Chapter 0499 

“Remember, she doesn’t spend as much time with your parents as we do. I just. hope your mom and Naomi don’t scare Calista off tomorrow. I think Lily will be happy if she comes for dinner more often, now that she’s living here.” 

I set the guitar aside. “Are you really going to play her a song on that thing?” Anders asks me. 

“Yep. I’ve found the song I want to play, I just need to get better, then pick my venue.” 

“How are we going to get them to agree to go to Prom with us?” 

“That, my friend, is the question of the day.” 

After Anders goes to his room, I shower and get into bed. I make sure my phone volume is up, just in case. This time, I hear the ping around 12:30. 

Mate: You awake? 

Excellent. I grab a thicker blanket, dropping it on the roof before making my way to her window. When I get there, I see she has the window open and is sitting 

beside it. 

“Waiting for me?” I ask her quietly as I sit on her windowsill. 

She smiles shyly. “Maybe.” 

“Come on.” I extend my hand and take hers, waiting while she closes the window before we start our crawl to the roof. 

When we get there, I have the blankets already laid out. “I thought maybe you’d want to lay up here again, so I dropped off a couple more blankets so it’s a bit softer to sleep here.” I tell her before getting settled then motioning for her to join me. When she does, I pull another blanket over us. 

“What made you start coming out here? I’mean, it’s a great view, but was that the reason? You said it was a place for you to escape?” She asks. 

She looks up at me from her place on my chest. “If it’s too personal, you don’t have to answer. I was just wondering.” She says. 

I kiss her forehead. “I don’t mind answering, Lily. I’ll tell you anything you want to know.” I look up at the stars. “I found this spot after my parents died. I was having a hard time, struggling with losing the only family that I had. I mean, Anders and his parents are like family, but…” 

“It’s not the same.” She finishes for me. 

“No, it’s not.” I confirm. I look down at her. I don’t know if she’s realized that. she’s rubbing my chest, but it feels amazing having her touch me. 

“How did you manage? I mean, I don’t know if I’ll ever have a relationship with my parents again. I don’t have any siblings either.” She looks up at me. “How did you get over it.” 

I begin rubbing 

back in slow circles. “The hardest and easiest answer is time. It takes time to come to terms with the loss, time to get through the pain, time to adjust to your new normal. But having friends and people that care about you makes it easier.” I tell her. 

We settle into silence, each in our own thoughts. Donovan starts purring in my chest, and I hear her sigh before she falls asleep. 

‘She likes my purr.‘ Donovan says proudly. 

‘It’s a soothing sound for her.‘ 

‘Andra likes it too. I can feel her respond as well.‘ 

“I’m hoping we’ll be meeting up here more often and you can purr to both of their hearts‘ content.‘ I tell him. 

I cover her hand that is still laying on my chest, wrapping my fingers around hers before falling into sleep. 

‘Wake up!‘ Donovan shouts.co 

my head. 

I jolt awake and realize the sky is lighter than it should be. Damn, even up here, I sleep better with my mate beside me than I do in my own bed. 

“Come on, Lily bud. Time to get you back to your room.” I say, pulling her hand to my lips and kissing her knuckles while she slowly opens her eyes. 

Her head pops up. “Oh, we did it again?” 

I smile at her. “Yep, we both fell asleep. Come on, let’s get you back to your room before anyone notices that you’re gone.” 

We fold up the blankets, putting them away, before making our way back to her window. I quickly check her room before opening the window and helping her inside. 

She turns to close the window. “Lily.” I say, getting her attention. 

She turns to me, and I lean in quickly and kiss her lips. It’s quick but the minute

our lips touch, I want nothing more than to devour her. But now is not the time. I pull back smiling at her shocked expression. “I’ll see you in 15 minutes downstairs.” 

I wink at her and leave her staring after me as I move back to my room.
