-77- Lily
Last Updated:
2024-12-25 16:00:21Lily 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 found her strength wasn’t in firearms or anything that required aiming, as Karya so happily pointed out. She was much better at hand to hand, but after several tips, lectures, and scolding, Lily could now, at least, hit her target. Once it was fully dark, she returned to her room for another shower and a fresh change of clothes. She wore a tight black t-shirt and another pair of black leggings and a pair of boots. She had the weapons Jessie had given her strapped on her legs and waist.“Well, don’t you clean up well,” Crocell said with a smile when Lily joined them in the entranceway and Uriel nodded in agreement. “I hope Jessie could be of some help to you,” the queen told her. Lily thanked her for the help politely and Queen Hazar smiled at her warmly, then turned to Dorin. “Take care, my son; it’s been good to see you after so many years. I am proud to be your maker,” she told him and Lily eyed Dorin with surprise, but he bowed his head ever so slightly and thanked her.“Jessi

“Wow,” James said with a mocked dazed tone as he looked at the woman talking with the alpha.“Damn werewolves,” he heard Lily swear with an irritated tone and tried his best not to smile as he was sure his attempt to make her feel possessive if not a little jealous appeared to work. The woman was attractive, to say the least, but that she looked like she could kill him three times in ten seconds was a major drawback. Besides, whether Lily liked it or not, his attention belonged to her and her alone.By the look on the alpha’s face, Nick didn’t seem to mind that the woman next to him was potentially lethal. He looked ready to lay his life down. James watched as she and the nymph walk over to the woman and the alpha and he allowed himself a victory smile. He watched them talk and noticed there was something different about Lily since her visit with the Aequivalere, and he was sure it was more than her newly acquired arsenal, but he wasn’t sure exactly what it was.Deciding now wasn’t the

Once they reached the silver electrified fence, a forest nymph commanded the trees to uproot themselves and literally tear down the fence. Now they stood on the edges of the woods at the brick wall. They awaited confirmation that all the teams were in place. The beast was raging to be let out, but James kept him under control, preferring to wait until he let the beast free. Lily opened and closed her fists with clear nervousness as she kept her eyes on the building before him and James would have given all he had to know what was going on in that head of hers. The crackle of the sheriff’s two-way radio came to life with the announcement that the last team was in place. He looked over to Lily, who nodded then to James. James gave a similar nod and Nick order for everyone to start the attack. Lily and a few of the others charged the large black metal gate while the alpha and two other werewolves shot at the guards. Once they passed the gate, James would allow the beast to take over. He

The beast took another step towards the alpha, extending his clawed fingers menacingly, not taking his golden eyes off of the werewolf before him. The alpha returned his powerful gaze with no apparent sign of fear. “I’m the alpha beast,” Nick started saying the words slowly and clearly, each word filled with authority. “You will do as I say and I say you back down now,” he ordered. The beast stood before him snarling, examining the alpha, looking for any hint of fear or uncertainty.The Alpha returned his growl, and the beast saw nothing but powerful authority coming from him, so he did as the werewolf told him and he backed off. “Good, now take these,” he said, tossing a small cloth bag at him. “Go around the corner and shift back to James. Your help is no longer needed, Beast,” he demanded. The beast growled at him again, not wanting to leave. He wanted to kill more people, but the alpha threw his influence over him, and the beast begrudgingly did as he was told.James breathed a si

Lily tensed as they came to a long corridor that ended with a large metal door with some kind of number pad to the right of it. Lily took out the piece of paper Jessie had given her and unfolded it. On it was elegant handwriting.You’ll find Xavier at the end of an extensive hall with a door locked by keypad combination. The code is 5711. Remember, you must confront him by yourself; no one else must come with you.Good Luck Lily,Queen HazarWith a quiet sigh, she walked up to the door, hitting the numbers the Queen had written, and the door slid open. “How the hell did you know the combination?” Nick demanded, looking at her suspiciously.“A little bird told me,” she stated after she shrugged.

Xavier’s arrogant expression told Lily he knew exactly what was going on in her head. What the hell am I doing? She scolded herself. “Screw yourself, Xavier, I will never help you. Not even with the bribe of getting rid of James,” she snapped at him.His face twisted into a furious rage. “Foolish woman, I don’t need to get your blood from you alive,” Xavier screamed at her, and one of the black metal doors opened. An enormous creature slowly entered the room; to say it was hideous was an understatement. It looked similar to James’ beast, but there were bald spots on him everywhere. Fur covered one arm and clawed while the other was smooth and more humanlike.“This is one of my many attempts to recreate what you are. As you can see, he is a clear failure, but he does serve for other purposes. He has proven to be qu

James had to see Lily. He followed her scent when Tony blocked his search. “Hey Tony, how’s it going?” He asked out of politeness alone, at the moment he couldn’t care.“Well, it’s been interesting,” Tony said with a half-smile and James stopped and looked at his friend, confused.“Interesting?” James asked, not sure what he meant by that.“Yep, Lily hasn’t been here for but a few hours and she’s already pissed most everyone off,” he said and it surprised James to feel a smile cross his lips.“What she did she do this time?” He asked, amused and happy to see that at least some things stayed the same, but another flash of surprise hit him when Tony looked a little uncomfortable.“Well, I can’t go in to great detail, but let’s just say she’s been keeping something to herself she shouldn’t have been,” Tony said and James’s smile died. Dread filled him, as all he could think of was that she had indeed replaced him with another man.“You’ve got to tell me, Tony, is she…with someone else? I

“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.

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.
