"Goodnight, my little moonpie!" Delilah kissed the forehead of Nathan and caressed his face lovingly. She looked at his peaceful sleeping face and her heart filled with warmth. She smiled at him and felt all the comfort in the world. How blessed she was to have him in her life!He is her world and she will do everything to protect him. Everything!With one last kiss, she got up from the bed and slowly walked out of the room after securing the windows and all. She didn't want to wake him up, so he slowly closed the door behind her. She let out a long sigh as she tried to loosen up her sore muscles. She worked a lot today but it still wasn't done. She has to wipe the bannister off the staircase. Then maybe she will be able to rest a little. She doesn't have any complaints about doing all the work. From childhood, she has learned to accept what life throws at her. She is ready for everything.The only thing she wasn't ready for in her life was getting rejected by her mate. Even that
"I am hungry! Give me food!" Stephen stomped like a child as he threw tantrums like a child while sitting on the kitchen slab. Delilah who was stirring the soup gave him an irritated look. She had enough of him as he has been eating her head for the last thirty minutes. "Will you shut up and sit straight or should I walk away?!" She threatened with the spatula holding in front of his face which successfully intimidated him. He looked at her with widened eyes before shutting down. "Goddess, you are scary! Have you always been like this?" He mumbled under his breath which she heard and glared at him once again. "No, since I have been destined to be your mate, I turned like this." She snapped while concentrating back on cooking. "Hey, don't make it sound like a bad thing. Girls are dying to be my mate." He snapped back. She glared at him after hearing that but didn't reply to him because it was going to lead to an unending banter. And she doesn't want to have that conversation with
TWO DAYS LATER"Move those to that corner. We will have the drink section outside. We don't want any drunk heads in the pack house." Delilah ordered the pack pack members who were helping her in the first step of decorating the place for the gala for the red moon night, in a few days. She pointed where to push the sofas to make a sitting area. The middle of this huge pack house is going to be the dance floor. She had made a blueprint of the decoration already and shared it with Damon who liked it a lot. She knows what she's doing when things like decorating and rearranging are in question. "Luna, which flower should we order?" Two women came with many types of flowers in their hands, in a basket, to show her and get her opinion. Those flowers immediately put a smile on her face. She loved flowers. Especially red roses. They were her favourite. "Red roses. We are going to have a theme party. The old vintage red and black party. After all, it's the red moon ceremony. Red roses are t
"Melissa? What are you doing here?" Delilah asked, standing up, with a frown as she looked at the blonde intruder. She remembers Melissa very well and absolutely hates her. Melissa looked at her from head to toe with a judgemental look and that's when Delilah announced within her that she will never like her in this life."I am his future Luna queen. Of course I am going to be here." Melissa replied with arrogance and pride as she walked toward Stephen and stood beside him. She pushed Delilah on the way to Stephen which Delilah didn't like at all. "What are you still doing here?" Melissa asked after reaching Stephen and putting an arm behind his back and another on his chest. Delilah noticed her little action before giving a look at Stephen who was looking back at her blankly. She put on her blank face as well before looking back at Melissa with her chin held high. "Well, if you are his future Luna, I am his current luna." She answered as the power of being an Luna lady reeked from
"Delilah? What were you doing there?" Jennifer asked with a deep frown after everyone left the room. She walked close to her and touched her to steady her swaying body. She was worried for her. "Oh...I... I was working.." Delilah replied absentmindedly as she tried to shake away everything that just happened. Jennifer frowned after hearing her. "How did you wound yourself?" She asked with a deep frown as she took her hands in her. The wounds were healing but it reopened after the little interaction with Melissa.Delilah looked down at her hands after hearing Jennifer's question. What was she thinking when she let Stephen squeeze through her walls again? Did she really think he cared? He didn't! He left her vulnerable. Once again."I...I was going to bandage them.." Delilah replied in a low tone, making her friend more confused. "Here? At this dirty place? By yourself?" She asked in disbelief as he looked at her face carefully. "Yeah..." She replied in a shaky tone. "What's wrong
A FEW HOURS LATER"Careful!" Stephen shouted and scooped her in arms and hugged her tightly while pressing her closer to his heart. He was scared. As soon as Delilah felt she wasn't falling down, Stephen caught her at the end moment and saved her, she had kicked her ego for some time and hugged him tightly. She was scared. They both were in each other's embrace for a long time, relishing the moment that nothing bad happened while closing their eyes. Their breathing was uneven and their hearts were pounding crazily. It was after sometime that Delilah realized what happened and what she was doing, she froze. Was she dreaming or was Stephen really here and saved her at the end moment? She understood from the tight hug and crazy heartbeat of his that he was scared.Stephen couldn’t calm his heart down yet. Thanks to his stars, he agreed to Damon's word and thought to check up on her but he had never expected to find her in the lobby, struggling to walk. "You will never learn!" He grow
"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up! How long are you going to sleep for?! Mommy!" The familiar little hands shook Delilah, gently but persistently.She slowly started to come back to consciousness, her mind emerging from the depths of sleep. She let out a groan as she opened her eyes, blinking against the sudden intrusion of light, and gradually came back to her senses. Her head throbbed with a relentless ache, a reminder of the exhausting gala she had organized the night before."Nathan, baby, can you please keep it low? Mommy's head is aching," she said slowly and lovingly as she picked him up, her arms wrapping around her son. She placed him on her lap and kissed his soft cheek, eliciting a delighted giggle from the little boy. Despite her discomfort, she couldn't help but smile at his infectious joy. Nathan, with his curly hair and innocent blue eyes, was the center of her world.Nathan, understanding his mother's request, listened attentively and refrained from any further outbursts, althoug
A FEW HOURS LATER "Oh, my god! Noah!" Delilah exclaimed loudly and gave him a hug. "What are you doing here?!" She asked in total surprise. "Why? You are not happy to see me here?" Noah asked with a fake frown making Delilah chuckle at him. She gave his bicep a light punch."You will never change." She joked. "Of course, I am happy to see you here. I am seeing you after so long! You haven't changed a bit!" She said and gave him another hug. Totally forgot about a certain someone.Noah, Delilah's childhood friend. Stephen, Noah, Delilah, Damon, Jennifer, Ashley, they all grew up together till high school after which Noah shifted back to his father's pack who is an alpha as well. He is the current alpha of his pack. He was Delilah's childhood crush and we could say the same about Noah. Noah had proposed to her a lot of times in middle school when Delilah laughed it off thinking it off as some kind of joke and Noah also used to wave it off saying he was actually joking. They were alm
