The Alpha's Special Mate novel Chapter 57

Jace's POV

It was nice to see our little girl awake again even though I noticed Skylar stood stock still in the door way looking at her as tears filled her eyes and I didn't need her to tell me what was wrong because I already knew. I knew she felt out of place with her especially with Jasper and I around considering Lilith has a better relationship and is much closer with me and Jasper since we got to be around her more and Skylar missed out on it since she was taken away the day after Lily was born. I know how much of a toll it takes on her as she tries to connect and build a relationship with her while she is still here, considering I don't think she notices that anyone sees the little bits of pain, guilt and heartbreak she feels when her own daughter calls her Luna instead of mom on accident and it happens more often then anyone thinks.

I know she tries to hide how she feels from the rest of the world like how she doesn't think I know that she cries in the shower or how she sometimes cries herself to sleep when I'm working late and she's by herself. I always notice her tear streaked face when I know she had been crying silently in the bathroom before she would come and mingle with the rest of us. The doctors still don't know why Lilith slept for so long and they don't know how much time she has left since the vampire venom is taking a massive toll on her body and it can't keep up with it. Knowing this we all spend as much time with her as we possibly can to make every single day count with her while we can.

************Three Months Later************

Skylar's POV

Ever since Lilith had woken up we have been spending every waking moment with her. We would ask her everyday what she wanted to do and eat and she would tell us and we would do it whether she wanted to go to a zoo we would give her options of different zoos and she would pick one and we would go there whether it was near us or not. She loved the travelling and the adventures we brought her on even though we noticed over the past three months that she had been getting progressively sicker and weaker.

We had just got home from going to Disneyland where she had an absolute blast and we took so many pictures of her there that we could fill 2 photo albums full. Although as soon as we got home she collapsed and we rushed her to the hospital where they ran some tests and took some images while she slept.
