Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 0034

However, I knew almost from the start that something was odd about the way that West Mountain Pack

reacted to Stephanie’s death. It was almost like they transformed the grieving process into an Olympic

sport. I assume there are a lot of factors that contributed to why the pack reacted the way that it did, and

some of those are probably quite legitimate, but after a year or two, the pack’s obsession with the dead.

she-wolf started to make me a bit uncomfortable. Frankly, it started to make a lot of packs in the

surrounding areas uncomfortable.

Ultimately, though, I decided that it was none of my business. I maintained my friendship

ship with Alpha

Randall –still occasionally arriving late to our meet-ups just to drive him crazy for old-times sake- and

just tried my best to avoid being around West Mountain Pack around these weird Stephanie-themed

holidays they created.

The turning point for me was when Lily applied to the accelerated medical program that I run in Red Rock. I received three phone calls shortly after she applied.

I had never seen any evidence that Lily had caused Stephanie’s death, despite offering to help with the

that Lily’s “inability to get along with pack members” was code for “we have been bullying her for years. without justification.”

How Alpha Randall could not see the reality in front of him was beyond me. As soon as I hung up the phone, I decided to not only accept Lily, but also take her under my wing. I also cut off further contact with Alpha Randall.

I have never regretted my decision. Since Lily enrolled in the program, she has been one of my best students, and she has been a joy to be around. In fact, I had just seen her a week ago and she was laughing and smiling with some of her friends in the school.

To see Lily now, in this state… that is enough to thaw even my frozen, a&&hole heart. Now I must determine if there is anything I can do medically to help her.

Goddess be with me, and be with Lily.
