Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 0248

(Stephanie POV)

I am soooooooo excited. Today is the day that I will finally be reunited with James, experience the mate bond, and be officially introduced to the pack as their future luna.

My nails and toes are perfectly polished; my hair has been trimmed, highlighted, and styled; and I have been waxed to ensure that I have exactly zero body hair below my neck.

– vervo

I am also wearing one of the two beautiful dresses that I purchased for today. We else that they should dress business-formal, but I opted for pink sequins for both of my dresses. I am the star of the party, and the star of James’ heart, and I want to make sure that I stand out. Yes, pink is a little juvenile and a bit overdone, but it is my favorite color and one that I know will help remind James of our wonderful past together.

Speaking of James, I am annoyed that I have not seen him yet. I was really hoping that we could have some private time together before the party. A fresh mating mark would have been the perfect accessory for my dress. In fact, that is why I insisted on the hair stylist doing an up-do for me.

Unfortunately, James ignored all of my text messages until about 30 minutes ago, which was just before the party was supposed to start. And even then, he sounded strangely distant:

Me: “James, I thought you were coming home today? I miss you. We have an entire party set up to celebrate you and I tonight.”

James: “I am already back. I am surprised no one told you. I had to meet with my father, and now I have a couple of other things to take care of. I will meet you at the party.”

Me: “I was hoping to see you before the party.”

James: “It will not work out.”

Me: “Aren’t you excited to see your mate?”

James: “I am incredibly excited to see my mate.”

Me: “Why don’t I meet you in our room before the party, and we can walk over together?”

James: “Our room?”

Me: “Yes. [smiling face emoji] I already moved into the alpha suite, into your room. Your father said that!

could. I had to get rid of a few of your things to make space for my stuff, but I hope you do not mind. I would have asked you first, but you weren’t returning my calls.”

James: “What things did you get rid of?”
