POV Lilly
Everyone chuckled at Griffin's joke except my mom and I. I rolled my eyes and Mom rose her eyebrows at him in warning but he smirked at her and she let it go. Griffin sighed and buttered some toast that he just made.
"I hate mornings." Penny mumbled as she stumbled in. It looked like she was already dressed and ready for school although her bleary eyes and cringing face said differently.
We chuckled at her and Griffin handed me the toast and then began buttering another piece. I smiled at him and tried to hand it back but he frowned and shook his head.
"Eat it." he commanded and I rolled my eyes and took a bite.
We all chatted through a quick breakfast and I enjoyed watching Mom and Skol tease each other. I could see the adoration in both their eyes. I was relieved to see how happy and at ease my Mom was with him. She deserved a good partner especially after what my sperm donor had put her through.
Jasmine wa
POV GriffinI was pissed. More than pissed, I was livid. But under that anger was fear. What if something happened to her? What if she's hurt? What if she's kidnapped? What if she's running? What if she doesn't want me? What if she rejects me? So much fear.I fucking hated fear. "Where the hell could they be?" I demanded and my crew looked helplessly around the parking lot.We had arrived at the school a few minutes ago, surprised to not see Jasmine's car anywhere. I was sure that they were headed to school."I don't know, boss. Why would they take off like that?" Dolph asked and I sighed.I ran my hands through my hair as Nik took a closer look at me with suspicion in her eyes."What did you do, Griffin?" she asked.She knows me too well."I may have told Lilly that she couldn't wear the skirt she was planning on wearing." I replied, sheepishly."Told?" Nik pushed. I cringed, "Dema
POV LillyJasmine and I hurried to our lockers and first period. Griffin and Cedric both smirked as they followed us in. Of course, Cedric sat next to Jasmine and Griffin sat next to me. I smiled at Griffin and he grinned back while Jasmine ignored Cedric and sighed. Cedric tried to get her attention for a moment and then gave up."Hey Griffin! Guess what?" Cedric called over our heads.Griffin looked surprised but looked over and shrugged."What ?" He replied."My class schedule got changed. I have all the same classes as you. Isn't that strange?" Cedric continued. I looked over to Jasmine in shock. She looked livid. That meant that Cedric would have all the same classes as us too. "Asshole." Jasmine mumbled and I nodded in agreement."I'm sorry, did you say something, Beloved?" Cedric asked with a grin. I gasped. I had no idea what was about to go down but I had a feeling that it
POV LillyAs we walked the hallways, I realized that we were a bit early for lunch and most of the classes hadn't gotten out yet. The hall was deserted. I looked over to see Jasmine furrowing her eyebrows at something or someone. I followed her eye line to see Ember with her back to us, leaning on some lockers. I frowned as we got closer. It looked like she was crying."Ember? Are you okay?" I asked softly.She looked startled and jumped a bit when she caught sight of us. She quickly wiped her eyes and chuckled."Oh, of course. Your men are all pissed off that you three went AWOL." she tried to defer but I shook my head."Come on, Ember. I know that you don't know us very well yet but we want to help. We want to be your friends." Jasmine tried.Ember looked at us in disbelief."Even if I told you that Cedric told me what you are? Do you want to still be friends? Knowing that my kind brutally used yours? That I c
POV GriffinWe all walked back to the table and sat by our mates while Dolph stood in hesitation for a moment. He examined Cedric and Ember carefully as he stood there. I could see his jaw clench when he realized how close both of them were to Lilly. Lilly saw him and smiled at him brightly. She seemed to think for a moment and then she nodded for me to move down and pulled a chair between her and Jasmine. Jasmine looked at her in alarm but relaxed when she looked into Lilly's eyes."Dolph! Will you sit by Jasmine and I? Please?" Lilly asked. Dolph looked startled and glanced at me. I nodded and he grinned and hurried to take the seat. He looked so pleased and proud of himself. It warmed my heart and I grinned at Lilly, knowing that she was making a special effort to make sure he felt included."So what were you two troublemakers up to all morning? Skipping school?" Dolph shook his head."Here I though that you two wou
POV GriffinI hurried to change and rushed out to the gym with Theo and Dolph. I took a seat on the bleachers next to Cedric who was talking to Axel and Stone about something. I looked around to see a few girls already out but none of them were Lilly, Jasmine or Nik so I didn't pay them any attention. The gym seemed louder today for some reason."What are you planning on doing with Lilly this afternoon?" Theo asked.I shrugged, "I was going to take her out to eat and then to the river. You know, maybe show her around the town. She hasn't been able to see much of it yet." I replied and he nodded."When are you going to introduce her to the pack?" Dolph asked."I have to talk to Dad about that. It'd be easier to introduce Rose at the same time. Hell, we might as well introduce the whole family then." I answered."Wait, what? Why would you introduce Jasmine and her mother to the pack? They aren't any part of
POV LillyThe next period felt strange without Griffin and Cedric. Luckily Axel and Dolph stuck by us and kept us entertained. They were both hilarious and I was glad to see Dolph getting along with Axel. I could tell that Vampires made Dolph nervous.Jasmine and I both felt a bit bad about how the football game went down. We were just so upset about Griffin and Cedric being overprotective. We wanted to show them that we could take care of ourselves. "I can't believe that move you did, Lilly! It was awesome!" Dolph laughed."Or the way Jasmine took down Mark? It was perfect! Did you see his face?" Axel added.The two of them were enjoying the situation far too much. I shrugged and Jasmine rolled her eyes and chuckled."You'd think that they'd learn not to underestimate us by now." Jasmine muttered and I agreed.The only reason we went so hard was because we saw Cedric and Griffin telling Dolph and Axel to "watc
POV GriffinI just laughed as Lilly glared at me. I pulled her over to my bike and put my helmet on her. She reluctantly got on the back of my bike in a bit of a daze and I took off, leaving most of the students staring at us in disbelief. I understood their stares. I was well known as a player. To the humans, it made no sense that I would suddenly fall for the new girl especially so quickly. To the Werewolves and Vampires, I had announced countless times that I would reject any mate and continue my player ways so to act so suddenly and rashly was shocking.But she wasn't just any mate. She was MY mate. She was special. She was perfect... at least for me. I couldn't even think about rejecting her. She was mine.I smiled in satisfaction as she held my waist closely. She cuddled into my back and I couldn't remember a time when I felt so peaceful and happy. Just my girl and me on my bike, going wherever the
Lilly POVI glared at Griffin as I answer the call. I know that this is going to be awful. Chance is going to kill me. He was a bit... protective, always had been even before and after we dated." Hey Chance! Good timing. I need to tell you something..." I began but he cut me off."WHAT. THE. FUCK. LILLY?!!" Chance spat and I cringed.Crap. I'm screwed." Oh, so you've heard..." I replied, faintly, glancing at Griffin who is looking enraged."Why did Evan and I just get a message from the Alpha of the Savage Pack that you and your family will be coming to the wedding with them? And then he added that you're bringing Vampires too? What the hell is going on? " he roared.I winced at his tone and Griffin snatched the phone away from me before I could stop him."You need to fucking watch how you speak to my mate." Griffin growled into the phone.I dropped my head back on the seat
