Lilith's POVI feel my heart race as the memory continues. My chest feel tight as the images roll on.I scream in fright as I watch Rex lunge for the bear that's easily just as big as him.It's dark brown, its paws are enormous, and it's aggressive.And what's worse is it couldn't have chosen a worse time to attack than right now.My stomach contracts with pain every few minutes, and the skin tightens. My stomach became hard as my breaths caught in the back of my throat with the slight pain felt at the base of my tummy.Khai holds onto me, the basket in his hands forgotten as it falls to the floor at our feet.I'm not sure why but seeing the basket down there, abhors me.There's something about the basket. So I bend to grab it. Holding onto it with one hand as Khai puts my back to a tree trunk and his back to me.Both of his hands come back to cage me behind him, using himself to shield me away from danger.Snarls, snapping teeth, and two types of growls wound in front of me, and I li
Lilith’s POVKhai fear through experience from Calley that I would use my reserves and ultimately ending my protective qualities far to prematurely that night.He assessed the situation.Finding three bears, all at least double Rex's size.Double his weight and no doubt capable of killing him if so willing.But he couldn’t let that happen, he cannot see our mate... our... my other mate die.He knew it would crush me, send me spiralling into a frenzy of angry need for revenge as I mourned the instant loss of Theo and Rex from our closely bonded mate bond.That's the ugly truth of a true mate bond. The ability to feel the loss, the happiness, even the pain of someone you love so dearly.Someone that Celeste all but forced upon us, because that's what I have now realised is the case.All this time she's been picking and choosing the wolves and humans and even the mates too. Never once thinking about the opportunity for people to chose on their own.He understood her logic, the need to kn
Lilith's POVI watch as my head hits the tree with a thud and crack, pain migrating down my spine as a vision takes me."Wait, wait for me" it's the annual mating run but I still haven't been able to coax my wolf Abyss to shift. She says the time isn't right, that I'm not whole. I need to be whole. She speaks in riddles most of the time and it leaves me confused all of the time.No one else seems to struggle to shift after their thirteenth birthday, but for me the doctor says it's to do with my head injury that I might never be able to shift now and I don't know how I feel about that.You'll shift when you are complete.I'm running along behind my best friends Calley and Arlo they are twins and the betas siblings. They too live in the pack house because unfortunately their parents were killed in a rogue attack a few years back leaving the three of them orphans but Theo's taken to looking after them and me.Arlo skids alongside me having morphed into his wolf Jaxon, he bends his he
Lilith's POVThat day is fresh in my mind, the birth of Lora ingrained in me like no other memory before…I drop my hold on Rex and Obsidian as my hands come to cradle my stomach.Yet another wave of agonising pain takes hold of me, and my little girl isn't happy.Her aura is scared, anxious and sad, and I think mine is starting to mimic hers, and what's worse is Theseus must feel that. His eyes are wide like saucers as he takes in the scene before him.And Celeste snaps my attention from him to her. She's standing in the upstairs window watching as if he isn't surprised as if she saw this coming from a mile away.Theo's the first to shift, not caring about his nakedness as he scoops me up from where I am standing on the floor.He rushes towards the house and demands for a doctor as he goes.Khai shift almost immediately after him, cupping his cock as he, too, follows behind."We need a doctor, towels. Whatever you need when you give birth," Theo demands in his aloha aura. The need to
Lilith's POVThose moments after Lora’s birth revisit my mind, despite Abyss trying to steer me away.But we don’t need to remember this… she states.But my memories are far more cemented that her need to show me important things and my mind travels to those feelings in the aftermath of my first birth.~~~I'm absolutely exhausted, my body feeling like a ten-ton truck has run it over.My legs ache, my back aches, even my shoulders, and they did nothing as I pushed out my child, my little girl who looks the perfect mix of both her fathers.That's the thing I wondered about most.This child has three DNAs running through her little body. How does the genetic makeup work in that case?It's obvious to see how that she took after her fathers rather than me, though maybe she will change as she grows.She has a head full of brown hair, chubby cheeks and a slim and slender body.She hadn't opened her eyes before Dr Knight had taken her, but I'm sure she will have one of their eyes too.Will t
Lilith’s POVI’m remembering those first time emotions, the struggling with breastfeeding, the skin to skin cuddles that made me feel complete.But images morph, blackness taking my vision as Abyss mutters angrily to me.No, no you need to see important things, not things your can look back on in your own time, she tells me.I grumble, unhappy that images flit to my mind per her request.And at first I do not take notice of what I’m seeing, what I’m hearing.But then my mind wonders when I started thinking egotistically, why I feel like I’m of importance.It’s then I realise this isn’t my memory at all, but of Zeus and that’s only because the beautiful goddess I’m peering at calls me, Zeus.It’s as if I’m seeing the memory through his eyes, and it’s intriguing.~~~Life often passes by with the same old routine.I am God, and in turn for being that I get what I want when I want, and I'm not ashamed of that.There's something about being the person everyone worships. The one they turn
Lilith's POVThat was uncalled for Abyss, I needn’t have seen that…Okay, okay… maybe I could have skipped the whole meeting but don’t you see. He wants you, Lil. Want you how he had them. Now think back, remember that day he came to Celeste’s home. The day he sent his gaurd, sent them for you, she says.So I do, I sift through my own memories as she passes the reigns over.And I find it very easy to push through the memories and wade in on one.Honing in on that day I watch the past me.~~~Our night is full of disturbed sleep, Lora waking every few hours with a soft cry to let us, mainly me, know she's ready for more food.I hadn't thought much outside of the pregnancy but now I'm faced with a sleepless first night and breastfeeding my child.She's beautiful, breathtakingly gorgeous and she's mine.When I was a child, or even up until recently I never fathomed that I might become a mum.It wasn't in my mindset. Finding Theo wasn't either.I was sure that I would live a long and pain
Lilith’s POVAbyss changes the images once again as the next morning filters through my mind.See things how Theo saw them back then, she demands.My thoughts morph and I feel a sense of belonging, and a sense of sadness. I hadn’t noted how much I missed Theo but now that I’m remembering that day as him my feelings become apparent.No, Lil, concentrate on his memory, Abyss demands.~~~I note the warriors outside as I stare out of the bedroom window. After getting dressed for the day. Six men that put any of mine to shame, put any of our kinds to shame. They must all stand above seven foot. They've hardly anything on and their bodies are pack with muscle showing their strength and ability. They've not moved an inch, standing with weird spears that look as if they could cut someone within an instant for the last twenty minutes.They were not here last night, nor any other night we've stayed here.This is new and there must be a reason behind their appearance.Sending men to guard a
