LOGINOliver's POV. For three days... Three painfully long days...I had remained exactly where I was now.Sitting beside Lilith's bed, holding her hand.Waiting, praying and hoping.Anything.. anything that would bring her back to me.The room was totally quiet except for the crackling of the fireplace in the corner and the occasional footsteps of healers walking past the ward.I stared at her face.She looked peaceful, too peaceful.The healers had changed her clothes, they had combed her hair.They had even placed fresh flowers on the windowsill because they said the scent sometimes brought comfort to recovering wolves.Recovering; I hated that word now.There had been no recovery, not yet.Not after three endless days.I slowly rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb.It wasn't as warm as it used to be, that alone made my chest tighten."You know..." I whispered, my voice rough from exhaustion."I've been talking this whole time, I don't even know if you can hear me."A weak smile to
Oliver's POV.The world stopped.One moment, I was holding Lilith's hand, and the next... She was limp. "Lilith?" I roared; my voice barely sounded like my own.Her hand still rested in mine, completely motionless. I stared at her face desperately; but there was nothing. No smile, no teasing remark telling me I worried too much.No gentle squeeze of my fingers, there was only... stillness.I looked toward the chief healer, she wasn't speaking.The other healers had also fallen silent.Something inside me snapped instantly."What happened?" I roared, staring from each of them to the next. No one answered immediately."What happened?" I asked again, my voice rose higher.The chief healer slowly approached me."My Alpha...""What happened?" I repeated louder."Answer me!"She recoiled slightly, her fingers trembling."The birth is over."My eyes immediately searched the room.I could hear a baby's cry, our baby.A healer carefully wrapped the tiny child in a blanket, but I barely loo
Lilith's POV. My legs ached,And it wasn't the ordinary kind of ache that disappeared after a few minutes.This one had remained remained constant over the past several weeks, growing stronger with each passing day as my stomach grew heavier.Oliver, however much he cared about me, acted as though I was merely complaining to a stone, not human. "No."He shook his head rigidly, his fingers still wrapped securely around mine. "We're not stopping yet."I looked at him in disbelief."Oliver... I'm tired."His expression remained unmoved."You've barely taken ten steps."I stared at him in disbelief. "Ten? I've walked across half the palace!"He laughed."You've walked from the bedroom to the front garden, that's hardly half the palace.""I regret marrying you." I groaned dramatically.He gasped theatrically. "You wound me.""So you mean after I carried you around this entire mansion for weeks, fed you and bathed you, this is how you repay me?" Maybe that's the problem, Oliver had prac
Lilith's POV. I never thought saying goodbye to someone I had only just found would hurt this much; I watched as King Vincent's royal guards loaded the last of his belongings into the carriage that would take him back home.Oliver stood beside me, one hand resting gently on the small of my back while the other absentmindedly intertwined with my fingers.King Vincent turned toward me with a warm smile that already felt so familiar now."My daughter." I could never get used to him calling me that. "You're not leaving forever, are you?" I raised a brow at him teasingly and he chuckled."I'm certainly not."He stepped closer and gently brushed a loose strand of hair away from my face."I expect you to come and visit me.. I mean I've barely found you, I'm not about to lose you again."I nodded slightly. "I'll certainly visit." His eyes lit up. "Promise?""I promise.""When?"I turned to Oliver with a teasing smile."You should ask your overprotective son-in-law."Oliver immediately rai
Lilith's POV. My heart had never beaten this loudly before.Not when I stood before the entire pack as they mocked me, not even when I discovered I was carrying our child.Nothing...Absolutely nothing prepared me for this.I stood just outside the doors of the ceremonial hall, my hands trembling ever so slightly beneath the folds of my white ceremonial gown.I was finally going to become the Luna of this pack.It still felt unreal.A few months ago...People wouldn't even call me by my name.It was always "the wolfless disgrace.""The curse.""The unwanted girl."Today...Those same people were waiting inside to witness me become the Luna of the pack.Life truly was unpredictable."My daughter."The familiar voice made me turn.King Vincent stood beside me, dressed in magnificent ceremonial robes worthy of the ruler of every werewolf clan.Yet despite the aura surrounding him...When he looked at me... He wasn't a king.He was simply a father looking proudly at his daughter."I wish
Lilith's POV. I genuinely couldn't breathe for the briefest minute, I forgot how to think or how to form words. The room disappeared around me.Everything faded into nothing but the elderly man standing before me.My Father?No.That couldn't be right.My lips parted, but no words came out.I turned slowly to look at Oliver, then back at the elderly man, then at Oliver again.Surely this was some kind of misunderstanding."M.. my father?" My voice came out barely audible. Oliver was no longer smiling, seeing the look on my face."Yes." He nodded slightly. "No..." I laughed nervously. "I don't understand.""My father is in the dungeon, and..." I stopped myself immediately.Is there a possibility? Even the tiniest little one?The memories of my father's constant words came rushing back to my head."If your mother hadn't betrayed me, you wouldn't even exist."The words echoed inside my head exactly as they had every single night of my childhood, up until this age.I remembered every
Lilith's POV.“You don’t need to go back there,” Alpha Oliver's voice snapped me out of my trance. “I’ll have everything you need brought here.”For a moment, I just stared at him.Because I didn’t understand how someone could say something like that so easily… as though cutting ties with everythin
Lilith's POV.I did not understand what was happening.Alpha Oliver did not let go of my hand, not even for a tiny second.The further we moved from my home and deeper into the pack, the more noticeable we'd become; People stared openly, their gazes flickering between him and me with obvious disapp
Lilith's POV.How did he get involved with those bad guys? And why did they want him dead? “Alpha Oliver" I called in a low voice.His body lay cold still.For a moment, fear gripped me so tightly I couldn’t move or think; I couldn’t do anything but stare at him in horror as the reality of the sit
Lilith's POV.Another day, another hours of cleaning and scrubbing.I moved from the laundry to the floors, then to the furniture, wiping and scrubbing, making everything spotless in a house that had never once felt like home.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.I paused just for a moment.The
