The Alpha's Special Mate novel Chapter 52

Skylar's POV

As soon as I heard that my baby girl was going to be home soon I got so excited and very nervous. We were all in the living room waiting for them to arrive that I couldn't sit still and ended up pacing around the room. It wasn't until I heard the rumbling of an engine before it cut off that I stopped in my tracks and stood frozen to my spot as I stared at the living room doorway as I heard 3 sets of footsteps approaching the front door before I heard someone knock. Jasper answered the door seeing as Jace and I were too nervous and frozen to each other to answer it, so he greeted them. I saw Lucy first making my eyes water as I hugged her back knowing I've missed her and was so grateful for her being here to look after my daughter. As soon as Lucy moved Jace and I dropped to our knees crying as we laid eyes on our little girl who wasn't so little anymore making me feel extremely guilty for everything that has happened to her.

After telling her who we were and saying how much we loved and missed her she started crying as she ran at us and threw herself into our arms. We held her closely and stayed like that for what seemed like only a few minutes but was actually like an hour long. Lilith pulled away from us sniffling before she said she was hungry making everyone giggle at how precious and adorable she was. Jasper came up to us and leaned down and told her to come with him and he would make her something to eat while Jace and I talked with Lucy.

Once Jasper and Lilith were in the kitchen laughing and talking about what she would like to eat I heard Lucy clear her throat as she stood there nervously. Looking at her questioningly I heard Jace clear his throat before he spoke cutting through the slightly awkward silence in the room.

"Lucy I am so glad you are safe, I also wanted to thank you for helping to protect Lilith for us since we could not at the time. I would also like to know who this gentleman is standing behind you?" Jace asked her gently
