Chapter 26

Lily POV

We wait patiently for Aria to get off the phone and serve the lecture I know I am about to receive. She places her phone down on the bedside table before turning to me.

"Just Reid wanting to make sure we got here alright" She tells me. I nod before laying back down on the bed. Aria kicks off her shoes before lying beside me.

"No, lecture?" I ask.

"No, I mainly wanted to find out how you are doing with this whole stepchild thing?" She states.

I think for a few minutes and we lay in silence, Amber pulls out her phone and starts playing on it, pretending to ignore us but I know she is listening.

"Everything is fine, it is what it is. I can t change it, so why dwell on it?" I tell her.

"I know it hurts, I also know you saved yourself for your mate Lily, I know you said you didn t want one but if you didn t why did you save yourself?" She asks and I look at her.
