War raged for the next few days and the warriors of Red Lily Pack tried as much as possible to protect the palace from being invaded. It was quite a hard task but they were able to protect it. Though an attack happened inside the palace and someone tried to get into the palace, they were immediately stopped and immediately killed. Lillith remained enclosed in her room with Henry and Cali who went out of the room from time to time to bring their meals and the rest of other things. The air outside the palace was filled with gloom and Lillith watched as thick smoke filled the skies. She expelled a sigh of resignation. There was nothing she could do to salvage this situation. Neither of the men were going to listen to her. Not Leon. Not even Lucien. Heck, he already threatened Henry's life. She turned away from the window and stared at her son. He was fast asleep and even smiling. There was nothing to smile about but Lillith shared his smile. She went to where

Capturing Lucien would put an end to the war. If he could convince him to write a letter to his men to stop the war, then there was hope. His best warriors got ready to ambush. Each and everyone of them spread out on the path that was usually followed by Lucien's carriage and his men. It would be easy to attack from there. They wanted to be as silent as possible so it didn't draw the attention of his army. It was quite a good idea. Attack, kill and ambush. Lucien was going to be captured by five of the strongest men in the Red Lily Pack. They weren't going to underestimate his powers in any way. He was a really strong man and it wasn't quite hard to kill a few men. As for Leon, he stood at the top of the hill, looking down on the men and communicating to Lucian through their mind link. "When will he be there?" "Anytime soon," Lucian replied. "We saw him round the serpentine so we will see him in a few minutes." "Remember not to engage in a fight with him.

Lillith heaved a shaky breath. No. She wasn't afraid of him. She just didn't understand why he was sweet one second and a different person the next around her. Though there was a relative change from the past year. He wasn't the violent man she used to know. He must have found where he kept his manners and respect while she was away. Her eyes darted from his well sculpted arms down to his chest. He was ripped. Her eyes rested on his abdomen as she took in the muscles that had built up around there. She wanted to reach out her hand to him and each time that thought came, her fists involuntarily clenched. She cleared her throat and nodded before going back to take a seat on the edge of the bed. "Well, here I am. Just like you want it," Leon scoffed and walked towards his closet. She fought hard not to follow him with her eyes but it was near impossible. Really really impossible. How could she tear her eyes from his body? That glorious body that gleamed with wetness? She

Leon stepped out of the dungeon in a terrible mood. Be walked across the large hall, ignoring Lucien's questions about how his night went. He pulled the door to his study open and walked in before slamming the door shut. No one dared to go in as he was in a bad mood. No one was ready to face Leon in a bad mood. He paced around in his study, wondering how he was going to go about all these. He kicked the seat closest to him and flew over to the other side of the room, crashing against the wall and breaking into splinters. Lucien was bent on continuing the war. He wasn't going to let Lillith go with him. Not even trying to convince him had worked and that had angered Leon terribly. A knock sounded on the door and before he could yell at whoever was at the door, it was pushed open and Delilah walked in. Leon turned away from her and walked to the windows as his fingers raked into his hair. "Not now, Delilah," "There's never a time for you, Leon. How did it g

Lillith was hesitant to go down for dinner. Things weren't getting any better between her and Leon. Not even after he told her that she was going to be Coronated as Queen. It had come as a surprise. The whole time, she believed it was Mia who was going to be crowned Queen. She did need time to think things through. Yes, she was deeply attracted to Leon. Yes, she wanted him to look at her the way a man in love would look at a woman he loved. She wanted to be cared for and treated like she mattered. This was something she thought about each time she considered feeling something for Leon. But that unsettling feeling in her chest seemed to remain that way. There was no way in hell she could settle with a man she wasn't sure cared about her. Maybe he had to tell her how he really felt for her before she considered becoming Queen. Cali came into the room moments later. She had gone to dump their dirty clothes in the laundry and had returned. She frowned when she saw Lill
