Osiris was taken aback by my words. “What are you going to do? Braid his hair and sing songs together?” he said mockingly. I looked at him with fire in my eyes “there is that rude Alpha again” I replied, which shut Osiris up. “Give me five days. If I don’t get anything out of the rogue you can do w
Osiris’ pov Lily came to dinner surrounded by the rogue’s smell. I had to show her I trusted her, that I would give her these three days. I knew it would lead to another fight or worse. I had said she had a voice in this pack and if I stopped her now, it would look like I don’t value her input. But
Lily’s pov After breakfast I took some food with me down to the dungeon. I was grateful that the guard and Osiris had decided to tie up the rogue differently. He sat down on a small bench, his feet locked together by some chain and his hands in front of him tied together by another set of chains. H
After showing Osiris just how thankful I was we went to buy some art supplies for me. I felt so inspired by my new gallery that I wanted to start painting right away. The Gallery wasn’t that far away from the packhouse, so I could either walk or drive there easily. Osiris had some work to do still,
Osiris' pov I hated how much time Lily was spending with Arden. She was too kind for the world. I didn’t know why Arden was talking to her, was her strategy actually working? I knew people would do anything to make pain stop and that would mean talking. But sometimes people would just make stuff up
Lily’s pov I went down to see Arden after breakfast, I brought some more food and water and a blanket. When I handed him the food Arden started eating right away. I don’t know if he was always hungry or if he wasn’t used to getting food regularly. He shoved the food down his throat in such a hurry
Osiris’ pov As soon as Lily was done telling me about Arden I wanted to go down to the dungeon and tear that piece of shit in half. Talking to my mate like that! Making her feel so uncomfortable. Lily was our Luna and no one should be able to disrespect her like that. Lily must have felt my anger,
“I won’t hurt Arden, but I do want to talk with him.” I told Lily. She nodded “you know it’s not about Arden right? It’s about you. You can have bloodlust in battle, I don’t care. But I don’t want you to torture people. It’s not good for you.” She really cares about me, more than anyone has ever d
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
“No Ashie. No Ashie. You’re not weak. It’s okay.” I felt thorn. I didn’t know if I needed to go help Mia and Sierra, or go home with my boy. Or go and look for Osiris. I took Asher’s hand in mine and we walked back to Mia. Jara was there, apparently Mia had mindlinked her. “Okay, Mia has someone
