Osiris’ pov I had tried to avoid Lily as much as I could. I didn’t want to expose her to my mood. I thought I was doing a good job at hiding my feelings, but I was clearly mistaken. Every year I had this anger and guilt inside me when the anniversary of my parents’ death came closer. I thought havi
Lily’s pov I had no idea how much work planning a wedding was. From the moment Osiris had asked me to marry him I had thought about our wedding, but I just figured it would be a small ceremony and I would wear a cute dress. Like a bohemian forest wedding or something. Arya giggled at my thoughts “a
Osiris’ pov Lily’s mom arrived yesterday and I spent most of the day in my office, hiding like a coward. They’re planning the wedding together and I should help, but I have no opinion on some of the choices they’re making. I don’t even know the difference between some of the colors they mentioned,
Lily’s pov My mother couldn’t stay long, although Charlotte was doing well, my mom still feared leaving her alone for too long. Apparently the first few weeks had been really rough, if it wasn’t for Amelia Charlotte might have hurt herself. I tried to apologize, but my mom stopped me “Lily I don’t
Osiris’ pov Today is our wedding day, my twenty-fourth birthday and the sixth year of me being the Alpha of the Iron River pack. Most of those first five years of being an Alpha I was trying so hard to live up to my father, but now that I have Lily and Asher I feel like I’m really starting to be my
Everyone giggled at my last line, but I also saw Mia wipe away some tears while Lily tried really hard to keep it together. Lily mind linked me “I should have gone first. It’s so hard not to cry, how can I say my vows now.” I smiled at Lily and waited until her breathing calmed down. “Go ahead my lo
Charlotte’s pov Rejecting Gabriel was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I often wondered what losing your mate would feel like, but I wasn’t prepared for this. The pain of rejecting Gabriel combined with the shame and anger I felt. I felt such shame for Gab's behavior, for my own reaction to Lily
Lily and Alpha Osiris had their first dance and they looked so in love. I felt jealous and sad, could I still have this after rejecting Gabriel? “You’re here to make amends right. Focus on that, not on Gabriel” Erica said wisely. After they danced with our parents. Mom danced with Alpha Osiris, whi
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
