In the Shadow of the Past Luna (Lily & James)

Which island are you flying into?” Me: Jessica: “Baby, I really dunno.” [exacerbated emoji] “Babe, I love you… but what kind of security guard are you if you don’t even know where you are going?!?!?!” Me: “I deserved that.” I did. I have never claimed to be the best security guard out there. Even I…

I watch as Lily’s face drops at the mention of her former mate. (Lily POV) “I got another call phone call from James Anderson.” Oh. Wow. That was not what I was expecting this meeting to be about. Of all the possibilities that I considered, I never thought that that would be it. I thought…

“Who is Evelyn?” I ask. They both ignore me. Dr. Hyder stands up and puts his hands on the desk angrily. “You were raised to respect the mate bond. You were taught that females are to be valued and respected. You had no excuse for your behavior. You! knew better.” Brady lets go of my…

(Lily POV) “Brady, you cannot be serious! Do you really want me to meet with James?!?!” “I do not WANT you to meet with James, Lily. But… I think that you should.” “Why? What possible reason could there be for me to meet with him? That chapter of my life is closed. I do not…

Father’s me ntal state, the smart move would have been for me to calmly walk in and try to explain to him what had happened last night. Unfortunately, since Stephanie died, I have rarely been that smart when it comes to dealing with my father. Instead of playing nice, I walked into the office without…

My mother wiped a few tears away. “I am implying that because I did do something awful and I will regret what I did for the rest of my life.” It was horrible and “What… what did you do?” I asked. “Tyler… Tyler was the name of Robert and Margie’s first son.” Trigger Warning: This…

-and therefore me- really went. Was Margie the one that Dr. Hyder was warning me about? Had Margie been manipulating things behind the scenes? I dismissed the thought almost as soon as I had it. Questions about how much of my life Margie may have manipulated… especially with respect to my life with Stephanie.. were…

He chuckled and held out his hand. “Come on, my lady. We have a party to get you to.” (Luna Jane POV) My heart stopped when James asked about Lily’s birthday. I was honestly relieved when Nick could not remember. In fact, I had to stop myself from reaching out and hugging him. But then,…
