“You ready to do this?” It is the third time that Chad has asked her that and she is starting to get the feeling that maybe he is just a little bit nervous about what they are about to do. That was starting to make Lily feel a little on the anxious side and she was beginning to doubt herself. She was now questioning herself, wondering if this is a good idea. “Yeah.. I think that I am ready.” Lily stretches her arms above her head like she is about to go to battle and then she says quickly, “Let's do this and get it over with.” Chad stands beside her holding out a hand to take her clothes from her as she removes them. Dressing accordingly before. She had put on nothing but an oversized t-shirt and sweatpants. But now she hands the pants to Chad because she needs on as few clothes as possible. She is trying not to be embarrassed standing in front of Chad like this, but she is acutely aware of the fact that she is completely naked beneath this shirt. “Is Ty still in the bedroom?” L
“I don't think that I can do this.” Lily whispers the words as her stomach clenches with nerves. Her hands are shaking and she feels restless, much like she does when she needs to shift. The urge to run away is strong but she is fighting it. She just does not know if she should be. “What? Why not?” Turning to Chad, Lily admits her biggest fear. “They are going to hate me. Your family loves you. You all are all so close with one another and so very, feircely loyal.. I am the bitch that broke your heart and deserted you on our wedding night, mere hours after we marked one another. They could not have been thrilled about that. They have to think so poorly of me. Hell, I think poorly of me!” “Lily-” “I'm afraid to face them..” Lily whispers on a quick release of breath and Chad smiles. “It will be okay. They loved you once a much as I did and they know you are a good person. They do not hold any grudges against you, okay? If I thought this would go badly, I would never bring you
“Yep.” “Are we all supposed to throw a big party for you now that you have returned? The prodigal wife has deigned to come home and grace us all with her presence? How long are you going to stay this time around? Going to wait until Thanksgiving morning to do another runner are you saving it for a special occasion like Christmas or your anniversary?” Kimmy sneers. Her words break Lily's heart but she expected the anger. She knew that she could not just waltz back in here like no time at all had passed and expect everyone to just forgive and forget the past. “No, of course not. I had wanted a hello though but I am guessing that it just might be too much to ask of you.” Lily says, turning to go back to Adam's house to get her son. After the life she has had, the one thing she has learned is not to stick around where she is not wanted. “You couldn't have called? Not once in four years! We had no idea if you were okay or not! For nearly two years Chad wasted away, not eating, bar
“Of course you are staying here! This is your home!” “I will handle Darin, Lily. If he wants a fight, he will get a fight, but he will not like the outcome for it will not be in his favor.” “You can't leave again. We only jut got you back.” “You and Ty need to stay here.” Every word spoken still echoes in Lily's head as she lay in her bed looking up into the darkness. Bella's words, Adam's words, Fleur's and Cole's. Everyone in that room, really. It did not even take them seconds for them to make their decision. They chose to fight. All of them, every single one, told her that if Darin showed up to cause trouble, he would regret it, but that they would not let his sorry ass little threats scare them. And they most certainly would not let the threats of a bitter, disgraced alpha cost them Lily and Ty again. They all took turns telling her she needed to stay and how much they needed or wanted her there, and how they would never let threats intimidate them into thinking that her le
“Tyler Alexander, come back here! You do not try to go in that water by yourself!” “Lil, you are so stressed. Try to breathe and I don't know.. crazy idea here- relax?” Chad lifts his hands to her shoulders to massage the rigid muscles. “I can't when your son over there thinks that he is a mermaid and tries to go swimming by himself.” Lily tenses as her son moves to the water's edge, bending down to pick up a rock. She has images of him falling head first into the water and her not reaching him in time. “Alright, that's good to know..” Chad says suddenly, his random spoken words confusing her, momentarily drawing her attention away from their son. “Huh? What's good to know?” “You're a smother.” His quick answer causes a frown to settle on her face and he quickly amends his words. “I don't mean that as a bad thing. You are just a helicopter mom and you hover over him. It might be nice now but later on when he is trying to hang out with the other pups in the pack, he is not goi
“You found her? Where the fuck is she?” He listens to the voice on the other end of the phone as it answers him before he gives a sinister smile. “That dumb bitch..” Closing the phone with a snap, he drops it in his pocket before he turns in the direction of his former home. So, his little bitch went running back home to her mate, did she? He warned her about that shit. Now she was going to pay the price for running from him and disobeying him. No one makes a fool of him and lives to tell about it. Lily is probably living it up now, thinking that she is safe in her pack, with her snot- nosed brat and her meat head warrior of a mate, but not for long. The slut does not deserve happiness. But soon she will learn her lesson. She, and her precious little family, will pay the price for her betrayal. Lily was the happiest that she could ever recall being in her life. Things were going great for her. She and Kimmy had rekindled their friendship and Lily had grown even closer to
“Lil.. please stop.” He catches her arm just as she reaches her door. She pulls her arm from his grasp and turns quickly, but her anger fades slightly when she notices her son in his arms. “It's fine. Hiya, sweetie.” Lily smiles at the child who reaches for her. She pulls him into her arms, while carefully trying to avoid any contact with Chad's body. Lily is turning away to enter her room when his quiet voice stops her. “Please talk to me?” “What do you want to talk about?” Lily asks him. She knows that her anger is irrational and that he is probably confused by it. In his mind, he did nothing wrong. And hell, maybe he didn't. Maybe this is all in her head, who knows. She could be reading something into nothing, but this feels personal. “Not that it matters. It's probably best if we safe this for later.” “Lily, I didn't mean to be so brisk with you.” “It's fine. You don't want to talk. We don't have to talk.” Lily says to him as she steps into her room, ready to call it a night
Lily walks into the living room to find Chad standing in the middle of the room, looking around at it as if he had never seen it before. “Damn, it is so freaking quiet in here.” He shakes his head. “I don't like it.” “Yeah. Me neither,” Lily agrees. Lily has never spent the night away from Ty before and she has to admit that she is having a very difficult time with it. She missed him so much. It was barely seven o'clock in the evening and Fleur had not picked him up until four, so he had only been gone for three hours but it felt so much longer than that to Lily. She never should have agreed to this. But Fleur and Maury wanted to spend time with Ty and Chad had thought it might be nice to spend the evening alone, having a nice dinner and conversation. “He's alright, you know,” Chad says, giving her a small knowing smile. “I know,” Lily tells him because she does know that he is okay. If anything were wrong, Fleur would call her. Lily does not doubt that for a second. But even t
