The three of us walked to a truck that was parked on a man-made road at the back of the clearing. The truck looked brand new, it was a four door, black expensive looking vehicle. Damian was driving of course while Ruby took the passanger seat and I got into the back. We all got settled in when the truck was started, Ruby started messing with the radio putting on some country music and started singing along. Her voice was a little off and I couldn't help myself but giggle, Damian heard me and smiled into the mirror while Ruby stuck her tongue out at me making me laugh harder.
In no time we arrived in town and went to the mall. My nerves were going to be the death of me, and it wasn't helping that Damian and Ruby were on high alert too. We got out of the truck scanning around, I relaxed a little when I didn't recognize anyone so far. Walking through the doors between Ruby and Damian, we decided to check out a few different clothing stores. Coming out holding
I was so used to waking up at 3 in the morning that I was surprised that I woke up a little later. Ruby told me that I didn't need to meet her at the kitchen until 5 and it was now 4:05 so I decided to get ready now so I could enjoy a cup of coffee before going in. After showering I took a glance in the mirror again and noticed that the dark circles from under my eyes are gone. Smiling as I walked to the kitchen in my cabin, starting the coffee pot I stretched enjoying the feeling of being rested and alive. I had a great feeling about today, glancing at the clock I realized I needed to head to the dining hall to get started on my duties with Ruby. Walking through the dining hall to the kitchen I noticed that Ruby was already preparing. "Good morning sunshine," she said while giving me a full smile."Morning!" I said in a excited voice. We started cooking everything, as I pulled the last pan of biscuits out of the oven, I noticed people were making t
Ryker I was so caught up in my thoughts I didn't realize someone was knocking on my door. After I left my office I caught the scent of lavender and rose knowing exactly who it was. Letting Lilith in and asking her to follow me to my office I noticed a gleam in her eye. Curious about what was making her excited I started off with apologizing about her running into her old pack. I hated that she had to go through with that especially knowing the person she ran into was that bastard that rejected her. I will never understand how they would put this woman through so much pain and be happy with themselves. My pack is different, I let them have their freedom but only enough that they still follow my rules and commands. I despise the other alphas and the way they treat their packs. Listening to Lilith explain how she wants to join my pack and start training I couldn't help but be a little too excited. I sent out a mind link
Lilith There was knocking on the door and I already knew who it was, opening the door for Ruby I noticed all the make-up and other supplies in her arms. Feeling a little excited about having my hair and make-up done by her I was smiling so big my cheeks were starting to hurt. I led her to my bedroom so we could get started. She rumaged through my clothes looking for the perfect outfit for me, and I was setting everything up that she had asked me to get ready. When I was finished I glanced at her seeing what she was handing me. I looked at the red sun dress with awe because this was the last thing that I thought she would pick. Going to the bathroom to change I was hoping this fit a little better than it did when I tried it on. Ruby suggested I get my clothes a little bigger when we went shopping telling me that I would gain weight fast. Taking off the outfit I was wearing I slipped on the dress gasping in surprise when it fit perfectly not loo
LilithRuby handed me a cup of beer and grabbing one for herself. I took a sip to taste it and liking the flavor I took bigger gulps of the beer reminding myself I needed to take it slow. I followed Ruby to a group that I soon recognized as our friends from the dining hall. Everyone was drinking their beer and talking about how my ceremony went smoothly and they couldn't wait for the barbecue to be ready. Glancing around I noticed Damian was not here with us and asked Ruby, she replied, "He helps our alpha with the barbecue, you would not have guessed it but Damian is our beta and is best friends to Alpha Ryker." It wasn't hard to believe but I soon realized that I said that I would put our beta on his ass. Slapping my forehead with embarrassment but telling myself I can't back down now it wasn't like I was challenging him. You could smell the meat cooking from where we were standing and my st
Ryker I noticed that Lilith was yawning trying to stay awake the best she could, so I told her it was okay for her to go home. I saw how Ruby looked at Lilly and I smiled to myself, they both agreed to stay the night at Lilly's place. I was sad to have her go but happy I got to stay close to her for the night. Damian was still working on the fire as I finished my beer, I noticed how peaceful I was with having Lilly by my side. I grew accustomed to the nickname Damian gave her seeing how it felt so right to say it. Damian finally made his way sitting in the chair Lilly left behind. I stiffened when I smelled Lilly's and Damian's scents together, Max growled in my head. I couldn't let it bother me, atleast not until I know for sure that she is my mate. Everyone was so lively considering the time, it was midnight and I knew if I let them they would be awake until after breakfast. I could only ask though the mind link if they would b
LilithThe alarm went off at 4 AM, as I turned over to shut it off I fell out of bed and landed on the cold hard floor. I forgot that Ruby stayed the night and I was already on the edge of the bed. Ruby woke up laughing at me as she looked over the bed and saw that I layed flat on the floor rubbing my head."Haha, if it was you in this position you would not be laughing," I said with humor in my voice."Yeah but if you were in my position you would be laughing at me!" she replied giggling. Smiling up at her I sat up on the floor and let her know that I would be in the shower if she wanted to start some coffee to wake up. Ruby nodded and headed to the kitchen while I went into my closet and pulled out some black tights and a plain white cami. After a quick shower I got dressed and braided my hair. In the mirror you could tell the tights were fitting quite snug and so was the
Lilith After a very long morning in town shopping with Ruby and the alpha we made it back in time so I can prepare the lunch I wanted too. I dropped the bags of new clothing off at my house and then headed to the dining hall. Ruby caught up to me asking what I had in mind for lunch so I replied, "Chicken salad, cut fruits and fresh lemonade.""Yummy, it has been awhile since we have had chicken salad here and I am sure everyone will love it." She clapped her hands excitedly as we reached the kitchen. Ruby helped me and we finished in no time, as everyone started coming into the dining hall I can hear their excitement over the lunch. I smiled to myself happy that I could contribute to the day since I was gone all morning. As everyone finished eating I asked about how the cabin was coming along for the witches, everyone at the table replied saying they finished building and all they needed was to furnish it. I co
LilithI was focused on Celeste and Marcellus as they started chanting in front of me, before I knew it I was unable to move or speak but my mind worked perfectly. Celeste nodded to everyone letting them know that everything is going as planned so far, and that I was in a trance and all I could do is hear and see them but I couldn't move or speak."We will start to unbind her wolf slowly then it will get intense as we push more magic into her," Celeste said as she moved my head to lay a pillow underneath. She gave me a small smile when she noticed I was staring at her."It will be okay, we won't let anything happen to you Lilith," she told me and squeezed my hand slightly in a comforting manner. Celeste and Marcellus looked at each other and nodded then she layed one of her hands on my stomach and grabbed Marcellus's hand in her other one. They both closed their eyes
"Mommy," little Mason ran up to me and threw his short arms around my leg. I was standing in the middle of the training area after a long session staring off into the distance. I had a lot on my mind that my anxiety didn't thank me for as I started feeling sick to my stomach and my nerves were all over the place. I smiled and shoved the anxiety away with the sight of my adorable little boy and lifted him into my arms. "What are you doing out here little one?" I asked while I kissed his cheek making him giggle. "Daddy said I could go see you and get you to play with me," he replied with the biggest smile a three year old can muster up. He instantly melted my heart and I couldn't help but inhale his sweet cheery scent and calm myself. "Alright my love, let us go play. Would you like to go to your swing?" he nodded his little head so fast I thought he would make me dizzy watching him. I ruffled his h
"Hey guys! I am so sorry that I haven't updated we had a winter storm that made our electricity go out for several days and I am in college so busy busy days. Thank you for your patience."Seven Months Later "Ryker!" I screamed over the intense pain.The baby was coming I could feel the contractions and I couldn't wake Ryker. I didn't want to do this but I had no choice. I raised my hand and pulled back my arm as soon as I felt a contraction I brought my arm down with the force of the pain I was feeling. I slapped Ryker across his cheek and finally he was awake looking around like a madman."What was that for?" he asked rubbing his now red cheek."Ryker if you don't get me to the doctor this instant you will regret being mated to me!" I screamed at him as another contraction came. They were getting stronger and I knew I needed to get to the doctor soon. He rushed around the room and grabbed the bag we had packed and
"Hey everyone! I am so sorry for the wait I had a lot going on and wasn't able to write. But I wanted to say that I have a lot planned before I finish this story. I love you all for the support you give me and appreciate every single one of y'all so thank you so much for your patience. I just ask that you still be patient with me and I will put out as many chapters as I can. I am in the middle of a move right now so I will try my hardest to give y'all what you are waiting for. You all mean the world to me for loving this story and I hope you follow me through my others when this one is finished."Lilith We landed in front of the prison that held Darius. Ryker took my hand in his and lead the way. Everyone followed behind us offering their support. My grandfather reached from behind and squeezed my shoulder affectionately. I smiled up at him as we entered the security doors of the prison. We were all escorted to the waiting area of the trial. When we arrived I de
Lilith Ryker and Lucian followed Ruby into my room and they all sat down around me."Lucian I have some news," Ruby said in a shaky voice. Lucian instantly got up from the chair he was in and went to Ruby."What is it love?" He asked softly pulling her into his arms."I am pregnant." Those three words had Lucian frozen and Ryker's head whip towards me. I nodded to Ryker letting him know that it was true and told Lucian, "In my visions I saw Ruby pregnant with me so I immediately had the doctor bring a pregnancy test so Ruby could take it and it came out positive.""Ruby?" Lucian whispered lifting her face to look at him, "Baby, look at me. This is a blessing and I love you so much!" Ruby was not expecting him to say that or be this excited you could tell by her shocked expressio
Lilith After a hour of being in the bed and receiving some fluids from the doctor I was finally released. Ryker and Ruby never left my side so that meant Lucian too. They were being stubborn and not listening when I told them I was fine and could be by myself now that Darius was locked away. Ruby wouldn't even let me use the restroom by myself she followed me where Ryker couldn't or wouldn't want to go. I felt bad for Lucian having to tag along with Ruby to spend time with her while she guarded me, but he didn't seem to mind."Will you guys give me a break!? I mean I love y'all and everything but I can't even take a shit without someone in the restroom!" I yelled storming out of the restroom with Ruby following me."Lilly baby, we just want to keep you safe," Ryker replied with Ruby nodding in agreement both of them trying hard not to laugh at my outburst. I just groaned and threw m
Lilith Everyone from the councils walked in including my grandfather and Ruby. Ruby instantly ran to my side and grabbed my hand. Ryker jumped up as soon as the door was opened and stood waiting holding my other hand. My grandfather and Annalise walked and stood by the side of the bed. Cynthia cleared her throat and stepped forward saying, "Doctor would you please explain to them about what you told us." The doctor stepped forward from the door way and started speaking pulling a machine with her, "Lilith, Ryker we have came to a discovery that you might want to pay close attention too." She lifted the bottom of my shirt explaining that she is going to examine my womb and show us what was discovered when I was healing. She squeezed a warm jelly onto my lower abdomen and pressed a part of the machine against me moving it around."It seems the baby is protecting itself wit
Lilith The feeling of disgust flowed through my body as she said the words I was dreading. I stared at Ryker as he had his eyes closed and clenching his fists. I didn't know what to say to him, but I knew I needed to say something."What are my options Doc?" I asked my voice void of any emotions."You have a few to choose from. First, you can abort but there are risks that you need to know of if you were to choose that option. Second, there is always the option to keep the baby. Third, you can have this baby and adopt it out to someone who can't have kids.""Abort," I said without hesitation."What are the risks if she was to do the abortion?" Ryker asked his voice shaking with anger. I understood why he was angry and I don't blame him, because I was already beyond angry I was empty and broken. Before the doctor was able to answer him the door flew open and in marched the olde
Lilith I couldn't take much more of this and I think he knows. It's been a week since I have been tied to this bed and I needed someone to help me before I gave up all the hope I had left. A few nights ago the Moon Goddess came to me after I had passed out and showed me how I could use my magic to reach through the bonds I had with Ryker and Ruby. I knew they couldn't hear me when I was to weak but last night I was able to reach Ryker with all the strength I had left before Darius showed up. I am bloodied, bruised and beaten as I lay here and wait for Darius to come back with another magic pregnancy test. I felt disgusted with myself at the fact I couldn't protect myself from him. This past week I have laid here and zoned out will he took advantage of me. I had held Ryker's smiling face in my mind as tears would roll down my face through everything Darius did to me. Darius has preformed three pregnancy tests so
Ryker She's gone and it is all my fault. I knew I shouldn't have let her train by herself. I had a feeling all morning that something bad was going to happen and when she told me she wanted a day by herself I should've put in more effort to stop her. We had no clue to where she was or who took her. Everyone was gathered together even the councils while the king gave everyone orders to find her no matter what it took. Here I was regretting not completing the mating bond so I could find her. I knew I should've done it but we both agreed we needed to wait for the perfect time even though there was plenty. Ruby and her mate haven't left my side since we found out Lilly was gone. Ruby was freaking out just as much as I was because she feels it was her fault for not being around as much giving someone the opportunity to kidnap Lilly. I was going crazy and it hasn't even been twenty four hours yet. Everyone is a complete mess knowing someone
