Everything is stillLilian.Oliver and I knelt over Daemon whose face was white with blood dripping from his side. His eyes were closed, and his pink soft lips were now pale and white.“W-wh-what should we do?” I stuttered to Oliver, looking down at my palms and ashamed of myself.I was the cause of this! If only I had listened to Daemon, maybe this wouldn't have happened to him. We could still hear thundering footsteps and shouts from outside the room. Heavy-booted legs were heading our way, and my palms were increasingly getting sweaty and my heart pounding in fear.What was Kieran playing at? He had already gotten the journals. Why was he doing this? What exactly was his aim? I began pondering if we would actually make it out alive, or if he just wanted to capture us and torture us. His last conversation with me was vague, and the threats he kept making calmly… Was this it, or was there something more to come?Oliver pursed her lips and took Daemon's cold hand in hers before squeez

The Next Predator.Lilian.The switch.One moment he was hot, and the other moment he was cold… I didn't know when the soft laughter escaped my lips and a tear streamed down my face.“Okay.” I said simply, while they gave me a look of shock at my reaction. “Okay. Let's find out what Kieran Masters is really planning for us.”“Is she okay?” I heard Wilder whisper to Daemon, who still had an expressionless face.I marked him, and I knew he could feel the exact emotions I was feeling.“Where is he going to meet you?” Daemon asked, looking straight towards me and ignoring Wilder's question.“In her room, obviously. Where do you think they've been meeting for the past few days she's been here.” Wilder rolled his eyes as he replied to Daemon.There was a sudden shift in the temperature of the room and something dangerous glinting in Daemon's eyes.His eyes hardened and his jaw clenched. “What did you say?” His voice was strained as spoke. “You were in the same room with another man all thes

Breaking bones.Lilian.I felt my blood run cold at the mention of that and the only thing that bugged me was getting my memories back. I felt stupid not knowing what exactly was going on around me. I needed the potion from Kieran, and to accomplish that, I needed to get what he wanted.I turned away from Oliver to find Wilder, and he was lounging in his study when I entered.“Do you want to see your father or not?” I said the moment I barged into his study.He swiveled his chair to turn towards me before he replied. “I've been waiting here for forever, Lilian. What do you want me to do?” He gave me an expressionless face.“Fine.” I paused for a few seconds to catch my breath. “I want Daemon, Oliver, and Hailey out of the house. Including you.”He raised a brow and pursed his lips. “Why? What do you want to do?”“Don't ask.” My voice was hard.“I need to know if you would be inviting different kinds of people into this house when we are gone…"“I don't know anyone in the first place t

A not-so-simple taskLilian.I wasn't always like this.This bony and frail looking girl with hollow eyes. These eyes were vibrant once before, even my dark hair was shiny once before, now it looked scattered and dry like an overused mop.I sighed to myself as I gave up looking at my miserable frame in the mirror. This was my life now, I had made peace with it.There was no big bad Alpha that would swoop in to save me and destroy the lives of the people that were destroying mine everyday.“Are you done gawking at your ugly self, Lorraine?” The Luna's disgusted and mocking tone filled my ears.I looked up and saw the disdain her eyes had as they stared down at my bony figure.“I'm sorry, Luna. I just wanted to tell you that I was done cleaning Cailan’s room.” I bowed my head while I spoke.“Oh.” She stopped short at the stairs, looking all put together in the gold-coloured satin simple gown that hugged her delicate figure. “Find something else and do it. It is not like there isn't any

Daemon.“Hey! Daemon! Are you okay?” I heard Wilder's voice as he advanced towards my stumbling figure.“I met her…” I breathed out a painful sigh. “She… She… She's my mate.”His eyes flew open in surprise and a small frown formed on his face. “How is that possible? It's not possible.”“It is. She is. I've met her before, but I don't even remember when.” I opened the door of my car and shoved myself in, trying to calm the storm of emotions that were going through me.“You are a predator, Daemon. You're not supposed to have a mate. None of your ancestors did.” Wilder eyed me warily, he looked at me as if I had gone insane.“Maybe, I'll be the first in history.” I gave him a half smile, but my emotions were still in turmoil.“So,” Wilder paused, trying to understand everything I had just said, “Your mate will be the end of you? What form of twisted irony is the moon goddess playing in your life?”“Beats me.”“So,” He paused again, this time with a flair for dramatic effect. “What are yo
