Mag-log inDear Readers, I hope you enjoyed this long chapter ? Brace yourself because as truth unfolds and the past comes to light , Lily’s story is about to take a different turn …Can her love with Rex still survive this ?
“What does that even mean?” I asked as Amber looked just as unsettled as I felt.“I don’t know,” she admitted still trying to trace a scent . “In all my years as a healer, I have never seen anything like this.”I let out a disbelieving laugh, I just couldn’t believe anything she had to say now , Who knows ? She might be lying to me, again .“Of course you haven’t.”Amber kept both hands on the steering wheel, but she wasn’t driving anymore. The truck remained parked by the side of the road .“I have seen hybrids with weak wolves,” she continued. “I have seen dormant wolves, unstable wolves, and wolves that awakened late. But I have never seen someone lose their human scent and not replace it with a wolf scent.”I swallowed hard.“So what am I? So you are saying you have no idea what your daughter may be ? Is that what you are saying ?”Amber turned to me, her eyes was filled with so much concern.“That is what we need to figure out and why we need to go back to Raven pack immediately
My scent mask. I wasn’t wearing it. My eyes widened as though someone had poured cold water over my body. How could I have forgotten something so important? I had stopped wearing the scent mask on the very first night I arrived in Centervile. There was no reason to keep applying it here. No werewolves surrounded me. No one was watching me and certainly no one needed to be deceived. At least, that was what I had thought. But now Rex was standing right in front of me, his arms still wrapped around my waist, his scent surrounding me, his heartbeat was pounding wildly against mine. Rex should have noticed immediately. He should have stepped back and realized that I smelled different. He should have sensed that something about me was wrong and the fact that he was still holding me so close just made me even more confuse . The only explanation I had for why he had not reacted the first time we met at Amber’s was that there must have still been traces of the scent mask li
( Lily’s pov) The days just kept moving painfully slowly, and on top of everything else, I was sick.I had no idea why my body had suddenly become so weak. My skin looked pale, almost lifeless, and my eyes burned like I had not slept properly in weeks. At first, I tried to blame it on the weather, but that excuse didn’t make any sense. I had lived in Centervile my entire life. Spending a few months in Raven didn’t mean I could no longer adapt to my own hometown.No.This was something else.Maybe it was because I cried myself to sleep every night, my heart felt like it had been ripped in two.The past few days had been unbearable.One minute, my life had finally started to feel sweet , And the next minute, everything collapsed.Nothing felt sweet anymore.Nothing even felt sour.Everything had turned bitter.I had gone through every possible emotion in the span of a few days—anger, betrayal, fear, longing, and sadness.And through all of it, there was one person I could not stop thi
.The late afternoon sun was beginning to sink behind the trees as Rex made his way back toward his quarters, he was so distracted that he almost walked straight past his father.The Alpha was standing near the stone path with his hands clasped behind his back, staring out over the grounds.“Rex.”Rex stopped and he considered pretending he had not heard him.Unfortunately, his father was not a man one could ignore.“ Dad ….what are you up to ?” “ I’m going for a walk ,join me …” “I’m tired,” Rex said.His father turned to look at him.“That is precisely why we should walk .”Rex exhaled slowly.“I’m not in the mood.”The Alpha raised one brow.“That was not a request…I’m asking you to join me .”Rex clenched his jaw, there was clearly no point arguing.“Fine.”His father nodded and began walking, Rex started walking beside him.It was not an awkward walk because neither of them spoke, it was what might come out of his father’s mouth next that made his slow walk uncomfortable for R
Rex had barely slept in days .For the past few nights, sleep had become something he only visited briefly before his thoughts dragged him awake again. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Lily..“ A few days…” .Rex rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling of his room.It had already been longer than that.He had read Lily’s letter so many times he could memorize the words in it , she had ended the letter with a sentence that he had read over and over again .I promise… I will be back soon.Soon.“ What did soon even mean?” “ Two days?” “ A week?” “ A month?”Rex threw the blanket off his body and sat up on the edge of the bed.The pack house was quiet except for the distant sounds of wolves already beginning preparations for mating season.That only made everything worse.Mating season was supposed to be something he looked forward to.He had spent years wondering who his mate would be.Then Lily happened.And for the first time, he had stopped caring about destiny and s
I barely heard Monica when I stood up from the chair.My head was too full and yet I understood what this meant , I was probably tricked to return under the guise of buying time to talk to Liam , I didn’t have full answers to my questions and I really didn’t want to misunderstand the situation but nobody seemed to be saying the truth .“ That’s it ..I have had enough !” I said and stood up to take my leave . .“Lily…please wait ”I was already heading for the front door.“Lily, wait.”“ I do not have anything to say to you …” I replied as Monica hurried after me, By the time I reached the front porch, she caught my wrist.“What now?” I asked.“Please don’t do this.”“Do what?”“Shut everyone out.”I laughed bitterly.“Everyone has been shutting me out for years, Monica. I think I’ve earned the right to return the favor.”Her shoulders sagged.“I know you’re hurt.”“…Please …Just let me be .”Monica remained quiet.I shook my head.“I don’t even know who I used to me before all of this
Nightfall was already approaching, and Lily was still nowhere to be found. She had promised to return before nightfall. Amber was seated outside, waiting for her. “Should I go over to the house?” Amber said, pacing around the front yard. She had been counting down to when Lily would walk in. Amb
“What did you just say to me?”Amber stepped away from me, but I grabbed her hand, my lips trembling.“What did you just say to me?” I repeated, my voice demanding answers while my brain refused to process what I had just heard.“How did I give birth to someone so stupid,” she repeated, yanking her
Rex just stared at me. His lips parted slightly, like he wanted to say something, but no words came out.“Just leave me alone… please,” I pleaded. My voice sounded painfully weak, even though I tried to steady it.“You should go back inside. You don’t look so good.” He reached for my hand.I pushed
Still, she didn’t say anything.I was slowly losing my patience, and the silence was killing me. I just wished she would talk , shout, cry, scold me anything but sit there like that.“Okay…”That was all she said.All that waiting just for her to say…“Okay?” I mumbled.She nodded.“It’s not like
