Lilith's POV His eyes widened in surprise as he abruptly rose from the chair upon which he had been seated. He scrutinized my face carefully and inquired, "Are you certain about that?" I smiled and replied, "I've never been more certain about anything in my entire life." "Come here," he said in a seductive tone, extending his hand. I placed my hand in his, and he gently drew me closer to him. A broad grin stretched from one end of his face to the other as he locked eyes with mine. "You don't know how happy you've just made me," he said, cradling my face in his hand and planting a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled back and gazed into my eyes, which were filled with desire, just like his own. He kissed me again, this time with intense passion. My legs were on the verge of giving out. He supported me with his strong hand. All I could think about was having him inside of me; I was already wet. I craved him, and even my wolf yearned for him, but I understood he wouldn't be ready for that

Lilith's POVI wondered what the favor could be. It was rare for him to ask me for favors; most of the time, he just told me what he needed help with, and I did it without hesitation."Let's hear it," I said, setting down the spoon I held onto the plate."My father wants to treat us to dinner tomorrow evening. He promised to bring you along," he said, his brows slightly furrowed. He made a cute face at me, a subtle attempt to persuade me not to refuse.I giggled and shook my head. He was trying to bribe me, and it worked."What's funny? You won't come?" he asked."Of course, I'd come. How could I refuse when you make a face as cute as that?" I winked at him and smiled. He returned my smile and continued eating."When you come over, just pretend that his food is the best you've ever had. Trust me, it will be," he said proudly. I didn't doubt him one bit. I mean, we're talking about Joseph here, a man who's good at anything and everything."Trust me, I will," I responded. This must be v

Lilith's POVWere my efforts all in vain? I wondered. Did this mean that despite enduring the unpleasant taste of those pills I despised, I still had to undergo a doctor's examination? "Wow, Lilith, you might be in some serious trouble," my inner thoughts chimed in. "All you can do now is pray that you're not pregnant!"Adrian held my hand and reached the clinic's door. He knocked, but there was no response. He knocked again and again, still no one answered. It became evident that the doctor was not present. "Thank goodness," I murmured under my breath. It was almost as if the universe was conspiring in my favor."He's not here; we should head back to the bar," I suggested, feigning disappointment."Don't worry, love. Let's wait a few more minutes to see if he returns," Adrian reassured me. This was starting to frustrate me. Why was Adrian so insistent on getting me checked out? Why was he being so difficult? I couldn't react based on my irritation; it might make me seem suspicious, a

Lilith's POVHe smiled and said, "My father said you're okay, and there's nothing wrong with you, so I guess there'll be no need for that," he finished.Thank goodness! I heaved a sigh of relief. "He made sure I went to him every two hours to check my body temperature, can you believe that?" I asked, acting as dramatically as I could.He laughed heartily, "He did what he had to do. We care so much about you; we can't afford to let anything happen to you."I smiled as he planted a kiss on my forehead and then my face and neck, causing me to giggle. Sonia and Seline were glaring at me from a corner. I kept unintentionally looking in their direction. Work had ended; shouldn't they be on their way home instead of lurking around like predators waiting to devour their prey?"Let me take you home," Adrian said.I nodded, grabbed my bag, and we left."Why didn't you come to work in the morning?" I asked.The look on his face changed to a solemn one. I wondered what the problem might be. He na

Lilith's POV I breathed a sigh of relief when Alpha Andrew opened the door and informed me that my mother had not yet returned, even though she had left an hour ago to fetch something. "Thank goodness!" I exclaimed. Without wasting any time, I quickly entered the house and started preparing dinner. It wasn't long before my mother returned; by then, I had already served Alpha Andrew his meal. She warmly embraced and kissed him and then requested that I serve her as well. After they had finished eating, I proceeded to clear the plates. My mother cast a quizzical glance my way, her eyes narrowing as they swept over my figure. "Is everything alright with you, Lilith?" she inquired, her tone devoid of any concern or worry. "I am fine, mother," I replied. "You don't appear to be," she retorted, "you've put on a bit of weight, and you look bloated. It seems you've been indulging in excessive eating. You can't afford to continue doing that, my dear. Money is hard to come by," she added w
