Delilah's POV:After breakfast, Isabelle cleared the table and once again, I and Xee was alone in the room. Resting his chin lazily on his hand, he kept staring at me for a long time, without wavering his gaze for even a bit.A deep blush crept over my cheeks and I finally muttered under my breath, "You look like someone who is totally smitten by me."Shaking my head while chuckling softly, I got up from the table. Just as I turned around, he gripped my hand and pulled me backward. My bottom landed on his lap and his arm snaked around my belly.Xee dipped his face in my hair and inhaled deeply, taking in all of my scent, and mumbled hazily, "I still cannot believe that you are here with me." Grazing his nose on my neck, he reached my ear and whispered hoarsely, "My heart clutched every time you were in front of me but I couldn't have you."The tinge of sorrow in his voice replaced with desire as his hand tightened around my neck and he whispered demonically, "But now I can finally hav
Delilah's POV:Wetness had already started pooling between my legs and my ovaries were not ready to wait till night.Stepping away from me, Xee chirped up, "Should we go for a run?"I raised my eyebrow at the sudden change of topic.His cheeks reddened a bit as he brushed his fingers through the back of his hair, "Umm, my wolf has been dying to meet yours ever since we saw you in the woods last night."He told me that his wolf's name was Fang. I liked that. He also made me understand that our human form and wolf form lived side by side. One of the forms would have an upper hand and mostly, it tends to be the human form. One form can give reins to the other one to come forward and take over. He asked me what name I wanted to give to my wolf. I didn't want to rush such a thing so I replied meekly, "I'll let it come to me naturally."As if suddenly reminded, I winced, "Oh, but I don't know how to shift. Like...how do you do it?"He chuckled softly, radiating the whole place in warm hues,
Delilah's POV:It was as if a new fire ignited inside Xee. Sucking my earlobe, he whispered hoarsely, "Your wish is my command, baby."Smashing his soft lips with mine, he kissed me passionately. As his tongue explored every corner of my mouth, I closed my eyes and enjoyed the pure blissful ecstasy.I panted heavily as he broke the kiss and a smirk adorned his handsome features at my reaction. Grabbing the hem of my tank top, he took it off in one swift motion. A shiver ran down my back as I was left in nothing but a black bra. His eyes darkened as they traveled all over my bare skin. My heartbeat quickened as he stepped closer, wrapped his hand around my waist, and started kissing my neck maniacally. My hands worked hastily on his buttons and took off his shirt. Everything was happening so fast. His hands went to the back of my bra as he continued leaving wet, sloppy kisses all over my neck.Unclasping the bra, he took it off and stepped back to take in the view. A deep blush crept
Delilah's POV:Chilly air ran down my spine and I scooted back to steal his warmth but to my surprise, there was only a cold and very empty mattress beside me. My eyes flew open and I sat up. My gaze scooted around the room but there were no traces of Xee.Getting out of the bed, I stretched my arms over my head when I realized how butt naked I was. Deep blush adorned my face as the images of how ruthlessly Xee fucked me last night flashed in my mind.Collecting my clothes off the floor, I slipped them on and went to the washroom to freshen up.Returning to the room, I waited for any living soul to make an appearance. After about half an hour when the door was still closed, I decided to go out.Outside, my eyes took in the lush and luxurious furnishing of Xee's private wing but my footsteps halted as I heard angry and urgent voices. It was coming from Xee's private office which was located at the far end of the hallway.Tip-toeing toward it, I stopped dead when I heard Addy from inside
Xander's POV:The world stopped around me as soon as she asked me whether she was my mate or not. The hurt in her eyes was raging a storm inside me.I wanted to hold her face, hug her, and tell her over and over again that I have already chosen her for me. She wasn't my mate but I couldn't care any less about that. Instinctively, I took a step toward her and was about to cup her cheek when she suddenly flinched away. Tears were brimming in her eyes but she didn't let go of the facade of bravery, "Yes or No?"The line between right and wrong had already been blurred for me. I opened my mouth to lie to her, anything to give her peace but right at that moment, Antonio opened the mindlink, "Lying would only make the situation worse."My body went rigid, "No one needs to know that she isn't my mate, Beta. We can keep it between you and me. A deep, dark secret we'll take to our graves."Anotonio pushed the matter with urgenct, "What about the curse that can only be broken by your true mate
Delilah’s POV:As soon as I exited the gates of pack mansion, I slumped to the ground in a heap of bawling mess. All the tears I had been trying hard to keep at bay were now flowing out of my eyes. I let my heart cry in mourn. Akira had retreated back into my mind in angst the moment I left his office.She kept begging me to listen to him, to give him a chance but what was there to even discuss? If it had been just about me then I would have stayed with him against all the odds. But how can I ruin the lives of our mates; the one who were made for us, the ones who might be waiting for us.And if what they all told me about fated mates was true then it meant I would never be enough for Xee. He’d only feel complete and content with his fated mate. Also, I didn’t have it in me to insult myself like that.Staying with a man as his side-chick until one day he finally realizes that I was, indeed, not the one. Nope, I am far above that. I have to be the protector of my own heart and I have to
Delilah's POV:I waited for her answer as she kept staring at the ceiling above. Sadness prevailed in her eyes but a small smile tugged on her lips as she walked down memory lane, "When I first came here, 3 years ago, I had no friends. I was opposite to what I am now. I used to be this scared, little introvert girl."I listened to her closely, "It wasn't long before I started being bullied by Bianca. She was also new but had already wrapped everyone around her charm," she rolled her eyes."No one stood against her ever and I too was so scared of her. I can't believe how coward I used to be," she said with a low chuckle.And then with a sigh, "Anyhow, she had gotten herself a new toy to bully and I kept taking it like a fool I was until one day when I had had enough of her bullshit. I remember how she kicked me and my food tray slipped away from my hold. It made me angry. So angry as it had my favorite dumplings on the tray and I have been waiting for lunchtime since I woke up in the mo
Delilah's POV:Waking up to the blaring alarm, I donned my running gear and went out for a run. Avoiding the woods as much as I could in case I would run into some particular lycan, I tend not to go deeper into it.It had been more than a week since I returned from the pack mansion and no matter how busy I tried to be, Xee was always roaming around somewhere in the back of my mind. I missed him. I missed him so fucking much. Everything felt incomplete and empty like some major part of my life was missing. Just when had he become so much important to me? Meeting him daily was the highlight of my day and now, all of a sudden, he was nowhere near me.My heart and my mind were in a brutal battle with each other where my heart was continuously defending his actions but my mind couldn't deny the fact that what he did was wrong. He lied and betrayed me when I trusted him the most.The night of returning from the mansion, I cried my heart out. I let the dam break as fat. ugly tears rushed down
