Lilith's POV
It took several hours to prepare for the party. The size of Su's house did not help. Before it was time for the party, people had begun piling in the front door. Because I didn't know most of these people, none of them greeted me as they did with Su and Connor. Several people made their way outback after their greetings and sat around the pool. Talia made sure to arrive fashionably late.
Instructed by Connor, Opal and I hid in the kitchen area with Simon guarding us. The excitement of having Simon near wasn't enough, I desperately needed both of them by my side. My red-headed mate let a joke slip here and there but mainly stayed lost in thought. Something bothered him and guilt riddled me for not knowing what was wrong.
Thankfully Connor and he were communicating on a friendly basis as they spoke to each other the way Nova speaks to me. He advised us when Kyla and Alexa attended together and how Talia trailed in about th
What do you think is going to happen to Lili?
There was a spell set in motion for me to turn into a monster!? When Kyla didn't respond fast enough to Connor, he stormed around the island. Terror flashed in her eyes as the Alpha hovered over her. His hand grasped her throat and I watched as her eyes bulged from his squeeze. Her face turned a light shade of blue as the blood flow cut off. "I asked you a question!" He shouted in her face. "We don't know!" Alexa screamed for her friend. He jerked his glare to her cowering in the corner of the kitchen. Kyla dropped to the tile as he released her but his face remained contorted in anger. He motioned to Kyla and Alexa as he continued. "Pretend everything is going to Talia's plan. I don't want her to know we are on to her." Simon leaned forward, resting his hands on the island. "Have you met the warlock?" Kyla shook her head as Alexa answered. "I have, he's cute." "Did he know what Talia had planned?" He quizzed her as Con
Simon's POV As I watched my mate be announced to the pack as someone else's, I found the desire to storm into the celebratory cheers and announce myself as her mate. Loki fought me on my temptations and I obliged him. It didn't stop the pain in my chest from making it difficult to breathe as I soaked in the attention Connor gave her. To make matters worse, Talia caught my scent as she stormed towards the house. I grimaced as Lil's eyes darted between Talia and me, watching her own suffering flash in her beautiful blues. I ripped my gaze from Lil and focused on the incoming target. Talia may wish I was her target but she was dearly mistaken. I stashed my disgust for the whore in an imaginary box and mentally locked it. Her hand whipped her hair over her shoulder as she swayed with more force than necessary over to me. Her fake eyelashes held on desperately to the glue as she swatted them at me. "Since when were you an Alpha?" She cooe
Lilith's POVThe furiousness coming from those around me burned my skin. I could feel them but I couldn't hear anything. Everything became muffled the moment the warlock revealed I was cursed. The monster I was to become in a matter of two days, would be killed by my own mate.The warmth of a mate holding me kept me from passing out but I still wasn't present. My mind swirled with fear of dying at such a young age. A small part of me had confidence in my mates to rescue me from my fate but I couldn't allow myself the relaxation of thinking they would succeed. Nothing is worse than raising your hopes to only die at the hands of someone who should love you without restrictions.Would there be a chance of me turning into a Vargulf and still being accepted by Connor and Simon? By the Night Blood pack?I could feel a change in our location. Instead of the must of sweaty bodies, it felt cool yet warm. Somewhere I wouldn't mind si
Connor's POVBefore Simon and I climbed into bed with the sleeping beauty, we discussed the plans we had prepared with the others. The issue with Jenny would have to wait until our mate has been saved, even if Jen's existence bothered each of our Lykos.With Luca's assistance, Talia would be placed under a spell forcing her and her Lykos to believe Simon to be their mate. After my announcement earlier, it couldn't be me tricking her. We couldn't take the chance of her breaking out of the enchantment. Simon wasn't too happy with it and we knew Lili would be even angrier if she found out about the plans we had. Our decision to act on the spell would be in the morning before Talia leaves, after waking from her drunken slumber.Surprisingly enough, sharing the bed and Lili with Simon last night didn't cause any problems. Sometimes I have to wonder if Dior is bringing his rank down a notch along with Loki to help us get along for the sake of
Hey, Amazing Readers! I apologize for not uploading a chapter today. Where I live, it is a holiday for our veterans. Even though I am not off work from my full-time job, I also have kids home from school. Writing with kids constantly whining in your ears is not enjoyable and I refuse to let it affect my imagination in writing my chapters. How did you feel about Chapter 38? Is there anything you would enjoy reading Talia do under the infatuation spell? Will their plan even work? I'm honestly worried about the sanity of Lili. If she is fated to become a Vargulf currently, at what point does her brain go insane?
Simon's POV"Be right back." Connor whispered as he swiftly disappeared back into the house.I groaned as Talia made her way around the bar to stand in front of me. Her expression filled with confusion as she pursed her lips.Loki:Smile. We have to be convincing.I internally rolled my eyes at my Lykos as Talia leaned her elbow against the marble top."Pretty sure we weren't mates yesterday and were you not in the middle of a setup with Connor and them?" She jerked her chin to Su.Playing dumb, I said. "I don't know what you mean. If you made a witch jealous, would you not try and get out of it as fast as possible?"Talia considered my words and seemed to take the lie.She hooked her hip and rested a hand upon it. "Since we are official mates, can you tell me what pack I am to be Luna of?"Humor flashed in my eyes as I scoffed. "What makes you think I will accept you as my L
Nova's POV Opal gave her best effort in keeping me from hearing Simon head into the office with Talia. Her efforts were failing and I didn't have the heart to tell her to try harder. Lili wasn't speaking still and left me alone to protect us as I listened to our mate's sister gush about finding her mate. The inkling of danger nearing wasn't helping with my focus. Was it because of the full moon presenting itself tomorrow or something else? The pretty red-head in front of me explained she heard a different voice in her head but that the Lykos had otherwise not spoken to her. The only word the Lykos had uttered was "mate" and then she went silent. Poor Opal was confused yet excited. She deserved one-on-one time to help her understand what she was going through but everyone was too focused on Lili. Not that I didn't understand why but Opal was about to risk her life with the change too. The aroma of a horny wolf floated through the vent
Simon's POVMy sister's mate dropped to the floor as though the life had been taken from him. I too, felt part of me drift away as he uttered the two lonely words. I watched as Opal's once vivid red hair brushed the floor without its shine. My twin was gone and I hadn't been by her side to say goodbye.Lil acted before me as she rushed over to Luca. I heard a whine and a whimper leave her before her eyes rested on mine as I dropped to the floor beside her and grasped Opal's hand. Her gaze contained sadness and hatred which she directed at me. More pain coursed through me as my mate shoved her feelings into my face.Lil:You weren't by her side when she needed you the most.Me:She told me to stay by yours!Lil:I wasn't alone... I didn't need you and she did!I winced at my mate yelled at me through the link. Connor was in the link with us and I didn't know if that was on pu
