Chapter 0193
I am going to kill him,” I mind-linked James.
“Not if I do so first.”
I took a deep breath. I was incredibly angry at Derek right now, but I also found myself getting strangely turned on by how James was responding to the situation. Her
we were with one of his celebrity idols,
and yet James was no more willing to put up with Derek’s behavior than I was.
“Please… we have to change the subject,” I asked.
“So… what is your book about?” James questioned.
Suddenly, the look on Derek’s face changed. There was now something slightly creepy about it.
“The book is about a female without a wolf who tries to steal her sister’s mate after her sister is attacked
by rogues,” he explained seriously.
I gulped hard. “Oh, a romance book? I would not peg you for the romantic type.”
“No. Horror.”
I gulped again. “Will it all turn out okay in the end? Happy ending?” I asked hesitantly.
“Well, the wolfless sister is killed and the other sister gets her mate back, so yeah. Happy ending. But not
for everyone.”
I was now no longer willing to ignore how uncomfortable I felt. I stood up, as did James.
“You know what? I just remembered that I left something at the stadium that I need tonight. It is nice to
meet you again, Derek.”
“You have not finished your dinner,” Derek protested.
“That is okay. I am not that hungry anyway.”
James threw some cash on the table. “Charlotte, would you like to come with us?” he asked her.
“Yes, would you?”
Derek put his arm around Charlotte’s chair, and I watched as she melted by the gesture. Charlotte looked at Derek with goo-goo eyes and then looked back at me. “No, I would like to stay here with Derek for a
little while longer.”
Derek gave me a half-smile. “Do not worry about your friend, Lillian. She will be fine.”
“I do not want to leave her, James,” I linked.
“I do not either, but we cannot carry her out of here against her will.”
I sighed. “Charlotte, will you please call me when you get home? I will be waiting for your call. Do not
forget, okay?”
