MasukDean We had finally taken her to the hospital once she passed out. The doctor had told us she had ovarian cancer, and it came as a shock to us.That was why she said she was dying. That was why she fainted at home. For some reason, a part of me wanted to believe her while the other didn't want to. For all we knew, she might be lying about this too.Eventually, the doctor walked out and told us we could go in and talk to her. My brothers and I walked inside the room. Lillian had her back rested against the bed, a pillow sitting right behind her back as she watched TV. The minute we walked in, her gaze shifted to us, and she dropped the remote and cleared her throat.I got close to her side, my hands on hers as I held them for encouragement.“How do you feel? You've been out for at least an hour.”“I feel better now that you three are here.”There was a certain silence in the room before I cleared my throat. “Why didn't you tell us?”“I didn't think it was something to mention. I've be
Sloane I stood there like a pile of salt and waited for them to say anything. They watched Lillian and me and said nothing.Not a single word.I looked back at Lillian, who just smiled funny, her hands wrapped around her waist as she smiled triumphantly. I didn't waste any time as I picked up my phone and walked out the door.Before I could reach the gate, Hunter followed behind me, calling for me to stop, but I didn't listen. I wasn't going to look back at him, not after they had just pulled whatever the fuck it was.Eventually, he caught up to me and held my hand, stopping me mid-track. I turned to him, furiously staring as he withdrew his hands immediately.“Don't leave, please. We can sort this out.”“This?” I waved my hands around in the air in demonstration. “This is just pure madness. Did you think you would be able to hide that from me, huh? I knew something was wrong, but finding out the same person I looked up to caused my accident is not the way I wanted my day to go, Hunt
Sloane“You aren't coming with us?”“That's a fucking lie. I will go with you three.”Dean growled, and he and Logan looked at Hunter, who shrugged awkwardly. I won't lie, when he told me about them meeting Lillian, I shook.They had gotten her pregnant? I mean, I know Lillian was the one with them, but I didn't know she was pregnant for them.“What's your problem? Do you genuinely not want me to come, or is there something else? Because from everything I can tell, it's the fact that you three are still keeping something from me.”Hunter hadn't told me anything, only the fact that he and the others were going to meet Lillian. He had told me about a child, and it's quite confusing. I won't lie, it made me feel… insecure a little.I needed to know what child they were talking about and if she really had a child for them. What would that mean for me and the boys? They would have a responsibility and would need to focus on their child and Lillian.“Fine, you can come with us, but please t
Hunter “What do you mean she was the one who planned the murder?”“She was,” I said, but I don't think it was sinking into my brother's head. They had always loved Lilly and had always held her in high esteem.“I didn't think Lilly would do something like that.”“There's also something else.” I paused, and they both looked at me patiently, waiting for me to continue.“I think she had a child for us.”Dean poured the brandy into his mouth, Logan dropped his cup harshly onto the glass tabletop, while I just sat there, ready to tell them all I knew.“What child?”“Did she really say that?”“How do you know that?”“She told me, remember? She explained that she did, but I don't remember ever getting that information... I mean, the last time we…”I didn't finish my sentence because I knew they wouldn't want to hear it. We all care about Lilly, and hearing that we hurt her every day makes us feel so bad. We know we hurt her when she told us about wanting to be with us.But that wasn't the
This is a flashback chapter that would consist of one scene. If you haven't read Chapter 67, please refer to that chapter to further understand this one.Lillian“Oh, come on, Lillian. You've got to tell them you have a crush on them.”“I don't… It's not as easy as it seems, Camilla. I mean, they haven't even…”“They haven't done what? Girl! You're in a relationship with the Alphas. Sure, they change women like you change your clothes, but they care about you, Lillian. Everyone in the pack knows it.”I looked back at the pregnancy strip in my hand, smiling as I rubbed my chubby stomach. I had only known about this pregnancy for two days, and I knew they would want this, but I was scared.What if they don't want the baby? What if they think this was all a fake?“Hey, hey, I know what's going through your head right now. No, don't touch that child. Can't you see the Moon Goddess is planning everything out? First, you got your doctorate degree and you work at the biggest pack hospital in
Hunter What…child?“What child?”“I don't know what you're talking about. You need to leave,” she said, dropping her hands as she pointed to the door.“No, I won't.” I stood my ground, taking it up with her as I waited for her response.“What child?” She didn't agree to look at me, and then, all of a sudden, her phone started ringing.“I don't want to talk about this, Hunter. I don't know what you heard, but you need to leave.”“Now!”I nodded, waiting for her to say something, really anything, but she didn't. She didn't even open her mouth to speak, and I knew it was my cue to leave.“The police will be in touch with you for the murder.”“Are you serious?” she said just like that, and then I turned back. Good. I've gotten her attention now.“You still want to put me in the scene? Even when—”“You committed the crime. You did it, and it's only right for me to contact the officer.”She stood straight, her hands at her sides as she looked at me.“Talk, or else I leave, and I'll tell Of
Sloane I never thought I would cry for a man, but here I am—frozen, my ass exposed to the wind—as I bawl, watching my boyfriend go balls-deep into my best friend.He'd told me he would be working late today, a line he'd been using too often. So I decided to surprise him, wearing nothing but sexy l
Sloane“I told you we were handling it. You didn't have to come back here.“Sure, this is definitely handling it,” I said, sarcasm filling my tone. That only annoyed him more; his jaw tightened.He grabbed my wrist, stopping me from moving away. “Get in the car, Sloane.”I tried to pull free.“Let
Sloane“Mom!” he shouted. “A little privacy, please.”She stopped mid-track with just enough time for me to stick my head out of the water, breathe properly, then shove it back under.“All right then, I'll be waiting for you downstairs,” she said and walked out of the room. The moment she was gone,
Sloane Traitor? I looked at my brother as if he suddenly had two heads growing on his neck.“Kris? What is going on, and why are you calling me a traitor?”“Because you are one. You think I wouldn't know about the fraud?!” he shouted.I shook with fright and tried to steady myself, staring at him.
