Lilith’s POV“Mate” the words I had heard him say before only they were to me. Mykel stood there his eyes pitch black as he stared at the woman that had just entered the room. She was stunning. Her hair a chestnut brown her blue eyes bright like my own. The poor thing looked scared out of her wit. Her eyes refusing to meet Mykel’s as an older man gripped a hold of her arm.“Your mistaken young alpha. She is spoken for” A sinister smile spread across the guy’s face as he shoved the woman away and towards the table. Tripping over her own feet the aggressive man pulled her up and shoved her into a chair. Mykel growled and turned away storming out of the room. Keeping my calm composure I walked after Mykel, my walk turning into a run as I tried to catch up with him. Gently I closed the door to his office to give us some privacy.“Mykel what was that? Who is she?” I sat opposite his him and scowled as he poured himself a scotch. I had hoped he wouldn’t drink while the meeting was taking pl
Mykel’s POVI was at lunch with Lilith when the schools warning alarms began blaring throughout the canteen. Teachers and students everywhere running like crazy. Security guards was trying to rein the students under control as they screamed and shouted unsure of what was happening. I was about to follow the teacher when my father’s erratic voice mind flitted into my head. We were under attack, and he was telling me to get to the bunker when the link suddenly ended. I knew something was wrong by the knot that had formed in my stomach. Standing from my chair I went to run out of the canteen when Lilith grabbed my arm. Tears were falling from her beautiful blue eyes as she pleaded with me to stay. To let the warriors do their jobs. But I couldn’t, this pack would one day be mine and the fact my dad ended our link so abruptly it wasn’t like him.I quickly kissed Lilith promising her I’d be ok, that I would come and find her when it was safe. She begrudgingly let me go before running with
Mykel’s POV“Benjamin to what do we owe the displeasure” the moment we entered the dining hall his eyes became fixated on Lilith. Her grip on my hand became tighter only proving how uncomfortable she felt around him.“Good morning Mykel, Lilith always such a pleasure” I growled at his informal introduction. He was visiting us; he didn’t know us personally so for him to not use our titles was a massive sign of disrespect. “Oh, aren’t you moody this morning. I just thought I would arrive early and… enjoy the scenery before the meeting” His eyes trailed over Lilith a snarl leaving my lips had him smiling at my reaction.“Fine but I’m warning you. You keep your fucking hands to yourself. After last year your lucky you still have them” Elijah snarled from behind me. He hated this man as much as I did. Not only had he tried to rape Lilith, but he also spiked Elijah’s sister’s drink. What he hadn’t known was that she was pregnant and as a result lost her pup. A feeling both myself and Lilith
Mykel’s POVEveryone had taken their assigned seats and the meeting was about to begin. I could feel Lilith’s unease through the bond. She had hoped other Lunas would have made the trip, however only two had come. We spent the next hour introducing ourselves when a scent had my mouth watering. It smelt like warm vanilla with a hint of spice. My wolf began to stir and for the first time ever he tried to take control.‘Mykel is everything ok?’ Lilith mind linked me clearly feeling my frustration.‘Yeh Lil everything is fi…’ my words lodged in my throat as the door was pulled open. A small but well-built man entered the room. By his aura I knew he was an Alpha so wracking my brain I tried to remember the name of the absent alpha but came up empty.“I do apologise for my tardiness. I had to wait for someone to sort themselves out” his angry eyes fell on the door as a dark-haired woman walked in.“Mate” I growled realising that breath taking scent was coming from her. The audible gasp that
Raven’s POVAs the light beamed through my blinds it made my eyes sting. They were so sore and even with my wolf helping me heal it wasn’t enough. Every smack he delivered was brutal, leaving no skin untouched. When I was younger it would only be places that could be hidden under clothes, but once I received my wolf all that changed. He stopped caring where the marks were knowing after a day or two, they would be gone.“Ahh please stop” I whimpered as I was ripped from my bed. My head hitting the wooden post before hitting the floor. I hadn’t even heard him come in.“How many times did I tell you. You were to be up and ready by 9am” the spit landed on my face as he spoke. It took everything I had not to cry and not to cringe knowing it wouldn’t do me any good.“I’m sorry” was all I found myself able to mumble before his fist connected with my jaw making me cry out. He hit hard but at least he didn’t break it this time.“You fucking look at me when you speak. Not the fucking floor” I b
Lilith’s POVNothing had gone as I had imagined it. Never in a million years did I expect Mykel to be blessed with two mates. Though I meant what I said. I wouldn’t stand in his way. I wouldn’t be the reason he didn’t claim her, I just couldn’t do that to him. During the meeting I could tell how uncomfortable the poor girl felt and only when I walked to the bar, did I realise why. Benjamin’s large hands were slowly sliding up and down her inner thigh before slipping his fingers under her skirt. Seeing her tense made my stomach churn, so taking a deep breath I turned to face him before telling him to keep his hands to himself in front of the entire room. This man really had no shame. He was well aware of her being fated to my mate, yet he still touched. Though I don’t know why it shocked me because he had tried to rape me in the past.“Lilith are you ok?”“Hmm yes sorry just thinking. After all the planning and the build up that led to today, I never saw this coming” Picking up my gin
Lilith’s POVI spent the next hour talking with Raven and getting to know her. She really was a lovely girl and if she could somehow overcome her past, I had no doubts in my mind she could be a strong woman and mate for Mykel. Though I was wrong about one thing, she wasn’t a victim she was a survivor. I had promised her I wouldn’t tell anyone of what we spoke about and that included Mykel, though I felt guilty for keeping it a secret from him. Having heard what Raven went through however helped me make my mind up. I was one hundred percent going to challenge Benjamin. He was a disgusting vile person. He wasn’t even a man because men wouldn’t do what he did. Once I left Ravens room I went to speak with Mykel who was held up in his office. When I opened the door, I could see him staring down at his bottle of scotch. I was however pleased to see the seal remained intact, though his hands were shaking so I knew he was on the verge of opening it.“What’s wrong” I asked as I walked towards
Chapter EightMykel’s POVWhen Lilith agreed to challenge Benjamin, I was thrilled beyond words. Once made challenges had to happen within twenty-four hours. There was no backing out as this would leave you looking weak. I knew without a doubt she had the strength she needed to beat him; however, I didn’t want to take any chances. So tonight, when the meeting is over, we would skip dinner and I’d go back over her training with her. After getting dressed, together Lilith and I made our way back to the meeting room. It was due to reconvene in five minutes, and next on the agenda were the treaties. Elijah was sat there already waiting a knowing look on his face as he winked and smirked at Lil and me. I had forgotten he had been outside my office, so he most likely left when he realised what we were doing.As we took our seats Benjamin walked in with a teary looking Raven. Her hair hung over half of her face as she tried to hide something. Standing from my chair Lilith grabbed my hand, he
