Beta Eros stood up “my apologies Alpha Osiris. I didn’t know you were here already. It’s really nice to meet you, I’ve heard a lot about you” “I have heard nothing about you.” I said, still annoyed with his behavior. “You know if you want to find out why he’s acting this way, you might have to chan
Lily’s pov I woke up from my nap feeling rested. It was strange being back in my old room with my son, a lot of things have changed since I met Osiris. “Lily are you awake? I am going to take your dad to a treatment center a few hours away. Maybe you could spend the day with Charlotte? See how she
Charlotte blushed “whatever. We are just friends. I think. He did compliment me and we’ve been talking a lot. I don’t know. Who would want to date a single mother anyway. Especially after what happened.” I winked “I bet Chris does.” I looked at Charlotte’s hair “how short are you going with your ha
Charlotte’s povI felt bad for not realizing how badly dad was really doing. I thought he was hanging in there, but Alpha Osiris was only here for thirty minutes before he realized dad needed more help. “You are not his parent. You were taking care of Eddie and Amelia, while handling most of your da
Eros’ pov I’ve been keeping Charlotte away by being extra mean. I know it’s not fair to her, but when I spotted her on my first night here something happened to me. Something that made me want to avoid Charlotte. I wanted to explore the forest, I haven’t ran here since I was eighteen. So when the
I looked at her lips, thinking how soft they looked and quickly looked up into her eyes. Her eyes were so blue. What did Alpha Osiris say before he stopped himself. He said “she had bled and kil.. for the pack.” He must mean kill. She fought alongside his Gamma. Who did Charlotte fight? Did she figh
Osiris’ pov “I think Beta Eros likes Charlotte,” Lily said as we went to bed. “Isn’t that what young boys used to do? Tease girls they like?” I replied. Lily laughed “yeah, although it doesn’t work at all and teaches girls the wrong message. But I don’t think he is treating Charlotte this way to
Jara had told me how Charlotte had ripped Gabriel’s heart out of his chest after he begged her to spare him. It couldn’t have been easy. She might have rejected him, but he was still her ex who she shared years with and he was still the father of her child. I walked towards her and took her hands i
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
