Winning Lilith Back
Adams’ POV
Of course, I knew she was mad at me, but I didn’t expect this. I was beyond embarrassed and didn’t know what to say when she said stop and removed her lips away from mine.
“Lilith…” I gasped. “But I said I’m sorry.
“What if you are sorry? Does that make up for the hurt I felt so easily? Did you know how bad I felt when you sent me out of our room like a street dog?” By now she had walked up the window and rested her back on it, facing me.
I sighed, knowing I was in the wrong. What was I thinking when I tried to kiss her?
“A few words do not make you sorry. You need to show it.” She voiced those words boldly, but I could see through her and I knew she didn’t mean them.
She clutched her body with her hands and turned to face the wall, avoiding my gaze again.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“What should I do to prove that I am sorry then?” I asked, walking towards her. As I finally got to where she stood, I wanted to hug her from behind and my wolf urged me to go for it.
But I knew better than to do so, not when she was in this semi-angry state.
“My love, speak to me.” I moved closer to her side and almost wrapped my hands around her when she looked at me. I froze on the spot and gulped a huge amount of spittle down my throat.
My heartbeat had increased to over a million beats per second and my blood boiled so hot, it could almost melt out my skin.
She had this “what are you trying to do look” in her eyes and I just stood there, speechless.
I was literally behaving like a baby, seeking its mother’s attention. She must probably be enjoying the torment I was going through because she smiled afterward, turning her back towards me again.
Damn this woman, she was going to make me lose my senses. Why does she keep turning her back towards me, making me devise a thousand and one more ways to grab her from behind and do all kinds of unimaginable things to her?
“She wants you to do it, just grab her and let’s get this done with.” My wolf wasn’t having any patience, and it seemed like he could burst out at any moment.
I tried one more time, to grab her waist and feel the warmth of her body on mine, but I still couldn’t.
“I wonder where you were when other men learned how to handle a woman. Here you are shaking like a toddler when she’s flashing every possible light there is to flash.” Whenever my wolf spikes like this, it always makes me wonder who was the master among us.
I was about to challenge him-to ask him to do the things he said, but I knew better than that. He would do more than was required.
We heard voices coming from below the building on the other side of the window.
She must have heard it too, as we both looked down, towards the direction of the voices and caught some maids giggling at the little love game their Alpha and Luna were playing.
The shame I felt afterward was beyond anything I had ever felt before. It would not take long before word moved all over the mansion about what was happening. To make matters worse, the maids must have figured out they would be caught so they hid themselves properly, running away just in time.
She closed the window immediately and walked over to her bed, sitting down on it.
“There goes our mate,” my wolf scolded. I was getting tired of his constant complaints and nagging.
“You’ll regret saying that,” he said before going silent.
I walked up to her and sat beside her on the bed as silence loomed over us.
“What happened yesterday?” She asked, breaking the silence which stood like a wall around the room.
“I had a really tough day…”
I mean what happened to the thief that was caught sneaking out of your office? What did he want?” She interrupted, staring at her feet.
My expression changed as a certain anger began to grow inside me. I was not angry that she asked, I was only angry that yesterday turned out to be a total waste.
“I really don’t want to talk about it, it was quite depressing.” I turned to see her face as I spoke, but it remained indifferent, like she didn’t care. Why did she ask then?
“OK,” she replied.
Silence reigned all over again, and it seemed like it wouldn’t end till she asked another question, one which I wasn’t prepared for. “Why was Raider here this morning?”
I was about to question how she knew he had come but decided not to. The maid must have told her.
“He invited us to his coronation as the Alpha of the Green Forest pack, as well as every member of the royal family.
“And you accepted to go?” She swung her face towards me and looked at me with a gaze so intense, if it were fire I would definitely have gotten burnt.
“I have not given him an answer yet. It is proper we attend though, as the Alpha King and Luna Queen of the packs.”
She didn’t speak after, but I could tell that she wasn’t pleased.
“If you don’t want us to go, I could… make an exception, send Ronan to go in my place.”
It seemed as if she was thinking about it. After all she went through in their hands, it was only expected that she reacted that way.
I still remember how broken and crumpled she looked when I rescued her from Cassandra.
Anyone who didn’t know her past wouldn’t understand. If she decided for us not to go, then we wouldn’t. If it came to pleasing my wife, then I would do anything.
“We will go.” She declared firmly and lay down to sleep, but sprang up again.
“I have a feeling Alpha Rivers’ death wasn’t natural. She began. “There’s more to it than we know.”
