~Lily~ I didn’t need any alarm to wake me earlier today. It was already a planned day way before I woke up. If I was going to get breakfast with Molly then we were going to get it early. I got up and set, thankfully I didn’t get to see images in my dream that would drive sleep away from my eyes. It was dark and void with a tiny girl's voice weeping. Wasn’t my first time having such dreams, it’s always the same way and exact actions repeating themselves whenever I have it. It wasn’t disturbing like it used to be again and only comes at very few nights. We had time to beat, so I hurried downstairs after texting Molly to meet me outside. We couldn’t allow our mistakes to repeat itself again and spend way longer because I decided to go meet her first in her room. “Had something to eat yet? Or you want more?” Her eyes lit up with raised eyebrows as she asked her questions. Of course she was messing with me, making fun of what happened last to us. A very clear
~Lily~ With his voice completely silenced in my head, I expected the next thing to take place. Training started almost immediately and I could make a good guess that it wasn’t time yet. We got busy with Nova and Molly standing each beside my side. It got a little heated up and while we focused on the moves we were to master, Kade moved around. Watching everyone but I could see his eyes specifically on us as he looked with keen eyes with a list in hand. Today was surely serious and knowing it was exactly what I wanted since they had something big to prepare for. Now I only wished I hadn’t talked about it and stood up to Jaden about it. I mean I got to know that he wasn’t sleeping the training out but was only buying time he was giving out for relaxation. Now I really wished I didn’t call him on it. Everyone looked so serious with Kade passing every trip group or anyone at all, they became more serious, adding more agility like they were trying to impress h
~Lily~ “If only you can mute your actions the same way you are right now then I’m guessing you’ll have few visits from me.” She became a lot bold, whining and uttering more annoying words. With Molly and Nova’s eyes darting to me almost every minute like they were asking for permission to reply to her. I snapped them out of it, telling them it was fine and we could tell them what we were doing. “Ohh I can see their eyes pleading and wanting to help you. Why won’t you let them?” “Let them help you Lily.. it’s not like you could ever do anything all by yourself. You need someone to stand up for you, you need a pretend family to make you feel alright?” Her words became sharp and edgy and I sw**r to the heavens that I was doing my very best to hold still and not react to her. She was pushing me over the cliff and the only thing holding me back was the thought that silence was the best answer for a fool. She kept on rambling and mumbling words that
~Jaden~ “Hands off Lily”. I uttered calmly, letting the order resound clearly to her so she could let go. Her eyes were pitched black, she was at the verge of shifting and soft talking wouldn’t work on her right now. “Ouch it hurts real bad. Please stop! I’m sorry.” Her whining was a nuisance to my hearing as I wanted everything but to shut her up. My eyes remained on Lily, waiting for her claws to go off. ‘Take it off while I’m still asking nicely. I mindlinked her purposely so the others wouldn’t hear. ‘You call that nicely? Just tell her to stay away from me.’ Her voice was laced with bitterness as she growled out those words, forgetting who she was talking with. I’ve never asked twice and never this calmly and softly. Another wall that was slightly pulled down as I waited until her hands went off and Brittany scurried over to where I was. “I’m so sorry Alpha, I only just wanted to stand close to her and didn’t know she wouldn’t like it.”
~Jaden~ I wasn’t bothered and didn’t care again when his hands held on to her and he didn’t seem like he cared if anyone was against. Their faces were all focused on Lily so they didn’t notice the furious look I was giving Nova. “You are both getting punished so follow me and everyone else back to work now!” I uttered with my eyes still focused on that hand holding my mate. He’s f**king holding my mate! The realisation of my outburst wasn’t my concern right now. At this instant she’s mine and I don’t want his hands on her. He finally turns to look for me. I didn’t look up, my gaze pressing tightly on the hand holding Lily. Passing my message without having to say anything but his hands didn’t go off immediately. With my stern orders the rest quickly went back to what they were doing, leaving just me with Brittany still crying in my arms with her small figure. And Lily with her two minions beside her. After waiting for up to a minute and he still
~Lily~ I let the anger seethe through me as I watch her rest up against me. I wasn’t mad or angry, or rather I was choosing not to be as I watched her with a menacing look as I felt something crawl up my skin as she stayed there on his body. “You should tell him the truth” Molly whispered to me as Nova leaned in to hold me like he was trying to keep me calm, feeling the raging storm within me. What exactly do I tell him? That Brittany thinks there’s something going on between both of us when we were supposed siblings? It was crazy and yes I should find my way quickly out of this and not allow him to take advantage of this to crush me again. It was all so annoying, with Molly acting real strange and not herself, with Nova showing that he cares by holding me still from lunging forward and my head still trying to wrap around the fact I shouldn’t be bothered with the image before me. I only sincerely wanted real pain to come out of her, so maybe it won’t be so bad
~ Brittany~ His eyes, his body, everything about him. I was resting my body against him and the thought that he didn’t push me off gave him a lot of confidence that It gave me more hope. He was standing with me but I could feel it in the depth of me that he still wasn’t caring. I’ve literally done everything to get his attention and yet he still has never reciprocated it. I couldn’t let anything get in the way, not even his slimsy fake sister who was never an issue before but now is the biggest issue stopping me from having him. I wasn’t going to act desperate, I didn't plan on lying to get him to notice me. Was a done deal when I got to admire my future alpha from afar. When all I had to do was just to fawn over him and let my imagination run wild. I always let it run completely wild as I was so sure I was his mate. The crush only grew stronger after so many years and he still hadn’t found his mate. I wanted to believe it was a way the moon goddess confirme
~Jaden~ “Hmm boss I came with the reports” Kade was being careful. I knew all too well why he was here and hiding behind the report thing had just got to be the worst disguise ever. “Listening..” I turned to finally face after sitting backwards for hours now. Today didn’t start all too well and in the middle of it I was pushed to the very edge and was only held back after the idea of the punishment came in. I was having the best moment and I wasn’t concerned about anything that instant. I didn’t care if I should be hating Lily for what her parents did. There was no trauma, no different faces hovering and wanting to switch images with hers. She was the only one in front of me and the only thing that resounded clearly was the fact that she was mine and was damn beautiful. “Luckily for us we don’t have a long list to tend to after today.” His comments went off slowly as he brought out the paper he had in his pocket and began to go through them. “Then
~Alpha Asher~ “They are prepared and ready?” This was a one time thing and we could not let anything go wrong about it. “Yes alpha, I just heard back from Kade and they should be here on their way tomorrow. “Nothing should go wrong about this plan or we’ll never be able to find out who the real culprit is.” The worry etched on my face wa becoming a normal due to stress, deprivation and lord more. This was a serious issue on ground and even as it looked actually like nothing, it was slowly eating his way to the heart of werewolves race. It was a great threat and easy means to curb it was never going to be an option right now. “You still think someone among us is the culprit?” Ross asked, real worried as he still found a bit hard to believe. “Even as hard as it may seem to believe, it’s the outright truth and I know it so well.” I gave him my quick reply as we decided not to talk about it anywhere here as apparently in a war ground, the walls
~Lily~ The image of last night's ordeal came flashing mad somehow I could feel my cheeks heat up with pink hues. I woke up and was just staring at him. It took a while to get out of his arms that he wrapped all around me and then without thinking it through I turned to face him. I was flooded with different kinds of emotions that I couldn’t put a name on it. The only thing that made sense right now was to stay right there and stare straight at his face. He was officially my first in everything that he’s done in days. I wasn’t too knowledgeable in these things but I wasn’t at ignorant to know that he made me c*m several times last night that I lost count. And with every strength that I had gone, I fell into his arms as I continued moving with so much vigour like he couldn’t get enough. I could still feel his breath on my neck, when his hands finally made contacts with my br**sts. The pinching, the squeezing and oh my, my head was already spinning a
~Lily~ It was becoming a simple reality as I stood in his room with my back facing the door. I tried real quick to catch my breath as the images were looking very vivid. It was dark in here and yes I did notice that the paintings were nowhere in his room when I was here earlier. That was the very least of my problems as I was head on facing the bed, rethinking what I just did. “Good thing, I like the light out too.” I could hear him utter very clearly in his light hearted tone. His voice resounded like a calm river, with its currently but more like it was currently at sleep for a while. Wait? Please tell me I didn’t just tell him I sleep with the light on. ‘Oh yes you did. And you said it so boldly like you were ready for anything tonight.” Raya spoke out not so calmly as I could see that I wasn’t the only fidgeting right now. I wanted anyone to tell me just know that I didn’t indirectly tell him I was cool with whatever would happen tonight. “D
~Lily~ “Did you have a nice sleep or are you still busy with my mom?” His voice swept in like he’d been waiting for ages. I didn’t reply immediately as his voice was the first thing I heard after sleeping for only god knows how long. And the mention of how he personalised his mom strangely sounded not so annoying like it always used to be. “Should go on helping her again soon enough.” My reply came like it wasn’t an issue talking to him in my head. Like I never used to have issues with him hanging in there in my head without permission. “Ohh really? You mind telling me all about this help that only you can offer, or can Kade come lend a helping hand?” He sounded so aware of everything being a complete facade. And with the sound of things, he just wanted to flow along. I took a second to really wrap my head around it as the fact that it was me having a conversation with Jaden through the mindlink and there have been no shouting and disagreement. “
~Lily~ I didn’t let the reminder that it's soon going to be my birthday get to me for long in my head as it drove different signals to me. I was supposed to be up and ready to leave according to what i had planned with Raya. Nothing was eventually stopping me and this was entirely what I was looking forward to but suddenly the urge to run away was slowly fading away. Like I could literally feel it and I’ll be deceiving myself if I said that was exactly what I wanted right now. Hate? Yes I still hate him and I also still wanted to find out why I could feel his sincerity through those words he uttered to me. You can pretend and fake sincerity but you can never fake it so badly that the other person listening doesn’t feel it to know if you are lying or not. “Oh my, thank goodness you are fine.” Her voice brought me completely out of it as I stared into complete emptiness. I must have stayed still for so long, thinking and drowning myself that I didn’t real
~Lily~ “Are you okay baby?” My mom didn’t waste time and went all out with examining my body and her eyes showing too much concern right now like she just saved me from the lion's den. “I’m fine mom, why are you so worked up?” I found myself asking after removing the hand I placed aimlessly on my forehead, that depicted my lack of understanding what was going on. I wanted to go on and ask all the questions in my head but I held back and swallowed all the words at the tip of my tongue, knowing I should be grateful right now that I got out. “Definitely not what I heard so I have to double check.” She didn’t agree with me and still continued. She changed tactics this time around, making it seem all funny and held back my laughter, trying to link one and two together. “Molly got to you?” I asked the question without even thinking twice about it. I already even concluded that it got to be that or nothing else. And while her actions were funny to me, holding back was gettin
~Kade~ “I just need to speak to him for a minute, it’s very important.” She kept on begging and pleading with her eyes as she didn’t dare go all touchy with me. “He’s busy. If it’s so important you can relate it to me and then I’ll surely let him know.” I faced with all seriousness so she could back off. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me anything before knowing that she was outright lying to my face and making up excuses just to meet Jaden. I guess keen eyes can be awarded to me after walking in the shadow of Jaden and watching his back. I knew everyone that had potentials of being a pest and had to keep details and tabs on them just in case. “I can’t tell it to you, I need to pass this on myself.” She said still speaking so softly that it was irritating to listen to her speak. I’m not sure it was her voice that was making me lose my patience. It had to be the very fact that I still remembered clearly what she had done to my future Luna. Yes
~Lily~ This was all looking extremely far from all the tricks we went round with or used to go round with. Now it was looking so scary and trying to put up a face or pretend my way through this wasn’t what I wanted to do. It was meant to be the end point as I opened my mouth and spilled all that I should, securing myself from whatever he had planned. He went calm, his eyes lowered, staring and holding mine in place. It wasn’t too surprising anymore since it had become a norm for days now. The words he spoke next also kept me quiet as I listened with utmost interest since it all revolved around me. He explained himself, saying things I thought I’ll never hear him ever say. ‘The almighty Jaden was apologising to us?’ I asked Raya as we found it so unbelievable but that thing in the depth of us could witness with him that he was being sincere. You could sense and see it with the way his eyes moved and looked so soft and gentle even they gazed directly at
~Jaden~ “Do you need anything?” I asked her, watching closely as I managed to make her sit on my bed with my different sets of portraits pushed to one side of the room. I didn’t really think about what to do aside from sticking my hands all over her body and places where she’ll definitely not be in support of. “Anything that’ll keep me alive would be fine.” She uttered with so much anger in her voice that I held back the urge to laugh at how cute she looked even when she tried to frown. I pretty much was blind and too carried away by pain and past events that I let it cloud my emotions and even my person. It was going to be hard to actually prove anything to her but I’ll try my best to make it quicker as I want her always with me. “Got that. Anything else you’ll need or you want to try to be a more specific lollipop?” I tried my luck one more time with her. “Yeah, how about your head on a platter and you stop calling me that.” She snapped with her head bringing out
