What did Arden do and should Lily be worried Ramsey might hurt her even worse? I hope you still like my story. It started as a Jane Austen type story, but I wanted to add some more obstacles for them. So there is a bit more action and violence then in the beginning. let me know what you think and I will try to leave a note under your comments. gems are welcome too!
Trigger warning. Violence, suicide and (attempted) rape. Lily’s pov It was a lot colder for me now that I couldn’t reach the fire, especially at night. Arden would rather sleep in wolf form, he was used to this. So he slept outside of the cabin. That was at least one piece of comfort, that I could sleep knowing he wouldn’t bother me. I still woke up every night a few times, missing Osiris and Arya, shivering because of the cold or out of pain, because my leg hurt badly. During the day Arden would hunt for food. Which seem to becoming more difficult, because he came back without food and with a terrible mood each day. I was starving, surviving on berries and water. I was pretty sure it must be the water where he put the wolfsbane in, there wasn’t much else I was eating or drinking at that point. The water tasted off, it was bitter and it gave me stomach pain. I had been here over a week now and I was getting desperate, so I decided to drink less water than I needed to. I knew you c
Osiris’ pov We had ran through the rogue territory, splitting the area into sections. I went furthest back, because I was one of the fastest. I am coming for you Lily, I thought to myself. “I won’t let you down Osiris,” Santos said. “I know my friend,” I replied as we kept running through the woods. I had Jara with me and a few other soldiers. I ran ahead, while Jara tried to reign me back, “we have to stick together, just in case people try to attack.” But I didn’t listen and ran following my nose in search of Lily’s scent. I knew that scent like no other, I loved that scent and I was sure it would lead me to her. The further I got the more I smelled it, cinnamon and apple. But it wasn’t as clear as usual, it was mixed with dirt and sweat. I stopped for a second when I heard a loud scream and the roar of a wolf. “It’s there, I know it,” Santos said and he took over and ran towards a very small cabin. It was hidden behind some trees and I smelled Lily all over it. I didn’t wai
Lily's pov I’ve been sleeping most of the time, waking up to another visit each time. My friends have even stopped by and everyone one of my sisters. Even Isabella was here with her kids. I had never met the youngest, who she carried in a sling. I didn’t have much energy yet, but it felt so great to see everyone and I was honored that they all came to see me. Some of them treated me so carefully as if I was a delicate flower that would break. Others pretended nothing had happened and chatted about little things that had happened while I was away. I wasn’t away, I was kidnapped by a crazy man who thought he loved me. And I wasn’t delicate and fragile, I didn’t need to be pitied. But my mother hugged me, cut some of my hair that couldn’t be saved and washed the rest. I told her everything that had happened and she didn’t look at me with pity, she cried a little and gave me a hug. She told me how strong I was and how proud she was of me. Osiris spend every night with me at the hospi
Osiris’ pov Lily was finally able to come home, but had to leave straight away to go to her old pack. I just feel saver with her there, there have been too many attacks here. She is letting me know when she arrives back home and then I’ll leave for my meeting with the Midnight Blood pack. Luna Isabella has been a great help, getting this meeting ready on my behalf. I could of course just attack the Midnight Blood pack and it has been on my mind for the last few weeks. But that could mean the loss of many lives. Plus I feel some kind of loyalty towards my mom to at least try to figure things out with her old pack. That doesn’t mean I am going to just take whatever they’ve done and pretend it didn’t happen. They tried to take my mate, they’ve killed my soldiers and they’ve attacked me. I am taking Riker with me and some soldiers. I’ve also sent some scouts ahead to see if the Midnight Blood pack is setting up a trap. We are meeting at another pack, a neutral territory for the both o
Lily’s pov I left early in the morning and just arrived back at my old pack. It’s nice being somewhere familiar, but I feel like I am betraying my pack. I am supposed to be there Luna, but yet I haven’t joined them officially and I am not there when times get tough. “Yeah, but you’re in no shape to fight right now and being here calms Osiris down,” Arya tells me. I know Osiris needs me to be here, I can feel how stressed he is about this whole meeting. He doesn’t want to risk a war, but he can’t let people hurt the pack and get away with it either. My mom brought me to my old room. “What do you want to do today Lily? Do you want to paint something? Or meet your friends?” I shook my head, “I don’t think I am ready yet to paint happy pictures of flowers.” My mom took my hand, “you don’t have to paint happy things you know.” I stared at my room, covered with paintings of beautiful flowers and plants. “Honey, maybe we could get you a proper haircut?” my mom said as she ran her fing
Osiris’ pov Jara and Riker are getting the pack ready for anything. Alpha Gabriel had offered to house our elderly and kids if needed, their pack is only across the border from us. So when Luna Isabella’s scouts see any movement from the Midnight pack everyone who isn’t able to fight is heading their way. I’ve been discussing strategies with Riker. We could always attack first, but that would leave my pack vulnerable. Kendrick has used rogues before, so he could send rogues to attack my pack while I am out fighting his. So now all we can do is wait. I wish I had Lily here, she is always great at distracting me. Just her presence usually calms me down. But I need her safe until she is fully healed. I can sense how bad she is feeling all the time. The guilt, anger and fear that’s coming from her worries me. But when I mindlink her she doesn’t want to talk about any of it, I guess she feels like the upcoming attack on our pack trumps her feelings. When my parents died I closed their ro
Lily’s pov I was out running with Brooke when Osiris mindlinked me. Osiris had send two guards with me, but they had kept their distance most of the day. Especially when my mom was around, my mom felt she could protect me just fine or her own. I asked Brooke to join me for a run, I felt so uneasy at night and Arya hadn’t been able to run for so long. But I knew Osiris would get really mad if he found out I went out by myself and honestly, I was scared to go out alone. The last time I went for a midnight run I was shot with a dart and kidnapped twice. I might be the Luna of one of the ruthless Alpha’s, but right now I felt more like a pussy than a wolf. “Hey stop insulting yourself Lily, I though we were passed that. Weren’t you all about selflove and growing more confident?” Yeah, that was before my confident ass landed me in this situation. I thought I knew better, I thought I could tell Osiris what to do with his prisoners and I thought I could just go out in the middle of the n
Osiris pov I don’t know what I expected when I sent the letters. Was I naïve in thinking that Kendrick would change his mind once he found out his mother didn’t just leave him behind so easily? “At least your mom can look down and see her letters have finally arrived at their destination,” Lily had said a days ago. She was really proud of me for sending the letters, even after what Kendrick had done. “I am doing this for my mom and for the pack.” I had told her. I had hoped that Kendrick would feel terrible guilt for his actions. I still felt guilty for being mean to them before they died and he had actually killed them. “You know I think you need to be a normal person to actually feel guilt,” Santos said “not a psychopath.” It only took three days from the moment the letters were delivered, until Luna Isabella let me know the Midnight Blood pack was on the move. I mindlinked everyone to get on high alert. The kids and elderly went to the Blood River pack and the rest us prepare
