Joey with a silver whip. Joey was unconscious and Rose and were worried that he did not have much time left.
When he saw me, Joey’s dad tried to go after me too, but I shoved him back hard, with all my strength. I told him to never touch Joey again. I also told him to stop pressuring Joey to leave Jessica. I then gave him my necklace, which I assumed he could sell to get enough money for the back due mortgage payments.”
“The one with the diamond pendant? That your father gave you?”
*You remember it?”
James looked at me sadly. “Your dad gave it to you on your 13th birthday. I remember you proud of that necklace, just like you were of every gift your dad gave you.”

“I was. And that one ended up being the last gift that my dad ever gave me. When I gave it to Joey’s dad,
I told him that in exchange for me giving it to him, I expected him to forget who I was and where he got the necklace.”
I wiped a couple of tears away from my eyes. I really had loved my father. I still loved him. I wish I
I I understood why things had to go so very wrong.
“Anyway,”
I continued, “after his dad left the room, I checked on Joey. I was scared that he was not going. to make it. There was so much blood, and I could not get Joey to wake up when I shook him. I pleaded with Rose, asking her to come up with an idea to save him. At that point, she had me shift into her form. She then used her tongue to lick Joey’s wounds, which made the wounds immediately heal. We shifted
“Wow,”
James said.
“I remember being so scared that Joey’s dad was going to hurt Joey again or say something to someone about how I intervened, but… he never did.”
“You used your alpha command on him,”
Rose linked me.
“I did what?”
“It wasn’t at full force yet, but it was enough to get the job done. Your emotions were super intense that night,”
Rose explained.
James raised an eyebrow at me. “Rose have input?”
I nodded. “She says that Joey’s dad never said anything because I used my alpha command on him.
unknowingly.”
“Does she know how Jessica found out about it and you?”
James asked.
“She was hiding under the couch,”
Rose linked.
“WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She was there and you didn’t tell me? Why didn’t you make me tell her to stay quiet too?”
Rose sighed. “I trusted Jessica, and I could smell her intense guilt and her intense fear. I knew it would take her time before she would be willing to talk to anyone about what happened. I did not know it would take her YEARS, but I knew we did not have to worry about her.”
I looked up at James with wide eyes. “Jessica was under the couch. I had no idea. Rose never told me.”
James climbed on top of me. “You, Lily Brogan, are the most amazing she-wolf that I have ever met,”
he said seriously.
With that, he kissed me. And then he began kissing my neck. When his lips reached my mark, I moaned.
“Are you sure you aren’t going to stop this time?”
I teased him. “You don’t have any more dying.
questions?”
He gently pulled my nightgown up over my head. “Nope.”
“How do you know I’m still interested?”
“As if you could resist me,”
he said with a smile. “Your sex drive is almost higher than mine.”
Ast his hands found their way to my breasts, I pushed his pajama pants down and arched my back.
(James POV)
It was finally show time. Again.
Was I nervous? I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t… especially after what happened last time.
However, things were different than before. The last time that we were on the cusp of taking over the pack, I knew that I loved Lily, but I did not know where I stood with her. In contrast, this time, I know Lily’s heart. I wear her mark and she wears mine.
Just as importantly, this time is different because Lily and I will be taking over the pack together, while standing side by side. We also have more tools and the blessing of the Moon Goddess.
Things could still go wrong, but I am more confident than ever.
Just as the car pulled up to take us to West Mountain Pack, Lily stepped out of the bathroom.
“Holy sh&t,”
I exclaimed.
“Do I look okay?”
she asked me, as she did a small twirl. “I was going for party professional but serious.”
She was wearing a sleeveless black and gray business dress. It was conservative in the sense that it almost reached her knees, but it hugged her curves perfectly, and its v-neckline exposed more than a hint of her ample cleavage. She paired the dress with black high heels and a pendant necklace that fell directly in the middle of her perfect breasts.
“Lily, you are killing me,”
I responded.
She looked at me in confusion, and then looked down at herself. “What’s wrong with it?”
I walked over to her and pulled her close to me. I then took her hand and placed it on the tent that had formed in my pants.
“This. This is what is wrong with the dress. How am I going to be able to concentrate while you are wearing this?”
Lily rolled her eyes and giggled. “I am pretty sure that I could be wearing a garbage bag and there would be a tent in your pants.”
“Maybe… ok, probably… but seriously, sweetheart. You look… wow.”
Lily blushed at my compliment. Goddess, how I love when she does that. “Thank you, James. You look handsome yourself. Are you ready to go?”
“With a tent in my pants?”
“I would offer to help you with that, but they are waiting for us downstairs.”
I squeezed her butt and kissed her. “Fine. Give me a second to ice my balls and then we can go.”
Lily laughed again, clearly feeling exactly zero sympathy for me..
Joey and Nick ensured that we got through border security without any issues. Once through security, Lily and I easily made our way to Joey’s house with a few trusted guards from Brady’s pack. I did not think that we needed guards, but Dr. Hyder had insisted.
After I knocked on Joey’s front door, Joey quickly opened it and ushered us inside.
