The coronation was to be in a few days time. The borders of the Red Lily Pack had been strengthened by more warriors watching and protecting. Lucien could strike anytime. They had to be careful incase of an attack. As for Delilah, she remained in the temple, away from everyone as she went to meet the gods to make enquiries on how the coronation was going to hold. Lillith woke up to Henry's cries filling the room. Sitting up on the bed, her eyes caught a structure right beside her bed. Her bedside table had been moved to the other side of her bed, close to the window and there, Henry's cot sat. A beautiful structure made of polished wood that had been glazed in white oil paint and some figurines that dangled and chimed from an attachment that held it in place. She turned to Cali with a smile and climbed out of bed. Ignoring Henry's cries, she went to the bed and touched the smooth wood, smiling to herself before she turned to Cali. "It arrived this morning," Cali sai
She stood there for a while, staring at the woman as she smiled at Leon. He was also smiling. Leon, smiling at another woman? She never believed she was going to see that day. She was dressed in a light pink dress with embroidered tulips around the neckline and puffed arms. She also had a really beautiful necklace on her neck. A jade necklace that matched her green eyes. Lillith touched her neck. It was bare and all she wore was a plain yellow dress Cali said was really beautiful and accentuated her complexion. Leon turned to look at her with a slight frown of confusion. "You should join us for breakfast," Nodding, she swallowed and went to take a seat far away from them both. The said lady was a seat away from Leon and within close range with him. She glanced at Lillith but she didn't say a word to her. Instead, she turned to Leon with a smile. Leon couldn't take his eyes off Lillith. She looked particularly beautiful this morning. She was dressed in a plain
The Coronation was drawing near and there was yet to be an attack from White Plateau Pack. This had Leon worried as he had no idea what was taking his time. "What if he's planning to attack on the day of coronation?" Lucian asked Leon as he paced about in his study. "He's capable of doing such, you know? He knows that day is very important to you. He's your best friend so he knows how to get you," Leon nodded. Lucian was right. "Yes, I know that. That's what makes me really worried," "What do you suggest we do?" Lucian asked as soon as Leon stopped pacing. "Strengthen the walls again on that day?" "I need warriors around the boundaries. It needs to be protected on the night of coronation incase his men tries to attack," Nodding, Lucian turned away from Leon and left the room. As soon as he left, Delilah came in. He was glad to see her after two days of being in the temple for the preparations. "What's going on?" She asked as she took a seat before Leon.
"Leon." He stopped on his way out of her room and turned to Lillith. Delilah was gone so it was just them both in the room. "Need anything?" "Why are you suddenly nice to me?" He didn't see that question coming. It hit him so fast. "Uhm, what's that supposed to mean," "You know what I am talking about, Leon," She said as she drew close to him. "Do I even have to spell it out to you," "No, you don't," He replied and looked down at her, his eyes darting to her lips. "You don't have to spell it out to me," "I guess I shouldn't have asked you. I'm glad I get to be treated like a human being and I am happy that you are showing my son some love." "He's my son, too." Leon corrected but his voice was soft. "Do you even want to know why I left? You don't care enough to ask?" She scoffed to herself. Well, have you ever cared? He heaved a sigh. "What's going to change after I know why you left?" She shook her head. "Nothing at all. I guess I shou
And he did kiss her. He kissed her with everything he had in him without even throwing his weight on her. She hated that he had to make her this vulnerable. Hated that she was putty under his arms. He moaned and she felt her defenses fall flat. Whatever she had been holding onto shattered, leaving her helpless and open to him. He kissed her jaw, trailed his lips down her neck and kissed her sensitivity spot. She tilted her head to the side to give him full access. He caught the soft skin of her neck between his lips, kissing and drawing his teeth over her neck. She knew he was going to give her hickeys and that didn't matter. Melissa was going to see it and she was going to lose it when she saw that the man that had gotten married to her was touching her instead. She wanted to laugh but Leon nipped her lower neck and she cried out. "Leon..." She sighed and splayed her fingers over the nape of his neck before slipping her fingers into his hair. He kissed her collarbone an
Lillith fell asleep right after a mind blowing orgasm. She hadn't experienced that in months and she felt like she was going to explode from pleasure but Leon was there to guide her through. She finally woke up with a yawn, stretch and a smile for days. She was really happy. She had probably turned from Leon's arm so she rolled back to his position and felt the bed for him. Her eyes fluttered open immediately and she saw an empty bed. Sighing in resignation, she sat up and brought the duvet to her chest. He had probably left as soon as she fell asleep. She didn't know if she was disappointed but she would have loved it if he had stayed back with her. Well, there was nothing she could do about it. She climbed out of the bed and her eyes caught a shirt on the edge of his bed. It was a white shirt and when she lifted it to look at it, she realized how large it was. A small smile covered her face when she realized that he must have kept it there for her to use
The Warriors holding the boundaries from being besieged were starting to get weaker as Lucien kept reinforcing his army. "They're going to break through in no time,"Leon said. His voice was laced with worry. "We can't let them," Lucien turned to him. They were standing on top of the hill that could overlook everything that was happening. "But the Sentinels are in place incase of such an occurrence. So there's nothing to worry about," The sentinels were a division of the werewolf Warriors or hunters. They were put in place around the Kingdom to protect the lower ranked Werewolves from attack as not all of them had the strength to fight off warriors who were higher in rank. "They are well hidden in the shadows, are they?" Leon asked. Lucien turned to give him a look of disbelief. "Are you sure I am standing with Leon? Heck, you have conquered Packs! Why are you so nervous?" A feral growl was heard in the distance and Leon's eyes narrowed on a white wolf be
After Cali had explained it all to Lillith, the nursing mother began to see her in another light. "You lied to me, Cali," Lillith said. She wasn't so offended but she gave her maid/guard a stern look. "By omission, yes. I know that. That doesn't change the fact that you lied to me. I thought we were friends?" Cali swallowed. "We are getting there, Luna. But trust me, I have to obey every one of Alpha Leon's words. That's why I was employed. I hope you get that," Lillith couldn't be mad. Cali was right. She was being obedient to her Alpha but that still made her really angry. Sighing, she nodded. "I do get it. But promise me that this would be the last time we keep things from each other," Cali smiled. "I don't think that's something I can really keep to myself, you know. It'll be really hard for me," Lillith rolled her eyes and nodded. "Right." Henry was awake and still playing with the toy Cali got him. "He's definitely in love with you. He has refused to
