Mated in the Shadow of My Sister novel Chapter 110

Chapter 0110

(Lily POV)

I waited patiently as Brady paused. At this point in the story, I did not know what to think, and I was afraid

which direction the story might go.

Brady did not hold me in suspense long.

“Evelyn was thrilled

to discover that we were mates,” Brady continued, “and a big part of me was happy

too. However, 20-year-old me also panicked. I kept thinking about the fact that being mated to Evelyn.

meant that I would never know what it felt like to have sex with others. I would also never get to

experience the excitement of ‘love at first sight.”

The more my panic set in, the more I realized that I had to get out of there. I turned around and ran back

to the packhouse. Kalen was screaming at me to go back to our mate, but I just couldn’t bring myself to

do so.

Evelyn was not the type of she-wolf who ran away from her problems. She always confronted them

heads on. And so, to her credit, Evelyn chased after me. But I was faster, so by the time she caught up, I

had already made it back to my room.

Huffing and puffing. Evelyn demanded that I tell her what was wrong. I did not know what to tell her, so I

did not say anything. I just stared out the window.

Evelyn then asked me if I was unhappy about us being mates. I hated the pain that I heard in her voice,

but I did not know what to say. I mean, how do you tell the woman that you have loved for years that you

are happy that you are mated to her, but that you are also disappointed that you were not mated to

someone else? Or that you are relieved that she will never be touched by another male, but that you are

disappointed that you will never get to have sex with another female? (2

As I was trying to figure out how to explain it all, Evelyn put her hand on my arm in a comforting manner. I

felt the sparks for the first time, and they were everything that everyone had ever told me about.

Today, I fully recognize just how st upid and selfish that idea was, but at the time, I truly did think it was

brilliant.

Evelyn, not surprisingly, did not agree. She angrily got dressed and asked me if I would be okay if she slept with other guys during our ‘break.’ I growled and told her that no wolf was allowed to touch what was mine. She looked at me like I had grown five heads which honestly, I probably had- and

responded ‘fine.”

–

I should have known that ‘fine’ did not mean ‘fine,’ but she had handled everything up until that point so

well that I st upidly assumed that ‘fine’ meant that she agreed with my plan.

I said the words of rejection, and she accepted. We both passed out. That is not that unusual when mates reject each other, but it was yet another thing I had not thought about when I proposed the temporary rejection. She missed her entire birthday because of my st upidity, just like James made you miss yours. 2,

Three days later, I woke up in a hospital bed with my father glaring daggers at me. It turns out that Evelyn

had woken up first, and she told my parents and hers everything that had happened. My father was more pi ssed at me than I had ever seen him before in my life.

My father’s reaction was everything you might expect. He did not want to be alpha for a second longer

than he had to be. Because I voluntarily rejected my luna, he no longer cared to wait to transfer power until I had one. He told me that I would have to learn to live with the consequences of my own stupid mistakes, and that included taking on the responsibility of running the pack by myself.
