-51- James
Last Updated:
2024-11-29 16:00:55The 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.

“Why do you want to see King Silvano?” Dorin asked, sounding at least interested in what Lily had to say.“I want to talk about to Xavier Thompson, the one who caused all this,” she started and Dorin nodded. “The alpha won’t do anything and ordered all the other werewolves to do the same, but I can’t drop it. I know I’m strong, but I don’t think I can do this on my own,” she explained.“Do you have a plan or an idea where to start, or are you going to just start walking and hope you bump into him?” Dorin asked with sarcasm dripping from his voice.Lily rolled her eyes at him and gave him a nasty look. “What do I look like, a dumbass?” she shot and Dorin smiled a small smile that seemed to scream “yes.” As he opened his mo

Lily knew the man’s free will was gone, and he was persuaded to let them feed off of him. She knew it was wrong, and she wanted to pull away and tell Bianca so, but she bit down harder into his arm. The taste of the blood was intoxicating, so warm, and so delicious. She wanted more!“Now, now Lily, don’t take too much,” she heard Bianca tell her, but Lily ignored her. She wasn’t ready to stop. She had to have more! Bianca gave her a hard push, but Lily didn’t budge. She pushed the red head away from her as she continued to drink from the man.“What are you doing?” she heard Dorin bark, and he grabbed her hair and jerked her head back. She cried out in surprise and in anger, but something else replaced her anger. A pleasant sensation ran through her body and euphoria filled her, causing goosebumps to break out all

Lily found it odd talking about a person who was born in the eighteenth century as young. She huffed, but turned her attention to the huge old television and waited until six to call Greg and get an updated on the situation. When the hour crawled past, she dialed his number. “Hey Greg, it’s me. So what’s the situation?” she asked once he picked up.“Nothing new from Xavier,” he replied.“How about Andrew and the others? How’d they take my leaving?” She asked, feeling worried.“Things have gone to hell,” he admitted, and she felt a little guilty. “Thanks to your uncle, the alpha has declared you as a rogue,” he told her, and Lily gasped as if someone had smacked her. Even she knew rogue werewolves were something vile and dangerous. How coul

James jumped awake as his phone rang. He ignored Chris laughing at him as he answered the phone. “For being the good guys, you sure don’t act like it,” Greg complained, and James smiled.“Sorry Greg, but I knew you had no intention of helping me once I left. I had to have some backup plan,” James justified. Tony agreed to act as the extra persuasion for Greg to keep informing James of where Lily was.“Well, there is nothing to say. I told her that there was nothing new with Xavier, things here are a mess,” Greg replied, then paused for a moment. “I also let her know you are following her,” he added with a defiant tone that surprised James. He swore silently, knowing that would only make her travel faster.James smiled again, getting an idea. “Greg, you are

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

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

“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

“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

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

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.
