D E L I L A H I woke up to a pounding headache. I literally felt like my skull was going to split into two. I let out a groan and attempted to get up from the bed, but my head felt too heavy to carry. I was never going to drink that much again if this was how I'm going to feel every freaking time. I was finally able to get up by palming my head in my hands as I walked towards the bathroom. I got to the cabinets and brought out an aspirin. I popped two into my mouth and chugged it down with water.I checked the clock in the room and my eyes widened in shock. I had slept for that long? It was two in the afternoon, I couldn't believe it.I let out a sigh and began undressing. I needed a warm bath. My muscles felt painful and sore. After peeling off all my clothes, I turned on the warm water and filled the large jacuzzi. I put in a lavender scented bubble soap and finally slipped in.A satisfied moan slipped out front my lips as the water touched my skin. I laid back and placed my head

D E L I L A H I just got comfortable in the living room, reading another book I got from the library when the doorbell rang. Carla, who was busy in the kitchen (she always was), I'm starting to think that woman is addicted to cooking. She smiled at me and walked to the door. I could hear her voice and someone else's voice at the door. But I couldn't quite see the person's face. Carla seemed pretty happy to see her. My brows creased as I wondered if it was the woman Azriel was talking about. Finally, a beautiful girl with dark long hair walked into the house with a huge smile on her face and multiple bags in her hands. But I got the shock of my life when she excitedly walked towards me, dropped the bags to the ground and threw me into a hug. Did I mention that she threatened to squeeze the life out of me too? “Omg, you're so much beautiful in person! I can't believe I waited this long to finally meet you!” She squealed after pulling away. I finally got a good look at her feature

D E L I L A HI could tell Azriel was barely restricting himself from pouncing on Elijah at this moment. His hands balled into fists and his veins threatened to pop as he glared at the vampire leader.“What. the fuck. are you doing here?” Azriel gritted out harshly.Elijah smiled, knowing fully well that he had successfully gotten on his nerves. “Why? My little old friend doesn't want me at his party? The food tastes horrible, by the way. Hire better caterers next time.” He taunted with a smirk on his face.“Is that so?” Azriel asked, his expression changing from furious to amused in a blink. “And you think I would take advice from you? A good for nothing pauper who allowed his company to go bankrupt? In fact, you should be thanking me for saving you from misery.” Azriel suddenly pulled me behind him as he stood face to face with Elijah. The two men squared reached each other, neither of them willing to back down as it would be a sign of weakness. “You know what I think?” Azriel cont

A Z R I E L “Did you deliver the files like I asked you to?” I asked Natalie, my personal assistant. She nodded her head. “Yes sir, the files have been delivered to Dean. Is there anything else I can do for you sir?” I was too lost in my thoughts to notice her seductive acts. “No, that will be all.” I said, off mindedly. Something felt incredibly wrong… I just couldn't pinpoint it. “Are you sure sir? I can make you feel good—” “Did I fucking stutter, Natalie?” I growled at her, having enough of her nonsense. “But–” “Get the fuck out of my office!” I snarled, watching as her eyes widened and she immediately scrambled to her feet and rushed out of the office. The only mistake I'd made in the past was mixing business with pleasure and fucking my own personal assistant. Now she carries it all over her head to act the way she likes. If only she wasn't so good at her job. I sat down on my office chair with a sigh. Trying to balance out Alpha duties and running a successful compa

D E L I L A HI slowly opened my eyes, feeling a dull ache pulsating through my head. As my vision adjusted to the light, I found herself in an unfamiliar hospital room with sterile white walls. The air felt heavy with the scent of antiseptic, and the distant sounds of beeping machines echoed through the sterile environment. Confusion washed over me, and I couldn't help but wonder how I had ended up in a hospital.My memory was foggy, as if a thick veil had been draped over my thoughts. I tried to recall the events leading up to me being in the hospital room, but all I could summon were fragments, like scattered puzzle pieces waiting to be arranged.I lifted a trembling hand to touch my forehead, only to feel a bandage wrapped tightly around my head. A dull throb emanated from beneath it, a reminder of some kind of injury. What had happened? How had I sustained such an injury?It was only them I noticed the mop of black hair on the bed. I could already tell who it was before I even sa
