Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 256

Chapter 0256

(James POV)

We knew that there was a possibility that Margie and Sheila would turn on one another before the evening was over, but none of us expected it would happen like this or so quickly.

Thankfully, though, we were (mostly) prepared.

I gave an alpha-order commanding that Margie freeze. Dr. Hyder then stepped forward and gave her an injection of a medication that would instantly relax but not sedate her. She was then led to a separate, smaller seating box that guards brought out. We also had a full set of cuffs placed on her, as opposed to the single wrist cuff that she and others had been wearing before.

Meanwhile, Dr. Miller came over to make sure that Sheila, her pup, and Beta Robert did not sustain any serious injuries. (Even though we acted quickly, the shock of finding out that Sheila was pregnant with Beta Robert’s pup prevented Lily and I from immediately giving the alpha order, and Margie was able to get a few blows in on both of them.)

Once the dust settled, guards tried to usher Beta Robert back to his original seat. However, he refused. He insisted on instead sitting with Margie. We ultimately decided to allow him to sit in the same box, but

not next to her.

During the transition, I took a moment to check on Lily. Finding out that Evelyn was her half-sister had been incredibly hard on her; I knew that finding out that Sheila’s pup was ALSO her half-sibling had to be killing her.

Sure enough, when I turned to her, Lily was fighting back tears. I gently placed my hands on either side of her face, and I stroked her cheek with my thumb.

“Do you want to step away for a few minutes? You and I can go somewhere and talk?” I mind-linked her.

“No,” she said bravely, “we need to finish this.”

“We can finish this after we take a minute or two,” I reassured her.

“No, I will be okay. I already knew my father was a cheating ba stard. What’s one more half-sibling?”

“But Evelyn’s mother is at least sane. This pup

-is currently in the incubator of the devil Incarnate?”

“Yeah.”

“We can’t exactly do anything to change it now. We just need to make sure none of them hurt anyone

else again.”

I kissed her forehead.

“Is Nick okay?” she asked me.

I looked off-stage, to where Nick was standing

He looked fr az zled.
