Life After the Storm

LILLY'S POV

I am so weak I can't move, when I open my eyes all I see is black, I become confused. I then have trouble knowing if my eyes are open or shut. I look around, trying to find any light, but nothing. What the fuck is going on? I go to move, but I can't move. It's like I'm paralyzed. I hear a voice. It sounds like a female voice, but I'm not sure who it is. I never heard this voice before. Who could this be and what do they want with me.

I can tell the voice is getting closer. I start to become nervous trying to make out what she is saying, but I can't. I start to become angry with myself for not being able to understand what she is saying. I open my mouth to scream, what do you want, but nothing comes out. It's like I'm mute.

What the fuck is happening? I have no idea. Was I captured? Oh my God, Jayden, what if they attacked us, and now we're being held captive? I become so frustrated trying to break free, trying to bring my body back from being paralyzed, but nothing I can't move. What if Jayden's being tortured as we speak, and I can't save him?

"Stop, everything is OK, You are just simply sleeping, and your body is recovering."

"Who are you, where am I?"

I ask in desperation, wanting to know what this woman wants with me. All of a sudden, the black turns to light. I then realize my eyes were open. As the bright light burns my eyes, making me close them. I begin to blink, trying to adjust to the bright light. Once my vision becomes clear, I then see a woman, but her back is towards me.

"I betrayed him, yes, I was his mate by chance. But his father came to me after he found out and made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. I played him so well, it was so easy. Then I fall in love with him and Jayden came along. They became my life. So, I convinced Landon to create his own pack, and we left. Hoping that leaving his father's pack would be enough for his father, but it wasn't. He wanted to make me pay for my betrayal, so he wanted to take what was most important to me. I was terrified that Jayden would make a sound. I prayed he wouldn't, when they couldn't find him. They killed me instead.”

Then I realize the woman is Landon's mate, Jayden's mother. She had some part in this too. How far does all this go back? I don't even know what to say to her. What did she want so badly that it was wroth, losing her mate and child?

"I ask her why does his father want to kill him so badly?"

"That wasn't the deal the deal was for me to give him our firstborn child. I thought it would be okay, I could always have another. When it came down to it, I couldn't give him Jayden, I loved him too much. I'm s ashamed of what I did, but I need you to wake up and protect my son."

"You promised Jayden to Landon's father and that is the reasoning behind all this is your fault, how could you do this."?

"I was unaware that healers even existed when I found out why they wanted him and what they were going to do to him. I tried to get out of it, and that's why we left. But there was no escaping it he was too determined."

"Did you tell Landon what was going on."

"No I didn't, I thought I was protecting him, just like he thinks he is protecting you by not telling you what really happened to your family."

"My family died in a car accident, it was an accident."

"Nothing is accidentally when it comes to healers, there's reasoning behind everything that happens."

"What do mean no it was accident, you don't know anything about my family? Your lying they can't be dead because of me."

"It's not your fault, it's all about power and taking over the werewolves."

"No, you said it's the firstborn child, my brother and I were twins. So, he should have survived too."

"Why do you think you all were together they waited, once they got the opportunity they took it knowing it was easier for them to figure out which one of you was a Healer to try to kill you both at the same time leaving you alone and vulnerable? But you were strong and figured out a way to escape them."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I'm not sure what to think, am I the cause of my parent's death. This ability that is supposed to be a gift is more of a curse. It has taken everything from me. I begin to think what am I suppose to do then it hits me and I know exactly what I need to do protect what's most important to me Jayden. I need to fight for him to have a better life. I will fight and take control of all werewolves. Then they won't dear touch him. And if they try, they will be killed by no one else than me.

"I Will protect Jayden, he is what has kept me going this whole time. I hate that you had involvement in all this. I will not tell Landon or Jayden your involvement, it would hurt them. But don't think it is a favor to you, it's a favor for them."

“Just remember, the power in you is remarkable, and you will find it when you need it the most. But for now, you need to WAKE UP WAKE UP NOWWWW.

As I'm trying to bring myself back. I can hear her yelling at me to wake up. But how, I'm not sure how to do it. I then begin to demand my wolf to wake up, she tries to coward away, but I overpower her and demanding us to wake up then I open eyes.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
