LILITH’S POV
I pass Ariel a constricted nervous smile before following Ivan out.He occupies the next high role after Alpha Kain and a potential source of information, that is if I ever get on his good side.He seems like the smart type that easily sees right through any possible façade I could whip up.Having him as a target is a potential risk, seeing as he could figure me out in seconds, yet I don’t completely scratch him off my list.“A piece of advice I’m sure you’ve heard more than a couple of times since coming here; if you want to keep that pretty head of yours on, it’d be best to hold your tongue and follow every single thing Alpha says.” Ivan says indifferently.Not necessarily wicked, yet not caring if I drop dead right this second.“You think I’m pretty?” I say, teasing instead of giving a serious response.He stares right back at me blankly, coming to a sudden halt in front of the wide double doors of Alpha Kain’s office and pushing the doors open.I pass one last sweet smile at him before walking in as expected of me.Like before, Alpha Kain sits at his desk, fully absorbed in his work. It’s until I’m a few feet away from him before he finally looks up.He drops his pen, rising to my feet.“You took too long. Next time when I summon you, I expect you to reveal yourself in less than 30 seconds.” He quips obnoxiously with his arrogant nose high in the airSuddenly, all that patience I had instilled into myself with calming breaths flies right out of me.I force a smile, a sweet soft one. It’s better than silence.His cold frown remains while he looks all over me now, assessing every inch of my body, like he’s suddenly realized some secret.“Kneel.” He says suddenly with unwavering cold eyes.I suck in every bit of my pride, dropping to my knee, looking up at him from my natural long and full lashes.He towers over me with a very slight and not so obvious glint of satisfaction in his eyes, satisfied with flaunting his power over me to my face.“This position suits you more.” He points out, picking up my chin harshly.I maintain a strained smile, wanting to win his favor.“Maybe now you realize your place after hours of reflection. Your only purpose is to serve.”Suddenly, he loosens the buckles of his belt, followed by the zipping of his pants that fall half way down his legs. He looks at me like some cheap dirty hooker.I bit harder on my lips, restraining myself harder than before..“Suck.” He points his rod at me, saying the very brief command.All I can think of is what kind of sick, messed up, over-entitled shit goes through his fucking mind.Every bit of me screams fight back, unable to take the demeaning behavior of brutish men towards pretty girls they believed they owned.My lack of movement irks him and he grips onto my chin again, forcing his rod right down my throat, groaning the process. All while, he uses my throat like some form of sex toy for his own pleasure.It only takes a few minutes of highly concentrated tolerance and counting to 10 backwards for me to explode mentally and forcefully pull away from him, spitting out the other way while gasping desperately for air.“What the hell!” I yell out, coughing and wheezing for air.I take enough of it, coughing harder before I look up at him into those cruel green eyes.“Is this some kind of sick punishment I get for disobeying your rules?”Is he trying to get back at me by choking me?I make the same mistake I had made hours ago, saying out how I really feel without a filter. I can't help it though, he simply infuriates me so much that I can't help saying what I really think.He stares back at me coldly, suddenly gripping tightly onto my cheek like before.“I have no use for a toy that can’t handle this much rough play.” He whispers harshly, displeased by my comment and audacity.“Or maybe it’s just the size of your ego that has me choking.”Shit, did it again.Now he visibly vexes, lifting me with my face, with just my sore cheeks while I clamor to my feet as well.“It seems the few hours of confinement weren’t enough to fix that disgusting attitude of yours.” His voice is deeper and colder, almost an inhumane growl.This time, I shut up, not wanting to be locked in for more than a day the next time.“This is what you wanted earlier, isn’t it? Purposely seducing me with your eyes at the auction like a desperate whore, sneaking into my office just to show me what you’re capable of, and worst off, causing a commotion; all to get my attention.” He lets go of my face, leaning in too close to me.Close enough that his seductive scent filters into my nostrils again. I unwillingly take it in, the alluring scent of his.“Desperate but impressive for a stupid she-wolf.” He snorts in the most disrespectful manner while mocking me.He probably thinks that I’m being disrespectful just to gain some attention from him, but the truth is I can’t stand his attitude long enough to kiss his ass like a good girl.Suddenly, I’m way too fed up with the disrespect to care. It’s clear he doesn’t even see me as a person or anything other than an object.I scoff, staring back at the ass in disbelief. My obvious facial reactions towards him seems to tick him off even more and he continues.“You seem to have forgotten where you stand. Don’t make me regret the pity I offered you.”Pity?“Trust me, the regret thing is a two way thing right about now.” I retort blankly without a skip in beat.He growls quickly, very briefly the angry eyes of his wolf glares right back at me, showing me just how much of himself he’s been holding back to not rip me apart.It takes only a glimpse of that to force my initial composure back, not wanting to be torn to pieces and leaving the mission half way done.I flinch away just while he steps even closer, waiting for the impact of his fist before they hit.Instead, the next time I open my eyes again, the distance between us is much larger than before while he paces back and forth in anger.I’m quickly moved to take it all back, apologize and start again. Now, I know to expect the worst from him. I can handle this much better.“Alpha…” I begin but he cuts in suddenly.“You need to be locked up again.” He mutters mostly to himself.I sigh, now tortured by the thought of being locked up in the four corners of my room for even more hours. Maybe this time it will be a full day.Maybe I could possibly sneak out through a window or vent and head back outside to get more info from Kierra.“Ivan.” He calls out to the Beta that shows up quickly.“Lock her up.” He orders.Ivan nods, walking up to me to take a hold of my arm like the previous guards had done.“Lock her up in the dungeon room for three days.”Wait, What?I turn to look at him in disbelief and shock.“W—Wait… please.” I plead just as Ivan grips my upper arm.I call out to the bastard but he doesn’t bother looking up at me, dropping back at his desk and resuming work with the most unaffected gaze.All while I’m dragged about like a criminal.***I remain quiet and unresisting while I follow Beta Ivan down to the dungeon, my new room for the meantime, till my punishment is over.I blame only myself for my current predicament. What was I expecting openly displaying disagreement with a self-righteous psychopath?And yet, I can’t bring myself to regret anything.This isn’t like me at all.I am Lilith Aragon, the best female spy my pack has to offer. I never let my emotions get the best of me and fuck up during missions. Why the hell does this one in particular affect me so much?The pack and that annoying obnoxious glint in his eyes; why do I let it get to me?Ivan pulls open the creaky metal bars and I walk in right before he shuts it, locking me in.The window is about as tiny as my head with no spaces or holes in the wall, so definitely no escaping for me.I expect Ivan to leave immediately but he lingers.“I know it’s none of my business and I’m not one to say anything where they are not needed…” He begins, causing me to raise a brow.Well, if you know you shouldn’t say shit, then don’t.“You really gotta kiss major ass if you want to live up to a week. Alpha Kain is different from anything you’ve ever encountered before.” He says pokerfaced.Tell me something I don’t know.“Why do you care if I last here long enough?” I ask.I never really appreciated unfounded concerns; there always is some kind of catch for anyone to be interested in you surving.He shrugs, however, showing a bit of emotion besides indifference for the first time.“You can say I find the new addition entertaining.”By new addition, he definitely means me.“What about you? Do you kiss the big bad Alpha’s ass to be here? Is that how you got the Beta gig?” I ask not having anything better to do and hey, he started the convo.He simply looks at me before turning to leave. While he walks away, I catch just a very brief flash of an entertained smile playing at his lips.LILITH’S POV:Sleeping in a cell is a very uncomfortable experience.From the chilling draft coming from only goddess knows, to the cold hard wet floors, the leaking ceiling and the roaches and rodents that casually pass by me; every bit of it is horrible.I’m used to adapting to the worst of situations due to the nature of my job, but I never appreciated moments like this. I could, however, live with them, knowing my plans were falling into place.In this situation, however, with my plans all ruined, none of this is worth anything.I’m cranky as hell and the sound of the gates leading to this dungeon wing being pulled open echoes down the hall to my cell room and has me waking up with annoyance.I really want to scream their ears off until I see who it is. I first notice the very familiar annoying snicker from the entitled bitch herself, Yvonne.“Well, well, well…” she begins like every evil villain does, having had an upper hand on their victims.“If it isn’t the new slut Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POV:His hand suddenly rips through his chest, pulling a pumping heart that beats for 5 seconds before stopping; the same amount of time it takes for his lifeless body to hang over me before he finally drops onto the floor.The guard moves away from my vision and the real perpetrator stands over me, holding the dead heart in his hands, staring at the amount of blood dripping down his fingers like it’s nothing.He tosses the heart aside like trash, turning to the other person right behind him, Ivan“Gouge out his eyes and put it on the display for disrespectful members of my guards to see and remember to keep their personal desires in check.”“Yes, Alpha.” Ivan says right before he pulls out a small dagger and leaves my field of vision.I’m gasping for air now, still falling into unconsciousness when he finally looks down at my limp body with an emotionless gaze. He stares at my almost naked chest just before he takes off the jacket hanging over his shoulders and drops it ov
LILITH’S POV:Alpha fucking Kain Gerard, the most unreadable bastard I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.Everything about him annoys the hell out of me.From his hellish attitude and the obnoxious gaze he passes on every one, like they are simply his underlings placed in this world to do just his bidding.Then, there’s the annoying yet drop dead gorgeous face of his that drives me completely mad.How anyone can be so unreasonable and cold, I will never know.I groan heavily, now shifting away from Ariel that sits behind me, gently applying a soothing balm to my now healing bruises.“I’m sorry to bother you, but can you say still for a moment?” She says with her timid voice, trying her best not to show her annoyance.I sigh.“Sorry, these past few days just haven’t been the best.” I say.Having fully given up on the ‘using the Alpha to succeed in my mission’ route, I have to spend much more time gathering enough information I can from other members of his court and his people a
LILITH’S POV“What the fuck are you doing here?”I unconsciously flinch at the sound of his voice raised at me, suddenly unable to look up into his eyes.Where had this all gone wrong?The plan had been almost perfect, in and out with no detection and yet, the Alpha just had to show up from nowhere. I wasn’t even able to detect his presence.Just what breed of wolf is this bastard?“I can explain.” I start, stalling to think up something.“You better start talking now before I really lose my temper and lock you up somewhere you’d never see the rays of the sun ever again.” He warns while lowering his voice.I gulp, taking a step away from his threatening aura that’s suddenly choking me.“Well… well, I was just trying to—”I stop mid-sentence just when rustling in the hedges around us becomes evident, drawing my attention away from the Alpha only momentarily.From the corner of my eyes, I see a reflection of light from something metallic. Before I can put everything together, Alpha Kain
LILITH’S POVDespite his cold and uncaring exterior, his lips are soft and warm against mine and unlike the first kiss we had shared that had been hard and demanding, this is the complete opposite.He presses gently against mine, showing just as much need as before but with a softness to it, switching off all logical thoughts hanging in my brain in the process.I let him into my mouth while he takes the opportunity to quickly suckle on my tongue now.With the strength I had no idea he still had, he lifts me up my butt while still sitting up in bed, dropping me right on his lap.And immediately, I feel his hard rod right underneath me, poking at my unclothed core through the thick blanket.An unconscious moan passes through my lips before I can stop myself.His hands slide up my thighs beneath the large shirt hanging over my naked body, feeling up my curves, squeezing my ass in the process.I bit hard on my lower lip to stop the moan from escaping but he forces his tongue deeper in my
LILITH’S POV:The very first useful information I’ve been able to get is written in the tiniest piece of paper, perfectly encrypted in case of interception.The paper lies in the pocket of my jeans but I just need to find a way to get it outside and pass it via bird to the Riverstone pack.The only problem now is Ivan standing right in my room, watching my every step.“Don’t you have other things to handle besides hanging around me? You are the Beta of this pack.” I say, trying to instigate some sort of warrior pride in him.He looks back at me dully.“Don’t worry, love, I have someone handling most of it while I work here.”“Aren’t you pissed off that your Alpha assigned you to be the guard of some defiant annoying girl?” I pry further, trying to get into his head.He should be as annoyed as I am, being stuck together despite our obvious dislike of one another.“Ah, so you do know that you’re annoying.” He quips back without even batting an eyelash.“That’s not the point…” I snap now
LILITH’S POV:Today already starts off differently from most with everyone running around, trying to make everything almost perfect for the convoy coming in from Silverstone pack.Just like their Alpha, everyone seems to be just as much of a perfectionist as he is. On the bright side, I have Ivan off my back for the most part.He’s been too engrossed in Beta duties to watch me like a hawk, which means I get to investigate the full degree of the event going on. The information I could possibly get from this meeting alone could be crucial.I could get close enough to this Alpha and secure data they’d share asnew allies to Kain, and deliver every juicy detail to Alpha Arden.Possibly information that could finally put me in a place where no one could ever look down on me again, that could finally get me the attention from Alpha Arden.Call me a girl with Daddy issues, but he’s been the closest thing to a father since the death of my parents and naturally, a child would strive to achieve
LILITH’S POV:“Alpha Kain Gerard!” Jared turns to him so fast.His tone changes quickly as though he’s more than pleased to see the man he had only greeted a minute ago.“I was just asking the help for directions.” He smiles effortlessly, like he wasn’t just actively hitting on me seconds ago and in the process of leaning in for a kiss.Kain’s frown remains and visibly deepens now. I can’t say if it’s because he naturally dislikes the man like I do, or because he’s seen something disturbing.“She’s not a help, she’s my concubine.” He responds coldly.Something in the way he claims me for himself seems almost possessive and tickles me in a funny way in my chest, but I brush it off.He simply sees me as an object as always.His cold eyes move towards me and the intensity has me shivering and smiling nervously. I immediately read the look he’s giving me.Come here.I don’t need to be told twiceI jog to the other side right by Kain’s, like a tiny bunny in the midst of two wolves.“My apo
