POV Lilly
I was drifting off on Griffin's shoulder, he was so relaxing and I obviously didn't get much sleep last night. I had a suspicion that I wouldn't get much tonight either so I figured I should take the chance to catch a bit of sleep. Hopefully I could fall asleep and sleep through most of the flight. I was a nervous flyer so anything to make it go quicker was good.
I heard more people boarding but didn't really think about since Griffin was still relaxed next to me. Suddenly, I heard a gasp and felt Griffin tense.
"Aww, shit." he mumbled as I snapped my eyes open to see my mother and aunt staring at me.
No, not at me... at my neck... Fuck! At my mark.
"DID YOU MARK MY DAUGHTER?!!!" my mother screamed at Griffin.
I tried to jump up but my seat belt was still fastened and I was just jerked back into my seat. I heard Jasmine try to cover a laugh at that and I made a mental note to kill her later. Quickly I unfaste
POV LillyWe met the others downstairs. I could see that Jasmine was as excited as I was to see our old friends but the rest of the group just looked worried. I could feel the anxiety rolling off them. I exchanged a look with Jasmine and we both sighed."Is that everyone?" Skol asked.We all looked around and I did a mental count."Yep. We're all here." Nik announced."Okay. Remember, nobody goes off alone. Protect each other no matter what. If things go sideways, meet back at the airport, agreed?" Skol continued making a point to look at Penny, Mom and me.We all agreed and then piled into the limos again. As
POV LillyThe ride back to the hotel is quiet as we all seemed caught up in our own thoughts. We said our good nights in the lobby and Griffin and I shared an elevator with Cedric, Jasmine, and Dolph."Dad want's us to meet for breakfast at nine back in the lobby." Griffin told us as we waited for the elevator to reach our floor. Luckily, Skol was able to rent out this whole floor for all of us. Pack warriors were stationed at the elevators and stairwells. Speaking of, a few warriors met us and one walked Griffin and I to our room while another did the same for Jasmine and Cedric. Another tried to do the same for Dolph but he waved him off.Griffin unlocked our door and the warrior went in to check the room. I leaned against the wall in the hallway and Griffin caged me in with his arms. I looked at him and he just stared at me. It was unnerving. His eyes were dark and while a casual observer would think that h
POV LillyGriffin and I finished dressing. I wore a slightly more formal black gown and he wore a suit. I just loved the way he looked in a suit. I finished with my hair and makeup and turned to him. He grinned at me and pulled me to him by my waist. "How are you more beautiful every time I see you?" he whispered.I moaned at his line but still felt the butterflies in my stomach. He chuckled and kissed me softly. I pulled him closer and things were about to get heated when there was a knock on our door. Griffin growled as I pulled away but went to check the door."What do you want?" he asked as
POV GriffinAs soon as we found the source of the smells, I knew it was a setup. There was blood splashed everywhere and dead rogues tossed around but they had all been dead for quiet a while. Hours, maybe even days. Someone had staged this for the scent. I mind linked with Dolph, Theo, Penny and the others to warn them as I rounded to look at Evan. I was about to accuse him of being involved but he looked just as confused and then panicked as I did. {Griff?} Penny answered.{This is a set up} I began.{Shit. Griff!} she called but then is silent. "I can't link Alyssa!" Evan said to me in a panic.Alyssa, something about her has been bothering me all night but I can't put my finger on it and I haven't had the time to think on it.I kept trying to link the others as my panic rose. I exchanged a look with Dad and can tell that he's doing the same. We don't waste a moment in turning around a
POV GriffinI've never felt so helpless in my life. My mate bond isn't working. I have no idea why. I couldn't sense Lilly at all. At first, we thought it was because Lilly was knocked out but now I'm not sure. It's alarming to say the least. I keep hoping that she's just knocked out longer since she's both werewolf and witch but Dad can't feel Rose either and that worries us both. In a strange twist of fate, Lance the human is our only hope right now. The doctors were wrong about the werewolves waking before the humans. Whatever silver these assholes are using, it's potent."How could you have a contact with the Coven?" Dad demanded after Lance waved off the doctors and took a sip of water.Lance took a deep breath and looked over at the bed next to him that contained Theo."Will he be okay?" Lance asked with a look of panic."He will be fine. Now spill." Nik replied."I haven
POV GriffinLance called his Grandmother as soon as we handed him a phone. After explaining the situation, Lance handed the phone over to Dad. Dad spoke with her for a few minutes outside in the hallway and came back shaking his head. "Your Grandma is something else, Lance." he smirked."That she is." Lance agreed with a chuckle.Skol turned to the rest of us."The rebel witches were already planning to save Rose and Iris. Jericho isn't selling Jasmine or Lilly for some reason. They were going to attack as the Coven traveled back with them but the rebels didn't have much hope of winning. They are more than happy to accept our assistance and attack at the pick
POV JasmineI heard my mother's scream for Lilly as my Aunt Rose was working at freeing me. She was having a hard time with my shackles. I looked over in horror to see Lilly fall down as Chance opened his eyes and I knew what she had done. She had done what we had warned her over and over about. I gasped at the blood coursing down her cheeks from her eyes. She had used the last of her magic to save Chance. She was dying. My mother looked over at me as she caught Lilly and my mom smiled and nodded with a look of peace. Mom grabbed Lilly and whispered something. I saw light flash between them and my mother slump down. I looked on in horror as my Mother gave Lilly all her magic in one second. I knew that if we didn't reach her in a few seconds, there would be nothing we could do. Her face was already covered in tears of blood."Rose! Take care of my child!" Mom yelled as Rose finally got me fre
POV LillyI was in a daze. I had no idea what was going on any longer. I remembered finishing with Curtis and then crying over Aunt Iris. Then Griffin picked me up and I just let go. I knew that he would keep me safe so I tuned out. When I came to, we were in a room in Evan's pack house sitting on a bed and Griffin was washing blood off my face with worry in his eyes. He gently rubbed my face with the cloth, wringing the water and blood from it occasionally into a bowl on the nightstand."There, that's better, right, baby?" he whispered and I nodded, my eyes clearing.He gave a sigh of relief when I made eye contact with him."There you are." he breathed and p
