a bit long, but wanted to finish the chapter here. so I could get your opinion on what you think Jayden should do. I'll come back to Ariel too.
Osiris’ pov I took some of my soldiers, Damian and the ones Edward brought and found a spot where the border was weak. We didn’t have to kill anyone on border patrol, because one of the soldiers on watch was an old friend of Damian. When we told him why we were here, he not only let us through, but he told us exactly where we needed to go. It was risky, who knew if he secretly revealed our plan to Beta Tyrion. But Damian seemed to trust him and I trusted Damian. Who would have thought I would trust him, but he had no reason to betray us again. We separated, going to see those ‘elite’ families. The whole thing was ridiculous. In the Iron River pack there were some families that had more money than others, but they didn’t hold more power. I valued everyone’s opinion equally and would never be persuaded to do something because of money. As soon as I heard one of the families that held power, were the parents of Tyrion, I knew I wanted to go there. Maybe they weren’t as bad as him. Som
Lily’s pov Life with two kids was a lot different than with one. How did my parents do this? Osiris was gone one day and already I was freaking out. I was trying to nurse Kate, while Asher kept wanting my attention. I had a tough time keeping my eyes open for most of the day and I had to watch out for Asher, because he didn’t realize yet that his baby sister was a lot more fragile than that doll we gave him. I was so happy when Osiris mindlinked me on the way back. Most importantly I was happy that Angelina and Alpha Jayden were save. But I was also happy that I had Os back in one piece. “So he could help and you can take a nap?” Arya joked. “Yeah, mostly for that reason.” I replied laughing. I mean, I did just give birth two days ago. I mindlinked April, asking her how her baby girl was doing. “Leia is doing wonderful. The doctor said she can come home tomorrow. Oliver is so exited to welcome her home and I can’t wait to show you what the boys did with her bedroom. I honestly th
Cyrus’ pov Leia was the best fucking baby ever. Her lashes, o my goddess. She was so fucking cute and her tiny fingers. I visited her at the hospital every day, but today we could fucking finally take her home. Leia had been drinking well, gaining weight and her leg had fully healed. There was a tiny scar where some fucking branch scratched her. Thank the Goddess I was married to a fucking werewolf, or my baby would have never survived. I just wish I wasn’t so fucking helpless. I mean, if I was living with humans I would have been a fucking god amongst men. I was stronger, faster and had fucking healing powers?! That shit sounds supernatural as fuck. But here, I was someone who needed protection. How was I able to fucking protect my family, protect my kids? Speaking of kids, Oliver is just as excited to welcome Leia home. He is already the best biggest brother any girl could fucking ask for. He was so fucking gentle and he had even bought her a toy with his own pocket money. April
Osiris’ pov I wasn’t sure if sending one of the border patrol would scare Ariel even more, but I couldn’t just let her run away and be hurt. It was fine if she wanted to leave, but I wanted to make sure she had somewhere to go first. “Don’t interact with her, just follow her.” I told the guards. I didn’t want to scare her by finding her as a wolf, so I brought some pants with me and shifted. When I had found her scent it wasn’t hard to follow her. I shifted back and ran towards Ariel. “Ariel. Are you okay?” “Is that the best you can do?” Santos asked, but honestly, what else could I say? Ariel shook her head, “I shouldn’t have come here. It’s going to be even worse here. Please don’t hurt me. Just make it quick.” I was confused, “why should I kill you?” Ariel was pacing and looking more scared than ever. “You don’t understand. I didn’t know. I wasn’t my choice.” “I don’t know what you’ve heard about the Iron River pack, but we don’t just kill people here.” Ariel shook her hea
Meadow’s pov I felt really honored that Alpha Osiris called me here to help, but I did not expect to hear this at all. So this new girl, Ariel, was a human? Or she used to be a human? “I wonder what she looked like when she shifted.” Aurora said. “Me too.” I replied to my wolf. “Do you want to tell me more? It might help you. Once I shared what happened to me, I felt less ashamed and realized it wasn’t my fault.” I said, knowing it would also help Alpha Osiris to know more. Ariel shook her head, “no, it’s too much.” Okay, a different approach. “Can you tell me why you came here then? Instead of staying at the Silver Heart pack?” Ariel nodded, “okay.” She took a deep breath, “after I was changed I tried to live with humans for a while, but I left once I turned eighteen. I couldn’t control shifting. I don’t have a wolf like you do. I tried living among the rogues, but they live mostly in wolf form and I stood out. One of the other rogues took pity on me and helped me. Her name wa
Lily’s pov Osiris had invited a bunch of people to eat dinner at the packhouse and discuss Ariel. It kind of surprised me, he usually didn’t ask that many people for advice. Our circle was getting bigger and I was really happy that Osiris was opening up to people. Kate was doing really well and Asher was surprisingly sweet to her today. He even got me a diaper for her when she pooped. I put Kate in a sling and took Asher down to dinner. Everyone was already there, even Cyrus and April with Leia and Oliver. April and I hugged and showed each other our babies. Leia already gained some weight and had cute rosy cheeks. Meadow and Chris were here and they both were marked, so I congratulated both, which made Meadow blush. Damian and Kane, Easton and Ela were here, Prisha and Ishaan and the boys, and of course Mia and Riker with Sierra, Emma and Jara with their kids. The whole table was full with people and we all chatted, happy to be together. Once dinner was over, the bigger kids play
Ela’s pov I can’t believe I am part of Alpha Osiris and Luna Lily’s inner circle. I have only been here for a year and I am not even a full werewolf. “Hey, don’t pretend I am not the best wolf ever.” Ati said, feeling insulted. “And don’t cut yourself short. You’re a part of this pack, just like the rest.” Well, today that meant that after school I had to go see the new girl, Ariel and bake something together. I didn’t mind having the whole packhouse kitchen to myself, that kitchen was insane. It was like something at a five star restaurant. They had to be able to feed enough people, so there were several ovens and all the equipment you needed for whatever you were making. I had classes in the morning, so I would stop by after lunch. Cyrus texted me that Ariel was working at the farm and I could pick her up there. I felt kind of bad for him and April, she just had her baby home and needed to rest and play with Leia, instead of working. But if you live on a farm you don’t really get
Ela’s pov I got to the car to check on Ariel, opened the door and sat in the driver seat. “I thought we were friends.” She said, crying. “We are. I mean, I want us to be.” I replied. “Why would you do that? Is this some sort of prank? Is this how you thought I would talk? Just let some guy pretend to like me and then I will tell you everything?!” For once she didn’t speak softly, she sounded angry and sad. “No!” I quickly said, “I would never. I really want to be your friend. Troy felt something. Sparks.” Ariel rolled her eyes, “as if a guy like that would be my mate?! I can’t even have a mate. I am not a real werewolf, I am just a stupid experiment. I am a freak. I am a monster!” She broke down and started crying hysterically. Her whole body was shaking and she started hitting herself against her face. “I am ugly. I am a freak. I am worthless. I am just like my father.” I stopped Ariel from hitting herself by grabbing her arms. She started to get fur on her arms and I knew s
