Mated in the shadow of my sister by lady gwen
Chapter 244

Chapter 0244

I went over to his house after I got off work. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. But I heard screaming from inside. To make a long story short, Joey’s dad was wasted drunk and angry.

I guess Joey’s parents were heavily in debt and they were afraid that they were going to lose their house. One of his dad’s friends was a ga mma in another pack, and his daughter had always had a crush on Joey even though she was four years older than him. When her mate unexpectedly died just a couple of weeks

after they met, her dad was desperate to make her feel better. The ga mma offered Joey’s parents

enough money to pay off the mortgage on their house if Joey would agree to marry his daughter.

Joey was not even 18 yet, and he was in love with Jessica. He was sure that she would end up being his

mate. He thought his dad’s idea was insane, and he absolutely refused to marry anyone other than

Jessica.

I know all of this because when I got to his house, his dad was screaming the whole story in anger. Out of instinct, I opened the front door, which was unlocked. To my horror, I walked in on his dad whipping

Joey with a silver whip. Joey was unconscious and Rose and were worried that he did not have much

time left.

When he saw me, Joey’s dad tried to go after me too, but I shoved him back hard, with all my strength. I told him to never touch Joey again. I also told him to stop pressuring Joey to leave Jessica. I then gave him my necklace, which I assumed he could sell to get enough money for the back due mortgage payments.”

“The one with the diamond pendant? That your father gave you?”

*You remember it?”

James looked at me sadly. “Your dad gave it to you on your 13th birthday. I remember you proud of that necklace, just like you were of every gift your dad gave you.”

“I was. And that one ended up being the last gift that my dad ever gave me. When I gave it to Joey’s dad,

I told him that in exchange for me giving it to him, I expected him to forget who I was and where he got the necklace.”

I wiped a couple of tears away from my eyes. I really had loved my father. I still loved him. I wish I

I I understood why things had to go so very wrong.

“Anyway,” I continued, “after his dad left the room, I checked on Joey. I was scared that he was not going. to make it. There was so much blood, and I could not get Joey to wake up when I shook him. I pleaded with Rose, asking her to come up with an idea to save him. At that point, she had me shift into her form. She then used her tongue to lick Joey’s wounds, which made the wounds immediately heal. We shifted

“Wow,” James said.

“I remember being so scared that Joey’s dad was going to hurt Joey again or say something to someone

about how I intervened, but… he never did.”

“You used your alpha command on him,” Rose linked me.

“I did what?”

“It wasn’t at full force yet, but it was enough to get the job done. Your emotions were super intense that

night,” Rose explained.

James raised an eyebrow at me. “Rose have input?”

I nodded. “She says that Joey’s dad never said anything because I used my alpha command on him.

unknowingly.”

“Does she know how Jessica found out about it and you?” James asked.

“She was hiding under the couch,” Rose linked.

“WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? She was there and you didn’t tell me? Why didn’t you make me tell her to stay quiet

too?”

Rose sighed. “I trusted Jessica, and I could smell her intense guilt and her intense fear. I knew it would

take her time before she would be willing to talk to anyone about what happened. I did not know it would

take her YEARS, but I knew we did not have to worry about her.”

I looked up at James with wide eyes. “Jessica was under the couch. I had no idea. Rose never told me.”

James climbed on top of me. “You, Lily Brogan, are the most amazing she-wolf that I have ever met,” he said seriously.

With that, he kissed me. And then he began kissing my neck. When his lips reached my mark, I moaned.

“Are you sure you aren’t going to stop this time?” I teased him. “You don’t have any more dying.

questions?”

He gently pulled my nightgown up over my head. “Nope.”

“How do you know I’m still interested?”

“As if you could resist me,” he said with a smile. “Your sex drive is almost higher than mine.”

his hands found their way to my breasts, I pushed his pajama pants down and arched my back.
