Lillian Pov It has been three days since I left the demon kingdom. I didn’t follow them back because of Alma. At least she can’t attack me here. Octavia and Silver will spot her out in a second. I know I shouldn’t be hiding in their shadows, but I have no choice but to hide. I know they will protect me and I can rely on them, but I am just scared of what will happen to Zira. That is why I haven’t been vocal. I’d rather suffer in silence than let my pup be affected. My injuries have been healing slowly, but they don’t open up again. I walked through the kingdom ground, heading to the training ground. I don’t really train, but I like to watch them, especially Octavia. She is hilarious during training and it’s sometimes fun to see her savaging people. No, I lied. It’s always fun, but when I got there, she wasn’t there. It was Axel; the beta anchoring the training. “Where is Octavia?” I asked. He turned to me. “There you are. She told me to tell you to come to the conference room,”
Lillian PovIt has been two days since I came back to the demon kingdom and all the physicians that have come kept saying the same thing. There is no cure. Zira is becoming more pale, the veins are becoming bigger and some are protruding out of her skin. I am getting more worried and scared because she looks like she is slowly dying and there is nothing I can do. Asher traveled today to personally meet a famous physician on the outskirts of the kingdom, so I don’t know how long that will take, but I hope he comes back with good news. I clean the sweat forming on her face gently. Her skin is so pale and icy but somehow she sweats like she is inside a volcano. I breathe out tiredly, just looking at her. Then the door opened and Alma came in, looking elegant as usual. But I can see she is wearing a wig. I ripped most her hair off.“What are you doing here?” I growled, standing up from the bed. She gave me a cruel smirk.“You know, you had the guts to lay your filthy hands on me,” s
Lillian PovIt has been two weeks since my encounter with Alma, and things have been worse. Zira’s condition is becoming worse. She doesn’t eat but only vomits blood. Her body is more of bones and flesh. Every time she would scream and trash, itching and clawing at her skin and those times only Asher can hold her because she just has this strength and all I can do is just cry helplessly, looking at her. At this point, I highly doubt she will make it in 3 months. Also, for two weeks, Alma has been abusing me physically and mentally. My skin is way worse than before, but now that I actually have proof to show Asher, I can’t, because my daughter’s safety lies in her hands. I am exhausted. I haven’t spoken a word to Asher, and he thinks I am ignoring him, but I am actually not ignoring him. Alma is always in the shadows, monitoring my movements. I beg her a lot of times to kill me but free my daughter, but it’s like she wants to see me suffer for the humiliation I caused her even thou
Lillian PovIt was the next day, and I woke up on my bed with a massive migraine. My head was throbbing, and it felt like they hit my head with a hammer. I tried to remember what happened last night and how I got to the bed. Then I remembered everything, Alma telling me to go to Asher so they can spend the night. I wondered if they spent the night together. He doesn’t like her right, so that means they didn’t spend the night together. I sighed, coming down from the bed, then I dragged myself to the bathroom. I took my bath using the hot shower and after bathing I went to my closet and threw on some black clothes, then I headed to Zira’s room to check up on her. I don’t know where Asher and I will end, if we will end up together or split. I don’t know nor do I see a future for us together, but I hope whatever happens with us shouldn’t affect Zira in any way and let her be okay, because that is the only thing I want for her. I got to her room and opened the door and it surprised me
Lillian PovPain. Everyone has their own definition of pain. Your small toe hitting a wood you didn’t see, your elbow hitting the floor or an iron. Downloading a movie and when there’s just 3 percent remaining to be downloaded, your internet connection disconnected or the pain when your family goes on a trip without you because you committed an offense. Those are all types of pain, but have you felt the type of pain when you are so hopeless and you feel the world has turned against you? The one when you're loved one’s turn their back against you and ignore you? The one when you are drowning in continuous pain and your heart beating loudly against your chest and you can’t do anything to stop it. Those are the pain I feel. I can feel myself drowning in self pity and disgust, and the only thing I can do is look and be allowed to be stepped on. How long has it been? One week? Two weeks? A month? I do not know, but I have been stuck in this room for a long while now. My back was agains
Lillian PovI swat my hand, feeling a gentle breeze on my face. Then I cuddle back to my warm pillow. My pillow, weirdly, smells nice and is moving, and it’s also hard and comfy at the same time, but I love it. It’s comfortable, so I snuggle more into it and my pillow chuckles.“Lillian, wake up,” I heard Asher’s raspy morning voice and instead of waking up, I snuggled more to him because I might ever have the chance to.“You are overly affectionate today,” he said, putting my hair behind my ear, but I still didn’t open my eyes. His hand trailed to my neck, and he rubbed it softly while I breathed out through my nose, enjoying the feeling of him beside me. But then his hand trailed to my shirt, and he moved it down a little.“What is that?” he asked, about to pull my shirt down further. I flinched away, removing his hand and covering my body.“It’s nothing,” I said, because there was no way I would allow him to see my scar. If Zira comes back hopefully healed, Alma might still hurt her
Lillian PovWe have been flying for some time now, but suddenly the air changed. The wind is more cold and chilling. A shiver ran down my spine as I looked around. This place is so dark and the aura is so dead and the only thing I am seeing is clouds.“Why is it so cold?” I asked.“The atmosphere here is different, ‘’ he said, and I noticed his voice got deeper. I looked at him and he changed to his demon. There were two black horns by the side of his head. I can’t see him fully, but I know his skin is slightly red, and he is bigger. Then his body lit on fire a little, but it didn’t burn me, instead it warmed me up. The clouds cleared up and my mouth wide opened in shock as I looked at what was in front of me. Everywhere was red, the clouds were red and I could see the hills and they went way back. The air smells like death and the worst part is I can hear the cries of pain and agony that send a dark shiver down my spine. Suddenly, I don’t want to see hell anymore. Asher chuckled.“Do
Lillian Pov“Kyle,” I whispered, looking at him. Kyle is a human who apparently fell in love with me years ago, but he didn’t love me. But he was working with the vampires to take Octavia and Silver down. He involved my pup and Octavia’s pup, endangering them while mating with another wolf who was working for them as well. I can’t believe I would ever see him. The last time I saw him was when I chased him out of the conference room and after the war, I didn’t hear about him.“Oh, him. Octavia and I found him and his little girlfriend while they were trying to escape, and we killed them,” Asher said nonchalantly. I look at him again and he looks normal, just more frail and the skin around his eyes has sunk inside, making his eyeballs bigger than usual.“Is it because of what he did to me he is here?” I asked. “No, he and his girlfriend killed people in order to escape, they were both psychotic and you know his little girlfriend tried to kill Octavia but Octavia killed her in a few sec
