Beauty and the Alpha
She loves worms because they remind her of days spent with Pappy, digging through the mud for worms so that they could go fishing with them and use them as bait.
Those were such good times for her, back when her Pappy was alive. He was her refuge and her sanctuary up until she turned nine and he died. One day he was with her, giving her mints from his pocket and telling her lame jokes, the next he was dead. They found him in the woods, dead, from an apparent heart attack, they said. But Lily never believed it. No one with a heart as big as his could ever have it fail them. It was something else that killed him. Or someone else.
