“And you are sure he is my mother’s mate?” Damien asks.
Trey nods. “Positive, apparently he was going to help her escape her old Pack but went missing for years. When he came back, she was already a rogue. Now he is obsessed with taking over someone’s pack. Said he wants to start a war with the Blood Moon and Black Moon. Scary bloke too, gave me the creeps, and he isn’t a typical werewolf either, some sort of Hybrid. I can’t explain it. That doesn’t even accurately describe him and he was always injecting your mother and himself with some green liquid”
Alarm bells were going off in my head, ringing loudly, and I could feel the same coming from Damien.
“What was his name?” My stomach turning upside down and twisting in knots. I had a feeling I was going to regret asking that.
“Kane, or Kabe”
“Kade?” I ask.
“Yes, that’s it, Kade, that is your mother’s mate” Trey says and I feel the blood drain from my face. Damien instinctually, pulling me closer as he wraps his arm tightly around my shoulders.
“I am going to need you to recall every little thing you know about Kade and my mother,” Damien tells him. Trey nods before taking a seat at the table.
“Why, may I ask?” He says, looking up at Damien whose jaw is clenched tightly and I can feel how tense his body is, his muscles rippling as he tries to remain in control. I could feel Darian fighting against him, wanting to shift.
“Because the Pack he wants to attack belongs to Lily’s sister, the Lycan queen. Kade is also the man responsible for hurting Lily” Natalia makes some coffee. Trey tells Damien everything he knows, which really isn’t all that much and similar to what he told us. Said that as soon as he found out their plans he ran, not wanting to be involved in any war.
When they leave I kind of wander around not really knowing what to think. Walking upstairs, Damien starts laying painter’s tarps on the floor.
“Will you be right here, I will run you to the Hardware store and you can pick out the paint you want. I just need to speak to my pack and tighten border patrol, and I want to send some scouts out. I think I should also ring Reid and let him know”
“I can come with you” I tell him. Damien shakes his head.
“No, you stay and relax. I won’t be long promise.” He says.
"I can get Natalia to run me”
“Do you know what you want? I can send Max”
I nod and tell Damien, his face going pale slightly. “You’re not going to paint it rainbow, are you?”
Laughing, I shake my head. “No, I want to paint a mural on it”
Damien looks a little taken aback but says nothing.
He kisses my head when his phone beeps. “I gotta go, but Max will be over with what you want in an hour. I will only be gone for a few hours.” He says. Before walking out.
Chapter 40
Lily POV
Max came over and by that time I had finished prepping everything. Max helps me paint the walls all white and when we are done, we wait for the paint to dry. But seeing that the weather is pretty overcast today, I knew it would take hours before I could start painting the wall that Damien had let me have to do as I pleased with. Max eventually went home, but the Alpha didn’t return till nightfall. All day I was left to my thoughts. Questions I wanted answers to. Damien has always been up in my business, yet he never answers my questions about himself. And with all the stuff going on with his mother just made me question his past more. Then there was the entire heat to worry about, Kade, my father’s death, everything just weighing me down and I was becoming homesick. I was watching TV when I heard the front door open. His voice echoing throughout the house.
“Lily?” He sings out.
“In here” I call out to him before I hear his footsteps walk around the corner and into the lounge room. He leans over the couch and kisses the top of my head. “Natalia put your dinner in the oven” I tell him, turning my attention back to the TV.
“I already ate, sorry I took so long” He said before flopping down on the lounge next to me and tugging me to him. He puts his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply.
“What’s wrong?” He asks when I don’t respond to his affection.
“Nothing, I just want to go home” I tell him before pressing the power button and turning the TV off.
“This is your home Lily” He says confused.
“No, my actual home. You know where you kidnapped me from” I tell him and I hear him growl low, it rumbling through his chest.
