Lily's Promise Novels & Stories

His voice breaks off. “Shhh, I’m here, Aolis. I’m safe in Araphyra, warm in our bed.” I listen to him take several deep breaths as he calms himself. “Will you promise me, Lily. Promise me to be careful. I know you’re strong, and I know you can take care of yourself, but if anything were to happen to you…”

I have to avenge my death, I have to make them pay for what they’ve all done to me and the only way I can do that is to play a game, a game where no one knows anything about me. “Lily, I am so sorry, I hope they didn’t put you through much trouble?” A familiar voice put an abrupt stop to my pondering and I lifted my head to see Kate, she was one of the maids too and probably the only one with a heart. “No, I’m fine.” I managed a smile as I stood to face her and I saw Kate flash me a painful smile as she closed the gap between us, her eyes carefully scrutinizing me as though searching for bruises.

He offered "Antonio, I really want to but I need to go to Lily's for her notes and we are also going to review." Lily interjected "I'll be fine. Jibee can do that." She said but I know that she's not happy to said that "It's fine with Lily." Raymond gave me a hopeful smile I sighed. I really want to spend more time with Lily. "Sorry but I have a promise to fulfill. Lily saved me and I need to make it up to her. We can have dinner the other time." I rejected him again

Lily asked in a sing-song voice flashing a smile at Helen. "What?" Helen asked in surprise after a few seconds of silence. She couldn't believe her plans were squeezing into life. Lily was delivering it all into her hands effortlessly. She had done well tucking her smile and not letting it show. What more could she ask for? "Come on Helen... Please, don't say no. Remember you promised to be by my side henceforth and not…" "Okay I will!" Helen responded. Lily rushes and hugs her. Then she turned to Liam, "You don't…"

He was getting under my skin and I didn’t want to have him know it. “We don’t know if I am pregnant yet and there is no way in hell that you are going to tell me what to do” I retorted. “I said that you are not going back to your old pack simply because it is not safe there. If you really feel like you don’t want to be here, then go somewhere else, just not there. I won’t be able to live if I find out that something might have happened to you and I am unable to protect you. After all, all those years ago when you were born and I was only seven years old, I made a promise that I will protect you with my life and I do not intend on breaking that promise any time soon” Rowan said.

I could see him envisioning it—Lily's small figure at the entrance, her hopeful eyes scanning each approaching adult, her condition gradually deteriorating in the cold. "She refused to leave," I continued, my voice dropping to a whisper. "She kept saying you promised, so you would come. She believed in you until the very end." Ethan's composure finally cracked. A single tear escaped his amber eye, tracking down his cheek before he could wipe it away. "Tell Lily to come back," he choked out, his voice raw with emotion. "I promise her, from now on, whenever she wants to go to the Moonlight Fair, I will take her."

Her grip tightened on the chart she covered over her bust. Then, she closed her eyes intently before going against the promise she made with Georgia. “She’s in her hometown!” Lily exclaimed. A second later, she suddenly fled away from Primo. That just showed how guilty she was for breaking her promise with Georgia. I’m so sorry, doc. Please, forgive me.

She was standing on the edge, and she wasn’t sure which way to jump. “I have to go,” she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “I promised Ryle I’d meet him. But I’ll think about everything. I promise.” Atlas nodded, his face unreadable. “I get it. Just remember... you deserve to be happy. No matter what you decide.” She gave him a small smile, one that felt forced, but it was all she could manage. “Thank you. For understanding.” Lily stood up and walked away, her heart heavy as she made her way to the café where Ryle was waiting. She had no idea what the next step was, but she knew one thing: this decision wasn’t going to be easy.

I will be the one to kick her to the curb. Not her. “ You promise, Ethan? ” Lily leans into my palm. “ I promise, you will be my wife. Just like you were always supposed to be. ” I brush my thumb over her cheek gently. Lily nods. She is not a woman who will pester me mindlessly. She won’t whine and cling to me until I agree, unlike Grace who never stopped talking and whining. The doctors check up on Lily again. There is nothing serious going on.

Lily looked around at all of them, her friends, her family forged in fire and loyalty. “She’s coming for us,” Lily said quietly. “Not just to hurt us.” “To punish us,” Liam finished. The laughter around them continued, the lanterns swayed and the Moon Festival preparations carried on, oblivious, but something dark had just surfaced and none of them could unsee it.
