Liam isn't interested in a mate. But he is interested in having someone help him run the pack. So when he smells his mate from across the parking lot he's actually excited... until he realizes she's human.
Lihat lebih banyakLily Liam has been acting weird and I don't like it. All that crap about wanting to help out with the Halloween party... what was that? It's been over a week since the party and he still finds a reason to talk to me almost every single day. Like today, he asked if we could have lunch together. I told him I already had plans with Kara. Which I didn't. But I want nothing to do with that asshole. It seems like he's trying to make nice, but it's far too late for that. I still hate him and I don't know how I could ever forgive him for what he's done to me. The longer I'm here, the more I realized how poorly he handled our situation. He didn't need to kidnap me. He could have infiltrated my life like a lot of the other wolves with human mates. I would have felt the mate bond and eventually, would have left Derek on my own. Sure, it would have been hard but at least I wouldn't loathe him the way I do now. And then the marking. God that was terrible. Even the pack was uncomfortable with
Liam After my invigorating conversation with Sam, I head back to the house with newfound purpose and a plan. Even though I know logically that Lily and I can never have a real mate relationship, and I'm not sure I want that anyway, I wouldn't mind us being somewhat closer to friends. I ponder this as my feet hit the pavement back to our house with a steady, rhythmic purpose. I enter the house and head straight to the dining room where Lily is sitting thinking hard over something. "I want to help." I say as I put my hands on the back of the chair facing directly away from her. She doesn't answer me or even so much as glance my way. I start to get irritated until I realize she still has her ear buds in. I rap my knuckles on the table in front of her, causing her to jump again. She gives me an irritated scowl and pulls out an ear bud. "What?!" She shouts at me. Oh this is starting off great. "I want to help." "Help with what?" She responds, almost sounding bored. "With the Hallowe
Liam It had been nearly four months since I found Lily and after her first week, I could probably count on one hand the number of times we actually talked. We asked each other the occasional question, or said good morning when we passed by each other in the hall and that was basically it. I could go days at a time without ever actually laying eyes on her. The only proof she existed was her mouthwatering scent that clung to nearly every square inch of our house. The extended absence from our mate was making my wolf depressed. He rarely talked to me, didn't even bother to ask for Lily and flat out ignored me most days. I couldn't even remember the last time I shifted. So now, not only did I feel like I was missing the half of my soul where Lily should reside, I was losing my constant companion in my wolf. I thought pushing her away, keeping my distance and making her hate me would make me happy. I didn't want anything to do with having a mate, being all annoying and in love. The idea
Lily We arrive back at Liam's house and I head up to my room to start on another baby blanket and Sam agrees to make us some lunch. I hear him start up the stairs, only to be stopped by a voice. "Hey Sam. How was Callum's?" Liam asks. "Great! Luna had both the baby and Kara tucked into bed before we left." "Really?" Liam says a bit disbelieving. Sam only chuckles in response. "Yeah she even figured out the cheek rubbing thing." "All on her own?" Liam asks, stunned again. "Yep." Sam responds popping the 'p' on the end "Oh good, so that explains why you smell like her and I won't need to kick your ass for touching my mate." Sam chuckles again and I hear him start walking towards my room. "Nope, Alpha no need." "Well, it sounds like she is coming to terms with things, settling in well and taking to her responsibilities." "It was only one visit, Alpha. She still needs time." "I know, but it sounds like it went well. I'm pleased with the progress. Thank you for doing as I asked
Lily I got what I wanted. No more pain, no more heartache. At least not from him sleeping with other women. I almost couldn't believe how quickly he caved. He must have felt more pain than he let on. Or maybe he wasn't willing to risk me sleeping with his packmates. I giggle a little thinking that he actually believed I would force any of them to have sex with me. That's rape and I would never commit such an atrocity. But he believed my bluff hook, line and sinker. "I need a favor." Sam says from behind me. "Well more like our Gamma does." "Ok...." I urge him to continue. "He and his mate Kara just had a pup, a little girl named Grace, and she's really fussy. They've hardly been getting any sleep and they're desperate. As Luna, you have a calming effect on the pack. They were hoping you would come visit them and maybe help settle the little firecracker down for a bit so they can get some rest." I smile at the thought and nod yes. "Wait! Let me grab something." I head up to my clo
Liam I hear Sam's heavy, tired footsteps making his way to my home office. He opens the door and shuts it quietly behind him before collapsing into the chair across from my desk. He runs both hands down his face and sighs heavily. "She's finally asleep." He says tiredly. "I figured." I respond. "The stabbing pain in my chest has lulled to a dull ache." "Yeah I felt it too." "You did?" I ask. "Yeah. I think the whole pack did to a certain extent. She doesn't know she can broadcast her emotions to us, let alone how to control it." He answers. I sigh myself and look over at my exhausted beta. "Thank you for all you're doing for her. I know it's not in your job description. Any idea when Callum will be back?" He shakes his head. "He and Kara are having a hard time with the baby. I guess she doesn't sleep well. I told him to take his time though. I don't mind spending time with Luna." I nod. "She'll be alright. She just needs to get closer to the pack." "Liam. I think she's depre
Lily As soon as the door closed behind me, Derek's head snapped in my direction and he launched himself towards me. It took him no time to close the distance between us and he wrapped his arms around my waist as I flung mine around his neck. "Oh my God Lily where have you been?!" Tears begin to cloud my eyesight and I take a deep breath to compose myself. "I'm so sorry Derek. I'll explain everything I promise. Just hold me for a minute." "I've been so worried, baby. The last I heard from you was a text that you had to go out of town unexpectedly to take care of a sick cousin. I didn't even know you had a cousin." This was news to me, someone must have gone through my phone and didn't want him to be suspicious. "I'm sorry, my phone broke shortly after so I couldn't get ahold of you. But I'm here now." An idea forms and I decide to act on it. This may be the last time a man makes love to me and I want to take advantage of it, as well as letting Liam see what he's been putting me th
LilyIt's been five days since I have been trapped in this house. The only reason I know that is because every day Liam leaves the house in the evening and shortly after the flames lick my body. After the second night, Sam and I developed a routine. As soon as Liam would leave, Sam would fill my bathtub with cold water and as much ice as he could and when the pain started, I would sink in to the freezing cold water, fully clothed and ride it out. It didn't take the pain away, but it did take the edge off enough that I didn't pass out anymore. After Liam was done, I would start to shake so Sam would turn on the shower to a warm setting and sit in there with me. He didn't seem to mind getting soaking wet, and since dealing with the pain took up so much of my energy I could barely stand upright. I don't think I could survive this new pathetic existence if it weren't for Sam.As much as the physical pain was taking a toll on me, the emotional pain was just as bad. Every time Liam left the
LilyAfter a restless sleep I woke up a few hours later, still feeling exhausted. I looked around the room. The sun was now setting and the Asshole was asleep in his chair. I pushed the covers off of me and stood up slowly, trying not to wake him. I opened the door quietly and took a few tentative steps down the hall. There was no burning in my neck so I walked a little further. I found a staircase and traveled down to what looked like the main level. The staircase was large and winding and I ended up in a foyer of some kind with black and white tiles and a large crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I wandered through a dining room and living room until I found a kitchen. My stomach was howling at me now and I could not deny my hunger any longer."Hey Luna!" A voice called from behind me. I jumped and spun around nearly falling over until I saw Sam walking from the other side of where I came in from."So, you can handle being away from alpha now, huh?" He asked, walking closer
LilyFinally! Home sweet home after that sucky shift. Being a nurse just gets harder and harder I swear. I pull up to our little bungalow in my black Ford Focus and thank God that day is over. It's already dark, but Derek left the porch light on for me. The faint glow makes our white house with red shutters even more welcoming than the daylight.I kick off my shoes as soon as I walk in and head straight for the little laundry room to throw my scrubs in the washer. Before I touch anything else I walk straight to the bathroom and turn the water in the shower on to the hottest setting my body can stand."Rough day?" Derek asks from the doorway.I give him a weak smile as my eyes peruse his familiar body. Blonde curly hair, bright blue eyes, sweet smile. He's always been lean, not particularly muscular but that never bothered me. At just over six foot he's much taller than me. At first it was intimidating but after being together for two years I find it more comfortable at this point. He ...
