Lily Learning Books Novels & Stories

Willow said before Lily left the room, pulling her attention back to them. "What would you need from her?" Jayce asked in her place. Willow looked over to Amira who then pulled out a thick book from behind herself. Lily's eyes fell onto it, feeling a sudden pull toward the leather bound literature. She stepped away from the safety of Jayce, letting the book draw her in until she was in range of it. "It's true." Amira broke through her thoughts as she pulled the book away from Lily. Lily reached for it mindlessly as if she was in a daze. She could hear Alpha Aiden growling as he put himself between Amira and Lily.

I have been doing that a lot lately. We step inside and the house smells like coffee and something sweet, maybe cookies. It’s warm, safe, nothing like the clubhouse where we reside. Chloe is in the living room, sitting cross-legged on the floor with Lily. They seem to be coloring books spread out in front of them. Crayons are scattered everywhere, the colours bright against the soft rug. Lily is bent over her book, her small hands clutching a crayon. Her tongue is poking out. It's something she does when she focuses.

I never knew I could love someone as much as I love them. "Papa, Papa! Can we do some play fighting today?!" Lily asks immediately. "I wanna learn how to be strong! Book stuff is so boring!" Her fiery personality reflects her dark red hair perfectly. She's so feisty and eager to learn anything if it isn't book knowledge. I was like that as a child too. "W-wait, Lily...!" Davin stammers and bites his lip. "W-what if Papa is busy? He might need to go out and look for big brother. We can hog all his time." His words slice through my heart.

“And I need to learn fast too. Before the big party that is coming soon.” Lily thought hard for a moment. Then her face lit up with a big idea. “Maybe I can help you!” she said in a happy voice. I raised one eyebrow. “Oh? And how would you do that?” She gave me a big, playful smile. “We can make it into a game! It will be fun!” “A game?” I thought about it. It felt hard to learn all this and also spend good time with Lily. But maybe she had a good idea. “Okay. I am listening.”

Lily is sitting on the other end resting her head on it's supporting armchair with her legs spread out to the end of the couch where I'm sitting with my legs placed on the floor. "What sort of game?" I finally ask. She lifts her leg from the couch to the floor bending slightly to pick the bag she's been hiding the whole time. She removes our clothes first from it before removing five books and spreading them on the table. "What is this, a nerd game?" She laughs and straighten from the table, although I don't find my comment to be funny. Lily moves closer to me, our legs touching. She's so close I can smell her cherry-strawberry scent. "This is how the game works. We will both take turns to p

“I… don’t know. She was always so private about her stuff. Even when I asked to borrow her notes, she would rather send them than give me access to her screen.” Lily sighed. “Nothing at all? Maybe a hint? A nickname, a favorite number? A pet's name?” “She didn’t have pets. But…” Cassidy bit her lip. “She was weirdly obsessed with that old book series… you know, the one about the warrior wolves? Moonshade Pack Chronicles, I think?” Lily perked up. “Yeah! She used to talk about it all the time.” “Sorry I can’t help more.” “No—it’s okay,” Lily said, her smile fading. “Thanks for trying.”

I broke rule seven on a Wednesday. In my defense, I didn't mean to. Lily had found a book, a small hardcover with a blue spine that she'd pulled from somewhere and was very proudly showing me, except she'd clearly gotten it from somewhere she wasn't supposed to, because when I asked her where she found it she suddenly became very interested in Gerald's ear and stopped making eye contact. "Lily." "Hmm?" "Where did you get the book?" "...Daddy's room."

I move past them and walk into the living room. Lily is sitting on the floor again. Same spot. Same careful posture. She looks up when she sees me. “Can you help me with this,” she asks, holding up her book. Her voice is soft. Like she’s testing to see my reaction before getting comfortable. “Yeah,” I say. I sit down beside her. She shifts a little closer, turning the page toward me. “I don’t understand this part,” she says. I look at it. Words blur for a second.

"Thank you." Next came Marcus's gift.The room became unusually quiet as Lily opened the large box.Inside were dozens of children's books.Storybooks,picture books,science books.Books about stars, oceans, animals, history, and imagination.There was even a small wooden bookshelf Marcus had built himself. Lily smiled warmly."I should have known."Marcus adjusted his glasses."Reading encourages curiosity."Jesse leaned toward Daniel and whispered loudly enough for everyone to hear,"The baby's library is already bigger than ours."Marcus nodded proudly."I planned ahead."Everyone laughed again.

Debby nodded and took a deep breath. “I'll tell you after you finish all this. Trust me, my story is as long as yours..." Debby said and Lilly nodded. "Now tell me what letter this is..." Debby pointed to a letter and Lilly happily told her. Lilly told Debby three letters at once to memorize. With that, Lilly began to teach Debby to read slowly, while she read the book about Dryads in her hand.
