Lily pov
As soon as I walked into school, a very muscular arm was placed over my shoulders. I looked up into his deep brown eyes. His hair cut in a very boyish look and styled like he was going to be on the cover of a best seller magazine. "Hey, myles, is Amber here yet?
He shook his head. "No, you know my sister is never on time for anything."
Myles was the future gamma of Ben's, and his sister happened to my best friend. We all grew up together since my mom is always with the luna. I got to hang out with all the kids of the ranked members. Including the future beta Landyn and his sister Brooklynn.
Landyn and Ben were in the same grade, and the rest of us were two years behind them.
I let out a long sigh. "Myles, I heard Ben is coming back. Why didn't you tell me? You had to know. You're going to be the future gamma very soon."
He seemed nervous. "Lil, I honestly didn't know how to tell you.I knew Ben broke your heart badly, and when he stopped talking to you out of nowhere, I just didn't know what to say. I guess I'm still confused by all of this. He always told us how much he loved you."
He took a deep breath. "I thought maybe you already knew just didn't want to talk about it. You know how quiet you can be."
"Myles, you're one of my best friends, and if that was love, he would have least made an effort to tell me why he stopped talking to me so suddenly. "
I walked away staring at my feet.I didn't want to talk about it anymore. Myles and Amber were the only ones who knew the truth.
As far as everyone else knew, we were still together, or at least they thought we were. Im not really one to keep up with the gossip, even if it's about me. Either way, I made a promise to him. Even though deep down we both knew that promise wasn't meant to be kept.
When I looked up, I was shoved to the ground by Brooklynn and her followers. Followers were more appropriate word than friends. She seemed to change friends weekly, never being able to keep the same ones.
I started to gather my stuff when another set of hands helped me grab my books. I look up to see Myles. I gave him a slight smile.
His glare turned cold when he looked in the direction of Brooke. "Brooke why do you always have to be such a b***h to Lily?"
"Myles she needs to learn her place as the omega that she is. When I become Luna she will serve me as her mother serves Luna Meghan. We all know Ben won't take an omega slut as his Luna."
Next thing I know Brooklynn is on the ground holding her bloody nose. I look over and see Amber standing over her."Listen, you fake blonde bimbo. I know you already know that Ben already chose Lily over you once before and I can guarantee he probably still wouldn't chose a fake manipulative b***h like you in this life time."
Brooklynn broke out in three shades of red and stormed off. I still couldn't believe once again Amber and Myles had to save me from her.
Since Ben left, she stopped trying to be nice to me. She clearly was only trying to get on Bens good side.
Amber flipped her red curls to the side and shook her hand out from the pain of the punch she struck on Brooklynns nose.
I thanked Amber and Myles and went to class. I was already so over today, and I have a feeling things weren't going to get any better anytime soon.
Before I got to the door for biology, Myles grabbed my arm and turned me to face him.
"Listen Lily, I know you have a lot going on right now, but tomorrow is Friday. Do you want to come out with Amber and some of the guys we can hit this country club? There is line dancing and music, and after we always do a huge bonfire out in the woods, so what do you say? I know you usually say no when we ask, but with only a few days left of school, I thought you might reconsider and have some fun."
I could tell Myles was nervous his heart rate was increasing. But I couldn't figure out why. We do things together all the time. I think we've hung out nearly every day since my mom and i moved to the black moon pack.
"Honeslty Myles, that sounds great. Pick me up at seven?"
He grinned with the biggest smile I've ever seen on him."I'll be there, Lil"
Myles POV
When Lily walked into school, I could tell she was feeling off.I ran into her mom Raya on my way out of the pack house to head to school. She told me she didn't think Lily knew Ben was coming home in a few months.
I sighed. I really thought she knew. Deep down, she must have. He always told her he was only going to be gone for two years.My guess was she wasn't ready to deal with reality.I was hoping she would be over him by now, and maybe she is.
I still remember when she told me that her and Ben were over and the promise he made her make.Made me sick and then to turn around, and he ignored her like that. It made me think less of him.
**Flashback**
My wolf and I went out for a late run. The weather was changing, and leaves were starting to turn and fall to the ground.
It was my favorite time to run in the mountains. The scenery was breathtaking, with all the different color leaves and the cool crisp air. It was perfect.
My wolf tensed up. We both felt the sense of someone else present.
It was late, and I was out futher in the woods, then I should have been alone.
If my mom found out, she would probably kick my ass.She was always so Fiesty and protective.
When I got a wiff of cinnamon and vanilla, I knew instantly who it was. Worry washed through me. Why would Lily be out this far alone. What was she thinking? As far as I knew, she didn't have a wolf yet.
I shifted quickly. I realized i didn't have any clothes with me, and I was too far out. We always put random clothes by the edge of the woods leading to the packhouse.
I stepped on a twig, and I saw her jump. Her eyes were puffy and red."Lily, it's just me, Myles. Don't be freaked out, but I dont have any clothes.I wasn't expecting anyone to be out here, at least in human form."
"It's fine Myles, your not the first person I've seen naked."
My heart sunk.
She sighed. "We are wolves, after all. I've seen people naked that I wish I could unsee."
I snorted. I realized what she had met now.
"So, are you going to tell me what you're doing out in the middle of the woods all alone?"
She grumbled. "Ugh, do I have to?"
"No, but I'm sure your mom is probably worried about you."
"I just needed some fresh air and started to walk. Before I knew it, I was out here. I realized I went too far, and I didn't know where I was, so I just sat down to breathe and collect my thoughts. Then, a few minutes later, you found me."
I gave her a disapproving glare. "Lily, do you have any idea how dangerous that is?"
Before I could finish my lecture about her coming out to the woods by herself, I smelled the most rotten smell. Lily must have smelt it. Her body tensed up, and she shot up from the ground.
Three rogue wolves with strange eyes came out of trees. How did I not smell them before they got this close?
"Well, isn't this our lucky day?" The bigger one of the three wolves said. His wolf was light gray, but but almost looked brown from all the dirt he was covered in."Unlucky for you two, love birds."
My wolf growled. Ready to shift and rip the filthy rogues heads off.Lily pulled me close and grabbed my arm. It felt nice, forgetting I was completely naked.
She whispered in my ear. "I have a wolf. But if i shift, it has to stay between us. None of these rogues can't leave here alive if they see me."
I looked at her confused but understood. I wanted her to trust me.
The bigger wolf stepped closer and looked at Lily. "Have we met before? Those eyes, I've seen those eyes."
Lily froze for a second but spoke confidently. "No, I've never met a filthy mut before."
The rogue growled.
She just had to unintentionally insult a rogue.
He spoke again. "Wait, I know where I've seen those eyes."
He chuckled loudly in amusement."Your dad would roll over in his grave if he found out that I found you after all this time."
Lily tensed up, but then got really pissed.
She started to shift. I was startled for what I saw in front of me, a pure white wolf , with a purple star on her forehead.
Before I could even shift, she had one of the smaller rogues heads ripped off and was headed to the bigger grey rogue.
I shifted quickly when I saw the little brown rogue head for her back, and i ripped him off. Killing him with one bite.
The rogue had Lily pinned down, and I tore the rogue off her. He hit a large tree, killing him instantly.
She shifted back behind a tree. I took a flannel off a rogue and handed it to her. It was practically in shreds. "I know it's gross, but it's better than nothing."
She slipped it on.
"Lily, I have to mindlink the alpha and have him expose of the bodies."
She started to panic. Her hands were trumbling in fear. "Myles, we can't do that.They can't know about me."
I nodded, understanding what she had met now. I shifted back in my wolf and started digging a huge hole. I felt her shift too, and we dug until the whole was big enough for three rogues.
Once we got the hole covered up, we cleaned up in the river. I tried to give her privacy, but my wolf was nagging at me to take a peak.
I kept it together. Respecting her anyway I could. She always kept herself covered in loose clothing. So you can imagine why I'm so curious.
We walked back together, not saying a word until we got to her house.
I watched her bit her lower lip."Myles, promise me you won't tell anyone about this, not even my mom?"
I looked deep in her lavender eyes."I promise Lily, but do you have any idea what you are?"
She shook her head. "No, my mom won't tell me yet."
I nodded my head again, acknowledging her.
"Myles, the reason I was out there was to think. Ben won't talk to me. He's been ignoring all my calls and texts for well over a month. I'm guessing we're over. He just didn't bother to tell me.... I've been just really confused why he would ask me to wait for him if he was just going to drop me after he had already been gone for two months."
She sighed. "We went to talking every day to nothing. Not even an explanation as to why."
I pulled her into my arms, giving her a tight hug, not caring that I was still naked. She teared up. I held her until she got it together.
My wolf was angry. At this rate, i would have to go on another run.
It was nearly morning, but we said goodnight to each other anyway.
End of flashback
It still bugs me, not knowing what she is or where she came from. But I've had a feeling since then it won't be the last time we run into rogues.
As for Ben, I never felt the same about our friendship again. He owed Lily so much more than that.
I headed to class, trying to push all these thoughts aside. I really needed to focus. We had exams next week. But I couldn't help myself thinking of Lily again.
