#Chapter202Lila's POVEvery minute that drags by, my heart tears that little bit more. My eyes are set on either the door or the clock."Baby... We can wait longer." My dad suggested.I could see the pity on each of their faces. I really thought he was going to show up, declare his undying love for me, and we fly off into the sunset.Well, maybe not undying love, but that he wanted me, and we could deal with whatever is troubling him... Together.I was so excited that he came back again. I felt relieved to see he was suffering just like me, that it wasn't all one-sided. He seemed so confused, he knows about the prophecy, but I don't think he knows everything. He looked curious when I mentioned the warlock. I should have told him.He doesn't seem to understand much about our species... He seemed completely bewildered that I could jump that fence. I think he thought wolves were weak... Some might be, but wolves from my pack aren't weak at all. We're trained by the best.I groane

#Chapter204Lila's POV"I'm sorry... Who?" I blurted.He raised his brow at me, staring at me. Was I supposed to know who he is? I don't remember meeting anyone called Alarix, with a name like his, I wouldn't forget."Protecting him won't help anyone, child." He grunted.A low, baleful growl reverberated from my dad. "I said you could speak to my daughter... Not badger her." He snarled."Excuse me? I can't protect someone I don't know. Don't treat me like a fucking child." I growled.I don't care if he's the vampire king. I don't deserve to be spoken to like a child. I legit have no idea who he is, why the fuck would I be protecting him? I have never backed down from a mission... And this one will be no different. I've trained for this one.Amusement whirled around in his eyes. "I can see why you're Alarix's beloved." He grinned. "You'll make a fine leader." He quipped.My breath hitched in my throat. The prophecy was about my mate? I have to stop my destined from destroying

#Chapter206Elias' POVI couldn't calm down... I was angry for Lila and what that vampire is doing to her. My magic is going haywire. After I accidentally shattered the windows in Alpha Leon's office, I went sent out to calm down.My magic was out of control because my emotions were, and Natalia said my magic was reacting to hers. I'm unstable, like a ticking time bomb. If I get too wound up, she said I could explode, and the magic that would release from me could be a catastrophe."Are you calmer now?" Levi questioned as he sauntered into our room in the packhouse.We moved into here just after us being destined was official. We knew from age twelve that we were destined... We were fifteen when our friendship changed. One morning when I went to meet him, it was like seeing him in a whole new light. I didn't understand what was happening to me.I'm not even going to lie... I ran away from him. I legit spun on my heel and hightailed it out of the packhouse. He came to

#Chapter208Lila's POVAs I got closer to her, I could see a dull bruise below her eye and a faint bite mark on her cheek. She seemed upset and scared. Was she scared of me? As I edged closer to her, she backed away a little. I stopped and stayed where I was; she had no reason to be scared."What do you need my help with?" I inquired, keeping her under my gaze."Alarix." She whispered. She shuddered, and there was a hint of sadness in her voice.You've got to be kidding me? Hasn't he put me through enough? Now, he's sending someone to try and talk me out of stopping him."Tell him that he doesn't need to worry... He and his beloved can unite for all I care. But... I'll be coming for them if I need to." I snarled."Woah... No, you've got it all wrong." She blurted, interrupting my rant.I frowned at her. "Who are you?" I asked."His sister." She replied, rubbing the back of her neck.My eyes went wide, and I shook my head. For years I searched for him or any vampire. Now the

#Chapter210Alarix's POV."You're feeding again?" Athan gasped.I glanced at him from the corner of my eye the best I could. I had a petite brunette straddling me. My fingers were digging into her waist, and my fangs were lodged into her neck.1I hummed in response against her neck. A raspy moan slipped out of her mouth, causing me to cringe. She was attempting to grind herself against me, but she couldn't because of my tight grip holding her in place, and there was fuck all for her to grind against."You should fuck her while you're feeding, Rix." He chuckled. "It takes so much better when they're aroused and cumming... The feeling is incredible; you'll never feel anything like it." He quipped.I rolled my eyes, withdrawing my fangs from her. I gazed at the blood pooling in her collarbone from my lips. She leaned back and batted her eyelashes at me."I'm not fucking you." I gagged.It's always the same. They come here expecting sex in exchange for feeding on them. I guess th
