POV GriffinI opened my eyes and looked around at the chaos. I blinked and remembered what was going on. The fog and whatever spells they were using had cleared. Painfully, I jumped to my feet and looked around for Lilly. I smelled the air and focused on the house. Fuck! They were in there. I was so close. I literally had her in my arms. Twice! I looked for my father and found him livid in the street in front of the house with my crew and his. I eyed him as I walked up, watching as he paced frantically back and forth. "How are we going to get them out?"  I asked the group. There was silence aside from my Dad growling. I looked toward the house and saw Lilly and her mother peaking out. I looked at her in sadness and loss. She looked back at me with the same

POV LillyDinner was awkward from the start. No one knew what to say with Griffin sitting there. I had no idea how to view him. Was he our enemy or my hero? My love or my hate? We began eating in silence but soon my mom couldn't resist."So, Griffin..what do you think is going to happen now?" She asked with a glare. I sent her a warning look which she ignored.Griffin smirked, "I'm not sure. I hope that we'll finish this delicious dinner and maybe relax and sleep." Mom rolled her eyes but Jasmine snickered. "This is wonderful. You are all excellent chefs" he added.

POV LillyGriffin and I got up and followed Jasmine back to the living room. I was mentally kicking myself for letting things go so far with Griffin. I was by no means inexperienced but I didn't want to do things and grow the mate bond with him while I was still unsure of him and our future. I didn't need a broken heart on top of everything else."Here you go. I'm so sorry that we don't have anything for you to wear" Aunt Iris said as we entered the living room, gesturing to the couch."That's no problem" Griffin smirked."Do you need anything else?" Jasmine asked him."Actually, if it's okay with the rest of you, I was wondering if I could borrow a phone to talk to my Dad. I would like to tell him the things you have shared with me, with your permission, of course. I think that it will save time and frustration in the morning when we meet again" he suggested.I looked over at my mom as the rest of us did. I co

POV  LillyI sighed as we pulled into a parking lot. The ride wasn't as bad as I expected. Griffin had lightly rubbed my back the whole time. Instead of being annoying it was kind of nice. I looked up to see the diner. It was bright and happy looking and I couldn't help but smile at the sight of it. Everyone quickly piled out of the car and Griffin helped me out and then jumped out behind me. He grabbed my hand and walked next to me. When we got to the door, he let go of me and opened it. He ushered me in as Dolph took the door. Griffin put his arm around my waist and steered me towards a booth in the back. When we got to the table, I slipped in and Griffin followed me. Nik, Jasmine and Theo sat on the other side and Dolph pulled a chair up to the end of the table. I looked over the menu and asked, "What's good here?"The others besides Jasmine stared at me in shock."You've never been here?" Nik asked.

POV LillyI snuggled into Griffin as the movie began. He offered me some popcorn and I took some. I handed him the candy and he grinned."You really are the best." He said as the previews played. We cuddled all through the movies as he ate more than I thought possible. I chuckled at his sad face when he finished the popcorn halfway through the movie."Do you want me to get you more?" I offered and he lit up."Aww, baby. You are too sweet. No thanks. I'm good." he answered and put the popcorn down to pull me closer.I leaned over and put my head on his chest. He lightly tickled my neck and shoulders and I shivered. He chuckled as I looked up at him. He gently cupped my chin and leaned  closer. I hesitated and glanced towards the others. He looked around and smirked."Don't worry. They aren't paying attention." he whispered right before his lips touched mine. I kissed him back sweetly and he responde
