Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 224

Chapter 0224

Come to think of it, perhaps Brady really was the right one for her. Somehow, knowing both of them, the thought of them together almost made sense.

Just then, Charlotte took a sip of her beer and immediately spit it out.

“Goddess, I hate beer. That was a bad idea. Come on, Lily. We need to find some pizza instead.”

(James POV)

We made it back to Black Moon without anyone dying.

You may be wondering how the flight went. I encourage you to re-read my last sentence: We made it back to Black Moon without anyone dying. That is about the best thing I can say about that experience.

Instead of applying for membership in the mile-high club with me, Lily spent most of the flight either asleep or sitting next to Charlotte at the front of the plane. That left me to sit in the middle of the plane with Brady.

We were adults, and so sitting within shouting distance of each other on the same plane should have

been fine. Except, of course, it was not.

Instead of listening to music, watching a movie, reading a book, playing on his phone, or doing something -anything- to kill the time, Brady decided to make a show of things. He alternated between staring at

Lily and Charlotte, and glaring at me.

At one point, tired of dealing with the staring and the glaring, I decided to be the bigger male and try to

break the ice. Specifically, I tried asking Brady a series of neutral questions about the weather, sports,

traveling, and even his pack. Each and every question was met with a frosty, one-word answer. That is,

until Brady exploded.

“Cut the cr ap, James.”

“Just trying to be friendly.”

“I am not your friend.”

“Clearly.”

“Can’t you just be satisfied that you won? Why do you have to sit here and gloat?”

“I did not win, Brady. Lily is my mate. Not some toy to be won or lost. And contrary to whatever screw is

stare wistfully at Lily.”

“I have not been staring at Lily.”
