Once Lily was sure she was out of sight from Jasmine and Nanny Nia, she leaned against a wall and took a minute to breathe.
She touched her forehead and felt beads of sweat.
She hurriedly pulled out a hankie from one of her pockets and began to very gently tap on her forehead.
Once she was sure she wasn’t sweating anymore, she returned it back to her pockets and resumed her way.
She stormed down the corridor, still well furious, her heels against the stone floor.
The servants who saw her tried to greet.
"Lady Lily." They greeted.
"Are you alright?" They asked.
But Lily ignored them and so they didn’t need to be told twice before steering clear of her path.
She turned towards the steps and began to match on her way up.
She was filled with undiluted fury and rage. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Lily who had always been the figure of a true luna, a true mate.
She had played her role to perfection. Sweet, composed, the ever-patient Luna-to-be.
The one who would never tell Alpha Xaden no. The perfect she wolf.
But now, everything was unraveling.
She had tried her best to maintain that presence even though her true intentions that she would never let Xaden go was hidden deep in her chest.
But this once, just because of today everything might have gone into the wind.
All her hard work.
All gone because of that damn wolf.
She gritted her teeth in rage as she finally reached the massive doors of the bedroom chamber and shoved them open.
She saw Lily and Anna already there together.
Good, she would kill all three birds with one stone.
"Lily." Anna said once she saw her.
She turned around and slammed the door shut.
Both Anna and Lisa shook at the tremor of the slammed doors.
"What’s the matter with you?" Anna asked confused.
Lily wanted to burst.
"Never mind that." Anna said casually said with a Wave of her hand and then she walked up to Lily, gleaming from excitement and the anticipation of the news she was about to hear.
"Did she get to take the tea? I know it is supposed to take effect later at night. But I’m just excited to hear the news. How did it happen? What was her face like?"
"She didn’t take the tea!" Lily snapped in rage at the questions being flung at her.
Anna blinked at her, completely astonished.
"W... wh... what do you mean she didn’t get to take it?" Anna asked in disbelief.
Lily ignored her and turned sharply at Lisa.
"How did you put the poison?" Lily demanded in rage.
"My lady?" Lily asked confused.
