Chapter 6

Our Pack, the Fire Moon pack, was huge, and although the house had enough rooms for us all, a lot of pack members, especially mates, got their place after a while. I walked in the house and headed to the kitchen, where I knew the guys would be. "LI-LY," Dave yelled, hugging me. I knew it was Dave from the color of his eyes. Dave had light green eyes, and Jim had Hazel eyes. "You know we love you, right?" I looked at him, confused "Ye, ah sure..." I answered and looked over his shoulder to the rest of the guys, who were looking expectantly. sessions "What did you do?" I asked with a laugh, but they didn’t return it. "Welcome, ba, Lily. Do you want anything to eat? Eat? Oh...I, now let’s watch one of your favorite movies, and I’ll bring the cookies and ice cream." Xavier slyly, fast, and my eyes widened. Oh no! They only offered my favorite snack, cookies with ice cream, when something went wrong. I have been living with the guys for two years, and now, I know them by heart. "What’s wrong? Come on, tell me," I urged and looked at each one of them "Is it about the rogues?" I asked, "Well...Sort of." Xavier scratched the back of his neck. "Look, please sit down." I nodded and sat in a chair. "We need to leave," Adrian suddenly snapped, and everyone looked at him and glared. "What? Someone had to start somewhere," I chuckle, and Xavier turned back to me. "Adrian, I'm right, we need to leave," he said, and I nodded slowly, not understanding why the co. Motion "A pack has asked for our help in training their wolves because of the rogue attacks they’ve been having on th;ir land, they need extra protection." "Well,l I don’t know why you’re discussing it with me. Of course, see you’re saying yes, right? I mean, you can’t just leave the pack to be killed by rogues. And you know I love training rookies." I had become the official trainer a year ago. Turns out I was a natural at fighting, and Adrian gave me the reins on training the pack members. "Lily, I did say yes, I wouldn’t let innocent pack members be killed," he looked at me with worry and guilt. "But...the pack is soryou're one you're familiar with." "Don’t tell me it’s the Fire Moon, pack," I te. Based "It’s filled with plasBarbieses and pervs."I winked at him, and Adrian chuckled at my response, but Xavier didn’t move. "Just tell me already." "It’s the Moon Light, Pac,k" Jim said qu, quickly earning a slap on the back of his head from. "Smooth, bro, real smooth," Dave said he was shaking his head while I just stared in disbelief. After two years, I was going back? "N-no...we can’t...them not them....no" I stuttered and stood up and started pacing. "We have no choice, Lily. Believe me, we don’t want to either; we know the assholes that are there." Xavier made me stop pacing and look at him. "But they can’t hurt you anymore. You have us now, and we won’t let them say one wrong word to you." I shook my head vigorously. "What if they start with the comments and yelling again? You won’t always be there, I can’t handle being humiliated in public for being ugly again, I just ca t," I said, finally throwing myself in a seat with my head in my hands. "Ugly? Lily, get it through your thick head that you were never ugly. Hell, you’re even hotter now. If anything, you’ll prove to them that you’re not the same girl you were and that if they think they can walk all over you, they’re wrong." Adrian, ID, and I noticed that all the guys were beside me. This is a real family, I said to myself. People who won’t hurt you. I cleared my throat and took a deep breath to calm myself and nodded. I shoved aside all the thoughts of my old pack and focused on my job. "Okay, how many wolves are untrained over there?" I was wondering how many new members had joined since I left. "They’re trained, just att in a high level. They’re fewer in numbers than u,s, and even though their alpha has tried to prepare them, they aren’t so skilled in fighting." Xavier answered, but my mind went blank after he said ’Alpha’. Ethan would be alpha by now, at eighteen, and the pack would have been his for a year now. "Alpha," I whispered and looked down. "Li, ly are you o--" "I’m fine," I snapped my head up. "So when are we leaving?" "Tomorrow," I took a shaky breath and nodded. "I guess I should go pack." I got up and ran out of the kitchen. As soon as I got to my room, I closed the door and threw myself on the bed. I was going back home. To a brother and pack who hate me. And to a mate who rejected me. NO! It won’t be the same, I won’t let it be. I have my pack now. I’m stronger now, and I have my boys behind me no matter what. I heard a knock on my door and told whoever it was to come in without lifting my head off the pillow. "Are you okay?" I recognised the voice as Jacob and felt the bed shift as he sat on it. I groaned and sat up. "I’m just...Scared," I admitted, and Jacob hugged me. "Come on, Lil, you know you’re not the same shy girl anymore. You can stick up for yourself, and I’m pretty sure you can kick their as if anything, and you’ll have us with you. Do you think we would let anyone hurt our baby sister?" he asked, and I smiled. They all called me their baby sister.
