Been really on the fence if I wanted to try this. Is is different for me. I would love to know if it is something worth continuing. Remember it is a fiction, and my version of things.
Joe rolled over pushing his noise into her hair. He pulled her flush to his body, she wiggled against him. A sigh came out of her, " you awake," Joe asked her.
"Kinda," she turned herself around facing him. " We have dinner at your parent's house tonight." She looked up at him, those eyes. They were an auburn, and they sparkled. His fingers trace her hair line, around her face. "I said I would bring pasta salad," she caught his finger taking it to her mouth, kissing the tip. "Didn't get enough last night," he smirked at her. "Mmm," was her only answer, she took his finger in his mouth. "Lily," he said warning her. "Just once more," Lily said in a sweetest innocent voice. Even if he wanted to he couldn't deny her. He grabbed her leg wrapping it around him, with a swift move he rolled her on her back. "I love you," she pushed his hair back. He smiled down at her. "I love you too," his body eased into her. As his hips moved faster Lily held tight to his shoulders. "Hold on," he growled in her neck. She thought she would fall through the bed. His growl was deep,"Joe," Lily moved her hand to move his hair away. "Joe," Lily voice hitched. Deep eyes starred down at her, they weren't Joe eyes, they were Roman's. "Joe," Lily yelled, he shook his head. He body slowed down, he shook his head to clear it. "Sorry," he panted. Lily gave a weak smile, her eyes showed her worry. It was quite for a second Lily still keeping a watchful eye she rolled her hips against him. He moved slow, the whole while watching making she was ok.
With a load groan Joe head fall forward, he rolled himself next to her,so his weight didn't crush her. He lead listening too her heart beat in her chest. "Hey," he pulled himself up. Lily cast her eyes over to him," I am sorry, you know I would never."
"I know," Lily moved next to him putting her arm around him. "I just got nervous." His hand stoked over her long jet black hair. Her and Joe had been together for a year. By all rights they shouldn't be. Even in their world it is looked down upon. But somehow their love had won out.
"I mean what happened with Dean and Renee." Joe knew he should let it go.
"I am sorry," Lily sat up, she settled herself on Joe's lap. "What I get for dating an Alfa male. I am just use to those pretty grey eyes looking back at me."
"Oh," Joe's hands moved to he hips," and dating a witch is so much easier."
"Yes," Lily smiled , " but you should feel privileged, me being the last of my kind."
"Well " Joe hand started pulling her hip forward," I plan to fix that one day when we have our own."
"But they will be half breeds," Lily's joked," oh the horror! We will have ruined our whole blood line." He hands moved over his, "I need a shower," she went to move off his lap. "Need help," he asked.
"No," she smiled at him,"and don't give me that face," she pointed. Joe laid back, watching her make her way to the bathroom,"oh and shave," her heard him yell. "It makes our mom happy."
Lily sat with dish of pasta salad on her lap. You could smell the grill from the front of the house. "Come on," Joe pulled at her wrist. Lily reluctantly open her door and followed Joe in the house. His mother was in the kitchen, and greeted them both with hugs. "Thank you," she smiled as she took the bowl from Lily. "Everyone is out back, go on,". She waved them off. "Can I help with anything," Lily hoped her answer would be yes. "No, go see everyone."
Lily tagged behind Joe, the back yard was full with his family. His father was standing behind the grill, and gave a wave with his tongs. Joe twin cousin ran up, and the three fall in a heap on the ground rolling, tugging at each other. The whole time laughing, Lily smiled backing out of their path. She looked up to see his sister, and his cousin wife, and the look. She thought she get use to it, one day be able to bush it off like Joe told her to. But no matter who you were or title you had, in the end you wanted to be accepted.
Lily made her way to the tree were the children were playing. She watched them throwing balls, laughing and chasing each other. As the ball rolled to Lily's feet , she bent down and picked it up. Jey's son ran over to pick it, Lily hadn't realized it was floating above her hand. "Wow," he looked wide eyed. Lily laughed, "kids get over here," Lily turned to see Trinity walking toward them. Lily let the ball hit the ground. Trinity gather the kids up moving them to the table set for dinner. She never took her eyes off Lily.
Lily walked to were Joe sat with his family. She sat next to Joe, he took her hand kissing it. "Colby, Jonathan and Renee are here," Joe said. Lily was sure the car had just pulled up. Joe could hear from miles away, it always amazed her. Lily was relieved to know they were coming. They were far more accepting of her and Joe. She smiled seeing Renee bouncing toward her, " Lily," she sequels do, Lily stood hugging her, " I love your hair, " Renee held a piece in her fingers. "It is so thick and shinny," she smiled. Lily couldn't help but laugh. Renee was born fairy, by nature she was bubbly. Once she met Jonathan she clipped her wings to stay with him. "You are sad," Renee's frowned," why?"
"No," Lily shook her head.
"Joe's family is being mean," Renee pouted, " it not fair. I mean you were born how you were born. And Joe loves you. And who are they to judge you," Lily looked around hoping no one heard. Renee also had no filter. What she felt came right out of her mouth.
"Renee,". Lily took her hands," let sit down and eat." Lily smiled at her hoping that was convincing enough. She reached up and fix the scarf she wore. It hid the scar that went down her neck. "Thank you," Renee tilt get head. "He didn't mean it," she whispered
"Oh I know," Lily shook her head. It was right after she met Joe. Unlike Colby and Joe , Jonathan grew up not knowing what he was. Since his first shift he had been on the streets, running to the woods when he shifted. He had no control, many times he woke up name alone having no memory of what happened. Joe had run across him on the beach. Joe could smell it. It took time but Joe ganged his trust. He brought him home, and now not only was he part of his pack but he was family. But by far Jonathan was more wild, and sometime it took over.
That is what happened that night. Renee had gone out looking for him. She found him and went running up, not realizing Dean had taken over. He lashed out grabbing by the neck. Lucky Colby was close, and could get him off. Jonathan never forgive himself, no matter how much Renee did. It was a reminder that they teetered between being human and the wolf that lived in them. And they had to fight to keep that balance, because if they were not careful the wolf would take over.
Eating with a pack of werewolf could, to say the least be very interesting. Folks and knives were not always used. On top of the occlusion grow and snap. At home Joe did his best to show so table manners. But he was with his family, Lily had to laugh. And at least they were all forced on their food, not her. Most of the women in Joe's family did not like her. They believed she had took some spell on him. Done something to keep him. Joe's parents were a bit more understanding. Joe's mother was mortal, which was almost worse then not dating our own kind. But the Anoa'i pack had ruled for years. And because of his father it was over looked. But than came the Great War, the one that started with the death of Lily's mother. Back than people traded brought, their kind. The biggest trader than was Paul Heyman, no one did anything with out him. And most trading was through marriage. Often to make families stronger, gain more power. Lily's mother had met someone fallen in love married, and had her. But the Lesnar family wanted her for their son. When Lily's family denied, Lesnar's son Brock slaughtered her family. Which in sighted a war, problem was the witches were not strong enough. The Lesnars were a creature no one knew. Heyman seemed to be the only one who could control them. The witches made allies with werewolf, they needed their strength. After two years of fighting the Anoa'i pack took out the Lesnar family. All but one, Heyman managed to hide Brock away. And not after the Anoa'i's lost their son Mathew.
After all the fighting and loses. The elders ruled no more trading or selling. Paul Heyman despaired. Lily became another baby dropped off, spent her life with mortals. Not that she ever fit in. At 18, she met a man by the name Paul Bearer. He had been sent by the elders to see Lily was safe. He told her, her family story . Which took awhile for Lily to believe but it explained so much. Unfortunately because most witches were killed Lily had a very hard time learning and controlling her gifts. Paul did want he could to help her. He often had his hands full between her and his two other charges. Lily often went to book stores hoping to find out what she could. It had been ruled she was not to use her gifts. The elder felt if anyone found out there was a witch left it would start another war. After much push from Paul she was allowed to study.
That is were Joe first saw her outside a book store. He knew she was different, he never smelt anything like her. And those eyes they were a color he had never seen. Their meeting caused quite stir. When it was clear they couldn't be kept a part. Many believed the old ways couldn't be kept. The world was different, there was to much information. Everywhere was at everyone's finger tips. And with Lily being the last, she wouldn't have found a mate of her own kind.
Lily tried to kept her eyes off his family. And quite her mind, "your salad I'd really good hon, " Joe's mother smiled.
"Thank you," Lily nodded.
"What's in it," Trinity asked. She by far was the most vocal about her dislike for Lily.
"Just pasta, mayo, spices," Lily shrugged.
"What can of spices," Trinity grabbed the bowl looking into it.
"Don't start," Joe growled.
"Well isn't that what they was herbs, spices," Trinity raised her eyebrows.
"Babe," Jonathan, Joe's cousin grabbed her shoulder, " it is just pasta salad."
"You see what she did with that ball," Trinity asked, all eyes turned to Lily. "Creepy shit."
"I didn't mean, it was nothing. Sometimes," Lily tried to explain.
"She wouldn't hurt the kids," Renee spoke. Jonathan took her hand, he could tell this tension was getting to her.
"She can't control herself. Hell she not sure what she can even do." Trinity flipped her hands.
"Shut her up," Joe was up fists on the table, growling at his cousin.
"Your brother not here because of her," Trinity pointed at Lily. "My uncle not here. They ruled she shouldn't even be. We all be better with out them. And you bring her here, around us. You pick her for your mate," Trinity shook her head. Joe growl was loud and deep, his breath was hard and his muscles tense. "Hon," Lily whispered hoping she could reach him, with her voice. Colby and Jonathan were on edge. "Please," Lily went to reach for Joe. His growl and snap let her know.
In response the twins were standing teeth showing. "Don't," Lily pleaded, she saw Renee starting to ball up. She pulled her kneed up to her chest. Lily clinched her fist, with that every glass shattered, plates cracked, bowls flew. "Enough," Joe's father hit the table. "Roman," his voice boomed, "back down. All of you!" Everyone eased off.
"I am so sorry,"Lily looked around the table, " I will," she stood up, gather the piece of glass. She looked up seeing Joe's cousin children cuddled to their mothers. Looking at her in fear. "I will go get ," Lily just walked off to the house. She was to upset and not sure whatever she would do. Joe went to follow, his mother stopped him.
"They are attached to your emotions," Joe's mother's voice made her jump. She wiped to eyes, pretending to look for something clean with. "When Joe was 13 he grew a foot in two days. He wake up crying in the night. Because his muscles hurt. He cried to not let him go through this. He wanted to be like all his other friends. Why couldn't he be like me? Out of all my children he had the worst time. Killed me," she reached out to Lily. "But I was there, I can't imagine being alone and facing this. Having no one to even tell what you are."
"Oh people tell me," Lily gave a laugh shaking her head.
"My son's death, any one who was lost in that war, was not your fault. You were a baby. That Hayman started it, for a human he is the biggest monster I have ever seen." Joe's mother stepped close. " I think you and Joe were meant for each other. Lily, you are strong. You may not know it. And my Joe, when he was giving the name Roman Reings. I know he would lead, just like his father. You make him happy, keep him grounded. When he brought Galina home, it wasn't the same. He thought he had to pick her. And I am so glad he found you. They have so much violence and death to face. You brought him love." She smiled at Lily.
"He brought me a lot too," she hugged his mom.
"Lily is my son's choose," Sika voice filled the now quite backyard. "He will lead this pack with her. You will respect her as you do him." He looks met with everyone around the table. Everyone looked down. "Any one who has a problem with this, I am here to talk to," he sat down.
"Sorry bro," Jonathan reached for Joe's hand. Joe took it pulling him in for a hug. Trinity still sat with her arms crossed. Lily stepped out of the house with Joe's mother. She started to clean the table," I can fix this," Lily whispered to her. "Just clear everyone one away." Everyone stood back, and Lily shook her arms out. Letting out a deep breathe. She closed her eyes, she knew if she just invisioned the table as it was. "Holy shit," Jonathan said with a laugh. Lily opened her eyes to see the table as it was. She smile to herself. "See," Renee jumped and pointed," she is really good. You just gave to let her think. Not be so mean." Jonathan grabbed her by the wrist, sitting her down. "It's all good babe," Jonathan kissed her head.
Everyone sat back down eating, " you ok," Joe asked Lily. She nodded taking his hand and mouthed I love you. He made her feel safe. She hoped they could be as strong as his parents were. She smiled at the thought of a family with him. Lost in her thoughts she never noticed Neville circling above. " Neville," Renee pointed jumping up.
"I don't think this is good," Lily snapped back to reality.
