So I was writing this all day and kept adding parts, but i didn't want to make two chaptes out of it. Hope you like it. Next chapter will be from Osiris' pov. I just wanted Ariel and Troy have some time together first.
Osiris’ pov After Troy told me everything, I went back to sleep. I was too tired to think, having spent the day working and being with the kids. Those first weeks were always the hardest. “And the cutest.” Santos said. “Now, who is the big softie. Asher and Kate have changed you just as much as t
“Ariel’s father was one of the doctors who performed the experiments in the bunker. His goal was to heal Ariel, doctors had said she only had a few years to live.” I paused, giving other’s the chance to speak. “Ariel told me about her heart problems and that it killed her fu-, freaking mother.” Cyr
I nudged Cyrus, I knew people felt at ease around him. “Hey Ariel. So this is fucking awkward huh? Let’s just start by saying I still mean my words. Even more now. I forgive you Ariel. I fucking forgive you and I am pretty sure my wife does too.” April smiled, “I hate what happened there, but I ha
Ariel’s pov “Why are you so surprised the pack wants you to stay?” My therapist Angela asked. “I am to blame and I don’t contribute anything to the pack. I am –“ Dr. Angela stopped me, “so I normally don’t interrupt. But in this case, I have to stop you. We’re almost finished with today’s session
“Thanks for thinking of inviting me Ariel! I have wanted a girl’s afternoon for a while, but Talia has been a bit busy with Zayn. I told Easton to spend some time with Kane or Cyrus, it’s good for him to have time with some friends too.” I smiled, “thank you for saying yes. I don’t really know what
Troy’s pov I went to the packhouse to pick Ariel up. I knew she wasn’t comfortable with me buying stuff for her, but she was my mate. I always envisioned spoiling my mate. Plus she deserved something nice. They were just clothes, I’d buy her the world if I could. Usually Ariel would wait for me ou
“Well at least she doesn’t has to guess how she makes you feel.” Orlando joked. “I know, I just don’t want to rush her into anything.” I replied. “Or are you taking things slow for different reasons? Are you nervous about taking the next step?” Orlando said. The truth was, I was still a virgin. N
Ariel’s pov After three deserts we went home. My belly was way too full, but it had tasted really good. Troy even fed me some of his, making the date all the more romantic. “You want to see my house?” Troy asked. The thought of going to his place made me kind of nervous, I wasn’t sure if I was re
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
