Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 238

Chapter 0238

(Brady POV)

It has now been three full days since Charlotte, Lily, James, and I returned to Black Moon. A lot has happened during that short period of time.

For example, there have been several planning meetings with our allies to discuss the takeover of West Mountain Pack, the takeover of the werewolf council, and the various trials that will need to be held. As the Goddess-chosen leader of the werewolf council, Lily technically does not need input from us or our allies on most of these decisions. However, Lily has been adamant from the beginning that she wants as much buy-in from the broader werewolf community as she can get. She says that getting the buy-in will help rebuild the council’s reputation, will help ensure that future problems are brought to the council’s

You can imagine how much appreciated having to sit for hours on end while James and Lily practiced. ordering me to do goddess-whatever occurred to them. (Hint: not at all.) Even then, it might have been okay, but Charlotte quickly decided to take advantage of the situation by suggesting that Lily and James

dance.

Charlotte said that her suggestions were simply about making Sammy laugh. (Sammy and my mother

returned to Black Moon fairly late on the night that we confronted Evelyn and Andrew.) I am sure that

making Sammie laugh was part of it, and it is the only reason that I did not murder James despite how

much fun he seemed to be having at my expense. At the same time, I also know that an equally

important part of Charlotte’s suggestions was teaching me a lesson.

And what was that lesson? That Charlotte will not put up

bullsh&t.

You already know the events that led up to Charlotte slapping me. What you do not know is that I made.

things worse later that night. How? Well, I sort-of insisted that James and Lily stay in separate bedrooms while at Black Moon because they are not yet married. Everyone was shocked by my demand, including

To be fair, I had not really expected them to stay in separate rooms; I was just still feeling a little bitter
