Lily’s pov “…Things have been going great. After I told Jones to leave, the rest who disagreed either got on board or also left. Luckily it was only a small group. The next Blood Moon will come soon and we’ll see who else will turn. I know some have shown interest, but it’s their choice. Kate is growing so much and Asher too! I feel like I got a routine down and I am able to spend time with them both. When Kate naps, I spend one on one time with Asher and when Asher is in preschool for three days a week, I spend time with Kate. How is Amelia doing? And the rest of the family? Dad will visit next week to see Samira, so I’ll ask him more than. Sorry to write an email, but every time I try to call you, one of the kids needs me and I am getting sick of not being able to finish any conversation. You must get it, every conversation I have with adults is very brief and skips to different subjects, because there is so little time to focus. I miss you and I’ll come and try to visit soon. O

Osiris’ pov “Could you do that thing you do? You know, that makes people talk?” Lily asked when we were getting ready to bed. “You mean torture them? I thought we stopped torturing people.” I replied. Lily started to laugh and put her hands over her forehead. “O my goddess. No Os. No.” She laughed so hard, she had to take a break before talking again. When she finally stopped and took a deep breath, she asked me what she had really meant. “O my Goddess. That was funny. So no, everyone at dinner was so awkward. Eddie or Ward was so weird and dad looked a bit depressed. Charlotte was sad too, but I already know why. Could you maybe talk to them or whatever you did last time? Anything to make them open up to you and be normal again.” I shrugged, “I can try. But I have no idea if Eddie even wants to talk to me.” Lily stood on her toes and gave me a kiss, “thank you. Maybe he feels better opening up to you. And dad too. Maybe something is going on with Samira?” “So now we’re playin

Charlotte’s pov I had spoken with Lily about the whole thing, but I still felt sad. No amount of talking would get rid of this feeling of failure. If there was something wrong with me, I’d rather just know and then I could accept that another child wasn’t possible. But this limbo, where the doctors thought everything was fine, yet I didn’t get pregnant. This was horrible. They always make jokes how much fun ‘trying’ for a baby is, but in reality it is insanely stressful. Lily had invited us all to watch a movie together, but I just wanted to sleep. I took Amelia up stairs after dinner and brought her to the kids room. Lily had put an extra mattress in the kids room, so Amelia could stay there with her cousins. It was like a slumber party. It took a while, but I finally got her to bed and I went to my room. “I’m sorry Charlotte.” Eros voice said through the mindlink. “Why are you sorry?” I asked. “For not realizing how much stress you are under. It can’t be easy trying for a baby.

Mei’s pov Eddie walked towards me and put his hands on my face, cupping my cheeks. “Hey beautiful,” he said and he kissed me. I didn’t push him away, instead I kissed him back. My tongue playing with his. Eddie lifted me up from the floor and I put my legs around him. Goddess, he felt so good. The way he kissed, the way he pressed himself against me. He pressed his bulge against me, letting me know he was feeling the same way I was. Why was my cheek wet? Was I crying? I woke up. Shit, I had a dream about Eddie. Shit, I was leaning against Eddie! And I had even drooled on him, because my cheek was wet and so was his shirt. Shit, shit, shit. I didn’t like Eddie. I couldn’t like Eddie. Not only was he family in a weird sort of way, he also was the next Alpha in line. I had no desire to be Luna of their pack. When I was eighteen I would go back to Singapore and I would start my life there. I had always planned on going back, although it was getting harder. At first I was angry at Ch

Ariel’s pov I loved Ela’s enthusiasm, but I was in no hurry to open any business. I never thought I would be able to go to school, to live with my boyfriend and to have a normal life. I sometimes still felt like I didn’t deserve it, but Samantha was always there to tell me otherwise. “Hell yeah, I am. You deserve every good thing you’re getting and more, Cherry.” I pinched myself often, never in my wildest dreams would I have this life. My dad made me think I would die young and Beta Tyrion made me think I would only experience pain in this lifetime. But waking up next to Troy was the best feeling ever. I have never felt so loved before. “Okay enough with the summary of our lives. Let’s get back to what you were doing, Boo.” Samantha said. I had spoken to Luna Angelina at Kate and Leia’s party. I was really surprised to see her there and it reminded me of my time there. Of how I tried to help her and Alpha Jayden. But also how I helped Beta Tyrion while they were locked up. Those
