I know that Landon is unsure of letting Ivan stay and not telling anyone. Convincing him wasn't easy. I had to make sure that Ivan would at least make it through the night. I don't know who would do this to him, but they left him for dead. I know that I should not have any compassion for him, but I do. As much as I want to hate him, I just can't.
As I get back to my cabin to check on him, I see that he is still sleeping, but he's breathing. I feel relief coming over me. I can breathe now, knowing that he's going to survive.
"Lily, we need to lay with your mate and cuddle into him."
"Star, you can't expect me to do that."
"Lily, you have to understand it will help him heal faster and take away some of his pain."
I hesitate. I know that all I should want to do is help my mate and make him feel better in any possible way. As I look at Ivan, all I see is a man who broke me. I'm still healing from what she has done. I Want to forget about it, but
IVAN'S POVI have never felt so helpless in my life. As I wait for what is about to happen, I clench my fist as I prepare myself for the pain I'm about to feel. I look at the men as they shift into their wolves. I try to remember every feature of my attackers, hoping to be able to identify who is doing this to me to understand why they wanted to kill me so badly. Especially on how they decided to kill me, fuck they are cowards couldn't even allow me a chance of fighting back.As I watch them tear my body apart, all bite and claw marks. Their mouths covered in blood drip from their lips as they lick up with their tongues, just to begin again. Wanting to black out or just die from all the pain I'm feeling, wondering if they're going to eat me alive.Then All of a sudden, I'm in shock when I hear Jenny's voice, and then it confirms it's her when I see her human as she is walking up to me with her blood covered lips. I look and see a machete in her hand then fear be
LILLY'S POVI can't believe what Ivan has just told me about Jenny. How could she be capable of something so evil? I know that Ivan hurt me, but I couldn't have done that to him, maybe it's just because he is my mate. I know that she didn't want to marry him, but to kill him. Knowing the repercussions for this are going to be so bad. How do I even begin to even tell Landon?He's going to get so angry as soon as the words escape my lips. I want to avoid lying to him. I want to tell him the truth of what I just heard. I then think maybe it is better if I just keep it to myself for now. I need to find Sam, so I can figure all this out. I don't want Ivan to leave I don't know if he is safe, I know that I shouldn't care, but I do.As Ivan is sitting on my bed, I see the pain in his eyes, I can tell he is terrified. I want to comfort him,, but I don't know how. The feelings I have for him are only because of the mate bond. I walk over to him and sit beside him o
I jump up and wrap my arms around him with tears coming out of my eyes, I know that he can tell something is wrong. "Ivan we need to go, something has happened I was wrong and Landon lied to me that your pack was attacked I'm so sorry.""Who answered when you called?""A woman I think she was your mother she told me that Sam is dying. I can save him. But she wouldn't tell me where she was, she wanted to talk to you first."As I watch tears fill his eyes, I feel so sorry for him he then says nothing. I know we have little time to come up with a plan. I can see that he still is weak, and he might even be afraid. I hear Star Lilly he needs his mate to connect with him even if it's a hug, hold on to him and only think about healing him.I don't hesitate, I wrap my arms around him and hold on to him so tight like I'm never going to let him go. It feels amazing the feeling that he makes my body feel, but my mind is far away from what my body feels. I'm so confu
I am so frustrated with Ivan right now. I just want to smack him. He made me believe that Sam was in real danger. He could have told me that Sam was fine. I was so worried. That he was dying when in reality he is just fine damn it Ivan."Why wouldn't you tell me that it was a code that Sam was okay Ivan, damn it I was terrified.""Lilly, if I had told you, then you wouldn't have wanted to be with me. I needed to fully heal, and I knew that if I had told you the truth, that you wouldn't have let me fuck you."Hating him but listening to him talking about us fucking has my pussy getting wet for him again. God, I hate this fucking mate bond. It is too much to handle. God, I could take him again right here, right now, fuck. I focus on my anger instead of trying to control myself."Damn Ivan you can't just let me chose to be with you, instead you have to trick me to be,""Lilly, really, you wouldn't have touched me if you knew that Sam was fine, you wou
LANDON'S POVAs the Rouge takes off through the woods, I go after him trying to find which direction the rouge went in damn it I can't allow him to escape. It terrifies me that he saw what Lilly is capable of. She doesn't realize how much danger she just put herself in. I'm grateful that she helped,, but I'm worried now that she may be targeted.I have never ran so fast in such desperation in my life, the need to protect her is so strong she should have waited until there was no one that would be able to see what she was capable of. She doesn't understand she needs to keep her ability to herself to keep herself out of danger. I knew this would happen. Damn it, what is going to happen if I can't catch him.I don't even know why they would have even targeted my pack, just because of the fact we keep to ourselves we don't bother others. We don't have enemies, they could easily wipe My pack out there's few of us. It makes no sense that Ivan's pack was just targeted
IVAN'S POVHe wants me to go and listen to what his father is talking about, I feel that it is a trap. That he wants to get me killed, so he can have Lilly all to himself. I don't blame him, she is perfect, I would want to get rid of any competition also.As I get closer to his father, I notice that the rouge we were chasing approaches him and bowls down to him. Anger begins to fill my body, knowing that he has something to do with all that has happened, but why.He looks at the rouge, "did you accomplish what needed to be done, did you kill that she wolf and her mate that betrayed me.""Of course there is no way of them surviving, but your son came after us and a she wolf I'm not sure her name they killed Tony. There was one other wolf that was there, I forget his name, but I know that he was supposed to be dead.""So did everything go as planned? Did Landon follow you out here, did you lead him away from his pack?""Of course I did, he was
LILLY'S POVAs I watch Landon and Ivan take off, I'm worried. Are they going to let their ego get in the way of what needs to be done? I'm flattered that Landon wants to protect me at all cost. But there was no way that they saw me. I was discreet about it, I tried to be, anyway. I tried to make it look like I was just a concerned pack member checking on them.I help Jasmine to her feet, knowing that she is confused to how she is still alive. I can see fear in her eyes. Then all of sudden I hear a whistle confused and I say out aloud “what is that noise?”She looks at me as tears fill her eyes, she says with a shaky voice, “We are getting ready to be attacked.”“Fuck ok, I need to get you to safety.” A strength overcomes me that I never knew I had, I pick up Jasmine and take her to Landon's house. As little Jayden comes running over as we get into the door.“Lilly, what is going on the whistle went of
It has been a couple of days since the attack. Ivan has left, and Landon hasn't spoken to anyone since the memorial services of all those that we lost. I've been trying to give Landon time. I'm wondering if he blames me for the lives that I couldn't save.I want to talk to him, but I don't know how. He is so full of anger that I don't want him to take it out on me. I've been assisting all the wolves that have lost their loved ones. Doing little chores here and there. Helping the mothers take care of their children, trying to explain to them what has happened.Many wolves lost their mates. There is so much heartbreak that I don't know how to cure it all. The pack has lost the light. Now we are all just full of darkness. They need their leader to come forward and guide them. But he won't even leave his house. I know that he blames himself for all of this. Or maybe he blames me because he left his pack to protect me.Ivan said that he would be back, but he didn't s
