with his eyes.My skin crept at the expression on his face.Darian moved into the room and positioned himself just in front of me.It was such a little thing.However, it gave me a sense of security.I whispered, "What is he doing here?"Taryn chuckled.It was a bitter, cold sound."Nice greeting, Liliana."My jaw tightened."You lost the right to my kindness."In an instant, his face darkened.I briefly believed that he might blow up.Rather, he stuffed his hands into his pockets."I came to talk.""You came to cause problems," Darian clarified.Taryn paid him no attention at all.His look stayed on me."You left without hearing me out."I looked at him in disbelief."Are you serious right now?”His expression remained completely serious.In some way, that made things worse."Taryn, I caught you cheating."

AFTERSHOCK

LILIAN'S POV I remained that way for a short while.pressed close to him.I'm trying to figure out why my body picked him out of everyone to rely on.I wasn't pushed away by Darian.At first, he didn't say anything.My heart began to beat strangely just from that.Too quickly.Too obvious.At last, I swiftly withdrew and cleared my throat.I said softly,"Sorry."His look remained fixed on me."You don't have to apologize for that."I blinked."I don't.""No."My chest tightened once more for a different reason after hearing that straightforward response.I suddenly didn’t know what to do with my hands.or my face.or my ideas.So I took another step back.establishing a gap.a safer separation."All right," I shouted out. "I simply wasn't thinking."Darian gave a single, understanding nod.However, his life look remained fixed on me.We were silent for a long time.Not uncomfortable.Simply heavy.It was as if something had changed but no one wanted to identify it.I turned to face

STRANGE ROUTINE

LILIANA'S POVI woke up the following morning expecting chaosTo be honest?I had become used to it.Since discovering Taryn with Emily, things had somehow gotten worse every day.Naturally, I expected that I would encounter another catastrophe.Rather, I awoke to total quiet and sunlight streaming through the curtains.No disagreements.No members of the council.No angry ex-husband.Just peace.I just looked up at the ceiling for a while.It was an strange feeling.Almost suspicious.Inside my head, my wolf stretched clumsyly."Perhaps today won't be too bad."I gave a nod."Let's not get ahead of ourselves."Even so, I couldn't fight how pleasant it was to sleep without nightmares.Very pleasant.Perhaps I was benefiting more from staying here than I wanted to acknowledge.I dressed and went downstairs.I was immediately hit by the smell of breakfast.My stomach rumbled.loudly.loudly and embarrassingly.Regretfully, I wasn't by myself.I froze as soon as I entered the dining room

UNEXPECTED VISIT

LILIAN'S POV My positive attitude disappeared as soon as I heard Emily's name.Simply disappeared.As if it had never happened.Convinced that I had misheard the guard, I fixed my look on him.Regretfully, I could tell otherwise by his expression.Emily.I had caught the same woman in the nude with my husband.The same woman who added to my marriage's destruction.The same woman who leaves freely in my nightmares right now.I said, "What does she want?"The guard gave a headshake."She refused to say."She did, of course.Why simplify anything?I tried to ignore the tightening twist in my stomach as I folded my arms across my chest.Darian appeared just as unimpressed.Well, forget about that.He appeared irritated.extremely irritated."Send her away," he said softly.Easy.Direct.Excellent.Sadly, I was despised by life.due to the guard's hesitation.And it was never a good idea to hesitate."Alpha, there's a problem."Darian's eyes narrowed a little."What problem?"The guard sh

UNWELCOME ATTENTION

LILIANA'S POVI kept thinking about what Emily had said after she left.regardless of how hard I tried.The words kept coming back to me."He's obsessed.""I think he's planning something."I felt a chill every time I thought about them.She might have been lying.Perhaps she was attempting to stir things up.Perhaps she wanted sympathy because she regretted getting involved with Taryn.However, there was one issue.Emily had appeared scared.Not guilty.Not arrogant.Fearful.And I was most troubled by that.I had observed Emily acting self-assured in front of everyone.She appeared to be the room's owner at all times.The woman who arrived today had a totally different appearance.Nearly damaged.And I was more afraid of that than I wanted to acknowledge.Sleep was hard to find that night.I flipped between the two sides of the bed.Then back again.Nothing was helpful.I jumped at every creak of the mansion.My heart raced at every sound outside my window.I finally sat up and moan

FACE TO FACE

LILIANA'S POVIt seemed like a longer walk to the front gate than it actually was. Every step made my stomach twist harder. Even though the cool night air touched my skin, it didn't make me feel any less angry. I had been sitting in Darian's office a few hours prior, attempting to turn away my attention from Emily's warning. I was now directly on my way to Taryn. Inside my head, my wolf paced uneasily."You don't have to do this," Nayla whispered."Yes, I do.""No, you don't."I sighed quietly. "I'm tired of running."Darian walked steadily beside me, his face unreadable. Since leaving the mansion, he had not spoken much. That silence, for some reason, was more consoling than any words.Voices drifted through the night air as we approached. There were a number of people gathered close to the gate. The guards weren't lying. Council members had accompanied Taryn. I felt uneasy at the sight.The conversation ceased as soon as we came into view.Everybody turned to face us.Taryn was the

UNWANTED GIFTS

LILIANA'S POVIt was a silent ride back to the mansion.I didn't mind at all.I already had a lot on my mind.I kept thinking about Taryn's face. The shock. The desperation. I told him it was over, and he looked at me.I had expected feeling guilty.I didn't.I felt lighter, if anything.It was as if a chain had been finally broken.Darian sat silently next to me, looking out the window. I could tell he was thinking about something, even though his expression was still unreadable.Taryn, most likely.The council, most likely.Most likely the hundred other issues that seemed to follow him everywhere.I closed my eyes and leaned my head against the seat.I was stressed out.emotionally spent.And one quiet day was all I wanted.Sadly, life obviously hated that idea.One of the guards came running toward us as soon as we got to the mansion.My stomach dropped at the sight of his expression.Because no one ever came over with good news.Never."Alpha."Darian gave him a look."What happen

THE COUNCIL'S DEMAND

LILIANA'S POVLong after the guard had finished speaking, the dining room was still silent.Their food was not touched by anyone.No one said anything.For once, even Toby appeared serious, which was actually more concerning than the actual emergency meeting.Painfully, my stomach twisted.The council requested a meeting to discuss me.There are a hundred possible interpretations of that.Sadly, none of them were very good.I slowly turned to face Darian.Once more, his expression was unreadable.chilly.under control.He always had the same expression on his face before addressing issues.And most of them seemed to revolve around me lately.My chest began to feel heavy with guilt at the thought.Perhaps I was causing more problems than I thought.Perhaps it was getting to be too much to stay here.The guard's throat was cleared."Alpha, they asked for your presence right away."Darian gave one nod."I'll be there shortly."Before leaving, the guard bowed his head.The room became sil

A LUNA FOR THE PACK

LILIANA'S POVSuddenly, the garden seemed too silent.Too little.It's too stuffy.I kept staring at Darian as his words kept repeating in my mind.A Luna.The council desired that he select a Luna.They did, of course.The Alpha was him.The Blood Veil Pack's strongest wolf.It was uncommon to have a leader without a Luna.Particularly now that the pack was at last stabilizing.The reasoning made sense to me.I didn't like it because of that.Not even a tiny bit.My chest began to feel uneasy.I hated the sensation right away.Because I was aware that I had no right to feel that way.Not at all.The silence was first broken by Ava."They actually said that?"Darian gave a nod."They were quite persistent."Toby, who had apparently joined us at some point, almost choked on his drink."Persistent?"He chuckled uneasily."That's a polite way of saying obsessed."There was no disagreement.Darian took a seat across from us.His shoulders appeared strained.Not upset.I'm just exhausted.
