#Chapter221Lila's POV"So... Do you like this house?" I asked apprehensively, scratching the back of my neck, standing in the middle of the kitchen.I absolutely adore the house. It's been built and decorated to my taste, but I don't know if it's to Alarix's liking. He didn't give anything away as we looked around. He kept an indifferent expression on his face throughout the whole tour."It's, um, huge." He drawled, gawking around the kitchen. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was slightly parted.I followed his eyes, taking in all the details. The kitchen was modern and classy. It was all black and white with a white marble finish on the countertops. Patio doors were leading to a beautiful massive back garden."But do you like it? Do you want to live here?" I breathed. I want him to feel relaxed with me. I want him to feel like this is his home as much as mine.He spun around, lifting his brow at me. "I've already said... Wherever you are, that's where I want to be." He smirke

#Chapter223Lila's POV."Here... These should fit. You're coming with Elias and me tomorrow," He beamed as he gave Alarix a bag."Um, thank you," Alarix countered, looking perplexed.I gaped at Levi and grabbed his shirt, pulling him back. "What's happening tomorrow?" I quizzed."Well, we're going to sort Alarix out with everything he needs." Levi grinned. "Here, mum sent this for you. Bring Alarix to the packhouse in the morning." He mentioned as he handed me a bag.I nodded my head slowly as I watched him saunter out of the house. "You don't have to go with them." I blurted, spinning around to face Alarix.He chuckled and shook his head. "I'll go... I can get to know them." He smiled.I took a deep breath then nodded. "Well, you can get dressed in the bedroom. I'm going to get a quick shower." I yawned, moving towards the stairs."Hey," He grasped my arm gently and let out a breath. "Are you happy that I'm here?" He whispered.I reached up and planted a firm quick kiss on

#Chapter225Lila's POVI pulled him along to the bedroom without breaking our kiss. As soon as we entered the bedroom, he spun me around and shoved me against the door, closing it."I'm sorry," he mumbled between kisses. "I should have told you I needed to feed. I was embarrassed." He whispered, pulling away and staring down at me."It's ok... This is new for us both." I smiled up at him. "We've been living in different worlds... We need to learn to join them together." I continued.I liked my fingers through his and led him towards the bed. I sat on the edge and scooted back. I patted the space beside me. "Are you sure?" He asked as he sat beside me.I nodded and leaned up. "I've never been so sure of anything." I breathed before climbing over him and straddling his waist."You know once the bond is complete, the..." I pressed my lips against him firmly and hummed, wrapping my arms around his neck.I know marking each other will start the undoing. The prophecy will come into

#Chapter227Lila's POVI groaned, rolling over in bed. I yawned and fluttered my eyes open. I screwed my eyes shut and groaned... The light was too bright. I'm still so tired. I feel like I haven't slept at all.I felt Alarix stir beside me. I opened one eye and stared at him. He gave me a drowsy smile; that travelled straight to my core."Are you ok?" He whispered, chuckling.I opened both my eyes fully and gave him a half-smile. "Are you ok?" I urged apprehensively.He nodded, then rested his head on the pillow. "I'm sorry for how I acted last night," he murmured. I smiled, reaching forward. I gave him a chaste kiss on his cheek before moving down the bed, resting my head against his chest."Did it help last night, or do you need more?" I questioned."Lila." He stated as he scooted down the bed until he was lying face to face with me. "I'm good now, I promise. I will tell you next time." He declared, moving my hair away from my face."Good," I smiled and yawned again."Yo

#Chapter229Lila's POVI was in trouble. My dad was about to blow his top. He had a deep grimace on his face. I could practically see the steam coming from his ears. He was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed over his chest. No matter what I say, he isn't going to listen because I was in the wrong.Although it all worked out, it could have gone an entirely different way than I wouldn't be sitting here right now like a reprimanded pup."Dad... Before you say anything, can I tell you why I did it?" I murmured.He groaned dramatically and shook his head. "I'm not happy about what you did. Actually, I'm beyond angry." He fumed. I zoned out, no longer listening to his rant, and concentrated on the family portrait hanging behind him."I'm sorry I didn't listen... that I disappointed you," I mumbled, feeling my eyes tear up.I hated knowing I'd disappointed my parents. He chuckled as he rose before coming over to me. He crouched down in front of me, taking hold of my hands.
