l would love to hear your opinion. leave a gem or comment. we finally know why the rogues were attacking Osiris and this means war.
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
Lily’s pov I’ve been training every day, in the morning I meet with Noah and practice fighting as a human and in the afternoon I spar with the soldiers. It’s only been a few days, but I feel a bit better knowing I am getting my strength back. I am pretty sore though every night, but luckily my healing powers also works for sore muscles. I know Osiris is anxious about the pending war that’s coming. It must be so hard to just sit around and wait for them to attack. “Well we’re waiting just the same,” Arya said annoyed. I knew she wanted to go back to the Iron Moon pack, just as much as I did. I was feeling stronger and I wasn’t that sad anymore all the time. The nights were the only thing that were still hard for me. When it was dark I would think back to the cabin and how scared and helpless I was. This morning I started training with Noah again. I was learning his weaknesses and could almost beat him. He was slow, but he also favored his right side. Noah tried to hit me with his ri
Osiris’ pov I honestly don’t know if I would have survived this battle if Lily and the extra soldiers didn’t show up. We could have handled Kendrick and his men if he hadn’t used rogues to weaken us in the beginning. And if he hadn’t brought soldiers with guns and silver bullets. “These are all just excuses, it was our own fault Osiris” Santos said. He was right though. I am so used to handling things on my own at my pack, but in hindsight I should have asked for help. I didn’t hesitate to accept help from others when Lily went missing, but I needed to defeat my brother on my own. My stupid pride got in the way I guess. I never needed anyone’s help to fight my battles. Lily and I walked back to the packhouse, both wounded and exhausted from the fight. We didn’t say a word and just walked, holding each other’s hand as we walked up the stairs, into our room and into the shower. Lily and I stood in the shower holding each other close, letting the water poor down on us. Lily was the fi
Lily’s pov There was some discussion on what to do with the Midnight Blood pack, for starters they are hours away which makes it a bit tricky for them to merge with our pack. Secondly none of us has ever been to the Midnight Blood pack and we have no idea what kind of pack we are dealing with or who is left. So eventually it was decided that Osiris and I would be visiting them together with some soldiers. Beta Riker would stay behind to make sure our pack was in order and everyone who needed help received it. Although most of the fight was in the woods, there still was some damage down to the city and to the farmers. I had told Osiris and the rest that I didn’t want to wait to join their pack until after we returned. I’d feel much better knowing I could mindlink everyone and be able to talk to them when we were away. So tomorrow we are doing my ceremony at night and soon after we will drive to the Midnight pack. We’ll arrive early morning. I sometimes wish I could have the big ceremo
Osiris’ pov After we ran with the pack we went out on the road. I let Lily sleep while I drove, a few cars with some of my soldiers were behind me. It would take a while for us to get there, but I wasn’t tired. I was too nervous to be tired. I didn’t know what to expect once we got there. I had taken over other packs, but none this far out. And most importantly none that my mother grew up in. When I was little I always wondered what her previous pack was like and what type of grandparents I had. Were they still alive? Would they even want to know me, Kendrick most certainly did not. Kendrick had sent a lot of soldiers my way so I knew at least he had a large pack. Luna Isabella had told me they were known in the area for training their pups from when they were young. We also trained our kids, but it was more to learn how to defend themselves in case of an attack. I wondered how different the training at the Midnight Blood pack was. We drove for hours, only s
