“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

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

“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

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

Lily changed out of her work clothes into more comfortable clothing, a t-shirt, and jeans. She ran her hands through her dark hair, just glad to feel it down and loose again after a long day at work. Grabbing her keys, Lily left her apartment and drove to her adoptive parents' house. They invited her to dinner tonight, and for once, school and work didn't stop her from accepting.As she pulled into the long driveway, a feeling of home washed over her. Lily smiled as the large, two-story ranch style house came into view. Andrew, her father, ran quite the profitable Architect company. Lily got out of the car and waved to her brother, Tony, once she parked the car and got out. Her brother was most likely the biggest heartthrob in town. He had the suave movie-star good looks, a muscular build, and an easy smile."How goes the life of busting crime?" He teased while that easy smile made an appearance."Oh you know, a lot of work and long hours," Lily said as she walked up the steps. "We've

"God, Lacy, why do you always fall for the cocky ones," Lily complained. Her tone was a false exasperated disapproval.Lacy smiled impishly. "Men are much more fun that way, and he's like a god under the sheets!" Lacy's expression turned dreamy and dazed off into her fantasies.Lily shuddered with disgust. That was way too much information than she wanted to know about Chris. "Earth to Lacy, earth to Lacy," Lily called to her friend, snapping her fingers in front of Lacy's face.The daydreaming blond blinked a couple of times. "Oh sorry," she apologized with a smile growing on her face.Lily shook her head. She's hopeless! Lily thought with another smile. "What did you want to tell me so badly?"Lacy looked confused for a moment then got all excited. "Oh yeah! You remember that kid that stayed with us for about a year, James Lacrosse?" Lacy asked.Lily thought for a moment then nodded with a slight frown. They had never met face to face, but Lily knew of him very well. James Lacrosse

Lily and Lacy gave him a sheepish apology. Lily handed her sister the journal, and they tried to hide their laughter. The older man just shook his head. "James, as much as I regret the manner in which you have met. This is my adopted daughter, Lily Nawassa," he said. He gave her another disapproving look. "Lily, this is James Lacrosse."James held out his hand, and his large hand swallowed her much smaller one. Like all werewolves, his body temperature ran warm, and she could feel that heat run up her arm. Lily swallowed nervously, her mind going over all the things she heard about him. "Nice to meet you," he said, still giving her odd looks."Same here," she replied, glad she sounded normal. Lily wondered just how much of the twisted tale of James Lacrosse was true."Later we have some matters to discuss with Lily," Andrew told her, and she nodded. Lily knew when Andrew Roberts said the words matters to discuss that meant they were to be discussed privately."Okay, sure thing," she s

"I hope we are wrong about this," the alpha said once the human had left."So do I, but I have a bad feeling," James told him. He leaned back into the comfortable chair. "The deaths of the other two kids. The near-kidnapping of that other one reminds me too much of what happened to me for comfort." Almost twenty years passed, but he could still feel the silver wire wrapped around his neck. The mocking, cruel voices of the humans that tied him down. James clenched his jaw, forcing the memory away."I agree, unfortunately. We have to find this bastard before he ruins another life," Andrew said as he slammed his fist with anger on the desk.James flinched, despite the fact, he was far superior in strength to the alpha. Andrew, like all alphas, had that alpha presence that commanded obedience. In some cases, if an alpha put enough of that presence in his or her voice, he could force his will on others. "I thought about talking to the kid and the friends of the other teens. See if I can ge

"Not that fast Jake!" James told him, holding onto his shirt. "You have to answer my questions before you run and throw up.""How do you know my name?" Jake asked, his voice cracking with fear."Relax kid! I am not going to tear you apart unless you piss me off. I only want you to tell me about what happened a week ago," James replied as he returned his left hand to normal.Jake looked at him confused but nodded. "What do you want to know?" He licked his lips, his whole body tensed to run at any moment."Start off by telling me what happened," James suggested as he leaned against a nearby tree."Well I went out for a run then a bunch of humans came out of nowhere. They tried putting some metal cord around my neck but they missed, and I ran. That's it," Jake explained.James frowned, the similarity to his own kidnapping disturbing. Jake's fear hit him hard, making him wrinkle his nose in disgust. "Where did it happen," he demanded.Jake looked a little paler than before as he swallowed

“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.
