Lilith    The next few days went by in a blur, I was training everyday to the point where I couldn't walk without my legs turning to jelly. I basically have been introduced to everyone in the kingdom and I am successful in the royal training according to Beth, my royal trainer. Ryker has been avoiding me at every chance he got and it broke my heart, so with that Silas has been taking the opportunity to be beside me.  Honestly I think I have become friends with Silas in this time, I mean I still don't trust him or forgive him but he has kept me occupied while Ryker ignored me.  "Remember when we used to have play dates while our dads took care of pack business?" Silas asked while we laid on the ground staring at the sky."Barely but yes I remember how you used to be my best friend that stole my candy when I wasn't looking," I laughed remembering how Silas used to tell me that my candy was stolen by elves. "I

Lilith   There was a knock on the door forcing us apart so I could answer it. Annalise stood at the door with a gentle smile and said, "I am sorry to interrupt but we have a lot to find out Lilly, and my friends are waiting to give us answers." "Can Ryker come with us?" "I don't see why he can't," she replied and waved for us to follow her.   Ryker grabbed my hand and pulled me along to follow Annalise down the hall. We finally ended up at a door and when she opened it I saw the two councils, my grandfather, and the people I got introduced to this morning. We were all seated around a massive round table when Annalise spoke, "We all know why we have gathered here and we need to find answers fast."    A older woman was staring at me the whole time that Annalise was talking. "If I may ask, have you had any other visions since the one we know about?" she asked. 

Lilith   The next few days went by in a blur, Ryker and I have grown extremely close to the point that it is almost painful to be away from him. We haven't completed the mating bond yet because we are waiting for the perfect time even though we have had plenty of perfect times. It was weird to be around my grandfather now that he can smell Ryker on me knowing we were together. He would spend his time at each meal glaring at Ryker. Ruby has been with her mate who I have found out his name is Lucian, and unlike Ryker and I they have already completed their bond. Ruby has been to my room every day planning her mating ceremony and joining of the royal pack. I couldn't be happier that Ruby would officially be joining the royal pack.   I was training by myself today in the forest clearing even with Ryker protesting. I didn't want to train with a partner today so I could spend some one on one time with Willow and go for a run by ourselves. After do

Lilith   I couldn't take much more of this and I think he knows. It's been a week since I have been tied to this bed and I needed someone to help me before I gave up all the hope I had left. A few nights ago the Moon Goddess came to me after I had passed out and showed me how I could use my magic to reach through the bonds I had with Ryker and Ruby. I knew they couldn't hear me when I was to weak but last night I was able to reach Ryker with all the strength I had left before Darius showed up.   I am bloodied, bruised and beaten as I lay here and wait for Darius to come back with another magic pregnancy test. I felt disgusted with myself at the fact I couldn't protect myself from him. This past week I have laid here and zoned out will he took advantage of me. I had held Ryker's smiling face in my mind as tears would roll down my face through everything Darius did to me.   Darius has preformed three pregnancy tests so

Lilith   Everyone from the councils walked in including my grandfather and Ruby. Ruby instantly ran to my side and grabbed my hand. Ryker jumped up as soon as the door was opened and stood waiting holding my other hand. My grandfather and Annalise walked and stood by the side of the bed. Cynthia cleared her throat and stepped forward saying, "Doctor would you please explain to them about what you told us."   The doctor stepped forward from the door way and started speaking pulling a machine with her, "Lilith, Ryker we have came to a discovery that you might want to pay close attention too."   She lifted the bottom of my shirt explaining that she is going to examine my womb and show us what was discovered when I was healing. She squeezed a warm jelly onto my lower abdomen and pressed a part of the machine against me moving it around. "It seems the baby is protecting itself wit
