Chapter 0243

(Lily POV)

James laughed as he responded to a text on his phone. He then put the phone down and climbed into

bed next to me. We were currently staying in a hotel about 25 minutes from West Mountain Pack. The

hotel would act as our base of operations until we executed our final plans.

“Was that Joey?” I asked.

He smiled. “Yeah. I owe him $500.”

“You lost the bet?”

“Yes. Can you believe it? I thought for sure at least one of them would have some shame. But no, not

only did your mother convince the council to give both Stephanie AND Sheila passes so that they could

go shopping, but they are also getting full hair and spa treatments too.”

I laughed. “I tried to warn you not to make that bet with him.”

James smiled. “At least they will look their best for their destruction.”

“I assume the party is on then too?”

“Oh, yeah. Margie has omegas working overtime getting ready for it. She is calling it a ‘small’ party… just

500 guests.”

I sighed. “It’s amazing how predictable all of them are.”

Now that I was participating, having the pack and council takeovers occur in a big, public setting was no

longer as important as it was before. However, during our planning meetings, we all agreed that there was still value to getting the key players in the same room at the same time. That would prevent the key players from trying to hide or escape when they realized what was about to go down. Meanwhile, our allies would surround West Mountain’s borders in case any of the smaller players tried to make a run for

it.

Notably, getting everyone in the same place at the same time was by far the easiest part of the plan.

Being as predictable as they are/were, we knew that all we had to do was inform Stephanie that James was coming back and wanted to see her. My mother would have a celebration put together in no time

flat.

James’ face suddenly turned serious as he pulled me closer to him in the bed.

“Are you sure you are ready for all of this? I know it is a lot.”

I kissed him gently, put my head on his chest, and then grabbed his right hand, intertwining our fingers.

together.

“I am ready. It is a long time coming.”
