When Delilah woke up, it was early morning. She sat up and yawned. She looked beside her. "As usual, an empty bed."She sighed and got out of bed. She strode to the bathroom but saw a beautiful bottle green colored dress on the couch.She headed to the couch and touched it. "Who put this dress here?"She thought for a moment then realized that grandma sent it. Because she told them that she had arranged everything for them.She took the dress and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she wore the dress.She went out and looked at herself in the big mirror. She looked like someone else. How could beautiful clothes change someone like this?"People said right. An appearance can change the whole person. But what about their hearts? Valueless?"She asked herself. Then she combed her hair nicely. She had never worn a pretty dress like that before. She liked it.She came out of the room and walked to grandma's room. She saw a middle-aged man checking on grandma. She understood t

'Havana? Who is she?'Delilah turned around and closed the door. She glanced at them. She did not like how they were talking to each other."Everett, who is she?"Havana asked Everett while pointed at Delilah. Delilah pouted when she heard the woman calling Everett's name without any fear. He did not even stop her from calling his name."I can't believe you are living with another person. Is she your maid?" Havana said as she glanced at Delilah."No, she is my slave."Havana looked stunned, which did not go unnoticed by Delilah. "S-Slave? You mean she is here for your house chores, r-right?" Havana asked and chuckled awkwardly.Everett glanced at Delilah who looked at him back."No, she is not my maid but a slave." He said again. His answer didn't change, nor did he explain anything.Havana stared at Everett for some time, then looked away. "I see. By the way, you have something for me to do, right? Let's talk about it then." Havana said and sighed. Delilah was mad at Everett. He

"Havana loves Everett and he knows it."Something shattered inside Delilah. She gaped at Conor like a mannequin."He knows that?" She asked him as she whispered."We all friends know that. But we don't dare to talk to Everett about it. We always wanted to give them privacy. But we all know that Havana was super glad when she heard about Everett's mate's death." Delilah felt gashes lumped in the corners of her eyes. She looked away from Conor. "I have to go back to work otherwise Miss Winters will scold me again.""Do you want me to scold her for you?"She shook her head and said he did not have to do it. Delilah went back to her shift. However, her mind was somewhere else.'How easily Conor told me about Havana. He was the one who convinced me to stay with his friend. How can he tell me about it like that? Why doesn't he stop Havana from getting close to Everett? Can't he see I am with Everett now? I have already spent a night with him. He calls me his slave, but does that mean he

"I am a lonely Lycan, I have been living alone since my childhood. How can I feel lonesome when I choose to be like this?""Ch-Childhood?" Delilah stuttered. She could feel a tear roll down her cheek. She sobbed unknowingly. He frowned when he heard that."Sleep."Delilah tried to sleep but her eyes kept hurting. She thought she had been living a painful life. But how was Everett's life before? Was it painful? She remembered that when she first came there, she could not see any food inside the kitchen. She remembered how he was punching the tree and there was no one to stop him or treat him.'He has been living here since his childhood. He is a prince. What happened that he had to come here and live alone for his whole life?'She stared back at him and tried to stop herself from crying more.The following days went well. Delilah forgot that Havana ever came to meet Everett and how close they were. Delilah started to open up with Everett, though he looked unbothered. She was tryin

"EVERETT!"Delilah screamed. She saw the stake piercing his abdomen area as he turned to the side where Delilah screamed from.Delilah started to cry and ran to him.Another man threw another stake and Delilah did not notice it.She ran towards Everett as she saw his blood coming out of his stomach.She was about to go close to him when a stake pierced her arm."AAAHHH!"She fell to the ground and screamed in pain.Everett took off his blindfold and looked at Delilah who was on the ground now.Everyone looked shocked. "How did this girl get in?" One of them shouted.Everett bent down and Delilah looked into his eyes."Ev-Everett y-your w-wound." She tried to talk to him in pain. During that hurtful time, she was still thinking about Everett.Everett pulled out the stake from his stomach and threw it to the man, who threw it at him before. The man caught it immediately.Everett looked at Delilah's hand. "Who told you to come here? How did you come here?" "Everett, your wound-""SHUT U
