Chapter 86: Lilith P.O.V.
He just stood next to the bed while his brows furrowed together. His hands folded together over his lap as he sat hunched forward looking at the floor like it had some miraculous answers. Emily and I waited in silence while he processed everything until he finally looked ta me. 

“I think the best option for you. If you are open to it or would be comfortable with it would be to share the lake house with my sister while you recover from you injuries. I can have someone stop by with anything that you need and there is a therapist you can talk to once a week.” He sighed and looked at the two of us waiting for an answer. 

The plan that he laid out sounded wonderful. I mean I don’t really know what a lake house looks like or how peaceful it must be but it sounds calming but what about Emily? How would she feel about me imposing on her own house? I turned to emily, “Would that be okay for me to stay with you?” I whispered. 

“I would love it. I think we are going to be fast friends and maybe one day we can even take turns annoying the crap out of my brother.” She smiled and with it gave me more hope than I thought possible. 

“Then it sounds great, Carter. Thank you but I would like to discuss something if that is okay?” I asked and looked at him. I think it’s something that I need to discuss, my mating marks being rejected.

“Okay, yeah.” he reassured me and turned his full undivided attention on me. Here goes nothing, right?

“The mate mark was forced and my body is rejecting it I think. The person that helped me get away was giving me something so they couldn’t read my thoughts through the bond but the pain in the marks… it burns and my bones ache.” I whimpered. 

He looked over the places where the marks have been, “Your right, they were a lot more prominent before now. Let me go grab a nurse and I’ll be back.” He ran out of the room as fast as he could. 

I heard him shout for some nurses and then the lot of them came back in the room, “What’s going on, lily?” One of the older nurses asked, waiting by the edge of the bed. 

“Well my wolf is rejecting my mate bond and it hurts.” I said with a sigh of pain and aggravation. What can I say? My wolf rejecting her chosen soul mate happens to hurt a lot. It feels like my entire body is on fire and my bones are being re-broken over and over again under the weight of someone sitting on my chest, suffocating me slowly. 

The woman started whispering things and forming into a huddle. I assume that they are trying to come up with the best course of action when they ask for the older nurse and carter to have a conversation. Carter starts to step away with the nurse, “Excuse me, this has to do with me. So talk to me. I have spent my life with other people making decisions about me or for me. I don’t want that anymore even if its scary.” I stated it boldly and confidently. I almost didn’t recognize the sound of my voice. 

The nurses gasped and he stared at me. Like he was impressed or deeply annoyed with my long list of problems. He stepped forward until he was next to me and I flinched. I expected him to hurt me btu he didn’t, he didn’t even try and touch me. He sat down next to me, “They need to do a spell to break the bond completely so it doesn’t kill you but they know you have been taken advantage of. They are scared that you’ll say no.” he sighed and waited for me to answer him. Part of me wanted to laugh or even smile at the irony of everything that he just said because he was right. 

I want to tell them hell no and that there is no way in hell that I would ever trust someone with my life again but I could feel all of it. Elaine would not have sent me here and risked everything, including her relationship with her son if she thought even for a moment that they ren’t good people. I know I vowed never to trust anyone again, I intend to keep that promise to myself but I’m going to let them do this spell with my own conditions. 

“Okay, I will do this spell if you can meet me in the middle with some conditions.” I smiled, my voice sounded so shaky. 

“What would these conditions be?” he asked, grabbing the screen he had earlier and writing some stuff down. 

“The room will be locked with only females doing the spell and I want Emily to be there for the entire thing.” I looked at Emily and hoped that she wouldn’t be angry with me. Every single time that I have asked her for something though she looks so excited that I would even want some one like her at my side which makes me even more happy to ask. 

“Those are very do-able terms.” he nodded his head and walked out of the room. The nurses started to form a circle around me while they chanted some words that sounded like complete gibberish. The only thing that is bringing me any sort of peace is having Emily still sitting in the chair next to me and she gave me a nodd. 

The pain was like nothing I have every felt before. MY body felt like it was engulfed in flames while I also felt like I was sitting in a tub of ice. Every nerve in my body felt like it was on the edge of being fried while at the same time I felt the buzzing my heart as they chanted louder and louder. 

My nails dug into my leg while the pain became more and more overwhelming, “It’s too much!” I screamed, my insides felt like they were being turned to mush.
