I was so deep in thought, I didn’t see Kate already fell asleep again, holding my hand in her tiny hands. “Being a mom is difficult sometimes, huh.” Arya said. “But you’re doing a great job. Both you and Osiris. They are loved and they are fed and happy.” Speaking off Osiris, we were kind of in th
Charlotte’s pov “Eddie, please. Just come with us.” I asked, hoping my brother would join us for Kate’s first birthday party. He already skipped going to the pack three weeks ago, when my dad went to see Samira. It’s like he’s suddenly becoming a teenager, one of those teenagers that hates everyth
Osiris’ pov “Could you do that thing you do? You know, that makes people talk?” Lily asked when we were getting ready to bed. “You mean torture them? I thought we stopped torturing people.” I replied. Lily started to laugh and put her hands over her forehead. “O my goddess. No Os. No.” She laug
“Is that why you’re so mad? Because we weren’t there for you? I thought you dad was doing better and Charlotte is there.” I said, feeling a bit guilty. Ward shook his head. “I am not mad. But it’s clear no one has any interest in my life or me.” “I care about you Eddie. Ward. Whatever you want to
Osiris’ pov One down, one to go. Apparently I did have a way of making people talk. Without torture. “Don’t make a habit out of it,” Santos joked. "I like it better when we do torture people. all this talking is boring." I took Edward towards the farm with Wolf. I needed to see Cyrus anyway, beca
Charlotte’s pov I had spoken with Lily about the whole thing, but I still felt sad. No amount of talking would get rid of this feeling of failure. If there was something wrong with me, I’d rather just know and then I could accept that another child wasn’t possible. But this limbo, where the doctors
Lily’s pov “Hey Eros, Mei!” I said surprised to see them. “I decided to surprise Charlotte,” Beta Eros said, reminding me how much I preferred him over Gabriel. “She is up stairs in her room. We are going to watch a movie. Mei, you want to join us?” Mei looked a bit nervous for some reason, but
Kate wasn’t allowed to eat sugar yet. Or was supposed to not eat sugar, but honestly I had given her something with sugar once or twice. But this would be the first time I would let her go crazy. I wondered if she would eat the cake carefully or if she would go crazy. We all drove to the farm toget
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
