Lily’s pov It was finally Summer break. I just graduated, I was no valedictorian like my sisters, but I had done well and my parents told me they were proud of me. I was looking forward to spending the summer with my sisters. Angelina was enjoying her travels with her mate and was marked a while ag
He left the table first, giving Charlotte a kiss on her forehead and told her “I will be late again, you can head to bed without me, my dear.” Charlotte smiled at Alpha Gabriel “goodnight Gabriel, I love you”. Beta Mike stuck around a bit longer, but finally gave up on trying to get Emma to like h
Lily’s pov I saw Alpha Osiris and a woman talking in the waiting room. The woman was really cool, she had short hair and a bunch of tattoo’s. She wore workout clothing which fit her muscular body perfectly. She must be Gamma Jara, Alpha Osiris mentioned her to Emma on the way to the hospital. Emma
“Did you ask for this?” I asked Emma, but Emma was as surprised as I was. Maybe Charlotte had brought it along with the bags, because no one here knew I loved to paint. Emma went to the bathroom and let the bath fill, while I underdressed. It was a bit awkward being this naked around Emma, but I ne
Osiris’ pov After Lily and Emma agreed to stay at my packhouse I immediately went shopping. I asked Jara to join me so we could talk about Emma. I wanted to buy some things for Lily to make her more comfortable this week. I bought some plastic covers for her ankle, some paint supplies and I mindlin
The next morning I woke up, showered and walked down stairs. I was hoping I would see Lily at breakfast, this was my first chance to make a good impression. Emma was there and I told her Jara would stop by to give her a tour of the city. Emma looked a bit frightened. “Jara just wants to get to know
Lily’s pov For some reason I don’t understand, Alpha Osiris wants to show me around town tomorrow. I had spend yesterday in bed most of the day, but today Emma has promised to do something fun with me. I woke up, still a bit sore and took a shower. I hadn’t dared to take another bath after last tim
Osiris’ pov Fuck, I forgot about Jenna. She really didn’t deserve this, but I was too preoccupied with Lily. I can’t believe she just showed up and Lily was there to see us. There goes my attempt to make a good impression. “Just end things tonight with Jenna and then starts fresh with Lily tomorro
I noticed Cyrus wasn't swearing because all the kids were here. I knew it was hard for him to keep the fucks in. Jara smiled, “when I came out, I was so nervous. My parents always raised us to accept everyone, but what if the pack didn’t accept me? But my little brother Riker was perfect. He told m
The end. Lily’s pov It has been a year since Riker died. Mia is moving out next month and Damian and Kane will move in. Things are changing, life is moving on. But tonight we are looking back. Remembering Riker and the impact he had on our lives. Osiris had invited everyone that was important to
Osiris’ pov “I think you should make Damian the official Beta. He’s been doing Riker’s job for almost a year now and he deserves it.” Lily said. I shook my head, “it feels wrong. And what will happen to Mia and the kids? They’ve grown up here.” Lily sighed, “you know what’s wrong? Not rewarding D
Cyrus’ pov “Dad, I know you have a brother and a niece, uncle Joshua and Melanie. But any more family, I should know of. I have to make this fucking family tree.” Leia said. “Language.” April yelled from across the room. I still sometimes spoke to my brother, Josh and Melanie, but not as often as
Mia’s pov “Mom can you tell us again how you and dad met?” Sierra asked me. She and Roman looked at me filled with anticipation. I had promised I would tell them about Riker and me. What he was like when he was younger and how everything started. I had been avoiding it. Scared it would make me cry
Osiris’ pov “So what was the first time you felt like something was your fault?” Was I really doing this? Going to therapy? I thought I could just talk to Lily and Cyrus, but they seemed to think I need more help. That it’s not just Riker’s death, but everything that happened. I don’t mind therapy
Cyrus’ pov “I have barely seen him now, for three weeks. He works and then at night he goes out and patrols. He didn’t even attend the funeral. I am so worried.” “Luna Lily, I’m sure he’s okay. He’s just dealing with Beta Riker’s death in a different way.” April said, trying to calm Lily down. Li
Lily’s pov Once Asher was asleep, I got dressed and went downstairs. Mia had broken the news to Roman and everyone was crying. Sierra was still covered in blood and staring ahead. “How can I help?” I asked Arya. “Maybe that’s what you should ask Mia? See how you can help?” Arya advised. Mia was
