Sommer POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING

Lily looked at her and a shiver ran through her. She reached for her and Lily backed away.

“Sommer, I just want to rest, okay? I’m really tired.”

She nodded and began to walk upstairs with her. Sasha stepped in their way to hug her.

“We’re going to head out, sweetheart. If you need anything. link me and we will turn around.”

“Ok. I’m just going to rest.”

“Go ahead.”

Sommer walked silently beside her, watching her out of the corner of her eye. As soon as they got into her room, she curled up under her blankets whille Sommer sat beside her.

“I’ll be right here. Go to sleep“.

Lily shook her head. “Go be with James, TumTum. I know he misses you. I really

She sighed. She missed spending time with him, but she also knew that Lily needed her. She couldn’t make that decision, not knowing that Lily had been more anxious the past few days. She looked at her.

“Lily, 1-

“Sommer, go be with your

mate,” she ordered, letting aura force Sommer out of the room

She cursed and tried to fight it, but admitted defeat when she stopped in front of her bedroom door. She reached for their link.

*If you need me, please, reach out to me. I love you, Lily. I’ll come right back.”

“I love you, too, Sommer”

She flung her door open. “Honey, I’m home,” she announced, before throwing herself onto the bed over [ames.

He slapped her ass and she giggled.

“So, how is your lovely cousin today?”

She rose up to glare at him. “Be quiet when you say that,” she growled.

He shrugged. “Who cares if you are or not?”

“Don’t be a dick. Mom and I are going to tell her.”

“When? I’m tired of lying. She thinks you’re 16. Do you have any idea how bad it looks that I’m 21 and she knows we’ve been sleeping together since we met. You were supposedly 14.”

She groaned and rolled over. “When I met her, I wasn’t sure if she was even Auntie’s daughter. Aunt Layla didn’t leave many clues as to which clan they

were in.”

He shifted her on his body. “I know, love. I’m just frustrated. She’s been your focus for years now. When do I get your attention?”

She grinned down at him. “How about right now? I’ve been ordered away.”

He chuckled and rolled her over again, capturing her lips in the process. His hands quickly removed her top an

top and kissed down her chest. She moaned and arched her back. She tugged at his shirt and quickly pushed his pants down. He pushed her skirt up and shredded her underwear. She giggled.

“Is that your way of saying you missed me?”

He slid into her and they both moaned at the intensity of becoming one again. He slowly pulled out only to sink back into her even deeper. Her claws raked down his back and he growled.

“Yes, baby. Just like that.”

A scream ripped through the air and they both froze. She looked up at him and he immediately pulled out, moving off of her. She grabbed her shirt and raced towards the door as she pulled it on. She careened down the hallway, leaping the stairs and smashing into Lily’s door. She thrust it open and Lily stopped on the way to the bathroom to glare at her. Gregory stepped in next to her.

“GET OUTI DON’T COME IN HERE!

“FUCK!,” Sommer cursed as she was forced out of the room with Gregory at her side. She began to pace in the hallway. “What do we do?”

He agitatedly ran his fingers through his hair. “Tve told Kalani and Sasha. Sasha will be here soon.”

“So, what do we do until they arrive?”

He turned to glare at James. “You can explain how your cousins and how none of us knew.”

Sommer gulped nervously, “You he

heard that?”

Gregory narrowed his eyes. “I hear everything”

She sighed. “My Aunt Layla is my mother’s adopted sister. She had told us about being pregnant before she died. She asked my mother to look after her child if something happened to her. She was afraid.”

“Go on,” he growled, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Well, it took us a long time to find the records for where she was sent as a breeder. We tried to go into the clan to look for her, but we were denied, so we left our pack and joined Wolfsbane. We had no idea how to get close to her to even find out if she was Aunt Layla’s daughter. I was 19, but Mom forged papers to let me be able to go to school with her. I was only supposed to find out if she was Aunt Layla’s. There is no mistake that she is. Ever since then, I’ve been doing my best to protect her. She’s like my sister.”

Gregory growled and she trembled, dropping her head. “Why haven’t you told her?”

“We were going to, but every time we tried we were interrupted. We were going to take her away and after she met Lukas, any chance we had of taking her away disappeared. She wanted to remain where he could find her. If we had been able to convince her, we would have been forced to stay on the

“After this, you are going to tell her.”

She nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Another scream drew their attention back to the room and she tried to enter again, but her body slammed into an invisible barrier.

“FUCK!”

The smell of blood got stronger and they all fell silent as they waited for Sasha. The doors below slammed open and feet pounded up the stairs. They all turned to the end of the hallway and breathed a sigh of relief when Sterling was hurrying towards them with a bag in his hand,

“Why aren’t you in there with her?”

“She ordered us out. Her aura is strong,” Gregory snapped.

His aura surrounded her and she felt Lily’s leave her.

“Go to your friend, Sommer. She needs you.”

She hurried into the room and headed straight to the bathroom. She entered, freezing just inside the smaller room. Lily was in the bathtub and there was blood everywhere. Lily looked up at her miserably. Lily cried out when she saw her.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” she began repeating over and over again.

baby’s hair was wet. She gulped nervously. What had Lily done? The baby lay unmoving and panic set in.

“I didn’t mean to, Sommer. I’m sorry.”

Sommer climbed into the bathtub behind her and hugged her tight as her eyes remained on the baby. The door splintered open and Sterling came in. He looked at the baby and a look of sadness crossed his face.

“Lily, what did you do?”

A sob escaped

her as she clung to Sommer’s arm.

“Nothing. I wanted to, but 1- © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Her words were cut off by a shrill cry. Lily shakily reached for the baby and cradled her in her arms. Sommer rocked them both, breathing a sigh of relief. Lily looked up at him.

“Please, please, I can’t do this, Please, take her away. Give her to someone who will love her,” she begged him.

Sterling crouched beside the tub and tried to take the baby from her. “Give her to me, Lily”

Her arms tightened around the baby. “I can’t.”

“Lily, this doesn’t have to be forever. Let me have her ”

Tears coursed down her face. “Dad, I can’t. Please, take her.”

He touched her cheek. “Then give her to me.”

Lily closed her eyes and put her cheek on the top of the newborn’s head, Sterling’s hand dropped to the baby. She slowly let him take her from her.

“What’s her name?, Sommer asked.

Lily slumped back against her friend. “Lucianna,” she whispered. She turned her head away from her baby. “Because she is the one thing Lukas and I will never have.” She opened her eyes to lean over to her newborn. She touched her cheek. “Lukas and Lilianna.”

Sterling stood up and carefully backed away. “This isn’t forever, Lily,”

She smiled sadly. “It should be.”

He hurried out of the room as Lily collapsed d in Sommer’s arms, sobbing hysterically.

This is so sad

I can understand Lilly not wanted anything to do with the baby. The baby’s a constant reminder of her abuse.She needs to heal properly to be able to accept the fact that the baby is innocent. Hope it’s not too late for her and the baby I have a feeling..

Shaanan Day

I’m proud of her, to give up her baby to be loved. I’m happy she didn’t turn out like Anastasia! bless Lucianna to a loving home
