Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 0122

But…when I heard Margie’s screeching voice demanding to know what we were doing… I knew that this was the beginning of the ultimate test. Would James have the strength and ability to make things right, or were we headed for war?

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL DOING????!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?”

I turned around with one of Stephanie’s many pictures in my hand. Joey quickly came and stood between myself and Margie. “We are just following orders, Ma’am,”

he said. “ORDERS FROM WHO?”

she screeched. “Orders from me,”

James replied calmly, coming out of the hallway from his bedroom. “What is wrong with you, James?

How could you remove these things?

HOW DARE YOU remove these things.”

t “Do not consider this removal. Consider this.. early spring cleaning.”

“I have omegas come and dust all of these pictures twice per day. Nothing should need to be cleaned,”

Margle replied, clearly missing James’ point. “It is time to put them away, Margie. You are welcome to keep Stephanie’s pictures and mementos up in your own suite. I will even allow you to keep some of the pictures and mementos in the main packhouse. However, at this point, it is time for Stephanie to leave the alpha suite.”

“Who do you think you are to make orders about what will or will not be allowed in the packhouse or inside the alpha suite?”

a deep voice bellowed as Alpha Randall walked into the room, followed by Luna Jane and Sheila. The weight of Alpha Randall’s alpha aura was heavy, and I burled my face in Joey’s back. “Should we leave?”

I mind-linked my mate. “Not a chance,”

he responded, “We stay right here.”

Although not relevant to the immediate crisis, I have to tell you: ever since Joey joined our movement’s efforts, he has been impressing me with how hard he has been working, how much courage he has been showing, and how creative he is in solving problems. Joey has always had a reputation for being a lazy, reputation is just an act. I mean, I always knew he had more potential than he showed, but he has proven the last few months how great he can be when he applies himself. If we were not in alpha suite watching a stand-off between the ranked wolves, I might actually be turned on. Anyway, back to that stand-off… “You want to know who I think I am?

I think I am the only wolf in this room-except maybe Joey and Jessica here- who have any sense left,”

James replied to his father. “Do you really think I am going to sit here and let you talk to me like this?

In my own home?
