Delilah's POV:My heart broke but I expected this much, "How are you, mom?" She yelled on the other side, "Don't you fucking dare to call me that. We are so done with you. We were glad that you had run away. The burden was off of us." My throat clogged, "Don't worry, I am not coming back." Relief washed over her, "Thank God. Then why did you call?" Snapping my eyes close, I asked her, "How old was I when you adopted me?" She hissed in my ear, "Just why are you reminding me of that regretful moment of my life?" Tears prickled at the back of my eyes, "Just answer, please." She bit out, "Three." I swallowed hard, "From which orphanage?" "The Hope. What else?" I blinked back tears, "That's all. Thanks." She said in a really harsh tone, "Listen, Delilah, you are gone from our lives, okay? So, please, just stay gone. No need to call any of us ever again." The line went dead. And so did my heart. Restlessness couldn't describe the way I was feeling after that phone call. Ever sin
Delilah's POV: With silent footsteps, he started walking like he knew every crook and corner of the wood. I followed him closely, feeling much safer now. I never even questioned in my mind about where he was taking me. Why and when had I started trusting this man so much? Xee remained quiet and walked silently. His footsteps weren't even making any sound as he padded on the ground. After a few minutes of hushed walking, he took me to a clearing and then finally turned around. His intense gaze didn't waver from me as he took off his robe and threw it over a lower branch. He was wearing a royal blue dress shirt and black pants. He was looking so handsome in that attire. The way his shirt was hugging his chest tightly, enunciating the muscles beneath was so mouth-watering. I actually refrained from checking the drool pooling out of my mouth. Just to divert my mind, I asked him, "Were you in the office before coming here?" He simply nodded, "Yeah, Antonio was here." I thought back, "
Xander's POV:When I was first attracted to Delilah, I decided never to expose her to my world and to always save her from the dangers lurking on this side. I controlled myself. I promise I tried so much. But it wasn't in me. It wasn't in me to stay away from her.And then I thought, alright, I'll just have a look at her from afar and would leave it to that. But the more I got to see her, the more I wanted to get closer to her. The thirst never quenched and with time I got totally addicted to her.I had never before been attracted to any girl because I saw no point in being with one who wasn't even my mate because we were made to eventually go to our fated mates. But ever since I saw a pretty, stubborn girl in the forest fighting me to save my own life, the line between right and wrong blurred for me.But I knew all along that if I kept her with me, she would also be exposed to the demons of my world. That's why when Antonio saw her in the woods while patrolling the area as per routin
Delilah's POV: By the time I entered the hostel, it was already 11 pm. A weird type of excitement was coursing through my body. I couldn't believe I just witnessed something so out of this world. How could such a phenomenon be reasoned by any science or knowledge? No wonder supernatural creatures live in hiding. People are not ready to witness and accept what they can't justify by logic. Climbing up the stairs, my mind went back to that moment when Xee changed into a Lycan bit by bit. Would I ever recover from the shock? But for some reason, I was also feeling happy. Xee showing me what he really was felt like another barrier had been crossed between us. Smiling vividly. I unlocked the door and stepped into the room. I gasped sharply as my heart lurched into my mouth. In the center of the room, a figure was standing with wild hair all around it. My hand clutched my chest and I blinked hard to focus in the dark. I could hear low whimpers coming from where the figure was standing and
Delilah's POV: After cake cutting, Adeline and I went down to the mess hall to grab a cup of coffee. I have been thinking about it for a few days. One thing was certain; something was happening to me. I was sure of it. And it was something related to the supernatural world. But what exactly was it? I had no idea about that. Now I had two options; whether to accept it or run away from it only to be chased and haunted by it. After much thought, I chose the first one. Blowing on the hot coffee, I asked Adeline, "Should I start from the orphanage?" She was lost, "Huh? About what?" I cleared my throat, "Didn't you say I should dig into my ancestry?" Her eyes twinkled and she nodded her head violently, "Ohh, that...yes yes, you definitely should. Seems like you have finally made up your mind." I hesitated, "Yeah. I talked to mom yesterday," and then looked at her, "You were right. The timeline did match. I was adopted at 3 years of age." I enunciated my next words, "If, and only IF, t
Delilah's POV: The car stopped in front of the cafe and we got out. Just as Addy opened the entrance door, a chorus of Birthday songs erupted in the air. Dozens of people were gathered around the table bearing a three-tier birthday cake and many other snacks. After greeting everyone I knew and those whom I did know nothing about, I turned in a full circle to have a good look around the place. Apparently, Adeline had booked the whole cafe for my birthday party and decorated it with a champagne-colored theme. Well, that explains why she was so adamant that I finalize that party dress days before my birthday. Behind the main table, there was a decoration of flowers and fairy lights, and 'Happy Birthday Dee' was written in Italic lettering on the wall. Another small table was placed at the corner which was laden with birthday presents. Everyone surrounded me as they chanted, "Make a wish," repeatedly. Grinning widely, I closed my eyes and thought hard about what to wish for. Everything
Xander's POV:"Antonio and I would be patrolling the east side of the forest," I announced the plan of the night.The whole pack was gathered in the office, finalizing the plan for tonight. Today was a full moon which meant the first transformation of new werewolves would be happening tonight. Every full moon, the lycan packs patrol the different areas of the city to make sure that newly shifted werewolves who tend not to have much control over their hunger do not harm any human."Alpha Xander, what are your orders about rogue lycans?" asked David.Not only the protection of new werewolves was important but keeping rogue lycans at bay was equally essential as they tended to lose complete control over their senses under the spell of the new moon and wander around the city to prey on humans and new and weakling werewolves.I looked into the eyes of my warriors and declared, "Any rogue lycan who appears to be a threat to the innocent must be killed instantly."I turned my attention towar
Delilah's POV: I felt like rising from the deep slumber when my eyes slowly peeked into a dark room. I winced at the headache and focused on the man sitting beside me on the bed. His stance was as rigid as a rock, staring straight ahead at the wall, and breathing deeply. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and recalled the unbelievable events of the night. It felt like the time between the party and the woods was all the fragment of a dream but I knew it was real. I was a lycan...or a werewolf. I was yet to find out. Slowly, I moved my hand to his forearm and mumbled weakly, "Hey." Xee instantly jolted out of his haze and jerked his body to face me. Planting his hands on either side of me on the bed, he inquired, "How are you? Are you okay?" The lines of worry etched his face as he loomed over me. I placed my palm on his cheek and smiled slightly, "This time, it would be you with a lot of questions." Remembering our old conversation, his lips curved up in a smirk, "A million of
