"Have you ever seen his wolf?"Delilah parted her lips but then zipped them immediately. She looked away from her.Everett's grandmother looked at Delilah with a pair of doubtful eyes. "Is your silence telling the answer? Is it yes?"Delilah lowered her head and nodded slightly.She heard a gasp. She looked at Everett's grandmother and saw her wide eyes."H-He l-let you see his w-wolf?" Grandmother stuttered, kind of asking lowly as if someone would listen to her.Delilah stared at grandmother and thought about how to answer her. Should she tell her the truth?She shook her head when her mind reminded her of Everett's angry look. He would not like that for sure."There was a situation when I saw his wolf." Delilah replied to her.Grandmother's eyes became teary, her face turned bright."Come here, my child. Come to grandma."Delilah slowly went to sat beside her.Grandma patted her head and said,"You don't know how big the matter is."Delilah was confused. "What do you mean, grandma?
"Everett, Tell me the truth. Do you like her?"Grandma scanned Everett's expression. Like burning in fire, he looked furious."If you don't, then how come you let her stay with you? You even showed her your wolf? Whoever had seen your wolf never came back alive. Then what is so special about her that made you change your mind?""You are talking too much, old woman. Did you forget who I am? Or are you confusing me with your other grandson?"Everett's cold voice echoed throughout the whole room. Grandma chuckled. "Silly boy. Who are you? Who do you think of yourself?""Beast."Grandma shook her head. "Stop calling yourself a beast. You are just a different rank from others, not a beast.""Why? Didn't others call your son the same? A beast?"Grandma looked away from him. A tear rolled down her cheek. "You are still thinking about him?""Do you want me to forget him?"Grandma shook her head and wiped her tears. Her hand grabbed Everett's attention. A few blood clots were visible in her s
"She will sit here with me because she is my woman."Delilah looked at Everett with wonder in her eyes. 'Did he just call me his woman?' She thought and stared at him."H-How can you say that, E-Everett?" The queen asked him with a shaken tone. Delilah guessed that they had never seen Everett's this look before. 'How could they see? He only came here for his grandma after years. They don't look close to their son.' Delilah gulped when the queen glared at her."Calm down, Everett. She is your mother, you can not talk to her like that in front of a low key girl."Everett growled which almost shook the whole table. Delilah touched his arm and tugged it. "Just leave it. I can eat later."He turned his head to her. "Did I tell you to speak?"She shook her head and glanced at grandma. She saw grandma staring at Everett with a smile on her lips. She turned her eyes to Delilah. Delilah begged her with her eyes to control the situation."Everett, calm down, my child. Delilah is your wom
When Delilah woke up, it was early morning. She sat up and yawned. She looked beside her. "As usual, an empty bed."She sighed and got out of bed. She strode to the bathroom but saw a beautiful bottle green colored dress on the couch.She headed to the couch and touched it. "Who put this dress here?"She thought for a moment then realized that grandma sent it. Because she told them that she had arranged everything for them.She took the dress and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she wore the dress.She went out and looked at herself in the big mirror. She looked like someone else. How could beautiful clothes change someone like this?"People said right. An appearance can change the whole person. But what about their hearts? Valueless?"She asked herself. Then she combed her hair nicely. She had never worn a pretty dress like that before. She liked it.She came out of the room and walked to grandma's room. She saw a middle-aged man checking on grandma. She understood t
"Then why don't you get a mate for yourself?"Delilah looked at Everett to hear his answer. Was it possible? Would he ever mark her as his mate?Everett scoffed at Maverick. "Why are you always so curious about me? If you are so interested, then come to my forest at once. I will answer you at that time."He paused and glanced at the king and queen."One more thing, I am just trying to keep myself calm for that old lady. So don't force me to get back to myself. Otherwise, those rumors about the beast are not false. A man who can kill his own mate can kill you too."Others looked stunned by his words. Maverick glared at him."The day you try to attack my family, your head will be in my hand, beast." Maverick gritted."Maverick!"Amanda yelled at her grandson.Everett laughed and replied to Maverick. "Will see."Everett glanced at his grandmother the last time and then left the royal palace while grabbing Delilah's hand.Delilah kept staring at Everett.'Why did his brother just say suc
'Havana? Who is she?'Delilah turned around and closed the door. She glanced at them. She did not like how they were talking to each other."Everett, who is she?"Havana asked Everett while pointed at Delilah. Delilah pouted when she heard the woman calling Everett's name without any fear. He did not even stop her from calling his name."I can't believe you are living with another person. Is she your maid?" Havana said as she glanced at Delilah."No, she is my slave."Havana looked stunned, which did not go unnoticed by Delilah. "S-Slave? You mean she is here for your house chores, r-right?" Havana asked and chuckled awkwardly.Everett glanced at Delilah who looked at him back."No, she is not my maid but a slave." He said again. His answer didn't change, nor did he explain anything.Havana stared at Everett for some time, then looked away. "I see. By the way, you have something for me to do, right? Let's talk about it then." Havana said and sighed. Delilah was mad at Everett. He
"It's related to Prince Everett's mate.""His mate?" Delilah asked. She wanted to know about his mate all the time."Yes." The woman replied. "What about his mate?"The woman looked at her as she scanned her expression. "First tell me, have you found your mate yet?"This woman asked her the same question before. That time she did not get her mate. But now, she knew who her mate was and what happened to him."No." Delilah replied calmly. She could not tell others about what happened to her mate. She could not tell others that Everett killed him because that man wanted to rape her and wanted to make her a sex tool.The woman looked worried. "I am afraid he will not be there if you go with your mate when you find him.""I don't want to go with anyone either."The woman gasped. "Young lady, have you lost your mind? Are you sure that you know everything about him? He killed his mate. He can kill anyone in this world."'He will never do that with me.' Delilah said to herself. Though he m
"Havana loves Everett and he knows it."Something shattered inside Delilah. She gaped at Conor like a mannequin."He knows that?" She asked him as she whispered."We all friends know that. But we don't dare to talk to Everett about it. We always wanted to give them privacy. But we all know that Havana was super glad when she heard about Everett's mate's death." Delilah felt gashes lumped in the corners of her eyes. She looked away from Conor. "I have to go back to work otherwise Miss Winters will scold me again.""Do you want me to scold her for you?"She shook her head and said he did not have to do it. Delilah went back to her shift. However, her mind was somewhere else.'How easily Conor told me about Havana. He was the one who convinced me to stay with his friend. How can he tell me about it like that? Why doesn't he stop Havana from getting close to Everett? Can't he see I am with Everett now? I have already spent a night with him. He calls me his slave, but does that mean he
