Chapter 2: I Want You Back Lily!

Five years later!

“Destroy the Blood Moon Pack!!!” Fireflies warriors chanted as they stood around Alpha Dylan, and in the next minute, they were all marching towards the borders of the Blood Moon Pack. The moment they got there, they destroyed the sign board and rushed in, ruining buildings and heading towards the palace.

“Alpha! The Fireflies are here again.” A guard reported to Alpha Xander.

“Gather the warriors!” He ordered and got up, heading towards a room. The moment he got to the door, he kicked it open only to find no one there. “Where the hell is she?” He spat in anger and ran towards the terrace with arrows whizzing around him.

“Destroy the Blood Moon Pack!” The Fireflies yelled as they started firing arrows all over the palace, causing a commotion. The weak omegas ran for their lives, and the warriors of Blood Moon took over.

It seemed like the Fireflies were prepared as ever, though. The arrows they threw nonstop were clear evidence. “How dare you all?” Alpha Xander screamed from the terrace, his voice as loud as ever. They paused for a moment and then made a clear path, revealing who they were serving. At that moment, Alpha Dylan showed his face, looking brutal as ever.

His red eyes scanned the whole palace and soon landed on Xander, who seemed to have refused to step down. “What now? You can’t face me anymore?” Dylan mocked and scoffed. “Destroy!!!” He ordered. The battle began, but then magic started occurring in the air, to the shock and amazement of Alpha Dylan. All the weapons that were being exchanged somehow got hung in the air and seemed to be coming together as though they were grains being gathered. The Fireflies’ warriors stopped out of fright and staggered back a bit, including Alpha Dylan. “You aren’t as powerful as you think!” He growled to no one In particular. “Are you that it? Show your freaking self and stop hiding in the shadows.” He yelled this time louder, and the warriors of the Blood Moon Pack suddenly divided, creating a path that revealed a young female dressed in white, squatting with her back facing the Fireflies and one of her hands in the air.

While the Fireflies were trying to grasp the sight in front of them, she got up slowly and turned to look at them, her hands still in the air but her face covered with jewelry. “Don’t you think you are the greatest, Alpha Dylan? I have got something you don’t have. An Oracle!” Alpha Xander bragged from the terrace, this time his palms were in his pant pockets, but Dylan had more things to worry about. This woman before him looked like someone he may know, but the power and confidence she seemed to be exuding made him rethink. Suddenly, with her other hand, she pulled out the jewelry, finally revealing her beautiful face and familiar green eyes.

Alpha Dylan and the Fireflies warriors staggered backward a bit more on seeing who it was.

“Lily?” Alpha Dylan couldn’t believe his eyes.

Lily, with her now strong aura and confidence, gazed up with her might and controlled the weapons she had hanging in the air. Just when no one expected, she sent them straight to all the Fireflies, ending every single one of them except Alpha Dylan, who watched in horror. “Brush up, little man! This is just a warning to you. Don’t mess with the Blood Moon Pack anymore!” Lily spat, not shifting her deep gaze from him.

Alpha Dylan couldn’t move as he stared at this familiar but not familiar woman. He remembered the last time she looked into his eyes; her green eyes were filled with tears and fears, but this time, her eyes were beautiful yet icy and screamed power. In fright, he ran out of the Blood Moon Pack and under the watch of the Blood Moon Pack. Everyone then burst into laughter except Lily, who didn’t give a hoot about it and stormed inside the palace’s main building. “That was beautiful, honey,” Alpha Xander praised as he blocked her path in the hallway.

“I’m not in the mood,” she spat with no emotion.

“That’s right!” He said and raised his hands in surrender, and she walked past and got into her room. The moment she shut the door, she sat on the floor, not knowing how to cry or even laugh.

The next day was inspection. Lily got up really early and made her way to the borders with a few warriors and a Beta to make sure everything was in place. “I can’t believe those Fireflies tampered with the sign board. They have got real nerve,” one of the warriors complained, and it caused her to walk away from the borders. She hated conversations about the Fireflies.

She walked into a nearby forest to pluck a favorite fruit of hers, just as she had been doing in the past five years. After bringing down some with her swords and watching as they dropped into the small lake, she stopped to pick up the fruits when suddenly someone beat her to it. She didn’t bother to check who it was. “You don’t touch my fruits,” she spat a warning.

“But I can eat your fruit. At least I had a taste of it before the mating ceremony five years ago,” the familiar voice came through. Stunned, she turned only to see Alpha Dylan standing before her. Not wanting to have a conversation, she gave up her fruits and turned to leave, but he grabbed her hand.

“You know that has got some consequences, right?” She questioned.

“How have you been all these years? Are you the powerful she-wolf engaged to Alpha Gabriel? He’s my biggest rival. You can’t do that!” He asked her.

She looked into his eyes. “He raised me; it’s only okay I give him my life.”

“He doesn’t love you. He’s only after your gifts,” Alpha Dylan spat, sounding really desperate, causing her to shove his hands away from hers. “I want you back, Lily!” He muttered, this time with so much humility and confidence.

Hearing that, she didn’t think she had any word for him, so she walked away without looking back.

Alpha Dylan moved back, nodding his head. “I have to get you back,” he whispered quietly as he watched her leave, and when she was nowhere in sight, he disappeared into the woods.

Back in the Fireflies Pack palace, he stood on the luxurious terrace as his world drifted into the last encounter with Lily. She has changed a lot. That wasn’t something he had expected to see, but he guessed five years was a really long time. “I am your fiance, I deserve more than what you did hours ago. Please don’t do it again,” Lena spat from behind, looking and sounding very bitter.

“Are you spying on me?” He questioned without turning to stare at her.

She looked down in guilt and played with her short black hair as her brown eyes darted around. “Ummm, not at all. I just feel like you did something that isn’t right.”

“I am Alpha Dylan Blackwood. I never do wrong things!” He spat in response and ordered that she leave.

She stared at him, trying her hardest not to make the mistake of lashing out at him, and then she marched away in anger. Alpha Dylan’s eyes softened again as he then thought about Lily. He remembered searching for her the day after he rejected her only to be told that she never went home. After several investigations, he found out she had walked out of the Fireflies Pack, and that was where he lost hope of seeing her again.
