Life After the Storm

chapter 48

As I can open my eyes, I notice everything is white. I have never been so relieved to die. Now I can understand why Jayden wanted to come here to visit his mother. The feeling is amazing. As I look around, I really don't see anybody, but all I feel is pure happiness. Wondering why I did not feel like this the last time I was here.

As I begin to hear my name in a faint tone, I look in the distance, but don't see anything. Then I hear it again “Lilly oh Lilly, my sweet girl.” my eyes filled up with tears when I recognized the voice. I would know that voice from anywhere that's when I began looking for my mother. Excitement runs through my entire body. I begin to shake for once, not in fear but because I'm so happy.

As I see my mother, I run to her as fast as I can, excited to feel her touch. It has been so long that I have been able to see her and talk to her, smell her hair. I don't waste any time once she becomes close enough. I then gave her the biggest hug that I had ever given her. As she wraps her hands around me and returns the hug right back.

“Oh, Lilly my sweet girl, I am so sorry, honey, you have been through so much. In such a small period of time.”

“Mommy I have missed you so much, it has been so hard being alone not having anyone.”

“Ooh Lilly you were never alone, I never left you my sweet girl I live through you. I might not be there in person, but I'm with you at all times.”

“Mommy I'm afraid that I have finally lost myself. I don't know how to be happy. I have done so many stupid things and letting people walk all over me.”

“I know that it looks impossible, but you will be ok, You're going to live an amazing life Lilly, I promise you.”

“I'm a prisoner by my mate, he has taken everything from me and more I'm so stupid that I have allowed him too. But this time he took it too far and took the life that was growing inside me.”

“Lilly my love, you are a healer you are able to have a second chance mate, the only thing is that it has to be a wolf that has lost their mate.”

“I am confused, so Ivan isn't my mate.”

“Yes, he is your true mate, but because you're a healer, you are able to die and break that bond. Lilly, it's your mark that matters. Once you mark someone, and then they mark you, that is when you bond with another is complete.

Then that person can become your mate.”

“How would I find such a person, every person who I came across has betrayed me.”?

“There is one suitable candidate.”

“Mother Jayden is way too young for me.”

She begins to laugh, “Lilly I'm not talking about Jayden, I'm talking about Sam.”

“Mother Sam hasn't found his mate.” C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Lilly, he found his mate, and she was killed.”

I then feel so sorry for Sam, wishing I would have known that he lost his mate. He has always been there for me. I Wished I would have been there for him, but I didn't know.

“Mom, that means that I can be free and happy with Sam.”

“Yes, just know once you mark another you cannot take it back. But if you get marked, you know how to get rid of it, Lilly, you die.”

“Thank you mom, you have saved me once again, and I promise you this, I won't let you down.”

“Lilly, you have never ever disappointed me. I'm so proud of you. I love you so much.”

I then walk up to her and put my arms around her body and hug her. “I love you mom, please tell dad and Landon I love them as well.”

As I feel her body fading away, I don't open my eyes to see that she is gone, just wanting a little more time just to be happy. I now know what I need to do to be free forever, and I can promise that nothing will stop me.
