“Lily will reject you, she doesn’t want a mate” He said. He almost seemed sad for her. Was she really that broken that she didn’t feel worthy of a mate or was there some other reason?
“Why?”
“Don’t play dumb boy I know you have heard the rumours about my daughter, who hasn’t she can’t be tamed, believe me we have tried”
Aria looked between us and Reid sat back placing his hand on her shoulder, she relaxed under his touch before smiling sadly.
“Maybe this is what her wolf needs,” She whispered. Alpha David looked at her before nodding.
“So, what do you want to do?” He asked, looking back at me.
“I want to take her home with me.”
“No, she doesn’t even know you’re her mate she won’t go with you willingly”
“Well, what do you suppose then?” I asked.
“Lily turns eighteen next week, Lily told me her wolf keeps telling her eighteen everything will make sense, she has been repeating it for weeks. What you need to understand Alpha, my daughter isn’t like any wolf you have ever met, her wolf holds no bond to my daughter, our wolves are a part of us, linked through our memories becoming a piece of us, Lily’s wolf isn’t. She is cunning, ruthless and uncontrollable, they are two entities sharing one body. They call my daughter the unhinged for a reason, her wolf is dangerous and so is she. Lily has given up trying to tame her, given up on herself. You walking into her life won’t change that”
“Why didn’t you tell me this David, I have a right to know. If Lily’s wolf has started talking to her why didn’t you tell me” Aria bellowed standing up, her seat falling to the ground. She was livid.
“Lily didn’t want you to know Aria, I won’t go against my daughter. I know you raised her. I get that but she isn’t a little girl anymore she can make her own decisions and that was one of them. She didn’t want you to know because she didn’t want you to worry” Aria seemed to calm down but still looked pissed.
Alpha David turned to me again. “Stay till her eighteenth birthday, maybe her wolf will recognise yours if she does all good, but if she doesn’t you need to prepare yourself”
“If she does, I want to take her home with me back to my Pack”
“Let's see how you survive being around her for the next week before we go making decisions for Lily, I think you will find, you might get more than you bargained for. Lily is strong willed and won’t go easily” Reid spoke up. I could tell he cared deeply for Lily; I would even say as much as her father.
“Stay with us for the next week then we will decide what happens next” I nodded. I could live with this decision, if it meant I could remain close to Lily. I never needed anyone but finding her, my other half I knew, I would never feel complete without her. I would make sure she becomes mine, even if it means taking her by force. But for now, I will let her decide if not I would decide for her.
“You agree, Alpha David? I know you don’t like me for my father’s doings, but I would never hurt your daughter. I just want what’s mine and Lily is mine” Alpha David uncrossed his arms a look of defeat on his face. I knew he was tired of his daughter's wild ways, maybe I was the answer he had been looking for. I just hoped Lily would see that too.
Chapter 3
Lily POV
I went home and freshened up, taking a shower before finding some clothes to wear to the party. I quickly did my hair and make-up before rushing out of the pack house. Only to stop when I ran out of the Pack house and straight into my father. He turned around an amused expression on his face.
“Where are you going kiddo?”
“To hang out with Amber,” I told him, giving him my best innocent smile. He looked down at my clothes. I was wearing a tartan mini skirt and a black singlet. I thought I looked fine, apparently not.
“Not like that you’re not” What? Since when did he care what I wore? I went to walk past him, but his hand grabbed my arm.
“Go put something else on, I won’t have you looking like a tramp around the Alpha” Excuse me, he did not just call me a tramp.
“Let me at him” I heard Layla pop her head up, aggression being her favourite emotion. “Shut up Layla, this is my dad” I told her.
“Lily I mean it. Go change now” He can’t be serious, and which bloody Alpha? Reid doesn't give a rats arse what I wear. “Which Alpha?” I asked him.
“Alpha Damien Lily, now go change; he won’t like seeing you walking around with unmated wolves wearing that”
“I thought he left and what’s it to him what I wear? I will wear what I want. I don’t have to impress some Alpha Dad, that’s why I stepped down remember”
I heard him growl, annoyed at the attitude I was giving him. Usually, my father was a piece of cake to work around now, he was acting all different. I wonder what got under his skin.
“Either change or you’re not going, Alpha Damien is staying until after your Eighteenth birthday. I don’t want you embarrassing me” Embarrassing him, and since when did he start liking Alpha Damien? His father and mine were constantly at each other’s throats when I was kid, so why the sudden worry of what he will think?
