Rejected, Ran, Returned

Chapter 26

Lily's pov

I woke up and it was 6:07 am and I did not feel like sleeping anymore. I head downstairs and I see a figure sitting in the kitchen. Once I got closer I realized that it was Shane. I breathe a breath of relief. I head on in and sit next to him.

"Couldn't sleep that much either." He asked.

"Yeah. Sometimes it harder to sleep then others." He nodded.

"Yeah. So how long have you been in the blood paw pack?" I looked up at him.

"Two years."

"What made you change packs?"

"Rejected by my mate."

"Who was your mate?"

"Damien Evans. He is the third in command son."

"That bastard! Why would he reject you."

"Its in the past. It doesn't matter." He scoffed but left the matter alone. I got up and started getting stuff to make a hash. I washed my hands and then headed to the cutting board. I  started cutting up the vegetables and soon Shane washed his hands and joined me. He then prepared the skillet and the seasonings. We heard footsteps and and saw our family coming down the stairs for breakfast. The only person who didn't come down was Eli and that was because he had to leave early to go back to college. I will miss him but he had to go back. They all took their seats and waited for breakfast. Shane and I shared a chuckle. The hash was soon done and we served everyone up. I knew there wouldn't be enough so I stuck to an Apple and headed out to the front porch of the house. I liked sitting out here in morning because it was peaceful. I heard the birds sing and the sun was just peaking over the trees. I sighed and leaned against the wall of the house and enjoyed the apple.

"Lil, why you standing out here alone?" It was Ravenna. I smile at her.

"Just enjoying the morning and well being alive." I said jokingly. She just glared but with the smile I could tell she didn't mean it.

"So how is everything since you woke up?" She asked timidly.

"Normal I guess. All I have to think that is new is what the moon goddess told me."

"What's that?" So I went into my entire dream and it didn't take that long but hey to me it was something to wonder.

"Wait so you must defeat Oliver alone."

"Yep. I just don't understand why but yes." She looked sad but I put a hand on her shoulder.

"What if you get injured and you may beat him but you end up bleeding out to death." She said rushed. I looked her in the eyes.

"Listen, I'm gonna be fine. I have the moon goddess on my side and plus I have two packs behind me. I will be fine." She nodded. She then put on an evil smirk.

"I guess death taught you how to be stronger." I gaped at her.

"I was strong before death." She smiled.

"Sure whatever makes you sleep at night."

"Oh it's on." I set down my apple and tackle her. We roll on the ground and Ravenna some how ends up on top of me.

"Pinned ya." Quoting the lion king. I pushed her off and she was on the ground and I ended up on top.

"Now who is the one pinned." She knocked me down and pinned me again.

"Still you." She smirked.

"Not for long." I pushed her off and pinned her but this time I made sure her arms were pinned down tightly and she couldn't kick me off. She struggled for awhile but stopped and looked amazed.

"Not bad Lil. You forgot one little thing thou." I was confused.

"What?" She then used her core to buck me off and she pinned me.

"I guess I do need some more training if I am to beat Oliver." She laughed and got off of me. Right as I was sitting up she offered her hand to help me up and I accepted.

"If you want to start training you can start today. It starts at 10:00 so be ready by then." We both turn to see my father standing by the door. I gulped. Oh no. This is going to be a rough day.

"Good luck Lil. Have fun at training." My dad smirked at her.

"Oh it's not just her Ravenna. It's you too. So be ready by the time training rolls around. Both of you." Then he left inside leaving Ravenna staring at the place my dad was standing in shock.

"Good luck Ravenna. Have fun at training." She glared at me and pulled me to the house.

"If I go down during training so do you." I'm so doomed.
