"Lily! Lily!" Greg and Liam had been searching for Lily for hours, and Zoe had told him that Lily had run away. She was going to run away from the pack and become a rogue, she couldn't face the rejection and embarrassment Greg had put her through.
Greg truly desired Lily but he was in a tight corner, he couldn't forfeit his position and face his father's wrath.
Greg caught her scent, his nostrils were filled with chocolate and vanilla mixed together. His wolf was no longer on alert because he had rejected her but Greg still knew how she smelt.
"Lily, I know you are there. Please come out already, I'm sorry." Greg begged as he walked in the direction where the scent came from.
"Just leave me alone, go and be with your Luna, you both deserve each other." Lily sobbed.
Greg finally saw where she had laid on the floor, looking so helpless and heartbroken. Greg felt his heart break a million times.
"Liam, you can go. It's all good now," Liam nodded his head and left the both of them.
"I'm sorry for the pain I put you through, please just understand me. I don't love Victoria, you are the one I love."
"Then why did you never show me how you truly feel?"
"It's hard for me too, Lily. My whole family is depending on me, I can't fail them."
Lily just shook her head, she didn't understand anything he was saying.
"Let's go back to the pack, I promise to protect you as long as I live." Greg pulled her to her feet, he loved Lily so much that the rejection couldn't even make them go apart. They still felt connected.
"What about Victoria? She'll kill me." Lily asked as she looked into his eyes.
"Leave me to worry about her,"
They walked back to the pack and Greg took her to his room.
"Stay with me for the night, Lily." Greg pulled her to sit on his lap.
Lily's eyes widened at his request, " what? You know I can't do that, it's wrong Alpha."
"I make the rules here so don't worry…and call me Greg."
"Okay, Greg."
Greg reached out for her lips, he loved how succulent and full they were. Lily felt her whole body vibrate at his touch, he pulled down the dress she was wearing and placed his lips on her n*****s.
"Oh, Alpha." Lily moaned.
"Greg," he corrected her.
Lily kissed him passionately, her c**t was so wet and she didn't want this to end.
Greg pulled her panties and dipped his middle finger into her wet v****a, it felt so tight and Greg realized she was a virgin.
A soft moan escaped her lips as he inserted his cork into her right c**t.
He started pounding on her furiously, Greg had never felt so good when having s*x and he wished he didn't reject her.
"Yes Greg, faster." She called out as he thrust faster.
"Ahh, Lily you are so sweet" Greg moaned.
His rhythm increased, he pulled her and thrusted faster then he finally released inside her.

"I heard the date has been fixed for Greg and Victoria's wedding," Zoe asked Lily as they washed the heap of clothes Jane dumped for them.
"Yeah," Lily replied, ignoring the thoughts that filled her head.
After that night with Greg, she wanted more of him but she had to face reality, she felt used and dumped.
"The wedding is this weekend, are you going to attend?"
"Zoe, can you stop already? I'm not in the mood to talk about anything, you guys would have just left me to run away."
"Lily, you have to be smart. We can't just let Victoria have your mate, it's not possible." Lily looked at her best friend with her eyes wide open.
"What are you insinuating? He already rejected me, did you forget that?"
"We have to stop that wedding,"
"Please, count me out." Lily gave her a look that signified she was serious.
"Where we are going, we are not yet done." Zoe asked as she watched Lily walking briskly as if something was wrong, Zoe knew something was up because she had been acting strangely after Greg stopped her from running away two weeks ago."
Her best friend looked pale and hadn't been eating, she knew Lily still felt hurt from what Greg did to her.
It was clear Lily didn't want her to come with her, Zoe wondered where she was off to in such haste.

Lily had her mind made up, there was no way she was going to keep this as a secret for too long. She needed to tell Greg before it was too late.
"I'm here to see the Alpha," Lily told the huge guard in charge of the Alpha's quarters.
"What for?" He asked, "He's not around." He lied.
"Just tell him it's Lily, I don't have the strength for this." She felt so weak that she couldn't stand properly.
The guard sighed, he felt it was urgent and went to inform the Alpha.
"You can go in," he said as his eyes roamed her body from her head to her toe.
"Thank you!"
Lily entered to meet an empty room, but she was met with water sounds from the bathroom.
"Who's there?" Greg called out.
"It's me, Lily"
Greg came out, he tied a white towel across his waist, Lily couldn't help but stare as the hair on his chest stood and Lily remembered the previous night they had s*x.
"Concentrate Lily" she mumbled to herself.
He walked to the door where she had been standing to hug her but she pushed him away.
"Hey mama, what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant," Lily blurted.
"You are what?" Greg asked using his hands to form circles on his forehead.
"But it was just one night," Greg replied.
"Seriously? That's all you have to say, Greg?"
"I'll think of something, just calm down. Please don't tell anyone about it."
"I just came to tell you, do what you like," Lily said and stormed out of his house.
She felt cheated and foolish, why did she agree to sleep with Greg the other night? The same night he rejected her.
Lily didn't plan on telling her best friend, there was no need. She would just get rid of the pregnancy, there was no way she was going to keep this child.
"Lily, Victoria called for you. She's in her room." The guard in charge of the Alpha's quarters told her.
Victoria was now living close to the Alpha's quarters, Lily was worried as to why Victoria needed her. She felt nauseous and didn't have the strength to exchange words with her right now.
"Okay," Lily replied.
When Lily arrived at Victoria's house, she met Zoe who was seated there already.
"What are you doing here?" Lily whispered and sat close to her.
"I don't know, she called for me. We've been waiting for you," Zoe whispered back. They both had a surprise look on their face.
It wasn't a good thing to be called by Victoria because everyone knew she breathed trouble.
"You are finally here, Lily," Victoria said as she came out of her bedroom to meet them in the sitting room.
"Please join me in the dining room, " she called out to both of them.
They gave themselves a confused look, what's all this drama for? The same Victoria they knew?
"Okay," Lily and Zoe said in unison as they joined her at the dining table.
There were varieties of food on the table, Lily wondered what they were celebrating and why it was just the two of them she called.
"Before we start, I'd like to apologize to you girls for all the trouble I've put you in. I'm sorry and I hope you both can forgive me." Victoria said with sincerity in her eyes.
"It's fine, we all make mistakes," Zoe said while Lily just stared in confusion, something was not right but she couldn't place her hands on it.
"Let's eat. I hope you are fine Lily. You've been quiet." Victoria asked as she dished her food.
"I'm good, I just have a slight headache," Lily replied, and started dishing food to her plate. Zoe had already started eating, she never wasted time when it came to food.
The three of them were silent and Lily felt so awkward.
"The food is nice, thanks for inviting us, future Luna." Zoe beamed with a smile as she praised Victoria.
Lily was startled, when did Zoe become a fan of Victoria. She was still thinking when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
"Ahh!" Lily dropped her cutlery and tightened her stomach, the pain she felt in her stomach was bad.
"Zoe, help me, I'm dying." Lily was already foaming from her mouth.
"Next time you'll learn to stay away from my man," Victoria said and shook hands with Zoe.
"So, you were pregnant and you kept it away from me. You think I didn't know you've been hiding so many things from me lately?" Zoe folded her hands and circled Lily as she battled for breath.
Lily was shocked her best friend was part of Victoria's plan; to kill her.
"Zo..e," Lily called out as she took her last breath and slumped on the floor.
