Chapter 29

Uncle Rob groaned “Don’t remind me I’m just hoping it’s a long while before she decides to be…well…like a teenager”
All of us laughed even my pack as the baby fell asleep in my arm
“You really are a natural at this Lily” Aunt Catherine said smiling at me “You’ll make a great mother when you find your mate”
I almost froze but willed myself to keep swaying. I sighed, feeling everyone’s gaze on me, including Ethan. “Maybe, maybe not” I said as calmly as possible “But until then i get the joy of spoiling your daughter silly”
“As long as you don’t let her go near any boys it’s fine with me” Uncle Rob said and that lightened up everyone’s mood “Now I know what your father went through. And I used to tease him when he’d say he was worried about you liking boys”
I rolled my eyes, dad never faced that problem with me. No one liked me but then again he didn’t know that
“So Lily speaking of boys any in your life?” Uncle Rob asked trying to be subtle. I almost laughed
“Only my boys over there” I nodded my head to the boys who were siting on the couch “Otherwise no Uncle Rob”
“Great then” he said beaming “Why don’t you be with my boy over here. You know when he was going to find his mate I just hoped it was you. But since both of you haven’t found your mates why not be together?”
I felt my heart clench at his words and was speechless. Ethan looked at me with a pained expression and I just wanted him to say something.
“Come on Uncle Rob. Don’t torture me, my sister and best friend is a big no-no” Keith said saving me and I felt nothing but gratitude “I have enough time as it is beating guys in the pack with a stick so they don’t flirt with her”
“Now that I didn’t know” I said playing along and laughing before throwing Keith a grateful smile.
“Oh look at the time we need to put Rose to bed dear” Catherine said. Uncle Rob nodded and they both stood up and said they’re goodbyes before leaving.
“Well that was…interesting” I said sitting between Adrian and Xavier
“Lily I’m sorry I didn’t say anything I just didn’t know what–” Ethan started but I interrupted him
“It’s okay I was speechless too” I smiled at him, he looked taken back but smiled back at me. Hey, I didn’t necessarily like the guy but I wasn’t going to be mean to him 24/7 that would be bitchy.
“it’s still 7 and I’m bored. Let’s go run” I said to my boys/
I just wanted to get out, vent. And it was either running wolf or working out, hopefully the guys would pick up on my mood and accept
“Sure” the guys said standing up with me as we headed out into the woods. I hid behind a tree and took my clothes off and changed before joining the guys again.
You know you really looked cute holding that baby Lily Adrian said through the mind link as we started running.
She was just adorable and she looked so much like d– I cut myself mid thought She was adorable
I heard a growl that I knew just came from Xavier who was in front of me. i was in the middle, as always because the guys wanted me protect me from all sides even though I can protect myself.
jase what’s wrong? I asked him
nothing he answered angrily running a bit faster
It’s obviously not nothing what’s wrong? I persisted but he just growled and blocked his thoughts. Wait WHAT? jason never and I mean NEVER blocks his thoughts from me. What happened?
Guys what the hell is wrong with him? I asked with worry
Donno he was fine before Jim answered
Wonder why he snapped Dave added
You guys are idiots Adrian commented
yeah Jacob agreed I mean I see why Lily doesn’t see it but you two.
See what? I asked
Nothing Jacob answered.
Look let’s run and change back I want to talk to him they all agreed and we turned and ran back jason would get we were going back.
When I finally pulled my clothes on I went to Xavier.
“What. Is. Wrong?” I asked him as he glared at me, his eyes completely black.
“nothing” he said walking past me but I grabbed his arm and stood in front of him
“Tell me” I said pleadingly, he just continued to glare
“Move Lily” he said through clenched teeth. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ
“No” I said determined, crossing my arms “Since when do we hide things from each other jase?”
“Since it’s not any of you fuckin business” he said angrily. Wow he must be really md if he cursed around me, he hated doing that.
“I don’t care tell me” I said “what’s your problem?”
“you wanna know what my problem is Lily? You’re my problem.” He said pushing me aside I almost fell but held myself and followed him
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” I asked angrily. he stopped and turned around, angry as hell.
