Chapter 38
Xavier’s P.O.V.
“JASON” I heard Lily yell and didn’t have time to feel relieved as I was shoved and sent flying, I landed on the ground and looked at where I was standing and saw Lily before the house exploded and she was sent flying into the woods.
“Lily” I heard Ethan yell in panic as I felt my heart drop. She pushed me away so I wouldn’t get hurt. She got herself hurt for me, even after the way I hurt her
I found myself running along with the others and reached to where she landed. Ethan was the first to get there and he stood there shaking while looking at her. I walked up with the others and my heart dropped at the sight of Lily
She was on the floor with her head to the side and her hair a mess, her face was covered with cuts and marks and her shoulder was at a weird angle.
“Is she…” Dave started but couldn’t continue. Ethan was the first one to move and fell to his knees before
hesitantly placing his fingers on her throat and letting out a sign of relief.
“There’s a pulse” he said with a bit of relief but worry was still evident in his voice
“Do we carry her home?” Adrian asked but Ethan shook his head and was about to answer when I finally found my voice.
“No we don’t know what’s her condition by moving her she could…”I trailed on unable to say that she could
die.
“What happened? I heard her yell your name but didn’t see anything” Adrian said and I just stared at Lily while Ethan held her hand and tried to check her injuries without moving her, his hands shaking.
“I don’t know, one minute I was fighting this wolf, the next I heard her scream my name and push me and let me tell you it wasn’t softly. I looked and saw the house blow up and she just…” I shook my head “I can’t
believe she did that”
“I can” Ethan said and we all turned to look at him but he was just staring at her. “You guys don’t see how
much she…loves you” he gulped “I didn’t want to believe it at first…kept telling myself we were her family” he shook his head “but we’re…I’m not. She’d do anything for you guys or anyone she loved no matter how much they hurt her. That’s just Lily”
No one answered him as we stared at him in shocked silence, suddenly Lily stirred and reached a hand to
her head
“God I feel like I’ve been trampled by wild horses” she said and I breathed a sigh of relief as she sat up and opened her eyes but didn’t look at any of us “God damned explosion” she grumbled
“Are you okay? How do you feel?” I asked kneeling on the ground.

“Fine nothing but the shoulder” she said and looked at her right shoulder “This is gonna hurt” She reached her left hand and put it behind her shoulder. She took a deep breath and popped her shoulder back, gritting
her teeth in the process.
I stared at her in shock, Lily always hated making a big deal out of each time she got injured in a fight but this was too much “Your gonna have to see a doctor when we get back” I said and she rolled her eyes
“Sure” she barely said avoiding my gaze and I could tell she still hadn’t forgotten what I said. I was about to say something but she just continued “Let’s head home and work on a plan to getting these sons of
bitches”
She tried to get up but swayed and Ethan and I reached up to her at the same time but she just glanced at
both of us sadly and shook her head as she let herself lean against Jacob and walk away.
“Give her time” Adrian said “And then talk to her” I nodded and turned to glare at Ethan, he returned the
glare as the others left.
“I’m not stupid.” He said and I kind of knew what he was talking about.
“Could’ve fooled me” I said and I saw as he clenched his jaw and took a deep breath.
“You know what I mean. I’ve seen the way you look at her, and it’s obvious it’s not brotherly love” he said
“What’s it to you?” I asked and he narrowed his eyes at me
“She may hate me now Xavier but I love her. And apart from the fact that she’s my mate. Being with you is
just a recipe for disaster, you have a mate out there and as much as I hate to admit it you can hurt her.” he took a threatening step towards me “And I won’t stand aside this time and watch. I’ll kill you. So help me
god I’ll kill you”
“You have nothing to do with me and Lily” I said “And you’re the one that’s gonna stay away from her”
“We’ll see who ends up staying away and who’ll end up with Lily” he said as we both stared at each other
neither one of us wanting to break the eye contact
“Oh we definitely will” I said before shoving past him and leaving
Lily’s P.O.V.
“Okay honey just keep this wrapped around your arm for tonight and that should be it” The pack doctor told me as she started gathering her things. For some reason she looked familiar, I didn’t know how but
she did.
