Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 120

Chapter 0120 (Joey POV)

I have been assigned to guard the packhouse ever since we got back from Hawaii. I am grateful for the post, because it gives me a good perspective on what the higher ranked wolves are up to. Unfortunately, I am starting to see things that worry me…. as in, a lot of things. I mind-link my mate. “Babe, something is going on. Something big.”

“What do you mean?”

“Sheila has been prancing around the pack house happy the last few days. HAPPY. Why would she be happy?”

“Have any wolves discovered their mates recently?”

“No.”

“Anyone have surgery lately?”

“Not that I am aware of.”

“Has she been to the care home?”

“No.”

“Anything else out of the ordinary?”

“No, except that Sheila’s mom is spending a lot of time here too. They have also had a tailor here measuring Sheila for a dress of some kind. Oh…. and today they have been looking through bridal magazines with Margie and Jane.”

“WHAT?!”

“Yeah….”

“Oh, Goddess. Joey!

Why didn’t you say that first?!?

They are planning Sheila’s wedding!

We cannot let them force James to marry that b&&ch!!”

“Maybe they plan to marry Sheila off to someone else?”

“Like who?”

“Me?

Aiden?

I don’t know.”

I heard Jessica growl through the link. “Not. Funny.”

“Believe me, Babe, the thought of marrying anyone other than you makes me nauseous. And the thought of marrying Sheila makes me want to…. I will not finish that sentence. But maybe there is another explanation.”

“No, there isn’t.”

I did not reply right away. I knew my mate was probably right. She usually is. Of course they want to marry James off to Sheila. This is what we have been afraid of, and what we have been working to avoid. I rubbed my neck. “Look, Babe. Sheila and James will not get married. We will think of something.”

“Okay. I trust you, Joey. Have there been any sign of James?”
