Lilith’s POVAbyss warns me this time as she thrusts me inside the memory of Leo. I watch and listen avidly at his inner musings of becoming beta and it does not slip my notice that Lucas was less than frosty about the situation.~~~I appreciate Theo's gesture and I gladly accept being of some importance whilst under his rule but I'm not sure his beta, Lucas is too happy.His hostility is palpable even before he barges in the room and his eyes dart to me immediately.He voices his protest but Theo pushing him down and demands his obedience and luckily for me Lucas knows his place.But he doesn't leave the office without mind linking me with his opinion.'You are nothing in this pack. I will not follow any demand you lay down. And I'll have you out before you can blink,' he tells me.I pretend I didn't hear him and refuse to stoop his level but even so he forces a connection when I break the first.But I break the second and third connections too before he gets the gist that I won't
Lilith’s POVBlackness dare to try to consume me again, sheer tiredness working throughout me yet Abyss demands I stay with her, begging me to watch and listen.So I fight the urge to succumb to to my body’s desire by watching the memory she thrust upon me.It’s Khai, he’s on a field… with the warriors. His mind musing over training~~~I've been running with the warriors for hours.Training every second of the day I'm not with Lilith and Lora.The gym, the outdoor course and running alongside one another.They've well and truly accepted me into the their mimi pack, of sorts.Even Lucas is less bristly towards me, but then again he has a new victim in his sights. His jealousy transferring from me to Leo because Leo is threat to his title as beta.I don't think Theo would ever rid his childhood friend as beta, not unless something turned up to push his hand.Theo loves Lucas like a brother.Well and truly loves him.And that makes me jealous.Not that I know why, it shouldn't.But it's
Lilith’s POVThings morph once again, the images swirling into one of blackness. Only to realign in Theo’s mind and one of his memories.~~~ I decided to help some of the warriors decorate Leo and Tabby's house.Setting foot inside it this morning had me feelings more emotions than I'd like.It's as if I could feel my mother here. But it looks nothing as I presumed.It's gutted with nothing inside.The walls are a stark shade of white ready for the grey paint that Leo and Tabby have chosen.The floors are bare wood upstairs and cement downstairs ready for the wooden flooring they, too, have chosen.There's seven of us painting the house throughout.Minus the bathrooms as they are tiled.I start on the laundry room, painting the three walls with the roller.They have chosen one colour throughout the house.The grey deep enough to give of a lilac hue.It's pretty but boring, not something I would have chosen.But this isn't my house and I appreciate Tabby's need for monotony.Khai chos
Lilith's POVI let the memory play out, recalling every detail of that evening as my eyes opened to our dark bedroom, the sun setting outside and the room quiet and serene.But Lora's little sniffles sound from downstairs.I can here her moving through the house, obviously with Khai or Theo.It seems I've slept the whole day away and I instantly feel guilty.I had things to do today, I was supposed to take Lora for a small walk, to show her my favourite parts of the pack.I had planned to meet with Theseus to learn some more of my abilities. To expand and explore them.I was also supposed to make Theo and Khai dinner.But I've done none of that."Lil?" Theo calls me as the bedroom door opens.He walks inside with Lora, cradling her close as he brings her to me.I watch them walk inside, marvelling at seeing Theo seem so domestic with Lora.He's taken to fatherhood so well, instantly knowing what to do and how to be with Lora.He's loving and attentive and despite being busy most of th
Lilith's POVAfter shifting on the decking we race through the woods towards the waterfall like our arses are on fire and we have nowhere better to be.Abyss reluctantly shifts when we surface just the other side of the waterfall.This little cave has vastly become my very favourite place here in Theo's pack.It's private and we can hide from the world, pretending everything is fine whilst enjoying each others company.And that's what we do, with the dinner Lucas had previously brought out here.It's delicious, duck in a cherry style sauce with little roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables.I lap it up, more than hungry from doing absolutely nothing today and so does Theo.The silence isn't awkward, in fact it's serene. The two of us sitting wrapped in blankets whilst we we stuff our faces.And I finish before Theo, high brings a deep red stain to my cheeks."How are you finding being a mother?" He asks me out of the blueC taking me off guard with his question.A deep part of my brai
Lilith's POVAlamodome time, Lil. But let’s look at the weeks after, she asks me….Weeks pass by in a blur of happy bubble.Theo, Khai and I spend as much time as possible together but in our own time we get things done.I've finally been able to take over some duties within the pack.It's my duty to ensure the pack has ample medical equipment.My duty to ensure pack runs, alpha meetings, balls etc are obliged.Though each of those pose a risk with Lora.The pack have met her now, I take her everywhere eight me within the pack unless I go anywhere near the borders.Angela brought me a handy carrier and she's attached to me with that, constantly cuddling me as I meet people and build a relationship with them.Each and every wolf in Theo's pack are accepting and loving towards the pair of us, which surprises me.I had never imagined my life could be this way, that I'd have a pack to call my own and especially not standing at the head of that pack as a leader.My abilities are coming to
Lillith’s POVOnce again my mind morphs and my internal misomg align with Theo’s…Tabby claims of a intrusion coming out way.And short vision that alerted her to the fact that witches are coming for her.Not witches she knows, either.I've hidden them below the house, getting Khai to lock them down there which was an argument in itself.He's scared to be locked down there, his anxiety triggering my own but I need to ensure each of their safety.Specifically Lilith and Lora.I round up my men, Lucas and Andy and we head out to the place Tabby had informed me of.Right on the northern borders by the largest pine tree that doesn't belong.That's where they will materialise.We get to the spot with minutes to spare and that's when Lucas takes the opportunity to roast Leo.I hate the fact he's chosen to do so when Leo isn't here to defend himself but I think that was the gist."What a great beta, locking himself down in the panic room to hide away from the action," he spits out with such
Lilith’s POVAbyss, I’m not sure how much more I can take of this, I reveal as my head spins and I feel as if I might vomit.My mind reels as Abyss whines in annoyance.We must continue… Lil. She tells me as she thrusts me inside another memory of Khai.And I can feel him, there’s no doubt about it in my mind. My hand burning as he holds me… My mind allowing his memory of that day to take me.It feels as if I'm sealing my own fate when I use my hand to lock the panic room.Never, would I ever have thought that I would willing lock myself in a building even if the amenities were of luxury and my stay would be a happy one.There's lounge big enough to be a communal room. Kitchen large enough to put the one in the pack house above to shame and bedrooms with enough room for eight in each split over three levels below the the house above.This is more than a panic room, more so being a state of the art hotel below ground that just so happens to be very safe to reside in but even so, I jus
