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
was Lily right to be angry with Osiris? Should he have handled this differently? thanks for eading, I love to hear from you. As you might have noticed I used some of the names of people who left gems on this story. I hope you don't mind. it's hard thinking of new names every time and I wanted to thank those who leave gems for me.
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
Lily’s pov I couldn’t sleep, I was so used to having Osiris close to me and I was too worked up about our fight. So I decided to go out for a run, I left Osiris a note in case he would wake up when I was still gone. didn’t plan to run long, I just needed to blow off some steam. I shifted and started to run didn’t even know where I was running until I got to the tree, our tree. It reminded me of what was important. I would be joining the Iron River pack tomorrow, I would become Luna. I hated that Osiris had lied, but everyone makes mistakes. I sat there for a while and thought I will run back and I will wake up Osiris. We could sort this all out. I stood up and started to run back, until I felt a small sharp pain and felt dizzy. I fell down and my eyes closed. When I woke up I was naked, felt weak and my ankle was tied to a chain. I didn’t know where I was, it looked like a small hut. Osiris mindlinked me and I told him I was scared and tied up. I saw a wolf coming closer and the doo
Osiris’ pov Hi Lily, I’ve been writing you letters ever since the day you were taken. I know it’s silly, but it’s the only way I feel close to you. I just pretend you are back at your old pack and reading my letters like you used to. It’s been three days now and I am going crazy. We found two soldiers just across the border, we had clearly been attacked by a wolf. At first we thought they both were dead, but one was still alive although barely. We’ve been trying to get him back to health, at least healthy enough to question. Why would someone rescue you from those soldiers only to take you for themselves? Is the family of my mom that’s behind this all? There have been a few attacks this week, not big ones like before though. I am ashamed to say I’ve let some of my anger go in these attacks. Santos is missing you and Arya too. We both blame ourself. I should have never lied to you or killed that soldier. If I was a better mate you wouldn’t have gone out by yourself that night. I woul
Lily’s pov Before Arden left to get more wolfsbane, he dozed me with another wolfsbane dart. It looked like it was the last one. I tried to fight him off, but I regretted this immediately. I hit Arden in the face and tried to run, but Arden grabbed the chain making me fall over. He pulled me by the chain towards him and sat on top of me. We were both naked and he sat on top of my stomach, holding my arms down with one hand. His other hand held the dart. I saw him look down to my breast full lust and felt he was getting hard. He pushed himself against my body as he looked me in the eye, “I said I wasn’t going to hurt you, but you’re making it really hard for me.” He looked down at his erection, “really hard.” I pleaded with Arden, tears coming to my eyes, “I will behave, I promise. Just don’t hurt me.” He bend down and kissed me. I tried to move my head away, but he placed the dart down besides my head and grabbed my chin. “Just one taste,” and he shoved his lips against mine rou
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
