Mated in the Shadow of My Sister novel Chapter 49

Chapter 0049

Trigger Warning: This chapter will discuss infant death/ miscarriage.

(Luna Jane POV)

My stomach twisted in knots as I tried to find the courage to tell James and Nick the next part of the

story. I knew that neither of them would ever look at me the same once they found out what I had done.

At the same time, I knew that I was not going to be able to avoid this secret any longer. It was time that it

all came out. Whether I had intended it to or not, my secret was impacting my son and now our pack.

“Tyler… Tyler was the name of Robert and Margie’s first son.”

I spit it out quickly, knowing that doing so would force me to confess the rest.

I saw the shock on the faces of both James and Nick. Neither of them had any idea that Robert and

Margie had a pup before Stephanie.

James let go of my hand and sank down into his father’s chair. I could practically feel James holding his

breath, waiting for the next revelations that would come.

I turned and looked at my son, begging him with my eyes not to hate me.

“Before we found out that we were mates, your father had a girlfriend. Her name was Cecilia. She and I

were what you might call ‘frenemies.’ We were friends, but we also hated each other. We were always

competing against one another for grades, for boys, for spots on the cheerleading team.

When Cecilla began dating your father, I was more jealous than I had ever been about anything. As a

result, I stopped even pretending to be her friend. Instead, I began finding petty or silly ways to

embarrass or undermine her in front of your father. I became what the teenagers now call a ‘mean girl.

Looking back on it, I am not proud of how I behaved, but it was what it was.
