Lilith.

Chapter 28 - Wild Thoughts

Lilith's POV

The pack was silent. 

If anyone dropped a pin, you could probably hear it throughout the whole house not just in this room. 

The pack remained like that for a solid thirty seconds before the small crowd erupted into questions, people had a right to be angry. "The cat is beginning to get out of the bag" Caspian whispered in my ear, I nodded my head slowly beginning to get back onto track onto what just happened. Until he knows he can be a good mate for me? Is the guy for real ? Shock was slowly turning to anger and I needed to get out of this room. I am not as well composed as my brother is. 

" Let's go" I announced to my family and began to make my way out, this wasn't anything we needed to be here for. This isn't a mess that we need to help with. "Lilith" I turned around to my mate's father's voice, I knew it was time to plaster a fake smile. "Alpha" I nodded my head in acknowledgment. 

" I am really sorry for this, if I could have my way this would not had happened I---" I lifted my hand to stop him from speaking. " Please, the palace won't judge you on your son's actions" the hidden message was there, Alexander's father is a nice man contrary to his son. " However, this isn't something we need to be here for. I wish you the best with sorting this out" I smiled and turned around without giving the Alpha a chance to mutter any further words. 

Once outside we all gave out a shaky breath, stopping out our cars. 

"What the fuck?" Caius was the first to break the silence, none of us knew what to say. What can you even say in a situation like this? " Well Demitrius and Arria are missing a bit" We all gave Maximus a look which resulted in him throwing his hands up in surrender.  " What is the guy aiming for?" I shrugged my shoulders, I was beginning to slowly calm down and that was good for me. I didn't want to erupt into full rage wolf Lilith, again I am not as well composed as my brother is. 

"Whatever it is that he is planning, we need to be careful" I repied, I do not believe for a second that people can change like that. People very rarely change, unless it is for the right people or for the right reasons. I would like to think that me being his mate was enough, that seeing me for the first time would be enough. 

We all got into the cars that we came here with, not a single word was spoken between us as we were all so deep in thought. What were his intentions behind all of this?

I sat up in my bed, I turned my head and read the time on the digital clock on my bedside table. 

23:20

I threw myself back onto my pillows, we got home early and decided to get an early night considering Dem and Arria will be home soon. Only, unlike the rest of my family, I was tossing and turning without a single chance of closing my eyes. I decided I wasn't going to sit and watch an empty ceiling, I needed to do something to get my mind off things that have clearly been brought upon me without my say. 

Why did he do that? 

He could of carried a life on with Emma, albeit not the best choice to run one of the strongest and biggest packs in the US but still. He could have carried on this lie of a life, I would have left as soon as I finished my studies here and joined my parents back in Russia. 

I stood up and got dressed in warm gym like clothes, I think the run will be the best for me. It will tire me out and hopefully give me a chance at some form of rest. 

Be a good mate for me? What makes him think that he isn't a good mate for me now? Why does he make that decision for me? 

I was now outside, I left a note on the table incase anyone woke up and noticed that I was gone. I shifted into my wolf and ran far into the woods, letting my thoughts run wild without any form of a fence to stop them. 

Why am I even thinking of him being my mate? He hurt me, why should I let him even cloud my mind? He made his choice, he didn't even think about me or my feelings when he rejected me so coldly infront of a whole cafeteria. If I was just a normal girl, if I was just a feeble human being like he claimed I was, I would have been distraught with the humiliation. 

With all this in mind, why does a part of me still feel some form of excitement in my body at what had happened today? 

I came to a halt, slowly panting from my run and not moving an inch. 

As in front of me was a pair of eyes, eyes matching my mate.
