Life After the Storm

chapter 21

LANDON'S POV

I'm confessed how Sam and Lilly know each other, especially when his pack is new to the area he hasn't been around long. I don't know Lilly's backstory, but I need to know how she really knows him. I don't want trouble with any other packs. Something just doesn't seem right, especially her face expression. She almost seems like she is nervous or scared. I try to ignore it but when she runs out, I know something has to be off with them.

I look at Sam “do you have that effect on all women when they see you they have to run.”

“I guess I should probably go try to find her. I think that I may have surprised her by being here.”

I look at Jenny “ok well we will keep each other company until you guys come back here.”

I watch him leave. I become curious to how he knows Lilly wondering if they have been together. Knowing she is very desirable not wanting her to be with anyone else wanting her all to myself. Even though I'm just not ready for a solid relationship yet, I still desire her, wanting her taste.

“So Jenny, what are you planning to get out of the rearranged marriage that dad has planned for you?”

“I want to come and join your pack and cut all ties at home.”

“Jenny, you're more than welcome to join, but I'm not sure if that plan would really work dad would just come and get you?”

“Not if he doesn't know that I'm here I could make myself unknown where I just disappeared,”

“I'm not sure if dad is that blind he is pretty smart. Are you sure that you're willing to risk everything.”

“I don't want to be forced, I want to find my mate and fall in love and marry him.”

“Then talk to dad and see if there is a way out of it that will make you both happy.”

“You know that dad is not going to let me out of this damn it Landon.”

I watch her storm out the door. I feel bad, but she knows our father will not give up so easily. Even if she finds her mate, she won't be able to be happy with him, father won't allow it. She can join my pack but doesn't mean that father won't come looking for her. I'm not sure how I can really help her. I then realize that it is quite which is never good. I go to look for Jayden, but he is nowhere to be found, not even in his room.

So, I decide to go over to Lilly's cabin to search for Jayden to see if he came searching for her, but I suddenly realize that he isn't there. I then hear Lilly's pleasure moans. Wondering who the fuck is pleasuring her, I want to knock the fucking door in, but I resit. Knowing that she isn't mine, that she doesn't belong to me even if I wanted her to. So, instead I knock on her door when she answers, I can tell she is all heated from whoever she is fucking. I ask if she wants to go on the tour of the pack still. She tells me she will be over soon. Really, I can't believe that she is with someone. I then go back to my house to wait for her at my house. When I get to my house I walk through the house trying to find Jayden. Wondering where the hell has he gone. Not seeing him hoping that he didn't run off again.

All of a sudden, I hear a howl that I have never heard before, and I know that someone is in danger as I run out to see what is happening. That's when I see Lilly who has a rouge by its throat and all she does is bite down, and it automatically breaks the rouge's neck. Shocked at how strong she is, I have never seen that before. I am confused about what actually happened. That's when I see him when she walks over to him my gut fills up with terror as it begins to run through me.

I shift to my Wolf to help, but she does not need my help. I try to get to my son, but she will not allow me to go near him. She lets out a terrifying growl to warn me to stay back. I don't know how she expects me to stay back. I need to help him, he is my everything I can't lose him to. I can see from the hurt in her eyes that she is worried also, which scares me even more.

I don't care about her warning. I need to take care of my son, but then her mind links me “I know what I am doing. I will save him just back off.”

How dare she not allow me to help my child who does she think she is to talk to her alpha this way. I am so angry I know the only reason that Jayden was out here was probably to find her. He is so excited about Lilly for what reasons I don't know, but I know the reasoning is because of her that he got attacked.

As I am watching her, I am in shock, she is healing him. I have never in my life seen what she is doing, but I don't care because she is saving him. Which I am so thankful for. When she is finished, she tells me to take him to Dean that she will come when she can.

So, I pick him up and rush him to Deans, hoping that he will be ok. He has no open wounds. I know that she saved him and once his body makes up for the blood he lost that he would be ok. He will wake up. How could I allow this to happen? I should have been paying attention? Thinking that Jenny and Sam left right before all this took place because they did not come running over.I try to reassure other pack members everything is fine, that there will be a pack meeting in the morning. To go over everything that has happened in the past couple days with the rouge attacks.

As I rush to Deans, he comes in a hurry and looks at Jayden. Even though his body was covered in blood, he had no open wounds at all; they were all healed. It was remarkable how she healed him. How did she do this there is no other way to explain other than she really is a Healer?

I watched her walk into Dean's house. I'm so furious with her because this is her fault he was trying to find her, and he got attacked. I don't know why I feel so furious at her. She saved him. Then why do I feel this way? I want to scream at her, but then I hear my son speak and tears start to form in my eyes. I am so happy that he is awake?

I can't believe that he wants Lilly to stay with him. I'm his father and he should want me to stay. When he said he was looking for Lilly, I knew that was the reason why he left it was because of her. She was getting fucked while my son was being attacked. She is not staying here with us, I don't want her here. I'm in shock that all this has happened. As I watch Lilly walk out of his room, I realize I'm wrong. I know that Lilly would not allow him to get hurt if she could help it. I'm such a fool I shouldn't have been so rude. I am just so scared at this moment it is easier to focus all my anger on someone to actually face what the hell has happened.

“Daddy I'm sorry that I left without telling you again you were talking to Aunt Jenny.”

“Buddy, you need to tell me where you go no matter what so I can protect you.”

“Okay daddy I will, I promise but daddy you know you can't be mad at Lilly she didn't do anything.”

“I know I was just angry.”

“Well, I think that you should tell her that you are sorry for being mean to her daddy.”

“Ok I will but for now, please get some rest so when Lilly comes tomorrow you will have the energy to get out of this bed.”

“Ok Daddy I will go back to sleep. I love you.”

“I love you buddy” I kiss his forehead.

I wait until he falls asleep. I go to walk out of the room there are no lights on in the house I go to get a drink of water. As I look out the window at the Alaskan sky, that's when I notice something not sure what it is. I open the door and that's when I see Lilly sleeping on the steps I go and pick her up and carry her inside to the couch and lay her down on it, and then I go back and stay with Jayden.
