Osiris’ pov We had ran through the rogue territory, splitting the area into sections. I went furthest back, because I was one of the fastest. I am coming for you Lily, I thought to myself. “I won’t let you down Osiris,” Santos said. “I know my friend,” I replied as we kept running through the woods. I had Jara with me and a few other soldiers. I ran ahead, while Jara tried to reign me back, “we have to stick together, just in case people try to attack.” But I didn’t listen and ran following my nose in search of Lily’s scent. I knew that scent like no other, I loved that scent and I was sure it would lead me to her. The further I got the more I smelled it, cinnamon and apple. But it wasn’t as clear as usual, it was mixed with dirt and sweat. I stopped for a second when I heard a loud scream and the roar of a wolf. “It’s there, I know it,” Santos said and he took over and ran towards a very small cabin. It was hidden behind some trees and I smelled Lily all over it. I didn’t wai

Osiris’ pov Lily was finally able to come home, but had to leave straight away to go to her old pack. I just feel saver with her there, there have been too many attacks here. She is letting me know when she arrives back home and then I’ll leave for my meeting with the Midnight Blood pack. Luna Isabella has been a great help, getting this meeting ready on my behalf. I could of course just attack the Midnight Blood pack and it has been on my mind for the last few weeks. But that could mean the loss of many lives. Plus I feel some kind of loyalty towards my mom to at least try to figure things out with her old pack. That doesn’t mean I am going to just take whatever they’ve done and pretend it didn’t happen. They tried to take my mate, they’ve killed my soldiers and they’ve attacked me. I am taking Riker with me and some soldiers. I’ve also sent some scouts ahead to see if the Midnight Blood pack is setting up a trap. We are meeting at another pack, a neutral territory for the both o

Osiris’ pov Jara and Riker are getting the pack ready for anything. Alpha Gabriel had offered to house our elderly and kids if needed, their pack is only across the border from us. So when Luna Isabella’s scouts see any movement from the Midnight pack everyone who isn’t able to fight is heading their way. I’ve been discussing strategies with Riker. We could always attack first, but that would leave my pack vulnerable. Kendrick has used rogues before, so he could send rogues to attack my pack while I am out fighting his. So now all we can do is wait. I wish I had Lily here, she is always great at distracting me. Just her presence usually calms me down. But I need her safe until she is fully healed. I can sense how bad she is feeling all the time. The guilt, anger and fear that’s coming from her worries me. But when I mindlink her she doesn’t want to talk about any of it, I guess she feels like the upcoming attack on our pack trumps her feelings. When my parents died I closed their ro

Osiris pov I don’t know what I expected when I sent the letters. Was I naïve in thinking that Kendrick would change his mind once he found out his mother didn’t just leave him behind so easily? “At least your mom can look down and see her letters have finally arrived at their destination,” Lily had said a days ago. She was really proud of me for sending the letters, even after what Kendrick had done. “I am doing this for my mom and for the pack.” I had told her. I had hoped that Kendrick would feel terrible guilt for his actions. I still felt guilty for being mean to them before they died and he had actually killed them. “You know I think you need to be a normal person to actually feel guilt,” Santos said “not a psychopath.” It only took three days from the moment the letters were delivered, until Luna Isabella let me know the Midnight Blood pack was on the move. I mindlinked everyone to get on high alert. The kids and elderly went to the Blood River pack and the rest us prepare

Osiris’ pov I honestly don’t know if I would have survived this battle if Lily and the extra soldiers didn’t show up. We could have handled Kendrick and his men if he hadn’t used rogues to weaken us in the beginning. And if he hadn’t brought soldiers with guns and silver bullets. “These are all just excuses, it was our own fault Osiris” Santos said. He was right though. I am so used to handling things on my own at my pack, but in hindsight I should have asked for help. I didn’t hesitate to accept help from others when Lily went missing, but I needed to defeat my brother on my own. My stupid pride got in the way I guess. I never needed anyone’s help to fight my battles. Lily and I walked back to the packhouse, both wounded and exhausted from the fight. We didn’t say a word and just walked, holding each other’s hand as we walked up the stairs, into our room and into the shower. Lily and I stood in the shower holding each other close, letting the water poor down on us. Lily was the fi
