Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 0259

When the guards opened the door and we were called to the stage, we all knew that something huge was about to happen. Robert and Randall tried to resist going to the stage, but I did not. I was genuinely curious about what was going on, and I trusted my son for the first time in a very long time.

Once we took the stage, things started to happen very, very quickly.

When the request was made to remove Randall from his alpha position, I could feel Randall next to me becoming extremely angry and upset. He clearly wanted to say or do something, but for some reason he

did not.

When Stephanie realized that she had been lied to and James was not her mate, a part of my heart broke

for her… even though I knew that I was partly to blame. I had been so angry at her for faking her death/

his own. What a f&&ing fool I was.

Before I could fully process those feelings, the fight began between the councilmembers, James, and

Lily. At first, I worried that James and Lily had taken on more than they could chew. But if they had, they

did not seem to realize it. Their confidence never faltered, and neither did the confidence of the three

alphas that were apparently standing with them.

I felt disgusted when Member Brown began talking about Lily going home and lying on her back. I

wondered how such a disgusting male had ever been selected for the council.

And then it was revealed that Lily was the chosen one. At that point, time stopped. Almost literally.

For a full five minutes after Lily revealed her identity, the only sound that could be heard in the entire

ballroom was that of heartbeats. Some relaxed, others beating really fast. Lily and James seemed to be
