Lily's POV:I smiled as I watched my mate Blake and our twins Mason and Madison help me prepare dinner in our new home months after my poisoning by Mrs Smith...Our new home Blake had built us wasn't fancy as the mansion but it was big enough since we were expecting triplets in five months...it was a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom with a beautiful living room and kitchen connected to the dining area. It was perfect since I was already huge, looking like I was seven months pregnant.Blake never stopped telling me how beautiful I was during my daily routines as Luna of Blood Moon. I was back in full control as Luna while Mrs Smith was confined to the mansion with 2 servants serving her because Blake never wanted to face her nor could he banish her for sins because she was his mother and I had asked him to let her stay as I knew what it was like growing up without a mother...To be honest, I hated how things had turned out between mother and son, I secretly tried to mend their bond but Blake was
Lily's POV:I shook Blake vigorously but he didn't wake up.Fuck? Why was Blake not waking up?I turned my attention back to Brian and began to wonder how he got into our pack and house undetected. How did he find me? I felt a surge of fear and anger, mixed with a faint trace of pity wash over me. He looked worse than I remembered. His face was pale and gaunt, his eyes were sunken and bloodshot, and his once glorious hair was matted and greasy. He wore a ragged cloak that barely covered his thin frame. He looked like a walking corpse with a dark aura. But who was helping him? Because of this stunt he pulled, he couldn't have done it without a witch's help. "Won't you say anything to me about my new look?" Brian looked dangerous. He had a wicked grin on his face, and he held a silver dagger in his hand. He was staring at me with a twisted obsession as if I was the only thing he cared about in the world.I scoffed with a sour expression on my face. There was nothing attractive about
Blake's POV:Waking up the next morning after Brian's idiotic intrusion which cost him his life in my home over his useless fascination with my mate, I was in a good mood as I sat down at the breakfast table with my mate Lily and our friends Sue and my Beta Ryan who came to visit us after the ordeal.They had just informed us that they too were expecting hence we were celebrating their expanding family rather than thinking about that stupid son of a bitch Brian who thought he could win the second time by sneaking into my pack and get what he wanted… Scoffs…"Congratulations Ryan, have the mood swings begun yet?" I leaned into him and whispered so that Lily and Sue didn't hear my question that most pregnant women hated most.Ryan frowned slightly," Alpha are you saying she will have mood swings? " He asked in a low voice and I huffed a laugh."Yes, buddy, but it's the joys of fatherhood, " I smiled as I watched Lily serve me some pancakes and bacon, her eyes sparkling with love rather
Blake's POV:No, no, no…my Mother can't be dead… not now that we are not talking to each other."Mother, wake up," I shook her again as I felt a shock of disbelief and a pang of grief. I didn't want to believe it, I didn't want to accept it. But it was true, it was real. She was gone, and she wasn't coming back.I felt tears sting my eyes, and I choked on a sob. I placed my hands on her chest and began to perform CPR on her hoping she would come back to life. I pumped her heart"Mom, Mom, please wake up!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face. "Don't leave me, Mom! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! Talk to me, scold me for staying away from you for a long time…" I sniffed.Lily began sobbing behind me, unfolding the note Mother left in her hands. "Babe, she left a note," she notified me in a sorrowful tone and began reading it aloud, her voice trembling.***The note***Dear Blake,I'm sorry for what I've done. I know you hate me, and you have every right to because I tried to kill your mate,
Lily's POV;Mrs Smith was dead! I felt a slight pang of sorrow as I strolled to the gravesite, where the funeral of Alpha Blake's mother was being held. The air was thick with grief, and I could sense the pain of my mate, who was standing by the coffin, his face was expressionless and the packmates murmured discretely about their former Luna. It had been hours since the tragic incident where Mrs Smith committed suicide in her mansion because she couldn't take being an outcast for long… I admit, that she and I had spoken a few times since her banishment from the public eye about Blake giving her a second chance after what she had done to me, but she was skeptical and had zero patience for me to speak to Blake at the right time for his mercy towards her. Hence she ended her own life and only left a note to her son about how sorry she was… I secretly felt happy on her end. "I'm here for you, Blake. Always.." I reached out to him, to offer him some comfort...He only nodded and left
Blake's POV;I can't believe this is happening. How did I mess up so badly? How did I hurt the one person who meant everything to me?I stood outside the hospital room where my Luna, was admitted due to a slight accident she had at the pack house because I wasn't there to take care of her and our unborn pups like I had vowed to myself to do.What kind of a monster of a mate was I? During her first pregnancy, I was a jerk, and now, I'm still a douchebag… I beat myself mentally for what happened to Lily. When I saw her laying on the hospital bed holding back tears when she commanded me to leave her room, she looked pale and weak, and I could see the pain I had stupidly inflicted on her in her eyes.Fuck!!! Lily knew what had happened between Khloe and me hence what good was keeping more secrets between us when she was hurting?I sighed heavily as I tried to recall what exactly happened when I got so wasted at the bar last night.Yes I admit, it was a stupid mistake, a drunken night th
Lily's POV;'You need to keep anything stressful out of your mind, Luna Lily,' The doctor's words echoed repeatedly in the back of my mind as I sobbed after chasing Blake out of our matrimonial bedroom.'Your triplets are at risk if you allow yourself to be consumed by anger, resentment, or any negative emotions, the pups will die and so will you leaving your twins motherless.' More of the doctor's wary words rang in the back of my mind as I recalled staring at him in disbelief while I absorbed the weight of his words before I left the hospital. This was all Blake's fault and I hated him. I hated him with every fiber of my being.How could he do this to me? How could he betray me like this? He was my mate, my soulmate, the one who was supposed to love me unconditionally. But he didn't. He cheated on me with his red-haired slut, Khloe. And he didn't even have the decency to hide it from me. He flaunted it in front of me as if he wanted to hurt me on purpose.He didn't care about me.
Blake's POV;"I will grant you an easy divorce and allow you to keep the kids if this only you and I go on a week-long vacation to get your stress levels down," I suggested to Lily whose face remained emotionless … She didn't say anything for a few minutes as she scrutinized my absurd proposal I knew she wasn't going to like. I knew it was a long shot, but I had to try. I loved Lily more than anything in the world, and I couldn't bear the thought of losing her over my stupid night with Khloe that I couldn't even recall... Lily was my fared mate, my Luna, the mother of my children. And I had betrayed her trust.I wanted to make it up to her, to show her how much I loved her and how sorry I was. I wanted to win her back, to heal our bond, to be a family again…. That's why I came up with the idea of a vacation I would simply call an early babymoon. I thought maybe if we could spend some time alone, away from the pack and the drama, we could reconnect and rekindle our love. I thought
