Mated in the Shadow of My Sister

Chapter 0027 (Lily POV) There is only so much suffering that I can be expected to deal with, and there are only so many lies that I can be expected to tell myself to make it all okay. I refuse to be punished any longer. I am not Stephanie. Who f—ing cares! No one in […]

Chapter 0026 (James POV) It is now 11:37 am, which means that Stephanie’s first memorial event of the day is officially and already 37 minutes behind schedule.

Chapter 0025 “Okay, Rose. I do not think I can open my eyes again anyway. Or speak. It hurts too much.” “I know, Lily. I am sorry. I am so sorry. I promise we will get out of here though. We will follow our plan. Just hold on a little longer for me, okay?” “O–okay.”

Chapter 0021 (James POV) It is 10:58 am. My parents, Stephanie’s parents, Nick, Jenny, and I are gathered at the back of the event hall. An Omega informs us that everyone has been seated. It is time to begin Stephanie’s first remembrance event of the day. “Are you ready to go, Son?” my father asks.

Chapter 0019 (James POV) I felt strangely energized as I arrived back at the pack house. Luke was moping in the back of my head, but he was leaving me be. His absence –or rather, his lack of endlessly badgering me– gave me plenty of time to think about how I could use the mate

Chapter 0018 “I do not feel strong anymore, Rose. I am really sorry. I want to be strong for you, but I think the Moon Goddess made a bunch of mistakes when it comes to me.” “The Moon Goddess does not make mistakes, Lily,” Rose responds reassuringly. “My own mate does not want me!” I
