SWNOVELS Chapter 50
Lucy's POV
I was just lounging around outside in the nice warm sunlight as I watched Lilith run around the yard. It was peaceful and nice knowing that I will be doing this with my own pups one day now that I have finally met my mate and who knew that he was only a 2 days run form my own pack who would've known if only I had gone on an adventure for a few days before maybe I would have found him sooner. Tate has been nothing but helpful with Lily and just watching him with her shows me just ow much of a great father he is going to be one day.
As I was watching Lilith try to catch butterflies I felt a hand touch my shoulder as the tingles started to radiate from the spot I knew exactly who it was. I looked up at my mate who was squatting behind my shoulder while he looked down to admire me.
"Hello there gorgeous having fun in the sun I see” Tate smiles at me before he sits and brings me close to his chest before he tilts my chin up to kiss me.
"Hi handsome how was your meeting with Derek about me joining your pack?" I ask curiously
"It went well baby, Derek will be drawing up all the paper work for you to fill out and have your former Alpha sign off on it when they are back from their mission. The paper work should be done in about an hour and then we can start filling it out and then when you find out your Alpha's back we will go and see him to bring him his precious little girl back and to talk to him about your transfer.” Tate says to me while he's watching Lily looking up at the birds flying around through the trees. As we were sitting there watching Lilith running around laughing playing and just having fun I get a sudden mind link from Jasper and my heart stops thinking it's something bad. I was not prepared at all for what he was about to tell me in that moment.
“Lucy? Lucy it's Jasper can you hear me?’ I hear him ask hesitantly Jasper I hear you loud and clear what's up any news about our Alpha and Luna?" I ask him curiously as I prepare myself for the worst.
"Yeah I have and they are back home together. Skylar seems a little rough but that's to be expected given what she had went through. They asked about where Lilith was and I told them you had her over at the Mystic Pack and that I would link you to tell you it's finally safe to bring her home." Jasper said
“Alright I'm going to let my mate know and we will be on the road as soon as possible and I will link you when we are close to the pack house.’ I tell him
“Alright I'll see you in about a day or so and I will let them know you both are on your way as well." He responds
I turn to Tate who was intently staring at me the entire time I was talking with Jasper. I smile at him before I call Lilith over to us so I can tell them both at the same time knowing Lilith was going to be very excited to be going home to see her parents again. Once she was settled on my lap I just sat there hugging and staring at her while her and Tate stared intently at me before I told them what was going on. "Well I finally heard from Jasper and he had some news and in fact it's good news" I smile at them
"Lilith hunny your mommy and daddy are finally home and they want to see you so we are going to be going to pack up and go back home to them how do you feel about that?" I ask her
"YAYY MOMMY AND DADDY ARE BACK!!! I can't wait to see dem finawy" she squeals as she gets up and jumps around making me smile and laugh at how happy she is.
"So Tate baby how do you feel about a little road trip to my soon-to-be former pack?" I ask cautiously not knowing how he's going to feel about doing this so soon.
"I can't wait in fact Alpha Derek just linked me telling me that the paper work is drawn up and printed out and waiting for us to go and pick it up. I also just linked him telling him that I am going with you to bring Lilith home to her parents and that we are going to be there for a few days to pack up your things and talk to your Alpha about your transfer and get the paperwork done and he said for us to take as much time as we need." He tells me before we stand as he places a kiss on my lips before we grab Lily and bring her inside to get us all packed up and grab the paperwork we need for me to be transferred from the Night Shade Pack to the Mystic Pack. Once we have everything we head to the garage and set out to my pack.
Jace's POV
Once I knew that my beta had something to do with the attack on my pack to get to my daughter I was enraged so I took off and went for a run. I was running around the pack to just blow off steam and after running for a couple hours I decided to head back to the house and to my mate. When I shifted back and got dressed I walked into the house and found my mate and Jasper standing in the kitchen staring out the window looking at Amber and Alex's graves. I decided to head over to them and hug them both showing my support during these hard times even though I felt awful that I wasn't here to help when the attack took place.
We ordered in for dinner and then we all went our separate ways, Jasper went and ran patrol around the borders looking for any signs to see if Lucas has been around. I don't blame him I know he's going to kill him if he ever see's him again and I will not stop him not caring for the life of my ex-beta, since he is a traitor to the pack and deserves everything Jasper will do to him if he ever catches him. Skylar and I decided to go to bed together and try to sleep but neither of us could settle down thinking about how tomorrow we might have our baby girl in our arms once again.
We spent the day in the training grounds as I sparred with Skylar trying to help her regain her strength. It had been hours since we started and I could see the exhaustion in Skylar's movements knowing very well she was pushing herself too far and was going to collapse if she kept going. "Baby it's time to stop before you collapse on the floor and I have to bring you to the pack hospital” I tell her expecting her to resist knowing just how stubborn she could be
"Your right I am pushing myself too much but I don't know what else to do. I feel useless and weak and powerless and I just need to get myself feeling my old self, the strong Luna I was all those months ago and not this useless weak pathetic Luna I am now." She said as she fell to her hands and knees crying.
I rush to her and pull her into my arms and just rub her back as she cried on my shoulder. I knew she needed this and just needed to let everything out and not keep it all bottled up inside. We stayed like this for 2 hours before Jasper came in to let us know that Lucy and Lilith were only an hour and a half away. As soon as Skylar heard that her crying slowed and we got up and headed back to the house to shower and get ready to meet Lucy and to finally have our baby girl back. I know that the fact that Lilith was now cursed to have a much shorter life span then she should because of who her mother is is haunting Skylar even though she would never admit it I can feel her guilt and pain through our mate bond.
I watched as Skylar paced in the living room for the next hour and a half waiting for Lucy to show up with our little girl. I was also starting to get impatient seeing that they still haven't arrived yet and then next thing I know I heard a vehicle pull up outside. I knew Skylar heard it to as I watched as she stopped pacing and stood stock still waiting for them to come into the house. I went over to Skylar and wrapped my arm around her shoulders and held her to me as we listened to 3 pairs of footsteps getting closer and closer until they stopped outside the door. They knocked and Jasper answered the door seeing as me and Sky couldn't move we were frozen to the spot as we heard Lucy's voice and the giggles of a little girl. They walked into the living room and we say Lucy first as she ran to us and hugged us both as she started crying and then she moved and we seen our little girl Lilith except she wasn't so little anymore she was so big now and doing so much I couldn't believe that this was my little girl.
Skylar and I sunk to our knees as tears ran down our faces as we stared at our little girl in shock. I also noticed that there was some man in my house but I didn't care at that moment, all I cared about was my daughter.
"Lilith hunny I am so glad to see you baby girl, you have gotten so big since the last time I saw you" I said to her making her blush
"Lilith it's mommy, oh how I have missed you. You have grown so big over these past few months, I remember when you were just born which was the last time I saw you. You baby girl was what kept mommy going when she was away but I'm back for good and I promise I will never ever leave you again” Skylar said through her sobs as Lilith started crying and ran to us and threw herself into our open arms. We sat there hugging our little girl and crying for what seemed like forever before Lilith pulled away from us and said she was hungry. We nodded our heads and asked Jasper to bring her into the kitchen to get something to eat wince I wanted to ask Lucy something.
"Lucy I am so glad you are safe, I also wanted to thank you for helping to protect Lilith for us. I would also like to know who this gentleman is standing behind you." I asked her making her blush profusely.
"Oh umm...this is Tate he's the Mystic Pack’s Beta and he also happens to be my mate. I am glad to be safe as well and I would do anything for Lilith she is such a sweet heart and I loved being around her all the time. I'm going to miss seeing her all the time and seeing you guys as well since I'm going to be moving to the Mystic Pack to be with my mate which is one of the reasons he's here with me so we could talk to you about my transfer and have you help fill out the paperwork for it that we have with us." Lucy told us shyly.
