Chapter 17
Lily please tell us where you are. Come on it’s us you’re talking to here. Adrian pleads
Silence. I thought for a second she was just going to ignore us.
There’s a cliff somewhere in the woods near the house. she stated
On our way.
We went as fast as we could to the woods and after a few minutes we saw her bike parked and a trail of broken twigs on the floor. We followed it and sure enough we ended up on a cliff.
Lily was sitting with her feet dangling in the air just staring in front of her. I glance at the guys and we walk towards her I reach her and immediately lift her and set her in my lap. She buries her head in my croon of my neck.
“Lily?” I asked moving her hair away from her face as the guys sat beside me “What happened?”
“I’m so stupid” she whispered and for a second I thought she was crying. But she wasn’t, she hadn’t cried since the first day she came to our pack.
“no your not” Adrian argued.
“Why the hell do they still get to me? I shouldn’t care” she said frustrated
“You wouldn’t be normal if you didn’t care Lily. They were your pack, your family.” I told her. I wanted nothing more than to tell her to pack her bags so we’d leave. To take her away from the bastards that keep on hurting her.
“I hate feeling like this, feeling weak.” she said and then lifted her head.
“You don’t have to feel weak, you know we’d kill anyone who’d try hurting you” I said.
“He’s right Lily, you’ll always have us” Jacob said
“Will I?” she said looking up at us. I looked at her in confusion
“Of course you will what the hell would make you say otherwise.” she looked at me, trying to see hesitation in me. But there was none, I’d always be there to protect this girl, no matter what.
“yeah you think you can get rid of us that easily” Dave grinned
“Someone has to make us the lasagna tonight” Jim added before Jacob hit the back of his head “I mean if you want to”
Lily laughed shaking her head and closing her eyes. “I’m sorry I guess Whitney got to me more than I thought”
“Whitney?” I asked confused and she just shook her head.
“One of them” she said and hugged herself to me again, I knew by them she was talking about the people that made her
life hell two years ago. I hugged her tightly to me.
“love you. All of you” She said
“We love you too” I told her as I got up holding her bridal style.
“You know I can walk, you don’t have to carry me” she said with a slight smile
“Ah but what kind of best friend would I be if I didn’t spoil you every once in a while” I told her “Besides Adrian has wanted to drive your bike for a while now”
“Take care of my baby Adrian” she called and I heard Adrian chuckle

Chapter 17
Aye, Aye sir” he joked. Lily smiled and we kept on talking till we reached the pack house. I saw her bike outside which told me that Adrian was already there. We all walked in and Keith, Peter, and Ethan were in the room.
“Is she hurt?” Keith said rushing to our side
“Why the hell are you carrying her?” Ethan asked angrily
“No she’s hurt and two” I said looking down at her.
“Non of your god damn business” Lily continued and I laughed before putting her down. She smiled and hugged me “You’re the best Xavier” she whispered to me and I smiled. I saw the twins appear beside me with puppy dog faces. Lily just rolled her eyes “I’ll make the dang Lasagna” she yelled but I could tell she was amused. I knew that girl too well. Lily made dinner for both packs and let’s just say it took her 3 pans of lasagna. Poor girl was beat in the end, everyone loved the food and her old pack was actually shocked she cooked so good. Lily didn’t eat anything and went to her room.
I checked on her after everyone was done only to see her asleep with the on her bed. I smirked as I got in and placed a
blanket over her.
“”night” I whispered kissing her forehead before I left. I went back to the living room to find things tense. Jacob, Adrian and the twins were glaring at Ethan and the others. And I could tell they were still mad about today. And they had every right to. Non of these bastards deserved even being in the same room as Lily. I couldn’t help but get mad, why the hell was she so unlucky as to have a mate like that?
As for her brother I knew he was a jerk from what she told me but I hadn’t seen him do anything wrong to her since we got here. I knew he regretted everything he did, it showed. But call me heartless I thought he deserved it after all he put her through. She was his sister, his own flesh and blood. She never deserved any of this.
Lily’s P.O.V.
It was a lovely morning when I woke up, the sky was blue, the birds were chirping…and I was sneaking into Dave’s room
with a bucket of water.
