Lilith's POVAs the days passed there was a strange ambience in the pack house.Things seemed dull and sad yet excitable and happy in the same instance.And I think I know what it is, why I feel this way.It's to do with Leo and Tabby, I'm sure of it.The pair of them are finally moving into the house Theo gave them. All renovations now finished and the brick and mortar ready for them to make it into a home.A place they can birth their child and bring him up. Hopefully nurture him into someone that can love Lora with everything he has.And with that love I'm hoping that he will give her a different future to the one she's destined for.Of course I cannot force her. I cannot make her chose him.But I'm hoping that having someone of the same age that will love her unconditionally will give her options.Of course I think that things happen for a reason and I believe Leo and Tabby were forced into our pack under our rule for a reason.The reason being we needed their son around for Lora
Lilith’s POVThings goes quiet and for a moment I think I’ve lost Abyss. The pain amounts so great between us that I presume shes broken away and returned to Celeste to leave me in this solid silence.But then she surfaces, dragging in a breath before talking to me once more.I’m still here, Lil, she tells me.And so with my acknowledgment she move on, showing me another thing she deems important.This time we watch a memory from Tabitha’s of the day she birthed my daughters second mate. The mate I chose for her. Little baby Arlo…It’s weird as step inside her mind, hearing things from her point of view but that’s exactly what happened s and I listen and watch avidly. ~~~I hate to admit it but driving away from the pack house down the short one one road that will take up to the house hidden within the tree coverage has me expelling every ounce of anxiety held within my body.I hate that I'm not particularly thrilled to have been living in their home, especially because they've given
Lilith’s POVDeplete not needing to, I press my mind to see Tabitha’s birth, searching her and Leo’s memory’s to experience the day my daughters life changed.The images do not come easily, but I drag them through my mind nevertheless, taking Leo’s memory and playing it out in my mind as I watch silently…I walk back into the room to her knuckles white as snow.She's hiding pain from me again and the only pain that would make sense is labour pains.She's been in a quiet mood since this morning, having not spoken much as we left and her excitement to be in our own home again has been lacking.But I know confronting her will only cause he anxiety so I pretend I haven't see anything, and instead being the bag of clothes I had chosen in Theo's small town of shops the other day."What's this?" She asks."Clothes I chose for Arlo, some small onesies and outfits," I tell her.She breaks her cold exterior for only a moment as she pours the contents of clothes inside the cot.She segregated th
Lilith’s POVWe needn’t be watching this, it isn’t relevant, Lil. Abyss complains. Yet I don’t listen to her, searching for Tabitha’s memory of this day. The incessant need to watch and feel that day form her point of view. The day my hard work came to fruition…Her labour progresses quickly, a bath relaxing her muscles enough for her body to charge forward with its endeavour to rid my son from the safety of my womb…Now that Leo knows I'm in labour I don't hold back on the guttural moans that surface in my throat.With each passing contraction my legs spread, hooking my right leg over the edge of the bath for purchase.I cannot help but let tears run down the side of my face and despite being inside water already I feel the pop of my waters.It comes after a particularly painful and harsh contraction. My stomach hard as rock, my breath caught into my throat and the burst happens audibly.At least to my ears it does and the bath fills with murky water from inside of me.The contracti
Lilith’s POVWhile consuming pain reverberates through my body and out my soul. Abyss is leaving me and there’s no doubt about that.At first things become eerily silent as the pain consumes every part of me. Then the screaming, my screaming, filters through my ears.I feel Abyss slip from me, her small and feeble yelp announcing the detach of our souls.And then she’s standing there before me, her fur swaying as she shakes it out and I feel sick.“Abyss?” I ask, looking toward my wolf that’s just parted ways with me.She howls, her voice coming out of her snout as nothing more than animal jargon and then she walks uk to me. Her eyes sad and tear filled as she presents me with her head.We’re eye to eye, she’s as tall as me and though she an overbearingly large wolf, I have no fear.“We can’t speak any longer,” I state, realising that I wasted the last of our time together greedily searching the birth of Tabitha’s son rather than listening to the wide words of my wolf. Abyss shakes h
Theo's POVLilith’s been out of it for more than a week, her temperature soaring as her body lays limp, white and sweaty.Yet despite her illness, her mind has not rested.Any moment I touch her I see the things she’s seeing, her mind obviously going back throughout the time she’s spent here with me in my pack.At first I thought it was her dreaming, that she was randomly recalling these things but I noticed a pattern to them a few days after she fell into her sleep like state.For example, right now she’s recalling that very night Khai pledged to me.~~~The connection is instant, waking me from the slumber we had fallen into after having sex this afternoon.Lilith is lying on my chest, her eyes closed and breathing even.And Khai is sitting against the window on the bench as he looks out across the yard.'What is it?' I ask.'I'm ready,' he tells me whilst staring over at me.His eyes are so sincere that they break my heart.'For?' I ask because he could be ready for anything. Ther
Lilith's POVFor a long moment I stand unsure of what to do with myself as I watch Celeste disappear with Abyss. My heart constricting in a painful way as I watch my other half leave me.I don’t u set stand why this is my reality, why Celeste would have given me a wolf only to take her back when the time was convenient for her.And in my sorrow I remain in the starkness of being along where ever here is.It feels almost as if days have passed, yet my mind concentrates only on the unfamiliar place around me.I’m lonely, alone.Where am I?How do I get home from here?I feel abandoned yet there’s no one around to keep me company or guide me through memories. It’s after a long bout of thinking, the thought that Abyss had been showing me important things I had missed that I reach out to go back into memory lane.But I’m unsuccessful? Pulling at memories only for them to snap away from me as if I haven’t the permission to go back to them.Falling to the floor I cry into my knees begging A
Theo's POVLil remains stable over night yet I can’t sleep, I’m troubled by what she’s recalling and I’ve found myself urgently researching if there is meaning behind why she’s seeing these things.It hadn’t slipped my conscience that we believe we are inordinate, that our tripper pairing is something more than one would expect.But I find nothing and I’m exasperated.So I go back to bed, willing myself not to touch Lil, not to see what she is seeing.But I’m unsuccessful… the events of the past plaguing not only her but me now.~~~The packs emotions are all over the place today.And not only am I struggling with dividing myself from those emotions but I'm also struggling not to act impulsively on Khai's.He's terribly uncomfortable, his emotions frayed to say the least and there's nothing I can do about it.As it is, I've found myself travelling to the training friend to watch from afar.At first I don't particularly see what Khai's problem is.They are all training as they should b
