“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

“Well, I am going to find me something to eat,” Lily announced and the male vampire gave her a hard look. “If you as much as hint about my weight or the way I eat. I swear I’ll find the biggest appliance around and crush you with it,” she threatened, and the vampire laughed.“Dude, are you as confused as I am?” Chris asked him in a whisper. “I thought we were supposed to protect her from them,” he added, and James shrugged, feeling as confused as he was.“I don’t need you two for protection,” Lily told them, then turned back to the vampires. “How about you two do your thing too before we leave? I don’t want to be sitting in the car for an hour again,” she told them. “And keep her with you and away from me,” she added, stalking off towards a small dinner. James

They drove all night until the sun rose once more. “Why don’t we share a room,” Bianca suggested to him, fully fanged. James took a small step backward, and to his surprise and relief, Lily stepped forward, giving Bianca a pointed look.“Bianca, it’s rude to feed off of your friends. Find your fix somewhere else,” she told the vampire, who pouted with disappointment.“Oh, I suppose you are correct, Lily. How about you join me?” She asked.“Bianca, what did I tell you?” the other vampire warned, and she pouted even more.“But it’s no fun by myself! We’ll be more careful this time,” she pleaded. This time? What the hell she meant by this time? James wondered, noticing Lily was looking guilt

Lily sat in the chair chewing her thumbnail and her leg bouncing nervously. James had gone to talk to Chris. Why did Xavier take Lacy? She wondered if Xavier had struck out, angry that they were going after him. With a growl of frustration, she ran her hands through her dark hair. The only thing she wanted to do was stop people from getting hurt, but it no matter what she did, that was what happened.First, Greg gets kidnapped and changed because of her stubbornness. James got caught in a silver net and suffered horrible burns because she was too stupid to look at things as they were. She got Kyle killed because she didn’t listen. The guy the other night nearly died because she wasn’t strong enough, and now Lacy was gone because she insisted on acting.Her phone rang, and she picked up the phone without looking at the number. “What’s the

“What opportunity?” Lily asked, confused, earning another slap. Her vision blurred, and she shook her head as Lacy barked out another bitter laugh.“God, you’re so damn stupid, I don’t see what anyone ever saw in you! Did you ever stop to wonder why Xavier could kidnap James, you, and Greg, but some omega teen wolf escaped or how he could change you into a hybrid but ‘accidentally’ killed two teens with some pills?” Lacy asked.Lily’s head shot up and looked at the blonde in horror. “You mean?” Lily started, but couldn’t bring herself to finish it.“Yes, it all was a setup to get James to come back to Xavier and to me! I was supposed to be the one Xavier changed, not you! He promised! Xavier promised he would change me, but you had to come

“Please,” Lacy squeaked. “Please don’t drain me!” She sobbed.“Seriously, you don’t know me at all,” she spat at Lacy. “Or you would know I would never attack anyone like that, especially you. I thought we were friends, more than that I thought we were sisters,” Lily told her. “Why couldn’t you just have talked to me, Lacy? Why would you rather destroy me than talk to me,” Lily pleaded, traitorous tears falling down her face.Lacy’s face softened a little, but hardened. “Because you don’t care about anyone but yourself Lily, it’s always about you. Poor little Lily: mistreated and abandoned! Our own little Oliver Twist! You’ve got everyone falling for you! Kyle wanted you! Xavier couldn’t stop talking about how perfect you are and how if he ever had

A little disappointed that Lily still didn’t want to be intimate with him, James buried his face in her hair, breathing in her scent and feeling his muscles relax almost instantly. His life had changed completely since that night in the woods, and now he couldn’t imagine life without her. He no longer suffered nightmares about his time with Xavier. When he was with her, a calmness and relaxation came over him he’d never known in his life.Even the beast was content and at peace when Lily was around, so much so that James almost felt like a normal werewolf. She was the type of woman James always wanted in his life. Lily was as passionate about life as she was about making love. She was feisty and witty, always keeping him on his toes. Lily was incredible in her manner to continue being an overall good person, a person who knew how to smile and enjoy life, no matter what life threw at her.

Lacy tried several times to draw his attention or tried to argue with him about being his mate, but he only ignored her until the vampires and Chris returned to the room. Bianca plopped down on one bed. “So what’s the game plan, boys?” She asked, patting the bed for Chris to sit with her. His gaze passed over the redhead and Lacy several times, then sat down beside the vampire.“I say we kill her,” Dorin stated, “but not before we give her the same kindness she gave the hybrid!” Chris paled, looking upset, but said nothing, and Lacy scoffed with a look of disbelief on her face.“If we did that, we’d be no better off than she is. I say we take her to her father,” James suggested, and Lacy rolled her eyes with a look of disgust.“I know you boys aren&rs

“You got the mess cleaned up? The last thing we need is the maid finding the body,” Dorin asked with a flat tone.“For the most part, I cleaned up the blood, but sexy here wouldn’t let me dispose of the body. So it’s wrapped in the shower curtain in the bathroom,” Bianca replied, as if it wasn’t the first body she had to dispose of.“You can’t just dump her in a ditch,” Chris snapped at them. “Tell them, James! They can’t just toss her away like a piece of trash,” he demanded.“Why not?” Dorin asked, looking curious. “That’s what she would have done to you,” he added, and Chris growled at him.“That doesn’t matter, Dorin,” James jumped in. “

“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
