#Chapter211Lila's POV."We need to go now!" I ordered as I marched into the kitchen.I thought hearing his voice would calm me a little, but it's only made me worse. After what Melanie and Celeste told me, my anxiety and stress levels are through the roof. His voice was raw and scratchy, he's struggling with something, and I hate that I'm not there. I need to see him with my own eyes to know he's ok. I can't wait until tomorrow to go... I need to do this now.My dad, Darius and Levi were sat around the table; they glanced at me as I came in. "Lila, you know the protocol." My dad sighed. Levi smiled sadly at me.I huffed, slapping my hands against the table, leaning forward. "That was before I spoke to Alarix..." I took a deep breath and sighed. "He needs help, and he needs it now." I snapped.Dad raised his brow at me as Levi sighed, shaking his head subtly, and Darius was smirking at me... I have no idea why he's looking at me creepily, but I'm too focused on my dad agreein

#Chapter213Lila's POV."We only have one brother." Celeste hissed at Athan.He's the reason Alarix didn't get to me. What was he trying to do? Take me into the woods and completely take me out? Take me out of the equation, so the prophecy can't come into play?"Why would you tell me your name is Arnie if it's not?" I shot."Because if you knew who I was... I didn't think you would come with me." He shrugged."You're damn right I wouldn't." I snapped."You're the reason he's not here with me right now," I snarled.I was seething. My heart was beating erratically; it was the only thing I could hear. My body was shaking violently, and I clenched my fists together. Lola was trying to break free."I had to stop him from coming to you... I didn't want to, but I couldn't go against my father." He groaned.I growled at him as my canines released, my claws protruded from my nails, causing them to dig into my palms. My dad stepped closer to me, "Lila, calm down." He warned."I cant."

#Chapter215Lila's POV."Lila?" My mum's voice rang out in my head, bringing me around.A wet snout nudged my arm. I flickered my eyes open and came face to face with my mum's wolf. I smiled weakly, pulling myself up. I rubbed my eyes before looking around."Are you ok?" She asked through the link. I nodded, sighing.I'm not sure exactly what happened, but what I do know... He didn't want to reject me. If he did, he would have done it no matter what. If he meant what he said, I'd be dead right now. There's no way I could have fought them off with me feeling like I did."You're going to need to shift, baby. There's a lot of vampires here." She mentioned."Have you seen Alarix?" I asked nervously.She shook her head. I sucked in a breath before I started taking my clothes off to shift. I shifted then shook my fur out. It felt good to be in my wolf form."Lila, Alarix has been spotted in the forest behind the house," Elias proclaimed as he ran into the room.I turned and trott

#Chapter217Lila's POV"Mum, Dad, this is Alarix... My mate." I announced, smiling up at him.Dad held his hand out, and Alarix just stared at it. "Shake his hand," I whispered, giggling.He placed his hand in my dad's, "it's nice to meet you, Alpha." Alarix greeted."Please, call me Leon. I'm so glad you're finally here." Dad smiled at him.Dad smiled at me before mouthing, "I'm happy for you."I knew they'd welcome him. I've been waiting for this moment for six years. To be able to introduce my mate to my family.Mum grabbed ahold of Alarix's hand and smiled sweetly at him. "I'm Ayla. It's so lovely to meet you." She greeted."Hi." He greeted sheepishly.He looked a little overwhelmed and bewildered. I don't think he expected them to be so welcoming. I don't know how he's going to cope going back to my pack. They're going to swarm all over him. I'll have to get dad to warn the pack before we get back."We'll see you tomorrow, kids. We're going to get some sleep; it's bee

#Chapter219Lila's POV."Your land is stunning," he commented as he looked around the area.His whole body was tense as we drove through the pack gates. He gaped around, taking in the sights. He looked shocked and maybe in awe. He didn't relax until we left the main streets and drove through the little country lane that led to my house.1"Being back in the countryside is amazing." I smiled to myself. "I hate the city... I don't like the noise and smells." I cringed, chuckling."I can't believe I used to live so close... I'm from Burscott." He murmured. I glanced at him and gasped. "We moved not long after the seer visited us." He whispered.I sucked in a breath as my house came into view. Burscott isn't far from Clovelly at all. If he hadn't moved, I would have found him years ago.I pulled up outside of my house and switched the engine off. I turned in my seat and took a long-winded breath. "I searched for you," I sighed.He smiled at me weakly. "I think I did too. I used to
