Life After the Storm novel Chapter 44

I'm not sure what he is about to tell me, I'm hoping that it is good and not bad. I really just wanted to enjoy my breakfast, but I have a feeling that he is about to ruin it. Just by looking at his face, I know that whatever he is about to say, it is not going to be good.

He then starts to talk as he is nervous. “You know how my pack is broken, and I would do anything to protect them.”

“Landon I know how important your pack is, we will figure something out together, I promise.”

“The thing is, Lilly , I already figured it out with Ivan, but there were terms that had to be followed.”

“Landon, what did you do?”

“I promised him you.”

“What you promised him me, I'm not an object you can just give to someone.”

“I'm sorry Lilly, I had no other choice. We need to come together as a pack. He made his terms very clear to me. I can't have any involvement with you from here on out.”

“No What about Jayden, I love you.”

“Lilly there are more things at stake here than my happiness, I had to give him what he wanted.”

“You said that you loved me, but you were so easy to give me away. I don't want a life with Ivan. I'm not going back, I'm sorry.”

“I'm sorry Lilly Ivan is here to take you back with us, he came and brought others just in case you would try to run.”

My eyes began to fill up with tears, wondering how I could have been so stupid to think I belonged with Landon and his pack. I should have known that Ivan wouldn't have let me go. I look at Landon with disappointment and tear filled eyes. “So last night was all a lie.”

“Lilly I'm sorry, please, you must understand this is the only way he is your mate, you belong to him.”

“I belong to no one, I should be able to choose what I want, it shouldn't be chosen for me.”

I can't hold my tears any longer, as they fall I feel a little hand begin to rub my back. “Lilly don't cry, please don't be sad, daddy why you make Lilly cry?”
