Lilith's POV -

"You don't look great Lil, is everything okay?" I sat down at the table and rubbed my hands. 

"I'm just a little run down" I sniffled, I feel like a train wreck. I thought I was just tired this morning from the attack earlier on in the night, but now I feel like I may actually be sick. "You seem more than run down, you're really pale" Arria stood up and walked over to me, she placed the back of her hand on my forehead and scrunched her face up. "Seems like you have a fever too" I sighed and leaned forward, I could do with my bed and a nice cup of tea. 

"Maybe you should go home then, we need you on your best form at all times" I shot Dem a look as I knew what he was implying about, if there was another rogue attack I needed to be able bodied considering how undertrained this pack is. I stared at my hands for a few seconds before giving out another defeated sigh. "I guess you're right" I yawned and shivered due to coldness, everyone else was wearing tops and I was wearing a woollen jumper. I think this is a sign. 

"We'll come with you" The twins jumped up from their sat position and started packing their stuff. "Lilith?" Dem looked at me to ask if I needed babysitters, even if I did, I don't think the twins would have been my first choice. "I love you guys but, you can't look after people for shit" I pointed at them and stood up. "What?" They gasped in hurt. "We're amazing at looking after people" I laughed. 

"You can't look after yourselves, what makes you think you'll be able to look after Lil" Maximus joined in to my laughter and I smiled. "I'll be fine" I said picking my bag up. 

"I will see you all at home, after training" I walked out of the cafeteria and made my way to my locker to take my books that I'll need for the lessons that I had missed. No way was Demitrius going to excuse me from my homework too. 

The perks of having a hundred plus year old brother.

Ding.Ding.Ding.

I groaned as the doorbell woke me up from my beloved nap on the sofa. As soon as I got home I changed into my comfies, took the biggest and fluffiest blanket I could find in the house and snuggled up on the sofa. Pretty Little Liars on as I fell asleep, but now that sleep was being interrupted by someone at the door. 

I groaned and got up from my very comfortable position, the blanket half dropped to the floor as I walked to the hall. I opened the door ready to be met by Noah or someone who forgot their keys, boy was I surprised.

At my door stood Alexander. 

I stared at him for a few seconds, he stared right back at me, none of us were prepared for this moment. 

"Can I help you?" I asked slowly as I watched his face for any clue as to why he would come to our house when he quite clearly doesn't like our presence. He opened his mouth but no words came out, I raised my eyebrow. "Erm yeah, my dad said that Demitrius had some papers for him?" that came out more like a question and that made me question him. Dem would have most likely delivered those papers himself, or asked the Alpha to come at a time that he was at home to personally give the papers to him. 

I glanced to the side and my bag was lay at the side from when I came home and threw it, good job that Demitrius didn't see that. 

"Hold on, let me call him as I wasn't made aware of that" I bent down and picked my phone out of my  bag. "I'll just call him" Alexander nodded as I dialled Demitrius' phone, after a few ring tones he finally picked up. 

"Hey Lil is everything okay? Need me to come home?"  I smiled at how caring Dem was when it came to me or the rest of the family. "I don't think so, Alexander is here saying that you had some papers for the Alpha?" I heard a sigh. 

"Yes, I told the Alpha to come pick them up after school when we were at home, I'll excuse myself and---" I stopped Demitrius, I understood that he was worried about me being in Alexander's presence alone but really, they were just papers. "No you don't have to, just tell me where they are and I'll pass them on" 

"Are you sure Lilith? I can come home I don't mind, I don't want you to be alone with that prick"  I heard a sharp intake of breath and I glanced at Alexander, his facial expression was a mixture that I didn't expect. Anger, sadness, regret, not the typical emotions that I was used to seeing him with. "Dem, I'm fine" I heard another sigh. 

"Fine, the papers are in the second draw in the cabinet that's next to the small bookcase. It's a red folder, everything that the Alpha needs is in there" I nodded my head but then realised that he can't see me. "Okay, see you soon" I replied and ended the call, I looked at Alexander as he was eagerly waiting for me to say something. 

"Come in I guess" I said stepping to the side to let him come inside, he walked in whilst looking at me intensely. " Thanks" He said as I closed the door. 

"Coffee?" I asked, one thing I took as an Ivanov is always to offer some form of drink, even if it's someone that you don't particularly like.  "Sure" Alexander gave me a small smile and I wanted to groan, a part of me hoped that he would have said yes but another part hoped that he would say no. "Just in here" I said as I walked into the kitchen to make us coffees, if I have to endure him being here for so long then  I need a caffeine shot. 

"Nice kitchen" He said admiring Vivian's designing work. 

"Thanks" I replied turning the coffee machine on, coffee machines are literal life. An awkward silence followed as I made our coffees, I hope he is a fast drinker because I can't endure this for much longer. 

"Where was this taken?" I looked over to where he was looking at, a picture of me, Caius and Caspian in Russia a few wees ago. "On vacation" I replied, I wasn't exactly lying as my time in Russia was technically a vacation, just a werewolf busy one. "Was this when you was gone?" his words made me halt on adding sugar, why was he so observant as to when I was and wasn't here? 

"Er, yeah" I replied resuming my actions. 

"Where did you go?" He asked still scrutinising the hanged up picture that was an idea of Arria's. I will have to remind her to stop making this place a gallery. "Away" I replied walking over and passing him his drink. 

"I guess I won't get a proper reply" He took the coffee from my hands and took a sip. 

"You guessed right"
