Filed To Story: In the Shadow of the Past Luna (Lily & James)
I was not sure what to do with this version of my father; I almost preferred the a&&hole bully version he was 99.9% of the time.
I suddenly grabbed the corner of my desk and tossed it upside down in anger.
“JAMES DOES NOT DESERVE HER!”
I screamed.
My father did not say anything.
“She is not safe with him, Father,”
I growled in a calmer but still very angry tone. “If he loved her, he would think about her safety first. Not run his mouth to his cousin about the enemies being out to get her.”
“Brady, I do not believe that James had anything to do with that leak. In fact, I have a plan to ferret out the culprit. But I need your blessing before I do it.”
There it was again. That sympathetic tone. And when had my father ever asked my blessing to do anything? Ever?
I kicked the desk. “You know what, Father? F&&k you. Do whatever you want. You have my blessing. In fact, you can have the pack too.”
I headed towards the door..
“Where are you going, Son?”
“Where I should have gone three days ago. To get Lily, and to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life.”
My father sighed. “If you go, you may get yourself hurt, Son.”
I spun around and looked at my father in shock. “Did you hit your head?”
My father said nothing.
“You sat in the guest chair. You have tolerated me yelling at and questioning you. I even cursed at you. You asked for my blessing to execute some st upid plan. And now you are going to let me go to Lily?”
“I do not want you to go. I am worried about Lily. But I am also worried about you, Son.”
“Where was this worry three hours ago when we were fighting about Evelyn?”
“The chocolate results were not back yet.”
“So?”
“So I did not know for sure just how serious things were. Once I found out what was in the chocolate, I knew that you would want to go to Ravenswood.”
“And?”
“And believe it or not, Son, I love you. You are my flesh and blood. I do not want you to get hurt. I know how destroyed you were after everything happened with Evelyn. I do not want to see that happen to you. again with Lily. But if you need to go and see for yourself that she is better off with her mate, I will not.
stop you.”
“I LOVE LILY!”
My father frowned. “Exactly. But she is not your mate.”
I punched a hole in the wall. “Is it that you do not think I am good enough for her? That you think that a&&
hole James is better?”
“No. I think that James is her mate, and I believe in the will of the Moon Goddess. You will make a fine mate one day to another she-wolf. But you need to wait for your second chance.”
[
“Not everyone gets a second chance mate.”
“But you will.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Father’s intuition. And the fact that you are a special wolf too. Your destiny depends on you finding and marking another mate.”
“It has been several years, Father. If I have not met my second chance mate yet, I am unlikely to find one.”
“Or you just have not been ready.”
.
“I want Lily. I love Lily.”
“She is not yours.”
I glared at my father. “We will see about that.”
With that, I left. It was time to go to Ravenswood and get Lily back.
(James POV)
The past three days with Lily have been intense. You have heard about the alpha sex drive, but I now confirm that the luna sex drive is just as high. Every time I wonder if Lily might be getting too sore or tired to go another round, she initiates that next round.
I have started to worry if I can keep up with her. Ok, not really. I am doing just fine. But seriously… my sweet, innocent, virginal mate is nothing short of a minx and a sex goddess.
You might think that sex between two virgins would be pretty dull, but there has been nothing dull about it. Thanks to our wolves, the internet, and our own instincts, we have managed to experiment with a lot of different positions, and we are slowly figuring out what we like. Which, honestly, is almost everything.
Hence the reason that we have barely left the bed.
Well, I take that back. We have left the bed quite a bit. We have discovered that we both really like shower sex. In fact, getting a blow job in the shower has to be one of my top five favorite things that we have tried.
Sex in the kitchen has also been fun. And there is something s**y and animalistic about taking Lily from behind while she is bent over the arm of the couch. We have also both enjoyed hallway sex, when I have held her against the wall and pounded into her while she has her legs wrapped around me. 1
If this is what they call the “honeymoon period,”
I hope it never ends. Lily feels the same way. That is why we keep delaying marking each other, which is driving both of our wolves insane. But Lily and I continue to talk about it, and both of us have this strong sense that once we mark each other, we will need to go back home to West Mountain Pack.
We both want to, and we both know that we need to, but the temptation of having just one more morning together… one more afternoon together… one more day together…. it is hard for us to pass up.
Our wolves keep screaming at us that the sparks will be even more intense once we are marked. They want us to mark so that we can keep Lily safe, so that they can communicate with each other more easily, and so that our souls can be forever linked.
And we will. Soon.
But as long as things are holding okay at the pack-I do check in with Joey every day, and I have heard about the latest and unexpected addition to the Movement (Nick)- I want to enjoy my time with Lily just a little bit longer.
“You know, you can take Lily on a honeymoon after we take over the pack,”
Luke links me.
“Yes, but there will be a lot of work that we will have to do first. It could be six months before we have time to get away. Maybe longer.”
“Grrrrrrrrrrrr,”
Luke complains as he retreats to the back of my head.
Just then, Lily walks back into the room with a couple bottles of water. She hands me one of them. She then notices the look on my face and smiles.
“Was Luke complaining about the marking?”
I nod.
“Rose was too. Those two are a lot alike.”
Lily then cuddles up next to me on the bed, completely naked -with as much sex as we have been o having, clothes have become pointless- and kisses my neck, right where her mark will go.
“I think we should mark each other tonight,”
she tells me.
I moan. “Tonight?”
