A smile finally crossed Chris’ face. “You sit on the sidelines? Yeah, right,” he teased, and she rolled her eyes.
“Yes, now I’m sideline Lily. No more rushing into the heat of things,” she told him pointedly, and his grin grew.
“What about A.J.?” Jia asked and once more Lily sighed.
“The queen says it’s better if I take him with me. Apparently, her visions say it’s not a good idea to leave him here,” she explained.
“And what about James?” Chri

It was nearly eight by the time they had gone back to the Roberts’s house. Lily had to admit, she enjoyed herself. Oddly, it was the most fun she had in a long time. She stood out on the porch as James got ready to leave. “Thanks today, A.J. enjoyed himself,” she told him, feeling it was important to let him know that he’d done a good thing today.“No problem Lily. I enjoyed spending time with him,” he told her, giving her a smile. “I would like to do this again.” Only with A.J. or with me too? The question popped into her head, unasked for. Oh, stop that Lily, she scolded herself.“I think A.J. would like that too,” Lily replied. James just stood there for a moment, looking at her, and it made her a little nervous.“Well, I’ll be around tomorro

“You did good, James,” she admitted to him, then pat him on the shoulder, but as soon as her hand touched his shoulder, a strange warm tingling sensation ran through her hand and arm. The look on James’ face told her he felt it, too. Lily removed her hand with a slight sense of panic. What the hell was that? She thought and went to the living room.“So you think I did good?” James asked and Lily was thankful that he ignored that…whatever it was, too. It was just static electricity for Lily, she told herself. You work with too many electronic gadgets and it’s got you super charged, that’s all!“Yeah,” she replied, her voice sounding a little tight, so she cleared her throat. “Yeah, James, you did good. A.J. has taken to you… You have a nice apartment,” she added, trying to not appear

“It was me or him,” Lily said, glancing at A.J. and James looked confused. “A.J. has one…issue,” she started, and he looked at his son with slight concern on his face. “A.J. is a biter, and he does it well. When he gets angry, or doesn’t like someone A.J. will bite them…he nearly took off a person’s finger once. I’ve learned to recognize the signs of when he’s getting pissed,” Lily explained.“Still don’t get why you acted that way towards Ginger,” James stated, sounding more confused than disapproving now.Lily leaned forward and in a whisper told him. “Look around James; you notice how these people look at me? None of them are happy that I’m here. I don’t care what they think, but it not only affects me. A.J. is marked because of me and if he bit into

Lily followed James into the small diner. She had been in there a few times, but not too many, since a lot of werewolves hung out there. As a human, she avoided all werewolves that weren’t her adopted family, and now it was just an old habit hard to break. Plus, she knew none of them enjoyed having her around, either.“Hey James,” an older waitress called out with a warm smile.“Hey Cat, how’s the day going for you?” James replied.“You know how it is,” the waitress replied with a chuckle.“That bad huh,” he joked, and she waved him off with another chuckle. Lily was a little surprised by the exchange. These people had feared and hated him at one time. Lily shook her head as they sat down in a booth. “What?” James asked with a curious expression.“You’re just one more of the pack now, huh?” Lily asked back with an amused but also a little irritated. She didn’t miss how they looked at her as they went to their booth. They must have put her in James’s old place as the dangerous element

“Sort of. Maybe in time we’ll manage friends,” James replied and noticed a brief look of disappointment on the ex-alpha’s face.“Well, that’s good. Spending time with her and A.J. seems like a good start to get the ball rolling,” Andrew told him and James nodded in agreement. Lily came down with A.J. soon after, both ready to go.“We can take my car,” Lily told him as they walked out of the house. He recognized that rusted death trap as the one Chris had driven to talk to him.“I’d rather not. That car looks about a hundred years old. I drove my truck. There will be enough room for all three of us,” James replied, and Lily looked like she was about to argue when she shrugged.&ldquo

James stood outside for a moment; he still couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to the way they were acting than the fact that Chris had a new mate. When he arrived at his apartment that night, he tossed his keys on the coffee table and walked into his bedroom, wondering about the events of the day.Were Lily and Chris hiding something else? If so, what? He thought about A.J. and for the first time since he started working for Freddie; he wished he didn’t have to go to work tomorrow so he could spend the whole day with him, but he couldn’t leave Freddie hanging like that. Friday was usually their busiest day besides Monday.They were slammed with work all day; James hardly had time to think as they rushed from one house to the next. So by the time he finished for the day, the only thing he wanted to do was crawl into bed despite his original idea of going over to see A.J. It didn’t help that since Lily came back he hadn’t been sleeping too well either. He kept thinking about

“So,” she said slowly, and he was sure she felt as awkward as he did right now. “What brings you over here today?”“Besides the fact I want to spend some time with my son?” James asked, a little bitterly, and he saw her wince even though she tried to hide it. He knew it was wrong, but it made him feel a slight feeling of satisfaction. “I came here to let you know I want to spend Saturday with him.”Lily seemed to think about something, then nodded. “That sounds good. I heard the weather is going to be nice then, and I saw a cool park on main street,” she said and James was again a little surprised that not only did she have any problems with it but thought it was a good idea.“Good, so I’ll be here around ten?” James asked, and she nodded.“I’ll have him ready by then,” she offered. He returned her nod and stood up, about to leave, but Sandy insisted James stay for dinner, not that he put up a fight to leave. Her cooking was the best he had ever eaten, pl

James put his tools in the back of Freddie’s truck, feeling famished and ready to eat. “Hey James,” he heard someone called after him. Damn it, he swore silently. Why did everyone bother him when he was about to eat? He turned to see Chris walking up to him. What was he doing there? How’d he even know where to find him?“Hey Chris, what’s up?” He asked as he grabbed his food and took out the large sandwich he made that morning.“Well, I was wondering if I could talk to you about Lily,” Chris offered, and James sighed with a shake of his head.“What about her?” He said with an edge to his voice, but honestly, he didn’t care. What more was there to talk about that woman?“I know things are a bit messed up and you’re mad, but I wanted to ask if you would go easy on her,” Chris said and James scoffed as he took a bite of his sandwich. “Look James, she’s been through a lot during the time she’s been gone,” he added, with a hint of anger in his voice. James was getting angry.“Yeah, yeah, y

“So what are we really doing?” Chris asked once they were outside.“Well, first I'm really going to check out the town so I can be seen. Remember, I got to make sure it’s well known that I’m back in town,” Lily told them as they walked to her old car inside the garage. She really hoped it would start considering the layer of dust covering it. “I also thought about visiting Lacey,” she said quietly as they got into the car. Chris shot a pained look in her direction.“That one you’ll have to do without me,” he told her with a frown and she returned his frown.“I think you should go with me, Chris,” she replied as she attempted to start the car.“No, Lily. I’m not going,” he said firmly. She sighed, knowing he wouldn’t change his mind and continued to coax her car into starting. Finally, it started and purred to life and Lily smiled. I knew I could count on you, baby, she cooed silently.“Alright Chris, I won’t ask you again,” Lily told him as she backed out of the garage and down the dr
