Novel & Cerita Miraculous Ladybug Fanfiction Lila Exposed

It was as if every other meal I’d ever had had been a mockery of this sublime moment. “And that,” said Salem, “is how lilitu feed.” He pulled out of me, and the warm remains of his seed trickled down onto my inner thighs. He smiled at me, and in spite of myself, I smiled back. My back stung, and I was still bleeding around my wings, but I didn’t care. I turned to the looking glass again to examine my new appendages.

Lila The glade was too quiet. The moonlight slanted through the trees, same as it always had. It was silver and soft but there was something wrong in the air. Something sour beneath the sweetness. The trees didn’t breathe. The leaves didn’t move. Lyric stood across from me. Her hair whipped in a wind I couldn’t feel, her eyes glowing the red of blood left to dry. At her feet lay Milo; his little frame curled, his throat dark and wet, one hand still outstretched like he’d tried to crawl.

“They took him from me within seconds of his birth. I never even got to hold him.” “I see,” Mirabella mused. “That explains a lot.” Eying Lila for a long moment, she finally asked, “Would you like to see him?” Lila’s heart lept from her chest and landed in her throat at that question. She had no idea why she would feel both nervous and excited about seeing the infant that she’d convinced herself was an abomination, but she did. With a rapid nod, she eagerly asked, “Is that possible?” Mirabella gave a nervous shrug and whispered, “I make no promises, but I will try.” Looking around, she asked, “Are you able to walk?”

She looked at me, cheeks puffed like she was about to explode. "I was going to sing," Lila whispered fiercely. "Really loud. Just like a siren I am." I froze, heart skipping. I could see the shimmer of magic starting to rise in her throat. Not here. Not now. I dropped to one knee and took both her little hands in mine. "You can’t do that, bug," I said gently but firmly. "Not here. People aren’t ready for that. Remember what we talked about?" Her lip trembled. "But she was mean!"

Her fingers lift to her neck, to the mark, and she stares at me like I'm a stranger. Oh fuck! What have I done... What has Ace made me do? "Lila... I'm sorry... I wasn't myself... I wasn't..." I'm cut off by the heavy sound of rumbling thunder, lightning... and a big light source from no direction. I'm being pushed off the bed, by the light? "Lila..." The words are cut off from my lips. Her body is glowing... I can't see... it has me blind. Everything was like a dream, the gnashing sounds of thunder threatening like we're in a thunderstorm, and the lightning in my room... and Lila staring in awe...

I scowl and turn away from the gate, disgusted by the gnawing uncertainty building in my gut. This isn't freedom. This is supposed to be manipulation. But...why does it feel so different? I slink back into the palace, moving back through the halls, silent as breath, tracing the path back to her wing. I know the layout now. Lilac Palace is small, pathetically so, but elegant and clean. It echoes the princess perfectly, though: forgotten, quiet, but stubbornly alive and thriving. I slip into her room, the door creaking only slightly. I might need to steal some oil from the kitchen later and put some of it there.

“An insect flew into my eye. That’s all.” Liam tilts his head, clearly skeptical. “An insect? At night?” “Yes,” Lila says quickly, nodding. “It must have gotten lost and found its way in here. But it’s gone now, so there’s nothing to worry about.” He doesn’t seem entirely convinced, but he rests his head against her chest anyway, his small hands clutching the fabric of her shirt. “Okay. But if it comes back, I’ll catch it and chase it away for you.”

“Okay. I’ll call and cancel. Let me know when you want to set this up again.” Something was telling me there wouldn’t be a midnight yacht ride in the future, but I didn’t say that to him. Instead, I thanked him and then disconnected the mindlink. “They are never going to talk to me again,” Lila continued to cry; now she had tears streaming down her face. “And Matty will hate me even more.” “Who the hell is Matty?” I found myself asking a little too harshly. “A guy who hates me because I’m a Volana,” Lila pouted. “He says my kind is dangerous. He won’t even give m a chance.”

I question, trying very hard to look at her and not the big wolf kneeling at the edge of the passenger seat. “Ones that heal.” Lila claims, looking up at me with my own eyes. “or give you nice dreams” she ponders another moment, “love ones.” “Your mommy knows all about love spells” Bastien declares, the corner of his mouth twitching upward. My eyes narrow to slits, and I slip out of the car, carrying Lila with me. “Don’t you listen to him, Lila.” I instruct tritely, heading for the canal and its waiting ferry boats, flanked by my mate and his guards. “That big bad wolf is full of nonsense.”

“Or a hand that wanted it to look like a pipe.” He looked at her. A little respect sat in the gold. “You learn fast.” Her phone buzzed in her pocket. Then it buzzed again. Then again. Laila pulled it out. The screen was a mess of tags and shares. A pack page she did not follow had posted a photo of The Masks at night. Over it, in fat white letters: FIRST BLOOD. NEXT FIGHT NIGHT. ZARA’S PACK CALLS THE FACELESS ALPHA OUT. BRING THE GIRL WHO RUNS THE TILL.
