More coming later this morning.
(Stephanie POV) As James continues to approach, my heart beats faster and faster in my chest. James is wearing a dark gray suit with a black button-up shirt and a black and silver tie. Antonio taught me a lot about suits over the past few years, and James’ suit is obviously custom and expensive. He exudes power and authority. Just as importantly, James looks incredibly hot in it. I mean, James was always good-looking, but this older version of James is just… wow. Greek gods have nothing on this version of James. Had I known that James would grow into this, I never would have left. Hell, at this point, I don’t even want a threesome anymore. If James can f&&k as well as it looks like he can, I will not need anyone else. Suddenly I feel like forgiving Sheila for sleeping with him; if Sheila’s mate looked like this, I would not have been able to resist him either. As James gets closer, I am surprised that I do not smell anything unusual, but I tell myself that it is probably just bec
“Do not take another step forward until I tell you to,” James says in an eerie voice. My feet freeze in place. I try desperately to move them, but I cannot. This time it is not shock stopping me; it is something else. Has James been made alpha already? If so, why did no one tell me? “Understand this, Stephanie. Even if our parents had been right about us, EVEN IF you were my fated mate, I would not want you. After all that you have done, after all the wolves that you have hurt, you do not deserve to be mated to a ranked wolf, and you certainly do not deserve to be luna of this pack. You will, however, be getting your just rewards soon.” With that, James turns around and continues to lead Lily to the stage. I feel like I have been slapped hard. I look around and notice for the first time that everyone in the hall is staring at me. Great, just great. There are almost 500 witnesses to my embarrassment. Where is my mother? Where is Sheila? I turn to walk away. To my reli
I just got an idea for one of the last chapters, and I thought it might be fun to involve the loyal active readers into helping me with it. After all, isn't the interactive part of this app and the ability to sometimes impact the story through comments one of the best features? If you were one of the many victims, what questions would you have for Margie, Stephanie, Luna Jane, or Alpha Randall? What questions do you have generally that have not yet been answered? Comment below and you may be surprised at how your questions/ comments are used tomorrow. (p.s. I know I keep underestimating how much longer this book will take to finish, but we are seriously at the finish line now, and the epilogues are already written.)
(Margie POV) Almost as soon as I told Stephanie not to worry, guards secured silver cuffs to the wrists of everyone sitting in the box. To my horror, that included me. The cuffs were covered in fabric, so they did not burn my skin, but they did prevent my ability to further mind-link. In my head
“We join future luna Lily’s request for an immediate and special council meeting,” Alpha Brett announced. “On what grounds?” Councilmember Steven Herman demanded. “We have two grounds to demand a meeting, Member Herman,” Alpha Aaron responded. “The first is that we have discovered evidence that v
(Margie POV) “You will not be going home,” Lily said matter-of-factly. “Or at least not to the home that you are used to. You will have a new home in the dungeons.” I looked at the council and then Randall in complete annoyance. “Seriously, can someone please get Lily off of this stage? I cann
(James POV) We knew that there was a possibility that Margie and Sheila would turn on one another before the evening was over, but none of us expected it would happen like this or so quickly. Thankfully, though, we were (mostly) prepared. I gave an alpha-order commanding that Margie freeze. Dr
I silently prayed to the Moon Goddess for patience and restraint. I knew that Lily had everything under control, and I knew that she needed to do this on her own, but I wanted to kill Councilmember Brown and every other member of the council that was looking at her disrespectfully right now. Lil
