Lilia Vanrouge Novels & Stories

As I stood in the foyer, the scent of expensive lilies and stale gin hit me, a fragrance that had become Lilian’s signature over the last forty-eight hours. She was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, a robe draped over her shoulders, looking out at the skyline as if she still owned it. When she turned, her face was a mask of grief. The swelling from the hallway fight had gone down, but the bruising was still there, hidden under a thick layer of concealer. "Luca," she breathed, reaching out her hands. "Thank God. You’re the only one who hasn't abandoned me to that... that animal."

It made Selene smile looking between the two of them. She was proud of all her children. Lila was working on her career as an artist; she also has a strong goal of protecting Volana wolves from those who wish them danger. She’s been learning to strengthen her combat skills even though she’s already so good at it. Pretty soon, she will have to work to strengthen her Volana abilities as well. The world is still such a scary place for Volana to lurk. Blaise still has men that support him long after his death. They wish to cause harm to Volanas, and it makes Selene much more worried for Lila’s safety.

Lilia stood at the kitchen counter, a plate in her hand and a clean towel at the other. Carefully, she cleaned each plate one after the other to avoid any stain. Hebana stood at a point and observed each maids as they carried on with their duties. Her gaze got fixed on Lilia who stood quietly to herself, her eyes fixed on the plates she arranged. With an evil thought, Henana smiled and walked towards her, as she got towards Lilia who held a plate in her hand, Hebana looked at the plate and realized that it's one of the queen's special plates. Without wasting time, she hit Lilia's hand and the plate dropped to the floor and shattered into pieces.

The air grew heavy with a sense of reverence and caution, and the girls listened intently to Lila's words. "Lilian is a formidable and ancient being," Lila warned, her voice filled with both respect and caution. "She is the one who safeguards the secrets of Terrasia and ensures the balance of power among the skinwalkers. Approach her with humility and show her that you seek understanding, not to disrupt the harmony of this realm." Tiffany and Hailey nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. They knew that encountering Lilian would be no ordinary meeting, and they needed to tread carefully.

Her lips parted in a venomous smile as she whispered to herself, “Let’s see how much you love Elara when I take away the only reason you think she matters to you.” The car rolled to a stop outside her building, but Lila stayed seated for a moment longer, staring at her reflection in the tinted window. Her eyes were sharp, her beauty unshaken despite the rage twisting inside her. This wasn’t the end. This was just the beginning. She picked up her phone again, scrolling to another number on her list. A different contact this time, not Leonard’s assistant, but someone far more skilled at… adjustments. Someone who could make medical records, DNA results, and hospital files disappear or reappear

“Well, this is adorable.” The voice was smooth. Cold. And very familiar. Lila’s stomach dropped instantly. She didn’t need to turn around to know who it was. Vanessa Hart. The queen of Northbridge University. Slowly, Lila looked up. Vanessa stood a few feet away under the glow of the streetlights, looking as flawless as always. Her long blonde hair fell perfectly over her shoulders, and her fitted black jacket hugged her figure like it had been designed specifically for her.

Liliana bit her lips to hide her smile, “You were the one who asked for cooperation, with astonishingly generous terms, I might add.” Jonathan furrowed his brows and looked at Vincent, who shook his head. Liliana laughed, “We have never formally introduced ourselves. Allow me! My name is Liliana, founder and chief designer of L&L designs.” Vincent exclaimed, “It’s you.” Jonathan looked at her wide-eyed, but then he calmed himself. He recalled she had said that she would grow up to be an outstanding person. “You are hard to find, even more so pursue, Mrs. Liliana,” Jonathan remarked.

He held on to my right shoulder, so I turned to face him. "Will you take your hand off my shoulder or I'll turn you into a mouse?" I raised my left eyebrow, glaring at his cold yet undeniably handsome face. "Whoops!" He immediately took his hand off my shoulder. "You two! What are you waiting for?" The guard on the table called us. He's looking at me from head to toe right now. I quickly walk towards him and say, "My name is Alenna Delevigne from the city of Nalaknabak. I'm a..."

"I’m Julian Vane from Vane Capital. Just wanted to congratulate you. And Lilia... I’d love to hear more about your other business partner. The one who says you still owe him thirty thousand dollars from your 'entrepreneurial startup' last year?" Lilia froze. The emerald dress suddenly felt like a straightjacket.

Viola’s dux was Lillian, a fifth-year student of Avalon Academy. She didn’t seem to have much personality and seemed to have mastered the act of sneaking up on people. Viola had to guess it was due to her invisible aura, Lilian was so stealthy she could have been standing next to Viola for seconds and Viola wouldn't know. Lillian also barely spoke, and every time she spoke it was only because it was necessary. She had brown short hair that covered her eyes and dark brown skin. She was tall and lanky, way taller than Viola ever imagined a girl would be. But her stature wasn't so frightening since she looked frail all the time.
