"Ethan" Keith said sniffing as he wiped a couple of tears, he’s been silent and hasn’t said a thing ever since Lily came back shot and hurt "Your parents and mine are here, what should I tell them about her?"
"I’ll talk to them" I said and went downstairs and into the living room where I was immediately swarmed
I took a breath and motioned for them to shut up "Lily was shot" I said "She had custom made bullets and she was shot with one of them." I took a deep breath "She needed blood so we gave her and...and her heart stopped just a few moments go but we got it beating"
Lily’s mom gasped and held on to Greg "You mean she might..."
I snapped my gaze at her and looked her in the eye "No she won’t, she won’t die" I said more to myself than to her but nevertheless she burst in tears
"I bet you’re happy now" Greg said "You don’t have to deal with a mate anymore" I growled and in a moment had him backed up against the wall holding him up by the collar of his shirt
"Don’t you dare say that" I snarled "Don’t. You. Dare" I felt a hand on my shoulder and knew it was my mom so I let him go and he stood up and dusted himself off as I looked at him, pained. "I understand where you’re coming from and I deserve the way you’re treating me." I gulped "But don’t you dare say anything like that ever again."
He just stared at me as if analyzing what I was saying and I continued "I. Love. Her" I said "I’llalways love her. She means the world to me and I screwed up, badly. I’ll never forget what an asshole I was to her, I’ll never forgive myself"
I turned my back on all of them and went upstairs and immediately went to check on Lily. Miranda was in the room, she wrote a few things on a notepad and turned to me "Alpha there’s something important I have to tell you"
"What? Is it Lily? Is she okay?" I said hastily and she sighed
"This first night is crucial, if she lives through tonight there’s a chance she might wake up but..." She sighed "But the problem is they gave her Lycotine in wrong doses, her wolf was suppressed too much and then the drug in the bullet reacted with the Lycotine and..."
"And even if she survives this night there’s possibility she won’t be able to change to her wolf form anymore"
"What?" I asked shocked "That’s not possible, that’s never happened. She can’t just stop being a wolf. She’s gonna be human?"
"It’s unheard of but it might happen" she said "it’s going to be a very drastic change in her life she’s gonna need you guys" she looked at me warningly and I growled
"Of course I’m gonna be there for her" I snarled and then I looked at her as another thought came to me "If she turns human" I gulped "What about the mate bond?"
"Wolves can mate with humans" she said but then took a deep breath "But seeing as she wasn’t always human. I don’t know, the bond might be broken"
"What do you mean broken?"
"What I mean to say is, you won’t have the bond forcing you to stay together. It’s a possibility but I’m not sure, it’s never happened before" she looked at me sympathetically "But alpha, there’s still a chance she won’t even make it through the night. There’s a 70% chance she might die"
"She won’t" I said with anger "She won’t die"
"Alpha, you have to accept that possibility--"
"SHE"S NOT GOING TO DIE"
"GET OUT" I yelled at her, my wolf taking over as I put my alpha power in the command "get out"
she immediately left the room and I just stared at Lily thinking of what I’d do if she died, if i couldn’t see her smile brightly at me, if I couldn’t hear her laugh again or see her roll her eyes at me.
"Ethan?" I heard a familiar sound say behind me and a few minutes later I heard the door close and mom walked and stood in front of me "Are you okay?"
"You want the truth or what I’m supposed to say as Alpha?" I asked not taking my eyes off of my mate.
"I’m your mother of course I want the truth"
"Then no I’m not" I walked to the ouch near Lily’s bed and sat, she immediately sat beside me
"I hate seeing you " my mom said cupping my cheek and I finally looked at her, smiling gently at her worried face.
"Like a broken man." She said her eyes filling up with tears "Like someone who has lost the will to live"
I sighed, my gaze wandering to Lily before going back to her "I can’t live without her mom. but I still don’t deserve her"
"Everything’s gonna be okay"
"No it’s not" I said my voice breaking "Even if....when she lives through this. There’s a chance she won’t be able to change to her wolf form. Do you know what that’ll do to her?How that’ll destroy her" For more chapters visit novel✦fire.net
"At least she’ll have you-"
"What good will that do her?" I snapped and then then chuckled humorlessly "What good have Idone her so far? This is all my fault" Tears formed in my eyes and I felt my chest tighten "God this is all my fault mom" and that’s when I snapped.
