Lily’s pov
I’ve been trying to get Asher to drink on his own, with help from the nurse. It’s going better each time and the doctor believes that if he doesn’t need the feeding tube anymore he could come home this week. I’ve been with Asher in the hospital for almost two weeks now, Osiris comes by as often as he can. This isn’t how I envisioned the first two weeks of my baby’s life would be. I thought I would get to take him home with me and now I have to ask permission from the doctor or nurse to hold him. I know they’re doing their best and they know better than me, but once Asher is home I am taking him everywhere with me in a sling. I don’t want that baby out of my sight. “Are you turning into Osiris?” Arya joked. “I might, I am understanding his behavior much better now. I always felt he was exaggerating, but right now I would do anything to make sure Asher was safe.”
Osiris entered the room and saw me nursing Asher. He kissed the top of my head and then

Osiris’ pov Asher has been home a few days, which means it’s really time for me to go handle this whole Alpha Bernard situation. His feeding tube has come out and he had gained enough weight. Asher is turning into a little chubby baby and it’s so cute. I hate leaving Lily and Asher alone, especially since Lily has been a bit emotional since giving birth. “A bit?! Her hormones are all over the place. Don’t tell her I said that though,” Santos said. I wouldn’t dream of mentioning the word hormones to Lily right now. Just yesterday she was upset with me because I didn’t have sex with her yet. I told her I wanted to wait until she felt ready, it’s a lot for a body to go through. She started to cry “you hate how I look don’t you? I’m too big now? My stomach isn’t back to normal, my boobs are huge and I feel like a freaking cow giving milk every few hours.” Honestly Lily was still the most beautiful woman on earth to me. Seeing her give birth made me only apricate her mor
Lily’s pov “Hi Alpha Gabriel. Osiris just mindlinked me to check if everything is okay. Should I be worried? Is the pack under attack?” Alpha Gabriel looked nervous “it might be.” I was getting nervous now, but I was holding Asher in a sling around me and didn’t want to send out any negative vibes his way. I don’t know if baby’s work that way, but I knew baby’s are sensitive. Who knew what he could pick up on. Alpha Gabriel looked at me again and his soldiers came into the packhouse “This will soon be over.” I didn’t know what Alpha Gabriel was talking about “what do you mean?: Alpha Gabriel pointed to the sofa in the living room “just sit down for a bit. Don’t worry.” Telling me to not worry only makes me worry more, but I knew I wouldn’t get anything useful out of Alpha Gabriel right now so I mindlinked Riker. “Riker are you in your office? Alpha Gabriel is here and he is acting really weird. Saying that everything would be fine if Osiris just does what he is aske
Osiris’ pov “I know why you’re here. I know you want to punish me and take over my pack, but I have another offer for you. I want your pack and the Midnight Blood pack in exchange for you mate and son.” I growled, I didn’t answer but mindlinked Lily straight away. “Lily are you safe?” Lily replied “yeah, one second. Alpha Gabriel just came by the packhouse with some of his soldiers to check if everything is going okay. What’s going on?” Alpha Gabriel couldn’t be betraying me right? He has been so helpful the last few times and I was just planning to see how I could reward him for his trouble. He was Lily’s brother in law, I was sure I could trust him. Well, I was until a moment ago. I didn’t know who to trust now. Luckily I didn’t have to wait long before Alpha Bernard told me everything. Apparently evil Alpha’s like to give big speeches before they plan on taking over your pack. “First Alpha Kendrick and now this?! Less talking, more fighting.” Santos said
Lily’s pov “I am sorry my love. I don’t know what to do?” I had no idea what Osiris meant or why none of the wolves that were around me weren’t moving. They were wolves from our pack, I recognized their scent. So why weren’t they attacking Alpha Gabriel. “I am free, it’s okay Osiris.” Osiris sounded sad when he said “it’s too late. I have already signed the pack over to Alpha Bernard and Gabriel.” I was so mad. I was free, I would have been able to save myself and Asher. Osiris didn’t need to give the pack away for me. This pack belonged to him, it was our home. “He was just trying to save you” Arya said. I knew she was right, but what fate were we headed to now? What would happen to our pack? Could we even live there now? I didn’t have time to ask Osiris any of the questions. Alpha Gabriel had the biggest smile on his face and looked towards me “throw her in the dungeon.” The wolves around me shifted back to humans and gently walked me towards the dungeon, while wh
Osiris’ pov “I don’t know what to do” I said. Lily sounded concerned “I am free, it’s okay Osiris.” I made a split second decision. I knew that if Alpha Bernard heard Lily was free he would go back to that bunker and we would lose even more wolves. Alpha Gabriel had only send a handful soldiers the first time, but what if he send even more to fight my pack. I wasn’t going to sign over the pack, but if I could get Alpha Bernard out of the doorway of that damn bunker I could kill him and stop this whole thing. He just needed to believe he was actually winning. “It’s too late. I already signed the pack over to Alpha Bernard and Alpha Gabriel.” I said. I was so sad that I had to lie to Lily, but I knew her face would reveal the truth if she knew what was really going on. I mindlinked Riker and Jara to let them know what was going on. The rest of my pack would have to believe the lie that I was actually giving those bastards everything they were asking for. I couldn’t tr
Lily’s povHearing that Osiris didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth hurt at first. But when I thought about it I wasn’t sure if I could have lied the whole day. If I could have bit my tongue when Alpha Gabriel and Charlotte talked to me. Would my face have revealed the truth? Osiris told me that the pack wanted to get me out of the dungeon before he got here. I was really honored that they would go against Osiris and get me out. That they would risk their lives for me. Osiris would be giving a speech later today to clarify everything that happened, but he first wanted to check if Asher and I were okay. He carried Asher up to our room while Osiris held on to my shoulders. “I am so happy you’re both safe,” Osiris said “and I am so proud of your quick thinking. I knew you’d escape Alpha Gabriel.” I turned around as soon as we entered our room. “Can you hold Asher for a bit, while I take a shower. It was
Osiris’ pov Lily came home and I felt the surge of sadness come from her. I take it seeing Charlotte didn’t go well. I didn’t know how hard it was losing your mate, but I had my share of loss. The only reason I showed mercy was for Lily’s sake and really hoped it wouldn’t bite me in the ass. “My love, do you want to talk about it?” I said as I looked at Lily. “No, I just want to hold Asher and sniff his little head for now.” I handed Asher to her. We had spend the time she was away at my office. He laid asleep on my arm while I tried to type with my free hand. It went slow, but I didn’t care. Having him with me was worth it. I mindlinked Emma, maybe Lily would feel better sharing with happened with another sister “Lily just talked to Charlotte and seems upset. Could you come here?” Emma replied “Yes Alpha Osiris. I will be there soon.” She paused “thank you for always taking care of the pack and my little sister.” I smiled, happy Emma was a part of my pack and my fa
Lily’s pov It’s a month later and I still feel really bad for Charlotte. Some part of me is also angry at her, I wish she would see that Osiris did the right thing. In time I hope the pain of rejecting Gabriel will hurt less. Rejecting would hurt less than feeling your mate die right? “Yeah, rejecting hurts less than losing your mate.” Arya said, “but she didn’t just lose Gabriel, she lost her life as a Luna of a pack and she knows how wrong Gabriel was. I think it’s everything Lily. Just give her time. You have enough on your plate.” I did have a lot on my plate like Arya said. I was dealing with Asher who is now almost two months old and he is making more noises and he smiled for the first time. Like a real proper smile. I planned on going with Osiris everywhere he went, but I don’t want to bring Asher to the Dark Wood pack or the Blood River pack just yet. Not until everything has settled down. Getting everyone to bow down to Osiris hasn’t been easy. At least at
