Any idea why the rogues attacked? I wanted to add some excitement to the story now that Osiris and Lily are mates. So I will be a rough 2 weeks before Lily finally joins the pack officially.
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
Lily’s pov After breakfast I took some food with me down to the dungeon. I was grateful that the guard and Osiris had decided to tie up the rogue differently. He sat down on a small bench, his feet locked together by some chain and his hands in front of him tied together by another set of chains. He could move around his cell and bit now, walking like a penguin almost. I stepped in front of his cell and showed the man the food I had brought. “Hi, I don’t know if you remember my name. It’s Lily. I wanted to bring you some food. Do you mind if I come in the cell?” The man looked at me surprised and nodded. I opened the cell door and handed him a piece of bread. He shoved it down his throat as if he hadn’t eaten in days, weeks even. I handed the man a piece of apple cake and I think he even moaned. “That good huh?” I laughed. He looked up at me and started to laugh with me. He stopped and I handed him some tea. He was still naked, but because he was sitting down I didn’t have to avoi
After showing Osiris just how thankful I was we went to buy some art supplies for me. I felt so inspired by my new gallery that I wanted to start painting right away. The Gallery wasn’t that far away from the packhouse, so I could either walk or drive there easily. Osiris had some work to do still, so after we bought the supplies he left for the packhouse while I stayed behind. I didn’t realize the time, until Osiris came inside the gallery. “I am here to take you back to the packhouse for dinner” he said and I jumped into his arms. I had painted three new paintings and I had ideas for more. Osiris looked at them all and complimented my work. It felt really nice to be appreciated, painting was always something I did in my room and not a lot of people got to see it. We drove back to packhouse, there was no time to change so I sat at the table in my dirty shirt and jeans covered with paint splatter. It was nice that nobody cared how I looked, this was starting to feel more and more lik
Osiris' pov I hated how much time Lily was spending with Arden. She was too kind for the world. I didn’t know why Arden was talking to her, was her strategy actually working? I knew people would do anything to make pain stop and that would mean talking. But sometimes people would just make stuff up when they didn’t have any more secrets to spill. Using violence wasn’t a sure thing and I would rather spend my time doing something else. Although Santos did like the idea that we beat the guy who was spending so much time with our mate. Having Lily with me at my pack has been wonderful and once she would officially join our pack things would even get better. I just wish I could mark her soon. “So why don’t you?” Santos asked. “I want it to be her choice,” I replied. Santos laughed “you know she can’t read your mind. If you want something you have to ask her.” I had woken up and went to breakfast with Lily, but she soon went down to the dungeon. I know this was the last day, but still.
Osiris’ pov As soon as Lily was done telling me about Arden I wanted to go down to the dungeon and tear that piece of shit in half. Talking to my mate like that! Making her feel so uncomfortable. Lily was our Luna and no one should be able to disrespect her like that. Lily must have felt my anger, because she stood in front of the doorway and said the only thing that could distract me right now. “I want you to mark me”. I have thought about it every day, every time I saw that gorgeous neck. I already knew the precise spot I was going to mark her. I picked Lily up and she put her legs around me. I walked her over to my desk and sat her down. I needed an outlet for my anger and I kissed Lily passionately. I took down her pants and ripped away her underwear, making Lily gasp. “Too much?” I asked and Lily shook her head and pulled me close for another kiss. Her hands went down to my pants and she opened my zipper, releasing my manhood. Usually I liked to spend some time on foreplay, b
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
