Chapter 121 Lilah

• I sit surrounded by our friends, Knox by my side, where he has been since we became mates, well probably before that really. He was just more discreet in it. Now he is openly there, affectionate and sweet as ever, the big bad Alpha he likes to call himself, though that may have initially been my wording he now chooses to use as joke, yet to me he is the sweetest and kindest guy. And the best Daddy to our little guy.
• Kai had been an unexpected surprise, but one now I cannot imagine life without. We had not planned a baby, not even spoken about one, but when we found out we were pregnant we both got swept away in the excitement of it all. It distracted me from the other stuff going on too, all the difficult stuff we had to face. It gave me a positive to focus on.
• Anya, had been trialled at my former pack, River Ash Pack, for the torture, bullying and abuse she had put me through for the year or so after she found she was mates with our then up and coming Alpha, my then boyfriend Logan, who at the time myself, and then entire pack had predicted would be my fated mate. Tales of childhood sweethearts, close friends becoming a couple and being fated mates had always surrounded us, and even the pack elders has predicted we would be fated mates, him as the next Alpha, me as the Beta’s daughter. Though on the day of his first shift he found his fated mate, and that was the day my life changed, at the time it was into a living hell, but looking back now, I can see it was all part of a path to bring me to where I needed to be to become happy. Albeit a very twisted path that fate took to get me to my happiness, to where I belong, and a painful path too, but I can look back now and say I got through it, and I survived.
