Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 267

Chapter 0267

I did not know that Stephanie was torturing Lily, but I would not have cared if I had known. The ability to

torture is an important life skill, and the ability to torture someone close to you is a demonstration that

you have mastered that talent.”

“I also have a question for Margie. I was friends with Lily in elementary school. You seemed to love her

back then. How could you later hate her enough to want to kill her? What did she do?” a wolf named

Anna asked.

“It is true that I used to love Lily. When she was younger, I never personally abused her. But I also never

felt connected to her the way that I did to Stephanie, and my love for Lily died over time…. especially after

Stephanie died and even more so when she and James discovered that they were mates. I began to hate

her like I hated myself.”

“But why?” the next wolf asked. “Why couldn’t you be happy that James and Lily were mates? You would

still have a daughter in the luna role.”

“No. It should have been Stephanie. Lily being mated to James did not make sense. I did not invest in

Lily; I invested in Stephanie. Stephanie was the one who deserved the role.”

Ultimately, we continued like this for about an hour, with most questions being aimed at Alpha Randall

and Margie. The questions soon became circular and repetitive, with everyone trying but failing to make

sense of all that had happened.

The longer the questions went on, the more I realized that no one was ever going to be satisfied with the

answers that we were getting. And that was because we were trying to put logic and reason where there

was none. Sometimes evil is just… evil. Poorly thought out, selfish in different ways at different times,

and often inconsistent even with itself.
