Lily’s pov
I have been avoiding Noah like the plague at school. I was never popular, but people knew me as one of the Burton sisters. They knew not to bully me since my dad was the Alpha. But during the weeks I was dating Noah people actually learned my name and greeted me in the hallway.
But everything is back to normal now, I have lunch with my friends in the drama classroom and everyone either ignores me or whispers about me behind my back. I try to sit as far away from Noah in class, but in some classes it’s harder to avoid him. Luckily Sasha and Aubree are there to back me up.
The first few weeks I was sad, but the rose-tinted glasses have now been removed. I know see Noah for who he is and what his real intentions were. I am not even sure I was actually in love with him or if I just liked the idea of a boy liking me. In the last 2 weeks I have seen him flirting with 3 different girls, he is trying to get around as much as possible before his bi
Lily’s pov Noah had his birthday 3 weeks ago, he had been bragging non-stop about his wolf. He hasn’t met his mate yet, but I pity the woman that gets him. Angelina left with Jayden two weeks ago to travel the world and get to know each other. They already seem so in love, it’s really cute to see. There are a few more weeks left of high school and then we all graduate. My parents told me I could join Emma this summer at the Blood River pack, now that Angelina is not coming. They say it’s really beautiful there so I am looking forward to painting all summer and spending time with my sisters. I will miss Sasha and Aubree though. Aubree’s birthday is after mine, but Sasha’s birthday is just before the summer. She is still going strong with Oscar, so let’s hope he is her mate. I think they’ll both be heartbroken if that is not the case. Emma came home looking all smug one day. She wouldn’t tell me what was going on, she said “just wait.” She has been tra
Lily’s pov It felt great getting pampered and it was a nice distraction for Sasha. We got manicures and pedicures, facemasks and massages. At the end we got our hair done and our make-up. Sasha wanted to look nice for Oscar, although she was doubting herself at every turn. “I should have ended things months ago. What if we’re not mates. I should have stopped seeing Oscar after his 18th birthday. I am so dumb.” Sasha kept rambling on. Oscar graduated last year, he was one of Angelina’s classmates and he had his wolf for a year now. The hairdresser was a great help. She not only gave me advice for my curls, but she was really kind to Sasha. “Honey, if Oscar is not your mate at least you have these wonderful months with him. Isn’t it better to have love, even if it was for a short time?” Sasha agreed, she wouldn’t have missed these months with Oscar. Even if in the end they weren’t meant to be. The hairdresser told me to try t
Osiris’ pov I did not understand what was happening. I didn’t even found Lily attractive the first time I met her and now she’s been in my mind for months. Did I enjoy being yelled at? Did I have enough of women agreeing with everything I did? Santos seemed to think so, he was mocking me every time I had another woman over. I had sex with them, but I wasn’t really enjoying it. My mind kept wondering off, thinking is this it? Will the rest of my life just be like this, having meaninglessness sex with women I am not interesting in? As a solution I tried to date Jenna for the last month. Maybe I just needed to try and be monogamous. Be with one woman for a while and get to know her. Jenna was kind, great in bed and a great cook. Plus she was really beautiful. Long legs, tight ass and some great abs. “I would rather have someone with some meat on her bones, some cushion for the pushing” Santos joked. “Whatever Santos. You were the one who has bee
Lily’s pov It was finally Summer break. I just graduated, I was no valedictorian like my sisters, but I had done well and my parents told me they were proud of me. I was looking forward to spending the summer with my sisters. Angelina was enjoying her travels with her mate and was marked a while ago. She told me it was even better than expected, feeling connected to Jayden in a whole new way. Emma and I were packing our clothes, I had been wearing my hair down for the last few weeks. The curly girl method took a while for my hair to get used to, but now my curls were looking better than ever. It was a lot of work, but so worth it. Noah might have been an ass, but he had taught me that I should love myself more. I shouldn’t compare myself that much to others and embrace my hair and my curves. It was easier said than done though, sometimes my insecurities came crawling back. Especially when I saw what Emma was wearing on our trip over to the Bl
Lily’s pov I saw Alpha Osiris and a woman talking in the waiting room. The woman was really cool, she had short hair and a bunch of tattoo’s. She wore workout clothing which fit her muscular body perfectly. She must be Gamma Jara, Alpha Osiris mentioned her to Emma on the way to the hospital. Emma stayed with me while the doctor explained how I should take care of the cast. It shouldn't get dirty or wet. I just had to wait for my paperwork as Emma stepped out to talk with Alpha Osiris. Jara had left and Emma looked like she was crying. Did that man insult her too?! Emma came back and told me Alpha Osiris offered his packhouse to stay at, for me and Emma for the week. I refused at first, but Emma practically begged me to stay, without mentioning the reason. I knew Emma had been wanting to train again and Alpha Osiris’ pack had some of the best fighters around. It was only one week right? How bad could it be, Alpha Osiris was probably bus
Osiris’ pov After Lily and Emma agreed to stay at my packhouse I immediately went shopping. I asked Jara to join me so we could talk about Emma. I wanted to buy some things for Lily to make her more comfortable this week. I bought some plastic covers for her ankle, some paint supplies and I mindlinked the omega to stuck the mini fridge in Lily’s room. Jara and I had dinner in the city at a nice Indonesian restaurant. I ordered the sauto soup and said “I asked Emma to stay at the packhouse this week so she could get to know you.” I saw Jara’s face light up “so she doesn’t want to reject me? I was scared she hated me.” I didn’t know how Emma felt, I just told her to give Jara a chance for her own sake. Rejection is awful, I had seen it happen once or twice at my pack and those people were absolutely heartbroken. “I think she is just scared,” I said trying to sound kind. Jara was 2 years older than me, so I was always the annoyin
Lily’s pov For some reason I don’t understand, Alpha Osiris wants to show me around town tomorrow. I had spend yesterday in bed most of the day, but today Emma has promised to do something fun with me. I woke up, still a bit sore and took a shower. I hadn’t dared to take another bath after last time, but a shower was safe especially with that stool. I just sat there for a while, letting the hot water run over me. I hated this, having a cast and feeling so useless and vulnerable. I let my hair air dry, not wanting to waste time with anything today. I put on a dress summer dress, because slipping shorts over my cast seemed to be even more difficult. I grabbed my crutches and made my way to the elevator. Then I walked to the dining room, happily sitting down in the first chair I could find. I didn’t even look where I sat down until I noticed Alpha Osiris smiling at me. What was his deal anyway? I couldn’t help but notice how nice Alpha Osiris has been the last few days, but I couldn’t u
Osiris’ pov Fuck, I forgot about Jenna. She really didn’t deserve this, but I was too preoccupied with Lily. I can’t believe she just showed up and Lily was there to see us. There goes my attempt to make a good impression. “Just end things tonight with Jenna and then starts fresh with Lily tomorrow. It’s just about her getting to know you, you’re not going to profess your love right?” Santos said. Let’s just hope I can salvage this and break up with Jenna without causing a scene. I went to work, but it was hard to focus on anything right now. Luckily Riker helped me snap out of my thoughts by asking me about Jara. “I think Jara found her mate. She seems so happy, but won’t tell me anything about it,” Riker said. He would find out soon enough, but I promised Jara and Emma some time to figure things out so I lied. “That’s nice. I hope so.” Riker laughed “now only you are left. You’ve been really kind to both of the Burton sisters, but especially Lily. It suits you, this new you tha
