Alaric's POV

...Cara was pregnant?!

With twins?!

Lilia's face is expressionless now, but I will never forget that little smile. The look of satisfaction on her face when she heard it was Cara who had been wounded in the accident. "LILIA!" Grey growls in my head. "She did this!! She is responsible!!"

She has hated Cara ever since the two first met. Lilia saw Cara as a rival, as an enemy.

How many nights did Lilia tell me to say how much I preferred her over Carà? Begging me to stroke her pathetic ego?

"I'm the best you've had, right?" Lilia had asked me with her big doe eyes one night after we'd had sex. "Better than everyone else? Better than her?"

She hadn't said Cara's name, but we both knew who Lilia had meant.

Now I see how wrong I was.

Lilia didn't just t want to O win. She wanted Cara to lose.
