LOGINLily’s pov. I swallow the lump in my throat as I nod my head at my grandmother. Wanting to know if I’m having one or more. More like needing to know. I don’t think I’d be able to handle another multiple pregnancy. My grandmother smiles as she places her hands gently onto my belly, closing her eyes as she concentrates. Making my heartbeat race as I wait for her to talk. “It’s a… girl, one baby,” she says softly, smiling at me as she looks up into my eyes. My heart stutters at the thought of another little girl. Four girls and one boy. “Wow,” Creed whispers from behind me, “another baby girl.”“Are you happy about it?” I whisper, still unsure of his feelings, even my own. “I am,” he smiles, “I’m even more happy it’s just one in there this time!”Everyone laughs after his words, me included. I’m happy it’s one this time too. I don’t think we need anymore babies. One more is perfect…“Happy birthday, Lily and congratulations on your baby girl! Now Glenda check me! Check me!” Ra
Lily’s pov. “You did so good, Creed,” I whisper to my mate as we watch our babies sleep soundly in their bassinets, snuggled together. “That means more to me than you’ll ever know,” he says quietly, looking at me with so much love in his eyes, "I missed you so much, Lily.”“I missed you too…” I whisper back, “even if it only felt like a few hours for me.”Creed chuckles, making me chuckle in return. “Tell me more about that… you haven’t said anything about it to me yet,” Creed says quietly, looking into my eyes with curiosity. I cleared my throat, wrapping my arms around him as I prepared myself for the story. “It was… different?” I laugh, not sure how to explain this to him, feeling all of the emotions I felt there rushing back to me,“I- I was walking next to Sapphire. She wasn’t within me but next to me. As her own form. She led me to the goddess. Who showed me the double sided mirror of Selene. I literally sat there and watched as that omega maid poisoned Maze… I had to wake m
Lily’s pov. “How were they while I was… away?” I asked Raya as she sat beside me with Wren and Aspin in her arms. She smiled down at them before looking towards me, “they were great, honestly. Creed was a little stressed… but I was there, helping as much as I could.”“Thank you, I really appreciate all of your help. And I don’t blame anyone for what happened to Mazikeen… it was a desperate attempt. But they did not succeed…” I say softly, looking towards Creed who is forcing me to rest while he cares for the babies. I smile to myself, grateful for my wonderful mate. “I’d do anything for you Lily,” Raya replies while standing up, “I’m going to go help Creed for a bit, it looks like he’s struggling.”We both chuckle as she walks away, placing her sons down to help with Thena, Juni and Maze. Max clutched tightly to Creed’s chest, not wanting him to let him down. Extremely attached to his dad since the last few days I was… gone. “Are you sure I can’t help?” I ask Creed, laughing as
Lily's pov. All I can see is darkness, but all I can think about is how that omega poisoned Mazikeen. How she smiled as she put the poisoned bottle into her mouth. How Mazikeen, so innocent, so clueless had drank it all down greedily, clueless to the dangers. How Creed was too busy to notice…My head turns and spirals as a million thoughts race through my mind. Until suddenly I’m sitting up, gasping for breath. “Mazikeen!” I yelled as I scrambled out of the bed, throwing the cover off of me and running towards the door. I pull the door open fast, breaking it off of its hinges, not caring, just running faster down the hall towards the stairs, knowing they must be at Ryan and Raya’s room. “Queen!” The maid that poisoned Mazikeen shrieked, looking at me with fear before masking it with a fake smile, “the goddess! You’re awake! King-.”She went to ramble on but was cut off by my hand squeezing her throat. “Do you think you could just come in here, poison my child and leave!?” I s
Lily’s pov. “What the hell?” I mutter out loud as I open my eyes to a blinding light. I blink my eyes, trying to adjust.When I open them one last time I’m met with a field of lilies and carnations, with the biggest, brightest sun shining in the sky. “Lily,” I hear the voice of Sapphire, but it’s not in my head, it’s behind me. I turned around quickly, met with the sight of Sapphire's huge form. “Wow,” I breathed out, looking at my dragon in astonishment, “how is this even possible? I never thought I’d be able to see you like this.”“We’re with the goddess, Lily. We must go speak with her, come with me,” she says, but her mouth doesn’t move. She starts heading towards the sun behind me, I scramble to catch up with her. “Wait!” I called out, “where exactly are we going?”“To the double sided mirror of Selene. The goddess’s essence is inside of it, allowing her to see what happens down on earth,” her majestic voice echoes across the field. I follow behind her as she leads me tow
Creed’s pov. I kept the fact that Virginia said she was going to poison Lily to myself. I don’t know why but I felt like I should. I look over as I hear a grunting noise and see Lily struggling in her sleep. I rush over to her, laying beside her in bed and holding her close. Watching her body relax at my touch. I sigh in relief, laying back as I stare at the ceiling. “Wake up, Lily,” I whisper to no one other than myself. As I’m staring at the ceiling, Maddox starts to make small whines. I get out of bed, walking towards him. I stare down at the four lives we created, smiling softly to myself. Wishing so badly that Lily would wake up and be here, in this moment with us. I pick Maddox up gently and bounce him up and down. Singing softly to him. “Sleepy baby, sleepy baby, close your eyes and sleep. Sleepy baby, sleepy baby, shhh, shh,” I whisper softly, watching his eyes close again. I let out a sigh of relief, already feeling exhausted. I place him back down slowly, car
Lily's pov. Three weeks later. My hands feel raw from the amount of scrubbing I’ve been doing. Hades has me cleaning every last inch of his castle and won’t let me leave a spot missed. He said “somebody needs to teach you a lesson or two.” Before he locked me in here, working me to exhaustion.
Lily's pov. As I’m stomping my way to Creed's office I see Jason storming out, right around the one corner my mother is standing there, waiting. As he gets closer to her she starts speaking harshly to him, hands waving so runs frantically as if she’s scolding him for something…She muttters someth
Lily's pov. I decided to try the nightgown on… the fabric clung to my skin, but felt so comfortable I found myself not minding. ‘I’m coming to our room now,’ Creed speaks into my mind, making me jump. ‘Wow, you scared me!’ I laugh. ‘I’m sorry, love. You’ll get used to it, I’ll be there in a min
Creeds pov. “It’s been five fucking weeks!” I scream, while throwing everything off of my desk onto the floor with a loud crash. Alex flinches and Ryan just looks pissed off while Jason sits off by the window with a small smirk on his face that’s almost unnoticeable. I walk towards him like an a
