“Lily wait” he said and I turned cautiously, Ignoring the tingles on my arm. he looked hesitantly at me before reaching to his jacket and pulling out a plece of paper.
“Look 1- I know I’m not your favorite person right now” he sand in an almost pained voice, he avoided meeting my eyes and just looked at the ground “And believe me I’m going to work on changing that determination was so clear in his voice that I hit my lip nervously “But for now just take this” he handed me the paper “It’s my phone number Lily. I know you’ll probably never use it but fut in case you you need something. Anything Lily, you call me right away. I don’t care what time it is I’ll be there in a flash.”
“Ethan 1 don’t kno–”
“Lily please it’ll keep me sare” he looked up at me, his eyes pleading. Why the sudden interest? I had no idea.
ad to say something. But I didn’t. I just went
“Okay I guess I said taking the paper from him. Ethan nodded and turned around, I bit my lip feeling like had to my room and looked at the number in my hand and saved it on my phone.
Okay so that wasn’t how I have been treating Ethan since we came. But just like he said, that was the first time we were that close and in the end he was my mate, the chemistry would always be there.
I needed a change of place so I decided to go to my parent’s house for dinner. My mom always knew how to cook the best meals and I kind of missed her cooking
1 quietly walked down the stairs to go to my bike and drive to my parent’s house.
I parked my bike and took off my helmet. My brows furrowed as I noticed my old bedroom’s lights were on
I knocked on the door and it immediately opened to reveal my mom.
“Lily” she said happily begging me “Come in honey” I pot in and hugged my dad as well.
or food mem” I told her smiling warmly. My mom grinned at me
“I thought I’d come have dinner with you guys It’s been a while since I’ve tasted your food
“That’s perfect and with Keith here as well we can have dinner just like we used to” she said happily
Wait Keith is here?” I asked.
“Yes he’s in your room” Something flashed in her eyes for a second before she excused herself to go check on dinner. What was Keith doing in my room?
“I think I’m going to go to tay room a bar” I said gesting up, my father just nodded trying to be nonchalant but
ut it didn’t really work well.
I went up the stairs and quietly went to my room. Lopened the door slowly and saw Keith sitting on my bed with his back to me
“Mom I said I’ll be down in a minute I have to go back to the pack house anyway it’s getting late” Keith said
“Keith?” I whispered and 1
be stillened I walked up to fum and sat beside him
Keith didn’t look up he kept his eyes on a picture he had in front of him. It was a picture of us when we were young. I was still a blond and a bit fat and he was as handsome as wet.
“This is the only picture I could find with you in it” he stated in a low voice “I couldn’t believe it at first.
“I wasn’t a fan of pictures” I shrugged and tried to catch a glimpse of his face but I couldn’t get a good look it was too dark. But I could tell he was thinner.
“Yeah I know. Because of us” he said with disgust. I didn’t say anything. What could I say? I couldn’t think of anything “You have every right to hate me Lily. Hell hate myself, I’ve been bating myself ever since you left. Ever since..ever since I realized what an asshole I’d been”
He looked at me then and I was surprised to see tears streaming down his face. It broke my heart. Keith, my strong big brother who didn’t take shit from anyone, looked so vulnerable
“I–I’m sorry….I’m so sorry. I don’t expect you to forgive me Lily. I was stupid. I just wanted to be as–strong wolf, ag–good b–beta. I was so stupid. T–two years Lily” he took my hands in his and I just stared at him in shock. “For two..two years my life has been a wreck. Be–because I…I knew it was my fault..my fault th–that my sister. My s–sweet, innocent, little sister, had to..had to run away to be h–happy” be closed his eyes “th–that I wasn’t there for you it killed me Lily. It kills me”
Tears kept flowing down his face as he took a shaky breath. “I know I have no right to ask you to forgive me so I won’t. I won’t put you in that situation but god–” be choked on his breath and tried to talk again God. I’m so so sorry. I don’t deserve to to be your…brother Lily. I. I’m trash. No brother does th–this. No brother tr–treats his sister the the way I treated you. 1” he closed his eyes tightly “I’ll never forget. Every..every thing I said I..I won’t Lily. Never. You could scream at me, yell at me, hit me and it would be just a small price to pay for what I put you through for so..so long Lily”
