Lilliana’s POVThe smile of relief I had on my face gradually faded as I watched them make their way slowly and carefully into the building.“Lily,” Andre’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I had no idea how long I’ve been staring without blinking for until he called me and I blinked.“I didn’t….. I didn’t know they were together.” He said and I lifted my gaze to see him looking down at me pitifully.I looked back at Nikolai and Jenna and neither of them seemed to notice my presence. Nikolai was too busy taking care of Jenna to notice that I was staring at them.Embarrassment washed over me as almost all of the maids could see me breaking, they stared at me like they were sorry I had to see something like that.“Excuse me.” I coughed as I turned to make my way through the crowd and for a moment I thought I was alone until I heard footsteps behind me.“Lily, Wait. Where are you going?” Andre asked, making me stop in my tracks as I turned to look at him with a tear filled gaze.My
Lilliana’s POVGroaning, I had tossed and turned in my bed all night, barely had any sleep as the thoughts of Nikolai and Jenna spending the night together kept bugging me.My chest ached a lot too and with that was my banging headache. I opened my eyes and my room seemed to be upside down and my vision was blurry.“Lily, are you in there?” I heard a familiar voice call as a slight knock followed and I wanted to ignore it but the last thing I wanted was the knock to be incessant.“I’m in here, I’m not dead yet. Thanks for checking up on me, Andre, bye!” I said and slammed the door without giving him a chance to say anything.Nikolai already thinks there was something between Andre and I despite the fact that we barely see each other and the last thing I want is to make him keep thinking like that.Walking to the bathroom, I decided to get ready for the day but the fact that Jenna and Nikolai slept in the same room kept driving me crazy and I just can’t begin to imagine how many things

Lilliana’s POV“W— What? What?” I asked, I couldn’t believe that Nikolai would actually say this. I couldn’t believe that he would ask for me to be thrown in a dungeon.I didn’t even do anything but he would rather believe the tears and lies of Jenna over what I was trying to tell me.The hurt felt so bad that it felt like I’d been hit right on my chest with a sledgehammer. The last thing I expected to hear from Nikolai was this.“Are you really serious right now, Nikolai?” I asked in disbelief, looking up at him and still desperately trying to think of an excuse for him.“Do you really mean all of this? Are you really trying to lock me up in a dungeon just because I spilled water on her by mistake? It didn’t even touch her!” I added.His gaze was straight, his facial expression was too dead serious for him to be joking and I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that he was serious.“Mistake?!” Nikolai roared in anger, making me jump in fear as I looked up at him, “you and I know how m
Lilliana’s POV“Alpha Nikolai asked us to let you go.” One of the guards said as he held the door open for me and I nodded as I made my way out.Just like Andre had suggested, I thought about going to the pack celebration and as much as it was going to hurt seeing Nikolai and Jenna there, I made up my mind to be there.I don’t love Nikolai anymore and I don’t even care about Jenna again.Anything I do from now on will be for myself, any decision I take from now on will always be in favor of no one else but me.I walked to my room to freshen up and get the stench of the dungeon out of my skin and when I was done, I decided to help the maids in the kitchen.Everything felt weird, their gazes on me made me feel horrible but I swept it all under the rug and decide to act as a maid does.The day went by quickly and despite the fact that I was outside most of the time, I barely ever saw both Nikolai and Jenna, they were both nowhere to be found.I shouldn’t care and I tried not to but I hav
Lilliana’s POVI watched as Andre’s eyes widened as though they were going to pop out of their sockets. I knew he wasn’t expecting me to go this far.Nikolai on the other hand looked shocked, his grey eyes quickly turned red as he looked from me and when I followed his gaze, to Andre. Smiling to myself, I walked towards Andre.“What? What? What the hell are you doing, Lily?” He asked but I only smiled at him, “there’s no way. I’m not—“ he stopped talking when I extended my hand.Andre looked up to me and I pouted, I had no trouble trying to get tears to well up in my eyes and I smiled at the look of defeat he had on when he took my hand.I could feel Nikolai’s intense gaze on me as Andre and I both walked to the dance floor and it only made me smile even more because it could be in the pettiest way but I got his attention.“Why are you doing this?” Andre asked in confusion as we danced, “Nikolai is going to kill me.” He added and I laughed like he’d said something funny.“I told you I
Nikolai’s POVMy eyes followed Lilliana as she ran out of the hall and it was taking all that I had in me to not follow her.After all, she had taken interest in my best friend already, I shouldn’t be bothered about her anymore because I know Andre would take good care of her.Andre looked like he was about to pass out, he was torn between following Lily or with the look on his face, coming to punch me in my own face.He knew nothing about this arrangement even though he was one of the major planners of the ceremony.“What?” I read his lips but only ignored him as I held Jenna. The Celebration was coming to an end and the entire place was filled with chivalry, people were all over and from to and fro, they were socializing with one another.“Congratulations! Why didn’t we know about this?” One of the elders asked but I only shrugged as I forced a smile on while Jenna took the reins.“The Alpha probably wanted it to be a surprise because even I knew nothing about all of this.” She lied
Nikolai’s POV“What do you think?” I responded as I regained my breath and position. Andre stared at me with contempt before punching me and making me stagger again.“This isn’t what you told me,” he continued, his eyes burning with so much anger that I knew Andre was going to have a hard time trying to control, “how could you do this?” He asked.The way he stared told me that the conversation we were about to have or the one we’re already having wasn’t going to be pleasant.Andre’s chest heaved, his breathing paced and his hatred for me at the moment oozed out as he looked at me before running his fingers through his hair.The thought of what happened in the hell coursed through my mind and I felt my anger rising. I couldn’t believe that Andre could still have the balls to come to me like this.Anger swirled within me as it thrummed through my veins, I felt my vision changing and everything I was seeing had already turned into red as I lifted my gaze to look at him.“You have a lot o
