All Chapters of Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lillian's POVFor the first time since arriving at Arrowfang Pack, I woke up with something to look forward to.I wasn't thinking about Alpha Hayes, my pregnancy, or whether I would survive the months ahead.I was thinking about flowers. The realization made me smile.When I arrived at the Sacred Conservatory, Alia was already waiting for me."You're early.""I couldn't sleep," I admitted.She smiled and handed me a notebook."Today, you'll help prepare herbs for the healers."She led me into a preparation room filled with baskets of freshly collected plants."Sort them, record their names and prepare them for the medical wing. If you're unsure about anything, ask."I nodded and got to work. I recognized most of the herbs immediately. Then I noticed something wrong with a bundle of silverleaf."Why is this here?"A young man nearby looked over. "What's wrong with it?""Silverleaf shouldn't be stored here. It's too warm. The leaves will look fine, but they'll lose most of their medicin

Hayes's POVI sat behind my desk, staring at the report Alia had left for me. I had already read it several times, but the details still bothered me. According to her, the plant had reacted the moment Lillian touched it. It had remained dormant for years despite countless attempts by the botanists and healers to understand it, yet the moment her fingers came into contact with its leaves, something had awakened. Alia had never witnessed anything like it, and neither had anyone else in the Sacred Conservatory.I leaned back in my chair and slowly rubbed my fingers against my temple. I had known from the beginning that there was something different about Lillian. I could not explain what had drawn my attention to her, and I certainly could not explain why my wolf had reacted differently to her. I had chosen her when everyone around me had insisted that she was unsuitable. She was wolfless, mateless, and physically weaker than the women the elders had wanted me to choose. Yet something in

Lillian's POV The next morning, I woke up thinking about Hayes's warning. Stay away from my son. His voice had been so cold that I had barely slept. I kept replaying the conversation in my head, wondering what I had done wrong. I had not gone looking for Adrian. He had come to me, and all I had done was answer his questions and show him a few harmless plants. Still, I had learned quickly that questioning Alpha Hayes was rarely a good idea. So I decided to stay away from Adrian. It was easier said than done. The little boy had been so cheerful, so innocent. For the short time we had spent together, I had forgotten where I was and what had brought me here. Now I had to remind myself that he was the Alpha's son. And I was nothing more than the woman Hayes had chosen to carry his heir. I pushed the thought away and focused on my work. By late afternoon, I had finished everything Alia had assigned to me when she approached with an unusual smile. "Lillian, are you b

Lillian's POVI barely rest after the feather disappeared.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw that silver light spreading across my fingers. I kept telling myself there had to be a reasonable explanation for what happened, but no explanation came to me.I had made up my mind to tell Alia.I still did not intend to tell her everything. I could not bring myself to admit that the feather had vanished into my hand. Even saying it in my own head sounded impossible.I would simply ask her about the feather and see whether she recognized it.When I arrived at the Sacred Conservatory, Alia was already there, going through a stack of records."Alia."She looked up. “You're early.""I need to ask you something."She noticed the worry on my face and immediately put the papers down."What happened?"I hesitated before pulling out my notebook. I had drawn the feather from memory before leaving my apartment. It was not perfect, but I had managed to capture its unusual shape."I found this in my roo

Lillian's POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the ceiling.It took me a few seconds to remember where I was.The Conservatory. The plant.Hayes.I remembered the dizziness that had taken over my body and the strong arms that had caught me before I hit the floor. I remembered hearing Hayes call for the doctor before everything went dark.I slowly sat up.To my surprise, I felt fine.There was no headache, no weakness, no pain anywhere in my body. If anything, I felt more energetic than I had that morning.A woman in a white coat noticed that I was awake and immediately approached."How are you feeling?""I'm fine."She smiled. "Good."I looked around the room. "What happened?""You fainted.""I know that, but why?"She pulled a chair closer to the bed and sat down."We aren't completely sure what caused it. Your body seems perfectly healthy."I frowned. "Then why did I faint?"She exchanged a look with the healer standing nearby..Something about that look made my s
