"So Alpha Damien, do you have a problem with me taking over Lily's Pack?"
"If that's what Lily wants, I support that" I said staring at Lily, she was perfect and she was going to be mine.
"You don't have an issue with this at all," Reid asked, looking utterly confused.
"Like I said if she wants to step down from her Pack, I will support it"
I watched Lily let out a breath, like the weight of the world was currently being carried on her shoulders and the weight was too much to bear.
Lily's phone binged and I watched her face light up with a mischievous grin, Aria jumping to her feet and trying to glance at her phone screen before turning on her sister. Concern etched on her face.
"You better not be sneaking out with Amber tonight Lily; you know she is grounded after the last time" I see Lily sigh before she unleashed on her sister.
"What I do with my life and body is my business not yours, same goes for Amber" I found her attitude amusing; she was a little firecracker, and I was going to have fun breaking her.
As she turned for the door I spoke up, I needed to make a move and that time was now, with her out of the room I could finally take control of the situation. I turned to her father Reid and Aria. I knew Aria and Reid were like parents to her, more so than Alpha David, yet It wouldn't do any good pissing off the Alpha, he was her father and if I could at least get him to agree, I knew I could work around Aria.
"If I may can, I speak to the three of you, I have a favour to ask" Lily quickly walked out the door not even glancing back. It took all my strength to stop my wolf from taking over and claiming her. When I finally reigned in control, I looked around the room and everyone's eyes were on me, watching, waiting for the explosion I knew they thought was coming.
I waited for them to take their seats again, it would be best if they took this information sitting down. I knew they would be shocked by my sudden request.
"If this is about Lily standing down, I can assure you we are no threat to your Pack" Said Reid before I waved my hand cutting him off.
"It isn't about that, how old is Lily?" I asked her father. He didn't hide his surprise at my question. His eyes brows lifting before folding his arms across his chest and leaning back in his seat and eyeing me suspiciously.
"She is seventeen, why?"
"Lily is my mate, yet she didn't recognise me as hers" I answered. My voice steady as I gauged their responses. Aria ran a hand through her hair, eyebrows furrowing, Alpha David just glared. I could tell he was going to be the hardest to crack.
"Are you sure?" Asked Reid leaning forward and joining his hands in front of him on the table. I leant back relaxing at finally saying what I had been dying to say since I laid eyes on her.
"Positive, she is mine and I want her, I don't care about her broken wolf, she is mine and if I don't get her, I will declare war for her" I said my voice ice cold yet steady. I had no doubt I would kill for her.
"There is no need for that, this doesn't need to become an argument just remember who's territory you are on Alpha. That's my sister you're talking about, I would watch your tone around me" Aria said completely unafraid, I didn't expect her to be, she was above all of us, but my threat still stands.
Alpha David hadn't spoken. I could tell he was struggling with what to say or do. When he did speak, I felt my heart drop somewhere cold, my veins turning to ice.
"Lily will reject you, she doesn't want a mate" He said. He almost seemed sad for her. Was she really that broken that she didn't feel worthy of a mate or was there some other reason?
"Why?"
"Don't play dumb boy I know you have heard the rumours about my daughter, who hasn't she can't be tamed, believe me we have tried"
Aria looked between us and Reid sat back placing his hand on her shoulder, she relaxed under his touch before smiling sadly.
"Maybe this is what her wolf needs," She whispered. Alpha David looked at her before nodding.
"So, what do you want to do?" He asked, looking back at me.
"I want to take her home with me."
"No, she doesn't even know you're her mate she won't go with you willingly"
"Well, what do you suppose then?" I asked.
"Lily turns eighteen next week, Lily told me her wolf keeps telling her eighteen everything will make sense, she has been repeating it for weeks. What you need to understand Alpha, my daughter isn't like any wolf you have ever met, her wolf holds no bond to my daughter, our wolves are a part of us, linked through our memories becoming a piece of us, Lily's wolf isn't. She is cunning, ruthless and uncontrollable, they are two entities sharing one body. They call my daughter the unhinged for a reason, her wolf is dangerous and so is she. Lily has given up trying to tame her, given up on herself. You walking into her life won't change that"
"Why didn't you tell me this David, I have a right to know. If Lily's wolf has started talking to her why didn't you tell me" Aria bellowed standing up, her seat falling to the ground. She was livid.
"Lily didn't want you to know Aria, I won't go against my daughter. I know you raised her. I get that but she isn't a little girl anymore she can make her own decisions and that was one of them. She didn't want you to know because she didn't want you to worry" Aria seemed to calm down but still looked pissed.
Alpha David turned to me again. "Stay till her eighteenth birthday, maybe her wolf will recognise yours if she does all good, but if she doesn't you need to prepare yourself"
"If she does, I want to take her home with me back to my Pack"
"Let's see how you survive being around her for the next week before we go making decisions for Lily, I think you will find, you might get more than you bargained for. Lily is strong willed and won't go easily" Reid spoke up. I could tell he cared deeply for Lily; I would even say as much as her father.
"Stay with us for the next week then we will decide what happens next" I nodded. I could live with this decision, if it meant I could remain close to Lily. I never needed anyone but finding her, my other half I knew, I would never feel complete without her. I would make sure she becomes mine, even if it means taking her by force. But for now, I will let her decide if not I would decide for her.
"You agree, Alpha David? I know you don't like me for my father's doings, but I would never hurt your daughter. I just want what's mine and Lily is mine" Alpha David uncrossed his arms a look of defeat on his face. I knew he was tired of his daughter's wild ways, maybe I was the answer he had been looking for. I just hoped Lily would see that too.
