Mated To Alpha Gregory

Lilith POV;

Immediately I opened my eyes, it felt as though a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulder. I had never felt so at ease in such a long time and, surprisingly, I felt energized. It must’ve been because of the encounter with the goddess.

Just then, I heard the door open and the running footsteps almost immediately.

“Your Highness,” I croaked out, just as he approached me and, without further thought, embraced him.

The goddess had shown me a few things, especially about how he had worried about me. He was really in love with me and didn’t need me for any agenda.

“Lilith! You’re…” he turned towards the door, “Get the doctor!”

I didn’t think there was a need for that, but I said nothing, tears streaming down my face as I thought about how I’d lost my life and caused him so much pain.

“Are you okay? Is there anywhere hurting you?” He glanced at me, checking my body as though he was going to find injuries or signs that I was unwell.

I chuckled. “I’m fine.”

“Sure?” He questioned, and I nodded, a smile playing on my lips.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

There was a slight knock on the door before it was opened to reveal his beta and another man who seemed to be in his fifties. I couldn’t recognize him.

“Your Highness, congratulations,” Ronan said, bowing, and I nodded.

“Thank you, Ronan. But where are my flowers? Don’t tell me you didn’t bring anyone. Is that how sick people are being treated over here?”

He exchanged glances with Adams, and I knew that he was thinking whether I was still okay, as I never even spoke, much more making jokes.

“Uhm, Your Highness…” his brows were pulled together into a frown.

I studied his expression, a small smile playing on my lips.

“Your Highness, did you hurt your head?”

My smile even widened as I shook my head, and faced the doctor, who quickly cleared his throat, and then bowed.

“Your Highness, I’m Doctor Mark, and I’m…”

“Doctor Mark is the best doctor in the entire kingdom, he is said to know exactly how to cure different ailments.

I nodded. “Thank you, Doctor.”

He nodded and began to examine me again, and after a while turned to Adams.

“This is a miracle! She’s perfectly healed!”

My smile widened.

“Doctor, are you sure? I mean, thirty minutes ago when I was here, she was still unconscious.

“That’s why I said this is a miracle. I have never seen anything like this in my thirty-three years as a doctor!”

“See, I just said I’m fine,” I grinned again, and he nodded, but I could still see the uncertainty in his eyes.

I stretched my legs, making him rush towards my side quickly.

Someone was yelling outside, it was more as though the person was quarreling with some other person.

“Who is that?” I frowned and Ronan stood up and walked out of the room. The doctor excused himself as well, and walked out.

The yelling intensified, making me frown. I noticed Adam’s displeasure as well.

“What do you think is going on out there?” I questioned, in an attempt to make a conversation. It was the longest conversation we had ever had, and this time around, I was doing much of the talking. I assumed that it was because he was surprised at my sudden change in attitude.

“I’m sorry,” I said startling him. He had not replied to me, but instead looked as though he was thinking.

“You’re…what are you sorry for? I should be sorry!”

I smiled softly, “No, I’m sorry for everything.”

I had been given a chance at life again but had botched it.

“Well… I. I don’t know what to say, Lilith, I don’t even know if this is real.”

I said nothing to that. It was all my fault. I had done nothing but push him away over the past month.

We sat in comfortable silence. His gaze was averted, but I couldn’t help but wonder what all the commotion outside was for.

“They said it was poison.”

I nodded, and then smiled. “At least, they didn’t succeed.”

“I’m going to get whoever is responsible.”

I nodded again, but said nothing.

I had asked the goddess, but she had said that it was for me to find out. Something about me trusting my instincts and having many foes instead of friends.

There was a knock on the door. Adams frowned before moving towards it to open it.

“What is it?” I heard him asking whoever it was.

Whoever the person was, Adams didn’t want me to see him, thus he whispered something I couldn’t figure out to him, which made him mutter something about coming back quickly before dashing out.

I suddenly had the urge to go out and check what was going on, but stayed back instead. I didn’t think Adams was going to be too pleased about me being outside. Plus, I thought it was going to be better to keep my recovery a secret.

I heard the sound of the door knob turning, and sharply glanced in the direction of the door, my heart slamming wildly in my chest as I suddenly had a bad feeling. Was the person who poisoned me back to finish up the job? Had the doctor told someone that I was awake? We didn’t tell him to keep it a secret.

“Congratulations, Your Highness.”

Those blue eyes which twinkled with mischief again! He was smiling. The words of the goddess came back to me. ‘Friend or foe’

“Thank you,” I replied, stretching my hands to collect the daisies he bought for me.

“In Black Hound, the daisies are a symbol of good health.”

“Oh,” I smiled, glancing at the flowers. “Thank you.”

“Always, what are friends for anyway?”

I was tempted to ask him how he found out that I was awake so soon, but kept it to myself.

“The entire mansion was in turmoil when you were in Coma. I never saw myself as a spiritual person, but I never stopped praying for you.”

I chuckled. “Oh. Thank you. It’s probably why I woke up.”

“My brother is doing so much to catch whoever was responsible. You’re much more important than you think you are.”

“But it’s all for show right, he doesn’t love me,” I studied his reaction.

He shook his head. “It’s not. He hasn’t gotten what he wants from you. It’s probably why he’s arrested his lover. Her father is outside, currently causing a commotion…”

“His lover? What? Who? Maya?”

“You seem to be talking a lot more than before,” he peered into my face.

“You didn’t just heal physically, you also healed emotionally. That’s interesting,” his tone sounded off, it was as though it had another meaning to it.

“His lover was arrested? Maya?”

“Oh yes, Lady Crane was detained earlier today in connection with your poisoning.”

I stood up immediately. I didn’t trust Maya, but the voice I had heard was definitely not hers.
