The stable

Lilian's POV

I continued to watch Yuria. She was saying a lot of things.

Things I didn't want to believe but which were actually true.

I didn't like Isabel and hearing her say those things about her made me happy that I wasn't the only one who didn't like her.

Apparently the entire Blue Moon pack disliked her.

"Have you met her yet?" She asked me and I quickly recollected myself.

I didn't want to come off as a snitch to her.

For all I knew she could be a spy or something. I wasn't about to let her get the much needed information she may be seeking after.

"Uhm," I said to her. "Not yet." I lied. I fought the urge to blink the lie out.

She watched me for a while and then she smiled at me.

"Oh you're so not going to like her." She told me and I almost said out loud that I didn't like her already.

I just smiled at her.

"Maybe I should find out about that myself," I told her politely. "Thanks for the heads up though." I said to her.

"That is alright." She smiled at me. "Oh well I guess I should get going." She said and I smiled at her. I watched her leave.

She was nice and all and I honestly hoped to see more of her. I wanted to keep seeing her.

She seemed to be a friendly person and I wanted to have her around me.

As soon as Yuria was gone, I continued on my garden walk. I kept walking until I came face to face with a pathway that led to the pack stables.

It would feel nice to watch the horses neigh in the pack and so I walked down there.

I stopped on my tracks when I saw Kaiden holding a horse that was neighing.

I stood there at a distance, watching him, the way he handled the horse. The way he stroked its mane and the way he kissed the bridge of its nose.

It was a brown horse and it looked well polished and beautiful. Its manes were black and its nose was black as well.

I stood there for another couple of moments without him noticing me until he suddenly turned to look at me shooting me a glare.

I could see that his wolfish instincts had detected my scent to him. I let out a smile as I walked towards where he stood with the horse.

He turned his attention away from me.
I got to where he was and stood there, he still stroked the mane of his horse.

"What is it?" He asked me. I was quiet. I didn't know what to say to him.

"Uhm, well," I said. "I was walking down this path and I saw you." I told him.

"And why did you not walk on?" He asked in a harsh voice. "Why bother me?" He asked me. I blinked my eyes. And then I bent down to pick up the big brush that was on the grass.

I used it to brush the furs on the horse's skin and it neighed so gently at the gentle caress.


"I thought I would be able to talk to you." I told him and he scoffed.

"And why would you do that?" He asked me as he turned to look at me.


"Because," I went on. "You are my mate." I told him.
"Stop telling yourself that." He said to me, "We are not mates. Not yet." He said to me as he turned away from me.

I was silent. I honestly didn't want to have to argue that with him. I didn't want to. I let out a sigh as I dropped the brush and walked away from him.

"If you think," he called out to my retreating figure and I stopped in my tracks. "That you can get involved in the blue moon pack because you believe that you are mated to me, then you have got yourself involved in a long ride." He said to me,
I didn't turn to look at him.


"You are nothing but a weakling and I would not have anything to do with such a she wolf." He said to me, Those words hurt me so damn much but I didn't argue with him.

I didn't turn around either. I didn't want to.

If I did I knew that I was going to cry.

So I walked on and away from him as his words echoed in my head. Behind his words, I could hear the words of Isabel as well.

The way she had said the same rude things to me but in different words. I blinked back the tears as I walked on.

I wasn't going to let them get to me. I wouldn't.

I was going to come out of this in a good way.

They both were meant for each other anyway. They suited themselves. Both in attitude and in character.

And to think that they both liked each other, I felt like an intruder. I was practically interfering in the thing they both had and practically shared amongst themselves.

I let out a sigh as I walked away. I was heading back to the pack and to my pack chambers. That was the only way that I could get rid of these thoughts in my mind.


I wanted to get rid of them, to make them know that I was strong and not a weakling.

I was an omega but I believed that I was stronger than I showed it.

I was a strong, resilient and courageous woman and I wasn't going to let anyone, not Kaiden and certainly not Isabel, take that away from me.


I was hell bent on proving to myself that I could do without them.

And I was not going to act up and cry because I didn't want to go back to the Blood moon pack to go back to suffering. Not anymore.
