Lily and James (werewolf novel) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 0069

(Alpha Brady POV)

I am an idiot. An absolute, complete, utter idiot.

First, I rejected my mate.

And now… now I am falling head over heels in love with someone else’s.

What is wrong with me?!?!?!

I should have known the second that my father asked me if I loved Lily. He has always been far more intuitive than I give him credit for. I am supposed to be the special wolf, and yet he always seems to

know things far earlier than I do.

When he first asked me if I loved Lily, I did not want to admit it. I knew that I was attracted to her, but I told myself that it was impossible that I already loved her. Lily and I had only just met, and she had a ton

of trauma that she was working through. My interest in her was primarily to be her friend and help her. Of

course, it did not hurt that she was incredibly hot and kind and funny… but no, I did not love her. I could

not; I had not been romantically interested in a she–wolf since Evelyn.

And yet the second my father asked me if I loved Lily, a part of me knew he was right. I fought it for a while… but being here in Hawaii with her has caused even the most reluctant part of me to accept the

facts.

I am not falling in love with Lily; I have fallen in love with Lily.

F&&k my life.

Here I am, in the most romantic state in the United States, with a she–wolf that I have just realized that I

am in love with, and I am basically forcing her to meet with her ex–mate.

How did I end up in this position? Is this my punishment for what I did to Evelyn?

I know we are here for Lily’s own safety. We need to find out what James wants and then close that

chapter of their lives. But what if James decides that he wants her back? Worse, what if Lily decides

that she wants him back too? Getting over Evelyn was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to

do. Truth be told, I am still not over her. Am I prepared to get my heart broken for a second time?

Honestly, in retrospect, I wish I had convinced Lily that we needed to meet James somewhere else.

Somewhere with a cold, snowy climate that requires lots and lots of layers of clothing. Alaska would

have been a great choice. But no, stupid me had to agree to Hawall. A place that not only screams
