LILY"No, stop! Just listen," Cecille pleaded and my temper dropped down a notch. "I stepped over the treaty line and I bumped into my mate. The only reason I went over is because something was calling to me; I could feel him near. Anyway, him and I are together now and I'm joining Red Moon's Pack next week!"My mouth dropped again at her words. "You're leaving Dark Moon Pack?" I whispered to her, not wanting it to be true."Yeah, but I'll still visit!" She smiled sheepishly at me, but I wasn't buying it."Cecille, have you told my brother yet?" Her face dropped and I could tell that was a no. "You have to tell him!""About that..." Her voiced trailed off momentarily while she gathered her thoughts again. "I was kind of hoping that you would talk to him for me," She dropped her eyes to the ground and she gave a worried smile in my direction."Cecille!" I whisper/shouted to her, so no unwanted listeners could hear. "My brother hates mates! How in the world do you expect me to talk some

LILYThe week leading up to our packs meeting with the Red Moon pack seemed to fly by. I spent most of my time with Mabel and Cecille getting ready in every possible way. I wanted this to be perfect and show Timothy that I could in fact act properly around unmated males without anything bad happening. I've waited so long for a day like this and I'd rather die than let not anything ruin it for me.I jumped off my bed in a hurry and grabbed the longest skirt I could find in my dresser. I figure going with the long one is the safest choice, beings it's too hot to wear something like jeans in the spring. The red layers flowed gracefully around my legs, ending at the bottom of my knees. To match it, I put on a brown string sleeved tank top with a gold belt wrapping tightly around my waist. As I began to slip on my gold flats, someone knocked on my door."Who is it?" I sang, practically skipping over to open the door. It was more than obvious that I'm overjoyed by the fact I'll be around un

LILYI sat there in the cold, low lit room. Balled up in the corner, I couldn't hold back the pain my heart was feeling. How did it ever get this far? Do I seriously need to be locked down here for my 'protection'? Timothy's actions used to be silly, explainable and practically nothing. I never formed another thought towards how much this could easily get out of hand.It all started when I turned 9. I had a crush on a little boy from our pack and wanted nothing more than to play with him. Long story short; Timothy told me boys have cooties and to stay away from them. Who knew that cooties could turn into imprisonment? What happened to my brother? We used to be so close, playing video games, pulling pranks, laughing. I can't remember the last time we've laughed with each other just for the heck of it. Everything's so serious and fake. He became my parent; he became the leader. Maybe because this is his training. At a young age he needs to handle the whole pack.I can't imagine the pain

LILYLetting go of the tree to face the voice. A tall man stood near the trees, his long black hair shining under the moonlight. I scanned his body up and down and decided I have no chance with taking this strong, scary man on. His black eyes bore into mine and I felt frozen with fear just looking at the man."What's your name?" His question came out more like a demand with his cold, deep voice.I took a gulp, trying to get my thoughts together and open my mouth, but I couldn't. I stood there dumbfounded by him and my mind couldn't pull anything out to say. I just stared at him with wide eyes and a shaky body.He smiled at the sight of my fear and I cringed as he took a few steps forwards. "You're far from your pack Lily Shaw," He spoke, inching closer and closer to me.My mouth dropped in shock. "H-how do you know w-who I am?" I asked with a shaky, breathless voice. My body still recovering from all the uncommon exercise I forced on it.Stopping only inches away from my body, he lean

LILYI stayed put in the room, afraid to go anywhere else and encounter strange and unfriendly people. I can't believe Denver just left like that, did I do something wrong? He's been gone for so long and I don't know if I should go search for him, or just hang out in here until he comes looking for me.It took me some time to calm down after everything that happened between us. I can't help but feel guilty; almost like it was all my fault he reacted that way. I'm just not ready to go that far with someone; mate or not. Denver's voice keeps replaying in my mind. Every time I shut my eyes, he's there in my head. All I see are his beautiful blue eyes gazing lovingly into mine, then switching back and forth to something entirely different. I need to see him, I need him to come back for me! I can't sit here and wait any longer. I can't just wait to see if he hates me or not; it's eating at me too much!"I'm sorry Madam, I didn't see you," A voice called from the other side of the room.I j
