Anya POV            Having arrived in time to hear the exchange between Alpha James and Luna Jade with Jared and Lily, I couldn’t be happier.  I knew my rightful place was beside Jared and whatever doubt we could instill in Lily’s mind the better.  I had already spoke with Jared’s parents and we had come up with a plan to get rid of Lily one way or another.            As I help her up, I can’t help but taunt her and whisper in her ear, “You haven’t won yet.”.  Seeing her cringe and anger cross her face, I laugh as I move toward Jared’s office.  I don’t wait to see what she does continuing to move forward.            As I round the door to Jared’s office, I move in with a sad smile.  Looking up expecting Lily, I se

Jared POV             As Rick and I walk into the Shadow Club we look around at the extensive renovations that had taken place in recent months.  We were almost ready to reopen under new management and with a new look.  As with most clubs on Pack land, we do have humans who visit our clubs.  There is an obvious rule we don’t discuss who we are.  We can mingle and there are times when our wolves may have a human mate.  Depending on the Pack that can either go well or be challenging.  Not all Packs accept human mates within their circle.  We are an open Pack and have a few couples where one is a wolf, and one is human.  There is also an assumption that the humans are females but, in our case, there are two human males in our Pack.  The all contribute and work in their areas of expertise.             As we are sitting

Lily POV             Holding my head, I am screaming in pain.  Jared is yelling for the medical staff; Doctor Kent comes running into the room.  “What is it, Lily? What’s happening?” he asks.  “So much pressure, like my head is going to explode,” I say.  I can barely catch my breath from the pain coming from my head.             As Kent examines me, he first administers a pain killer to numb the pain.  It takes some of the pressure I feel off me, but the pain is still there.  Breathing a bit easier, I feel sweat dripping down my head.  Jared grabs a cloth to wipe my face, as Kent considers the possibilities.             “I’m concerned that we may need to go back in and relieve some pressure on your brain, Lily,” he tells us.  “No, I don’t want to sleep for a

Lily POV             Hugging Jared tight, I still desperately need a shower.  As I step back, I start removing my clothes.  I had lost a few pounds in the hospital this past week, and I was feeling a little less sexy as a result.  The look on Jared’s face assured me I was still sexy.  I giggled as I removed my bra and he reaches to touch my breasts.              Stepping back, I tease, “Not so fast mister, I want to see all of you.”.  Not needing anymore encouragement, Jared removes his clothes off faster than I could remove mine.  Kicking our clothes out of the way, Jared moves forward toward me pulling me into his arms, “I was so scared for you Lily,” he admits quietly.  Hugging him tighter, “I’m on the mend now Jared,” I say.  “I know you are Lily; I know.  I just want all your memories back, so you

Lily POV             It’s been a few days since we had seen Jared’s mom.  His dad had reached out to him as well trying to talk but Jared refused to talk to either of them.  I didn’t want to come between him and his parents, but he assured me I was not.  They had gone too far, and he didn’t know what to believe about them anymore.             Jared had been acting funny the past week, it seemed every time I entered a room whomever he was talking to he would stop talking.  I didn’t know what was going on, but I felt like he was working on some kind of surprise for me.  I was not sure what it could be but I do love a surprise so I was getting excited trying to imagine what it could be.             Jared and I continued to get closer, which has been amazing.  I still can
