25 Chapter 25 He looked directly at me " Your My L - little sister and I - I love you Lily . Don't ever forget that I - love you sis " he said and pulled me in a hug . My head was pressed against his chest as he cried and I felt his tears in my hair . I couldn't belive it as I just sat there while my brother was having a break - down . I was speechless 1 I was shocked , my brother had never been so torn apart . Never . Did I really affect him so bad by leaving ? I didn't doubt what he said , it was obvious he was torn up . " I could never hate you " I said against his chest and it was true . No matter what I could never hate Keith he was my brother , my own flesh and blood and I would always love him . " but you can't forgive me either " Keith said " Can you ? " I thought about it . Could I forgive him ? " Keith I …. " Lily's P.O.V. 20:34 1/6 25 Chapter 25 " But you can't forgive me either " Keith said " can you ? " I thought about it . Could I forgive him ? " Keith I … I don't know " I said pulling away from him . " A part of me has already forgiven you I mean you'll always be my brother . But frankly " I looked down at my hands in my lap " I'm scared " Keith lifted my face so I'd look at him " you really don't know how sorry I am " he whispered " I really am … for everything . Lily , just give me a chance to prove to you I won't treat you like before . I'll make it up for you I swear . Just let me " I bit my lip nervously as I stared at him . A second chance , it was a simple request . I thought back to my mom and how happy she was that we would have dinner as a family again ' like we used to ' her words rung clearly in my head . So many things happened and along the way we stopped being a family . That just wasn't right . " Okay " I whispered . He beamed and hugged me tightly " You won't regret it Lily I swear I'm going to make it up to you . I swear it " he said while practically 20.34 2/6 25 Chapter 25 squishing me " um Keith … can't … breathe " I said and he pulled back and I smiled at him drying his wet cheeks . " Now go wash your face so we can go to dinner " He hugged me once more and kissed the top of my head " I missed you " he said I smiled weakly " I missed you too " After Keith and I went downstairs I could tell my parents were a lot happier , they must have heard . Damned wolf senses . Keith and I headed to the pack house after dinner and we walked inside together . I immediately saw Xavier who shot me a questioning look . I'll explain later I told him and he nodded. I made my way to up the stairs thinking of how eventful my day had been , first meeting Melissa and then Keith . I thanked god I was heading to my room to sleep and nothing more would happen …. but I spoke too soon Just then I saw Whitney come out of Ethan's room in nothing but one of his shirts . She saw me and smirked , 20:34 3/6 25 Chapter 25 winking at me before turning and heading to her room . I just stood there , frozen . Whitney's words clear in my head They've always been mine . Had Ethan always been hers ? What was I thinking of course he was . That's why he didn't search for me when I left . That's why he still doesn't tell people I'm his mate . Because all this time he's had Whitney , all this time he'd never cared for me , not in the slightest . My wolf was screaming at me to go and kill Whitney but I stopped her , I wouldn't give Ethan the satisfaction of knowing how his betrayal affected me . But for some reason I still couldn't move as an all too familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach kept me in place . A feeling I swore not to let overwhelm me ever again , hurt . I shook my head and forced myself to walk to my room . As soon as the door closed I jumped face - first on the bed . Yelling profanities in my pillow . I heard a knock on the door and lifted my head slightly to tell the person to come in , thinking it was one of the boys . But from the scent that hit me as soon as the door opened I just froze , it was Ethan . 20:34 416 25 Chapter 25 " Lily ? " Ethan asked and I told myself to calm down as I sat up and looked at him . " What do you want ? " I asked rudely , I made a mistake a while ago and showed weakness and I was paying for it now . " I heard about you gave Keith a second chance " he said and I furrowed my brow , did Keith really tell him . " Mind link remember ? He couldn't hide it from his happiness he was practically shouting how he was going to be the perfect brother , he didn't know I was tuning in " he admitted guiltily " Good for you " I said rolling my eyes . " Tell me something " he looked slightly annoyed " Why can you give him another chance so easily but don't even spare me a glance ? Really Lily , I'm your mate " I looked at him angrily as I felt my eyes darken , he had the nerve to call me his mate now after he just finished banging that bimbo " Ethan , go out before I do something that would involve a great deal of pain to you " I told him 20.34 5/6 < 25 Chapter 25 Now anger crossed Ethan's features , I knew why . He was an Alpha , and the way I was talking to him was not acceptable , but I couldn't care less " No I want to know why you found it so easy to give him another chance . Why your so adamant on staying like this with me . " he said angrily Comment 0 L Leave the first comment for this chapter . 20 34
