Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 0159

(Lily POV).

Thankfully, my panic attack was short-lived, because Charlotte was oblivious to it. She dragged me over to where Cody Wilson and his friend were sitting. On the way over, she explained that the best wing- women were those already in relationships. All I had to do, she explained, was talk to and distract the

friend; nothing more.

Of course, the glaring hole in Charlotte’s explanation was how I might distract the friend without resorting to flirting, but I ended up not having time to ask. Thanks to Charlotte’s infectious charm, couple of minutes, we were sitting at a table with Cody Wilson and his friend Sergio.

Like Cody, Sergio was a professional hockey player. Whereas Cody played for a team in the United States, Sergio played for a team in Spain. He was just in town with his brother visiting.

The Moon Goddess must have been watching over me, because it turned out that Sergio

io was happily

married. While Cody and Charlotte got to know each other in more ways than one -alternating between

making out at the table and making out on the dance floor-Sergio and I talked about Sergio’s life in

Spain, his wife, and his young daughter. When I pulled out my phone to send a quick text to James,

Sergio did not flinch. Instead, he commented that he makes his wife do the same thing whenever they are apart and she goes out with her friends.

Before I knew it, I found myself peppering Sergio with a variety of questions about his wife and his

marriage. He told me that he has been married to his wife for 5 years, having met her at 18 and married

her at 19. He told me that they married so young in part because neither of their families were stable, and they wanted to give each other the stability that they never had. When I asked whether he ever regretted not giving himself an opportunity to grow up first, he smiled and said he could never regret anything having to do with his wife.

About 45 minutes in, I decided that I was ready to call a taxi and call it a night. Sadly, that is when sh&t really started to hit the fan.

SURPRISE #3: BREAKING A HUMAN’S ARM

I excused myself to go I

to them: Once done, I started to head back to the table where Sergio, Cody, and Charlotte had been sitting so that I could order a taxi and say good-bye.

Unfortunately, that is when a large human male cornered me in the hallway.

“Hey, Daisy Baby,” he slurred. “I did not know you were coming to Arkansas. I thought you were still in Spain.”

“Wrong person,” I responded as I tried to continue past him.

He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the wall. “No, not the wrong person. You remember me, don’t you, Daisy Baby?”

I pushed him back. “No, I do not remember you. You have the wrong person. Now if you will excuse me

He leaned forward and tried to put his head in the nape of my neck, stopping only when I put my hand up. I could smell the heavy scent of alcohol on his breath. I started wondering why I had agreed to go out with Charlotte tonight; drunk humans were disgusting.

“Daisy Baby, you smell even better than you did the last time I saw you. You probably just forgot me because you spent more time looking at my di ck than my face. Perhaps if I show you…
