Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -48- Lily
Lily grabbed her shoe and stomped back to her room. She swore when she dealt with Xavier she was going to pump James with so much silver that people would think he was the silver surfer. She looked in the mirror of her bedroom once more, viewing the horrendous mark upon her skin.“No way in hell,” she demanded, then adjusted her t-shirt, making sure it wasn’t visible; she didn’t need someone to see it and think the wrong thing. After an attempt to hide the mark, she put on a sweater to be safer and walked downstairs. Her mother pulled her into a hug when she walked into the kitchen and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “Good morning to you too Sandy, what was that for?” She asked, and the older woman smiled.“I am just happy for you,” she replied and Lily looked at her, confused, as she sat down at the table.

Lily closed the door, locking it with a heavy sigh, feeling a strange mix of relief and frustration. Did he not get that last night was just a onetime deal and nothing more? She hoped he didn’t think they were really mates because there was no way in hell she’d be his mate. She’d rather have a hole in the head to be honest.Lily walked over to the small bookcase near her window and grabbed her pathology book, feeling as if she had fifty-pound weights on each shoulder. As if she didn’t have already enough to deal with, now she had to deal with a possessive love sick lycanthrope. If it could’ve been anyone other than James, she thought with a pout.Lily had read her textbook all the morning and well into the afternoon when someone knocked on her door. “Come in,” she called, not lifting her eyes from the page. When the doo

Her heart raced as he returned the kiss and she felt drunk on his taste. She opened her mouth and enticed him to do the same. The kiss deepened, and she pulled him closer. She couldn’t believe how good he tasted. It’s all yours, she heard a little voice say, and a sense of possession washed over her. This amazing smell and delicious taste is all yours! This perfect man is all yours! He’s your mate, the voice told her. Lily froze at the words “her mate.”Her mate? Her mate! Lily’s anger rose as she realized the fact that it was the beast telling her these things and making her kiss him! Lily pushed the beast back down deep inside her as quickly as she could, then reached up and grabbed James’ hair. She pulled his hair and pulled him backwards, breaking their kiss. “God damn you two,” Lily cursed. She stood up and chastised the animal within her.

The next morning, James sat at the long wooden table in the Roberts’s home, absorbed in eating the wonderful breakfast Sandy had given him. So much so he didn’t even notice Tony come into the kitchen. Tony slapped him on the shoulder, causing James to jump, and Tony laughed. “That was awesome. The first time I got the jump on you, literally speaking too,” he teased, and James got a sour look on his face.“Funny, very funny. Did you want to say something before I kick your ass or should I just get started now?” James threatened good-naturedly.“You’re not going to kick my ass. I’m the future alpha and my ass is un-kickable. To answer your question yes, I wanted to say something. Dad is holding a meeting at the meeting hall, of all places, so it must be something important. We’ve got to get going if we&r

“I warned the alpha not to take her in,” Hunter started and James wanted to tell the man to shut the hell up, but he kept quiet. “But of course, my brother is a charitable soul and didn’t think she was anything like her parents,” Hunter went on and James decided to pump him for information instead of pummeling him.“How were her parents, and why did the alpha take her in?” he asked, anger in his voice, but Hunter misunderstood it to be against Lily and not himself.“I know it doesn’t make much sense, does it? Her parents moved to the house next door when she was about four. I was still an enforcer for Andrew at the time. At first they seemed okay, for humans, but it didn’t take long for them to show their true colors. The mother was a complete slut. More than once she tried to get Andrew or I to sleep

Several hours had passed before James could get free of the persistent flattery and blunt insistence from Hunter that he should become an enforcer. It was nearing eleven at night and James hadn’t seen Lily return, but it didn’t surprise him. He figured she climbed through the window to avoid Hunter and probably James, too. James walked up the dark staircase and knocked on her door, just wanting to check on her.He knocked again when she didn’t answer, and when silence was his only greeting, James opened the door, surprised it opened with ease. She always kept it locked. He looked around the empty room. The window was closed and her bed made.It wasn’t until he saw the note on the battered wooden desk that he knew something was wrong. He picked it up and read it even though Andrew’s name was on it. With a growl, he went to find the

“I am sorry Tony, I really am,” Andrew said apologetically. “But this makes her a rogue and there is nothing I can do. The laws stand for everyone. I will repeat, I can’t make exceptions.”“This is wrong dad and you know it! She isn’t going rogue! Lily is doing what has to be done,” Tony shouted at his father. Andrew’s head snapped up, and he gave his son a heated glare.“I decide what has to be done, Tony and no one else! Don’t you forget that, don’t any of you forget that!” Andrew growled at them, using his alpha influence on them. Tony and Chris were silent, but both were giving the alpha icy glare.“If you won’t help her, then I will,” James demanded, and Hunter gave him a look of disgust.

When Greg told Lily that her father refused to follow the trail of Xavier, she was so pissed that she nearly shifted right there. She stomped over to his office and burst in without a second thought or knocking. Andrew looked up from the papers he was reading. “Hey Lily, how are you feeling?” He asked, and her temper flared even more. How dare he even ask such a question?“Why are you being so stupid?” She barked at him and his eyes flashed gold as his face hardened.“Watch that tone of yours, Lily,” he warned her.“No, I will not! Not while you ignore Xavier,” she demanded.Andrew’s face turned angry, and he growled at her. “Lily, it is not your place to question me. You now are a member of this pack and I’m your alpha, you’ll follow my orders no matter what!” Andrew told her with a harsh tone and she could feel him trying to do his alpha thing on her, but even now it didn’t have any effect on her. “I’m doing what I deem best for this pack and, most of all, for you,” he added. Lily s

The room was huge, twice if not three times larger than her room in Andrew’s house. The bed was the showstopper, though; she couldn’t help but smile at the thought of sleeping with the most comfortable king size bed she had ever felt while James got stuck with his little hard lumpy hotel room bed. She snuggled into the bed even more with a content sigh; life at that moment was good.It was late morning when Lily had gotten up, showered, and dressed back into her ratty t-shirt and jeans, but feeling like a new person, she had the best night’s sleep in years! She sat on the bed, crossed legged, and dialed Greg’s number.“Lily, how are things?” Greg asked her once he picked up.“Actually good Greg, it’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do for a person,” s

“Now that we’re all introduced, won’t you please follow me,” The Queen offered, walking down a large hallway. Everyone followed Queen Hazar into a smaller room, larger than any room Andrew had in his house, though.There were bookcases and statues lining the walls with old paintings on the walls. Plush sofas and chairs littered the room with an enormous fireplace that housed an equally large fire on the wall in front of them. Large rugs lay on the floor with intricate designs that almost made Lily regret stepping on them.The snooty boy from earlier rushed up with a tray of extravagant crystal wine glasses filled with a variety of liquids. Everyone took a glass, and the queen turned to Lily. “Do you drink Lily?” She asked and indicated to the glass was full of blood. She wondered how the queen knew her name since it seemed ev
Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -77- Lily
Lily drummed her fingers against the door of the car. They had been driving for an hour and she was bored. Bored and frustrated, she could be doing something so much more important than going to see some referee organization for the supernatural. Dorin turned to the left down a wide little street that went into the woods and after driving ten more minutes, Lily tensed as they come to a large black gate that crossed the street with four bulky men.Dorin got out of the car, speaking to one of them, looking perfectly friendly. She also noticed the dirty looks the men threw her way. She leaned against the headrest and frowned. “My list of fans just keeps growing,” she thought bitterly. The urge to hit something was growing.Dorin returned to the car, and they drove past the gate and she shot the men on her side with nasty looks. She huffed, crossing her
Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -76- James
“You can’t be suggesting what I think you are suggesting, James,” Nick said. “I’ve known her my whole life and I know she would do anything for that boy of hers, anything!”“Yes, that is what I am worried about; a woman loses her mate and nearly her son. If I was her, I would do anything to protect him, anything and everything possible,” He continued and Nick gave him a hard look.“She wouldn’t,” Nick started, but looked towards the closed door with doubt written all over his face.“Two years ago, she lost her mate. Now Xavier kidnapped her, and she is hesitant to enter the forest where we are sure he is! We have explained that he is under significant risk of being turned into a hybrid and she is arguing to wait until the morning to start the se
Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -75- James
“If I lose it like all other hybrids, then the vampires are here to take me out,” Lily explained with a matter-of-fact tone and Nick eyed her with obvious surprise. Nick gave the vampires a polite but cool greeting.“This is Derek, Mike, Chase, and Bonnie. All of them have their children hostage,” Nick stated, then introduced Lily and James to his group. As usual, they all took a step back when they heard James’ names and asked if he was the James Lacrosse.“It’s not fair,” Lily demanded. “How come you get the ‘The James Lacrosse’ treatment and I only get the dirty hybrid? I’m so much cooler than you,” she complained, her hands on her hips.“Because I’ve been around longer, and I’m more badass than you are,” he repl
Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -74- James
James wasn’t sure how long they had stood there holding onto each other, waiting for their racing heartbeats to slow. He nuzzled into Lily’s neck and breathed in her scent, letting it wash over him. This woman and how she made him feel were truly astounding. He thought last time was good, but this had been so much better. “James, let me get up,” she told him, attempting to shrug his arms off of her, but he only pulled her closer.He smiled as she growled with obvious frustration and attempted to pry off his arms. In this little bathroom, there was no Xavier, no vampires, no hybrid business, just them, and he wasn’t ready to let go of that yet. He kissed her neck, ignoring her. “Seriously, James, we have more important things to deal with than your libido,” she snapped at him and he groaned in complaint.“No one wi

One of his hands snuck under her shirt while the other wrapped around her waist. When the kiss ended, Lily felt lightheaded and breathless. James kissed along her jaw until reaching her ear, where he nipped the soft skin of her ear. She bit her lip, trying to suppress a moan that threatened to escape. The last thing he needed was more encouragement, she thought as James slowly trailed searing kisses down her neck.“James,” she said breathlessly, intending to say something more, but she forgot what she was going to say. He growled against her neck, making her shiver.“I love the way you say my name,” he told her huskily as he pushed up her shirt, removing it. He tossed it aside and continued to lay ardent kisses where he left off. James nipped the bite mark on her shoulder and she gasped at the immense pleasure it caused. Her body quickly heated, and the beast h

The alpha gave her a pointed look, and Lily sighed. “Okay, okay.” She felt glad to talk to someone about it, even if it was Alpha Nosey. “Soon after I changed to this, the local vampire king said if I made any mistakes and lost control, he would issue my extermination, which obviously had me feeling like crap. James showed up in my moment of weakness, saying just the things I needed to hear and, well, one thing led to another,” she explained.“He thinks it meant something more than what it was; a bite mark doesn’t make me his mate no matter what he says. Especially when, in all honestly, if any man showed up saying those things, I would have done the same,” she finished, feeling a little slutty.“Actually, bite mark is the mark of a mate,” Nick told her.“I
Therianthrope: A New Kind of Curse -71 Lily
Nick started to answer James, but Lily cut him off. She was going to extract some payback.“He found me in the woods,” Lily told him with a nasty smile and gave James a pointed look, making James growl even louder. “It was really fun. He amazed me by the things he could do to me,” she shot, noticing Nick was giving her a confused look.“Stay away from her, she’s mine!” James growled at Nick, who started growling back at him.“Are you sure because she told me she didn’t have a mate,” Nick growled back and James started towards him.“Oh God, this is so easy it’s not even any fun,” Lily complained as she stepped between the two. “You seriously need to learn how to detect sarcasm and learn what play on words is James,” she told James as she rolled her eyes.
