“No I know. But we promised to help her. We need to do that…. Jake, you remember when we went to the lake and you saw bruises on her?” I look at him pointedly.

He looks at me puzzled but nods. “Yeah we assumed it was from fighting with Gabe”

I slowly shake my head. I go on to explain the bullying and torture she has endured over the last year from Anya and her friends. Indie sobbing, I am unsure if she realised it was as bad as it had become. My friends all look in shock, and angry too.

Manuel, still at her feet kneels up to hold her close to him “Oh mi amor, I wish you felt able to tell us…

you should never have had to go through this alone…. you don’t have to go through this alone now…. Right Knox?”

“I hope not” I say, glad at least one of my friends is there for her “she will always have me, whether its

as a mate or as a friend that is yet to be decided but I am here, I hope you guys can be too…I know

there have been a few things you don’t agree with, but like I said, I don’t agree with them either, but I

understand she was struggling and didn’t know what else to do and made a mistake, it’s me it

effected more than anyone, and right now I am happy I know who my mate is…. I just need to convince her she should be happy too” I joke.

“If you’re good we’re good” Jake says looking at me and the others nod “I knew there was something with you two…” I laugh.

“So what’s going to happen?” Gabe asks “are you ok Lilah? She cant go back there Knox….”

“I know dude, I have no plan for that, other than to tell them she is my mate, though we may need to come up with a reason why it took so long for us to work out…” Í explain.

I look to Lilah, I see she looks to be zoned out, her eyes staring out of the big window in the living. room. I pull her close to me, she looks up at me for a second, smiles and then her gaze falls back to the window as I continue to explain” The plan to help Lilah still stands, but its ramped up now, and we now have a strong reason for her needing to be at pack, they cant argue, we will get her settled here. As for me and her, I don’t know, she said she had decided a long time ago she never wanted a mate…. She is scared if she lets herself love or be loved she will get hurt…”

“That’s crazy when its your mate though” Dan sighs.

“Yeah but you didn’t see how much she struggled baby, he destroyed her with his games too” Indie instantly defended her friend, despite her reaction to all this earlier.

“There is a pull there for her I can sense it…” I continue “so I have asked her to not use the stuff from the witch, let the bond take effect, see how it makes her feel.. I think I was falling for her anyway even without the bond there, either that or the stuff the witch gave her wasn’t as effective as it meant to be.

I don’t know…I have told her there is no pressure from me, I know it will be hard as Knight is going crazy for his mate already, but I asked her to at least try, and if after a little time she still isn’t ready for a mate I will accept her rejection as much as it is the last thing I want…”

I look down, I can feel tears in my eyes at the thought or possibility of her rejecting me, Knight is going crazy in my head at that thought too… he’s just found his mate, he doesn’t want to lose her….

“You cant let her reject you Knox, you have waited so long for her….” Manuel speaks up from his seat

kneeled on the floor in front of Lilah.

“I need to do what is right for her… she needs the chance to be happy….” I sigh “if that means not being my mate I will have to accept that….” I stand up.
