Life After the Storm

LILLY'S POV

I can't believe what Ivan has just told me about Jenny. How could she be capable of something so evil? I know that Ivan hurt me, but I couldn't have done that to him, maybe it's just because he is my mate. I know that she didn't want to marry him, but to kill him. Knowing the repercussions for this are going to be so bad. How do I even begin to even tell Landon?

He's going to get so angry as soon as the words escape my lips. I want to avoid lying to him. I want to tell him the truth of what I just heard. I then think maybe it is better if I just keep it to myself for now. I need to find Sam, so I can figure all this out. I don't want Ivan to leave I don't know if he is safe, I know that I shouldn't care, but I do.

As Ivan is sitting on my bed, I see the pain in his eyes, I can tell he is terrified. I want to comfort him,, but I don't know how. The feelings I have for him are only because of the mate bond. I walk over to him and sit beside him on the bed. "Give me Sam's number, I will call him and tell him to come right away. But you need to promise me that you will stay right here and not try to escape, I need to know you're safe."

As he looks at me, his eyebrows raised like he surprised that I am concerned about him at all. "I will stay put Lilly, just please get me Sam."

And look back at him before I exit the bedroom, "please Ivan, just listen to me, I will get Sam just stay here."

I don't know why I'm so worried about him leaving. It's not like it would make any kind of a difference. I just want him to be safe and out of harm's way. I don't want him to think that I care, but I can't help but to show it. The baby has been kicking like crazy, hearing his voice. It makes me wonder if the baby knows that he is her father. As I rub my belly, I head for the door.

All of a sudden, I hear a knock at the door I am nervous to answer it I automatically go into defense mode, which is odd. I go to look to see who it is, and I see it's Landon.

"Landon, I need to get a hold of Sam his brother do you have a phone."

'Yes, at my house how is he holding up."

"He's still weak but he's recovering I need to talk to you about something But you can't get angry at me."
