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
Lilith's POVDespite fighting the pull to Khai my mind abandons him as it shows me my own version of the followings days…When I wake I'm sandwiched between Khai and Theo and Lora's already feeding from my breast.Her long body draped over my chest and stomach.Both Khai and Theo are sleeping besides me. Facing one another in this strange bed below the house.I wish they had woken me instead of leaving me here in this bed underneath the house in a place that resembles a prison much like the one Damian used to keep me in for weeks on end.But they hadn't I guess they wanted me to sleep.I guess there's no harm in sleeping here, the four of us seem content, and Lora sleeping whilst eating is a testament that.I stare down at her for a long moment, wondering if I moved whether I would disturb not only her but Theo and Khai in one fell swoop.I guess I would, so I don't move an inch, laying my head back on the pillow so I can stare up at the stark white ceiling above me.The lights around
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
