All Chapters of Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Lillian's POVI was still trying to understand what had happened when the door to my apartment suddenly opened.Two guards walked inside.Their expressions immediately frightened me. They looked angry, almost hostile, and neither of them bothered to explain why they were there."Come with us."I stared at them. "Why? What happened?"Neither answered. They just gestured angrily to the door.I followed them because I knew better than to refuse an order, but fear continued to build inside me as we walked farther from the part of the pack I knew.The streets became darker and quieter. People stopped to watch us pass, and I noticed the way they looked at me.There was disdain in their eyes. Some whispered behind their hands.I lowered my head, my stomach twisting.What had I done?Only a few days ago, these people had smiled at me. Some had welcomed me into the Conservatory as though I belonged there.Now they looked at me as though I had done something terrible.When the guards finally pu

Hayes's POVThe silver light continued to burn through the room until, without warning, it stopped.Everything went silent.Lillian suddenly sucked in a sharp breath.I moved before I could think. She collapsed forward, and I caught her in my arms, pulling her against my chest. "Lillian." Her eyes fluttered open. "Can you hear me?"She blinked up at me, dazed. "I'm fine."My wolf reacted the moment I held her. It surged toward her with an intensity I had never felt before, as though it recognized something in her that even I had not fully accepted yet.I tightened my arms around her. "Are you sure?"She nodded slowly. "I feel... strange. But I'm not hurt."Around us, the sorcerers and healers began stirring. Some groaned as they pushed themselves off the floor. Broken equipment was scattered everywhere.Then the sorcerer saw the mark on Lillian's neck. His eyes widened. He looked at me. I immediately shook my head. Don't say anything. He understood.Lillian looked between us, confuse

Hayes's POVBefore I walked into the room, I felt it.The presence of another wolf.It was faint at first, almost buried beneath Lillian's scent, but there was no mistaking it. Her wolf had awakened.The sorcerer had warned me that the wolf was powerful, and Alia had sensed the same thing. Now that I was close enough, I understood what they meant.My wolf reacted immediately. It reached toward her, drawn to the unfamiliar presence inside her. The moment it tried to make contact, however, something pushed it away.She was resisting.I could feel her anger through the distance between us. It was sharp and hostile, directed straight at my wolf.I frowned. Why was she so angry?Was it possible that she knew what my father had done to the Eclipse Wolves?I pushed the thought aside as I entered the room.At least she was alive.She was standing there, looking healthier than she had before the test. Her silver hair fell around her shoulders, and there was a strange brightness about her that

Lillian's POVI had never felt this good in my entire life.Even after everything that had happened that day, I couldn't stop thinking about Hayes. Every time I remembered the way he had touched me, the softness in his voice when he asked if I was all right, and the way he had brushed my hair away from my face, a strange warmth spread through my body.I kicked my feet lightly against the mattress, then immediately covered my mouth when a giggle escaped me."What is wrong with me?" I whispered, laughing again.I slapped both hands over my face."Stop it, Lillian."But I couldn't. He had been so sweet to me. And he had even said I was going to move to his room. I looked around the enormous bedroom, still unable to believe I was actually lying on the Alpha's bed."He's going to protect me," I whispered happily.The thought made my heart flutter.All my life, I had been discarded, mocked and treated with scorn because of the way I looked. I had grown so accustomed to being made to feel u

Lillian’s Pov The moment Adrian came closer, I noticed Hayes's expression change. The softness that had been there only moments ago disappeared, replaced by a stern frown.Adrian, however, looked completely different.His face was bright with excitement, and I could see exactly what he wanted. His little arms had already begun to lift slightly, as though he expected his father to pull him into a hug.Hayes did nothing. He simply looked down at him. "What are you doing out here, Adrian?"The smile on the little boy's face slowly disappeared.Before he could answer, two women came hurrying toward us. They were both panting heavily, their faces pale with fear."Alpha, please forgive us," one of them pleaded. "Little Adrian tricked us and ran outside."Hayes's expression hardened. "So a little boy can trick you?"Both women immediately lowered their heads. "No, Alpha." Their voices trembled.Adrian stared at his father too, and for the first time, I noticed something in his expression th
