Everett,He was the beast of this forest. The beast everyone was afraid of, the beast Delilah always tried to run away from in fear.He was caressing her body with his lustful eyes.She wanted that although he warned her.It was she who wanted to get harmed by him, destroyed by him fully. Otherwise, he was controlling and resisting his inner beast all these times.Both of his cheeks were burning. Those scratches on his cheeks were not any simple scratches. Every time his wolf took over him, like a curse, they burned. Whoever saw him, either lost their consciousness or lost humanity. Some of them even got the courage and tried to kill him but little did they know, he was not a simple Alpha or other ranks like them but a beast, A Lycan.His power and strength were unmatchable. He was enough to rule all the packs alone. But he had his own reasons for living in the forest. No one knew how long he had been staying there or how long he would stay there. However, it was not a rumor but

Her eyes moved from his eyes and fell on his cheeks. She narrowed her eyes. Those scratches looked like fresh wounds. She lifted up her hand to touch his cheek. But he grabbed her hand. "Have you forgotten what I warned you last night?"She hissed in pain. She felt a pain in her wrist. He left her hand. He was about to turn to the other side but stopped when he saw her neck and collarbone.He left so many traces there. Her sleeveless hand was full of hickies as if some hungry beast sucked her skin alive.He tightened his fist, thinking about last night.She noticed his reaction and hid her neck with her hair.He closed his eyes and sighed."I am going back." She mumbled and went to the way from where she just came.She began to walk but felt him behind her. She turned her head and saw him following her.She blushed and focused on her way.Was he concerned about her? They went back home. "Let's have lunch." Delilah said and headed to the table."First go and change your dress.""H

"W-What is your rank?"She waited for his reply but never got it.She turned her head to his face and saw his closing eyes."Are you asleep?"She asked. How could a sleeping person answer her?She sighed and tried to sleep too.Tonight they built a step forward. They talked simply for a long time. He had never answered her like that before. Today his mood might be really good.She slept with a smile on her face. After some time, the man beside him opened his orange eyes.Those eyes were empty. Everett stared at the ceiling blankly for a long time. She just asked about his rank.His rank? He was a mysterious creature that others were afraid of.He was full of curses.What would happen if she got to know about him? He did not let others stay in his forest. Letting them enter his house was something impossible.This girl bumped into him that night for the first time and he let her go. He let her stay alive because she looked frightened yet hopeless.He felt that she had nowhere to go

"The wizard I talked about,He is my brother."Delilah was shocked. "Aunt, are you serious?""I know you will not believe me.""No, I can believe you. Can you tell me more about it? About the man whom your brother is helping currently?"The woman looked startled. "W-Why do you want to know about him? I thought you would ask about my brother since I was talking about him."Delilah eased her expression. "I was just curious."That woman scrutinized her. "You are not from this village, are you?"Delilah was silent. The woman cleared her throat. "This is it, dear. I can't tell you more."Delilah nodded and left. The woman's eyes looked grim after Delilah left."Who is she? I need to ask my brother. But how can I enter the forest without his permission? Did he really give a normal girl my brother's locket? Why? I can't go now, he will kill me if he gets to know that I met her."—Delilah talked with everyone at lunch time. Today she had lunch with others in the canteen."Where were you y

"Because I have someone in my mind. I want to be with him only."He bent his neck close to her face."Who?"She stared at him without replying to him. She felt his hand grabbing her neck slowly."I asked who?"She closed her eyes. "I can't tell you."He let go of her neck and scrutinized her face. "Go to bed and stop dreaming of what can't happen." He said and left the house.She did not open her eyes but tightened her fists. Her heart was running fast.Did he get to know about her feelings for him?What did he mean by not dreaming? Was it impossible to fall for him?Delilah opened her eyes and looked at the empty house. She did not go to the bedroom. She sat on the couch. She did not long for go to bed.She was totally okay until she met her mate. Why did he follow her? What was his motive? Didn't he have a fiancée?So many questions kept playing on her mind. She tried to sleep on the couch.She looked at the wooden ceiling and started to think about Everett."Where are you? Where
