I began pacing around the apartment, my heart refusing to settle. What if he regretted choosing me? What if he wanted to explain the rules? Or worse… What if tonight was the reason he had bought me?

I stopped walking and pressed both hands against my face. There was no point frightening myself.

Alpha Hayes Denzel was a man powerful enough to buy another person's future with a single sentence. Whether I was ready or not changed nothing. He would do as he pleased. And there was nothing I could do

    I frowned. What was that? Had I imagined it? Unable to understand it, I pushed the thought aside."I'm..." My voice came out barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry." Neither of them spoke. I swallowed before continuing. "I know I wasn't supposed to leave my quarters. Please forgive me."Silence settled over the office.Then Alpha Hayes spoke. His deep voice was calm, almost curious. "Do you apologize to everyone before they've said a word?"I blinked. Slowly, I lifted my head just enough to glance at him. His icy blue eyes rested on me, unreadable as always."I..." I didn't know how to answer. "I just thought..."The words died before I could finish them. The healer's expression softened ever so slightly."Lillian," she said gently, "if you hadn't intervened when you did, the child wouldn't have survived."I stared at her. "...He survived?"She smiled and nodded. "The poison had already spread much farther than we would have liked, but the mixture you prepared slowed it enough for us to r

    Just outside it stood dozens of clay pots arranged neatly on wooden shelves. Several herbs filled them. Their leaves swaying gently in the afternoon breeze.My heart pounded. Please… Please let there be something here.I carefully laid the boy on the grass before dropping to my knees beside the pots.My eyes darted from one plant to another."No...""Not this one.""That won't work."Panic clawed at my chest as precious seconds slipped away.Then I saw them. Moonleaf. Right beside it was Silver Fern.Relief washed over me so suddenly that I almost cried."Thank you..."My fingers worked as quickly as they could, plucking several leaves from each plant before crushing them together between two smooth stones lying nearby. A cool green paste slowly formed.I hurried back to the boy."I'm sorry," I whispered, even though I knew he couldn't hear me. "This is going to hurt."Taking a deep breath, I pulled the sharp metal hairpin from my hair.For one brief second, my hand hesitated.Then I

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 17: A Boy In Danger

    Lillian's POVThe apartment was so quiet that I could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.I had never imagined silence could feel so loud.After breakfast, I wandered back into the living room and stood in the middle of it, unsure of what to do with myself. The apartment was comfortable, far more comfortable than anywhere I had ever lived, but comfort alone couldn't chase away the thoughts crowding my mind.Every time I closed my eyes, I remembered Alpha Hayes. His calm voice. His unreadable expression. The way he had pounded slowly, gently into me. I bit my lips as that tingling sensation covered me.Then quickly, the way he had spoken about pregnancy as though it were nothing more than another responsibility hit me. Then I remembered what he had said about the women before me.Some had died. Others had lost their minds.Without realizing it, I wrapped my arms around myself. This was going to be me soon. I shook my head, refusing to think about it any longer.If I stayed trap

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 16: Strange Voice, Strange Feeling

    Lillian's POV"Xathura..."A soft feminine voice drifted through the darkness, gentle enough to sound like a whisper and yet powerful enough to pull me out of my sleep."Xathura..."My eyes flew open.I sat upright in bed, gasping for air as my heart pounded violently against my chest. The room was quiet. The morning sunlight poured through the curtains, casting long golden streaks across the floor, and apart from the sound of my own breathing, there was nothing.I looked around the room in confusion."Who's there?"No one answered. The voice had sounded so close, almost as though someone had leaned down and whispered directly into my ear.I searched every corner of the room, but I was alone.A strange feeling suddenly settled over me. It started in the middle of my chest before spreading through the rest of my body like cool water flowing beneath my skin. I frowned, surprised by how... light I felt.Yesterday, I had prepared myself for the worst. After everything people had said abo

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 15: The Night

    Lillian's POVThe room suddenly felt too small.I had been pacing for what felt like hours, yet every time I glanced toward the door, only a few more minutes had passed. Tonight, Alpha Hayes was coming to my chambers.Tonight… We were going to conceive his child through sex. The thought alone was enough to make my hands tremble.I wrapped my arms around myself, wishing I could somehow disappear before he arrived. My eyes drifted toward the mirror across the room, and before I knew it, I was standing in front of it, staring at the reflection I had spent years trying not to look at.My stomach. My stretch marks. The soft curves I had always been taught to hate.Every flaw my family had pointed out since I was a little girl seemed louder tonight than ever before.Then I recalled Jake's face when we almost got intimate. The disgust in his eyes. The way he had looked at me as though my body was something shameful.That memory had broken something inside me. It was the reason I had never al

  • Billionaire Alpha's Plus-Size Mate    Chapter 14: Failed

    Hayes' POVI had been sitting in my office for nearly an hour, yet the document in front of me remained on the same page.That alone irritated me.It wasn't like me to lose focus, especially over something that had already been decided. The Elders had questioned my choice from the very beginning. To them, Lillian was nothing more than a rejected, wolfless, plus-size woman with no place carrying the bloodline of Arrowfang. Every argument they had made was based on logic, and under normal circumstances I would have agreed with them.Yet something about her had made me choose differently..I still couldn't explain why.Perhaps it was because every instinct told me there was more to her than anyone could see. Or perhaps I simply refused to believe that someone so ordinary could survive the auction, stand before me without collapsing, and then do something no one else in our history had ever done.Whatever the reason was, it refused to leave my mind.A knock sounded on the office door, pull
