Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 236

Chapter 0236

(James POV)

I took a step back from Andrew.

“It did not have to turn out this way,” I told him sadly.

Andrew glared at me.

“You spent years pretending to be something that you weren’t,” I continued. “You acted like a loving,

devoted husband and father. You acted like someone who really cared about others.”

“I did what I was supposed to do,” Andrew replied coldly.

“No, what you were supposed to do was actually BE the male that you were pretending to be. Imagine

how different your life could have been if only you had tried…. if only you ACTUALLY cared about

someone other than yourself.”

“Would it have gotten me any further?” he asked bitterly.

T

“I don’t know. I would like to think so. But I do know this: if you made different choices, you would be

going home to your mate and family tonight. Instead, you will likely spend the rest of your life in the

dungeons.”

“My choices were taken away from me the moment that the Moon Goddess decided to punish Stephanie.

The Moon Goddess didn’t Stephanie and

ven care how her punishment impacted me. She just punished

Ignored me,” Andrew said angrily. “Now my own cousin is turning his back. I hope you have thought about

how our mothers are going to react when they find out what you have done.”

I ran my hands down my face.

I

“I will deal with our mothers. I have a lot to talk to mine about anyway.”

I

“So that’s it? You are going to just lock me up and walk away? Treat me as though I am nothing?”

“WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?” I roared in frustration. “YOU OFFERED WOLVES HUNDREDS OF

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO KIDNAP MY MATE SO THAT YOU COULD STEAL HER FROM ME! YOU TRIED

TO HAVE HER DRUGGED! AND EVEN AFTER YOU DISCOVERED THAT HER MATE WAS ME, YOU HAD

YOUR OWN STEPSON KIDNAPPED SO THAT YOU COULD ARRANGE FOR LILY TO BE KILLED!!”

Lily stepped forward and put one hand on my arm and the other on my chest. I pulled her closer to me

and kissed her temple.

“Oh, give me a F&&ING break, James! You would have done the same thing if you were in my shoes and

you know it.”

“NO!” I yelled. “I would have been happy for you. I would have congratulated you. I would have thanked

the Goddess that you were the one having to take on the responsibility and not me. AND I SURE AS HELL

WOULD NOT HAVE LET YOU SPEND SIX YEARS MOURNING THE DEATH OF SOMEONE THAT I ALWAYS

KNEW WAS NOT YOUR MATE|||||||”

You are such a liar, James. I knew Big Daddy should have had Lily killed in Ravenswood instead of trying

to abduct her first. If he had, we would be in a very different position right now.”

“Forgive me, Lily,” I said via mind-link. I removed my arm from around her body and punched Andrew

directly in the gut. Twice.
