Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen
Chapter 105

Chapter 0105 (Lily POV) James carries me to his hotel room, while I try-but fail- to resist. “Liar. You aren’t even trying that hard,” Rose linked me. “He is way taller and stronger than me,” I remind her. “How can I fight him off?” “Um, with your alpha command?” Rose taunts. “I don’t even know how to control that yet,” I respond. I am only half-lying. I have not tried to use it since that first night with James and Brady at the luau. “It takes practice,” Rose acknowledges. “And it is easier to use it when you have heightened emotions. We can work on it. The point though, is that you are not even TRYING to use it. And do not pretend that you did not wave off Brady’s security guards when they tried to intervene.” I roll my eyes, which Rose can sense even if she cannot see them. “You must think that I am losing my mind.” “Yes,” Rose confirms. “I keep saying I do not want James and then I act like I do want James.” “Yep.” “And I say that I have forgiven him and then I lash out at him for something he did in the past.” “Yeah, you did that too.” “I think I was unconsciously looking for reasons to reject him again,” I admit. “I know you were. But he was smart enough to not make it easy for you to do that.”

“For years I have cursed him out in my head as being a man-wh ore while he was telling everyone else to avoid me because I was a sl ut, but it turns out he wasn’t one. Meanwhile, I am the one of the two of us who made out with two different males in 24-hour period. Do you…. do you think that I really am a sl ut, Rose?” Rose sighs. “You are not a sl ut, Lily. You are a 20-year-old female who is confused. You have two really hot male wolves who are competing for our love. One of those wolves has taken care of you and proven himself time and time again, and the other one is your mate. If you were not confused and changing your like you spread your legs or anything. If kissing is all it takes to earn the ‘s’ title in your mind, I worry abou our future.” Ah, my wolf Rose. I do not know for sure, but the way she talks sometimes, I cannot help but wonder if she is a secret ny mph. Whatever male wolf we end up had better be prepared. We finally make it to James’ room. It is two floors above mine, on the far other side of the resort. He gently places me on the ground and opens the door. True to his word, there are two beds in the room. He walks over to his suitcase, pulls out a t-shirt, and hands it to me. “What is this?”

“I thought you might want something to sleep in.” “You know, I had pajamas back in my room.” “I am not carrying you all the way back there. That is a long walk, and you are heavy.” James rubs his shoulder for emphasis, pretending it is sore. I glare at him, and he laughs.

“I am joking, relax. I wasn’t exactly thinking when we left your room. You do not have to wear my shirt if

you do not want to, but it should be comfortable if you do. The bathroom is right over there.”

“Thank you,” I say as I make my way to the bathroom.

I quickly change and head back into the bedroom. I find James sitting on the edge of one of the beds.

He gestures towards the other one.

“You can have that bed there. There are extra blankets and pillows in the closet over there if

you need them. My mini-fridge has plenty of waters in it if you get thirsty. Room service runs 24 hours if you get hungry. Can you think of anything else you might want or need?”

I shake my head, smile, and walk over to the other bed. Just before I sit down, I decide to walk over to where James is sitting instead. I lean down and give him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Thank you, James.”

He looks at me curiously.

“I mean it. Thank you. Today has been a lot, and I do not know what I am feeling or what the future holds for either of us, but I want you to know that I appreciate that you are trying.”

He gives me a huge smile.

“In fact, I may even remove your picture from my dart board,” I tease.

“Please don’t. I don’t want you to forget me yet,” he says seriously.

I do not know how to respond to that comment, so I just head back to the other bed and lay down.

After a couple more minutes of small talk, we agree that we both need some sleep. I am definitely tired, but I am honestly more eager to finally talk to Rose about everything that happened. Our conversation on

the way to the room was not long enough.

With my back to James, I open the link to Rose.

“Rose, do you believe that he is really a virgin? I mean, he sounded convincing, and I cannot imagine why he would tell me he has dysfunction problems if it is not true, but… how? Alpha wolves usually need to have sex all the time. It is one of the reasons that I never wanted to be mated to an alpha; I never wanted

to get someone else’s hand-me-downs.
