Xander's POV:I sat back and let Fang handle the reins however he wanted. As far as Delilah was concerned, it was my responsibility to assure her but when it was about Akira, I couldn't really do anything. She was a wolf, and her way of thinking was far different from her human side.Wolves don't like dramas. They tend to jump straight to the point without beating around the bush. Only Fang could handle Akira or assure her about the decision we have made together.Fang liked the way Akira asked him straightforwardly, "So what have you thought about it?"But he seemed to be in the mood to play with her, "About what?" I wondered whether his life was not dear to him.True to her nature, Akira growled at him, not liking the way he was avoiding the topic. Snickering, Fang said into the mindlink, "Relax, Akira. I am just playing."She was quick to retort, "Do I look like the one to be in the mood for playing?"He rubbed his muzzle against her neck and got serious, "To answer your question, I
Delilah's POV:As we reached the mansion door, Xee's phone started ringing in his pocket. Fishing it out, he glanced at the screen and grunted, "Council emergency. I have to go."He mindlinked Luke to bring the car to the front. After a few moments, Xee kissed me on the forehead, hopped into the car with Luke, and waved me goodbye.Stepping inside the mansion, I saw Isabella watering the indoor plants. Approaching her, I looked over her shoulder and commented, "They look so fresh and green, right?" Surprisingly, my voice came out excited and cheerful.Isabella let out a low chuckle, "Someone seems to be in a happy mood after so long."All of a sudden, Adeline appeared at my side, "Oh, please tell me that he fucked you so hard in the woods that all that nonsense in your head literally spilled out."My eyes widened as I looked at Isabella in shock. She only laughed and winked at me, "Trust me, that's the best kind of fucking," before sauntering toward the kitchen.I slapped Addy on her
Delilah's POV:Stomping my feet on the ground, I reached the duo and hissed at Xee, "What the hell is wrong with you?"I watched in utter horror at his hand clasped tightly around Katherine's neck as he glared down at her.She was running short of oxygen and it was apparent from her rapidly reddening face.I gripped Xee's hand and tried to loosen his hold, "Leave him, Xee. She'll die."His nostrils flared as he roared, "As every traitor should."I turned his face toward me and made him look at me before saying, "Okay, then let's talk about it but for now, leave her. Please."He heaved a deep breath before slowly releasing his hold around her throat. As soon as he let go, Katherine fell to the ground and panted heavily. She was a mess of wheezing and hiccups. Her whole body was trembling with fear. Maybe it triggered her bad memories or she remembered her time as Rick's slave but it was getting bad.I patted her cheek and rubbed her hands but her eyes were drooping closed. By the time A
Delilah's POV:Katherine frowned and looked at us, surprised that we were clueless about Andrew. Tilting her head slightly to the right, she stated, "After coming here, Ragnor told me that he had told you all about my story in the car. So how come you don't know about Andrew?"My eyebrows drew closer in confusion, "He just told me about Rick and the magic spell he put on you every year to hibernate your wolf."She shook her head in disbelief, "It means he has only told you about the bad things that happened to me." A hint of a smile touched her lips as she continued, "But my story can never be complete without Andrew, the only good thing that has ever happened to me."She let out a soft chuckle, "If I would have known that you didn't know yet, I'd have shared it myself." She shrugged her shoulder, "I have nothing to hide."Turning toward Xee and Adeline, I raised my eyebrow as if to say 'See? I told you so.'Her smile widened, "Anyhow. So Andrew is my husband."All three of us let out
Delilah's POV:Katherine's eyes moved to where Xee was standing, "Of course. Just as I said, I have nothing to hide."I liked how she was standing up to Xee. I appreciated her courage and squeezed her hand for her to go on.She breathed in deeply, "For the next few years, my yearly illness decreased because my body became immune to the spell but the fear was ever-increasing. The fear of Rick finding me and taking me back to the shit hole with him made it impossible for me to sleep a wink during those days. If not for illness, I would fall sick because of fear. A simple knock at the door would make my body go cold and shivering."Her hands were trembling. I wondered if she'd ever get rid of those horrendous memories. Bearing the same shit again and again after every year was unimaginable.She brought her knees up to her face and wrapped her hands around it in a protective manner, "But Andrew couldn't see me like that. Every year, he would beg me to either go to Council or take help fro
Delilah's POV:Katherine, Adeline, and I talked for a bit more until the sky darkened and the moon took over. There was a light knock on the door and then Luke peeked inside. Looking at us, he said shyly, "Sorry, girls, but it's my time now."We grinned like a maniac as he whooped Adeline off the bed and heaved her in his arms. After she was gone, I too excused myself and made my way back to my room.It was past 9 pm but there was no sign of Xee in the mansion. Picking up my phone, I left him a few messages to which he didn't respond.Padding toward the washroom, I closed the door behind me and stripped off my clothes. Standing under the stream of hot water, I let it flow down my body and relaxed a bit.The same thought was going around in my mind and I knew that I had to discuss the matter with Xee. I wanted to do whatever was in my power to help Katherine out of this mess.Turning off the shower, I wrapped a bathrobe around myself and sauntered out of the washroom. The room was eeri
Delilah's POV:He gave me a look while scratching his eyebrow, "Why do I feel that I'm not gonna like it?"I didn't meet his gaze while answering, "Because you probably won't."Gently pulling me to the side, he sat up on the bed and sighed, "Then why do you have to talk about it?"He seemed agitated and I hadn't even started yet. I too sat up, "Because it's important."He wiped his hand through his hair and exhaled loudly, "Delilah, can't we just put things aside for a while and have some quality time together where instead of others, we focus on each other?"I waved my hand in the air, "How am I supposed to ignore the thing that has been on my mind for so long?"He looked at me for a long minute and then said, "Okay, let's get over with it."I took a moment to find the right words to relay what I had in my mind. Taking a deep breath, I started, "Katherine's wolf is on the verge of dying. One more spell and it would be the end of her."His eyebrow quivered higher, "I am well aware of
Delilah's POV:After the night of turning and tossing on the bed, I got up at 5 am and went out for a run.Akira had been really upset with me. She was furious and agitated for what I did last night. And now she was getting out of control with rage.For the first time ever, she pushed me to the back and took the reins in her hands. I kept myself at bay and let her have her time to clear her head by sprinting into the woods.She pushed her feet against the ground and increased her speed, "I can't believe that you did that," she linked me.I sighed tiredly, "At least, YOU should try to understand me."She let out a low growl, "What exactly were you thinking? Pushing him away...suggesting him to go and mate with someone else...ridiculous."I tried to speak to her but she wasn't ready for a two-way conversation.She huffed out, "Fang was really angry and upset with whatever you said."There was a silence for a small moment after which she uttered firmly, "I have never tried to overpower y
