Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen

Chapter 0192

(Lily POV)

When we got back to the table, we realized that it was not just Charlotte who was now smiling. Derek

was too.

James and I could immediately tell that something had changed, but we were not sure what or why.

“You both look happier,” I commented.

“Yes,” Charlotte smiled.

“The power of the mate bond and a little time alone,” James pointed out in our link.

As we began to dig into our dinners, Derek directed his attention back to me.

“Tell me a little bit more about yourself, Lillibet,” Derek said.

“Well, for starters my name is Lily,” I responded matter-of-factly.

“Oh, sorry. Lillian, will you tell me more about yourself?” +

“Lily. Her name is Lily,” James corrected.

“Oh, my apologies. I meet so many people, it is hard to keep them all straight. I am horrible with names.”

I nodded in understanding, even though I could tell that he was lying.

“What would you like to know?”

“How long have you and James here known each other?”

I smiled as I grabbed James’ hand. “Since we were kids. We grew up together.”

“And you always suspected that you were mates?”

James frowned. “No. It was a surprise to both of us.”

“A happy surprise?”

James squeezed my hand. “It is now.”

“When do you plan to mark each other?”

I furrowed my brows. “We have not really talked about it. We are taking things slow.”

“You have known each other all your lives and yet you want to take things slow?” Derek responded in a disbelieving tone. “How much longer do you need?”

“Why all the questions?” James cut in. His fan-guy face was gone, now replaced by his annoyed-alpha

one.

“Oh, Derek is thinking of writing a book,” Charlotte gushed. “He told me he is going to use me as his muse

for the female lead,”

“Oh, really? That is awesome,” I replied.

“Yes… but I will probably give the character a more… you know… feminine persona,” Derek offered.

I looked over at Charlotte. Her long hair was curled and she had one side pinned up with a diamond hair clip. Her makeup was perfect, with bright red lipstick and a smokey eyelid color. Her nails were perfectly manicured, with a pinkish red color. She also had a beautiful sapphire-colored dress on.

In other words, just like always, Charlotte was the poster child for femininity.

“More feminine persona?” I asked, surprised. “Charlotte is one of the most feminine she-wolves that I

know.”

“Oh, I did not mean to suggest that Charlotte is not feminine. It is just that… well, I like my females a little more… Derek paused and looked at James for help. “James knows what I mean.”

James looked at Derek suspiciously. “Actually, I do not.”

Derek’s eyes darted to my chest. “Yeah, maybe you would not understand my concern. It looks like you

are more than covered in that area.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked angrily.

Derek gave me an annoyed look. “Are you really going to make me say it out loud?”

“Say what out loud?”

“What is wrong with Charlotte.”

I gasped. “There is nothing wrong with Charlotte!”

I looked over at my friend. My heart broke for her as I saw the hurt evident on her face.

“No, I am sorry. There is nothing wrong with Charlotte. You are right. I just meant that I have a certain…

you know, preference.”

“Meaning?” James asked, clearly getting just as upset as I was.

“Charlotte’s breasts are too small. Fine, I said it. I like boobs that spill over my hand when grab them, that I can really dig my face into and get lost in.”

Oh, my Goddess,

I took a sip of my water, trying to prevent myself from getting up and strangling Charlotte’s mate.

“Do you have an a&&hole classification for this?” I mind-linked James.

Yes it is called ‘reject and run.” And fast,” he replied.

“I can get breast implants,” Charlotte blurted out

I spit out the water that I had in my mouth. “Charlotte! No!”

How did my amazing, confident friend so quickly turn into this insecure shell of herself, willing to get surgery for this obnoxious male?

Derek rolled his eyes. “Fake breasts are not as good as the real thing. But if you want to get them, Charlotte, I will not stop you. It may help a little bit. Either way, though, I will get used to what you have. The Moon Goddess paired us for a reason, right?”

rcasm was about the

I could not help but notice the obvious sarcasm in his voice. I could not tell if the sarcasm

implants helping or about the Moon Goddess having a reason to pair them. Either way, I was done.
