Osiris’ pov
Getting Lily’s letters were always the highlight of that day. Even Riker started to notice that I was smiling a lot more. He was teasing me about it and questioning my reasons. I didn’t want to share the letters yet. I couldn’t risk this. Writing a note was Santos best idea yet and he never let me hear the end of it.
“You can be actually nice when you think about your words,” Santos said.
But it wasn’t just that I was thinking before I wrote, I think I felt comfortable with Lily. That is why I wanted her to call me Osiris, having her call me by my tittle made the letters too formal. I wanted her to know we were equals in our letters. I hoped she wouldn’t take my request as something strange. It wasn’t usual people to call me by my name, even Riker and Jara called me Alpha and they were as close as family as I had.
We have had more rogue attacks lately and it was getting to the pack. No one was seriously hurt, but people were on hi
Will release chapter 28 and 29 at the same time so you can see what happens.
Lily’s pov I didn’t know what to do after reading Osiris’ last letter. I just read it over and over again, knowing how carefully he had chosen each word. I believed him, Osiris really didn’t mean to hurt me. I was probably a bit sensitive in those moments, because he said things to me that I told myself in my head numerous times. I had always believed I was less than my sisters, that I wasn’t as smart, that I talked too much and that I was dumb for falling for an idiot like Noah. Osiris had hurt me, because it was like he knew all my weaknesses. But reading this letter made me feel different. I had worked hard on myself to see my weaknesses as strengths. Yes, I talked a lot. But that could be useful, I was able to small talk and fill awkward silences easily. And I was different from my sisters, but that being different didn’t mean I was less worth than them. I never thought of myself as brave, I thought it was stupid that I defended myself against Osiris in the past
Osiris’ pov Ever since I read Lily’s letter I have been thinking of a way to respond. I had not expected her words. Lily had actually felt something when we kissed. But what? And why did she tell me now? What did she want from me? How could I write everything I was feeling in a letter? I had spent 5 days thinking of a response, everyone was noticing I was more irritable with each passing day. I needed to know what Lily meant, I couldn’t wait any longer and I left on some ‘business trip’. I first needed to calm down, so instead of driving I just shifted and ran until I couldn’t anymore. When I arrived at Lily’s pack I got dressed in the shirt and shorts I had tied around my leg. They weren’t exactly proper attire, but I didn’t care right now. I had no idea what I would say to Alpha Edward, but I was in luck and he wasn’t at the packhouse. Instead the head omega Doretta opened the door and looked almost scared to see me. I asked for Lily and after a while Dore
Lily’s pov What did I just do?! Osiris said those wonderful things and I just had to see him. But then I felt he was my mate and everything changed. I wanted Osiris in every way. I was so scared about having sex with Noah, but with Osiris it felt so natural. I didn’t think, I only felt. And what I felt was love, lust and pleasure. But when Osiris carried me to the shower my mind started to work again and I needed time. So I asked if our wolves could spend some time together instead. I really wish finding my mate would squash every worry I had, but it made me worry even more. Did this mean I was going to be Luna? “You heard Osiris, he said he wanted you to be his Luna and you are his mate. Why are you so worried Lily. You even marked him!” Arya said as Osiris and I were walking hand in hand to the forest. “I know, it was in the heat of the moment. I never knew the mate bond would be this strong. I feel like I can’t resist Osiris. I mean look at him. He is so h
Osiris’ pov "Should I be worried that Lily is still scared?" I asked Santos. “Everything will change for her. You are just gaining a mate. The only thing you’ll be losing is having different women in your bed. Which judging by last night and this morning won’t be an issue,” Santos said. He was right, I had no problem with the fact that it would only be Lily who I would be sleeping with for the rest of my life. No one compared, every time she touched me there were sparks flying and I could be myself with Lily. I mindlinked Riker and Emma if they could help me make sure Lily felt at home when we went to my pack in a few days. Lily was getting dressed right now, while I took a shower. She didn’t want to join me this time saying “we’ll never leave the shower if I join you.” Lily wanted me to meet her friends later today. I have been many things, but I have never been someone’s mate. I was used to not caring about my reputation, not caring
Lily’s pov The last two days have been like a dream, but sometimes I feel my thoughts about the future sneaking back up on me. Especially today, my parents will come home and I will tell them about Osiris. And me. Being the Luna. The Luna! Am I really ready to be someone’s Luna? I am not even sure I am ready to be someone’s mate. Up until now being someone’s mate has been pretty easy. We talk, we have sex, we eat something or go outside and we have sex again. But I am pretty sure there is more to being someone’s mate than just being there for them in the bedroom. Although Osiris does seem to enjoy our time in my bed very much, if we go back to his pack Osiris needs to go back to work. He told my friends I have a say in pack politics, but I don’t know anything about politics. I know I didn’t like it how Charlotte had no voice as a Luna, but now that I do have a voice I have no clue what to do with it. Do I need to learn how to be a Luna, is there an exam I can take? “Calm down Lily!
Osiris’ pov Finally we would be heading back. I have loved this little vacation with Lily, but I needed to be there for my pack. And I wanted to introduce everyone to their new Luna. I had always been to stubborn to admit I needed a Luna, but going to Lily with me was already proving to be the best thing I had ever done. I felt happier than I had ever felt and knew my pack could only improve by having Lily as their Luna. She was smart, kind and she had watched her family run a pack for years. Furthermore she wasn’t scared to speak out against me. I needed someone to put me in my place once in a while. Riker had tried and Santos was always nagging from inside my mind, but Riker still had to follow my commands as my Beta and Santos could be ignored if I wanted to. Lily had a power over me that none other had. I let Lily say her goodbyes, while I waited in the car. The journey here I had done as wolf, but I’d rather drive back with Lily than run again. Luckily Lily had gotten a car of h
Lily’s pov I woke up and checked the time, I had only slept a short while. I got dressed and walked around the packhouse in search for Osiris. Ever since I had woken up I had felt strong feelings through our mate bond. Osiris might not be able to feel me yet, but I felt anger and fear very strongly. I needed to see if he was okay. I walked around the ground floor, the rest of the packhouse was mostly quiet. The omega’s were busy getting dinner ready and Beta Riker was probably still working. When I walked past a big steel door I heard muffled screams. A soldier was standing near the door and I asked him if he knew where Osiris was. He wouldn’t give me a clear answer until I said “I am your future Luna, let me see the Alpha.” The soldier opened the door which led to stairs going down. I ran down the stairs, hearing the screams becoming louder. I yelled “Osiris are you –” and stopped when I saw it wasn’t Osiris who was screaming. A man, covered in dirt and blood was hanging with his
Osiris’ pov Lily came to dinner surrounded by the rogue’s smell. I had to show her I trusted her, that I would give her these three days. I knew it would lead to another fight or worse. I had said she had a voice in this pack and if I stopped her now, it would look like I don’t value her input. But why did she have to involve herself in how I question the prisoners? It’s not like I am beating them up for fun, I am trying to make my pack save. Trying to keep her safe. I can’t imagine what I would feel if Lily was badly hurt by those rogues. I just got so angry when he wouldn’t say anything. Not even a word during his beatings. When Lily came in I must have looked like a mad men, beating the crap out of someone who was tied up and couldn’t even defend himself. “But that’s how we get answers,” Santos said. Yes, that’s how we’ve always done it and how my father did things. I know Lily’s approach won’t work, but I also know I have to give her a chance anyway. For our future together. “C
