Reasonable Doubt. Lilian's Pov. I woke up with a heavy heart, still feeling the pain from what Raquel had told me. Liam, the man I loved , The one that promised to protect me, was accused of wanting to kill us both. I couldn't believe it, and the mere thought of it made me feel sick. I didn't know what to believe anymore. Was he really capable of such a thing?As I went about my day, I couldn't shake off the feeling of worry and sadness that had taken over me. Everything seemed different, quieter, and sadder. I could feel the stares of my pack members on me, their concerned eyes following my every move. I knew they could sense something was wrong.Xander, noticed my change in demeanor and asked me what was wrong. I couldn't hold back the tears any longer and burst into sobs, telling him everything that had happened. How Raquel had come to the pack and accused Liam of wanting to kill me because he felt betrayed and the truth about my parents death. The pain and betrayal I felt were
Maria's Pov. I sat there in the room with Liam, feeling the weight of his despair. He was restless, pacing back and forth like a caged animal. I could tell he was feeling frustrated and hopeless, the attack on his pack and the disappearance of Liliana had taken a toll on him.Nathan, his trusted friend and my mate, had come to console him. But it seemed like nothing could alleviate his distress. I didn't know what to do or say, so I just sat there in silence, watching him as he walked back and forth.After a while, Liam stopped and turned to me. "Do you know where Liliana could be?" he asked me, desperation lacing his voice.I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Liam. I don't know where she could be."He let out a deep sigh, and I could tell he was becoming even more agitated. "Do you know if she had any friends or if there was any place she would have loved to go?" he asked.I tried to think back to the few times I had met Liliana. "I remember her mentioning someone named Xander. She seemed
Liliana had been feeling down ever since her last encounter with Raquel. The things Raquel had said about Liam had been ringing in her head like a broken record. She was confused and didn't know what to believe anymore. The only thing that was certain was the fact that Liam had turned his back on her.As she was lost in thought, Xander walked up to her. "Hey, Liliana," he said, noticing her sadness. "What's going on? You look like you're in deep thought."Liliana sighed. "It's Liam," she replied. "He's turned his back on me. I don't know what to do anymore."Xander placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said. "But don't worry about it. Focus on your pregnancy and your well-being. Liam will come around eventually.""But what if he doesn't?" Liliana asked, tears welling up in her eyes. "What if I never see him again?"Xander gently wiped away a tear that had escaped her eyes. "Don't think like that," he said. "You have to stay positive. Everything will wo
The Lycan's Secret Mate.The JestRaquel knew she couldn't just seat down and wonder was going on in Liam's palace so she was going to do things her own way, She no longer has eyes in the palace so even though she was banished from his pack,She was still going to go in after all she was Raquel. She didn't want to be escorted by any of her guards ,She Intended to appear pitiful in front of Liam and that was exactly what she was going to do." Where are you going to so early, Raquel!!?? "Her mother asked joining her in her room." Nothing you should worry about mother,I will be back before father comes from his council meeting" Raquel said tying her hair in a bun." Your face does look pale,Are you sure you want to go out like this ?? " Her mother asked surprised because she knew her daughter was someone who always wants to look good even in a crisis." Good !!! Wonderful, That's just perfect mom!!! That's just what I want to look like" Raquel laughed and her mom rolled her eyes." Raq
The sun gently dipped below the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the peaceful meadow where Xander and I sat side by side. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the surrounding trees, carrying with it a sense of tranquility. As I traced my fingers over the slight curve of my growing belly, a mix of emotions swirled within me."Xander," I began, my voice soft and contemplative, "I can't keep living in uncertainty. I need to find out who the masked man is, the one I shared that unforgettable night with. It's the only way I can truly move forward."Xander's eyes met mine, filled with a mix of understanding and sadness. He had been my anchor, my confidant, ever since I arrived in his pack seeking refuge. The bond we had formed was undeniable, and the thought of leaving him and the safety of his pack pained me. But I knew deep down that uncovering the truth was necessary for my own peace of mind."I understand, Liliana," Xander replied, his voice tinged with a touch of melancholy.
Raquel stood alone in the confines of her opulent room, her face flushed with embarrassment and frustration. The encounter with the palace guards had left her seething with indignation. How dare they refuse her entry? How dare they deny her access to the very place she once called home?A mix of anger and determination welled up within her, fueling a fire that burned brightly in her eyes. Clenching her fists, Raquel vowed to herself that she would not be defeated. She would not allow Liam's rejection to dampen her spirits. In fact, it only fueled her desire to bring Liliana back to the palace and show Liam just what he had lost."Mark my words, Liam," she muttered under her breath, her voice dripping with venom. "You think you can cast me aside? You think you can disregard my worth? Well, I will show you just how wrong you are. Liliana will be back in my palace, and you will have no power over her."As she paced back and forth, her mind raced with plans and strategies. She knew she co
The morning had arrived, marking the D-Day for my departure from Xander's pack. As I stood at the center of the pack's gathering area, emotions swirled within me like a tempest. The pack members, lined up in a respectful manner, bid me farewell. Their eyes were filled with a mixture of sadness, pride, and genuine affection.Xander, with his towering presence and piercing blue eyes, stood at the forefront of the line. His expression was a blend of melancholy and pride as he held my gaze. We had grown close during my time with the pack, forming a bond that went beyond friendship. Now, as I prepared to embark on my journey, his support meant the world to me.One by one, the pack members stepped forward, offering words of encouragement, blessings, and heartfelt farewells. The air was thick with their whispered voices, their words mingling with the soft rustling of leaves and the gentle breeze that caressed my tear-stained cheeks.Xander was the last in line, his presence looming over me.
As I sat in the cozy sitting room of the palace, surrounded by Raquel's parents, a wave of curiosity and concern washed over me. I couldn't help but wonder if Liam knew of my presence here, seeking refuge under their roof. The weight of our tumultuous history hung heavy in the air, and the last thing I wanted was to ignite another storm."Did Liam discover that I am here?" I asked, my voice laced with a mixture of apprehension and vulnerability.Raquel's mother, Queen Isabella, exchanged a glance with King Dairus before turning her gaze back to me. "No, Liliana, he does not know," she replied gently, her voice carrying a touch of sympathy. "We have kept your presence here a secret, respecting your desire for privacy and safety."A sigh of relief escaped my lips, and a sense of gratitude washed over me. The mere thought of Liam storming into the palace, his anger and frustration directed at me, sent shivers down my spine. I needed time and space to find my footing, to discover the trut
