I look across to Lilah as we pull into the car park outside the pack house and she is fast asleep. I shake her lightly and she doesn’t stir.
Guys can you help unload the care? Lilah is sleeping, I’m going to carry her up. I link the others as their car pulls up alongside mine.
I step out of the car to find the others walking toward my car, “Thank you” I smile to them as they open the trunk and start taking out bags.
I walk toward to the passenger side and open the door, Lilah is still fast asleep, I unhook the seatbelt and slip my arms under her legs pulling her close to my body, and lifting her, she doesn’t even stir other than to snuggle into my chest, her long hair tickling my arms.
I had to do my best to make sure I wasn’t flashing her butt as she still only had on the oversize T–shirt she had found in the woods earlier. I quickly walked through the pack house and straight up to my Alpha suite, I had given Jake the key so the door was already open for them to start putting the bags in, I carried her straight into the spare bedroom I have here that never gets used. I had asked my mum to get it set up for Lilah, my mum was so excited and had immediately agreed.
She had been so happy to hear I had found my mate, even though I had tried to explain it was complicated she hadn’t listened… I walked into the room to see there were some flowers in a vase on a bedside table next to the bed, fresh deep purple bedding on the double bed. I flicked the duvet back and laid her inside pulling the covers back over her to make sure she was warm.
We’d talk about decorating the room how she liked it tomorrow or in the next few days, right now she needed sleep… despite it being…I looked to my phone.. only 9pm. Bless her.. been hell of a day!
The guys were bringing bags in so I got them to put them in the corner of the bedroom for Lilah to sort out when she felt ready.
We walked to the living room leaving her to sleep.

“Fuck man that was hell of a day” Dan spoke first.
He ain’t fucking wrong!

“Too right. I’m sorry guys. I did not expect that today.” I said, unsure what else to
say.
“I thought it was Lilah’s Dad to start with, was shocked when I realised it was his Dad. I knew he was angry from his reaction reading those messages. They clearly love Lilah, though I think any one of us would have defended her honour that way. You don’t forcibly mark someone” Gabe said, again, he wasn’t wrong.
“I know. It’s going to take some getting used to I think for them all. I thought it was Beta Trent too, their wolves are similar at first glance. I think he acted on a quick decision. Maybe he will live to regret it. Who knows. It’s likely the council would have gone on to punish Logan similarly if he had managed to get hold of Sky and mark her…” I sigh, not wanting to think about it.
“You want us to stay?” Manuel asks.
Part of me wonders if he wants to to make sure Lilah is ok. He seems to be really protective over her, Jake had told me that he had mentioned to him his wolf Rey had felt a pull to Lilah and her wolf, it made me question if they could tell she was meant to be their Luna, as Jake had felt similar through his wolf Jaxx.
But I shake my head “Nah I’m going to get showered and be there for when she wakes up. Time for me to step up and show her I can be a good mate, if that’s what she chooses” I smile sadly, knowing I still had that fight on my hands yet.
Hey Knox in her heart she knows you are a good mate. Manuel links me She’s just scared brother… She will know… he smiles at me.
He’s a good guy. A big softie.. he knew he’d get ribbed for being soppy that’s why he’s done it through mindlink.. but I appreciated his words. I just hope he his right… as I wasn’t so sure…
The guys give me hugs or high fives and quietly leave my place being careful to be quiet to not wake Lilah. I lock the door behind them and go check in on Lilah and she is still fast asleep. Today must have really took it out of her.
I go toward my room for a shower, making sure to leave both my bedroom door

open and my en–suite bathroom door open in case Lilah needs me. Though going off the fact how deeply she was asleep I think it’s unlikely….
I grab a towel and head for the shower, chucking the borrowed shorts on the floor as I step under the stream of hot water, it eases some of the tension in my body from the day. I wash myself of the dirt and possible blood from when we were in
the woods.
I swear that was the last thing I expected to happen.. I hope Alpha Grayson will be ok…he must be battling with himself over what he had to do… it was because of him I had my mate laying next door…. I would always owe him that and I needed to make sure he knew that…
I rinsed my hair off and then stepped out of the shower, instantly reaching for the towel, wrapping it around my waist.
To be honest I was tired too… as early as it was I may go bed myself… a lot has changed since yesterday….crazy how much fate can change things……
Suddenly a scream hits my ears, and I am running out of my bathroom….
Lilah! Oh no, is she ok?
I open the bedroom door, and she is sat upright in bed shaking, I quickly cross the room to her, A nightmare perhaps? After today that would be understandable..
I sit on the edge of the bed “Lilah? You ok?” I ask.
She flings her arms around my neck. She was shaking. I hated seeing my mate like this. Whether she saw me as her mate or not, I saw her as mine and I did not like to see her struggling.
“He killed you..” she gasped her body trembling, tears coming from her eyes….
What?
“Sweet I think you had a nightmare. I’m here, with you.” I tried to reassure her.
“Logan killed you…” she sobbed into my chest… definitely a nightmare, I think the events of today had been playing on her mind as she fell asleep and that resulted
in this…

“No Lilah my love, it is Logan that is gone. I am here with you.” I stand slightly to lift her from the bed to place her on my knee.
I hold her close to me hoping the beat of my heart may soothe her… I am sure this is good for a mate… I am sure I have heard this… I feel her ease slightly in my
arms.
“It was a dream?” She whispers lifting her head so her mouth is near my ear, I feel the warm breath as she speaks and it gives me chills. I was already feeling sparks and tingles just from our touch alone due to the mate bond but this sent it to a whole other level.
I simply nod, unsure I can speak right now. “Knox…” she whispers again.
Shit does she know what she is doing to me?… I nod once more.
