Chapter 23
It was nice having a girl as a friend. I mean don’t get me wrong I love my boys but I couldn’t discuss everything with them and Mel was really nice. I definitely imagined us becoming close friends.
I left school and headed to my bike to my bike only to see Dave and Jim standing in front of me.
“So while we were leaving the house this morning we saw something interesting” Dave said
“Oh and what was that?” I asked and they grinned.
“burned flowers” Jim answered and I laughed.
“Oh that” I shrugged and got on my bike “Just being nice. Anyway, off to the job hunt” I put my helmet and got out of the school parking lot. Let’s hope I find a job.
Lily’s P.O.V.
“anyone here?” I said looking into the small office of the mechanic shop. To say the office was a mess would be an understatement. Papers were scattered on the floor and desk. And what looked like a pizza on the top of the chair smelled decades old.
I hastily got out of the office and went to the garage. Finally I saw someone looking under the hood of a
car.
“Um excuse me” I said nicely. The guy glanced at me for a second and then froze with his back to me.
He turned around quickly. “Why hello there” he said placing his hand on the car but it slipped on the rag
and he fell, hitting his head on the car.
“oh my god are you okay?” I asked running up to him. he sat up with a groan and placed his hand on his head. “that was some hit do you feel okay?”
“Yeah your fine” he said and then his eyes widened as I tried to suppress a laugh “I..I mean I’m fine…fine as in healthy not…fine–fine. Not that your not fine…I mean your really fine…but not in a perverted way your
just–”
“I’m Lily” I interrupted him to put the poor guy out of his misery. He seemed to sense that and blushed.
“Dean” he said as we stood up. he looked about my age with auburn hair and a bit of freckles on his cheek. “So what can I do for you?”
“I’m actually looking for a job” I told him and he looked surprised
“A job? here?”
“Yeah I love working on cars.” Dean looked impressed as he wiped his hands on a rag.
“Got any experience?” he asked me.
“yeah I worked two years in a mechanic shop in my old town and I fixed up my own bike” I told him. He

raised his eyebrows looking impressed.
“Well I guess we could use the extra hand” he said smiling “You’ll start tomorrow Lily and we’ll see what
you got”
“Deal” I told him. He told me when to come the next day and I left.
I drove to the pack house and just as I parked my bike I saw the twins coming towards me.
“did you get a job?” Dave asked
“Yeah just like my job back home” I smiled “now what have you boys been up to?” I asked noticing their
mischievous smiles.
“well why don’t you come in the living room and see” I rolled my eyes and walked in the living room only to see everyone gathered around the couch.
I walked to the couch and gasped. Adrian was on the couch with whipped cream on both his hands and
on the floor were two plates of whipped cream for when he’d wake up
“Guys” I looked at them disapprovingly “come on” their smiles faltered just when I grinned
“Whipped cream is so unoriginal. Think of something else next time” I winked at them.
“how are you planning to wake him up” Xavier asked as all the guys stared at us.
“Lily will you do the honors?” Dave asked and put my hand to my heart and wiped a fake tear before
nodding.
I moved closer to Adrian and took a deep breath.
“AAAAAAAAH! OH MY GOD ADRIAN WHAT’S ON YOUR FACE?” I screamed. Adrian’s eyes opened and
immediately he reached his first hand and got whipped cream on his face. We all started laughing
especially when he used his other hand to take the whipped cream off and ended up adding more to his
face.
And when he stepped in the whipped cream that was it. I clutched my stomach and had was literally on
the floor from laughing so hard.
“TWINS” Adrian yelled angrily as the twins helped me up.
“dude you just got Boiled” Dave said winking at me
“Roasted” Jim added
“And steameeeeeed” I finished before breaking down laughing again.
“Now RUN” I yelled as Adrian started running after us. I went up the stairs running while looking behind me when I suddenly bumped into someone and I didn’t need to look up to know who it was. The electric shock from where he held my arms said it all.
“sorry I wasn’t looking” I said but didn’t make any attempt to leave. Not when my wolf was fighting to take

(Chapter 23
control, not when I was fighting the urge to kiss him.
Ethan didn’t talk as he kept his grip on my arms, his eyes changing to black. Okay I had to get a grip before things get out of hand.
I cleared my throat and tried to set my distance but Ethan’s grip was tight.
“Ethan?” I asked but his grip only tightened and I saw his eyes closed and he took a deep breath before
letting me go
“Sorry Lily…just first time i’ve had you this close…your scent…I just” he exhaled
“I-it’s alright” damn I stuttered where the hell is the i-don’t-give-a-crap Lily? But I knew what he meant “I have to go” I said walking away. Damn it Lily you can not lose control like that.
He’s your mate you’ will lose control around him. My wolf said
