LilyThe truth may hurt me, but at least now I knew where to place myself for Wade.I was on my way downstairs to leave the Packhouse when I saw Mary making her way upstairs with a tray of food in her hand. I moved aside to give her way.Seeing her knocking at the room I just left, curiosity that’s building inside me won as I stayed in my place, carefully eavesdropping on what their conversation may be.“Here’s the exact food you requested, Luna.”I kept my back on them, not seeing what was happening as I stood in the corner before the staircase.“Can you tell me about that woman named Lily who cleaned this room?”My guts confirmed that I was correct. She wants to know more from me.“She joined our Pack a couple of years ago. One of the higher council of werewolves, Aiden brought them here.”“Them? Who’s she with? Is it a man?”“She’s a single mother of twins and if what I heard was right, Alpha Wade of Crescent Pack is currently staying in their hut.”As soon as hearing Mary revealed

LilyWhen I tried to see what it was, I saw Iris making her way to our place with a couple of ladies behind her. She was walking with her back straight and head held up high.Suddenly, the wide smile flashed on Mandy’s face disappeared and was replaced with her eyes enlarged in fear. She pushed herself back and I noticed her chest going up and down because of her rapid breathing.I was puzzled for a moment until I realized that she seemed to be scared of something…or someone. But the only thing I’ve seen coming is Iris.The pure confusion in my head had ended when Iris stopped before us.Mandy hastily rose from her place as if she’s panicking because of Iris’ presence.“I didn’t know you already made a new friend here,” Iris snickered.“I-I-I just met her, Iris.”“Oh, Mandy, the worst thing you could have ever done into your life is to be friends with someone way lower than me.”“L-Lily’s really nice and has adorable kids,” Mandy reasoned as if Iris’ approval was something she lived b

LilyAs a result of last night, I was up early. I convinced myself to do chores I normally do every single day before even Wade came back into my life.I was all fine without him in the first place. Why would it make a difference now that he’s gone as well, right?The fork I was holding got away from my grip as a loud thumping sound outside suddenly interrupted.Thinking it was probably nothing, I was about to ignore it when it was followed by rigid and continuous knocks.I left the kitchen to attend to whoever that impatient person behind the door as the knock when louder.Pulling the door open, I was taken aback to see Iris behind it. Alpha James and Beta Hans stood after her.“Iris, you should calm down and let me think about this first.”Alpha James seemed to be in a lot of trouble, but as soon as Iris saw me peeking at the door, she forcibly pushed the door wide open.“Why do you need to even think of it? Lily’s not obviously bringing anything to the Pack!”“Single mothers like h

LilyHis confidence in saying that made me even more afraid. He seemed to be determined to convince Alpha James about it.And I’m more than afraid that if that ever happens, my twins and I might leave the Pack for good. And Aiden for sure wouldn't be able to do anything about that anymore.“B-but, is it true that you’re involved in a land closure agreement with different Packs?”Wade nodded with my question which made me even more vulnerable.“I actually already convinced nearby Packs to sell their lands to me and transform into some farm. But I’m kind of in trouble convincing Alpha James to agree because of that fucking Aiden.”My throat went dry.So that’s why he has hated Aiden since then.Our dinner ended, and I’m still stuck, thinking about Wade’s confession.“Don’t forget the promise you made to read us books tonight,” Zoey stared at Wade, holding books with her arms.Wade then looked at me, as if getting my approval.Puzzled, I just nodded. “Go on. I’ll clean up the table,” I s

LilyIt didn’t take longer when we arrived at the event place. Mandy had to find Iris, while Wade and I parted ways after entering the main floor where the ball was going to take place.I decided to take the table on the very corner just to make sure no one, even Iris, could see us. Attending this exclusive party won’t be possible without Wade and anyone who’s going to recognize us would be surprised, so might as well be cautious not to make any commotion.Evan and Zoey who were beside me were very much amazed seeing everything around. I couldn’t thank Wade no more for allowing my twins such experiences I know I couldn’t give to them.“We’re gonna get some snacks right there!” Zoey announced and before I could say a thing, they both pulled their tiny hands from my grip and fled away.I was about to follow them when Iris showed up in front of me, blocking my way.“Oh, look who’s here? I never thought low-class people were even allowed to enter even just to serve.”“Please, Iris. I don'
