Chapter 6

Our Pack, the Fire Moon pack, was a huge pack and although the house had enough rooms for us all a lot of pack members, especially mates, got their own 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, Jim had Hazel eyes. “You know we love you right” I looked at him confused

“Yeah sure…” I answered and looked over his shoulder to the rest of the guys who all had guilty looking expressions “What did you do?” I asked with a laugh but they didn’t return it.

“Welcome back Lily. Do you want anything to drink? eat? Oh…I know let’s watch one of your favorite movies and I’ll bring the cookies and Ice cream” Xavier said really fast and my eyes widened. Oh no! They only offered my favorite snack, cookies with ice cream, when something was definitely wrong. I had been living with these guys two years 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 on the a chair.

“We need to leave,” Adrian suddenly snapped and everyone looked at him and glared “What? Someone had to start somewhere” I chuckled and Xavier turned back to me

“Adrian is right we need to leave” he said and I nodded slowly not understanding why the commotion “A pack has asked for our help in training their wolves because of the rogue attacks they’ve been having on their land, they need extra protection”

“Well I don’t know why you’re discussing it with me. Of course 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 sort of one your familiar with.”

“Don’t tell me it’s the Fire Moon pack” I teased “It’s filled with plastic barbies and pervs. “I winked at them and Adrian chuckled at my response but Xavier didn’t move “Just tell me already.”

“It’s the Moon Light Pack” Jim said quickly earning a slap on the back of his head from Dave

“Smooth bro, real smooth” Dave said shaking his head while I just stared in disbelief. After two years I was going back?

“N–no…we can’t…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 can’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 said and I noticed that all the guys were beside me. This is 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 asked wondering how many new members had joined ever since I left.

“They’re trained, just not in a high level. They’re less in numbers than us 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 the pack would have been his for a year now.

“Alpha,” I whispered and looked down.

“Lily 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 really 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 own pack now.
