Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen

Chapter 0107

(Lily POV)

I groaned as I woke up, finding myself laying on something hard instead of the super soft bed that I fell

asleep on. I wondered whether I walked in my sleep, and if so, what I was laying on now. As I started to

wiggle around, trying in my grogginess to figure out what I was laying on before I opened my eyes, I felt

something hard on my thigh. That is when I realized that I was not laying on someTHING, but rather

someONE.

immediately opened my eyes and sat up. Yes, indeed, I was laying half on top of James. Thankfully all

of our clothes were still in place, although that “something hard’ against my thigh was exactly what you

would think it would be given yesterday’s conversation.

James jerked when I sat up, and then he looked at me in surprise.

“Good morning,” he said hesitantly.

“Um, good morning. Why… why are you in my bed?”

He gave me a half-smile. “You are in mine.”

I looked around and realized that he was right. I quickly stood up. “I am so sorry. I do not know how that

happened.”

“Oh, that was me,” Rose confessed.

“Luke says it was Rose,” James stated at the same time.

Sigh. I told you she was a secret ny mph.

“Sorry, Lily, but I wanted to spend time with Luke. You and James have been sucking up all the time with

your human issues, so we had to talk while you were sleeping.

“Did you have to climb on top of him to talk?”

“Easier that way,” she replied in her vixen-like voice. I rolled my eyes.

“Would you like to get breakfast before you leave?” James asked.

“I don’t know. What time is it?”

James grabbed his phone. “Oh, cr ap. I think we missed breakfast.”

“Why? How late is it?”

“11 am.”

My jaw dropped as I started to panic. “What? How did that happen? I normally have a hard time. sleeping, and I never sleep in.”

James looked just as surprised as I felt. “I don’t know. I normally do not sleep in either.”

“What time are you leaving to go back?” he asked.

I felt a small pain in my heart when he referenced me leaving, but I was in a panic, so I ignored it.

“Um, Brady wanted to leave at 10:30.”

“Oh.”

As though Brady was reading my mind, I received a mind-link from him right then.

“Lily. Let’s go.”

I noticed that Brady’s voice was unusually cold, but I assumed it was because I was late. I immediately

mind-linked him back.

“Yes, I am so sorry. I accidentally slept in. I will meet you in the lobby soon.”

I felt Brady cut the link without saying anything else to me.

I looked back at James apologetically. “I have to go. Brady is waiting for me.”

I grabbed my clothes off of the chair and started to head towards the door.

“Lily?”

I turned around.

“How can I reach you in the future?”

I could hear the fear in James’ voice as he asked me that question. I knew he was afraid my response would be similar to the one I gave him the night before. I put my clothes down on the dresser and went

over to him.

I hugged James tightly. “Dr. Hyder should always know where I am and how to reach me. Reach out to him, and he will pass along a message.”

“Will he? Are you sure? Even with… Brady?”

As James asked me that question, I realized that I actually was not sure. Once upon a time, before the

not tell me about the first time James came looking for me, and that since the rejection, he has been keeping secrets from me about the danger that I am in. Even though I trust Dr. Hyder completely even with the secrets, if Dr. Hyder decided talking to James would not be good for me, I could not be sure he

would pass along a message.

“I… I don’t know.”

“Can you tell me where you are staying?”

I was surprised that James had not figured out yet that I had been staying at Brady’s pack, but I also knew. that it was probably for the best that he not know. I looked at him and grimaced. “I am sorry, James, but

I can’t.”

James frowned. “Then promise that you will reach out to me. In three months.”

your!

“Three months? You mean on your birthday?”

At first he smiled, but then he looked guilty. “You remembered… without having to look it up in a file.”

“Yeah… you are the future alpha, after all. It is an important date to know,” I teased, trying to make a joke

out of it. I will contact you on your birthday.”

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

James leaned down and kissed me. I returned the kiss, recognizing that there was a possibility that this

could be the last time that I ever kissed him.

“Lily. It is time to go,” Brady mind-linked.

I pulled away from James. “I really have to go.”

He nodded. I grabbed my clothes off of the dresser and hurried back to my room to pack.

We have now been on Brady’s airplane for four hours. Brady has yet to say more than two words to me

since we left the resort.

At first, I was okay with the quiet, because it gave me some time to think about everything that had

happened while we were in Hawaii. However, I realized after a while that Brady was not just being quiet; something was really bothering him.

I wish I could say I figured that out on my own, but Brady decided to make it obvious. Every time I tried to

from some other spot on the plane. If I was lucky, he also glared at me. »

I was not used to Brady treating me this way, and I absolutely hated it. Rose and I agreed that he needed.

to tell us what was going on and what had upset him so much, whether he wanted to or not.

I got up

from where I have been sitting and sat down next to him on the couch..

“Brady-”

As he had before, Brady got up and started to walk away. This time, he was heading towards the front of

the plane.

“Brady!” I say exasperated.

He stopped, turned part way around, and glared at me. I hated that this somehow felt like progress.

“Brady, please. I know something is wrong. Please tell me what it is. If it is something that I did, I am

really sorry.”

Now Brady turned around, giving me a straight-on view of his eyes. He had so much rage in his eyes that

it scared me a little bit. I barely recognized him. He walked slowly back towards me, like a wolf stalking

its prey.

“Did you sleep with him, Lily?” he asked coldly. 1

“What?!?!”
