All Chapters of Life After the Storm: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

LILLY'S POV As 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

As the sun is beaming in my eyes, I have no way of escaping it. I come to the exception that it is just time to wake up. As I sit up in bed and I reached my arms out to stretch. I then notice Landon is still sleeping. I'm surprised that he stayed over. I can't help but stare at him, he is so handsome. I want to just snuggle into his smoking hot body, but I decide to get a shower instead. I Want to look my best when he wakes up.I try to get out of bed as discreetly as possible, so I do not wake him. I tiptoe to the bathroom, trying not to make a lot of noise. I then shut the bathroom door, letting out a breath, knowing I can breathe now. Landon has been so stressed out with all that has been happening, allowing him to rest awhile longer won't hurt anything.I then walk over to the shower and turn the water on until I get it to the perfect temperature. I then begin to undress as I look in the mirror. I see my growing stomach realizing I'm going to be a mother soon. I am

IVANS POVI must leave to come back to my pack. But I will find a way of making Lilly be mine and only mine. It will be as simple as bringing Landon's pack and combining it with my pack and using Lilly as a condition. Knowing that Landon will do anything to protect his pack. So, it will be easy to make him forget all about Lilly. I don't mind competition, but I shouldn't have to fight for my own mate.I met with him today and I'm not looking forward for 2 alpha's running this pack. Knowing if I want to get what I truly desire, that this is the only way. I need Lilly to be mine, and only mine. All those that she cares about will be the only way I will really be able to punish her.I don't want her to have relations with anybody else but me. It might seem selfish of me. But I do not care, she will only belong to me. I know at first it will be hard for her to adjust, but eventually, she will. I will make sure that she will never have the chance of ever escaping me ev

As the days continue to pass by, I'm still lost in this world. I lie in this hospital bed, I don't talk, I don't move. I don't want anything to do with anyone. As the doctor and nurses speak, I do not listen. I'm not interested in what they are saying. I do not care about my healing. I will heal repeatedly if I choose to or not. I heard one of them say that Ivan is coming to take me back to his house. I'm scared I don't want to stay with him. I cringe at the thought of staying with him.As I stare outside, wishing I could fly like the birds. I haven't even really stood up from this bed. I hate that I feel so sorry for myself. I need to take control of my life. So, I decided since I am alone, I'm going to try to get up and take a shower. As I unplug the bed alarm, so they cannot hear me stand up. I have no trouble as I make it to the bathroom. Surprised that my legs aren't shaking, but strong.I shut the bathroom door and I lock it so no one can come in. I don't want to
