Chapter 25
He looked directly at me “Your My L-little sister and I-I love you Lily. Don’t ever forget that I-love you sis” he said and pulled me in a hug. My head was pressed against his chest as he cried and I felt his tears in my hair. I couldn’t belive it as I just sat there while my brother was having a break-down. I was speechless
I was shocked, my brother had never been so torn apart. Never. Did I really affect him so bad by leaving? I didn’t doubt what he said, it was obvious he was torn up.
“I could never hate you” I said against his chest and it was true. No matter what I could never hate Keith he was my brother, my own flesh and blood and I would always love him.
“but you can’t forgive me either” Keith said “Can you?”
I thought about it. Could I forgive him?
“Keith I….”
Lily’s P.O.V.
“But you can’t forgive me either” Keith said “can you?”
I thought about it. Could I forgive him?
“Keith I…I don’t know” I said pulling away from him. “A part of me has already forgiven you I mean you’ll
always be my brother. But frankly” I looked down at my hands in my lap “I’m scared”
Keith lifted my face so I’d look at him “you really don’t know how sorry I am” he whispered “I really am…for everything. Lily, just give me a chance to prove to you I won’t treat you like before. I’ll make it up for you I
swear. Just let me”
I bit my lip nervously as I stared at him. A second chance, it was a simple request. I thought back to my
mom and how happy she was that we would have dinner as a family again ‘like we used to’ her words rung
clearly in my head. So many things happened and along the way we stopped being a family. That just wasn’t right.
“Okay” I whispered. He beamed and hugged me tightly
“You won’t regret it Lily I swear I’m going to make it up to you. I swear it” he said while practically squishing
me
“um Keith…can’t…breathe” I said and he pulled back and I smiled at him drying his wet cheeks. “Now go wash your face so we can go to dinner”
He hugged me once more and kissed the top of my head “I missed you” he said
I smiled weakly “I missed you too”
After Keith and I went downstairs I could tell my parents were a lot happier, they must have heard.
Damned wolf senses.

< Chapter 25
Keith and I headed to the pack house after dinner and we walked inside together. I immediately saw
Xavier who shot me a questioning look.
+5 Points X
I’ll explain later I told him and he nodded. I made my way to up the stairs thinking of how eventful my day had been, first meeting Melissa and then Keith. I thanked god I was heading to my room to sleep and nothing more would happen….but I spoke too soon
Just then I saw Whitney come out of Ethan’s room in nothing but one of his shirts. She saw me and smirked, winking at me before turning and heading to her room. I just stood there, frozen. Whitney’s words clear in my head They’ve always been mine. Had Ethan always been hers? What was I thinking of course
I
he was. That’s why he didn’t search for me when I left. That’s why he still doesn’t tell people I’m his mate. Because all this time he’s had Whitney, all this time he’d never cared for me, not in the slightest.
My wolf was screaming at me to go and kill Whitney but I stopped her, I wouldn’t give Ethan the satisfaction of knowing how his betrayal affected me. But for some reason I still couldn’t move as an all
too familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach kept me in place. A feeling I swore not to let overwhelm me
ever again, hurt.
I shook my head and forced myself to walk to my room. As soon as the door closed I jumped face-first on the bed. Yelling profanities in my pillow. I heard a knock on the door and lifted my head slightly to tell the person to come in, thinking it was one of the boys.
But from the scent that hit me as soon as the door opened I just froze, it was Ethan.
“Lily?” Ethan asked and I told myself to calm down as I sat up and looked at him.
“What do you want?” I asked rudely, I made a mistake a while ago and showed weakness and I was paying
for it now.
“I heard about you gave Keith a second chance” he said and I furrowed my brow, did Keith really tell him.
“Mind link remember? He couldn’t hide it from his happiness he was practically shouting how he was
going to be the perfect brother, he didn’t know I was tuning in” he admitted guiltily
“Good for you” I said rolling my eyes.
“Tell me something” he looked slightly annoyed “Why can you give him another chance so easily but don’t even spare me a glance? Really Lily, I’m your mate” I looked at him angrily as I felt my eyes darken, he had
the nerve to call me his mate now after he just finished banging that bimbo
“Ethan, go out before I do something that would involve a great deal of pain to you” I told him
Now anger crossed Ethan’s features, I knew why. He was an Alpha, and the way I was talking to him was
not acceptable, but I couldn’t care less
“No I want to know why you found it so easy to give him another chance. Why your so adamant on staying like this with me.” he said angrily
