Delilah's POV:A smirk crept over his lips in the dark, "Despite a bunch of disadvantages, there is always one benefit of being an Omega." Creaking the door open, he winked at me, "No one suspects you of anything. They all think an Omega is too dumb or coward to stir trouble."My chin wobbled and I rushed forward to hug him tightly, "Oh, Dorian. Thank you so much for coming for me. I just thought..." My throat clogged at the horrible things that were about to happen to me.He wrapped his arms around my frame, "Of course, Delilah. You are the only friend I ever had. I can't even think to leave you alone in this hell."Breaking the hug, I wiped the tears away, "What now? What are we going to do now?"Crouching down, he placed his backpack on the floor and unzipped it, "Now we are going to get away from here."I looked closely as he fished out two heavy-duty gas masks. Thrusting the one in front of me, he instructed me, "Put it on. And be careful. It must be covering your eyes, nose, and
Delilah's POV: I ran to the shed near the gate, shifted, and grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt from the drawer. Putting on the clothes, I went back to Antonio, "I am Delilah." His teeth bared at me, "I know very well who you are. Answer my question now." I was running out of time. I swallowed and tried to move past him toward the door. A hand clasped around my upper arm and jerked me back, "I am expecting an explanation, girl." I whimpered under his hard gaze, "I need to see Xee right now. It's urgent. Please, let me go to him or you can tell him that I am here." He pushed me backward and I stumbled over the stairs before landing on the ground. Before I could move up, he was right onto my face, "Who the fuck do you think you are to order me around?" I scooted back and finally got up to my feet, "I am Delilah and I need to see him right..." He cut me off harshly, "Are you his mate?" His head cocked to the side as he mocked me, "Which one? Fated one or the chosen one?" He rubbed
Delilah's POV: Turning around, I sprinted through the woods and pondered over what to do next. Should I go to the police? Even the thought was laughable. Should I go to the Supernatural Council? But I had no address or number. Should I go to Bianca and tell her that her mate is in danger? But the way she treated Dorian made me doubt if she would even care. I was on the verge of going mad. Never before in my life had I felt so helpless. I despised myself for leaving Dorian alone with those bloodthirsty monsters. Wiping away the angry tears, I turned toward the human residential area and entered the first mart my eyes landed on. I went straight to the counter and rushed out, "Can I make a phone call, please? It's urgent." Maybe it was my condition or desperation but the lady nodded hastily before turning the phone in my direction. I dialed the only person left who would never be deterred from helping me and waited impatiently. The lady walked away in order to give me some privacy and
Delilah's POV:There was a storm rumbling inside me but still, somehow, all I was feeling was numb. After a beat, I heard Luke's voice that sounded so distant away, "Hey, Minerva, can I please talk to Asteria? It's urgent."There was a silence for a long minute after which I could hear the stoic, emotionless voice of an old lady, "Lucas?"Lucas rushed out in urgency, "Asteria, yes it's me. There's a werewolf that needs your help. Can we please come over right now?"At that, my ears perked up and I slowly moved my head toward Luke. Asteria grunted on the other end, "A favor for a favor, Lucas Cross."Luke said through gritted teeth, "Of course. We'll be there in 5 minutes."As Adeline ended the call, I turned around in my seat, and asked with wide eyes, "What's going on? What's happening?"My gaze shifted to the body of Dorian and then to Adeline. She swallowed before rushing out, "As soon as you told me that Dorian had been to Silverclaw Pack to rescue you but couldn't leave, I knew h
Delilah's POV: I would have loved to listen to her discovery but the creepy way in which she was gawking at me made me want to run the hell out of there. I could literally feel worms crawling all over my skin but still, I stood my ground and didn't even waver my gaze away. Seemed like Adeline could feel my discomfort as she moved closer to Luke and nudged his elbow. Luke rubbed his hand over his face and walked toward us, "Asteria, I think we can talk about it later on. We don't have much time left as the moon will disappear into the dawn soon." A small, creepy smile crept over Asteria's lips as she whispered, "Later, Delilah." With that, she turned around and I finally exhaled the air stuck in my lungs. Adeline was beside me in an instant. I gripped her arm, "That was odd." Her eyes narrowed down, "And fishy." My eyes followed Asteria as she gracefully stood beside the altar. She touched Dorian's hand and said aloud, "He's been dead for more than two hours." Adeline rushed towa
Delilah's POV: Adeline was the first one to approach me, "What is she talking about?" I kept gawking at Asteria while responding, "Trust me, you are asking the wrong person here." Asteria's gaze held me in a tight spell. I wanted her to elaborate on the meaning but Luke's eyes constantly shifting to the window kept reminding me that the time was short. Adeline gripped my elbow and shook me, "You don't have to do this if you don't want to." Asteria's widening smile indicated that she was clearly hearing what was being said and was actually enjoying the show. My eyes flew to the altar and my chest tightened at seeing Dorian like that. I wriggled my elbow free, "Dorian is like this just because of me. He had done for me so much and now it's my turn to pay back." Addy seethed out, "We can't trust a witch blindly. You must know it could be dangerous." Tears threatened to spill out as I croaked, "Dorian also knew the danger he was getting himself into, and yet he came for me." I squee
Delilah's POV:For someone who had lived her entire life as an ordinary human, I was meeting blow after blow ever since I stepped into this town. Now not only was I a werewolf but I was also a healer. Having no idea how to digest the information, I sighed deeply and turned to the altar, "Can we discuss Dorian at the moment, please?"Asteria approached me, "Well, he is fine now. Just so weak and needs abundant rest before he can finally wake up from a deep slumber."I whooshed out a breath of relief but it was just short-lived as another worry gripped me, "We have to keep him hidden from those monsters. They think he is dead, I want to let it stay that way before he finally wakes up and decides for himself."Adeline blurted as a matter of fact, "Then where are we going to keep him? We can't take him to the hostel."Luke spoke up, "I can take him to the pack mansion. I'll just have to call Xander and..."My head flew in his direction as I seethed out, "NO." Anger crept under my skin at
Delilah's POV:The car screeched to a halt in front of the hostel, and we all got out. Luke swept Adeline off the ground and hugged her tightly. Pressing his nose in her hair, he sniffed deeply. At that moment, my heart clenched at the memory of Xee doing the same with me.I turned my gaze away as they indulged in a deep kiss like no one else existed in this whole world. Breaking apart, Adeline turned toward me and a small smile broke over my lips at the blush creeping up her cheeks. Kissing her forehead, Luke waved me goodbye and opened the car door.Before he could hop in, I blurted out, "Wait..."Raising his eyebrow, Luke inquired, "What happened? Is everything alright?"I took a few steps toward him, "Whatever happened today, I don't want you to tell Xander anything about it."Luke's shoulders slumped slightly, "He is my Alpha, I can't really lie to him."I nibbled at my bottom lip, "I know I am asking too much, but please, try to understand. This is my fight and I don't want to i
