I tell her, but who was I kidding, even I was shocked at how horrified i was about the entire incident. They should never have gotten past the treeline never mind as far as the packhouse.
“East is secure”“So is the south”“And the north”“West is now secure alpha but the gamma is on his way home, he has been shot”“Crap, Matt was hit”I tell everyone racing out of the front door again“I need warriors guarding my back door tonight, someone blew a hole in it”“Yes alpha”They all agree as I reply to them through mindlink—————-Lilly’s POVIt had all happened so fast, I woke up with a roaring pain, it had ripped straight through my chest, a pain I knew all too well.one of our warriors had died and their link to my soul had been ripped apart, leaving a lasting memory behind.Suddenly awake I was thrown into a war, one that I hadn’t been prepared for, the rogu“Really? Like fully ok?”Emma’s voice asks from the corner, she had barely talked the entire time, she didn’t walk back and forth, she just sat there looking at the wall. I felt for her but I also wanted to scream at her. To cry, to show some sort of emotion but nothing, it was like she was numb to it all“Maybe that’s a good thing”Dain whispers“Yeah, she said he’s ok”She drops her head into her hands and to my surprise she cries, sobs, I just watch her, unsure if I should comfort her or stay away from her “Pat her shoulder or something”Dain snaps impatiently, now that she was finally crying he wanted her to stop because it was annoying. I gently walk to her side and I Pat her shoulder “It’s ok”I tell her, she lifts her head up looking at me, her chin wobbles as she nods her head then to my shock horror she grabs my waist and cries into my stomach, my arms automatically go into the air as Dain gr
Lilly’s POVA warm wash of love starts in my heart and spreads throughout my body, I feel blood rush through my veins, racing to every part of my body. Heat starts in my toes and spreads, as it does I feel a weight on my chest, it wasn’t heavy, it was comfortable, familiar. Layla groans rolling and looking at me, only then did I realise I was inside my mind, numb to everything but the heavy heat on my chest“What happened?”She groans, I push of the floor of my mind and I look around, trying to remember anything “Matt? Matt got shot?”I wonder“And we healed him?”She yawns, stretching. I nod “Yeah, but then?”Layla’s eyes snap open and she sits up with a gasp“Shit we nearly died!”I look at her confused, I didn’t remember that?“What? When?”“After we passed out, shit we need to get out of here”She snaps getting up and grabbing my arm
I snap sitting up straighter“When he realised the kids were not with her he apparently threw a fit, she said that we had taken them like we told her to say, anyway instead of staying in the room she jumped into his car and now we have no idea what’s going on”I jumped off drake and went to the stand to the side where my phone lay. We had briefly talked about her changing my name in her phone in case something like this happened, but to get into his car was way off the plan, we can’t keep her safe if we are not by her side. “What are you doing?”Drake asks, throwing his legs out of the bed and stretching his arms “Ringing her”“No lilly, it might tip him off”I clear my throat and shake my head “It won’t I promise”I press the ring button and I send a silent prayer to heaven hoping she took our hypothetical conversation to heart before she left the hotel room. It rings twice and then she an
She closes her eyes taking a breath to relax “Thank the heavens”“And is he mad at her?”Little abby asks, I shake my head “No he’s not, she was able to answer the phone and talk to me as normal, she said I was her friend June, he let her talk so I don’t think he’s mad”She grins up at Lou“See I told you he wouldn’t kill her”“I know, but it’s still scary, he’s so unpredictable”Lou answers taking Abby’s hand and squeezing it“Come, let the Luna go, she needs to prepare”I smile at them both and wag my fingers as I climb into the elevator “When this is all over we are going on holiday, I need a damn break”“Agreed”I answer drake when a thought pops into my head “Matt? Is he—““He’s more than ok, he’s downstairs and ready to fight, you saved him”I relax a little nodding my head “And Emma?”“She’s good, she’s better t
“What’s got you both smiling like that?”“Well we wanted to make sure yesterday never happens again”Drakes head snaps towards them“And we wanted to make sure that they couldn’t use the potion they used before on you again”Caron adds with a wink“What do you mean?”Caron pulls out a jug of blue liquid “Chug a few gulps, it will increase your power, make you stronger, your strength will break through any potion that tries to stump you”“Do it, take it now”Drake takes it from her and he shoves it into my arms, I smirk up at him“I plan to, calm down babe”“Sorry, I just got excited”He tells me, waiting for me to drink it. I open the lid and recoil in disgust as the stench of processed banana hits me“Ewe why does it smell like that”“Told you you should have flavoured it with strawberries”Caron snaps at vincent, he rolls his eyes“Just d
She snaps, I chuckle taking her hand but as I do a man comes charging behind her, I rip her back behind me, sending her flying as I stick my claws straight out through the stomach of the rogue, grabbing his guts and pulling them out of his body. “Ewe”Fiona heaves as he falls next to me, I push of the ground and wipe the blood of my hands and hold it out to fiona“Oh come on, since when has a little guts ever scared you”I tease her “Would you both stop kidding around”Ben snaps from across the way, we both roll our eyes at the same time“Oh stop being a grump, we are smart enough to do both at the same time”Fiona scolds him, 3 men come racing towards us just as Ben gets surrounded, one dives for my legs, hooking his arms around them and yanking me off my feet, another lands directly on my chest as the other fights fiona.“This is the bitch!”The one on top growls “Oh I know! I can
“Don’t touch him”Layla shouts through my lips“What? Why? He’s huge”The man asks wide eyed, eyeing him all over“Because he’s huge, I want to keep him”I hear drake growl from behind me“Lilly you are not allowed to keep anyone but me”“Not like that silly, he’s enormous, I think we can turn him”Layla tells him excitedly, he looks at him then pauses, his eyes widen slightly at the Sight of him“Holy shit he’s the size of a house”“I know! Isn’t it fantastic”He groans“Fine keep him, lock him up if you can manage to get him back that is”“Oh and the boy, he surrendered, put him in a clean room with fresh clothes and some food”The man looks at drake for permission “Don’t look at me, do as the Luna says”Drake snaps, I grin triumphantly at fiona who snorts jumping to her feet and running into bens open arm, drake rolls his eyes and comes
Abby screams as both marten and Helen collapse on the ground, marten was already dead but Helen gasps, grabbing her throat as she looks to Abby who drops the knife, catching her shock in her hands and taking a step back as her eyes water, she shakes her head as her body starts to tremble “It’s not your fault”“Mmmmm—mummy”She croaks as I race to her side, I land on my knees beside her and I pull on all my power, pushing the wound closed I heal her, my power fills her up as she gasps for breath, but just as I thought she could breathe her body gives out and she collapses, her heart stops and her eyes lay openAbby screams, falling on her backside and crawling back away from her as she sobs shaking her head “Noooooo”Lou falls on the ground sobbing into her hands, shaking back and forth. Everyone just stands in shock, such a bittersweet moment, the moment we had all been waiting for was finally over but along with that goes the
