POV Lilly
I woke up to see Griffin sleeping soundly next to me, arms wrapped protectively around my waist. I smiled at him, admiring his handsome features. I knew he was awake when a moment later, he made a ugly face at me and pulled me into my chest.
"You sleep okay, baby?" he whispered into my hair and I nodded.
"Good." He looked at me and sighed.
"I know today is going to be difficult. Just please know that I will always be here for you. You and your family are not alone." He said.
"Thanks, Griff." I whispered and he grinned.
I unwrapped his arms an
POV LillyI groaned as I woke up and looked around to see Griffin smiling down at me. All the memories from the night before came back and I blushed as he smirked and chuckled."How are you feeling?" he drawled and I glared at him."Sore?" he guessed and I nodded.I looked down to see that I had Griffin's boxers and tank on since we had run to the bathroom before sleeping. He quickly slipped on his pants."Let's go eat." I suggested."Okay but you should at least put on your bra." he recommended and I realized that he was right.
POV LillyI sighed as we pulled up to the house."Here we are." my Mom said, trying to hide her nervousness. I looked over at her and smiled. She and I looked alike, both with blond hair and bright green eyes. We were both about 5 feet 5 inches and slender. Most people knew right away that we were related."The house is nice" I observed and she nodded."It looks just like when we left it" she replied.It was a cute two story house. Not huge but not small either. It had a small garden out front but I knew that my Aunt Iris had a big one in the back too. I smiled at the rosemary planted by the gate and gestured to it to show my mom. She smiled too but I could see the anxiety all over her. In the lines under her eyes, in the stoop of her shoulders, everywhere. I've never seen her like this, even when the coven was right behind us. I was about to press her for information when I was tackled by a dark haire
POV LillyWe spent the rest of the day unpacking, catching up and settling in. Mom and I explained to Jasmine and Iris what happened in California in more detail. Needless to say, they were worried about what it could mean for us but Iris waved our concerns away after a few moments."They wouldn't dare come here to look for you." she assured us."Why?" I pressed but she just shrugged."Trust us. Your aunt is right. We're safe here." my mom agreed and then changed the subject. Aunt Iris made us dinner that night and we all sat down together."So school starts for you girls in a few days. I've already taken care of the paperwork so you'll be all set." Aunt Iris began as we ate. Mom looked worried but nodded."We need to talk about some rules" Mom began."Jasmine already knows but no going into the woods without letting us know." Iris piped in and Mom nodded in agreement."How are we supposed to fora
POV LillyI looked on nervously as the trio got closer. I looked at Jasmine and nodded towards the door but she shook her head."Hey! Jasmine, right?" The girl called out as they got close."Yeah, and you're Nikini." Jasmine replied, trying to sound bored. It probably convinced them but I knew her too well. She was nervous. "Yep but please call me Nik. This is Theo " she nodded to the sweet looking boy."Hi" he smiled even bigger."This is Dolph." she put her hand on the back of the scary looking one.He nodded but didn't say anything."Yeah. I've had classes with them before" Jasmine replied. She stared at Nik for a moment in silence. It was awkward to say the least."Who's this with you?" Nik finally asked, gesturing to me."This is Lilly." Jasmine replied stiffly. I sighed."Hi" I waved and smiled. Theo held out his hand and I shook it. Nik did the sa
POV GriffinWhen Nik and the others got back, I met them in the bar."How was the rest of the mall?" I asked as I sat in the booth next to Nik. She shrugged. "It was okay. Jasmine and Lilly were something though." Theo replied. My eyes snapped to him."What do you mean?" I demanded.Theo chuckled, "I've never seen anyone withstand Nik's icy moments of silence and Dolph's intimidation tactics." I felt strangely proud and happy at that but I didn't know why. I felt my wolf stir. He's been riled up all day and I couldn't figure out why. Nik waved a hand in my face and I realized that they had been talking to my and I was staring off into space."You okay?" she asked as I took a deep breath, smelling something wonderful."I'm good. I like your new lotion" I replied as I got up to get a drink. She frowned and looked confused as I walked away.POV LillyJasmine and I booke
POV Griffin (The night before)After drinking with my crew until late evening, I had found a girl to take back to my room. I was doing just that when Dad linked me and ordered me to his office."I've got to go. Go home" I told the confused and pissed girl. She made a face but shut up when she saw my glare and hurried away. I stomped to Dad's office and walked in."What's going on?" I asked as I looked around. Graves my Dad's Beta and Boris the Gamma were there along with Dolph, Nik, Theo and one of our trackers named Tom. "Tom just got back from following those girls today. He wants to tell us about it." Dolph replied and I furrowed my brow."Why didn't he just link us?" I demanded and Tom sighed."I can't. I've been trying for hours. I can't even shift right now" Tom answered and I looked at him in surprise."What!" I exclaimed and Dad put his hands up. "Everyone calm down. Let's figure
POV Griffin"We better get to class" Jasmine said behind Lilly, breaking us out of our stupor. Lilly pulled her hand away and stepped back from me quickly. I didn't like that one bit and I growled lowly."Jasmine's right. We've got to go. See you later!" she called as she turned and refused to look at me.I reached out to grab her arm but she rushed away with Jasmine behind her. I was enraged and started to chase after her. How dare she walk away from me! Nik held me back, though."Calm down. We know where they're going." she reminded me and I took a deep breath of her lingering scent to calm myself. Theo exchanged a look with Lance and Lance nodded back at him."I'll see you at lunch" Lance said and gave Theo a kiss and walked off."Is she really your mate?" Theo whispered after he left and I nodded slowly. "What are you going to do?" Dolph pressed. I had always said that I woul
POV GriffinI growled again as I watched her hurry away. I was sick of walking her run away from me. At least this time, I didn't need anyone to hold me back. That's progress, right?"You're going to lose your voice if you keep growling like that" Theo joked and I rolled my eyes.Axel, Stone and Cedric all turned to look at us and we stared back at them."What's your interest in Jasmine?" Cedric demanded and my eyes widened."Why? You like her?" I asked and he glared at me. "Leave her alone" Cedric hissed at me.
