Chapter 36

: Xavier’s pov:
Lily nods, looking upset that I had seen the blood. She always wanted to appear strong even though she was clearly battling a lot inwardly. I couldn’t help but feel like the worst big brother in the world. A big brother sees fit to protect his sister and his family from any danger. But clearly, I had Tailed to protect them,
I lear my eyes away from Lily, pained by the sight of her coughing and angered that I couldn’t help her enough. If only I had been a second quicker. Maybe I could’ve stopped her from drinking that tca that day.
Hibiscus tea was always her favorite and a weasel, a traitor that once roamed our halls knew it very well. Knew it so well that he saw fit to poison her this way.
A day after our father died. One damn day, they couldn’t wait to have me mourn another loss. But fortunately, Lily had only drank a little and found the taste strange. But that little had already seeped into her bloodstream and poison her. 1
She should’ve been dead by now if she had drank all of it. But thankfully the medication Rodrick has been giving her lessens on how quickly the poison takes effect and spreads in her body. 1
But all the doctors I’ve seen kept saying the same frightening thing, she only has a year left before it consumes her body entirely.
A year.
One damn year.
My sister was supposed to find her mate and have kids of her own to torment her like she has done to me. She was supposed to be happy and carefree.
But now she was slowly dying, with the hope of ever having a family of her own slip away from her fingers. It was painful enough to know that she had no hope but to see it, was gut wrenching
Girls her age are supposed to live their best life with no worries. But Lily….she had a ticking clock on her shoulders weighing her clown. But even with all of that. She still inanages to smile.

“Aw is my poor brother feeling sad for little old me?” Lily giggled, yet coughed at the same time.
I rolled my eyes walking over to her and pull her into my arms even though she protested. If I didn’t bring her myself she wouldn’t go to her room. Lily would much rather suffer than rest. Annoying that she is, I couldn’t stand another sight of her blood on her palm or hear the painful coughis, I hated that she was suffering through this all alone.
“Brother
“Shut up Tilly. I’ll force that medicine down your throat if I have to but you’re going to drink it: either way. And then rest.” I huffed, pulling her sinall body to me and walked to the door.
Hearing her hufr, while crossing her arms over her chest, Lily grumbles. ” I feel for poor Aurora who has to put up with your annoying ways. Must you always get your way brother?”
I ignore her and she sucks her teeth in annoyance. I felt my lips lifting into a grin at finally irking her. Using one of my hands, I opened the door and walked out with her in my arms.
I quickly mind-link Chris to come to her room. He was one of the few that Lily could never slip past. Which made my little sister less fond of the gamma wolf.
“Who are you mind-linking?” Lily asked with accusation on the tip of her tongue.
Smirking yet keeping my gaze forward, I answered.” Chris. He’ll be the one to guard outside your door. Because he seems to be the only one you can’t sneak past.”
I could feel her annoyance grow and that fed my amusement.” You didn’t!” She snarls then coughs, quickly blocking her mouth.
“Oh but that I did,” I murmured cockily. If she was hell bent on tormenting me, especially about Aurora, then I only see it right to do her the same with Chris.
Two can play this game. “But – but he’s annoying and I hate him,” she ground out trying to get her point across. If only she knew that this was only making Chris be the best person to guard her.
Pro
“Did he not save you from drowning last week where you sneaked out to swim?” I shook my head slightly.
Huffing Lily grumbles. “Doesn’t make me hate him any less. Besides brother, if I have only a year to live I’m supposed to live it to the fullest. I’m fifteen and I can’t even swim yet!”
“You’re fourteen Lily. And the doctor said in order to stop the poison from spreading faster, you shouldn’t be running around but rest in bed.” I said pointedly, kicking open her door.
“In other words. Be an immobile idiot.” She grumbles in displeasure Rolling my eyes, I set her down on her feet. “Lily,”
“Spare me the pity Xavier
I winced slightly when she calls me by my name. She always does when she’s angry with me.
“Now that you’ve spoiled my day before it had even begun, how about you take the medication and bring it for me would you? So you can get out of my hair.” She huffs, walking to her bed and plops down.
Grumbling how annoying she was under my breath, I walk towards her dresser and grab a hold of the small bottle. Walking back to her I push it into her hands.
