LOGINLilith's POV.There was sudden silence, for the next few seconds, no one in the could utter a single word, not even Ria who had been screaming few seconds ago."I'm responsible for her pregnancy." Oliver repeated.His words echoed through the kitchen like a clap of thunder, leaving every one of us frozen where we stood, including other kitchen staff that were just entering the kitchen.For several heartbeats, nobody moved.Nobody spoke.I couldn't even bring myself to look up.My heart pounded so violently against my ribs that I was certain everyone could hear it.He...He had admitted it... Without hesitation.Without trying to protect his reputation, or trying to protect his title.He had simply stepped forward and claimed both me and the child.Slowly, I lifted my gaze.Oliver stood in the doorway with a calm expression, yet there was a fierce look in his eyes that I had never seen before.He wasn't angry, or even the least embarrassed.If anything, he looked relieved.As though he
Lilith's POV. The day was barely even bright when I woke, it was still a bit hazy, and most of the houseworkers hadn't even started their morning duties yet.The kitchen was extremely quiet, except for the little noise coming from the stove as it boiled my meat.I was beginning to love early morning cooking... There's just something comforting about preparing Alpha Oliver's breakfast before the kitchen became crowded.But today, I was anything but excited. Today, all I had inside of me was irritation, so much irritation.I placed the basket of fresh vegetables onto the counter a little harder than necessary before taking a slow breath."Calm down, Lilith."I whispered the words to myself, but it didn't help.Because every time I remembered everything alpha Oliver had narrated to me about his confrontation with Ms Mary, my annoyance returned all over again.Alpha Oliver was simply... Too peaceful and extremely kind to a fault.He is too willing to believe the best in everyone.I unde
Oliver's POV. Lilith had fallen asleep after our very beautiful moment, and once I was sure she was deep asleep, I headed out. Ms Mary should have some explanations for me. I mean, Ordinarily, I would have dismissed it as a simple misunderstanding. People made mistakes, forgot things or mix things up, none of those were unusual. But this? Telling a lie that complicated? It somehow refused to settle peacefully inside my mind. Severally , I had tried to convince myself that Ms. Mary had only been trying to help. But then, I remembered how nervous she had looked while standing outside my room. And then I remembered the incidence with Ria and how much she had insisted that I drank that wine. Is something going on that I'm not aware of? Or am I just being paranoid? "No." I shook my head to myself. "You're beginning to suspect everyone." That wasn't the Alpha I wanted to become. A ruler who trusted no one eventually ruled alone. And loneliness was a dangerous thing. Still...
(Author's POV)pressing his lips on hers, Oliver's tongue swiftly slid into her mouth as she moaned uncontrollably.His hand slowly crept to her waist, holding her tight and deepened the kiss.The silent room was filled with their kissing sound... Oliver had completely forgotten that he had a pack meeting to get to, and a tray of steaming hot food... All he wanted was to devour this painfully attractive woman in his arms.He slowly broke the kiss and traced tender kisses all over her neck then back up to her lips, their lips met and she. opened up her mouth to him.He passionately grunted uncontrollably into her mouth, letting his tongue slide into her mouth exploring and entwining with hers as the kiss deepened gently and tenderly."It's you alone Lilith, it's always you, and it's forever going to be you in my life, no one else makes me feel this way, I know you might still have doubts about us but I'll protect you, I promise to protect what we share with my last breathe, that's beca
Oliver's POV.The smile on my face spread even wider as I made my way toward the door.Just hearing her voice had already brightened my mood, and by the time my hand wrapped around the handle, I found myself smiling like a fool all over again.Moon Goddess; What has this woman done to me?A few months ago, I had been perfectly capable of going through an entire day without smiling once.Now?All it took was hearing my little troublemaker call my name, and suddenly my heart forgot how to behave.Chuckling to myself, I opened the door.And there she was.My eyes softened immediately.She stood there with a tray in her hands, her beautiful face lit up in that familiar gentle smile that somehow always managed to calm me."Oliver," she greeted softly.But the moment my eyes dropped to the tray in her hands, my smile slowly faded.I blinked; then blinked again.Because... She was carrying breakfast, another breakfast."Lilith?" My brows furrowed."Hmm?" She tilted her head.I looked at the
Oliver's POV. For whatever reason, I found myself smiling as I adjusted the cuffs of my black shirt in front of the mirror.There was an important meeting with the Alphas of neighboring packs today.Normally, such meetings exhausted me.Hours and hours of politics and trades, yet for the first time in years, I found myself looking forward to getting it over with.Not because I enjoyed it.But because afterward, I intended to spend the rest of my day with Lilith.The thought alone softened my expression.Sweet goodness, that girl has ruined me, completely.Just thinking about her brought a smile to my lips; thinking about the tiny life growing inside her only made my chest warmer.Our child.I still wasn't used to the thought; and yet… I loved it.Loved every bit of it.And the amusing part of it all was forcing her to rest... I've been making sure she rested so much that she was practically climbing the walls from boredom. The poor girl looked genuinely offended every time I forbade
Lilith's POV. The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was sunlight.A lot of sunlight. My heart immediately stopped beating, for at least few seconds. I shot upright so fast that dizziness hit me instantly."No."I turned toward the window.The sun was already high... Far too high.Panic
Lilith's POV.I lay across the bed still wearing the dress Alpha Oliver bought for me, staring blankly at the ceiling while exhaustion overtook my entire body.The night had been too much; too many emotions and unpleasant incidents.A slow breath escaped me as I closed my eyes briefly.I could stil
Lilith's POV.The party continued like nothing had happened.But I could barely focus on any of it anymore.Not after what happened with my father, and how Alpha Oliver stood in front of everyone and defended me so openly.Even now, standing quietly near one of the massive pillars at the edge of th
Lilith's POV.We all are in silence; although not in complete silence ofcourse.Ria ate noisily, her spoon hitting against the plate, obviously on purpose to show off her anger, Cole made one or two light comments here and there in an obvious attempt to ease the tension hanging over the room.But
