Chapter 22. Raquel's Arrival 2. Lilian's Pov I could hear my heart pounding loudly in my chest as I sat in my room. Tears were streaming down my face and I couldn't stop them no matter how hard I tried. The thought of Raquel coming to the palace as Liam's wife was unbearable. I had hoped that Liam would never agree to the marriage, but now it was too late. I couldn't imagine going back to being a slave again. The mere thought of it filled me with dread and despair. I had come so far, from being a lowly slave to being treated as a human being, and I was not ready to lose that. I felt like I was drowning in my own fears and doubts, unsure of what my future held. Just then, my maid walked into the room, and I tried to wipe away my tears quickly. I didn't want her to see me in this state, but it was too late. She came over and sat next to me, holding my hand in hers. "Liliana, everything is going to be alright," she said in a soothing voice. "How can you say that? Raquel is comin

The Lycan's Secret Mate 24. Raquel's Era. As I lay in my bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind raced with thoughts of the impending doom that Raquel's arrival brought. I couldn't help but feel anxious and scared about what the future held for me. I was just a human, a slave, in a world of powerful Lycans who saw me as inferior. And with Raquel's plan to bring me back to slavery, I was sure that my life would become a living hell.As I tried to calm my nerves, I heard a knock on my door. It was my maid, Maria. She came in with a tray of food and tried to cheer me up. "Liliana, don't worry. I'm here for you, and we'll get through this together," she said, placing the tray on my bedside table.I tried to force a smile, but my fear had taken over me. Maria sat beside me and tried to distract me by telling me stories of her childhood. I listened attentively, but my mind kept drifting to the thought of Raquel and Liam ruling over me.As Maria left, I lay on my bed, staring out of the windo

The Lycan's Secret Mate 26. The Ball Party.Ever since Liam spoke to me harshly,I haven't felt so bad about myself and felt left out for a long time,It was as though he was finally seeing me as a slave that I was and it didn't felt good to be refered to as a slave by someone who practically called me his mate and said he was coming to claim me ,I remember he told me that he was going to take me to a place I will be treated better so why all of a sudden was he treating me harshly,I needed answers so I decided to talk to my maid because she was the only friend I had here in this palace." My lady,What is the matter??? You do not look so well,Is it the baby ??" Mary was looking so concerned for me and I really appreciated the fact that she was willing to keep my pregnancy for the masked man a secret but I was afraid that one day she ass going to turn her back at me."

The Lycan's Secret Mate 28 The Decision After my conversation with Mary, I knew I needed to talk to Xander. So, the next day, I went to visit him in his pack. I found him in his office, surrounded by piles of papers."Hey, Liliana. What brings you here?" Xander asked, looking up from his work."I need to talk to you," I replied, sitting down in one of the chairs in front of his desk."Sure, what's on your mind?" Xander asked, putting his work aside."It's about what we talked about before, about me coming to your pack," I said, looking at him nervously.Xander raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Oh, I see. And what do you want to talk about?""I...I need some time to think about it," I said, hesitantly. "I don't want to make any hasty decisions that I might regret later."Xander nodded. "I understand, Liliana. Take all the time you need. I don't want you to do anything that you're not comfortable with."I breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Xander. I really appreciate it."Xander

The Lycan's Secret Mate 30.The Apology.Dairus was standing outside Liam's office, his heart pounding with nervousness as he tried to gather the courage to apologize to Liam. He knew he had been in the wrong for yelling at him earlier and he needed to make things right. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door."Come in," Liam's voice boomed from inside.Dairus opened the door and walked in slowly. Liam was sitting behind his desk, looking serious and stern. Dairus felt a pang of guilt in his chest. He had never seen Liam so angry before."Liam," Dairus said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I am here to apologize for my behavior earlier. I was out of line and I am sorry."Liam looked up at him, his eyes cold and unforgiving. "You should be sorry. How dare you speak to me like that in my own pack? You disrespected me and my authority."Dairus hung his head in shame. "I know, and I am truly sorry. Please forgive me."Liam stood up from his desk and walked towards Dairus, his wo
