Lily’s pov I had to take it slow, but I could use both my legs again. I needed a lot of rest and couldn’t walk too long. But I was so happy to be out of my cast and back at the Blood River pack. Although I had to admit, the Iron River pack had its perks. At least I could wear what I wanted there and Emma could train. Emma seemed really unhappy, but on the weekends she would meet her new friend in the Iron River pack and would come back with a big smile. I had tried to ask her about her friend, but Emma said to give her some time. She promised to tell me everything when we went home in a few weeks. I had been taking it slow for almost 2 weeks, but I really wanted to go on a hike with Charlotte and Emma. This time Charlotte promised to join us so we wouldn’t get lost again. The Iron River had a great spot for picknick’s near the river, but so did the Blood River. It was actually the same river that ran through both packs, but the Iron River was named this way because they located iron

Lily’s pov We went home with a very nervous Emma sitting beside me in the car ride over. I had never seen her this anxious, she couldn’t sit still and kept fidgeting with her hands. I knew Alpha Osiris wasn’t Emma’s mate or they would have already senses that during the first dinner he had at our house. But they could still be in a relationship, some people choose their mate after rejection or the loss of their mates. I always knew Emma was scared to meet her mate, but I didn’t think she would actually want a long term relationship with Alpha Osiris. This must be more of a fling. But why was she so nervous then? Was she scared my parents would find out? They didn’t like it if we dated, but Emma was twenty years old it wasn’t like they could stop her. When we arrived at the packhouse we were greeted by our parents and Eddie. It didn’t take long for my parents to take Emma inside to discuss “an important matter” with her. I waited in the garden with Eddie, not wanting to intrude even t

Osiris’ pov Emma and Gamma Jara were off to Lily’s birthday party. They said I could go with them, but I had promised to leave Lily alone. Our first kiss had been so special to me, but it had meant nothing to Lily, which broke my heart. A heart I didn’t even think I had. I was embarred besides heartbroken, no woman had ever rejected me like this. And I even brought her to my special place. The tree where my parents got married under. I wasn’t born yet when they were married, but my parents brought me there on their 10th anniversary. Even after being together for over 10 years they still looked so in love. I didn’t tell Lily why I brought her there, hell I didn’t tell her anything personal. I didn’t share my life with anyone easily. Jara and Riker had grown up with me so they knew how hard my parents death was on me, I barely spoke the first year after they died. It had been so sudden when they passed away. I was also feeling extremely guil

Osiris’ pov Getting Lily’s letters were always the highlight of that day. Even Riker started to notice that I was smiling a lot more. He was teasing me about it and questioning my reasons. I didn’t want to share the letters yet. I couldn’t risk this. Writing a note was Santos best idea yet and he never let me hear the end of it. “You can be actually nice when you think about your words,” Santos said. But it wasn’t just that I was thinking before I wrote, I think I felt comfortable with Lily. That is why I wanted her to call me Osiris, having her call me by my tittle made the letters too formal. I wanted her to know we were equals in our letters. I hoped she wouldn’t take my request as something strange. It wasn’t usual people to call me by my name, even Riker and Jara called me Alpha and they were as close as family as I had. We have had more rogue attacks lately and it was getting to the pack. No one was seriously hurt, but people were on hi

Osiris’ pov Ever since I read Lily’s letter I have been thinking of a way to respond. I had not expected her words. Lily had actually felt something when we kissed. But what? And why did she tell me now? What did she want from me? How could I write everything I was feeling in a letter? I had spent 5 days thinking of a response, everyone was noticing I was more irritable with each passing day. I needed to know what Lily meant, I couldn’t wait any longer and I left on some ‘business trip’. I first needed to calm down, so instead of driving I just shifted and ran until I couldn’t anymore. When I arrived at Lily’s pack I got dressed in the shirt and shorts I had tied around my leg. They weren’t exactly proper attire, but I didn’t care right now. I had no idea what I would say to Alpha Edward, but I was in luck and he wasn’t at the packhouse. Instead the head omega Doretta opened the door and looked almost scared to see me. I asked for Lily and after a while Dore
