Lily’s POV Hmm. Is Alpha Derek the one saying all this? I asked myself, no, maybe it's my stupid illusion. How would I even explain to him that my brother had made my life a living hell just because my parents had died and left him to cater for me? I behaved as if I didn't hear what he just said, but his deep baritone voice blared out again. Now, it is much more dangerous than before. "I said, how did you get all those marks on your body?" he says again. "I got them from my brother," I responded immediately, still in shock. He paused for some time, rubbing his hands across my waist region upwards. As his hands trailed on my deep cuts, sensational pains started getting into my brain. I'm sure he didn't know those were still paining me, but what if he did? Would he even care?
