✓ | HER POWER, Carlisle Cullen

Once

Once

Lily's POV

"As you all know, I am hybrid. I am a werewolf and a witch. As a witch, I have an alter ego, my werewolf side also has an alter ego. So basically, Carlisle's alter ego will have two mates, who he will love equally. As a werewolf, I am bound by the moon. That means that I have no control over when I shift, only that I will shift on a full moon. The pain is excruciating, and I don't remember anything from that night. Including all of my victims. In Italy, to make up for the fact that I had killed so many, I decided to help orphans," I spoke. On the part about the orphans, everyone had a look pride on their face as if they were proud of me. That reminded me that I needed to call Emma soon, but I would worry about that later.

"Helping them made me feel like less of a monster. The other way that I felt good about myself was saving people. In Italy, I worked as a nurse for some time. That was where my witch powers came up. I began healing people, I'm a healing witch. I can heal anything, but it comes with consequences. The sheer power that is put into healing someone means that I would be exhausted, but I would also feel their pain as I am healing them," I finished my explanation. Everyone had different reactions to what I said. The kids looked like they were worried about me, and that they had a curiosity with what I could do. Bella already knew, so I didn't bother with her reaction, but the reaction that I cared about was Carlisle.

He looked at me as if I was a goddess, and as if he was in love with me even more. His eyes were still golden, but they were also turning black, meaning that his alter ego was trying to come forward. I put my hand on his cheek, and Carlisle closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were black, and I knew his alter ego was out.

"Who are you?" I asked Carlisle, or whoever he was.

"My name is Lord, nice to meet you Lily, Iris, and Rose," he spoke as he lifted my hand and placed a kiss on it, making me giggle and smile at him.

"It's nice to meet you too Lord, but what are you doing out?" I questioned. The answer made me smile and sent a surge of happiness inside me,

"I wanted to meet you. I love your story and you are so strong, I am so proud of you. Let me know if we need to go back to Italy, I will take you there in a heartbeat. Your happiness is all that matters to me. I love you already," he replied. He put a hand on my cheek and kissed my forehead. Closing his eyes, he was back to being Carlisle.

"Lord was speaking for the both of us," that was all that Carlisle had to say. He took away all of my doubts and my pain.

"Mom, we love you, and we will help you with whatever you need," spoke up Alice. She came and hugged me, and my happiness was through the roof, knowing that my children still loved me.
