A Surprise For Dinner
Lilith’s POV
I hissed, realizing there was no way I could make him stay.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The news we just heard was more than enough to make him leave the room without batting an eyelid.
“I’m sorry, but I have to go. I’ll make up for this, I promise.” He stood up and went towards the door. I sat up on the bed, hearing his footstep and that of Ronan move down the hallway.
A tingling sensation ran through my skin as my brain replayed his touch and the kiss. My lips shivered as I touched them with my hands, wishing the intimate moment we had never ended.
It wasn’t my first time. I had done it-all of it before with Raider, when we were still madly in love with each other or rather, when I was still madly in love with him.
Doing it again with Adam made those feelings and sensations which I kept bottled up all this while feel new to me. How long I sat there thinking of the short interesting moment we just had, I can’t say. But time must have gone quickly, so much so that when Cara came into the room, it was to inform me that dinner was ready.
I giggled, remembering his words. He said he’d be back by dinner time, which meant that he was already waiting at the dining table. I frowned, feeling betrayed somehow. He should have at least come to see me when he came back.
“All that doesn’t matter now, just go downstairs to have dinner with him so that we can get to the main part.” Lexi danced crazily inside me, already in a different world.
A smile crept onto my face as I realized she was right, why get all angry and pissed off when he was just down the stairs, waiting for me. Who knows, he would welcome me with open arms the moment he sets his eyes upon me.
“Cara, what do you think I should wear for dinner today?”
She looked at me with a shock plastered all over her face as if she didn’t expect me to make such a request. She became flustered and tried to speak, but the words just didn’t make sense.
“I… I don’t k… know your high… highness. What would you like to wear?”
My lips curved into a smile which spread across my face. “Something simple but you know… hot.” I winked at her, and she giggled, putting her mind at ease.
She went to the wardrobe in the room and opened it wide. It was filled with so many dresses, it made me wonder who would wear all this?
I sat down on the bed, watching patiently as she searched.
After searching for what seemed like eternity, she found a dress, a beautiful one, which caught my attention. It was a long purple gown which hugged the body from the boobs, down to the hips, revealing the shape of whoever wore it.
From the hips down to the foot, it swept the floor with its huge flair. She helped me get into the dress and I smiled satisfactorily. It wasn’t tight, but it exerted just the right amount of pressure to make Adam’s thoughts go wild.
Immediately I finished getting dressed, we went down the stairs. I had hardly reached down when the smile on my face wiped like it had never been there.
Who I saw took my breath away. But not in a good way, it was rather in a way which made me feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
Sitting at the table were his brothers. Not just one or two, all three of them. To make matters worse, he was not there.
How could I be so stupid! I screamed inwardly. How could I forget that his brothers were around, and we hardly got a minute of privacy at the dining table.
I had dressed in such a beautiful way to impress him, but him not sitting at the table made me worried, not for myself but for him. Where was he?
It was too late to turn back. Even if I wanted to, the dress wouldn’t permit me to do so quickly without calling an unwanted attention.
His brothers’ eyes, all three of them landed on me and I felt like a sheep in the midst of three bad wolves who wouldn’t hesitate to shred me to pieces.
The way they looked at me and feasted their eyes on my body made me feel naked-exposed to not just them, but to the world.
Their mouths were opened, and their lips failed to seal the crumbs and remains of food in their mouths. They were obviously surprised by how good I looked. I bet they’ve never imagined me this way.
“Your highness,” what a pleasant surprise. You look ravishing, I could almost not recognize you.” Ben stood up and walked up to me, holding his hands out. “Please join us for dinner.”
I looked around one more time for any sign of Adam or his beta, Ronin. I could have rejected Ben’s hand and his dinner proposal, but I decided against it. What hurt could dinner with my husband’s brothers do to me?
So I took his hand and he led me to a chair by his side. He pulled the chair out, and I sat down amidst bows and chants of “your highness,” from the other brothers seated.
I was surprised, as I always thought they addressed me formally, because Adam was always present. Even in his absence, they didn’t call me by my name or acknowledge my presence casually, which made me ask myself again, what if they didn’t hate me that much?
I settled down on my seat, my heart thumping hard against my chest. It took all the self-control in the world to stay out as I kept having a feeling of being watched.
Cara came close to me and whispered into my ears. “They wouldn’t hurt you, your highness, none of them will. They would risk the wrath of their brother, the Alpha King.”
Hearing this, I relaxed a bit on my seat and proceeded to eat the food before me when one of them asked a question which put me off balance.
“So…” he began. “Just how was a weak and worthless Omega from the Green Forest pack able to seduce the almighty Alpha of this pack-my brother.”
I looked up, to see who spoke and all I saw in the pair of green eyes staring directly into my soul, was hatred.
