I was one of the first to arrive and was greeted by a smiling Cyrus. “Hey Osiris, you fucking ready for some fun?” April came out to greet me and then turned to Cyrus, “remember Cy. Prisha is coming over and we’re doing each other nails and she’s making face masks and hair mask, so don’t bother me
Osiris’ pov Mia offered to watch Kate, so Lily and I could see the midwife during school hours. We didn’t tell the kids yet, we wanted to be sure. Well, Lily wanted to be sure. I didn’t know why she felt like something was wrong or why it didn’t feel real to her. “Maybe because you didn’t plan thi
Lily’s pov I saw dr. Angela a few times and it helped. But what helped most was time. I really was happy with my life and Asher and Kate kept me really busy. Life went on and eventually so did I. Osiris was dealing with things in his own way, but we would go to our tree together and talk about it.
Osiris’ pov “I want to talk to you about it first, because it might cause some issues amongst my daughters.” Alpha Edward sounded nervous on the phone. “I can come by the pack. Can I bring the kids, they have been asking to see their cousins.” I replied. “I’d love to see them. I’ll tell Charlotte
Lily’s pov “Please tell me, Os. Please.” I pouted. “I promised your dad. You’ll find out tomorrow.” “No, Os. I can’t wait. I have waited a month, tried to be patient. But I need to know who my dad is dating.” I replied. Osiris laughed, “my love. Patience.” I started kissing Osiris’ neck, right
Osiris’ pov Now that the sisters and Eddie finally met Nora and they were okay with it, I could plan a run with Riker and Cyrus. Asher was big enough to hold onto me now. He was almost eight and already as tall as Lily. We’ve been training together and he is really strong and fast. “He’s going to
Osiris’ pov Ever since that first time, we’ve been running with the kids often. Sometimes Lily and Mia join and we take all the kids with us. Something it’s just the girls and moms that run together, but often it’s me, Ash, Riker and Sierra. The current Alpha and Beta and the future Alpha and Beta.
“It is, isn’t it? I am glad I choose you.” I replied. “Are you getting sentimental again? Is Lily pregnant again?” Riker joked. “No, although we have been talking about it.” “You want a whole football team don’t you?” Riker laughed. “If they’re anything like Kate and Asher, then the more the mer
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
