-38- James

2024-11-17 16:00:39“Please,” Lily said, her voice coming out in pants as her eyes snapped open, looking at Andrew. James stared at her eyes; they weren’t the same color anymore. Her once brown eyes were now a golden brown and outside the iris was a thin blood red ring. What did that mean? His eyes were never like that.
“Make it stop, please,” she pleaded, and Andrew gave her a helpless look. “Kill me,” she whispered and James felt those words stab him and by the look on Andrew’s face, he felt the same way. The alpha pulled her against him as she resumed screaming.
“We’re too late, aren’t we?” Chris asked, his face looking pasty and pale. James nodded; his voice seemed trapped in his throat.
“Yes, she is going through the change now. It’s like being injected with acid that starts eating at your insides, which are set on fire. Your skin

“Okay then Chris, go with James and both of you return as soon as you leave Lily home,” he insisted and both Chris and James nodded. He held the limp form of Lily and tried not to focus on how nice it felt to hold her against him. He followed his own scent to find his way out of the maze of a building, with Chris following behind him. Every now and again James would steal glances at Lily, fearing she might stop breathing again, but she kept breathing deep, even breaths.They found their way out and into the forest. Lily groaned and turned herself towards James, snuggling close against him, causing his heart to beat a little faster. Once more, he felt unfamiliar emotions swirl inside him as the edges of his mouth turned upward in a hint of a smile, but he shoved them aside. Now was not the time for such things. He had to get her back home so they could find Xavier.

It was everywhere; no matter where Lily turned, blood was everywhere. It oozed from the walls; it flooded the floor, threatening to drown her. Lily ran down the hallway, trying to escape the wave of blood that chased her only to reach a dead-end. She begged and pleaded, hitting her fists against the wall. There had to be an escape!“Why should you escape it, when I didn’t get that chance,” a rough voice demanded, and she turned to see Fluffy or Kyle, which was his real name, standing there with the gaping stab wound in his chest. “I was only trying to help you and look what I got for it!” he shouted at her.“I was only doing what the doc told me so I could put food on the table for my children,” another rough voice called out to her and she turned to see the human who she killed accidentally by tearing out his throat. &

Lily returned to the bed and though the house was relatively quiet, she was being slammed with a variety of sounds. She could hear mummers of people talking throughout the house though she didn’t know what they were saying. Lily heard their heartbeats, like rhythmic beating drums that never stopped. She heard water dripping in the bathroom and running through the pipes. Lily heard a radio in the kitchen and a television in the living room.Then there were the smells that flooded her nose and brain. She smelled the paint on her walls. The pain was the same as when she moved in, but the smell stank as if the paint were new. Lily smelled the laundry soap and fabric softener that Sandy used to wash her sheets. She could smell Lacy’s fading scent. Lily could smell the dusty smell of her aged old books and the posters that clung to the wall. She could smell everything!

The next day, Andrew insisted she come down to his office. Lily stood in front of her door nervously. I can do this. Lily opened the door and the smells and sounds washed over her like a thunderous tidal wave. She heard Sandy cooking dinner in the kitchen, the faucet dripping in the bathroom, the water flowing through the pipes in and around the house, and Andrew and others talking in his office.The same went for the smells; the house, Sandy’s cooking, the water, dust, and everything else around her wafted up to her and threatened her sanity. At first Lily wanted to panic, but she forced herself to remain calm. James said there was no way to shut them out, so with a deep calming breath, Lily let them all in. Surprise washed over her as she stood in front of the office door. The intensity of the smells and sounds seemed to dim in force. Well, at least that’s a little of good news, she thought a

“Let me look at you,” Andrew asked and gently pushed her chin up so he could look at her directly in the eye. He pushed up her lip and the sharp intake of breath confirmed what she already feared. “My God, what has he done?” Andrew said, and it took all she had to keep from breaking down right then and there. She didn’t want to cry in front of Tony and James.“What’s wrong, Dad?” Tony asked as Andrew pulled her into a tight hug.“I’m so sorry Lily, you have no idea how sorry I am,” Andrew told her, ignoring Tony’s question for the moment. “You can go back to your room if you like,” he told her. She nodded, wiping a tear away from her cheek. She closed the office door.“Dad, what’s wrong?” Lily could hear Tony ask as

James, Tony, and Chris were in the front yard playing some football to help blow off steam, Tony and Chris were against James. They extended the invite to Greg, but the smaller werewolf scoffed and made some snide comment about having better things to do. James smiled as he watched Tony and Chris before him. He knew Chris had the ball, but Tony was trying to distract him. He pretended to go after Tony while Chris raced to his right, just like James wanted.With a growl of satisfaction, he did a spin and quickly changed directions and slammed Chris to the ground before the other werewolf knew what was happening. Chris groaned as James helped him up. “Damn Tony, I think we need maybe two or three enforcers with us to make this fair. You're wicked fast, James,” Chris said with a crooked smile, which James returned.“I’m just that good,&rdqu

James froze, unsure of what to do. He’d been around upset women before, but never in his life had they seen him as a source of comfort. He wrapped his arms around her in what he hoped was a comforting gesture. Honestly, he’d never felt more uncomfortable and so awkward in his life. As she continued to soak his shirt with her tears, he’d give anything for her to yell at him again. James knew how to handle that.“No one is going to kill you, Lily,” he told her, and she shook her head side to side but said nothing. “I’m sure you’ll be able to control it, and faster than I did. When I changed, I was a hormone-crazed teen. So I not only had to the beast to deal with but all the problems that being the typical teenage boy has as well,” he told her, trying to snap her out of this sobbing mess she’d become.Lily continued to cry and his words didn’t have the effect he

James kissed Lily’s inner thigh when she’d come down from her peak, once more smiling as she shivered in response. He trailed, kissed up her abdomen, up her stomach, through the valley of her breasts until he was face to face with her. She moaned his name, kissing him and resting her hands on his chest. He moved the kiss to her cheek and along her jawline until he reached the tender spot under her ear.James grazed the sensitive skin with his teeth, rewarding him with another lusty moan from her. He grabbed her wrists with his hands and pinned them above her head as he kissed and nipped his way down her neck. With his other hand, he parted her legs, placing his body between them. He couldn’t wait any longer; James needed to be inside her and the beast couldn’t agree more. He sucked lightly on the skin on her neck as he made love to her.Lily tried to free hands

“Hey James,” a high pitched gleeful voice broke James from his thoughts. He looked up and did his best not to cringe as he saw the woman approaching them.“Hey Ginger,” he replied, trying his best not to sound as irritated as he felt. She was an attractive wolf, there was no doubt about it, but he wasn’t interested, and Ginger just didn’t seem to get that in her head. It didn’t help that six months ago he let her kiss him when he was feeling really low and lonely. Thank God he came to his senses and stopped her before they went too far, but it was too late to keep her from getting ideas.“Hey ya, Ginger,” Freddie greeted with a sly smile. He knew what had happened and, of course, thought it was hilarious. She gave him a brief wave of the hand and instead kept her focus on James.“I wanted to come by and invite you to lunch,” she told James with a bright smile and James wanted to roll his eyes. He knew she wanted to invite him, that’s why he had been ignoring her calls.“I’ve already g

James Lacrosse packed up his tools, graciously turning down the offer of lunch from the scantily dressed owner of the home he’d been working on. He never understood why women thought that if they wore less clothing, a man would suddenly become more interested in them. “Didn’t stay for lunch, did ya?” The older werewolf and his boss chuckled, and James just shot him a glare in reply, which only made him hoot with laughter.“Good. Let them think you’re playing hard to get,” he went on through bales of laughers. “They pay more that way…just to see your pretty boy face, they’ll pay me double of what I usually charge,” he went on gleefully and James shook his head. He swore his boss, Freddie, sounded more like a pimp every day. Not that he could blame him for pushing an advantage. Freddie was getting up in the years and close to retirement.He wanted to pad his nest egg as much as he could, but James just wished Freddie had stopped padding his nest egg at his expense. “Maybe I should be ge

Lily’s brother had taken over being alpha for Andrew during the whole Xavier incident and it appeared that not even the power and prestige would get him to get rid of ole Ginny, his beloved jeep. She parked next to the battered jeep and slowly got out of the car. Here we go, she thought as she walked around to get A.J. out of his car seat. She held A.J. on her hip, then grabbed the duffle bag that contained her things.They walked to the front door hesitantly and slowly. It was just her family; she told herself once she noticed how difficult the simple task of knocking on the door was. The door quickly opened and Lily was swallowed in a hug. She wasn’t sure who had her trapped in a hug because all she saw was a flash of blonde hair and all the Roberts were blonde. Lily returned the hug, the scent revealing it was her adopted mother, Sandy.“We

“The queen says I won’t be in the fight this time,” Lily told them. “I should never have to do anything really but play bait and let others take down the bad guy this time.”A smile finally crossed Chris’ face. “You sit on the sidelines? Yeah, right,” he teased, and she rolled her eyes.“Yes, now I’m sideline Lily. No more rushing into the heat of things,” she told him pointedly, and his grin grew.“What about A.J.?” Jia asked and once more Lily sighed.“The queen says it’s better if I take him with me. Apparently, her visions say it’s not a good idea to leave him here,” she explained.“And what about James?” Chri

“But I can’t,” Lily demanded in response to the queen’s suggestion. There was a time where Lily would jump at the chance for a fight, but not anymore. Not after she realized what could happen and all that she could lose. “You know what happens when I get physical,” she argued.“That was then, but now you’ve been letting the wolf and the vampire out regularly and that’s beside the point because you won’t be in the fight…you’re just the bait. We’re controlling the information flow of who knows Silvano is free. You’ll go home under the pretenses that you’re visiting your family, introducing them to A.J. and all the while unawares that Silvano escaped,” the queen explained.“But the truth will be that you’ll have our best team stationed nearby waiting for an

Lily Nawassa stared into the microscope, holding her breath as she carefully placed the newly created serum into the sample. She let out the breath, waiting to see the results. “Come on,” she whispered when nothing had yet to happen. “Come on, come on, come on,” she chanted when still there wasn’t any reaction.“Sounds like you're trying to persuade it,” she heard one of her fellow lab partner laugh. “I don’t think vampiric persuasion has that much power,” he joked, and she sighed. She looked up at Bruce and gave him her best “you’re so not funny” look. One would think being a two hundred-year-old vampire, he’d know how to make an actually funny joke.“Well, I guess no reaction is better than a bad reaction,” she said with a sigh and leaned back into the chair, tryin

Lily sat in the little cafe sipping on her hot coffee, enjoying the warmth it provided her as she listened to detail what Veronica wanted to do and the offer of a job with the Aequivalere. “Honestly, ever since I heard of James Lacrosse, I’ve wanted to get my hands on a genetic sample, but he never stayed in one place too long and when he was in town, I only found out after he left. Though, I’m kind of glad if everything they said is true,” Veronica told her.Lily couldn’t resist the small smile appearing on her lips. “Well, first Veronica I’m going to check you out,” Lily started, and she nodded. “If you’re lying, I will probably kill you,” she said, intending to scare the vampire. “When I confirm that you’re with the Aequivalere, then you have yourself a little lab rat,” Lily told her, and Veronica smiled.Lily sighed, looking out the window. It looks

For the next few hours, everyone sat at the dinner table, eating one of Sandy’s gloriously delicious meals. James was there, staying in the guest bedroom until he decided what he wanted to do. Or at least, that was what Andrew told her, because James didn’t speak three words to her or look in her direction.Tony explained to her about the shift of power from Andrew to him and Lily looked over at Andrew. He was looking very proud as he listened to Tony. She smiled as she saw the powerful man she knew as father had returned. He may not be the alpha anymore, but he seemed happy and back to his old self again. Once Tony finished, he exchanged a look with Liz, who had a large ear to ear grin clearing her throat.“Tony and I wanted to let you all know that in six months we will be expecting our first,” she announced.

That night, there was a celebration for the rescue of the children. Also, even though no one dared say it out loud, they were also celebrating the doctor’s death. Wendy led Lily around the center of town, talking almost nonstop. With a smile, Lily let the teen pull her around and introduce her to all of her friends. Besides the weirdness of it all, she felt almost back to herself and that felt good. She could almost forget what had happened earlier with James. It made her feel awful things ended like that, but at least now he could think for himself.Pushing away her dark thoughts, she enjoyed herself. When she was finally free from Wendy, she looked around the crowded park where most of the celebrations were taking place. She smiled at Crocell and Karya. She bet they knew how to have a good time. “To the victory,” Karya cheered, handing her a drink as soon as Lily walked up to them.“To the victory,” Lily repeated, downing her drink, earning a look of approval from Crocell. They fill
