Chapter 0225
(James POV)
Deciding that I was done with Brady’s bullsh&t, I lunged for him. It was not the fact that he accused me
of sleeping with Stephanie that bothered me. It was the fact that Brady was continuing to mock our
relationship, coupled with the fact that he continued to want to remind Lily about our painful past.
Whether his claims were true did not matter; it was his intent that bothered me.
“STOP IT! BOTH OF YOU!” Lily yelled just before I reached Brady.
I do not know if Lily meant to do so, but she used her alpha command -the same one that she had used
in Hawaii. I felt the weight of it even though it no longer worked on me. The command caught my
attention and brought me back to reality. Instead of giving Brady the punch he deserved, I reached out
and wrapped my arms around my mate.
“I am sorry, my love. He just went a step too far.”
Lily hugged me back. To my relief, she was not angry with me. She was, however, glaring angrily at Brady.
“What is with you, Brady? I do not recognize this version of you,” she said to him.
Brady did not say anything.
“Did you really sleep with Lily’s sister?” Charlotte asked me, trying to make sense of everything she had
heard. “Is that the big, complicated secret between you two?”
“NO!!!” Lily and I exclaimed at the same time.
“Brady does not know what he is talking about,” I added. “Lily is the only female that I have ever been
with sexually.”
Charlotte was taken aback. “Really?”
“Yes.”
“Wow. Wow! That is so sweet! Sq then…. what are the two of you fighting about? Charlotte asked.
I decided to wait for Brady to say something. However, when he continued to stay silent, I realized he was still under the alpha command.
“Lily, you need to release your command so that Brady can respond.”
“Oh. Sorry, Brady, you can talk.”
Charlotte turned to Lily in shock. “Wait, you are not an alpha. How do you have an alpha command?”
“It is a long story,” Lily responded.
“It is a long flight. Tell me.”
“Let’s get the guys settled first, okay?”
Charlotte nodded reluctantly and then looked back at Brady.
“So what were you two fighting about?” she asked again.
“Just debating which one of us was the biggest di ck,” Brady said bitterly, 15
“Not quite, A&&hole,” I retorted.
“What? You think anyone on this airplane actually believes that little ‘virgin’ story you just tried to tell?”
