The small room felt hot, and the air was thick with Emilia’s perfume as the women stared each other off. Emilia finally sighed and rolled her eyes. “What do you want?” She snapped again. Fixing her hair to look busy. Delilah raised the book. “I need to know. What inspired this book of yours? Tell me everything.” A knowing smile spread across her lips as she saw the book. Her eyes had a glassy, distant look like she was high on Mount Everest. “It came from my college days, Delilah. All the stories we’d hear about these whoring, loose girls screwing boys all over school, while acting like saints.

This book is dedicated to Bukade—my awesome friend who's helped me very very much in the creation of this book, and Favour Edem, too—my first love, for taking her time to explain stuffs about Werewolves, and Vamps, and Witches to me. For all those looking into my book, Omega, which by the way is entering the ‘Mate the Alpha’ contest, I am quite optimistic that this book will be worth your time and you will enjoy every bit of it. ❤️

She wasn’t sure what this new chapter would demand from her. When she reached the bedroom, she quietly opened the door, expecting to find the space empty and inviting. Instead, what she saw made her stop in her tracks. Mrs. Hayden, the housekeeper, was standing by the bed, holding Delilah’s large black book—the book! The one where Delilah had jotted down notes about her clients' gory requests. It wasn’t just any book—it was private, and Mrs. Hayden had it open, her eyes scanning its pages with a focused intensity.

'Hello?' 'Hello-' she paused again, weighing up her options. This wasn't going to be easy. "Hello? This is Delilah Sanchez."

Ty looks up at me, "That's my cue man. She has a friend in there if you want to join." "Maybe some other time, Hotshot." I spot Delilah exiting the school through the back doors, probably to read on the quad for her study hall. "Later." I nod at Ty who glances around before slipping into the closet. Quickly walking down the hall I follow Dels out onto the greenspace where she's posted up on a bench, book in hand. "What are you reading?" I ask sitting down as close to her as possible without actually touching her. She sighs putting her bookmark between the pages and turning to face me. "Why? Have you suddenly taken up reading?"

Loretta cried, but Delia had been blinded by her revenge against Fabian and didn't realize she was making the same mistake Fabian had made. "Oh dear, don't take it too personally. This man is evil; let me tell you a secret about why he comes for girls like you," Delia's voice dropped as she brought her lips close to Loretta's ear. "Fabian is obsessed with one lady — her name is Elara Rose." "Delia, I can make it up to you. What's your price?" Fabian asked and began to exchange words with Delia. Loretta wanted to ask more questions, trying to understand what Delia meant when she said that Fabian was obsessed with a woman named Elara Rose.

⸻ LENA The hotel room was unbearably quiet after Christian left. Alone with my thoughts, I picked up the phone and put it down at least a dozen times. Who could I even call? There was no one I trusted to give me an unbiased opinion. My situation was too close to home for my mom or sister. There was always Delia, but she’d been with Tig since she was fourteen and still believed in fairy tale endings. Her reality didn’t include a small child, a manipulative ex, or growing up with a father who forgot her and a mother too broken to leave the house for years.

GRIFFIN ( Flashback ) Weeks slowly went by, and weeks turned to months. Living with Delia had been the best thing ever. She had become more docile compared to the first weeks of her trying to escape me. She did all the chores around the house and prepared meals for the both of us.

"Not right away. But he found records—medical records, police reports—that didn't match the story Riley was spreading. The dates were wrong. The details didn't line up." I remembered the day I had received the investigator's report, how my hands had trembled as I'd read through the evidence. "Eventually, we tracked Delia down. She's been living in a small town upstate, working as a waitress. When I first approached her, she didn't want anything to do with me or the Lorenzo " name. There was something about her I decided not to tell him about. "What changed her mind?" I smiled, remembering the turning point in my conversations with Delia. "I showed her the

"I ordered this for myself, I was just going to find a cool spot to drink..." Delia laughed. "You're still such a terrible liar Celine, and you're also very far behind. Do you think you are going to win over me with how slow you have been? Then again, with that face of yours, I understand why you are skeptical of putting yourself out there," she said, and my heart nosedived. "I have given my all to the company Delia, I won't allow you to steal it from me just because you think it's fun to destroy me"

Delia sighed and inspected her fingernails. I rolled my eyes and started to walk away. The last thing I needed was to get involved in some petty drama. But before I could take another step, Delia stepped in front of me, blocking my way. "Don't mind Delia. She's just jealous because she thought she had a chance with Hughy," Janie said, smirking. "I don't have time for this," I said, trying to push past Delia. "You should have thought twice before getting involved with Hughy. He's not worth it," Delia said, her voice dripping with venom. "That's enough!" I said, my patience wearing thin. "I don't care what your problem is with me, but if you don't back off right now, I'll make sure you regret it." Delia looked like she was about to say something else, but Janie grabbed her arm and pulled her away. "Let's go, Delia. She's not worth it," Janie said, casting one last smirk my way before they both disappeared down the path.

If she ever escaped this place, Delilah promised herself that she would get an indoor library in her house. If she ever got a house. She already got the extra room in her house filled up with shelves of books too, so that counted as a mini library. Her stomach rumbled and she decided that it was time for her to leave the library. She placed the books she had and decided to pick up a book titled Guide To Demons and another romance novel to read for the night. On her way down, she ran into Eriel. “Guide to demons?” Eriel chuckled. Delilah noticed how tall he was, as usual, and wondered if other supernatural species had that kind of height too. Was it just humans who were ridiculously small?

“Is something wrong?” Delia scowled into the camera. “S has been all over my threads saying things about slaves, about humans, about wolves. S has seriously been pissing me off, if you want to know the truth. And now I find out S is Scott Cavendish. Do you know how many people I know hate his guts?” She broke off then and looked contrite. “No offense.” “What does that mean?” Zane asked, looking offended. I held up a hand. “Let me play ambassador here.”

The others looked at Delia. Delia felt very anxious and sweat dripped down her forehead. She was indeed very famous and had all sorts of awards to her name. Everyone in Rivenesco respected her, and she was very arrogant about it. Yet, even with all of her knowledge, she was unable to cure Elijah. “I… I can’t cure him…” she stammered in the end with her head down. “You’re Rivenesco’s most famous physician! How are you not able to treat him?” The other Wyatt sisters could not believe it.

he steps closer, placing his hands on her shoulder "Calm down Delia, breathe in and out " " I can't " She kept on shivering, body trembling. " what happened, what did the book do," Sebastian asked and she looked at him in his eyes. " It ruined my life, my family" a tear dropped from her eyes " It possessed my innocent sister, causing her to kill her father, mother, and brother… this book made my hand fill with the blood of my very own sister" " You killed her?" Delia buried her face in Sebastian's chest " I had no choice" she cried. And I'm left wondering, what exactly is in this book and what the hell have I gotten myself into.

At this point, Jane welcomed it. After she chased Delia to the dark room, everything went to hell. Delia moved quickly, surprising Jane, and cornered Kerry in the blink of an eye. Where she'd learned to move like that, Jane didn't want to know. But she did know one thing, Delia knew all about lycans and werewolves because she hunted them. She had no idea that was even a thing. Hunting supernatural beings? Who knew? She'd pulled the crossbow out of nowhere and handled it like a pro. It'd scared the pee out of her.

I read the message three times. Each time I read it my thumb pressed harder against the screen, like pressing harder would change the words or rearrange them into something less terrible. They stayed the same every time. Your mother is in more danger than you know. Delia had written that. Delia, who had spent two years sitting across from me at dinner tables and sharing hallway bathrooms and borrowing my umbrella without asking. Delia, who had been sleeping with my boyfriend the entire time. Delia, who had smiled at me with Roland's eyes and her mother's mouth and I had never once looked closely enough to see what was underneath all of it.

This assistant she had seen before, was Hayden's most capable henchman, Hayden had sent this person over, did it mean that, in fact, his heart cared about her? "Delia, the things you want have been bought, see what's missing?" The doctor had already said that Delia would be hospitalized for at least two more months, that's why she had asked her assistant to buy a change of clothes and toiletries. "Not bad, that's all, thank Hayden for me." The assistant didn't say anything, only nodded. Delia took a sip of water, thought of something and suddenly spoke, "How are things going with Otis?" She had gotten word that Hayden would bail Otis out, but she privately didn't want Otis to come out too quickly.
