Lilith's POVZeus had kept to his word, taking me home before the sun had risen in the sky.It was still pitch black outside, besides the shine of the moon which was high in the sky, yet it felt right to be standing out here within the darkness as if the moon called to me in need.Zeus had teleported us away from the top of the mountainside, which had mildly triggered me off.Why make me walk so far if he could have just teleported me there before?I walked through the yard and into the house and then climbed the stairs.I felt less restless but tired nevertheless, so I climbed the stairs and rounded the corner to slip inside the room, where I found Khai and Theo sleeping exactly where I had left them a few hours before.So I dropped the dressing gown before I climbed between them, letting their scent calm my nerves and finally allowing sleep to consume me.I had awoken to the sound of my own heartbeat racing in my ears as I woke from another frightful dream where I was forcing the pe
Lilith's POVI remember in the following days Khai and Theo had acted strange as I felt overly pregnant and round.But specifically a few days later they entered the yard with a basket and two identical smiles on their faces as they walked up to me as I sat on the swing in Celeste’s yard. Both of them pecked either side of my cheek before announcing we were going for a hike.To say I was surprised would have been an understatement.I was the size of a whale and would probably roll better than walk, and I was tired from all my extracurricular activities that very morning, but who was I to refuse spending time with the pair of them?As we walked, Theo describes a purple-covered meadow that Celeste suggested for us to visit. It sounds whimsical and inviting, and it gave me that pep in my step that I hadn't had when we left the yard and dreaded walking anywhere. So we walked hand in hand as the trees covered us, the sun beaming high above and filtering through the foliage of the trees
Lilith’s POVCeleste was correct, the little meadow was something to behold, and I'm glad we were able to see the beauty this realm and world up here had to offer.If the sunrise and sunset weren't something to fall in love with, this meadow was.It was beautiful here; there's no question about that.The three of us spend quality time with one another, lying on the blanket Celeste supplied Theo with and we found ourselves talking about the future, of what our life might look like. Of our ideas about Lora and who she might be, of her room back home and how we want to raise her. Throughout our talk we cuddle, and then we sit up to eat, enjoying each other company. I remember it so vividly.The food was delicious. Fresh fruit, chopped vegetables and sandwiches with slices of cake to top that all off.So we filled ourselves with her food once again and then we sat staring at all of the oddly placed wisteria trees."How unusual for there to only be wisteria in this one meadow," Khai not
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
