"My Queen, we have taken her here as you ordered us."Delilah looked at the queen in horror. "Y-You ordered them?" She asked and stood straight. She thought it was Maverick, but it was not him but his mother? But why? "If you wanted to meet me, you could have sent me the message through them. I would come by myself. But they forcefully took me here." She said as she pointed her finger towards her cheeks, showing the red marks on her face because of the tied cloth.The queen chuckled when she saw Delilah's action."You are so naive. I didn't call you here. I ordered them to take you here to cage you.""C-Cage me"Delilah stepped back but her back pressed against a hard chest.She turned around and saw Maverick. She gasped."What? Where is all your courage that you showed me that day?"Delilah ignored him and stepped away from him. She looked at the queen and asked,"Why do you want to cage me? What did I do?"The queen was surprised by how boldly she asked her question.The queen wa
"I-Its P-Prince Ev-Everett."Maverick looked at the man in horror. "H-How can it be possible?"Delilah could see fear in his eyes. She felt relaxed in her heart.'Everett'She thought and sighed in relief. Maverick went to the man and grabbed his collar. "Where is my father? Has he come back yet?""N-No, my prince."Maverick moved back. Delilah stood up and ran to the door. However, luck was not on her side. Maverick held her hand and pulled her with him."What are you doing? Leave me. Leave my hand." Delilah shouted. But Maverick did not listen to her once. He took her to a hallway and passed through the hall. Then he stopped in front of a big door. The guards who were standing beside the door bowed to Maverick and opened the door for him.Maverick pulled Delilah inside and Delilah gasped.It was a prison. She could see cells on both sides."What are you doing? Why did you take me here?"Delilah asked and struggled to remove his hand from her wrist.Maverick was like stone. He did
Delilah was shouting for help. She was in the dark prison and she asked to be released from there.She felt her throat become harsh after shouting for a long time. She felt helpless. She sat on the ground and thought about what was happening to Everett.After a while, she heard noises. She stood up and step to the door. She grabbed the bars and tried to shout again."Is there anyone? Please help me."She saw a dark silhouette coming toward her cell. It was a man. He opened the door and said,"Let's hurry. Otherwise, I can not save you.""Thanks." Delilah said and went out of the prison. She looked around and saw there were no guards.She hurriedly ran towards the main door and came out of the prison.She turned to the man who had just saved her. She was stunned.It was Thompson, Amanda's butler or Delilah could say Amanda's man."Old lady told me to rescue you. She saw Prince Maverick coming out of this way."Thompson explained. Delilah nodded but paused."How did you send the guards
"I will mark your woman. Let's see how you will win over me after that."The moment Maverick's canine touched Delilah's neck, Maverick fell a push and fell on the ground."AAAAHHH"He groaned in pain. Blood rolled down from his canines. Delilah glanced at her bracelet. She remembered how that wizard told him that whenever any male wolf tried to get close to her, it would protect her.So he meant that. Whenever someone tried to mark her, it would save her.Delilah felt relieved when the bracelet actually protected her. She saw Everett go to Maverick and pulled him up. He clawed Maverick's cheek and it started to burn."AAAHHH! It's burning!"Maverick cried out in pain. All the wolves under Everett stepped back from Maverick.They could have killed Maverick the moment he came outside, but it was Everett's order not to kill Queen Ezenina, not her husband, not even her son. Because he would kill them, not anyone else. So they only attacked Maverick and did not try to kill him."MAVERICK!
The war was over. The palace and outside of the palace were stirred up. Everyone shifted back and went back to their places.Delilah was in Amanda's room.Amanda was crying while looking out at the widow. Her shaking hand was grabbing the white blind. She was an old woman. She could not take so much happening. It was true that her son Alfred killed her elder son Ezra. Her daughter in law was the one who was behind everything. Her grandson Maverick was not a good person, he wanted to kill Everett and almost succeeded once.If Everett killed them, it was his right to take revenge and Amanda did not oppose it. However, she was also a mother. She was not like Azenia, who only loved her one son. Amanda loved both of her sons but she was a strong Queen in her time. She could not let others be wronged.Delilah put her hand on Amnada's shoulder."Grandma."Amanda touched her hand and cried a lot."When your grandfather was alive, we lived a good life. Everett's father was from a different r
TWO MONTHS LATER Everything had changed in Delilah's life. Now she was living in her old pack. She was staying with the Alpha's family in the pack house. In those two months, she never felt any need because before thinking about anything the Alpha arranged everything for her.Delilah was quite surprised about Alpha's behavior. Because why would anyone be so happy to let her stay with them?Luna was also a good woman. She adored Delilah and told her that she could think of her as her mother.Delilah's step parents were in prison for trying to sell Delilah. When Delilah came back to this pack, the Alpha already punished her step parents for that."How are you feeling now?"Delilah heard a voice behind her. She turned around and saw Alpha Simon. Simon was Alpha Elias's son. He was soon to be head Alpha of the pack.Since Delilah started to stay in the pack house, they became good friends.Simon was a few months older than Delilah. "I am fine." Delilah replied."I don't think so." He
Delilah could not let her eyes off from Everett. She always thought of cutting his hair. She knew he would look good but that much good, she had never thought of. Everyone's reaction was the same as Delilah's. They could not look away from his handsome face.Delilah could see there were no scratches on his cheeks. So clean and fair.When Everett was coming down, Delilah felt that her heart beat was getting fast. She tightened her jaw and looked away from him.Delilah could see other Alpha and their families. So many young and beautiful girls came to attend the royal party just to meet the king.Delilah saw pleasure in those girls' eyes when they looked at Everett as if he was their dreamy boy.Of course, they were pleased. Their parents might take them to introduce them to the king. It was not a secret that the king would take a queen for himself soon. So it was a great chance for them and their daughters.Delilah glanced at Everett. Many Alphas went to him and introduced their famil
"Let's dance since the king has to dance first with his woman."Delilah was stricken dumb. "What do you mean?"He did not reply to her and dragged her with him to the dance floor where soft music was playing for the king to start the dance.Everett placed her left hand on his shoulder and grabbed her right hand with his right hand.She felt him placing his left hand on her waist slowly and then pulling her to him.She looked into his eyes and followed his steps."I didn't know you knew how to dance." She said."I had to learn many things in the last two months.""Good to hear that." She said and averted her gaze from him.She felt nervous under his gaze. Everyone was looking at them. They did not know who Delilah was but they thought she was one of the Alphas' daughter. Many Alpha's felt disappointed because this was the first dance that declared who the woman was. So that meant their daughters lost their chances.Many women glared at Delilah. Some of them felt jealous of her and so
