Chapter 72
Lilac must not remember this, but Hunter remembered everything with every fiber in his being. He might have told Lilac how he owed her his life, but he didn’t

to detail how he felt at that time. How scared he was that he was going to die if she dropped her or gave up on him.
Lilac was indeed crying because her arms were hurt, but not even once she any indication that she would give up on him. That little girl showed such determination to keep him alive.

But things that Hunter didn’t tell her in detail was how scared he was for his life. He was only eleven years old, a child himself and that was his first killing attempt. Even now, he would have that nightmare about what happened in the past.
The only comfort was; Lilac would always be there for him. Held him up.
Yes, he messed up in his teenage years, but there was not even a moment that passed without him thinking about Lilac, especially when she disappeared like a smoke. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Hunter k*ssed her when she fell asleep in her secret cave one day, as he came and found her curling her little b*dy on the ground. He k*ssed her l*ps and swore that he would take responsibility for that and her l*ps were the only l*ps he had ever k*ssed.
None of those women had the fortunate to be k*ssed by him, just like what Hunter said, it was all physical and there was nothing more, there was nothing less. He didn’t want to share such intimate moment with anyone else.
On the fourth day, Lilac finally healed completely and during that time, Hunter would sleep on the couch inside the room. More so, he had to keep his eyes on her, so she wouldn’t turn her back in her sleep, as result, Hunter would have a little time to sleep, but he didn’t complain about it at all. He dutifully kept his eyes on her.
Lilac had told him not to do that and it looked uncomfortable, but Hunter insisted and he didn’t take a rejection very well. Were all alphas like that?
In the end, Lilac didn’t say anything, more so, she did not really reject the idea of Hunter to stay in the same room, since she was still scared if the other twenty eight women would try the same thing.
When Lilac voiced out her concern, Hunter only ruffled her hair and told her Grace was already enough for an example for them to back off.
On the fifth day, Lilac came to the dining hall, because Hunter insisted for her to blend with other people and if she liked, she could find a friend.
She doubted that.
Lilac would feel sick if she found out she befriended one of the twenty eight women that had been with Hunter, but he reassured her, those women were from different town. Still, Lilac still hung up with that fact.
Probably with time, she would accept that, but right now, it was like a wound and it was still fresh.
Thankfully, she found three women, who she could talk to. One of them was Raya, Rye’s sister. She was as a kind and outspoken woman, her personality was like the gamma so much, but when the two of them met with each other, they couldn’t help, but quarrel. It seemed, having the same personality didn’t make you get along well.
“Do you know that sir Kellan has been threatening the alpha?” Rose started. She was the gossip of the group, she always knew what the latest information.
“What is it?” Lena immediately came closer and Lilac couldn’t help, but smiled at her new friends. They were adorable in their own way, which reminded her of Aria. She missed her…
“Who is sir Kellan?” Lilac asked in the midst of their gossip and they stared at her with eyes wide opened, as if Lilac just grew the second head.
“You don’t know?”
“No way.”
“Where have you been?”
Lilac blinked her eyes. Today marked one month of her being in this pack and she got along well with some of the pack members, though there were some of them, who still looked at her with curiosity, as they didn’t believe their alpha would choose an outsider to be the luna, especially when she was a werewolf.
“Sir Kellan is Grace’s father.”
“He is forbade to enter the pack house because he has been asking, demanding the alpha to meet with him, to release her daughter”
“Grace’s mother still stays in the pack house, though, but she keeps crying all the nine, asking the same thing. The alpha might consider to kick her out of the pack

house too.”
The three of them talked simultaneously, trying to fill the information that Lilac was lacking.
“Heaven! How could you not know about that?” Lena looked like she was going to have a heart attack, as she dramatically clutched on her chest.
“Did the alpha not say anything about this to you?” Rose became a little bit curios about the relationship between Hunter and Lilac, no, she was always curios.
“Hunter has never mentioned anything about it.” Lilac realized how Hunter had never mentioned anything about Grace anymore. Probably, he could sense how uncomfortable it was for her to be reminded of that night.
“But, you spent all the time with the alpha.” Raya looked surprised.
“As far as I know he will take you anywhere he went,” Lena chimed in.
“What were you talking about when there were only the two of you?” Rose literally leaned forward to hear the answer from Lilac.
However, before she could say anything, Hunter had approached them. “I will take my woman with me, I hope you don’t mind.”
“No, alpha.” All of them shook their head and became very polite.
This was one thing that Lilac noticed, sometime, they looked scared of Hunter.
