Mated in the Shadow of My Sister Chapter 0212
(Brady POV) My heart pounding, I called Evelyn. She answered the phone on the first ring. She was crying hysterically, which made it hard to understand her. However, from what I could gather from between her sobs, Sammy had been kidnapped from his room at some point between Evelyn’s fourth and fifth text messages to me this morning. Worse, the kidnappers left a note, which Evelyn agreed to text to me. The note said: “You have 48 hours to bring us the she-wolf. We no longer care if she comes dead or alive. If we do not get the she-wolf, you will never see your son alive again. We will be in touch about the transfer details.” Holy Goddess. The guilt for leaving Black Moon while my pup was still there hit me hard and fast. Had I been there, he would have been with me. And if he had been with me, he would not have been kidnapped. I let pride, emotions, and jealousy cloud my thinking. And even though it was none of Evelyn’s business, I really had been f&&ing another she

Now those wolves want Lily dead, but of course killing her has now gotten tremendously harder. In the hopes of getting leverage, they kidnapped Sammy this morning while he was playing in his room and they left that note. However, we intercepted the kidnappers before they left the pack with Sammy. Evelyn still believes that Sammy has been kidnapped, and the kidnappers’ bosses still believe that Sammy has been kidnapped, but he is fine. We have the kidnappers safely kept in the dungeons in Red River, unable to mind-link. We will keep them there until you return and the werewolf council is functional again.” I ran my hands through my hair as I tried to process what my father had just told me. What the f&&k. Evelyn was behind all of this? Or at least some of it? How? Why? “How did… how did you figure it out?” “It was all right there in front of you, Son, but you were too blinded to see it. Evelyn knew that the wolves who attacked the pack were after Lily. She either knew tha

(Lily POV) James and I were standing next to each other in this foreign-to-us hall, feeling confused, when we heard a female voice behind us. “It took you long enough. Come, we do not have much time.” We turned around and saw a beautiful woman —no, Goddess— standing before us. She was wearing a

(Lily POV) "Let me explain more," the Moon Goddess said. Before she could, I interrupted with my own question. I could not help it. The Moon Goddess’ words were re-opening old wounds and making me remember all my old insecurities about living under Stephanie’s shadow. “Are you… are you saying that I was your second choice? And that Stephanie was your first?” Feeling my distress, James quickly pulled me off of my chair. He then adjusted our positions so that I was sitting in his lap while he held onto me protectively. The Moon Goddess smiled at his gesture before she leaned forward, grabbed both of my hands, and looked at me with almost-scary seriousness. “I was worried that you might think of it that way, Lily. But, no, I am not saying that you were my second choice. I am saying that you were not who I originally expected to put into this position. That even I sometimes make mistakes.” “That sounds like the same thing.” “It is not. I love all of my children, and you ha

(Lily POV) “Now, if you are ready, let us talk about that destiny of yours. Your earned destiny.” I hesitated. I desperately wanted to know what all the secrets were about, but I still had so many questions about everything that the Moon Goddess just told me. There were pieces that still did not seem to fit. At least I knew that James was always supposed to be mine. Somehow, I found that incredibly comforting. “May I ask you a few more questions first?” I asked. The Moon Goddess shook her head. “I am really sorry, my love. I had hoped that we would have longer to talk, but the longer this conversation goes on, the bigger of a wrinkle it creates. And thanks to the two of you and your little lovefest this week, I have already had to intervene and wrinkle things a bit too much already….” The Moon Goddess paused and gave us both a mischievous smile. When I realized what the Moon Goddess was referring to, I began blushing. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see that James

“Thankfully, we do not need to worry about that,” the Moon Goddess answered with a smile. “Although I can say you may have had the same destiny, but perhaps it would have been framed a little bit differently.” The Moon Goddess stood. We did as well. “You need to go home now and take care of your pack and the council. Once those are taken care of, you will need to begin to work on the other packs in the United States and throughout the world. Your wolves will be able to guide you. I will see you again in the future. In the meantime, know that I am only a prayer away.” The Moon Goddess gave each of us another hug, and then paused. “Lily, could you do me another favor please. When you see Evelyn, I would like you to give her a message for me.” After giving me the message, the Moon Goddess waved her hand in the air. A puff of silver smoke exploded, and then suddenly James and I were back in bed in my apartment. But for the golden piece of paper in my hand, I could have easil

(Lily POV) “Rise and shine, beautiful,” James said as he came into the bedroom and opened the blinds, flooding the room with sunshine. I groaned and put my pillow over my face. “Ten more minutes.” James gently pulled the pillow away from me, earning him a low growl. Now, let us back up for a second. Normally I am a morning person. I do not even bother to set an alarm clock half the time, because I do not need one. However, yesterday was not exactly a normal day. I quit my job at the girls’ home, fought with Brady, fully marked and mated with James, and met the Moon Goddess. Then, once we “got back,” James and I spent half the night talking through everything that we had learned and everything that we wanted to do. Meaning, I had barely slept and I was physically and emotionally exhausted. I could not understand why James did not feel the same way. Instead, he responded to my growl by laughing at me. “Come on, sweetheart. Our flight leaves in three and a half hours, and

“You stayed over at Derek’s?” I asked, feeling surprised. “No… um… we rejected each other yesterday.” “What? Oh… Are you ok? Where are you?!?!” “I… I sort of… met someone else.” Oh, Goddess. “Charlotte, please tell me that you did not have another one-night stand.” She did not say anything. Although I had never had a one-night stand, I was not offended by the idea of them. It just made my heart hurt for Charlotte, because one-night stands had been the entirety of her sexual experience. “Char…” “What?” “Did you have another one-night stand?” “You told me not to tell you.” I rolled my eyes. “Goddess, Charlotte. Well, why are you calling me and not getting out of there?” “My one-night stand was with a wolf. A really hot wolf. It was my first time with a werewolf, Lily, and it was amazing. Or at least what I remember was amazing. We were both super drunk and broken hearted and it escalated.” “Fast forward to the part where you are still there and are having to call m

Author Note: The Inspiration Have you ever wondered where the inspiration for a story comes from? I know I have... and for this book, I promised you a while back that I would tell you. So here goes. I mentioned to a friend in passing that I wrote "My Mate's Wedding Drama." That one was written as sort-of a fun, funny project. Not very serious. Something VERY different from my day job. She asked me, "Is that some sort of therapy for you?" "Therapy for what? I don't need therapy." "Well, with your dad in town... and everything with your mom and sister...." "Oh.... Ohhhhhhhhhh...." And somehow that was literally all it took. Mated in the Shadow of My Sister was born. I feel sort-of disingenuous saying I wrote it, because it largely wrote itself. More often than not, the characters took over my keyboard as I typed, or they started yelling plot points to me in the shower or while I was driving. It was sort of a wild ride, to be honest. To get this book done, I have gott

I could not believe that they had done all of this for me. We spent the next few hours eating, dancing, and laughing. I did not think the night could get any better, but then it did. James pulled me aside. “Sweetheart, I don’t know if you noticed the colors of the decorations…” “They are beauti

(Lily POV) (A few months later) Something is up, but I do not know what that “something” is. What I do know is that everyone has been acting really strangely today. It started when James brought me breakfast in bed… that he had taken the time to cook himself. Then, after we had both eaten, he

When she did not say anything for a few minutes, I decided to go ahead and give her the message I was supposed to deliver earlier. “Evelyn, this may sound a little weird, but I had an opportunity to talk to the Moon Goddess several months ago.” “Because you are the chosen one,” she said, not lifting her head off of the table. Ok, it is definitely the jailhouse newsfeed. “Yes. She gave me a message that I was supposed to give to you when I saw you. I am sorry that I did not give you the message earlier, but everything sort of happened really quickly…” “What was the message?” Evelyn asked. Her head remained sideways on the table, but her tone was curious. “She said that you sometimes ask her a question when you pray. It is usually the same question, and she wanted to answer it for you.” Evelyn sat up. “What… what was the answer?” “Yes, she will and more.” Evelyn began smiling and crying at the same time. “I assume you understand the message?” I asked curiously. Evelyn nod
Mated in the Shadow of My Sister Chapter 0272
(Lily POV) After I arrived back at Black Moon, I met Charlotte for a quick lunch. We then headed to the dungeon visiting room together, where Evelyn was already chained to a table waiting for us. Like Stephanie and Sheila, she was being taken good care of, but she nevertheless looked awful. “How are you, Evelyn?” I asked. “As good as can be expected, being this pregnant and in here,” she sighed. “You wanted to meet with us?” I asked politely. “Yes, thank you. I know it may seem crazy for me to reach out to you after everything that happened, but my wolf trusts you. And Charlotte, Sammy talks so highly of you every time he comes to see me.” For the briefest moment, I half wondered if we were in the right visiting room. This was not the Evelyn that called me and Charlotte whores as recently as her trial. This Evelyn seemed very, very different. “What is going on, Evelyn?” Charlotte asked. Evelyn sighed. “This pup is going to be arriving soon, and I need a plan. I ori
Mated in the Shadow of My Sister Chapter 0271
(Lily POV) Another couple of months have passed, and the trials in both packs have finally all been completed. I am currently on my way to see Evelyn at Black Moon. I need to finally deliver to her the message that the Moon Goddess gave me, and she also wants to talk to Charlotte and I about her plans for her unborn pup. Like all of the other trials, Evelyn’s trial is now over. She was sentenced to 25 years in the dungeons. That was a harsh sentence, but she did not lose her wolf. When I talked to Edy, she told me that she wanted to stay with Evelyn. She said that Evelyn had lost her way, but buried under all of the jealousy and pain, she really did have a good heart. Interestingly, those sentiments were very similar to the ones that I received from most of the wolves that I talked to. In fact, with the exception of the council member wolves that I freed on the night of the takeovers, the only other wolves who wanted to be freed from their humans were those belonging to Ste

Am I done dealing with the past? No. There is more work to be done and issues to be dealt with —including Sheila’s pup; Stephanie’s pup; my father; and Evelyn. But for now I will take a short break from the drama and celebrate.... because tonight is an important night. It is both my mate’s birthday, and Brady and Charlotte’s pre-wedding bash. **** (James POV) If you told me a few months ago that I would be spending my birthday voluntarily enjoying a beer with Brady Hyder, I would have checked you into a mental hospital. And yet here we are. Joey is here too. The three of us are currently at the bar, watching our mates on the dance floor, taking bets on which one of us is going to cave and go to them first. It is amazing how things can change. It is also amazing how much I actually like Brady now… at least most of the time. Of course, it helps that our mates are such good friends. It has forced us to learn to get along. Lily, Charlotte, and Jessica have all practically a

(Lily POV) It has now been five weeks since the pack and council takeovers. Since then, there has been a whirlwind of activity both inside and outside of the pack. Randall and Jane’s belongings were boxed up and moved to (separate) storage units, and James and I moved in to the alpha suite. Meanwhile, the belongings of my parents and Stephanie have also been packed up so that Joey and Jessica could move in. All photographs and shrines to Stephanie have been taken down and repurposed, and the Steffie Garden has been given a very not-sexy new name: “Staff Break Room.” Additional tables and benches have been added to accommodate the re-purposing of the space. Similar changes have occurred throughout the pack. The individual trials are well underway. My mother’s trial was first. I decided to recuse myself from any decision making related to her punishment, both because I am both her daughter and one of her victims. I also decided not to attend the trial, sending James to obser
