Did you like how Osiris talked to Arden?
Lily’s pov Osiris kept his word, he had not hurt Arden. But he did mention at the end of the week that Riker had tried to get more information out of Arden, but it proved to be useless. Arden would only talk to me or show me where he was supposed to meet the two people in the car. I would go with Arden if it was necessary for the pack, but I was really happy Osiris didn’t want me to. I felt so bad for Arden in the beginning and I still didn’t want to see him dead or hurt, but I hated him for making me so uncomfortable. That is one of the things I loved most about Osiris, he valued consent more than anything. He always checked to see how I was doing and if I was still enjoying myself. I knew Osiris would never hurt me or do something against my will. Maybe it was my own fault though, I was dumb to put myself so close to someone I barely knew. I should have kept some distance Arya tried to reassure me “stop blaming yourself Lily. You were nice, that’s it. Nice doesn’t mean someone can
Osiris’ pov I was at the office when I felt the link of two pack members break. This usually meant someone had died. I heard growls, I looked out my window and was mindlinked at the same time “they’ve got passed the border and are headed to the packhouse.” I shifted and ran outside and jumped on the first rogue I saw. There were more than usual this time and they came from every direction. I mindlinked everyone who was available to fight and asked Jara what had happened. “There were too many, border patrol was just Mike and Carol today and they were killed. I am sorry Alpha, I’ve should have added more guards.” It wasn’t Jara’s fault, it had been quiet for almost a week after Arden and the other rogues had attacked us. “That can wait Jara, we need to focus on making sure the rogues don’t go into the city. Kill however you need, but make sure you leave one of them alive.” It was like the rogues kept coming. It was almost like they were targeting me. When I first heard they were h
Lily’s pov When the meeting was finished we all went to the dining hall to get something to eat. Emma joined us as well and Mia was already sitting there looking really happy to see Riker. Mia had a small boutique in the city where she sold jewelry and clothing. I had planned to visit her store soon, she always wore beautiful jewelry herself and I couldn’t wait to see what else she had. “I am so happy you are all okay” Mia said as she stood up and hugged Riker. They were really great together and had both made me feel really welcome from the moment I got here. I sat next to Osiris at the head of the table, then the Beta was seated with his mate and everyone else could sit where they wanted to. Emma and Jara were sitting next to me. We all started to eat, but Osiris just looked at me in awe “you really handled yourself well in our meeting. I would like you to join every important meeting from now on. I want you to be up to date to what’s happening in our pack.” I min
Osiris’ pov Lily suggested we go to Mia’s store together, she had been wanting to go there all week. I actually had asked Mia to make something for me, so it would be perfect. We decided to walk there, it wasn’t far and I liked showing Lily off to my pack. We walked hand in hand, our fingers interlaced and talked about small things. Is this what life is like with a mate, because I love it. “I told you finding your mate was important” Santos had to remind me, but he was right. I couldn’t imagine my life without Lily. It was nice seeing my pack through her eyes, everything was new to her and exciting. We walked passed her gallery and I saw she had finally put up some paintings up. She saw me looking “I am going back here after lunch, see if someone wants to come inside.” I squeezed her hand “I am sure someone will.” Lily stopped and looked up at me “I noticed you had some of my old paintings hanging in your office. I was too stressed that day to tell you, but thank you.” I smiled
Lily’s pov I woke up with Osiris’ arms around me. Damn it, I must have fallen asleep when he started touching me. It felt so relaxing. I had actually planned to have sex with him, but I guess he was right. I was really tired after spending the afternoon talking to everyone and selling my paintings. It had been fun though, I wasn’t used to people seeing my art and they all seem to like it. Osiris was lying behind me, my butt pressed against his stomach and something hard was poking me in my back. Well, if I missed my opportunity last night maybe I could wake Osiris up by surprising him. I slid out of Osiris’ arms and turned around, now facing Osiris and touched Osiris face softly. He was half awake now and looked at me puzzled with his sleepy eyes. I brought my hand lower and began stroking his erection up and down. A smile came on Osiris face “I don’t mind waking up like this.” I pushed softly against Osiris, letting him now he should lay down on his back and I positioned myself on
Osiris’ pov The next week went by fast. After I asked Lily to marry me we went to Riker and Jara’s parent. Alysia and Gerard Maudeux had always been there for me and it meant a lot they wanted to meet Lily. They had already heard a bit about Lily from her sister Emma. “We are so happy to have another Burton sister join our pack” Alysia said while giving Lily a hug “you look very different than your big sister, but you are equally stunning.” Lily blushed and thanked Alysia for her kind words. Before we left for Alysia and Gerard’s house we went by the gallery and I picked out one of Lily’s paintings as a gift for Alysia. Lily felt a bit shy about coming over with her art, but I knew Alysia would love it. I gave her the gift and her whole face changed “Alpha Osiris you remembered!” It was a painting of gerbera daisies, the flowers Gerard used to buy for Alysia when they were just mated. Gerard turned to Lily “you made this? It’s really good!” I mindlinked Lily, “see they love it”
Lily’s pov I felt some sharp pain in my ribs coming from Osiris, so I mindlinked him to check if he was okay. I knew he was going to see the prisoner. “Osiris are you hurt? I just felt some pain” Osiris sounded like he was fine, although his tone was very business-like “it is already healing, the prisoner tried to escape. I will explain later.” I was just showing April around “it’s really beautiful Luna, I can’t wait to start. I have some ideas on how we can improve your business.” I smiled “thank you April. I’d love to hear your ideas, but we have to keep prices low. I want the paintings to be available for anyone to buy.” April nodded “I will see how much you spend on making the painting and then add a small amount. This way your costs won’t sky rocket.” “You really know what you’re doing April” I said surprised. April looked down “before my mate died I did the accounting at one of the stores here. But I couldn’t function and wanted to spend the little energy I ha
Osiris’ pov Crap, I really screwed that up. I should have just come clean immediately after. She would still be pissed, but lying about it had made everything worse. “I am sorry Osiris. I never wanted our mate to be angry with us.” Santos said. “I know it’s not your fault. Like you said we both did this and I was the one who lied.” I went to sleep besides Lily. I wasn’t sure if she would let me touch her so I placed myself on the other side of the bed, facing her back. When I woke up I noticed my arm had extended itself to her, as if I was looking for my mate in my sleep. Lily had already got up and the bed was empty. I quickly showered and headed down to breakfast. Everyone would be joining us today, a lot of Lily’s family was showing up around lunch. I walked into the dining hall, but Lily wasn’t there. Did she go to the gallery already? It’s not even open yet, I asked myself. I mindlinked Lily, but there was no response. I mindlinked Emma, she was Lily’s sister she would know
