Chapter 0183
“Lily is gone, Jane. Gone. She is not coming back.”
“We can help James find her, Randall! And we can help him try to repair the relationship between them!”
I pleaded.
“NO!!!!” Randall screamed at me. “Lily is probably out there somewhere dead. You know as well as I do that Margie put a bounty on her head. James already went through the pain of losing Stephanie. It weakened him and his wolf. We will not put James through the agony of searching for Lily, just to be e on.” disappointed or hurt. It is better for him to move
“The trackers never found Lily’s body, Randall. She could still be alive, just like it turns out that Stephanie
“We do not know that they never found her, Jane. I ordered the trackers to never tell us if they did. I did
not want that weight on my conscious.”
I looked at my mate in horror. “What? How could you do that? How could you be so callous? And how can you care so little about our son’s happiness?!!?!!?”
Randall walked away from me and went to the window on the opposite side of the room.
“I care about his happiness, Jane. But I care about mine too. James has never had a relationship with his fated mate. He will not know what he is missing. He will learn to be happy with Stephanie, just like he was happy with her in the past. I, on the other hand, will not be able to move on.”
“What are you saying, Randall?”
“When Margie came to talk to me about Stephanie moving into James’ room, I originally told her no. She tried to guilt me into agreeing, just like she always has. When that did not work, she upped the ante. She told me that if I did not cooperate, she would turn you into the werewolf council for murdering Tyler. Nick made the same threat to James two weeks ago, that is why James agreed to marry Sheila.”
“What?”
“There is no statute of limitations on murdering a pup, even an unborn one. If Margie goes to the
werewolf council, they will be able to force an admission from you. Nick has also agreed to testify that
you confessed to him. If the council finds you guilty of murdering Tyler, they could give you either a life
sentence or the death penalty.”
I felt tears starting to well up in my eyes. “Well, maybe I deserve that.”
Randall whirled around. “NO! I will not lose you, Jane. It will kill me if something happens to you. James
to you, I will not survive it.”
My heart dropped. Fwas willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of my son’s happiness… but was I willing
to sacrifice Randall’s life as well?
“Well, we threaten to go to the werewolf council with all of her sins,” I suggested. “We have been looking. the other way for years. If she wants to play hard ball, we can play hard ball back.”
